♪ money can't buy me love. ♪ can't buy me love -- stuart: okay. let's get on with it. little beatles, why not in and the sun is shining in new york city. 11:00 eastern time, tuesday, april 1st -- april 1st. there have been no april fools jokes thus far on the program. check the markets, lenity of green, dow's off 60, i've got it. but nasdaq is up 70 points. how about big tech in earlier they were all a down. now they're almost all up. alphabet, microsoft, amazon, apple up, but nvidia down all of 9 cents. the yield on the 10-year treasury coming in right now at 4.16 and thousand this. and now this. it's been five months since donald trump hammered kamala harris to win his sect -- second term as president. the democrats are left shellshocked.

no leader, no new policies. maureen dowd says the democrats are in a coma, her words. [laughter] when a new york times columnist says something like that, you know the party is in trouble. dowd is a trump hater, but she's clearly looking at the democrats with a jaundiced eye, so to speak. we've been saying this for years, the democrats are no fun. they're always complaining. there's always something wrong. america's always a bad place. dowd told bill maher the democrats became, and i'm quoting now, a suffocatinger sew that where you just couldn't say or do anything that wasn't to be criticized. she's no fan of woke k and she told bill maher that the woke era for democrats was not over. i guess they haven't figured out that woke is about as dated as an eight track tape. an exact of playing to yesterday's themes is the remake of snow white. maher and dowd had something to say about that too. the movie does not use dwarf

actors. disney used computer-generated imagery, are cgi, instead. as maher said, disney's progressive job creation does not apply to dwarves. no romantic love with prince charming, oh, no. the new snow white is not into romanticic clof -- love, certainly not, and the act actor who plays snow white thinks a hamas is just fine. the movie is a flop. in the face of the trump revolution, the democrats are so yesterday. when you've lost a leading columnist from "the new york times", you're floundering. new york -- sorry, the third hour of "varney" starts now. ♪ stuart: jimmy failla with me this morning. >> how about it? [laughter] stuart: will the democrats truly abandon their woke agenda. >> no, i think they should lean

in further -- [laughter] they should just nominate snow white and the zen genders. they should -- seven genders. they should take that girl and make her the face of the party because she is, for all intents and purposes. when you think about the dwarf thing you were alluding to, we're not going to cast dwarves in this movie out of support for their community. nothing signals the support for people like refusing to hire them, you know? there's not a lot of daughter work out there. there's know white and gutfeld's show, that's pretty much it hawaii. [laughter] so the idea that they're going to abandon those people are everything that's wrong with the democratic party. this is their bigger issue. you know this. in politics, you're trying to cater to the preferences of the customer. if you take it to my world as a new york city cab driver, where people get into my ca cac and tell me where to go -- cab and tell me where to go, i go there. [laughter] that's their problem, they're not listening to anybody but themselves. stuart: i've got one for you --

>> let's do do it. stuart: members of congress who are, quote, strangely wealthy. watch. >> this, there's a rot of strangely wealthy -- a lot of strangely wealthy the members of congress. [laughter] where i just can't -- i'm trying to connect the dots of how kiddied they become rich while -- how did they become rich, get $20 million if they're earning $200,000 a year? sounds -- nobody can egg plain that. explain that. >> [inaudible] >> yeah. we're going to try to figure it out. and certainly stop it from happening. stuart: he's not issuing any names yet, but that sure sounded like a dig at nancy pelosi. >> oh, for sure. and he probably has to be pretty confident in his ability to live on mars at this point if you're going to keep alienating special interest, corrupt politicians like he is, but i love him for it. how could anyone with a straight face knowing we take in more

money in tax revenue than any government in history and we're $36 trillion in debt not wanting someone looking into that? honestly. if you think he's the problem, we should strand you in space next because you're no use down here. stuart: strand you in space? >> all the anti-dogers, they'll get an interview with bill themmer when day come back. -- bill hemmer. stuart: that was an interesting interview. they came back in good shape, it seems to me. >> they did nine months in space and look good. do you know how much makeup they had to do -- stuart: the mental health, think about that, up there for9 9, almost 10 months up there. >> yeah. you have to have some experience of living in new york to be able to to exist in a 13 square foot space station, because in new york, that's a two-bedroom -- stuart: new york is astronaut school. >> who knew? stuart: we'll be watching "fox

