president, it's a general election. that's the whole country. you can't be in an echo chamber forever. maria: yeah, but i'm glad vivek called out welker -- >> yeah. maria: she kept saying trump colluded with russia. no, he didn't, it was a lie. >> i'm just saying specifically those anchors. if you wanted to choose other anchors who respect so openly hostile to the candidate who's leading in the primary, right? number one case against trump was never about someone who could be more effective at governing, it was someone who could be more electable at beating -- maria: i think i agree with you with all, nikki haley, the winner of the debate. dow industrials up 103 points, nasdaq up 16, s&p up 11. we're going to see you tomorrow and don't forget next week, all hands on deck for the cpi and the ppi. "varney & company" picks it up. stu, take it away. stuart: good morning, maria.

good morning, everyone. at debate, haley called ramaswamy scum. ramaswamy said haley is dick cheney this 3-inch heels. democrats took their issue and won big with it in tuesday's elections. haley came on strong on foreign policy. it was really a race to be the second, and the early reaction suggests second place now goes to nikki haley. trump, oh, he was holding a rally of his own just a few miles away. he's way out front. he has more support than all five candidates combined. you'll see the highlight reel with lauren in just a couple of minutes. all right, to the markets, you'll like this. socks are up again in a modest rally mode, i'd say. the dow's up maybe 100 points, 10 for the s&p and 12 for the nasdaq. some green out there. investors liked disney's financial report. that stock is up sharply in premarket action today. what is that,s 4%, $3 at 87. interest rate a, little changed.

show me 10- year, 4.53%. that's the yield. the 2-year, well below 5%, you're looking at 4.96%, but it is creeping up a bit. i saw bitcoin at $36,000 earlier. st new at $37,300. that's another rally right there. oil edging lower -- well, a little bit higher, or $76 a barrel right now. it was $90 a barrel last month. gas, $3. .40. there are now nine states where the price is below $3 a gallon. diesel holding at $4.39. now, we have a significant development in the war. the u.s. taking aggressive action, bombing a or sir is january weapons or storage -- a syrian weapons storage facility. separately, houthi rebels in yemen shot down an american reaper drone. that's like a small plane, $32 million each, and it carries up to to 8 hellfire missiles. what kind of technology does

iran have to shoot down a sophisticated drone like that? on the show today, the hollywood strike is over. after six months they've the reached a deal on how to handle a. a.i. but no details yet. the president travels to congratulate the united autoworkers union, it's a victory lap. and today, wait for it again, students and teachers at more than a hundred new york city schools will walk out of class. they demand the u.s. end its support for what they call genocide. where does that leave jewish students in our schools? the kids have trouble reading and doing math, but they sure know how to hate. what a cities grace. thursday, november 9th, 2023. varney and company is about to begin. ♪ ♪ ♪ 'cuz it's the heat of the

moment ♪ stuart: i love this song. it's got a nice rhythm to it. >> i thought it was heat of the morning, but i'll take heat of the moment. [inaudible conversations] this is the momentst starting right now. stuart: yes, it is. all right, let's get to the third gop debate. a few fireworks. good morning, lauren. i want the highlight reel. lauren: more time, fewer e candidates, more substance, that was my takeaway. trump still the hot topic in this race for who could be his number two. >> donald trump's a lot different guy than he was in 2016. he owes it to you to be on this stage and explain why he should get another chance. he should explain why he didn't have mexico pay for the border wall. he should explain why he didn't drain the swamp. >> anybody who's going to be spending the next year and a half of their life focusing on keeping themself out of jail and courtrooms cannot lead this party or this country. >> when your gas prices are 40%

higher right how than they were just a little over two years ago, that's not a problem for my mama, that was a crisis is. >> in last debate she made fun of me for actually joining tiktok, well, her own daughter was using the app for a long time -- >> leave my daughter out of your voice. lauren: you're scum. fit does not get more -- it does not get more personal than that. hay to not like each other, they did not shake hands at the end. big emphasis on foreign policy. my argument is that's not as much of a motivating issue for voters. there's another debate, number four, likely next month in alabama. stuart: got it, thank, lauren. rachel campos duffy is at a diner in miami. how's my promoneysuation? >> pretty darn good. stuart: who do the diapers think won the debate -- the dune -- diners think won the debate?

