much higher than they were. they wonder if this man is up for the job for one more year let alone five. >> republicans in the house believe the president has enough specktive authority to change the situation overnight. return to policies of the prior administration of trump they were working. >> >> i believe in free trade and used tariffs in very effective ways or at least the threat of terrorists to get other countries to do things that american interests. >> they're going to tell us what we're supposed to be able to drive, how we eat, how we're supposed to travel and wear clothing. they're all in trying to control every aspect of our lives. >> okay, hold on. i'm coming. back with us this morning and it's 11:00 eastern time and monday, february 5. getting to markets properly. there's real action there.

stuart: nasdaq down 130 points and there's concern after powers interview after 60 minutes last night and we're getting fewer rate cuts than the market wanted and we have the inflation part of the ism report this morning and inflation ticking up and market doesn't like that at all. big tech lower and not many winners, alphabet and apple slightly higher, amazon, alphabet and meta on the downside. 10-year treasury yield going up and up some more at 4.15%. that hurts investors, that hurts nasdaq in particular. now this, new york city puts hundreds of migrant families into the roosevelt hotel. it costs around $200 a night for each family. okay, there's a new program which will give them prepaid credit cards to buy food and baby supplies and that program will cost $53 million. now look, this city is still

reeling from the beating of two new york city police officers by a group of migrant thugs. four of those arrested were released and were immediately bussed out of the city. can't be rearrested. one couldn't resist giving america the finger walking out of security this. city reached the boiling point and nationally voters clearly blame biden. on the border issue, latest nbc poll shows trump with a huge 57-22% advantage. now, okay, that's national politics and the individual choices we face when confronted by migrants begging in the streets. okay. yesterday i flew into newark airport and came outside and was approached by a woman asking for help. that was the moment when i had to decide what to do personally. look the other way or help someone clearly in need? i gave her enough money for a meal. to americas it was the right thing to co. that's on a personal human level. i understand that on another level it may encourage more migrants to come and perhaps

even more begging on the streets. this is a miserable situation and it's not going away. but we should understand who and what is to blame. sanctuary cities and states and almost all democrat run and invited them in and now all of us have to pay. new york da value vin bragg releases thugs that beat police officers and that's outage yous and original sin, biden and leftist crew opening the border and calling us all racist if we objected. i'm glad i gave money to that lady. but i'm mad as hell that biden let them in in the first place. what do you think? e-mail us, your point of view is valid to us. varneyviewers@fox.com. third hour of varney starts now. stuart: steve forbes with us this morning. the immediate question i would like you to answer, steve is should i -- did i do right by giving that lady money?

>> the answer is yes, but you also did the right conclusion, biden's to blame for the whole thing in the first place. take care of people in the meantime that they haven't addressed that the city is overwhelmed and see a particular case and real one not the professional ones that we see in new york that have street corners staked out like territory. this is the real thing. you co. then you try to take action. why are they there in the first place? stuart: think the biden failure to control the border will be his undoing in november this year? >> the answer is yes because it's become national. every state is experiencing it and cities experiencing in a way they haven't on a level ever before. yes, why did it happen? didn't happen under trump. happened under biden. he took the controls away and guess what happens. stuart: donald trump came out saying he'd consider more than 60% tariffs on chinese imports. watch this steve, roll tape.

>> now the washington post saying that you're talking about 60% in tariffs on chinese goods. is that in the cards? >> no, i would say maybe it's more than that because we're going to have -- look, i want china to do great and i like president xi a lot. he was a very good friend of mine during my term. stuart: steve, i think of viewers as a free trader and 60% imports. >> not sure i want friends like that but it's a disaster and will hurt china and hurt us. why are we punishing ourselves because of the sins of china? we want to take effective action against china and do more patrols about those military bases and illegal military bases they're building in the south china sea and real buildup of the military, especially super submarines and we are supposed to have 66 of these things only 30 are in operation today and those submarines capable of atomic mis missiles and only ren they're not invaded by the mainland and there's a deterrent there and serious about going and getting into china and don't

harm us on necessarily. stuart: he's using tariffs and threat of tariffs on china. jowski you don't approve of that? >> i think there's bet r ways to do it and i worry about talk about 10% tariff. remember, tariff is another word for sales tax and hearing 60% tariffs and they've ended up hurting the united states economy, raised the cost of materials and raised the cost of doing things, raises prices. overall less sales and even a particular company and overall the economy is hurt. if you want to go against china, do so in a way they respect and that is military power. stuart: got t steve forbes thanks for joining us on a monday morning. we have to get back to the market when the dow is close to