from the big tech companies. what are you looking for? >> so meaning not the ceos or the people running the individual companies, but for the market to go back to new highs which i guarantee you it will, for the market, guarantee, to go back to new highs we need strong companies that are showing strong growth, that are going to lead the market to new highs. that's not going to come from the companies that are leading the market recently, that's going to come from big with tech. stuart: microsoft is at 380. the high is about 4500. you think in my lifetime -- 450. do you think we'll get back there the? >> yes. it'll be at new highs before the end of the year. microsoft will be at new highs -- stuart: oh, murphy, you're in trouble. >> write it down. stuart: you're on tape. microsoft will be at a new high by the end of this year. >> end of 2025 25. stuart: moving on, why are you watching tesla?

>> tesla's been kind of a proxy for the selloff in the market. again, it had rallied post-trump's election win, and then as tesla sold off and all the negative news came in, tesla kind of led the market lower. so came all the way down to 220, 222, rallied back up and now it's starting to move hire on, again, not great reports out of -- deliveries. it's not great news fundamentally on the company, and the stock moves higher on that news. that's something you want to watch for. tesla, again, if you believe in what the company does and what they're going to continue to do, you're not worried about elon musk being in the white house for too long of a period of time. you're not going to worry about people i blowing up or scratching teslas. you're going to realize this is a technology company that's changing the way auto companies, technology companies work, and tesla will be back higher. stuart: all right. you are locked in to me for the next hour. >> deal. stuart: stay there, please. lauren's look at some of the

stuart: as you can see, the market really has come back quite a lot are. we're now all in the green across the board there. this could have something to do with it, canada's prime minister, that would be carney, he says trade minister leblanc is having regular talks with commerce secretary how'd lutnick. he says -- howard lutnick. canada will put in retaliatory measures against the u.s. if there are additional measures against canada tomorrow. they're going to be very deliberate in terms of the measures they take to fight for canada and that canada will not disadvantage canadian producers and workers relative to american workers. you got all of that? they're talking, and that? in many circles is considered positive. we got it. this is coming at us as well, attorney general pam bondi has told prosecutors to seek the death penalty for luigi mangione, the man accused of killing united health care ceo brian thompson. china just revealed plans for a commercial jetta will fly faster than the speed of sound.

grady trimble has the story. how does this compare to the concord, grade grady? >> it's going to be quieter and fly farther than the concord according to the research paper outlining this project. china says the sonic boom from the superseasonnic c-949 as they're calling it, will make 95% less sound than the concord, it'll have more range, 6800 miles total, and it'll fly around 28-48 passengers at a time compared to the concord's 100-seat capacity. it is important to note though right now this is only a proposal. there's just one rendering of it, basically. china has yet to build an actual supersonic plane unlike here in the united states where boom supersonic became the first private company to develop a plane that the flies faster than the speed of sound without the help of a government. the company aims to bring supersonic commercial flight back within the next five years

or so. that's much quicker than china's timeline. ceo blake shoal tells me the threat from china is real though especially if the federal government here doesn't do away with regulations that could hinder progress. >> we're ahead in the u.s. at boom we have built and flown the first supersonic airliner prototype since 1969. we demonstrated we can do it without a sonic boom. we have to turn that into a commercial product. importantly, with we have to clear out the 50-year-old red tape that's held flight back. we've got a ban on supersonic flight over land in the u.s., something china doesn't have to deal with. >> reporter: you might have noticed the backdrop, shoal is in d.c. this week meeting with officials at the white house, lawmakers on the hill advocating for them to do away with that ban. he says it could be key to keeping the upper hand over china. stu? stuart: grady, thank you. russia says peace talks with the u.s. are ongoing even though trump claims he's very angry with putin.

watch. >> so i think he's going to live up to what he told me, and i think he's going to fulfill his part of the deal. now, then you have zelenskyy and, hopefully, he's going to live up. i see he's trying to renegotiate the rare earth. stuart: national security analyst rebeccah heinrichs joins me now. will sanctions bring russia to the table in. >> hi, stuart. well, i think it's important to know that president trump -- he did threaten, or he at least said he is beginning to get frustrated with putin because putin is now demanding that that zelenskyy be removed from if office, that there be another government in place. and that's when president trump head the threat that you're alluding to, maybe we'll do secondary sanctions. cut off russian oil exports to dry up the war machine. and that means it's going to hit two big countries, india and china, who have not participated in the anti-russia sanctions put on by the united states. stuart: so the sanction threat is a serious threat.