>> i'm fully caffeinated, stuart, and i would say this was at least a 90-995% trump crowd. you know, last might the people here in this area had a choice between going to the debate, the conservatives did, or going to the rally. a lot of people ended up going to the rally. we also a had vivek ramaswamy if drop on by here, and we interviewed him. and i know you talked about moment with tiktok, but we talked about the 3-inch heel moment where he said, you know, do you want america first, do you want to get out of these wars or do you want dick cheney in heels. people weren't sure if he was talking about nikki haley or ron desantis because there's been a heelgate going on with him as well. but i think it was an interesting debate about that issue because there seems to be a generational divide, younger people saying get us out of these dumb wars. but also a lot of exhaustion with american wars and american spending on wars and other countries when we have so many problems here. that's a message i got a lot

from the people here at the diner. stuart: i have to ask you, what do you think of haley calling vivek ramaswamy scumsome i mean, what do do you make of that? >> look, i thought she was also a little too aggressive there, could have taken it classy, but a lot of people here did not like that vivek ramaswamy went after her daughter in that way. but, look, these are people that have to be able to take a lot of punches. certainly the guy at the rally has taken a lot more than that and has also given a lot more than that. so, you know, it is what it is. i thought it was an interesting debate in that there was less people on the stage, more time to talk about it. i'll tell you what's not talked about here, stuart, if i think about the last time i got to talk to you, no one here talks about climate change. they're talking about the economy, war and peace issues, and heir talking about educatiog about education. stuart: i don't think climate change was mentioned at all. i didn't pick up on it. >> no.

stuart: rachel, have fun -- >> i tell you something else really quick in the vote with the hispanics has never been stronger for conservatives. you put trump and biden together, t t a 50-50 divide, and no demographic is more dissatisfied with joe biden than hispanic-americans. so this is an important group, and that's why you see vivek and ron desantis and others going to these hispanic areas, to see what's on their mind. stuart: rachel, thanks for a great report. see you again later. lauren, i want to though -- what did the donald -- i know what he was doing. where was he last night? lauren:-counterprogramming many florida. watch. >> somebody said, oh, some -- one of the dumber ones, he doesn't have the courage to stand the up. well, listen, i'm standing in front of tens of thousands of people right now, and it's on television. [cheers and applause] that's a hell of a lot harder another the than a debate. and it's the time for the republican establishment to stop wasting time and and resources

trying to push weak and ineffective rinos and never trumpers that nobody wants and nobody's going to vote for. lauren: well, he got an endorsement from his former press secretary, arkansas governor sarah huckabee sanders, and she called donald trump a change agent, a disrupter. i think that's valid. but then she says look at that in contrast to the corrupt washington insider who is currently in the oval office, president biden. stuart: forceful. all right. check the markets, please. i see green. up 87 for the dow, up 11 for the nasdaq. adam johnson with me now. you know, you told us a few days ago that last week you'd taken some new money and put it into the market. >> i did, indeed. stuart: what did do you buy? >> i bought the entire portfolio, stuart -- >> stuart: you've got a model portfolio. >> correct, the american inyes knewty portfolio, 35 names, and i bought a little of everything. and i'll tell you why, for a

couple of reasons. number one, that's the right way to do it. if you're running a portfolio, you can't cher orally pick -- which arely pick, you buy the whole thing like when you're buying an etf. you get all the stocks in a fund, right? that's one way to approach it. but number two, and i think this is important to understand, the markets had gotten incredibly oversold, and you can measure that. fewer than 5% of all the stocks in the s&p 500 and the nasdaq were trading below their 50-day moving averages. that is an oversold washout. it's only happened five times in five years, and in each case it was an excellent buying opportunity. so two weeks ago, that was the sixth time that we've seen it in five years, so i bought. and so far so good. i didn't get the bottom, no one ever excepts the bottom. i bought in the -- ever gets the bottom. i bought in the middle. stuart: well done, young man. >> thank you, sir. stuart: join the debate about microsoft and apple. we've been going on about who's going to be the most valuable

