the chair of the joint chiefs knew. we don't know why he didn't immediately tell the commander in chief. the pentagon press secretary was asked if austin told people to be quiet. he did not answer directly "that is one of the things we'll be looking at in terms of process improvement". austin himself has taken full responsibility for the secrecy surrounding his hospitalization. he's apologized for the lack of disclosure. frankly, that's just not good enough and the administration is bungled again and it looks like amateur hour and biden is trying to shut things down and wouldn't accept his resignation and not all part of the presidential election and austin has performed poorly and should be fired immediately. it's not going away. he was hospitalized but we don't know why he's still there or why he went a wall. third hour of varney starts now.

♪ stuart: jimmy failla is with us this morning, thank goodness. should austin be fired in >> yes, if the biden administration wants to retain any credibility at all. why in they told us, stu, they were going to be the most transparent administration in history and apparently the biden white house transparent is a man that want as baby and we were told when biden won back the white house and the adults are back in the room. fear not, america, order has been restored and things are under the adults. they're in the hospital and not telling us. which is not only a slap in the face to walk by but a slap in the face to biden. they essentially thought he was not on a need to know basis and he was not an essential worker and essential worker during the pan democrat and i can will we have a chain of command because of the president of the unit

deeming someone a essential worker. chaos and basic lack of respect for the guy at the top of this thing. stuart: maybe they didn't tell the president but they did tell the president, they did tell the people who have been acting. see what i mean. >> biden is at the kitty table and spent most of my life and you bring me on and you're nice and they cut up my pizza in the green room for me. i know what's happening to the president, i get it. stuart: you really think that? >> we're fighting like -- kind of fighting multiple wars with all the aid giving ukraine and support and we're rightfully giving to israel and ukraine as well. the idea that we could have the guy at the tippy top of our military just off the grid for four days and that's somehow acceptable and all the speeches about protecting democracy and the guy that would have to protect it and if the game was on the line. giving the procedure to get it. there's no right to be derelict in his duty.

none, that's facial. stuart: you got it. fireable. stuart: got it. watched you on the story this morning and new survey, lots of new surveys as you well know shows that employers are now looking to hire old reworks and more of the reasons is that some gen z youngsters are taking their parents to job interviews. jimmy, i'm sorry, it's a new survey. i do not believe that anybody takes their parents to a job interview. duoyou know anybody like that? >> i've never met that person to be clear. if i had, you can't hire that employee. why? because if the parent is showing up to the job interview and they're telling you they're so desperate getting the monster kid out of the house and contributing it and nothing to society you don't want this kid. stuart: listen to some of the other reasons like gen z kids. 53% of employers said recent college graduates struggle with eye contact. 50% said they asked for unreasonable compensation. 47% said they don't dress

appropriately for interviews, 21% said they refuse to turn their cameras on for virtual interviews. what's that all about? >> thank the smart phones, social media, and the pandemic. it's a combination of the three. a lot of people weren't socialized. okay, i have a whole generation of kids my son's age age that don't look at you when they talk to you, it's bizarre. the problem with social media is everybody, the whole fake it till you make it mentality. everybody is crushing it on social media. if you open up instagram, everybody is hotter, everybody's balling, yet somehow 70% of the country thinks we're headed in the wrong direction. the problem is there's no instagram filter for a job interview. you can't mask in-person all of the defects your phone has been able to correct when building your avatar. that's the hook. i got on stuart varney because i'm this good in person. you should see me on instagram. super hunk. my gosh. who is that? brad pitt? what's he doing on varney?

>> one thing, add the parents. if they're not telling their kids to make eye contact on a job interview. >> he make as quick point i'll get out of the way, family privilege is a thing. white privilege but family privilege matters. if you came from a family that modeled excellence and decent behavior and good attitude and self-reliance, you win in life. stuart: i'll give you a promo for your festival. what do you have for us? >> do you ever. my new standup special on fox nation is called they're just jokes. why? because we have a generation of people that don't know the difference between a joke and hate crime. i talk about a lot of controversial things in my special and not going to be a shock jock or provocative. i'm going because true equality in the country happens when we treat people as equals. if you take a subject or group of people saying you can't make fun of them. that's not equality. that's back to the kid dy table and i'm letting everybody come into the splash zone. stuart: was your joke you have a