do you think it will bring putin back to the table? >> i think it's the only way you're going to get putin to the table, is going to be dragging him there by making it incredibly painful for him. and you can do that through military threats, which president trump obviously does not want to do yet, a although he has not ruled it off the table, to rush more weapons into ukraine to give them more capabilities. the other lever, of course, is always going to be sanctions. make it economically very difficult for russia to continue to fund the war effort. and that's why i think president trump's threats are incredibly credible, stuart. stuart: president trump promised to continue air strikes against houthi rebel this they stop attacking ships in the red sea. he warned the real pain is yet to come, that's his words, the real pain is yet to come. does that mean that maybe we're moving closer to an attack on iran which is the state sponsor of the houthis? >> well, it's very interesting that president trump, secretary

of defense hegseth, national security advisor mike waltz, think all connect the houthi threat to iran which is significant. they're rightly saying that iran is the head of the dragon, iran is the one that continues to supply the weapons to the houthis. and so they're warning if the houthis don't stop, then things are going to get much worse. this is a lot of firepower, stuart, american firepower brought to the region that's really, i think, foreboding for the iran regime. iran is as a weak as a it's been in years because the israelis took out their air defense systems. so if the iranians do not heed this threat, i do think it is credible that the united states collaborating with the israelis could conduct a strike against the iran regime. stuart: fascinating. israel says it's going to occupy 25 of the gaza strip -- 25%, over the next 2-3 weeks, part of their maximum pressure campaign to get hamas to release lease the hostages. is israel in an expansionist mode at the moment?

>> i would say that they're just, they're cranking up the pressure, stuart, you know? the united states is clearly focused on getting our one live hostage out, edan can alexander from new jersey, and that's a part of the deal. the israelis want the rest of their hostages out, especially, of course, the living ones but even the bodies of the deceased. and that has understands that as soon as they give them up, you know, they know that's the end of their existence. but i think they're out of choices here. and so israel has to do something else to turn up the heat, so i think they're right to do so. they're growing the buffer zone between the israelis state and, of course, where hamas continues to hunker down among those civilians to create a really difficult situation for the israelis. stuart: rebeccah heinrichs, thank you very much for your analysis, it's value to us. see you soon. >> thanks, stuart. stuart: defense secretary hegseth has ordered a complete overhaul of u.s. military standards. ashley are, this is just for

combat roles, right? >> yes. hegseth has issued a memo ordering men is women to meet the same physical fitness requirements if they want to serve in combat roles but adding that the pent gotten -- pentagon has allowed standards to slide. listen. >> for far too long, we allowed standards to slip and different standards for men and women this combat arms mos s and jobs. that's not acceptable. we need to have the same standard, male or female, in our combat roles to ensure our men and women who are under our leaders or in those formations have the best with possible leaders and the highest possible standards that are not if based at all on your sex. >> now, service secretaries have 60 days to submit their proposed combat role standards to mr. hegseth, and is military branches will then be required to implement those changes within six months. stu. stuart: all right, ashley,

thanks very much, indeed. coming up tomorrow, president trump will finally veal his tariff plan. watch -- reveal his tariff plan. >> we help everybody, and they don't help us. i really -- the term i like best, probably, is the liberation of america. it's a liberation of this country. stuart: we are told that trump still doesn't have a definite plan, but we just reported that that canadian prime minister -- trade minister, rather, leblanc, is having regular talks with our commerce secretary. more from the white house coming at you next. and the senate stalling on how much they can reduce spending while cutting taxes. today want to advance trump's tax -- they want to advance trump's tax agenda as soon as possible. can they do both? we'll ask missouri congressman jason smith, house ways and means committee guy, he's next. ♪ ♪

stuart: i know. [laughter] >> coreweave is big tech that raised a lot of money there venture capital, and they came public yesterday -- sorry, friday. $40 a share. but that's down, stuart. the indications were $47-55 when they were trying to go public. there wasn't a lot of demand, weakness in the tech sector. came out of 40, dropped down to 36, now you're seeing it rally today. this is a company that's building data centers and then leasing the power for artificial intelligence. so a lot of upside here. it's early, and if someone wanted the get in lower than where the private markets were or where the pricing was -- stuart: 41. okay. i know you like blackstone. help me out. i own it. i've owned it for a number of years. on your recommendation, by the way. >> thank you. stuart: is it going higher? >> it's going much higher. what's happening with blackstone, so it sold off as the market came down, but as you're seeing more private companies go public, that plays right into blackstone's hands. that's how blackstone's going to