company in the world. at the moment it's apple, but microsoft is very close. who's got the better growth prospect? which one of them? >> microsoft. and to be clear, i own hem both as do my clients. here's the thing, can and here's why i can answer you so definitively and, again, i own them both. they're both trading at a pe ratio of 30 times. the market, by the way, is 18 times. so they're both more ebbs pensive than the market -- expensive than the market. microsoft is 15% earnings growth versus 7% earnings growth at apple. if they're both the same price, the same valuation, would you rather own the one that's growing faster? the answer's, yes. that's microsoft. stuart: won't be long million they catch up with apple. >> i think that's right. stuart: they're really close now. >> well, and microsoft brilliantly pivoted from being the guts of your machine to the guts of the cloud, and that's why it's growing. stuart: good stuff, adam. you're staying for the hour. lucky bay. coming up, senators grilled

dhs secretary mayorkas. he was asked how many terrorists are in our country. he couldn't answer. roll that tape. >> there's 280-something people on the terrorist watch list. are they out of the country or in the country? >> senator, they very well may be out of the country. >> you came to this hearing today without those numbers. >> that is the correct. stuart: oh, dear. he should have been better prepared. vivek ramaswamy did not hold back in the debate bait -- debate. he says republicans have become the party of losers. vivek is next. ♪ to call, here's to the losers, bless them all ♪ trading at schwab is now powered by ameritrade, unlocking the power of thinkorswim, the award-winning trading platforms. bring your trades into focus on thinkorswim desktop with robust charting and analysis tools, including over 400 technical studies.

♪ ♪ welcome to the miami. ♪ muck. stuart: you are looking at miami, floridaing, site of the debate last night. nice and balmy, miami. republican candidates were forced to tackle social issues, that after a wave of democrat wins in tuesday's elections. madison alworth is talking to voters in, oh, the villages. i believe we're quite popular down there. do voters think republicans need a change of advantage? >> reporter: yeah, has something i've been hearing. this is been a lot of focus on that final question which was on abortion and how the party needs to figure out their angle on it, because after tuesday's election you see that voters are turning out for social issues, and and when they do, the democrats are winning. that has been a big focus. i have some voters here that we've been chatting with this morning, so i'm going to talk first with tom. stuart was just saying when it comes to the strategy of the gop, do you think there was inform of a pivot last night? --

enough of a pivot last night? >> yes, i think nikki would headache a wonderful vice president for -- make a wonderful vice president for mr. i'd have to give her a 9, desantis an 8.5, tim scott a 7. and vivek, i'm afraid, shot himself in the foot. >> reporter: okay. and you said for vp. for you, is president trump the nominee? >> oh, indeed so, yes. >> reporter: why is that? >> because he did such a good job is first final. >> reporter: we're going to move over to ed. we're many desantis country, he is the governor of the state. for you, are you for president trump. >> and what did you think about the candidates on the sage? >> i think nikki won with. i think ramaswamy was a bit obnoxious, like the other gentleman said, shot himself mt. foot. i think desantis should stay where he is many florida and take carry of the state of florida.

i think nikki could be a good president, and i think trump is a wonderful guy, did a great job but too much baggage. >> reporter: thank you so much. with we've with the to go but, joan, you said you don't care for politics, but trump is still your guy? >> yes, trump is because of his policies. certainly not his personality. >> reporter: got it. thank you so much. stu, we'll seven it back to you. this you go, the voters. stuart: thanks very much, madison. look at this, it's from the "wall street journal." quote, are republicans tired of all the a losing? another lousy election day shows the gop has a brand problem. well, vivek ramaswamy echoed those concerns last night. watch this. >> i think there's something deeper going on in the republican party here, and i am upset about what happened last night. we've become a party of losers, at the end of the day. stuart: vivek ramaswamy is with us now. vivek, you said republicans lost in 2018, 2020, 2022 and 2023 under ronna mcdaniel, and you