400 point loss and down 120 on the nasdaq as we speak. jason katz joining us this morning. jason, rates stay high till when? >> july. stuart: that's precise. certainly it's not marked, stu. odds are 75% and it's a second half of the year and investor haves to wake and you happen smell the coffee and fed means business. so while there was no big revelation out of the 60 minutes piece that pull had over the weekend, we reiterate what had we said over the week and higher for longer and say what they mean and mean what they say. why? a, they're going to be data dependent and b, inflation is moving in the right direction and need to seem cool. c, think about the ample cover they have. stocks are holding up today and notwithstanding and jobs are so strong. bottom line i would not hold your breath for any rate cut

until the summer. stuart: i see a strong economy at this moment and employment is strong, slight decrease in inflation and i see strength there but no recession. do you? >> you and me both. markets are refracting that sentiment. number one the fed may not cut any time soon but at least they're done raising and to your point, all arrows are pointing to the goldy locks outcome and a bathing innation and economy that's expanding. now, maybe we've pulled forward a lot of that in terms of the stock market but i do not see a hard landing in the equation. no sir. stuart: do you see a hard landing for the stock market? >> i don't either. i think that earnings will catch up to stock prices and stocks should buy in large hold in there. you have so much cash on the sideline. you have an economy that you have full employment so under

those circumstances, it's not a setup for a knockout dragout bear market. could we get a 5, 10% reprieve? sure we could. i don't think it'll be much worse than that. stuart: got t jason katz, thank you, sir. see you again real soon. lauren is looking at movers, and i really want to know about tesla. all kinds of things going on. lauren: selling off. 6.25% and wall street journal over the weekend reporting that elon musk, ceo, is doing a lot of drugs and the board members feel pressure to do those drugs and party with him. then oracle's larry ellison wants him to dry out. this is serious stuff and could cause them to head up at least five major companies and wall street news and piper sandler cut price together 220 and expect delivery this is year for tesla 1.93 million, which is a decline of double digits. stuart: tesla stock down 6%. that's a selloff today. lauren: lowest. stuart: humana, they're down,

why? lauren: poor medicare reimbursements and coupled with earnings and medical costs are skyrocketing and down today. stuart: novo nordisk. lauren: their parents are making injection pen company and the like. $6.5 billion is the price tag. popular weight loss and diabetic drugs are injectables and this is a way for them to increase production. stuart: i'm waiting for the pill version. lauren: much easier. stuart: it's coming along as i understand it. i'll do the pill. lauren: production of syringes and the like. stuart: novo nordisk is the most valuable in europe. lauren: imagine that. stuart: new study shows there's a link between smoking marijuana and asthma in children. do we understand the full impact of legalizing weed? i'll get to dr. marc siegle's opinion on that within.

stuart: the u.s. launched air strikes against the houthis over this weekend. it is the latest round of retaliation for the drone strike that killed three american soldiers. mark meredith at the white house, why did it take a week for the president to green light this kind of response? reporter: stu, some republicans are asking that same question up on the hill. good morning to you. u.s. officials say since friday evening, the military has been carrying out multiple retaliatory and self-defense strikes defense the iranian-backed militias in places like iraq, syria and yemen and no indication they'll stop soon. there's an update on the retaliation against the groups responsible for the deaths of three u.s. service members in jordan and we heard over top aids that vowed to keep the pressure on. >> the president doesn't want to see a broader conflict in the middle east, and we're not looking for a war with iran and i bet you the american people don't want that either. we'll do what we have to do to

hold them accountable. reporter: we've heard some democrats questioning whether or not the president has the authority to carry out the strikes but also those that believe that the white house was acting too little too late. >> these were not good strikes in iraq and syria, irgc, yemen. i would argue why telegraph this seven days in advance? that gave irgc time to move out of the area and take their assets and the success of the strikes while the targets may have been good, the success was not. reporter: there's a debate in congress on how to best proceed and the u.s. is working in consultation and cooperation with allies like uk, australia and new zealand and it'll take time and garner lot of worldwide attention and the president is in las vegas at this hour and see if he weighs in before heading back east today. stuart: mark, thank you very much indeed. national security adviser jake sullivan is not ruling out the possibility of u.s. strike

inside iran. roll tape. >> the president has approached with a straightforward principle, which is the united states will step up and respond when our forces are attacked and the united states also is not looking for a wider war in the middle east. we're not looking to take the united states to war. stuart: the lady on the right side is kt mcfarland and can i recollects t, welcome back to the show. is the administration doing the right thing with iran, kt? >> with iran specifically? we'll wait and see. right now they should have two objectives and one objective should be to destroy the military capability of the people attacking us. that's the people in yemen and iran, not in iran but iraq and syria. take those out. not just degrade by 30%, wipe them out. but second to change iran's