continue to generate the earnings they have been historically. remember, this stock was almost $200 a share? blackstone is set up right now, i think, to get above that 150 level, and then it'll pick up some speed. i wouldn't worry about blackstone at all, it's a screaming buy here. stuart: okay. [laughter] thank you very much, mike murphy. now this, tomorrow is president trump's liberation day. sources tell fox business he's still deciding between multiple plans for these reciprocal tariffs. edward lawrence at with the white house. what do we know about these plans, edward? >> reporter: we don't know much about them. the plans have been very secret into what the president is deciding between. there's been some leaks here there and but nothing defendtive on what these lands -- plans are, and his aides were sating there were multiple plans on his desk. late last night, president trump said he has settled on a plan. listen to this. >> we talk about it a lot, and we want to do what's right for the country and even the world. it affects the world, not just

this country. this has been the biggie bank for the entire -- piggybank for the entire world. >> reporter: president trump not revealing exactly what the plan is yet, but we know the tariffs will not be at the same level as other countries tariff us. but the goal for president trump, three threefold. one, to raise revenue the afor his tax cuts, two, to get other countries to mutually lower tariffs to allow u.s. companies to expand globally and, three, to protect seven sectors in the u.s. so they will never go away. you see them there. in all, the president says there will be no exemptions for farmers or other sectors. many market experts believe uncertainty is causing these issues. >> if the policies and the tariffs specifically are articulated in a very clear way and there's some definition around what those numbers are ask what, you know, which countries will be the targets, perhaps it's all of the countries, but either way we just need some clarity.

i think the markets will greatly benefit from that. >> reporter: so that event will be announced or what's going to happen will be announced tomorrow at an event in the rose garden. and if as you mentioned, canada coming to the table. a lot of conversations between their trade minister and our commerce secretary as well as mexico which has had ongoing negotiations in the background which is why you haven't really heard president trump come out against mexico in many cases like he has against canada when they initially pushed back very forcefully. stu? stuart: good stuff, edward, thank you. i want to bring in the chairman of the house ways and means committee, congressman jason smith. congressman, we're hearing about talks between canada and the united states, mexico has chimed in. we know that our leading trading partners have a negotiating team in washington d.c. the markets, stock market, is taking all of this talk as a positive. how about you? >> absolutely. the president has made it crystal clear that he's going to use tariffs to bring countries

to the table. it's unfortunate what a lot of our friends and allies, our trading partners, how they have treated our manufacturers, our farmers, our small businesses. and so of course they're coming to the table because they know that president trump is not necessarying -- messing around. tomorrow's liberation day. he's going to make some serious moves if, if these countries do not treat our products fairly. and, you know, stuart, if you look at a report that i was just reviewing recently of 132 different countries and 600,000 different products, u.s. exporters pay higher tariffs on two-thirds of those products. that is unacceptable. that is not a level playing field. that is not free and fair trade. stuart: are you a tariff guy? do you fully approve of the president's position using tariffs in this way? >> i think you've to got to use every tool in the toolbox, stuart. what we need to make sure is, is

that u.s. manufacturers, farmers and workers are treated fairly around the world. it is unacceptable that in thailand they have a 50% tariff on u.s. beef but 00% on australian beef. -- 0%. and they're wanting trade preferences? let's get real. look at a india. they have some of the highest tariffs of any country. they better be lowering them, or the president's going to be targeting them with resip to call trade. >> the end result, if it goes well, it could be very positive. you could actually get more trade because it will be more fair trade. mine, i'm taking a very positiva very positive point of view here, but it's not out of the question, is it? >> stuart, the prior administration was out to lunch when it came to trade policy. president trump has put trade policy on the forefront of all issues, and by him talking about it, that's what brings good agreements. the president brought forward a new agreement in his first