named her. but trump was the leader of the party through those elections. doesn't he share some responsibility for the losses? >> not in 2022 or 2023, stuart. i think we have to -- we've gotten into the bad habit of somehow pinning the tail on one man, donald trump, but i think there's a deeper issue. the republican party, we need to define who we are and what we actually stand for. is it the republican party of 2002? dick cheney and george bush's republican party which was well represented on that debate stage last night? fighting foreign wars on the other side of the world without taking care of american interests here at home. or are we a party of the next generation that actually looks after protecting americans in our own homeland. i have a different view, i'm from a different generation. my view is that the moral obligation of the u.s. president is exclusively to u.s. citizens here at home. i don't think that that view should be controversial, but i think it's a controversial view on that debate stage and in

today's republican party, but i think we have to define who we are and what we stand for. once we do that, we're going to be successful. and, yes, there needs to be accountability, change in leadership. stuart: you calledded out nikki haley's daughter for using tiktok. she then called you scum. why did you go after her family and her clothingsome no woman's going to like that. >> the reality is this: the republican party has appropriately had scrutiny of hunter biden for years. correctly. in the last debate, she is actually saying that i'm -- he said i feel dumber every time the i hear you speak, what's what she said, for using tiktok. the criticism wasn't of nikki haley's daughter, it was of nikki haley for being completely oblivious to where the next generation of americans is getting their information. my view is we do better by showing up. nikki haley wants to go the way

of censorship, i want free speech. she wants to withdraw from talking to young people. young people even in your own family are on that the next generation platform, we need to talk to them directly. she's on the other side of this generational divide, and that's what i was pointing out. stuart: your home state, ohio, voted to put abortion protection into the state's constitution. now, a abortion's become, i think, a winning issue for democrats. spell out your position on abortion. clearly, please. >> my position is the republican party needs to offer a clear alternative. that's why we lost in my home state of ohio. left put up a constitutional amendment, conservatives did not have an alternative, so people voted for what the leavitt put up. here's what we need to do. codify greater protections that we stand for as pro-life conservatives for access to contraception, adoption, childcare. and here's the big one that i talk about that no one's talking about in this race in either party, greater responsibility for men. put it into with law that if

you're a man who has been genetically confirmed with a paternity test, you have greater responsibility than exists in the law right now. that way it's not about men's rights versus women's rights, it's about human rights. i am sick and tired of losing on this issue. i think the old republican establishment has led us astray, i'm injecting fresh views, and that will be a winning formula. stuart: vivek ramaswamy, i'd like to the talk with you all a day, but we appreciate you being with us this morning. thanks a lot, sir. >> thank you, stuart. stuart: hillary clinton was asked whether biden is the democrats' best candidate for 2024. what did she say? lauren: the specific question from "the view" was, is he the best messenger for the democratic brand message, and hillary clinton said, yes, he is. >> he's done a really good job as president. i like to evaluate people in public life on what have they gotten done for us. and if you go back is and look at comparable presidencies,

barack obama was behind at this point in his re-election. my husband was behind. until the candidates, the nominees are actually chosen, people are always saying, well, maybe there's somebody better out there. but look at the alternative. and look at what we would face as a country. lauren: and then they went on to attack trump and the people who vote for him. at one point clinton the even said people right now are reconsidering donald trump, but they don't tell the pollsters that. that's what she said. stuart: she didn't quite say bass e debt of deplorables. lauren: it was inferred. stuart: dow's up 900, nasdaq's -- 100, nasdaq's up 21. back after this. ♪ ♪ i only talk to god when i need a favor. ♪ and i (♪)

factors, but i think the biggest near term catalyst is you're going to see content deals and partnerships. i mean, disney is -- content is king, and dissmy is the king of content -- disney. and has the driver of their revenue growth fly wheal, the fact that they can put content into their streaming channels, into movie theaters and create theme park attractions can and product licenses off of their content. those are their powerful revenue drivers, and i think that we'll see a reemergence of direct to consumer streaming subscription growth also supported by advertising they weres -- alternatives and the deal with espn. so they have a lot they can use to unlock value. stuart: ivan, what about the enof the hollywood strike? does that help can disney? >> oh, absolutely. sadly, you know, that did put the industry back, you know, they were lucky that they had a

