stuart: white room, cream, one of the great rock bands in history, eric clapton, ginger baker, can from a the third guy but there are three of them. when i was in london i walked past the building and there was graffiti, clapton is god. he saw it too. it is 10:00 eastern, straight to the money. not much price movement so far today. the dow is up 14, nasdaq up 10, s&p is down one point. 10 year treasury yields moving the up, $4.14 on the 10 year at the moment creeping up today. the price of oil not much change, $75 a barrel, bitcoin, 45,000 one hundred 29 as we speak. the markets, and now this. today, president biden addresses democrat party
10:02 am
retreat, he paints good news. there's chaos among republicans in congress, makes him and the democrats look good. the border bill is dead. killed by senate republicans and donald trump. mitch mcconnell's leadership is in question. the wall street journal says the death of the border deal is at bottom a blood he minded operation by donald trump and his allies to flaunt border chaos through november and if possible bring down senator mcconnell as gop senate leader. and pc reports biden may jump in with executive orders to stem the migrant flow. he takes the action republicans want him to take and he takes the credit. he will try to grab the migrant issue away from the chaotic republicans. the sinking of the border bill meant the sinking of aid to ukraine and israel. the democrats will vote on a new bill with money and weapons for both and it will likely pass. think of that. biden and the democrats stepping in to help our allies,
10:03 am
bypassing the republican disaster. this couldn't have come at a better time for the president. he is down in the polls and in cognitive decline and then there's the failed impeachment of alejandro mayorkas. the republicans have been building up to this for months and it failed at the last minute. you don't think biden will have fun with that? couldn't have come at a better time for the president. 's campaign needs a lift, down in the polls and then long, republicans like mana from heaven. a gift from the gop. second hour of varney just getting started. jason chaffetz with us this thursday morning. i see this republican chaos as a gift to biden. how do you see it? >> normally i agree with you but you got this one totally
10:04 am
wrong. democrats have the house and senate and president for two years and didn't do anything on immigration. president biden and kamala hurst told us for the last three years the border is secure, everything is fine. they have operational control, 212 democrats voted against the impeachment of mayorkas and as relates to the border bill, h are 2 was passed by the republicans last year, democrats have done nothing on it. and so i totally disagree. the fundamental problem is president biden is still president biden, kamala harris is talk and z mayorkas is there and nobody believes the guy because he has lost absolute respect in washington dc. they don't like and respect him. stuart: hold on a second. in bc reports and there are other reports the president is going to use executive action, executive orders, go down to
10:05 am
the border and mitigate the follow. he will get the credit for that. it's a republican idea but he gets the credit, he takes the action and the public may see it that way. >> the presence of the president going to the border after years of not going there. stuart: he's not going to go to the border, his going to take action. executive action. can't get the legislation, he takes executive action. the public will give him credit for that surely. >> if he actually does something. the problem is you've got 10 million migrant still here. are still going to have mayor adams and gavin newsom and everything else, where's the money, how are we going to take care of these people, you still week after week see crime after crime after crime and say guess what, mister president, you did what donald trump had done, you reversed it, then realized three years after the fact that what you did was wrong and now you are going back to the trump policies. meanwhile we have all the
10:06 am
crime, all the expense, all the problems and at least the republicans were trying to do it and, the democrats own the white house, they own the senate. they have slightly a minority in the house. you can't just excuse that. when you have 212 democrats voting against the impeachment they also voted no. you can't put all the blame on the republicans. mitch mcconnell, you are right. he has been slothful and is not a good leader at this point. done amazing things throughout his career but at this point we need a new dynamic leader in the senate. stuart: we will agree to disagree and we will see how this plays out. i will change the subject. listen to what hillary clinton said about keeping trump off the ballot in colorado. >> there's a very strong argument, this argument did not come from liberals, didn't come from people already against trump at all.
10:07 am
it came from conservative originalists as they like to call themselves, law professors, lawyers, who basically said if you read section 3 of the fourteenth amendment it is pretty clear that he should not be permitted to run for president. stuart: the supreme court is hearing this case as of right now. they started 6 minutes ago. shouldn't it be up to the voters to decide who they want for president into they can vote for? >> i don't think any court is going to look favorably on the idea of taking away the right to vote especially in colorado they won't let you write in donald trump and won't count those folks. i think it's absurd. hillary clinton is obviously deranged, she's got trump derangement syndrome, she's probably the definition of it but voters get to make these decisions. that's paramount in this country and the justices will see it that way as well. stuart: they better because they kick trump off the ballot
10:08 am
there will be hell to pay as we used to say. can't imagine what will happen. >> there we agree. stuart: harmony at last, see you soon. back in with lauren, more bad economic news for china. lauren: they have disinflation, might as well call it deflation, there cpi fell in january from a year ago. steepest drop since 2009, 15 years in a week consumption and week factory production in china. there manufacturing is contracting. what is president xi do? has to confront an economy that has not recovered from the covid lockdown. consumers are skeptical, nervous, sorry investors, afraid stuart: if they are in such bad shape i wonder if president biden will use that language. we will see. the gentleman sitting right next to me is gary countdown. he is breaking new york city.
