the respect new york times-sienna poll released today holds bad news for kamala harris. a dead heat, 48-48, but that means the lead harris held just a couple of weeks ago has disappeared. the number also conceals a big trump advantage in the electoral college. on the campaign trail today, harris goes to texas. the border won't get much attention. her speech will be about abortion. beyonce and willie nelson will entertain the crowd. her campaign comes down to star power, demonizing trump and, yes, abortion. donald trump will also be in texas. he's going to sit down with joe rogan. he has an audience of 15 million, probably much more with trump. on sunday he rallies at new york city's madison square garden. the place sold out in three hours. hillary clinton says trump will reenact the guard requesten rally back in 1939 -- rally back in 1939. it was a nazi rally. there's a natural progression here. harris has demonized trump

calling him a fascist. now he's hitler. to the markets, three days of losses for the dow and the s&p, but there's some buying this morning, modest at the moment. dow up 120, nasdaq up 113. little change for treasury yields. the 0-year is just -- 10-yeah is just below 4.2, and the 2-years at 4.0 to5. bitcoin hovering around $66,000. if no, it's gone up, $68,000 and change. and gold, that's $27 the 43, down just $5 this morning. oil -- 71 a barrel with. not much change. gas inching down again, the average is now $if 3.14 for regular, $3.58 for diesel. on the she today, lina khan strikes again. she heads the ftc and opposes almost all mergers. and the merger between capris and tapestry has been blocked. why? because if they got together, it would apparently kill competition in the handbag industry.

and tonight game one of the world series. the yankees take on the dodgers in the bronx. it's on fox. it is the friday, october the 25th, 2024. "varney & company" is about to begin. ♪ ♪ ♪ stuart: this is the the easy beats, i'm reliably informed. [laughter] friday on my mind. guaranteed to play that on a friday morning. why not? okay. it's a deserted sex sixth -- sixth avenue again. you don't go to work in the city on a friday, do you? eleven days to go until election day. madison alworth with us. trump was in vegas last night. what did he say? >> he was really bullish on his odds of winning the swing with states. take a listen to the former president.

>> we're leading by a lot in nevada. we're leading by a lot in arizona, michigan, pennsylvania. [cheers and applause] wisconsin. this will be the biggest political event in the history of our country. if we are going to defeat kamala harris, we are going to make america great again. >> very confident on stage. but trump's actions, they show he's not resting on his laurels. trump was in nevada and arizona yesterday, and today he's going to be in michigan and texas. harris will also be making her way to texas after a big night in georgia where she contrasted herself to trump. but before harris even hit the stage, she had some big opening acts including former president obama and bruce spring steven. bruce springsteen. >> i am bruce if springsteen, and i am here today to support

kamala harris and tim walz for president and vice president of the united states. [cheers and applause] ♪ this gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark ♪ >> there was a lot of star power yesterday. harris' running mate, walz, was over in north carolina at a rally where he gave a speech, and james taylor serenaded supporters with a concert. it doesn't stop there. harris is in texas today hosting an event with a focus on abortion. she is going to be joined, as you see, by texas the native beyonce. the superstar will rally with harris, and she's also set to perform. stuart. stuart: what's that guy's name again? >> james taylor. stuart: mr. melancholy. i'm sure he'll do the campaign a lot of good. thanks, madison. a new poll found 49% of voters trust donald trump to handle the issues they think are most important. that is, immigration and the economy. he leads harris 49-46 on those

issues. todd piro with me this morning. i say harris is basing her campaign on demonizing trump and using star power, it's not helping that much in the polls. what say you? >> i think what you just said along with those numbers, they go in concert because if she were winning on the issues, she wouldn't need to to rely on those things that you just mentioned. that's all she has, stu. that's the only chance she has at winning because when you break out these numbers, the american people trust trump on the issues. and it's been that that way for a while. they. don't even trust kamala on really the ability to lead period, and that's why you've seen this coming to the mean, they're all coming to this tied number with the new york times. think about that for a moment. this is "the new york times." this isn't, you know, rasmussen. this isn't, you know, trafalgar. this is "the new york times." that bodes poorly for kamala. stuart: but the times poll was out today, that means that harris has lost the lead which