lot of content in the pipeline to meet the theater release for this year, but it would have continued, it would have jeopardized this upcoming summer release which now they're going to have to rush to get back on track. but that's another positive that i also hi is helping to lift the stock, the announcement of a tentative deal yesterday. stuart: ivan, thank you very much for being with us. i'll repeat what you said. disney is how at $88 a share, ivan thinks it's going to $177 in 12 months. see you again soon. enter thank you. stuart: 20 seconds million the opening bell. minute will press the button, and the trading day will begin. it is thursday, november the what? 9th, i think. yeah, 9th. there's the bell, 10 seconds before the actual open of the market, and thousand he leanses forward and, press that button to, buddy. there you go. the market is open, and we've opened higher. right from the get go i see green.

not a whole lot of it, but the dow is up 50 in the first few seconds, 34,162. how about that? we don't have -- yeah, we do. the dow 30 have opened. i see most of them on the upside again. this is quite a rally we've been having recently, as you pointed out yesterday. lauren: up nine, ten days in a row looking at the s&p and the nasdaq, yeah. s&p 500 is up right now, that is up ten days -- mine days in a row, and the nasdaq is up ten. stuart: the nasdaq is up 33 points, one-quarter of 1% all over again. let me see big tech, please. i presume they're doing well. not all of them. amazon and apple are up. we're hekking out microsoft if -- checking out microsoft today very closely, because if it goes up, it will be the third straight record close are. by the way, apple is currently worth $2.84 trillion, microsoft, $2.69 trillion. $15 billion apart. you like that. >> i own 'em both, stuart.

stuart: i never owned apple. >> really? why not? stuart: i'm a fool. >> no. [laughter] no, you're not a fool. stuart: okay, let's move on. [laughter] eli lilly, please. their diabetes drug, monojury row, massive popularity, what's the fda saying? lauren: the fda has expanded the use of this drug to treat obesity, and it's going to be the sold under the name, get used to this one, zepbound. eli lilly can promote this to lose weight, and all you need to show is that your body mass index is 30. i mean, technically you're overweight, but that's not a crazy number. and this also mean that insurance companies and health planses have to cover it. at what cost. the the list price is $1,060 per month. and truest, the brokerage, is saying that there could be 40%

of u.s. adults that could be eligible for this drug. >> probably more than that. my bmi's 24, and i think i'm pretty lean and mean, okay? so if only another 6 percentage points above, that's a lot of people. stuart: i like to -- how do you calculate your biomass -- lauren: the doctor. >> go to your doctor. you can't do it. lauren: it's not the end-all, be-all of anything, but it is one measure, and they're obviously using it. and just to put eli lilly in the context of novo nordisk, their market cap is $100 billion more than novo author disk. and in the u.k., health regulators say, yes, you can use this new drug to treatment obesity as well. so this is worldwide that we're seeing people can can easily get a shot, take a pill and be thin. stuart: what did you do to poor eli lilly's stock? it was down 1.8ing percent, now it's down 2. see what you did? >> it's lauren's fault. [laughter] stuart: chip designer arm,

a-r-m, they had their first report since they ipo'd this september. i doubt it's a very good one -- lauren: below the ipo price of 51. stuart: really? lauren: the problem was the outlook. the ceo said, look, this quarter we don't know, it's a very wide range of how sales, revenue's going to be between $720-80 million, it shows they can't predict their business. some of the deal timing is not looking good. how do they get their revenue? they get their revenue from licensing fees for the chips that they design and from royalties for those designs that they sell. investors are saying, well, where is your customer? where are they at? can you guarantee this continued revenue stream, and the stock is under the i e po price. stuart: investors can be tough on that. down 8% -- >> understandably tough on arm because why buy arm when you can buy nvidia? nvidia's the big dog. they're practically back to

