stuart: as you see for the first time in a long long time we are showing you right outside our studio 6 avenue manhattan new york city and it is raining. haven't seen that in months. we need it. many of us are pleased to see it but it is raining at long last. 10:00 eastern straight to the money. a mixed market. we open higher across the board. we are lower on the nasdaq to the tune of 88 points, mixed market. 10 year treasury yield well below 4.5%, down 438, price of oil not doing much today, $69 a barrel, bitcoin has had a series of new highs, back to $97,032 a coin. realtors, heads up pulleys. very important numbers for you. existing home sales and the number is?

lauren: the number is 3. 96 million units sold on a seasonally adjusted annual basis. a lot of positivity from the national association of realtors. they say the worst of the downturn could be over. inventory is up, and transactions are up. times prices, 407,200, four% year-over-year median price. it is above, it is up 16 months in a row. stuart: existing home sales up 3%. thanks very much. now this. how many times have voters been told the politician will chop waste and fraud out of the government and how many times as waste and fraud actually been cut, you know the story, lots of promises, very few are kept until now. musk and vivek ramaswamy have a plan and it is spelled out in today's wall street journal,

the doge plan to reform government, this time around there is a real opportunity to cut regulations that impose so much cost on all of us, their plan rests on two recent supreme court rulings, one says federal agencies cannot have rules on policy unless congress says it is okay. bureaucrats can't make the law. a second decision says federal courts cannot be overruled by agents or bureaucrats, bureaucrats can't make law. taken together they open the door to serious redtape reductions. the department of government efficiency will make a list of cutable regulations and give the list to donald trump who will use executive action to put a hold on enforcing these rules, stand down, then consider if the rules should be abolished. simple and straightforward on the basis of the law. the opposition will be intense. government agencies are unionized, already unhappy about being told to get back to the office.

the laws, just really trying to find ways to make rules without votes. there will be a few politicians who don't want to see their pet projects canceled but we are dealing with something new in politics which a businessman president with a solid mandate for reform and two highly successful entrepreneurs who know how to get things done. they write this. we are doing things differently. we will serve as outside volunteers, not federal officials or employees. we won't just write reports or cut ribbons, we will cut costs. the department of government efficiency could be the most important element in the trump revolution. second hour of varney just getting started. ben domenech is with me this

morning, i'm saying doge is the most important part of trump's no administration. am i going too far? >> only in the sense that the national security side of things, the border et cetera is probably paramount in terms of the list of issues but when it comes to domestic reform i think you are right. there has been so much effort over the years to have various commissions that looked at trying to find ways to go after the waste, fraud and abuse we are all familiar with the but we've gone through a period in which doors were blown off in terms of the level of fraud we saw, so much money flowing out of the biden administration in the wake of the covid pandemic as you saw so many flows that were not properly authorized or overseen properly with money going to entities that had already been flagged by the government as being places the did not deserve to receive any kind of funding, the simple fact is they are coming and at

a moment when the level of fraud and waste is higher than it has ever been and that is something that gives us hope that some outside voices will have his ear, have his mantra to look after these things and be heard by him as opposed to just being viewed as one more thing to check the box of we tried, and move on. waste and fraud is undefeated in the history of washington dc and i'm very happy there is at least something now to take on. stuart: well put. i want you to listen to msnbc's joy read meltdown over donald trump's cabinet picks. role it. >> this amount of effort exerted on individuals who are exceptional in their lack of qualifications, you have to openly wonder what they promised trump and what he promised to them in return. you hire individuals who have issues that can only be

resolved by a powerful king and that that king, donald trump, gets permanent loyalty and obedience in return which involves destroying any impartial federal system and twisting it in his favor and that of his favorite friends and corporations. stuart: has she got a point? i scratch your back you scratch mine? >> absolutely not. this is absurd. the idea that trump can't appoint loyalists, i saw president biden appointing a bunch of people who weren't going to be loyal to him, the opposite. you had people in the last administration xavier becerra at hhs with no background whatsoever, he was former california attorney general to essentially be political hatchet man for the bureaucracies they represented, let the bureaucrats run free, do what they want and your job is to fight it out in the courts and they were not very good at that. we saw the failure of our

hundred a mayorkas but what we have here is a group of people coming together with strong communication skills, all familiar with the subject matter they are dealing with and while you can say many of them have not run major department of things of that nature, this mandate was for outside voices, a lot of people are going to be new and shake up the system and that requires you picking people who aren't beholden to an end thinking about which board they are going to when they are done working for the american people. blue one trump knows what he wants and knows how to get it, thank you for joining us. i know we will see you again. we told you how donald trump's famous dance moves are taking over the sports world. what's the nfl saying about these celebrations? >> no issue with the salvatori dance such as what took place sunday were the previous week with the 49ers on november 10th. it is up to the networks to cover them as they see fit. it is true the nfl does not

allow players to promote political opinions, you can't wear a maga hat but it does not consider the dance to be a political up in your political statement and issued no directive to cbs, nbc or amazon about how they should cover it so they are okay with it. stuart: thanks. back to the markets please. a mixed picture. we started in the green but not now. the dow was up 70 but the nasdaq down 165 points. look at nvidia. we have them going to one hundred $52 a share a few moments ago, now we are back down to one hundred 43. michael lee joins us this morning, you think nvidia is going to $200 a share. when? >> i think it is worth that now. as adam johnson was saying in the last hour, close to $5 earnings for the next 12 months, gave historical multiple for this company, 35 to 40.