she had in that poll just a couple of weeks ago. to the trend is definitely towards trump. >> right. we do have 11 days to go, and the game does not end in the third quarter, i understand that. 9 if the election were heldedded the to, i think most people in this game would say trump would win, again, 11 days to the go. stuart: got it. trump and kamala harris will both with -- be in texas today to. listen to what trump had to say about harris' handling of the border. roll it. >> and she said, quote, i think we did the right thing. >> wait a minute, that she's handling it correctly? >> correct. >> she said that? >> she said that. she said, quote, i think we did the right thing. >> we allowed 211 million peopl, we allowed mental institutions from all over the world. if she said that, look, she's a grossly incompetent person, and if she said that, they had the worst border in history. stuart: you know, harris is not going today border today. >> your producers sent out the topics, they give us a little time to prep.

i still don't have a reason why she's going to texas. i can't give you an answer. i understand she wants colin allred to win the senate seat there, but at some point you've got to put on your own mask before you put on the max of the person sitting next to to you. this makes no sense other than she wants a beyonce concert because she thinks it's going to the help her in the ore states. it underscores the fact you are in, the, the border is the one or two issue on everybody's mind, and you're ignoring it? bad move. i don't get it. prove me wrong in 11 days, kamala, i don't think you will. stuart: todd, thank you very much. madison, take us through real clear politics' battleground match-ups. in which states is he ahead? >> he's ahead in every single battleground state. we'd like to think that all the states matter, but the reality is we know those battleground states are going to be the all too important come election day. let's take a looked at the real clear politics battleground match-up between harris and

trump. he's up in every single state, in some cases by very small numbers though, so keep that in mind. the biggest spread does seem to be in georgia where rpc -- rcp has him up by 2.2 points. the tightest states are wisconsin and michigan. trump started to pull ahead on this poll on september 7th, and and he's maintained that gap between him and harris -- 27th. if the swing states go his way on election day, real clear politics say trump will be president. stuart: thank you very much, madison. this is friday morning heading into the weekend, we're up across the board. the dow up 100, nice gain for the nasdaq, 114. kenny polcari with me here in new york city this weekend -- no. justed today -- >> i am here for the weekend, actually. stuart: we've seen a rally recently.

would you call it a trump rally? >> i do think it's a trump rally. it appears that trump is taking the lead, and the polls show that. so, yes, i think this is a trump rally. stuart: okay. tell me about tesla. is it all about the robotaxi? we keep hearing this, but i don't know much about it. >> i think it's about the robotaxi, but i also think it's about their energy generation and storage business. that was up 52% in yesterday's report, so that's going to be -- while it's small in in relation to the total company, it is going to be one of their focuses. yes, i think it's the whole thing, but i certainly think the the a.i. and robotics part, the energy and storage is all exciting, so it all came together, and he saw that yesterday, up 22%. stuart: next week we have got apple, microsoft, google, amazon, meta if all in a 3-day space. >> yep. stuart: they better not disappoint. >> no, it's going to be the an exciting week. remember, the bar is low this quarter, so i'd be very

surprised if any of those disappointed. it's all about a a.i. we saw what happened with taiwan semi, we saw what happened with nsap, so i'm very excited for tech next week. stuart: you'll see it next week. on this network, by the way. we've got madison back. i want to know about mix's wealth. as of this morning -- musk's wealth. how much is this guy worth? >> around $270.3 billion. he added $33.5 billion to his net worth yesterday alone. tesla posted their biggest single-day gain in over a decade. so shares ended the day up about 22%. mixing is far and -- musk is richest man in the world, he's worth $61 billion more than jeff bezos who comes in second place. his wealth is thanks to tesla, spacex, x and his artificial intelligence firm, xai. there are talks that musk could

bring his business prowess the washington heading up a new department focusing on government efficiency. but in the meantime, musk has said he thinks tesla will become the most valuable country in the world. stuart: he's the richest guy, $27 the 0 billion -- >> and by far. >> i'm sure it's driving bernie, lizzie, the aoc squad crazy. [laughter] stuart: he doesn't need all of that money, so take it off him. oh, please. thanks very much. coming up, when it comes to questions about lagging support, he's has has a new -- harris has a new default answer. >> they're supporting donald trump right now. why do you think that is? >> it's not the experience i'm having. >> black men aren't as, quote, excited or fired up for you. >> well, that's not my experience. stuart: that's a bit like i was born into a middle class family. tammy bruce on that later in the