all-time highs again. again, 30 trillion calculations per second, right? 30 trillion. nobody else can do that, not arm, not amd, not intel. nobody. intel is the best -- i'm sorry, nvidia is the best. lauren: it's the up 2% today, nvidia. stuart: 2% today? >> practically new all-time high. stuart: lyft, ride-share company. they reported, how do they stack up against uber? lauren: they're behind. so lyft's report card was fine, but it's just not good enough to really take on uber. uber has 74% market share. investors are looking at one measure, gross bookings. for lyft quarter over quarter, it's 3. uber's 7%. if you look year-over-year, uber is also two times what lyft's gross bookings are. so, but lyft is doing fine. active riders rose by 10%, they're routeing 20% more rides in the quarter and and getting more revenue or per rider, but

they're not uber. stuart: uber has 74% of the ride-share market, that's huge. that's your stock pick. >> i looked at them both side by side, and i decided uber had just a better prospect, can and part of that is because of the pivot uber made during covid whereby they started transporting stuff. lyft still focuses on people, but at uber, half the money they make comes from just transporting stuff from prescriptions to groceries, to booze, to stuff, right in and that's why uber actually is now cash flow positive and earnings pop a year as -- positive a year ahead of schedule. stuart: i bought a little of it a couple weeks ago. >> excellent. stuart: you brought some other stock picks. expedia. >> oh, yeah, love it. this company, it may be down half a percent today, but it was up 7-8% yesterday. it's a proxy is on normalization it's also a brilliantly-run company that leverages the shift of travel agencies and business bookings to online.

sort of the digital travel agent. this cane's trading at, like, 10 times earnings, and yet it's growing at about 30%. 10 times earnings, the s&p trades at 18, so it's almost 50% cheaper hand the s&p 500, and -- hand the s&p 500, and it's growing phi times faster. -- five times faster. stuart: o.k.. apt the ivdaptiv. >> it's kind of weird, i don't know where they got that name, but i do love the company. these guys are number one in the world for electric vehicle wire harnessing. i know that's a mouthful. but also just all the advance -- you know, like a cadillac, the escalade, right? it's an incredibly complex vehicle even though it's not an electric vehicle, it's a very complicated vehicle from an electrical point of view. so you need a whole separate chassis just for the wiring. heir, like, 3600 -- there are, like, 3600 semiconductors on some of these vehicle, can and a

a ptiv has figured out how to do that most effectively. no one touches them. i'll leave it at that. stuart: aptiv. sounds french, doesn't it? adam, thank you very much, indeed. coming up, don't forget to send in your friday feedback material. i need a new script is, send in whatever you want to send this to varneyviewersfox.com. >> bring it in. stuart: i can take a little heat. at a distance.

♪ ♪ stuart: all right, now we're heading to northern israel now where there's been a lot of activity this morning. alex hogan is there. what's going on, alex? >> reporter: hi, stuart. a lot of escalation on the border of israel and lebanon. just behind me, you can see that hillsideing we've seen a lot of billowing smoke on the horizon with the sound of around artillery crossfire between israeli forces and hezbollah which managed to strike a northern town near where we are. one israeli soldier was wounded, but again, more crossfire tensions escalate here. we've also seen a lot of escalation in the last four weeks when it comes to u.s. forces on the ground. as many as 42 u.s. bases have been attacked, 42 attacks, i should say, in the last four weeks. and what we also saw late last height when u.s. officials

confirmed to fox that a drone, an mq-9 reaper drone was attacked. hose drones finish those drones are valued up to $332 the million. mean -- $332 million. the i -- $32 million. idf are take thing out ammunition hubs and finding tunnels, but israeli forces target hamas, more civilians are being pushed further south. [speaking in native tongue] >> translator: how many palestinians must be killed for the war to stop. is six children every hour enough? is four women killed every hour enoughsome is 10,000 killed in 30 days enough? >> reporter: those numbers are still not verifiable. again, the health ministry in gaza is run by hamas, but still the u.s. says 1.4 million people are currently out of their home with more moving south, trying to get to safety. now, we're also learning more about an israeli raid in the