10:09 am
you've done well with big tech, very well indeed. are you sticking with it? >> yes until it croaks. there's a rhyme and reason. this ai which has a lot of doubters on longevity. every company reporting is reporting big time increases in acceleration in sales, the latest on holdings today. i'm depressed. i don't on it. i will wait for earnings. they gap up. i think it's going much higher. before that, taiwan semiconductor whose sales have been down announces 25% increase, you had supermicro, gargantuan increase, nvidia, game is on. until it stops i go with it and on top of that, microsoft which i bought right off of the 380 breakdown, 412 right now, that's going to be slower than others because it's so big, just another name and we will ride it until it stops.
10:10 am
stuart: how do you play this? 1 microsoft and trade a lot. it's gone right up. do you put a top loss in so that if it starts to fall you are out in good time? >> we tend to measure how far, how fast, we bought nvidia perfectly at 505, still own it at 705 right now, sold down a little bit. the main position in the same goes for broad, another name also. just in case they decide to go up one hundred% this ai thing, nobody really knows how big it's going to be, all i can tell you is right now the institutions, big mutual funds, hedge funds are jumping all over the stocks right now. until it stops i let them roll. there will be a time and place it ends up paying one dollar and $0.50 for a dollar bill and then you get the comeuppance but as of this second, i bring up arm holdings today. lauren: 60% right now. $1.22 a share.
10:11 am
>> institutions don't own a ton. they've got to get in knowing earnings and sales will be accelerating going forward, the market loves acceleration. stuart: all good news, isn't it. stay there, gary, you are with me the entire hour. thanks very much. lauren is looking at the movers, tell me about disney which is close to 10%. neil: what a week for disney, 12%. bob iger's first comment on the a conference call, it has finally turned. good news coming out of disney trying to cut costs, get streaming profitable and a $3 billion share buyback. stuart: what have you got? >> disney as much higher. it's down 40%, 50% from a few years ago, don't bet against bob iger. the prophet earnings is possible. earnings up 20%, complete change.
10:12 am
if the sales language is still down i think this has always to go. stuart: it is one hundred $8 a barrel. are you buying? >> i haven't bought it. i think it goes to the may be one hundred 50 over the next year. one of the great brand names in history. stuart: under armour we don't talk about much but what have you got? lauren: it was higher by 6%, now it is up one. they raised annual profit forecast in the margin forecast costs are coming down but demand is slowing for their products. costs coming down but sales aren't improving. stuart: a quiet luxury consumer. lauren: tell them my sweater is a cashmere sweater. in general people are going and especially over the holidays and evening china where sales were up double digits they are going and buying the cashmere and the bear sweaters, very trendy right now and ralph lauren came out, stocks at a new hire looked at the
10:13 am
forecast. >> have you noticed something about these stocks? disney entertainment, semiconductors, markets broadening and big reaction to earnings reports which is the most import part of the equation. stuart: 12% is a big gain. food companies are worried that weight loss drugs like ozempic will hurt their bottom line. food companies are reaching out to the company that makes them. what's the story? lauren: this is what we've been discussing for months. the food companies are calling out the ceo who makes ozempic saying we are scared. what advice do you have? how do we sell products to a population that's increasingly thin and doesn't have as big an appetite? and the ceo says in the us we currently prescribe less than a million people but there are
10:14 am
100 million americans that are obese, market opportunity, no wonder the food companies are scared and the companies that make devices like knee replacements and all that. stuart: wait a second. >> the ceo should tell the companies by our stock. stuart: this is wildly exaggerated. these weight loss drugs will not have a profound impact on food companies, they will not. i can't see that. stuart: i agree and the fact that it is a fact that people get off these drugs go back to where they were. lauren: their parent just bought a catalyst for the manufacturing so we can get more of these drugs out there. more americans are going to take them for long periods of time and they are looking for a change. stuart: will ask for that at some point in the future. >> long-term side effects, we are in the infancy right now. stuart: thank you for ending the discussion well. now this.