sew. -- in the show. kamala and others are comparing trump to dictators. here's what trump had to say about that. >> everyone knows that's not true. they call me everything until something sticks. so far it hasn't. stuart: all right. have the democrats gone too far attacking trump? gop spokeswoman will deal with that next. she's in the studio, walking towards the set and will appear if momentarily on camera. welcome to the show, elizabeth. good to see you. ♪ ♪ your best defense against erosion and cavities is strong enamel. nothing beats it. i recommend pronamel active shield

that's going to happen in f/x texas. then he heads to michigan later on tonight. mark meredith, what can we expect? >> reporter: stu, good morning to you. former president trump is all over the airwaves, television, radio and the internet. like you mentioned, while he's down in texas, he's going to sit down for an interview with joe rogan. it could be an interview which features millions of people, specifically young male voters. vice president harris turned down an opportunity to speak with rogan for the same podcast. overnight trump was in las vegas for a massive rally telling supporters he feels more confident now than ever before about his chances in the election. >> now she's imploding worse than him. she's actually imploding. if you take a look. because, look, i'm not supposed to say it, but we are leading by so much. [cheers and applause] >> reporter: you could hear the crowd there. overnight trump's 2016 opponent,

former secretary of state hillary clinton, claimed trump is trying to mimic nazi behavior because he's going to host a rally at madison square garden this sunday. this is talking about an event that happened back in 1939 when there was a group openly supportive of hitler that held a rally there. democrats have held events at a madison square garden over the years, but take a listen the what clinton had to say last night. >> now, it may be a leap for some people and and a lot of others may think i don't want to go there, i don't want to say that, but, please, open your eyes to the danger that this man poses the our country. >> reporter: team trump tells fox that these comments are disgusting, in their view, and trump himself for much of this week has been pushing back against concerns that he's a fascist after harris called him one in a cnn town hall. take a listen the what trump had the tell fox yesterday. >> she did call me a fascist, and everyone knows that's not true. they call me everything until,

you know, manager sticks. so far it hasn't, and they're running out of time. >> reporter: so we know that trump is going to be in texas for that joe rogan interview. he's also going to be talking about the border. stu, this guy's going to be all over the place, including here in travers city, he's got a rally tonight, another one in michigan and off to pennsylvania tomorrow. stu? stuart: mark, thanks very much, indeed. let's bring in the gop national spokeswoman joining me now here in new york city. how do you respond, first of all, to kamala harris calling trump a fascist and now hillary clinton linking trump the to hitler? if. >> yeah. let me tell you with, stu, you found the right person to gel about concern yell about this. i'm an orthodox jew and the daughter of immigrants from the former soviet union. i know fascism all too well. i also know, obviously, unfortunately, all too well what happened during world war ii and what we need to know about hitler. i think it's an embarrassing attempt to try to sway the momentum to her when we know the

american people know better, and she knows better. it's also so disrespectful, so insulting the so many of us. we know what happened orphan july 13thth. we know -- on july 13th. donald trump almost lost his life. corey comperatore did, in fact, lose his life -- stuart: it's inflammatory. >>s it is, and anti-semitism is skyrocketing around the world, especially in this last year under kamala harris and joe biden. to say something like this knowing she's responsible for that is incredibly disrespectful. stuart: when you're losing in an election, the last desperate tactic is to call your opponent hitler. >> right. and it's not the first time, right? stuart: elizabeth, listen to what tim walz, what she said about elon musk's involvement in the trump campaign. watch this. >> you got elon musk prancing around on stage offering a million dollars to people or whatever. he knows what he's doing. that's a north carolina term too, right? that was a minnesota term when i

