deserted. lauren: you just asked me if i was alive to remember this song. stuart: yes, and you weren't alive, were you? lauren: otherwise i look really good, if i was. stuart: it is 11:00 eastern time on this monday, january 29. check the markets, please. not that much price movement today. we've got all these big earnings reports coming up later in the week and i surveillances that's putting a lid on price movement dow is down 30, nasdaq is up 13 that's it. show me big tech. these are people who are going to be reporting this week. i've got meta, microsoft, amazon up, alphabet down slightly and the 10 year treasury yield have been coming down still coming down 410 is the yield right now, and now this. california governor gavin newsom really really wants to be the president, but he just can't come right out with it, because the sitting president is standing for re-election, so, is that a challenging biden directly, he appears as biden's

greatest supporter. he's playing the good soldier. what he's really doing is waiting for the inevitable moment when our aging president steps aside and the democrats scramble for a replacement. there he is, young, handsome and dynamic gavin newsom. he's certainly saying all the rye things about biden. he told abc out we have the best three-year record of any modern american presidency. that's laughable. california is a border state. biden has no polling record on the border. newsom also says "its been hard globally these last six or seven years but again america stands tall, the tent pole." laughable again. notice how he goes back six or seven years to suggest that trump was at fault. that's wrong. our foreign policy went haywire three years ago with the chaotic retreat from afghanistan. if he ever does replace biden at the top of the ticket he will be challenged with what he's done with california, homelessness,

fentanyl crime, oh, yeah and california as a sanctuary state. hard to get out of all of that but in the next couple of months , gavin newsom will be the president's most-loyal surrogate. he will be the leading non- candidate until the president's condition forces the democrats to usher him out. august 19, the democrats convention in chicago, an ideal time to slide in the young, handsome and dynamic gavin newsom. third hour of "varney" starts now. the gentleman on the right hand side of the screen who doesn't know he's on yet but he does know now that's charlie hurt. is newsom just waiting in the wings? >> good morning, stu. stuart: do you agree with me, waiting in the wings? >> yeah, i think, yeah, i think he definitely is but what i think is really interesting here and your take just reminded me of. you know, democrats missed, i think, a far better opportunity

which is by destroying dean phillips in new hampshire by holding a fake election in new hampshire because i would argue that dean phillips, if democrats really wanted to look for somebody who was a lot more impressive than joe biden which you don't have to look very far to find somebody more impressive than joe biden but somebody not a lying greaseball with a terrible terrible record as governor of california, they be far better off with dean phillips and so i'm kind of amused that they've decided to kill him in the crib, kill his campaign in the crib, and then set themselves up for this terrible terrible convention where they're kind of stuck with joe biden for right now, but i know they're looking for an alternative. stuart: your description of gavin newsom i think will be on video tape forever. it'll go viral at some point, believe me. >> i hope so. stuart: i know you do. congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez aoc thinks that

biden needs to do more than just attack trump if he wants to win more votes. watch this , charlie. roll tape. >> do you think in this very moment president biden is doing a good enough job explaining to voters why they should vote for him and not just against former president trump? >> i think we can certainly do more to be advancing our vision, and i believe that we have a strong vision that we can run on , but i believe that we can be doing more. stuart: charlie, she wants to push the president into a far left agenda. i mean, really far left stuff. you think that would work? >> yeah, you can see how she's fleeced as well as she has so far, because of course this president has given her everything she's wanted. open borders. she's turned america into a sanctuary country because of her urging him to do it. you remember, joe biden, there was a time when joe biden was sort of viewed as a moderate, but everything from the open

borders to aiding and a betting hamas and other terrorists around the world like iran to his monetary policy, to the fact that he is violating the supreme court in order to pay millions of dollars to wealthy universities like harvard, to pay off student debt. all of these things are policies that the far left has pushed and joe biden just completely took it all, hook, line, and sinker. i do think she's smart, she's wise to recognize that he's los ing, and at this point, i don't see how a guy like him can win but the idea she's trying to push him even farther to the left, as if he hasn't already gone as far to the left as you could possibly go, and i think it's going to come back and haunt him in november. stuart: i think you've enjoyed yourself this morning, charlie, i really do. >> always nice to start a monday with you. stuart: [laughter] i'm glad you like it. charlie we'll see you soon, i trust. we've got to get to the markets.