that puts you between one hundred 75, $200, right now. not over the next 12 months, right now because the next quarter the earnings for the next 12 months will probably be higher than $5. i think this was an unbelievable quarter for them. when you think of it from a conception standpoint, ai is about crunching data and language models. these models will get bigger and more complex, you will need more chips. this is not going to stop. it on an exponential path. i think this is an unbelievable company situated for this moment in history. stuart: tell me about bitcoin, $97 a coin early this morning, 96-7 right now. where too from here? >> i think 200,000 is the near-term price target. bitcoin over the next 6 to 9 months, triple the previous cycle once you break the cycle

high in 18 months that was earlier this year. that is where we end up. if you think of it from a logical standpoint. the regulatory framework around bitcoin has done a complete 180. the prior administration hated bitcoin because it's about individual liberty, financial freedom and reducing the government's ability to control you. this administration is embracing it. they will have a crypto presence in thite house, truth social is buying a crypto exchange from the company that owns the stock exchange. all signs are pointing to go for crypto with the exception of government efficiency. we stop printing so much money i wonder how that could work out. if there's a base below this crypto now. a clear double from here.

we when you were right on nvidia and have been pretty good on bitcoin as well. thanks for joining us, see you again soon. looking at the movers. take a look at supermicrobe. lauren: it's an ai server is about make up with accounting problems, they gotta shout out from nvidia last night, a reliable partner. there is a concentration of customers for nvidia and if supermicro is one of them. stuart: pin? >> the owner of the cheaper e-commerce site, down on the report card, their low prices did not persuade enough cost-conscious shoppers to spend and stock is down 7%. stuart: tell me about delta airlines and that is again. lauren: they are going to 80 and the ceo calls trump's second term a breath of fresh air on deregulation. the white house tried to get rid of junk fees, these are

ways airlines make money. stuart: thanks very much. coming up, the view spirals out of control over school choice. >> participating in private schools. >> make a conversation. >> because i have children as i listen. >> i believe if you were to go to public school. stuart: right up until the commercial break. the fbi arrested a man accused of plotting an attack on the new york stock exchange. we will tell you his motives. is europe preparing for world war iii? top-secret german documents reveal how they would deploy 800,000 troops including americans if russia invades nato. we deal with that next. eir weah the same way, you have... the fearless investor. the type a cpa.

stuart: ukraine says russia has launched a ballistic missile into that country, into ukraine. >> overnight russia launched an intercontinental ballistic missile into ukraine targeting a large-scale weapon was used, it raises questions about the message russia is looking to send since icbms can carry nuclear weapons. russia has not publicly commented on the strike or additional hypersonic cruise missiles they flown into ukraine. ukraine forces target deeper into russia using us and british supplied long-range missiles. they have been seen as crossing

a and officials in kyiv are bracing for more tax. we when germany has a plan to deploy 800,000 nato troops into ukraine if russia invades nato country. if i got that right? if russia invades nato country germany deploy center to thousand troops including americans into ukraine? that sounds like they are planning for world war iii. >> does. a weird signal to send this point. they would react but russia isn't poised to invade any nato country. as bad as russia has been they've only been able to occupy lands that are mostly ethnically russian that are investment to russia. they have been able to get to give. the idea they will be in warsaw from tomorrow in berlin the day after and take the baltics's outlandish. there' s no real threat of that. stuart: but nato countries like germany should have a plan just

in case because you never quite know what is going on. >> that's right. the ballistic missile that was fired was probably a message from moscow that they are really really upset the us and british long-range weapons are being used inside russia. they use that, we provide the targeting and they think perhaps erroneously that us officers are involved in the command and control of those weapons but that's probably a message to the german chancellor that germany construct berlin directly if needed and mentioned the possibility of using nuclear weapons if the other side doesn't so this is a bit of posturing ahead of the trump administration. stuart: did you see this? the international, a court issued an arrest warrant for benjamin netanyahu and his former defense secretary. what's with that? >> it shows how ridiculous this