called him a dip [bleep] because that's what it is. [laughter] that wasn't a pejorative. standing up there as the richest man in the world instead of putting your money in to help people and end homelessness or hunger and all that, you're looking for a damn tax cut for yourself. that's what you're looking for. stuart: forgive the language there, but he did say it. how many voters do you think musk will bring to the trump campaign? >> quite a few actually. look, they say courage is contagious. i think it's unfortunate that it might take courage in america in 2024 to support a political candidate, but elon musk talked about how difficult it was to come out and say he's a trump support. there are fundamental american values we all used to share, right? freedom of religion, freedom of speech, so many different thicks that, unfortunately, i don't think the democrats stand for anymore. pride in our country. wanting immigrants to come here, but to come here the right way. basic fundamental values, that's the reason elon musk has come to

our side, and that's the reason donald trump has to coalition around him that he has, of former democrat, by the way. stuart: helps him financially too, $he's got $270 billion as of this morning. elizabeth, thank you for being with us. a french national is betting millions of dollars on trump's win. madison, how much has he bet? >> a lot of money, over $28 million. again, $28 million ifment on trump to win the election using four separate poly-market accounts. we have seen a surge for trump in the poly-market. i checked this morning before the show, he's favored at 64.3% the harris at 35.7. so this runup could be really seeing it shoot up in the past couple of days. it did draw some concern. it does seem part of it is the thanks to this one trader with his four account. so these four accounts all a belong to a french national who, according to the company, has, quote, extensive trading experience in a financial

services background. his can accounts were funded from a well known centralized crypto exchange, is he's got a lot of crypto money. the company is insisting there's no evidence this trader is trying to juice trump's odds, but trump's odds on the poly-market are much better than national polling. and the national polling shows he's neck and neck within the margin of error. but the poly-market has him way, way up. but the reality is this guy has put in over $20 million. he obviously thinks trump is going to win, and he, you know, will farewell if he does. stuart: has it affected the -- >> i actually, i actually do trust the betting markets. i think it's very interesting that there's that much of a gap between the betting markets and what the polls are saying, right? it's significant. so eiffel going to be very surprised -- i'm going to be very surprise surprised in suddenly whenever they get the results that they announce her as the tin we are -- the winner, i think it'll be interesting. stuart: let's hope we get a result. >> let's hope.

stuart: looks hike the market guess up at the opening bell. some green across the screen. mark mahaney joining us. you are maintaining a $200 price target on google even though the department of justice is suing them and maybe trying to break them up. why do you maintain 200? >> well,, valuation here, stu, is highly attractive. i mean, this asset is trading at 17, 18 times earning, so essentially a market average for what i think is one of the kind of most ebb during tech assets -- enduring tech assets out there. i think we're all going to be googling ten years from now, and they've got google cloud, you talking about. i think the core thesis is very much intact. you've just got these wildcards out there, one of which is this doj suit. and, you know, they have been found liable for monopoly abuses, so the question is what's the remedies, how long is it going to take. that's probably one, two, even three years, stu.

it's going to take a long time to play out. what i most worry strategically is if google is barred and enjoyed from doing these deals, what replaces that? if it's microsoft or apple vertically integrating into search, i the that's a real competitive issue for google -- i think that's a real competitive issue. i think it's an a.i. winner, so i'm less concerned about the a.i. competition, but this doj just kind of caps the stock in a way. 200 gives you some upside. there are other stocks i prefer in the group. stuart: amazon reports next week. do you still prefer shopify to amazon? >> no, no, amazon would be the temperature of my shopping list -- top of my shopping list. amazon's going to report on halloween too, that's never a good thing. i don't like that. we've all got trick or treating to do. but their cloud business should show acceleration, we should see expanding margins. the wildcard here is this, are these rocket costs that are going to start showing up.