6'5-inch son. >> oh, lincoln. people say do you want to know sot audience gets it? people say i talk about student loan forgiveness. it's a controversial issue and aren't you concerned as a dad for the growing tuition? i say, no, my son is 6'5 and he's getting a women's basketball scholarship. >> varney seal. saturday night and jimmy failla on fox news. >> maiden voyage, stu, we're moving up. stuart: we broke ground. >> saturday night kid. stuart: i'll tape it. >> you're coming on, i promised everybody. me and taylor swift. stuart: taking all of mike murphy's time. >> it's the right thing to co. the question posed in the prompter, is this the year to change your investment plan? yes or no? >> no. stuart, we've talked about this for years now. people will get overwhelmed with headlines that tell them they should shift into mid capsicly

doj and then they prosecute but they have a history of prosecuting people who have failed to come before congress so we expect them to do the same if we have this vote. stuart: you're expecting the department of justice under president biden to actually fine and put in prison the president's son, really? >> correct. if you look at just last year, they've done this and when congress has held people like steve bannon in contempt of congress, they've pursued him and we expect them if we hold this vote and he's held in contempt to do the same. stuart: are some people, outside observers looking at what's going on saying this is a tit for tat thing and you guys tried to impeach the president and go after his son. tit for tat. a lot of peep don't like it. what do you say? >> i disagree with that characterization and people believe that joe biden acted unethically or illegally and it's really important that we

build our case and you happen like democrats we're building brick by brick and laying out the case and this isn't some predetermined outcome like the democrats had with president trump and this is what the founder's intended and when somebody doesn't comply with a lawful subpoena, it's time to hold them accountable. stuart: the editorial board is calling on you to, not you personally but the republican party in the house to reach a deal on the border. stuart: are you at all close to a deal on the board instruct her jot house's position was hr2 and passed in the spring as collecting dust on senator chuck schumer's december and can our position is clear where we are right now. i hope that if they reach a deal, it actually does what it says it is going to do, which is to secure the border. we don't need continual lipstick on the pig and need the border secure and 300,000 myograns in the country last year and 270 people -- migrants in the

country last year and 270 people on the watch list. stuart: is the border a more important issue in the election than the economy? >> i think certainly the border is the issue today if you look at what's going on on our southern border and american people when i'm in district they're talking about it constantly because they see what's going on and see 00 americans die every single day from fentanyl poisoning anded of status quo and administration is giving and right now it's the issue of the day and economy and talking about other guys feeling the pinch and the border is up on there. stuart: the truth is they only see what's going on with the border and going for that. >> thank you, stuart. stuart: ashley, come on in. i want to know what biden officials are saying about defense secretary lloyd austin today.

ashley: austin's chief of staff ordered a 30 day investigation surrounding the hospitalization and mast warranted and the chief of staff says the review will ensure clarity and transparency and the president is being told before not considering firing austin and would not accept a resignation if austin were to offer one. biden is his team have been adamant that he remains in good standing and that biden is also to friends famously loyal and values apparently continuity in his cabinet for senior officials said "austin is going nowhere". john kirby said that biden respects the fact that secretary austin took ownership for the lack of transparency. says that austin will stay in the job. there are a lot more questions to be answered than that statement from the administration. stu. stuart: i think you're right again, ashley. well done. ashley: yeah, thank you. stuart: coming up, administration, biden campaign

raising concern about adequate infrastructure and likelihood of significant delays without construction of additional charging stations. another example of sounding good in here reigns leading, not so much. stuart: i wonder if mike murphy can look on the green side. >> this will never work as ashley says. maybe going out 20 years it'll work and they're trying to throw taxpayer doll lori harmons out of something that -- dollars at something that looks good on the campaign and not feasible to do so. stuart: trump is speaking. can we listen in, please. have we got that? we'll try to get this, do you have him or not? >> he'll be the next president of the united states and our legal teams and other team made clear and direct attack on

democracy and that cannot happen. what's here today is you all call it had and special council on ceded and it was president obama that was being prosecuted for a drone strike, they'd have to consider immunity. many it's not and it's president trump, they're taking the position that there's no immunity for the presidential acts and required when a president is carrying out his job responsibilities. >> adopt what the special council wants and adopt what president biden wants and we open the pan dora's box to political prosecution after political prosecution after political prosecution. in fact, joe biden could be prosecuted for trying to stop this man from becoming the next president of the united states. we don't need political

prosecutions, we need political process. i'd like to introduce president trump. >> i wanted to thank you all and we had a very momentos day in terms of what was learned and what they've conceded and conceded two major points that were right in doing but they didn't have much other choice but they're very, very powerful points. and i think we're doing very well. it's very unfair when an opponent, political opponent is prosecuted by biden's doj so they're losing in every poll and they're losing in almost every demographic and they're very mind boggling if you happen to be joe biden and this is the way they're going to try to win and that's not the way it goes. it'd be a very bad thing and a bad president opening of

pandora's box and that's a very sad thing that's happened with this whole situation. when they talk about that threat to knock seizure disorders, that's your real threat to democracy and i feel that as a president, you have to have immunity. very simple. and if you don't, as an example of this case where i had presidential immunity and did absolutely nothing wrong and i worked on very hard on another front and we have to have free election and strong borders and free election and those two things almost above all and we found tremendous voter fraud and we had a list of it and have findings if you want it and press doesn't like reporting it and we found tremendous voter fraud determinate voter fraud and we worked on that and that's what i was doing and they were talking about after. well, nothing has to do with watch i left. it was during the time, and that was what they were really

focused on today during the appeal. they concede that and everybody concedes that and given the story at the time, there's absolute immunity so we'll see how it all works out. we have a great argument, we have an argument with a conceded two major points and it's probably a concession to ask the lawyer if he'd like to talk about it. but they conceded two points that i think were by normal standards, if it weren't me, that'd be the end of this case. but sometimes they look at me differently than they look upon others and it's very bad for our country. yesterday you saw in georgia there was an event where the district attorney is totally compromising the case that's going be dropped. they went after, i guess 18 employee that wanted to go after a lot of other people expected to go after senators. she was out of her mind.