court is and how morally retarded it is that it has no sense of who is doing what. is real is a nation that was attacked by jihadists, a number of people per capita killed if it were in america would be in the tens of thousands. if you did a comparison, when has the international, court been of any use aside from harassing western democracies. stuart: you are dismissing a lot of this stuff here, international criminal court, irrelevant, third world war, all just talk. >> i would say i think so. russia really really is bad. we can say that that's ridiculous, they started this war but it is nonetheless important to understand there's always the slight chance they could decide to use nuclear weapons. it's unlikely, that would've turned the chinese and indians and brazilian to of been on their side or at least not against them, turn them against them. i wouldn't put the probability at 0 but it's important to

understand it's going to be difficult for trump to get a deal. we assume flatware put wants to end this more as much as everyone else does. that's not necessarily true since vladimir putin has been making progress but maybe he can get a deal. stuart: we shall see. thank you. america his vetoed a resolution from the un security council for a cease-fire in gaza. why did america reject it? >> because there's no path for releasing the one hundred hostages still being held by hamas. the us was the only member of that 15 member united nations security council to vote against the cease-fire. it does show our support for israel. stuart: release the hostages. come on. lauren: that is what the cease-fire deal depends on. there's more support for the international community for palestine now. stuart: coming up, the founder

of nvidia and the ceo of nvidia says ai can do a lot of our work. >> ai can do a lot of our tasks but they can't do one hundred% of our jobs. what's very likely is a i will do 20, 30, 40%, one hundred% of the jobs in the world. stuart: he was speaking exclusively on the claim and count down. look who is in the studio, liz claman. ♪

a google executive is calling the government's proposal extreme adding, quote, the doj chose to push a radical interventionist agenda that would harm americans and america's global technology leadership. it would -- beyond search the people love and find helpful in their everyday lives. the expert say this revenue the government is seeking in the sale of chrome is considered the most extreme possible solution to this, the more middle of the road approach would be allowing news her stitches what browsers are in the front instead of making chrome the default. a lot of eyes on this case because we have a lot of antitrust actions still pending. apple, amazon and meta art targets. how the courts proceed could set the tone moving forward even under a potential trump administration. it is not sure he will change course. stuart: i am sure he would change course. >> reporter: course on everybody else.

federal officials just arrested a homeless man in florida for planning an attack on the stock exchange. what is this about? >>'s plan was to set up a bomb outside the stock exchange after a month long undercover investigation by the fbi, he has been charged with trying to use an expose of device to damage a building. he had desires to join an extremist group and carry out violent attacks. investigators searched a storage unit used by him and it was full of bombmaking sketches, watches with timers and electronic circuit boards that could be used to make explosive devices but he didn't have any explosive material himself. he was relying on others for that and they turned out to be undercover agents. last month he told the undercover agent he wanted to detonate the bomb the week before thanks giving at the stock exchange. he could not make up his mind whether or not he felt okay hurting people, sometimes he

was comfortable with it, the times he wanted to detonate the bomb at 2:00 a.m. . he made a recording of his demands in which he said, quote, i feel like usama bin laden. scary stuff. stuart: thanks. nvidia's chief executive, very famous guy, jensen wong will join "the claman countdown" for an exclusive interview at 3 p.m. at 3:00 pm eastern today. listen to what he said about artificial intelligence taking jobs from humans. role it. >> ai can do a lot of our tasks but they can't do 100% of our jobs. that the big idea. the idea that ai would somehow do 100% of somebody's job is very unlikely and impractical any time on the horizon. what's very likely is that ai will do 20%, 30%, 40% of one

hundred% of the jobs in the world. what that means is ai is going to revolutionize and transform everybody's jobs and it's really important that everybody should learn how to use a high. they are not going to lose their jobs to ai, they are going to lose their jobs to someone who uses ai. stuart: that is important. look who is here, liz claman secured that exclusive interview and joins me in on now in new york city. explain that one again to me. liz: he is saying get on the ai bandwagon because, is he talking his book because he is of the chips he makes to run this and they are so far ahead, you have seen every company in the world, whether they are technology company or not hop on the ai bandwagon and it is the evolution and partly revolution of what is happening and you've got to figure nvidia

united states is so far ahead because jensen and company got this idea many years ago to transition to artificial intelligence and they are the ones who hold the candle. i would like to say it is almost as if they are the flashlight everybody wants after a category 5 hurricane when electricity is out for a month. the flashlight is anywhere from $40,000 to millions. stuart: that's a good one. the company has gained in value over $2 trillion a year. they are making somewhere in the neighborhood of $17 billion profit in a quarter. what did they do? >> they went from $13 billion in sales a year ago to 35, they are taking that money, putting it back into the business because they can't fill these orders fast enough. how are they doing it? this is an interesting piece that we will talk about on "the claman countdown". they are listing the help of tens of thousands of startups. almost like they created a