probably not in the fourth quarter, but early next year and this big project that they've got called kuiper. the rest of the business, we think it's continues to strengthen. stuart: we've got it. mark mahaney, thanks very much, indeed. the market has officially opened. the dow has opened on the upside. nice gain there, about a third of 1, 150 points. 42, 500. and there's a predominance of green among the dow 30. a little bit of red but mostly green. the s&p 500 also opening to the upside, almost a half percentage if point there, strong. 9 and the nasdaq composite, where's that this morning? that is also higher, about two-thirds of 1. you've got a rally pretty much across the board. let me see big tech, please. what's happening there? led by amazon, meta, alphabet, microsoft. they're all up. apple is down just a fraction, down 17 cents. let's go with nvidia. morning, taylor. >> good morning. stuart: near a record high, i think. >> 14 if.71 is -- 14 if 3.71 is

the number we hit on monday, so you're close. i come to you bearing great facts for this friday. [laughter] stuart: that's good. >> year to date through yesterday, the company added $2.2 trillion in market value. the entire s&p 500 added $9 trillion. that means nvidia year to date is responsible for more than 5% of the entire market's 22% gain. that's why everyone has to the own that stock. stuart: does everyone have to own --,. >> i think absolutely, nvidia's the foundational name. i think it should be part of everyone's portfolio. tour tooth i've got cold feet getting into something that's gone up so much. >> okay, but the last time you and i had this conversation, nvidia was trading at $100, and i said you dip your toes, and look what it is now. [laughter] stuart: apple, new iphone sales, 16, i think, down ever so slightly in china. the stock is not reacting to it, but what's the problem with the iphone in china? >> down three-tenths of 1% in terms of sale, but the market

share with what a way is very -- huawei is very close. number three market share, 15.3%, and huawei sales in china jumped 42% in the third quarter. so you're starting to see, again, it's all about market share, number two, number three, apple and huawei competing. stuart: okay. do you still think we should all have a piece of apple? >> 100%. it's apple. it's changed the world. stuart: okay. then we have capare ri holdings -- capri holdings. absolutely tanking this morn, down 45%. i think i know what's going on. you tell us. >> so a district court ruled yesterday they cannot go through with the $8.5 billion merger with capri, yes, which owns coach, tapestry. thank you, kenny. so, again, this is a district judge who said that the anti-competitive market is not good, that they a want the keep these companies apart. both of these companies have responded and said there is no

more competitive market than sort of accessible luxury -- stuart: you know what this is about? it's about handbags. >> i know. stuart: lina khan at the ftc says, oh, these two get together, and you won't have competition in the handbag industry. >> $5,000 handbags, by the way. stuart: you've got to look out for the little guy, kenny, don't you know that? >> i hear ya. stuart: i've got to move on. skechers surging, record sale, right? >> yes. okay, so skechers, this is a fascinating story. they are highlighting this positive slip-on shoe, how comfortable shoes are. that message is gaining traction. if i will say there are some people on this set who are in their 60s, it is very nice to slip on your shoe and not have to bend over. when i was nine months pregnant, it's very nice to to be able to slip on your shoe. regardless of what you think, it's a message that is working and gaining traction. stuart: two points.

they're much ease questioner to get through the tsa lean at the airport, slip them on and off. number two, this kind of company with these shoes is taking market share from nike, and nike is way down. there you go. next one is deckers. what have you got? >> okay. so duckers -- the decker is the a good one. they make uggs and hokas. personally maybe not a fan. a lot of people i know, a lot of marathoners wear hokas. people love it. the shares are up 36 year to date, searching almost 10% in the market. hoka sales up 35%, ugg sales up 13% from last year so, again, it's gaining traction. stuart: would you buy that stock, deckers? >> i would not. but i'm the 60-year-old on the set that likes the skechers -- [laughter] >> i wasn't going to name names. stuart: i'm the 70-year-old -- [laughter] that really needs slip-on shoes. all right, let's go on. new york community bank plunging. they hosted another loss, i think. >> they did. a fourth quarter of losses.

commercial real estate exposure, right? you're looking at $280 million of losses on the bottom line in the third quarter, and the provision for some of those credit losses, again, to help with the consumer also went up to about $242 million, exceeding expectations of about $180 million. i do think though, remember, they acquired flag star bank, so on monday they start trading under flg, under the ticker flag star. stuart: okay. is it sending shivers through the banking community, that's the question. when a bank makes a serious los- >> he might know this better than i would. i think at lot of the concerns about the region alp community bank fears are behind us. this could be a one-off a, isolated, idiosyncratic story. stuart: djt is doing, what, it keeps going up. >>st the up 140% in the last month, stu. so there is an interesting story from the platform trader oasis. they said if donald trump win, the stock to goes to 70. if he loses, the stock goes to