administration with canada and mexico. it was under u s america ca. unfortunately -- usmca a. they're starting to come to the table now. stuart: congressman, it's great to have you on the show. thank you very much for appearing here. very busy time for you, i realize what's going on here. >> always great to be with you, stuart. stuart: yes, sir. see you again soon. thank you, sir. coming up, major league baseball bats, they're getting a makeover. and dave portnoy is not happy. roll tape. >> this is this nothing to do with the yankees, but we don't need these godzilla a bats. stuart: more popularly known as -- what is it. >> to have' doe bat. stuart: thank you very much, indeed. more new tech showing up on baseball fields, namely the ball-strike the challenge system. not everybody's onboard including the two-time world

jackie deangelis is with us now. what do you have on the show today? jackie: hey, stuart, tariff uncertainty, liberation day eve is what we're calling it. what are the details of trump's tariffs plans that he's going to ink tomorrow in we're going to be breaking that down with our special guest, gerry baker, in the first hour. also when you look at these markets, there's been tremendous selling. so the technicals are saying this might be a buying opportunity. anthony pompliano is with us in the second hour to break that down. it's a huge "big money show," and it's all a coming up at 12. stuart: we will watch. jackie, thank you very much, indeed. we're less than a week into the major league baseball seasonful there's the already controversy about the yankees using these torpedo bats. barstool sports guy, dave portnoy, joined our program earlier. he said this. >> this has nothing to do with the yankees. stuart, you're a soccer guy. what if you have a player of yours who stinks and every time he kicks it it's a muffin,

right? no speed, no nothing. you develop a shoe that has turboboosters in it, does that mean he's better? this has nothing to do with the yankees, but we dent need these godzilla9 bats infiltrating the national pastime. stuart: tell us how you feel, dave. another dave on the show, dave samson, former president of the miami marlins. how do you feel about torpedo bats? >> well, they're completely legal are, number one. number two, they've been used before. the yankees used them last year, there's players on the twins who have used them, and there are specific rules about the type of equipment you can use. and i am all in favor of developing ways to get better at doing the hardest thing in sports, which is hitting a ball. stuart: didn't they score, was it 15 home runs in a single game? was it something like that? that was mostly the torpedo bat, wasn't it? >> so, stuart, it was nine home runs and, yes, it turns out the

brewers' pitching staff may not be that good -- [laughter] because the brewers played the royals the next day, and the royals scored 11 runs or so. i think everyone needs to breathe. the bigger business issue is that the yankees, red sox and other teams spend millions and millions of dollars in order to do research and development to try to find any if advantage on the margin. and that's not fair to teams that can't afford to do it, and that's the issue that confronts major league baseball much more so than the shape of a bat or trying to improve a bat within the rules to hit the ball better. stuart: that's an interesting perspective, david. here's another one. major league baseball is testing out a new automated ball-strike challenge system. could be brought into games as early early as next year. baseball legend keith hernandez was on the show last week, he said he's not for it. watch. >> how are you going to argue with an a.i. umpire pyre --

umpire, so to speak? evidently, it doesn't call a high strike, and beginning a couple years ago, i don't know if they've made the adjustments, it had a hard time calling curveballs, breaking balls, with the ball moving. so i'm not for this, to be honest with you, but i will say this, they used it in spring training. and it is quick. stuart: all right, david. what do you think? are robot umps coming to baseball? >> i love you, keith, but, stuart, hear me, please. we're not talking about a.i. umpires. we're talking about human beings behind the plate, and we're talking about a challenge system the way hay do in -- the way they do in the tennis and other sports. if you can have a a 5-second challenge in order to not get th in we're not replacinggainst umpires with a.i. figures, i promise. stuart: what do you think about ticket scalping? the president signed an

executive order targeting exploytive ticket scalping in the entertainment industry. here's what kid rock and dave portnoy said it earlier -- about it earlier on this show. >> as an artist, you know, the majority of us want to get the prices we set into the hands of the fans at those prices. i would rather be with more of a hero to to working class people so they can go to more shows. and this is the first step to really, you know, try to get the bots and the bad actors, the scalpers, out of the way. ultimately, i'd like to see some legislation passed that puts a cap on the resale of concert tickets, like a 10% cap. >> you've got to make it equal for everybody, when the tickets go on sale, everybody has an equal chance to buy them. you have to stop the big companies, the scalpers, the ticket resailer -- resalers. they get 90% of the supply, and they get it all. stuart: is there anything we can really do to stop the bots and scalpers getting the majority of tickets? >> well, the first thing you