behavior and deter iran from increasing attacks and i don't see anything of what they're doing now, which is kind of a it for tat and i don't think it'll do anything. it may satisfy their political objectives in the united states but i don't think it does anything to alter iran's behavior or take out ability of bad guys to hit us. stuart: moving onto a different subject, kt, trump would consider more than 60% tariffs on chinese imports. now, trump's using trade as a weapon again here. is that legit, kt? it would hurt them as well as us. >> see, the key of donald trump's first term was that he understood that trade was a weapon and the chinese needed to export to us a lot more than we needed to buy from them. and so that's why he targeted the exports from china. now, china's economy needs exports even more now than they did five or six or seven years ago. it become as legitimate target and i think that president trump

understands. usually economic weapons and the problem with what we're talking about in iran right now in the middle east, we're not using economic weapon. we're just doing military tit for tat and use economic weapon and degrade enemy's ability to fight war by bankrupting them and donald trump understood that. now whether it's 60%, whether its targeted sanctions or this or that . it can be decided later and which industries you want to target. again, what are we not doing with regard to china? china controls the lithium market in the world, refining for 89% of refining and lithium essential for laptops and cell phones and technology. the united states has just discovered a mother load of lithium in the united states. what are we doing about it? we're not going to mine it. we're not going to produce it. why not make ourselves independent of china and the critical comply shanes? stuart: i understand that treasury officials on their way to china right now. are we beginning the economic

damps? sounds like it. >> the treasury officials going bounce to the chinese and they've shown the trump administration was nervous about the penalties and biden administration came in and released all that and there were no penalties to china. if another photo opportunity for u.s. treasuries for the biden administration. stuart: going to change the subject one more time with your permission and trump doubling down on promise of mass deportations of migrants. roll tape. >> it's not sustain and will we cannot allow scenes in new york that i saw three days ago where policemen are being beat up by gangs of illegal immigrants with michigan members from honduras and venezuela. these are tough people. the heads of these countries are smart.

they're not sending people that are doing a great job and that they love in the country. they're sending people for the most part that they don't want and they're putting them into caravans. stuart: can you see them deporting people by the millions? can you see that happening? >> we don't have a choice. you'll be able to do it and look at florida. florida says if you're an illegal, you can't get a job in florida. go some place else. i think there is a possibility to do it and it's essential. the illegal populations will bankrupt the united states. it's increased crime, it's increased social spending, it's taking away from other special spending in new york city and cuts down on cops so we can give illegal immigrants bank cards and free debit cards. the key of all of this is the democrats know exactly what they're doing. they don't want to stop that flow. they want millions more illegals than the united states giving them benefits and voting rights and elon musk said it best.

they're bringing in million more illegals and they'll give them voting rights and they'll have a permanent democratic majority. pretty simple, pretty scary. stuart: kt, thank you very joining us. three soucts, three and a half minutes. good going. thank you, kt. >> thanks, stu. stuart: you're welcome. man tat tan district attorney -- manhattan district attorney alvin bragg speaking out about the attack on nypd officers. ashley, what is mr. bragg saying? ashley: well, he's calling it a heinous act of violence. the da says his office is working with police to bring everyone responsible to justice. so far eight suspects have been arrested but bragg says some of the most culpable individuals have not yet been identified or taken into this custody. despite all the tough talk, four suspects were charged and released without bail. those suspects immediately skipped town, surprise surprise and reportedly fled to california, border patrol issued warrants for those men and

ignoring the irony and blahing will not rest till every person who assaulted the officers is held accountable. maybe setting bail and keeping the suspects in jail would be a good start. stu. stuart: not in new york. thanks, ash. coming up, one of the safest states in the nation saw the homicide rate nearly double since 2021. we'll break down what's behind the spike of violence in vermont. playing a instrument or singing could be key to help fighting off dementia. we'll see what doc siegle has to say about that. the doctor is next. ♪

about this but i'll tell you again, i don't see you being at risk at all. having said that, this is a study out of exitor looking at 1100 people for over a decade and published in international journal of geriatric >> i and very impressive that -- psychiatry and music play as big role in offsetting dementia and music lodges deep in your memory of your brain and you recall and like you said the beatles in nearby liverpool nearby where you grow up. i love the beatles and listen to them too. i think anything you do to keep your brain active and keep those memory cells flowing works whether it's using a computer, solving puzzles, staying in the game talking to people and if your hear asking working then you stave off dementia and hear people talking to you.