20. this is a way people are betting on the election. stuart: yeah, that's the gamble. >> i agree. stuart: well, you're -- you think trump's beginning to win. >> i do think he's going the win. a month ago i wasn't so sure.. i'm a little bit more sure this time. stuart: so would you bet on djt? >> it's not a name that i own, but i think that's exactly what it's telling you, that people are using that as a way to bet, right? they're putting their money on trump. stuart: that makes sense. taylor, thanks very much, indeed. all good stuff. listen to what harris said when asked about expanding ask and packing the supreme court. watch this. >> the american people increasingly are losing confidence in the supreme court. i do believe that there should be some kind of reform of the court. stuart: wait a minute. do voters really want the supreme court to be packed? we'll ask former attorney general of the united states, matthew whitaker. hillary clinton linking trump's upcoming madison square garden rally to to one the nazis held in the same arena in 1939. oh, dear. >> trump actually reenacting the

madison square garden rally in 1939. please, open your eyes to the danger that this man poses to our country. stuart: you know, clinton's comparison is taking attacks on trump further than ever. charlie hurt's going to respond to it next. ♪ coa little dance, make a little love -- ♪ get down tonight temperature, get down tonight. ♪ do a little dance, make a little love -- ♪ get down tonight ♪ welcome to ameriprise. i'm sam morrison. my brother max recommended you. so, my best friend sophie says you've been a huge help. at ameriprise financial, more than 9 out of 10 of our clients are likely to recommend us.

madison square garden rally in 1939. president franklin roosevelt was appalled that neo-nazis, fascists in america were lining up to, essentially, prejudice their support -- pledge their support for the kind of government that they were seeing in germany. please, open your eyes to the danger that this man poses to our country. i tried the sound the alarm about him back many in 2020 the 16. people could not -- 2016. people could not imagine that he posed a danger. stuart: i don't think she's ever quite gotten over her loss in 2016, but that's not the story. charlie hurt with me this morning. you know, when you compare a candidate with hitler, you know you're getting desperate. is that right? >> yeah. it's the kind of the universal language for i'm losing, and the campaign is desperate. but i think you raise a really

important point, you know? if she is a you uniquely better person, and i think she really never has gotten every that loss x. she looks at this and she sees this movement, she's never been part of a popular movement, and she just assumes -- she tries the imagine what it is that people are interested in here, and they -- she immediately assigns the worst possible motive es. she goes from deplorable to full blown fascist nazis. she's talking about american voters, and the one thing i do think is kind of illuminating here, as stupid as it is, is that i think it does reveal she genuinely hates american voters, half of the american voting population. she despises them, and she thinks they're either deplorable or full blown fascists. stuart: hasn't come very far, has she? she hasn't changed very much. >> she needs to go back to therapy. stuart: a lot of the harris campaign is based on star power.

she's been bringing in stars from all over the place. springsteen, eminem, usher, lizzo, bob say main -- beyonce maybe today. does star power change minds or votes, charlie? >> i don't think that it does. i don't think you can point to a single example if where it has. you know, made a big difference in an election. and in an election like this, i think, quite frankly, what it does more than anything else is it actually sort of hurts the candidate because, a, it makes kamala harris, look kind of desperate, but also it reminds people how far out of touch they feel like she is from their lives. and when people are voting, as i think they are this time, for pocketbook issues, they're voting because inflation is bad, they see what's going on at the border, they don't like the crime in their neighborhoods and they see her running around with these rock stars, however ridiculous you may think some of them are, it creates a keeper cavern between you, and the voter, and her, the candidate

who is trying to claim that she cares about your issues and is going to do something for you. i think it's, quite frankly, self-defeating, actually. stuart: i'd rather have elon musk on my side than an entertainer. >> yeah. he's actually fixed problems. stuart: he does, and he's got $270 billion as well which is pretty good, i would say. charlie hurt, great to see you on a friday morning. >> thanks, stu. stuart: the attorney general of missouri has launched an investigation into google. madison, what's he looking for, and is this probe any different from all the other probes that have gone into google in -- google? >> it is different. he's looking into whether google suppressed conservative speech. he announced the investigation on thursday, again, for allegedly suppressing conservative speech during the election cycle. so the subpoena, they would subpoena the tech giant to investigate the algorithms and how conservative speech is potentially de-emphasized by