got to deal with how your money started the week and jason katz is here to help us. i've got a broad-ranging big picture question for you first of all. are we going to get to 5,000 on the s&p this year? are we going to get to 40,000 on the dow this year? take your time. >> so those are year-end target s. the problem is that we're probably going to get there sooner than later. why is that a problem? well, you have the fear of missing out trade kicking in. you have a disproportion at amount of cash on the sidelines where people fear like they're missing out and so when you go too far, too fast, at some point , it comes home to roost. i would submit to you that if we get there sooner than later, specifically with the s&p and the nasdaq, i'd be prepared to dial back and take some profits. with respect to the dow, however , which is more value- tilted, i'd let that run because the valuation disparity

there is just far too compelling stuart: so if we get to those levels quickly, you would say take a little profit, but you're not saying, we're never going to get to 5,000 by the end of the year. we're never going to get to 40,000 by the end of the year. you're not saying that are you? >> i think we are going to get there. if it's a bee line that's where i'm concerned. look, the fed and the latter part of the year will deliver on two rate cuts. i think earnings with a 10% year-over-year earnings growth forecast, that's not insurmountable. this is a big week. one-third of the s&p market cap is going to report and i think they're going to deliver and i know that they said earlier it's the buy the rumor sell the news. i agree they will shake out the weak hands but earnings should deliver, inflation should get within striking distance of the fed's target so i do think 40k on the dow and 5,000 on the s&p is not if, but when, but be careful if it happens in the next few weeks. stuart: oh, yeah, i'll be very

careful. i'd love to see it in the next few weeks, but we'll see how it goes. jason katz thank you very much indeed, sir. all right, lauren is looking at the movers and one is meta, up another 1%, nearly at 400. lauren: it hit 400 moments ago. speaking of the s&p getting to 5,000, i mean, meta is putting in a nice performance to help that. so jefferies says meta is going to 455 a share, they report on thursday and they are expected to say that their profits rose 67% from a year ago and i just want to point out that this is a company that is 20 years old. facebook turns 20 in 2024. that's how long its been around. stuart: their proper ifs are up 67% in the last year. momentarily on to tesla. it's moving up today. not back. lauren: you have 3.25% gain after this company lost one- quarter of its value this month, okay? you have the cyber truck doing a tour of china, eight chinese cities that could drum up some demand, big catalyst, and tesla

also came out and said they expect to spend less. not this year but in 2025 and 2026, so maybe some control. stuart: but you could expect a bounce for tesla after it lost a quarter of its value in a matter of weeks? lauren: yeah, and elon lost his position as the world's richest man to bernard arnau in that process. i don't think they kara monk amongst themselves. stuart:i-robot. lauren: do you have one? stuart: no. lauren: do you know anybody who has one? stuart: no. lauren: what about you, jason? stuart: no. lauren: the stock is down 10.5%, they are planned $1.4 million merger deal with amazon is kaput , because the eu anti- trust authorities would not greenlight it. it didn't appear that amazon was really trying to get it. they didn't offer any remedies and like 350 i-robot jobs are cut. stuart: the europeans drive me nuts interfering in our line of business. we have a young european in the

studio and i said that just for him. lauren: he's still smiling. stuart: coming up, a man who beat a -- wait a second. lauren: it's a hard story. stuart: it is. a man who beat a toddler to death could soon be walking free in california, but gavin newsom could step in and stop his release. will he? we'll tell you the story. the biden cafe reportedly creating its own avengers to push the president's re-election effort. they want obama and bill clinton to drum up support. president biden says we will respond after attack in jordan left three u.s. service members dead. we'll have a member of the senate arms services committee what that response should be. senator dan sullivan is next. ♪ sofi is helping me get my money right

stuart: president biden says the u.s. shall respond, his words, after an iran-backed group killed three u.s. service members in a drone attack on a base, a u.s. base in jordan. jennifer griffin joins me. today is defense sebaceous lloyd austin's first day back in the pentagon in more than a month. how is he responding to this attack? reporter: well, stu, first before we get to that, a u.s. defense official confirms to us that they now know how this iranian proxy drone got through the air defenses at the tower 22 base where the u.s. troops were sleeping. the defense system thought it was a u.s. drone that was supposed to return to the base at about the same time and that is how the iranian proxy drone got into the base. it was first reported by the "wall street journal" but