think of the brain as a muscle. stuart: that's good stuff. another new study and this finds a link in the marijuana use and asthma in teens. do we understand the full impact of legalized marijuana? the answer is no, and i'm so glad to see this study in 220,000 kids cause, stuart, 245 million kids in the united states have asthma. we've spent a lot of time correctly looking at impact of marijuana on the brain. what about the lungs? marijuana has tar too. it's not just cigarettes that have tar. marijuana has the same amount and plenty of chemocalycles and irritating the lungs of children with marijuana and that doesn't even get into account secondhand smoke from marijuana and kids have developing lungs and what do lungs do? they cilia that work like vacuum

cleaners that are cleaning out the lungs and last thing is the input of tar and smoke. stuart: new research suggests that children consuming energy drinks more prone to mental health disorders. what do you make of that, doctor? >> this is out of the united kingdom and great research and this one looked at 1.2 million people and i actually have a little issue because you know what energy drinks have, they're loaded with sugar and they're loaded with caffeine. over 21-gram was sugar in an energy drink. which is the chick and which is the egg here? is the energy drink causing this problem? one thing it social security bad for you and increases risk of problem withs attention with the

sugar and maybe hype focuses you with caffeine but this stuff needs to be under the supervision of physicians so the take home here is that energy drinks are bad for you and your attention and cause depression and anxiety. anxiety. stuart: preventing people under the age of 16 from acquiring energy drinks, would you go that far? >> no, i don't like leg rations and you -- regulations and you know it. i like parents and i think parents have to understand that you're drinking coffee in the morning and kid is drinking energy drinks. energy drinks are even worse than coffee. that's my message. parents, not government. stuart: when i was a youngster, my mom told me you can't have coffee because it'll stopt your growth. any truth in that at all? >> no, coffee is good and has anti-oxidants and didn't stunt your growth, stuart. you weren't about to be 6'5, come on.

stuart: that's true, i'm 5'8 on a good day. all right, doctor. this is cool, this was fun. come again soon and we'll talk through some more new studies. got you, see ya. >> good seeing you. stuart: this has made a big splash on the internet and man is getting a lot of attention online for only eating raw chicken. he says he's going to do it every day until he gets sick. come on, ashley, why is he doing this? ashley: because he's a madman desperate for attention. back to you, stu. actually the influencer known only as john racked up more than 8 million views on instagram videos which show him eating the uncooked meat in various styles. in one he can be sc seen washina raw chicken breast down with a cup of raw eggs and the man started eating raw chicken to ease complaints including back pain and disneyness. i kid you -- dizziness, i kid you not and will continue till he gets a stomach ache.

eating raw chicken doesn't cure anything and could be fatal with a number of deadly bacteria like listeria, salmonella e. coli and all those lovely things and 1 in every 25 ballings of chicken at grocery store are contaminated with salmonella and in other words he's playing russian roulette, stu. stuart: what was your first reaction when you saw and heard this story? mine was, oh, no, how can you possibly eat raw chicken. that's what i said. ashley: yeah, i said disgusting and then i said he's going to kill himself. stuart: you think? salmonella? he could. ashley: i've had salmonella and was in the hospital for a week in england and you don't stay in the nhs ward for a week unless you're sick. it was awful. stuart: where is this guy? america, australia? america? ashley: i don't know. ashley: apparently he's american. only in america. ashley: there you government stuart: ashley, we're going to

at first she thought it was a mistake, but it wasn't an error n. fact insurance agents and experts are partly blaming the rise in carjackings and thefts for the higher prices. here in dc scar jackings almost almost doubled and sixth straight year they've increased and not just a washington dc problem and latest insurance from crime bureau show crime left up double digit percentages in chicago, philly, and san francisco metro areas. joe people injured in the carjackings and increase medical costs and repair co costs and happens when someone steal as part from your vehicle. reporter: higher insurance prices are the lesotho the concern for police and frankly people who live in these cities.

drugs and god knows what else. stuart: minority leader on new york city council. does the majority of this council approve what's going on? >> deeper than that, since 1989, city enacted first sanctuary city policy executive order and 2011, 2014, 2017, 2022, we've enacted more and more local laws that just enhance the rights, the privileges, expectations and the liberties against people like the customs and border protection for people who are here illegally. stuart: this is outrageous. joe borelli, thank you for coming for the true picture. appreciate it, joe. thank you very much. it is that time, monday trivia question, of course this is absolutely vital to human understanding: how many minutes can a blue whale hold its breath? 45, 60, 75, 90 minutes? the answer when we return.