now turns out that that case is totally compromised. in fact, they say she's in far more criminal liability than any of the people she's looking at. i think that when you look at what happened where they pay a lawyer with absolutely no experience, $700,000 and happens to be a lover or boyfriend then they go on trips and vacations together or expensive vacations together and the reason they pay them so much is he was after me. this way they can afford to pay them a lot more and passes certain tests and that's a very sad thing that happened in georgia. i would imagine that case would be dropped. every legal analyst i've spoken to and every legal analyst that i've read said that case is so compromised now and has to be dropped and very good people were very badly hurt by that case. it's a shame. very good people. people that did nothing wrong. they did nothing different than what democrats have been doing for years and years and years

whether it's slaves or anything else you're talking about, but they were very hurt and it turns out that she profited tremendously on that case. it's illegal, what she did was illegal. we'll let the state handle that. what a sad situation and i want to thank everybody for the fairness, we've been covered very fairly and most people agree we're entitled as a president to immunity. if you didn't have immunity, as example joe biden with the prosecutor, we're not going to give you a billion dollars unless you get rid of the prosecutor. that's after the company or son or whoever they're after. he wanted that prosecutor gone and on tape saying it or you can say the horrible job he's done at the border where our country is being destroyed or the horrible situation that took place. the lowest moment i think in the history of our country was afghanistan, the way we

withdrew, not that we withdrew but the way and with shame we surrendered. people killed 13 great soldiers killed and many unbelievably who riffically hurt, wounded, hurt. who riffically hurt and wounded and hundreds of people died and he could be prosecuted for that. you can't have a president without immunity. tough be able to do your job. if i wasn't given immunity, other presidents that we talked about today, president obama with the drone strikes, which were very bad. they were mistakes and terrible mistakes and can't have a president in that position. i think most people understand it and we feel very confident he'd eventually hopefully at this level and eventually we win. when a president has to have immunity, and the other thing is i did nothing wrong. we did nothing wrong. the investigation of the

election which was a rigged election and everybody knows it and just if you just look at they didn't use state legislatures, they didn't -- they went to the fbi and look at fb and i recollects twitter files with fbi and all of the horrible things that pfizer corp., the signed documents, lined and stuffing of the ballot boxes all on tape. stuffing of ballot boxes all on tape. government tape and most of the information as you know will give you some of the findings that just came out. but all of that information as you know was gotten from mostly government sources, government tapes and government files and government stat sos it's very sad when something like that happens and we wouldn't have inflation but much more importantly you wouldn't have had the ukraine situation and russia and not had the attack on israel. would have been much different

economy right now, a great economy, and we would be respected all over the world the way we were three years ago. so i want to thank everybody very much, and we think we have a very good day today. the concession of the two major points was pretty amazing and honestly i'm very glad they did it. i think they did the right thing. thank you very much. stuart: that was former president trump speaking at dc courthouse and running the gambler mutt of charges against him in -- gamut of charges against him in other cases saying it was a political prosecution with him across the board and christopher is with us and the common sense society. a name i enjoy using. chris, he says it's a political prosecution. what say you? >> i think it's pretty clear it's a political prosecution and something former presidents have not been held up to, including extremely unpopular ones and

something the democrats ran on doing. and smokers they've done and it kind of reminds me of how before 2016 election and maybe go o home for thanksgiving or christmas and argumenting on the target of whether the corporate media was liberal. they've now been exposed so much and same thing true for this, a lot of independent voters and other voters looking at prosecution of the voters and may have made his campaign largely about himself and as it turns out, seems to be truth about that. stuart: we were looking at the president there and he says, look, i think he looked rather humble and subdued. give me 30 seconds on that. has he learned his lesson on hammering people. joy don't know if the 80-year-old billionaires learn new tricks that much but i think the level of lawsuits he's going up against humbled him a little bit and taking them more seriously than in the past and

this is something with implications for him and office of the executive going forward in the country. stuart: chris, thank you for joining us. always appreciate it and we'll be back with more varney after this ♪ you can't buy great conversations or moments that matter, .. at t. rowe price our strategic investing approach can help you build the future you imagine. t. rowe price, invest with confidence.