now confirmed by fox news. we are also getting the first indications of who may have been behind the drone attack that killed three u.s. troops while they were sleeping in their barracks, injuring 34, eight of whom had to be metavacced to germany. president biden said the u.s. will respond. sunday's attack was the 160th attack by iranian proxy forces targeting u.s. troops in iraq, syria and now jordan. the islamic resistance movement, one of iran's proxies in iraq, called on u.s. troops to "leave today before tomorrow" adding " the resistance fighters mock them" and the u.s. you'll remember killed a leader of the group on january 4 in a drone strike in baghdad. iran's intelligence minister tried to denied his country's involvement in the attack sunday on u.s. troops. >> look, the resistance in the region takes action against america's aggressive presence based on its own decisions and

policy. it abouts, based on what it deems. reporter: we just heard from defense secretary lloyd austin for the first time. it's his first day back on-the-job here in the pentagon since undergoing surgery for prostate cancer. as he was meeting with nato secretary general stoltenberg. >> let me start with my outrage and sorrow for the death of three brave u.s. troops in jordan and for the other troops who were wounded. the president and i will not tolerate attack on u.s. forces and we will take all necessary actions to defense the u.s. and our troops. now, at this important time, i'm glad to be back at the pentagon. i feel good, and am recovering well, but still recovering. reporter: the iranian proxy drone hit u.s. troops while they were sleeping in their barracks at this small outpost known as

tower 22 where 350 american troops are stationed providing logistical support to the american special forces, based across the border in syria. part of the counter-isis fight, the outpost has been there since 2015 and is strategically located where jordan, syria, and iraq come together. chairman of the joint chiefs general cq brown spoke in an interview taped before this attack. >> we want to ensure that we take away capability while we protect our forces. at the same time, not have this brought into a much wider conflict. reporter: now, it will be up to the president and the pentagon present him with targets and whether those targets will be inside iran. stuart? stuart: jennifer, thank you very much indeed. senator dan sullivan, republican from alaska and member of the arms services committee joins me now. mr. senator, how should we respond to these attacks? to this specific attack? should we go after the proxy

forces themselves or directly attacking iran? >> well, stuart, i think it's important to go after iran, and it's because they're behind all of these attacks. remember, they fund hamas, they hundred hezbollah, they fund the houthis, they train all of them and what we really need to do is have a much broader strategy of reestablishing deterrence and think about the biden appeasement policy with regard to iran has not worked. the broader context here, the trump administration came in and they did something really hard. they reestablished deterrence. they did that through massive sanctions, against iranian oil & gas regime. they did that against taking out key leaders like soulemani, they pulled out out of the iran nuclear deal but also launched a very important peace initiative, the abraham accords so that was working. by the end of the trump administration, the iranians had about 4 billion in foreign reserves which is not a lot, as

you know. now they have about 70 billion in foreign reserves because the biden administration is literally undone all of what the trump administration has done so they need to reimpose that kind of deterrence. stuart: donald trump says he blames president biden for the deadly drone strike. he wrote on truth social, i'm quoting "this brazen attack on the united states is yet another horrific and tragic consequence of joe biden's weakness and surrender." he's blaming biden's weakness. are you on board with that? >> 100% i agree with what president trump. the weakness that was shown first with the botched withdrawal in afghanistan was a signal, but when they look to reestablish deterrence, they need to base it on what the trump administration with strong support from republicans was doing. like i said, kinetic action where appropriate against iranian targets that hurt iran's leadership. not their civilians, but then

also, non-kinetic action like massive sanctions against their energy sector. that hits them where it hurts and then something else that the trump administration did that the biden administration is dog the exact opposite of, un leashing the power of american energy and rebuilding our military. stuart: you're referring to the energy? the lng exports. >> absolutely. can you believe the biden administration sent last week where we need american energy. our allies need american energy. by the way, as you know, stuart, when you export clean, burning lng, it helps the environment. helps reduce emissions. what they announced last week was a lose, lose, lose, pandering to the far left empowering putin. he's going to benefit from that ban on lng and it hurts the environment, hurts our workers so back to what we were doing during the trump administration with strong republican support in the senate stuart: you are a marine colonel for 30 years in the reserves.