musk and vivek ramaswamy argue donald trump will be able to drastically reduce government spending through executive action alone. they outlined plans to reduce federal regulations, shrink the number of employees who work for the government and end overspending by taking aim, saying congress never authorized or is being used in ways congress never intended. could mean cuts to the corporation for public broadcasting which funds public radio and tv and cuts to international organizations including planned parenthood. additionally musk and vivek ramaswamy make the case they could reduce the federal workforce by forcing government workers back to the office 5 days a week which they say would lead many of them to quit and cutting regulations. not only are fewer employees are required to enforce fewer regulations but the agency would produce fewer regulations

this is our new drone, it can fly in an electronic warfare environment in the presence of jamming, it can fly gps, it's rugged, reliable and modular and it is made right here in utah in the factory behind me. i believe it's the most advanced drone in the world and the u.s. army actually agrees. stuart: how much does it cost. >> one system goes for $45,000 and that includes two drones and one controller. this week, our company is the official winner of the army at short range reconnaissance program beating out boeing and lockheed martin. stuart: it is -- okay. okay. it doesn't shoot anything or anybody, does it? just looks at, that's all it does. >> the base configuration of the drone is designed for intelligence and reconnaissance but it can be outfitted with secondary payloads so they can use it for whatever they need.

stuart: what about delivery? >> we are starting delivery early next year, thousands of drones, worth $250 million. it's a huge portion of market combined with other contracts we think are about to hit. because of this army program i think our stock is undervalued. stuart: careful with that, don't want to start talking about your stock price on a day like this. thanks for joining us. we appreciate it and good luck with the drones. josé ibarra has been sentenced to life in prison without parole for the murder of georgia nursing student laken riley. what is donald trump saying about this? >> the murder should never been able to happen in the safety of our communities must be the top priority so trump took to truth social after the verdict and said in part, quote, the illegal who killed lake n riley was found guilty on all counts for this horrific crime, we love you and our hearts will always be with you.

after an abysmal 2024 in terms of the sales. also inventory of homes, we talked about that in the past, up 19% year-over-year so people getting their houses on the market which is a good thing because you would think that supply would bring down prices but this 20% increase in supply is just putting fuel in the marketplace so buyers can find homes to buy. stuart: next one. is now the best time to buy a home? i've seen some reports, get in now because now is the best time, would you agree with that? >> i dismiss the notion of market timing when it comes to buying a home especially in a supply constrained market. if you need one and you need to buy one and you find one that is available and fits your needs just by it. it is not something like a

stock or bond that' s a liquid asset and i think people should do that when they are ready. interest-rate environment is what it is and it is not getting better anytime soon but not getting any worse. stuart: the median price for these homes that were sold is $407,200 and still going up. when if ever will prices come down? >> the only way to drive down prices is to dump an abundance of new inventory on the market because i don't think existing inventory will grow that dramatically and there is too many impediments for homebuilders, i don't see that problem being solved anytime soon. stuart: reading between the lines it sounds kind of the housing industry, the housing market is not going very far in the near future, is it? >> i think the homebuilders are

going to grind out what they can, realtors have to accept that this is the volume around 4 million existing homes and for buyers if you see something, interest rates aren't changing so if you see something jump on it, waiting for prices to come down could be a fool's errant. stuart: i remember the good old days, 2005, 2006, selling in the region of 5, 6 million homes on an annual basis back in the day. stuart: back in the day during covid we were selling 6.5 million homes but interestingly leading up to the financial crisis the difference between then and now, we had 14 months supply of homes on the market. 14 months compared to a little over four months right now. almost a year's more worth of supply, that's because there were so many incentives at the time for builders to build that don't exist today. stuart: i wish we could report a more interesting and positive

outcome for the housing industry but i don't think it is there just yet. >> hopefully i am interesting. the report may not be but hopefully i'm interesting. stuart: you brighten up our lives. mitch rachelle, try to have a good weekend a good weekend, see you soon. check the big board, now we are up 230 points. half of 1%. look at the dow winners, see why we are up 200 points, salesforce is up 3.8%. ibm is up nearly 2%. goldman one. 8%. home depot is up. caterpillar caterpillars up. the s&p 500. for the winners there? deare and company, supermicro company up 6%. car max, arista networks, exxon enterprise is up 4%, all better. the nasdaq composite, mongo data dog, constellation energy,

z scale are up big time. the 10 year treasury yield is coming down a little. 440 is the yield. the price of gold 2600 $94 an ounce. bitcoin, a high of 97,000, backed off a little to 96-5 as we speak. not much change for the price of oil at $70 a barrel, natural gas $2. it has gone straight up. big gain, 7% higher at 343. steve hilton on the failing green agenda. i ohio congressman jim jordan on democrats trying to release the gates report. voters overwhelmingly rejecting dei policies. texas's land commissioner on the state offering trump a thousand acres for deportation facilities. the 11:00 hour of "varney and