have to do is stop the host from wanting the scalpers to buy the tickets. there have been scalpers since the first event,9 and the reason there are these scalpers is that people who butt up events, they -- who put up events, they want to sell tickets at their prices so they can get the revenue that they projected to have. what scalpers do is buy tickets on the come. sometimes they lose when the event stinks, sometimes they win when the event allows for a great secondary resale market. teams have used them all the time. what you can do to eliminate that, you want to put a cap at the maximum amount that a scalper can charge, then you're going to tell that scalper not to buy the crappy games because it won't be worth it because they make their money on the good games. you can't have it both ways, and that's what your guest previously had been hoping for. it just doesn't exist. stuart: we don't have an answer yet. david samson, thanks for joining

the way i approach work post fatherhood,

has really trying to understand the generation that we're building devices for. here in the comcast family, we're building an integrated in-home wifi solution for millions of families like my own. in the average household, there are dozens of connected devices. connectivity is a big part of my boys' lives. it brings people together in meaningful ways. stuart: all right, take a look at this poll posted on x. it reads, and i'm quoting now, which of these would california have to do for you to consider moving back? zero income tax, affordable housing, zero extreme policies? eliminate homelessness? grant cardone posted that poll, and and he joins me now. okay, grant, what were the results of the poll? >> well, it's a surprise to me, i thought the zero income tax

would be the number one thing, fix the economy, but it was actually get rid of extreme policies in california. that's what it would take. not just, you know california's got a number of problems, highest taxes, highest insurance, highest grocery prices, highest transportation prices, highest rents. they're high in california, everything is high. and highest cost of living, highest crime, highest number of regulations. but the thing that won in this poll was not that, to fix that, it was the extreme policies. get rid of extreme, crazy, fringe group policies. stuart: i thought it was going to be taxes but, no, get rid of the extreme, crazy fringe practices. >> yeah. well, zero taxes was number two though. like, the state would be, like -- i believe this, i believe that poll says get rid of extreme, whoever reason is -- runs for governor will win on the economy, not on policies.

stuart: firefighters are battling the silver fire northeast of fresno. 800 homes evacuated, apparently. now, that's a new fire. you tell me how recovery efforts are going from the previous l.a. fires. how's that going? >> look, there's 8,500 fires a year for the last 100 years in the state of california are. okay? this is not a new thing. fires are not a new thing, winds are not a new thing. the response or the inability to respond or the lack of priorities by the governor and the other political people in charge of california, that insane lack of prioritization is what's new in california. it needs to become a priority. there are the facilities, the technology and the resources to literally irrigate the entire state of california if there was a commitment to it and prevent these fires from happening in the first place. stuart: i ask all a our guests who know anything about california the following question: if my lifetime, will we see a republican win a statewide election in california? you've got 30 seconds.

>> i think that you see the state flip red this cycle, 2026. you will see a republican governor, you will see a red wave across the state of california. it can be flipped. it can be flipped this cycle, but the people in california have to say enough of the insanity, stop it. this isn't democrat, republican or independent, it's, like, stop the insanity. and the republicans aren't to blame for what's happened in the state of california. so send a message to the blue dominance, we're done. stuart: grant cardone, fascinating stuff. come back soon. see you again soon, grant. good stuff, indeed. i appreciate that. thank you very much, indeed, sir. it is that time. we're closing in on 11:50. -- 11:55. it's time for the tuesday trivia question, another great one. which animal, insect has the best hearing in the world? moth, bat, owl, elephant? it's a simple choice, isn't it? the answer when we return. ♪

david takes prevagen for his brain and this is his story. .. when i have customers come in, i recommend prevagen. number one, because it's safe and effective. does not require a prescription. and i've been taking it quite a while myself and i love it when the customers come back in and tell me, "david, that really works so good for me." makes my day. prevagen. for your brain.

stuart: distribute questions interrupting the question whether i would love to swing this year. which animal/insect is the best hearing in the world? moff, bat, elephant? you are first, ashley.

ashley: it is not an elephant even though they have the biggest years. it's between a bad and i'm off because it says insect which i think is a clue. i will go with moff number one. lauren: i had the same reasoning. number one. martha. stuart: murphy says he knows it. is supposed to be right. >> might be there to throw people off but i will go with the bat. stuart: you are right. i'm going with the towel. let's have a look. it's them off. the greater wax moth. researchers think the sharp since appearing helped to escape its most common predator which is the bat. almost out of time. thanks, great show today, "the big money show" starts now