>> active in the reserves. stuart: you just retired. >> i did. stuart: give me 30 seconds on your experience. >> well, i will tell you, you know, i'm so proud to be alaska 's junior united states senator but the proudest title i ever earned in my life is united states marine and the men and women, i had the ability to command, learn from, and the marine corps' commitment to excellence. it'll be with me forever even though i just retired after 30 years. stuart: would you hang with me for just two minutes while i segway to another story which is of note to you. the navy is lowering its standards again to enlist new recruits. ashley? are we talking about lowering the educational standards required in the navy? ashley: yes, we are. the u.s. navy going to start to enlist applicants now who have not graduated from high school or even obtained a ged. the new plan will allow recruits to enlist as long as they score

a 50 or above out of 99 on the qualification test. now, the navy says it turned away more than 2,400 potential recruits last year because they lacked an education credential. the navy, this is the reason, the navy is failing to meet its recruitment goals but the move to lower entry standards is risky and is being rejected by other branches of the military but the navy says look, we have to make the move in order to grow the pool of potential recruits and meet the demands of the service. stu? stuart: thanks, ashley. mr. senator, do you see a problem with this? >> look it's a broader problem, stu. a lot of the services, the army is not hitting its recruitment targets. we have a volunteer force, right we need people to volunteer for the military. i will say the marine corps has continued to hit its targets and i think the other services could learn from the marines. you focus on high standards. you focus on lethality. you focus on people why they

want to join the military which is to defend our nation. all of the other stuff, which is , you know, some of it's this woke focus, is not the way to attract the best and brightest americans that we have and we certainly have the best and brightest in my view in the u.s. military. stuart: understood and i've got to leave it there. >> thank you. stuart: yes, sir. homeless people were found living in caves in the streets of a california town, or river bank actually. some of those caves were fully furnished. one woman lives across the street from them and we're going to put her on the show and ask her, what did you see? we'll be back. ameritrade is now part of schwab. bringing you an elevated experience, tailor-made for trader minds. go deeper with thinkorswim: our award-wining trading platforms.

stuart: all the big tech earnings reports come out later this week, as we wait for those reports, the stock market in the doldrums dow down near 7 points looking at big tech right now. couple of winners, meta and microsoft. how about the 10 year treasury? the yield has been going down it's down a bit more today 410 right now. bitcoin we priced it just under 42000 bucks a few moments ago. now it's just under $43,000 and now this. a man who beat a toddler to death in california, back in the year 2000, will soon walk free. ashley? could governor gavin newsom block his release?

ashley: yes, he could, but this is a horrible story. this is why it's generating headlines. in 2002, 49-year-old patrick goodman was convicted of killing his girlfriend's three-year-old son who suffered absolutely horrific injuries. goodman got a sentence of 25 years to life in prison but with the possibility of parole. at the time, the prosecutor vowed to keep goodman behind bars for the rest of his life. the state officials recently did approve his parole and that has sparked a lot of outrage. governor newsom is being urged to overrule the parole board because of the facts of the case , and critics say reviews should also be conducted on whether officials on the parole board are qualified to do their jobs. a spokesperson for newsom said simply the case will be reviewed carefully. stu? stuart: thanks, ash. staying in california. homeless people were discovered living in caves 20 feet below street level in modesto in

california. just outside of sacramento. tracy arojas joins me. these caves are just out of the street from your house. did you know homeless people were living there? >> we knew there was homeless people in the area and we knew they camped out along the river bed, but we had no idea that they had actually dug caves out into the side of the river bank and were living in them. stuart: i understand there was some of these caves had furniture in them. is that accurate? >> that is. they had a recliner in that particular cave that you're looking at, clothes, bedding, electricity, hooks on the wall for packets. there was food. it looked like a makeshift apartment, if you will stuart: isn't it dangerous that you dig out a hole and a cave inside a river bank? all kinds of things can happen. it's very dangerous isn't it? >> well that was my main concern. you know, the homeless issues are all over the nation but this

was beyond just a homeless camp where they have a tent and they're just visually an annoyance. this is a safety issue. if this cave were to collapse, i mean, right above this cave i walk my dogs, children play, they ride their bikes. all we need is a good rain storm to loosen up the dirt on top of this cave and it could completely collapse, not only on the homeless but the people above the ground. it's very dangerous. stuart: do you know if people have gone back into the caves? i know that they tried to clean them out, but are they back in? >> within less than 24 hours after the first broadcast, it was already populated again, and i can look out my window out of my home office, which looks directly across the street and you can see them coming all night, throughout the night. they're still back there. they put up some temporary plastic fencing with a sign that says, you know, "don't come here " and safety. people just walk over them and