west bank within the last everything hours, officials were able to find explosives and am in addition in a tunnel. so alarming signs there, stuart, as we continue to watch the latest in the war. stuart? stuart: a alex, thank you very much is, indeed. douglas murray is many tel aviv for us now, and he joins us. hamas has admitted they want a permanent war with israel. they don't want peace. now, what does that do to the palestinian people, douglas in. >> well, it's devastating for palestinians, of course. palestinians in gaza voted in hamas, well, how many years ago now if, in 2006. hamas immediately killed their fatah colleagues, rivals and have been holding a -- the gaza hostage ever since. the only people in my view that take any care of the lives of palestinians are the israeli, and that the might sound counterintuitive to some people, but it's true. when the israelis told the

palestinians to move south so that the high command of hamas could be isolated, hamas shot these people. israeli tanks actually protected gaza, this s moving to the south. quite extraordinary when you think about it. they've shown hutch more care for the palestinian than any of the others who talk this big talk about how much they love the palestinians but won't take one of them this. stuart: yeah. american planes hit a weapons depot in syria which was being used by iran and its proxies. this was in response to the a u.s. drone shot down in yemen. douglas, are we we getting more aggressive? >> it's possible. i mean, there have been a lot of activity in the syrian theater in recent months and, indeed, years. america, israel, russia, of course, have all been operating there, and i think that's not a particular secret. but it is, of course, important

because if iran is going to keep filling up the weapons stockpiles of its proxies in remember than and syria, firing into israel and opening up a war for israel on three fronts, then of course it's the important that that should be stopped and america should do everything it can to stop it. stuart: got it. douglas, thanks very much for being with us. be safe, young man. be safe. see you later. concerning travel, why did pete buttigieg, transportation secretary, travel to ukraine? lauren: well, the press release will tell you to talk about transportation infrastructure in ukraine to get their exports out and on to the global market. so to help their economy. but it seems political now that continued aid to ukraine is a controversial topic and the fact that he took a private if jet. he is being sued for at least a dozen and a half private jets that he's taken to swing states going each and every time to

highlight the infrastructure law that president biden passed. so that seems political too. i think bottom line here is maybe he's politicizing his role a bit. stuart: he doesn't want to be president, i mean, is he seringly entertaining the idea of running for the presidency? lauren: someone said that to me yesterday, that they could see him as a future president. >> it might be an open field. gavin newsom was in ukraine and then a week later was in china. are you kidding me? really? is the dnc saying, okay, gavin, go at it, and now buttigieg -- lauren: young blood. >> i think it's open season on biden. bring this in young blood -- stuart: the private jet thing never bothered me. sometimes -- >> well, he should probably be on a military transport, but it might be that you don't want to have a u.s. military transport going into ukraine air space. stuart: understood. >> right many. stuart: coming up, abortion rights prove to be a winning issue for democrats. question, does the republican

[laughter] stuart: we are, indeed, playing drunk on a plane. we've talked a number of times about the robs wither aline -- with airlines. lauren, travelers, are they beginning to the think that maybe airline performance has gotten better? lauren: after the winter that was dismal, yes.

but let me share those dismal numbers, because they're still bad. the government received nearly 25,000 complaints first tree months of the year -- three months of the year, nearly doubling last year. imagine how many complaints the airlines themselves received. that must be the worst job in the world, having to work customer service at an airline during a storm. and one with of the big issues is the carriers' schedules and are hay just flying too many flights than they can actually handle with staffing and the like. so some of them are paying fines because of this. as for drinks on a plane, i always offer when i have the kids the people around he, may i buy you a drink -- stuart: you do? lauren: just in case anyone acts up. stuart: so you're not in first class, because drinks are free in first class. lauren: maybe next time. >> that's just so generous. no one has ever bought me a drink on a plane except for a flight attendant who was being with particularly nice to me. lauren: oh, oh. stuart stuart okay, i'm moving

yeah, it's probably harder to get promoted. stuart: so, adam, before you lee the show, are these kids soft? >> they are soft. toughen up, come on. no one's pert and we're all doing -- perfect and we're doing all doing the best we can, but suck is it up. it goes back to fourth grade and everyone who ran the race got a blue ribbon. no, the winner gets the blue ribbon. everybody else gets a pat on the back, try harder next time. lauren: let me end this segment, you raised the soft generation. stuart: oh, it's my fault. i knew it, i knew it. thanks, lauren. >> i'm leaving. i'm out of here.