showing up on later search pages. you have to scroll through. bailey is alleging that google is, quote, waging a war on the democratic process saying to fox business, quote, we have reason to believe that, google is manipulating their search results to de-emphasize information about the trump campaign prior to election day. bailey wants to put pressure on the company ahead of the election. obviously, you wouldn't get any if results before november 5th, but it does send a message at a minimum the google. stuart: did they -- >> look what mark zuckerberg said. he said they put pressure on him, so it's not surprising that they would put pressure on google or that google would, you know, program the algorithms to, in fact, do that, right? >> i mean -- >> i fully believe that's true. >> i think question everything because we have seen some issues with social media companies -- >> 100%. >> and we've done stories on a.i. which, again, those a algorithm 'ems are a little more difficult, but there does seem to be a preference towards maybe the left when it comes to search

engines and results. stuart: yeah -- >> 100%. >> -- i think that's been proven. thanks, everyone. let's move on. we have got the dow industrials at this moment up 116 of point concern 166 points. we like that. coming up, kamala harris demonizing trump and abortion. is that enough to turn the tide? which is now running against her in is it a platform worthy of the presidency? it seems pretty thin the me. eleven days til the vote, and the momentum is still with trump. that's my take, top of the hour. rising housing costs, main concern for voters especially in swing states. the housing crisis could play a part in deciding who wins the white house. the full story, a full report on that coming up next. ♪ -- and i woke up in love. ♪ then i woke up in love ♪

well. particularly in swing states. so renters in those swing states on average earn 17% less than they need to afford the typical apartment. so they are behind the 8-ball there. rents stay high because it's hard and expensive to get into a home. take a look at this. the median home sale price in arizona in 2020 was $297,000. in september of this year it was $443,000. in that time, that means prices have gone up nearly $150,000 for a home. michigan has also seen a big runup from $184,000 to now $266,000 for your median home there. both campaigns are focusing on this issue because it is temperature of mind for voters. harris is promising that $25,000 for first-time home buyers the help with down at the same times pushing a plan to build 3 million new housing units in 4 years. although we have not gotten details on how she would exactly get that done.

trump has said he will create tax incentives for home buyers and builders and cut unnecessary red tape to allow for building, also opening up federal land to make more land available for residential construction. he also pushes that by reducing inflation and stopping illegal immigration, it will help with housing availability and will also lower housing costs. i mean, look no further than the latest home sales to also understand how bad things are. sales of existing homes in the u.s. are on track to be the worst that we've seen since 1995. prices are high, mortgage rates are high and continue to go higher again despite cutting rates back. so, yeah, it's really bad in the housing market, and voters are feeling it. stuart: however, kenny, you're a florida guy -- >> i am. stuart: have you started to see home prices actually come down? >> not along the water, but when you go inland a little bit, right in they are way overbuilding in the port st. lucie, stuart area.

so there's pressure on the housing prices, and you're actually starting to see the prices tick lower. the fact that mortgage rates are actually ticking up after the fed cut rates a month ago is very also concerning for a lot of home buyers. stuart: i just don't see how home prices could actually come down that much. >> when they overbuilt -- like in port st. lucie, they overbuilt. right? the infrastructure can't handle it. stuart: that's a e especial case. >> agreed. >> we really do need more houses to come on line, and we do need mortgage rates the go down. stuart: i'm not sure how we're going to get more houses built because local regulation will just not let you build very early. >> and i don't know how you're going to get mortgage rates to come down if the bond market is telling us it sees inflation. >> so i'll never own a home. great. [laughter] stuart: kenny, thanks very much for staying with us. >> pleasure to to be here. stuart: nasdaq up 200 points. have a look at the dow winners

and hillary clinton accuse trump of reenacting the infamous nazi rally at madison square garden of 1939. how about that? steveton on that next. no, or not next, he's at the top of the 1 11:00 hour. the 10:00 hour is next. ..