around them and they've already repopulated that area. stuart: who do you blame for the homeless crisis? >> it's not a matter of blame. it's a national problem that has just gotten out of control. i mean, some people are saying oh, it's the democrats. they're doing this or it's the republicans. it's not a political issue. it's a humanitarian issue that's affecting people nationwide, but this is taking it too far. this is dangerous. it's not a tent on the side of the freeway. this is across my house where children play and people congregate on a regular basis to have events and things like that people have barbecue over there. stuart: what do you want to see done? >> i want the city to take it serious. i want the city to actually invest some effort in having more patrolling, better lighting we have a very minimal police presence in our neighborhood and that really needs to be ramped up at this point.

the city of modesto officials really need to take this serious and put some effort into strategizing how to move this forward and clear up this security issue. stuart: tracy, thank you very much indeed for being on the show today to tell us exact ly what it is like. we appreciate it and we would love to have you back. >> thank you, stuart. stuart: sure thing. 19 people charged in a massive drug ring that spanned across the west. it was a network, all the way from east-to-west. what's the story, ashley? ashley: yeah, the drug ring operated from california to south carolina, in fact. police say 19 suspects have been charged for shipping more than 255 packages of drugs including cocaine, crack cocaine, methamphetamine, fentanyl and marijuana. the investigation revealed that what was going on, members of the group, were flying to california having the drugs shipped back to the rock hill and charlotte area in south carolina, where they were

distributed to local dealers including pills that were laced with that deadly fentanyl. 17 of the 19 defendants have already plead guilty to their involvement and three have been convicted at trial. just another example of how these things operate. stu? stuart: got it. thanks, ash. coming up president biden is facing criticism from all sides on his immigration policies. republicans say he's leaving the border wide open. democrats say he is as inhumane as trump. we've got a report on that. new york magazine says despite biden's dismal approval and constant gaffs, there's four reasons his odds of winning are better than you think. we'll tell you what those reasons are, next. ♪

stuart: again, not that much price movement on the market. slight upside move there. the big tech companies start their earnings reports tomorrow, and that should make the market move. the biden campaign ramping up its attacks on trump. some critics though don't think that's enough to bring in new democrat voters. mike emmanuel joins us. the biden camp is now calling in some reinforcements. okay, mike, like who? >> yeah, stu. the idea is bringing out big name democrats for a fundraiser that the biden campaign hopes would generate headlines and raise a whole lot of money. nbc was first to report a first of its kind fun raiser featuring former president's bill clinton and barack obama, alongside president biden. the hope being it would also fire up democratic voters who have not shown much enthusiasm for biden-harris 2024. president biden was out on the campaign trail in south carolina this weekend. the president went after the former president and tried to excite his base there.

>> you're the reason donald trump is a loser and you're the reason we're going to win and beat him again. >> [applause] >> former president trump was out campaigning over the weekend in nevada. he mocked biden's lack of stamina at age 81. >> his speeches last for about three minutes because, you know, his gasoline sort of runs out a little bit. >> [laughter] >> a little bit like an electric car. >> the current president is taking heat from the progressive left, demand calling foresees- fire in the middle east that could hurt him in michigan with a large arab-american population. progressive support for biden is expressed compared to other democrats in the race. >> especially when we look at this field, we have dean phillip s and mary ann williamson , president biden, i think, without question, among that field, is the strongest nominee. >> that luke warm comment may

be reflective of the enthusiasm problem polling suggests exists on the democratic side right now. stu? stuart: the enthusiasm gap. it's wide, isn't it? mike emmanuel thank you very much indeed. check out this headline. it's in the new york magazine. very left-leaning by the way. four reasons biden's 2024 odds may be better than you think. ashley? take us through the four reasons , please. ashley: very good. well, all right despite the poll s and questions about his mental acuity, this does indeed argue that there are four reasons for guarded optimism in the biden camp. number one. biden's likeliest opponent is also unpopular meaning the election will hinge on a comparison of character rather than biden's performance in the white house. that's number one. number two. biden may be a bit more popular with actual voters. in other words, biden's job approval numbers may slightly exaggerate his unpopularity among the americans who will

actually vote in november. uh-huh, okay. number three. the economic vibes may be improving. there are some signs that voters may finally acknowledge that the economy is not as bad as they thought. consumer sentiment has jumped 29 % in the last two months and number four. trump's legal troubles may have a big impact. his legal troubles may have boosted his popularity in the m aga because but there are arguments they are much more likely to hurt him than help him among general election swing voters and there you have the four reasons according to that article. stu? stuart: there's one more for you , ash. nikki haley has committed to staying in the republican primary through super tuesday. why is her plan for after super tuesday, ash? ashley: yeah, good question. she won't say if she's still going to be in the race by the time the port lackeys nomination nateing convention rolls around in july but here is

what she told meet the press on nbc. watch. >> yes or no. are you in this race through the convention, beyond super tuesday, yes or no? >> as long as i keep growing per state i am in this race. >> through the convention. >> through super tuesday, we're going to keep on going and see where this gets us. i take it one state at a time. i don't think too far ahead. i'm not going anywhere. ashley: i'm not going anywhere. hayley says she doesn't need a win in south carolina to keep her campaign alive but she is gunning for a stronger performance than she had in new hampshire. stu? stuart: all right, ashley, this is where we show the dow 30 as we always say, to get a sense of the market. here we go. i'm looking at about one-third up. the rest of them down. the dow is at 38, 116. now this. president biden's billion dollar plan to fund college prep

allow speedy access for those who deserve to be here reporter: over the weekend, texas wrote to let the administration know they are going to continue to find federal orders to stop laying razor wire across the southern border. texas attorney general ken paxton writes this office will continue to defend texas' efforts to protect its southern border against every effort by the biden administration to undermine the state's constitutional right of self- defense, and the texas lt. governor explaining why a little bit further. >> we put up the wire. we put up containers and guess what? a few months ago, 3,000 were crossing a day, maria. today, zero. zero. yesterday when i left around 4:00 in the afternoon, so we know what we're doing in texas works. reporter: it's very unlikely that this president, or any president, would come out at this point in a term to say, my border plan hasn't been working, but president biden is saying now for the first time he would

shut the border is completely different than what he's said as a candidate. the people who wanted to come to the united states should surge the border. the exact quote from a 2019 debate is "we are a nation who says if you want to flee and you're freeing oppression, you should comet. now it, i will close the border if i can. stu? stuart: quite a turnaround. peter doocy, thanks so much. biden's ed: handout, would go to illegal migrants. the proposal would let biden spend $1.2 billion on illegal immigrants each year so they can prep for college. angela moravato wrote that and he joins me right now. where would that money come from >> it comes from federal taxpayers, stuart and what we're talking about here is really the biden administration's latest scheme to put americans last. he's looking at changing the eligibility for something

called the trio programs which cost us $1.2 billion a year and they are designed to help people from low income families get to college and succeed in college. so it's a great mission, but it's a very expensive and we're looking at a situation where if you're a middle class american taxpayer, your dollars are going to this but your children would not be eligible. stuart: okay, i understand that not all migrants are eligible but how big is the group that wobble inable? are we talking tens of thousands of migrants? >> oh, for sure. it's potentially massive , because the trio programs look at whether someone is a first generation college student. they look at, in some cases, if it's a student with disabilities they also look in many cases, and this is the most prevalent one, for low income students, and most children brought here illegally will fit one or two of those categories. a lot of americans don't, so while trio has this great mission of helping kids to get

to college we're looking at using american tax dollars to help illegal immigrants get to something that is out of reach for many american kids. stuart: it's not actual college tuition that's being paid. it's preparation for college. what's that like? >> that's correct. so these programs provide mentor ships, financial counsel ing, all kinds of help to get these students to college, and you're correct that right now, illegal migrant students are not eligible for title iv federal financial aid. i say that now because we look at the direction in which the biden administration is going. as a former department of education press secretary, i can tell you that all signs point to more and more policies that privilege people illegal immigrants over americans themselves. this is the biden playbook. it's pursue a policy that's very very radical. do it through regulatory scheme and hope nobody will notice, and then use that to appease a far

left bench. stuart: angela, thank you very much for joining us and exposing a very interesting story. much appreciated. come back and see us soon. >> thank you, stuart. stuart: check the markets please we've got some green, dow is up 5, nasdaq up 45. take one more look at big tech. earnings season is about to kickoff for them. starts tomorrow basically, and we've got all of them walking up towards their earnings report and moving higher, except apple, which is down $1.70 at $1.90. here it is the monday trivia question.
