stuart: good morning. this is gripped the nation. more than the earthquake. >> appearing is quite interesting. there is a lot of excitement around this because 31 million people live in the path of totality that will get to see this when the moon will block out the rays of the sun and usher in a solar eclipse. by 3:25 p.m. eastern today you want to be outside looking up for the show with your safety glasses. stuart: that's if you're in new england, northeast. >> it goes from mexico and goes all the way up but people have been planning to see this rare event for years and they're flooding into communities and totality zones booking hotels renting their b&bs along the path and they're hoping to secure the best seats to cash the action. stuart: i think you dress for the occasion, that is an eclipse dress. >> i would say so. it was intentional.

should be which is the idea that ultimately it's up to the people. the problem with the supreme court declaring abortion a right in the constitution which it is not and never has been and never was that was something that was manufactured, the idea that people have to make this decision themselves at the state level is a smart position and the smartest pro-life people that i know are people that make the argument that they want to change the way people view a growing child in the womb, they want to change the personal view of humans, they don't want to change this by a fiat at the national level. this is a smart move on his part and he is right he is exactly where voters are on this issue, they may not love the outcome of it but putting up two people is the wisest way to do it in the

vast majority do not support the democrat position which is abortion up to the ninth month. stuart: biden released a new plan for student debt forgiveness. it will provide relief or 30 million people as soon the selection time. biden plans to discuss this in wisconsin today. i call it vote by what say you? >> there is no other word for it. it's going to backfire on him. he is forcing, by doing this against the law against the constitution in the first place and secondly against what the supreme court has said but third i think it's going to backfire because he is forcing americans, maybe an elderly mom and dad who cannot pay for their own children's education and had to get their own children to take out loans that they pay back in order to get a college degree. it's forcing those people to pay off the college loans of other

people's children and not hypocrisy and that unfairness is so obvious and i think in the backfiring. it is nothing other than for buying. stuart: is hundreds of billions of dollars. charlie hurt on a monday morning. we will see you again real soon. biden may miss the deadline to be on a one state general election ballot. it's a big state. >> trump on ohio in 2020 by eight points. the deadline to certify a presidential candidate on the ballot the general ballot is august the seventh. the problem is a dnc is aug august 19. the secretary of state in ohio is warning the dnc needs to move up a week with all of this planning were ohio needs to create an exception by next month. we will see what they do but he potentially could not be on the states ballot. >> they will figure something

where the market appears to be melting up and everyone wants to get in and when you have 30% of the gains in the s&p 500 have been seven stocks, you have a highly concentrated investors relying on seven big technology stocks for their future. >> are you predicting a pullback at some point. >> at some point we will have a pullback. i think it's going to come when people finally acknowledge the fact that the fed has not orchestrated a soft landing. we will have what appears to be hardly ending, that will probably be what sets the market off. >> your longtime holder of disney and you have not sold y yet. i'll ask the question they had a record high last week when they hit $120 a share, are you going to sell? >> i've owned disney since i was 27 years old and in 20 days i

turned 57. i don't know what keeps me in the stock. but i think it's me clinging to my youth. they came out with the shareholder meeting last week, bob iger one he got his directors and pelts lost. he outlined what he's considering making disney a growth company and all they really heard and thought was important is he is going to crackdown on password sharing. in other words he's going to put it on investors. i think what were most likely going to see is a slowdown on disney. my chief investment officer tells me don't get emotional and sentimental about stocks and i violated that at every turn. >> i told you about my sport coat. have captain america, the first

avenger sewn into my sport coat. the jacket is only a few years old but there has been a couple of times that i wanted to throw the jacket in the garbage but good memories. stuart: your sentimental kind of guy, see you again soon. check futures, the dow up 50, nasdaq and 54, coming up the governor of texas, greg abbott says america is being invaded because biden is playing political gains, watch this. >> joe biden has created an open border policy that is allowed illegal immigrants into our country to appeal to into appease the far left is the democrat party like people like ocasio-cortez. >> thaddeus cleveland is a border county sheriff. he will tell us what it's like where he is.

stuart: president biden was met with hunter pro-palestinian protesters in wilmington over the weekend, mark meredith is with us. has the white house made any comment about the protest because they falling everywhere. >> we seem protesters pop up pretty much wherever the president goes and while he's on the road in wisconsin and chicago, as she talked about the

president is facing tough spots politically because you have members of the far left that are urging the white house to bring the war between israel and hamas to an end as soon as possible, let me show you video will resolve the protesters who were outside the presidents wilmington, delaware neighborhood they were pro-palestinian protesters one woman poured fake blood to spotlight the death toll in g gaza. last week the president urged prime minister to do more to limit the civilian casualties in gaza as it hunts for hamas that's called a few days after the israeli airstrike which killed 78 workers and one american, we heard from secretary of state anthony blinken who doubled down for the calls on israel to tread careful. >> as israel pursues any military operations against hamas has to prioritize the protection of civilians, has to make the job number one, too many people been caught in the crossfire of hamas making.

>> israel said it fired two military officers in the wake of the eight workers in the white house is calling for cease-fire, some republicans argue it's the u.s. that is losing sight of what matters most. >> it's not on the idea for israel which the idf for our listeners is israel's defense which that's what it stands for. it is not on them to cease-fire. as i said they did not start this they did not start the fight on october 7 that was hamas. but it's up to israel in the idf to eliminate the threat. >> later today the president's national security advisor is expected to sit down with the family of american hostages being held by hamas, the white house had the outreach events a few different times and no indication will hear from the families but the white house wanted to make it clear there keep in touch with those trying to get an idea on what's going on with their loved ones. stuart: retired lieutenant general keith kellogg joins me now. it seems to me biden is abandoning israel for the sake of domestic politics.

i say it's a betrayal of an important ally i haven't gotten real far but what say you. >> thank you for having me, here's where i'm coming from on this the by data administration is trying to have what i would call moral equivalence and there is none. hamas started this by over six months ago. they went into israel and killed thousands including americans, they took over 200 hostages, now down to 130 hostages, some we believe are now dead, the real villain is hamas that is not israel. for us to make it equivalence is flat wrong, we need to stand behind israel 100% and say they have to finish this job. when you hear anthony blinken the secretary of state saying the priority is to protect civilians, no, is to eliminate and eradicate a terrorist organization of hamas and go into the final city down there

which is the city of 1.44 million assault battalions of hamas and finish them off that is what they need to do. we need to stand back and let them finish the job and by giving the whole issue of moral equivalence, we actually encourage hamas and say were in the wrong side, that is a problem i have with it. stuart: the white house is israel's move to pull troops out of southern gaza which they are apparently doing does not indicate a new strategy, roll tape. >> it's hard to know what that tells us this was an announcement and i would let them speak to their operations as we understand it and to the public announcements. it is about rest and refit for the trip set up another ground for four months and not necessarily that we can tell indicative of a new operation for the troops. they have been on the ground for four months in the word that their tired and they need to be refit. stuart: why do you think israel pulled troops out of southern

gaza? >> it's basically what i call refit, rearm, israel is not built for a long war, we are in this war has gone on for over six months so they need to get the troops out and dress them and get ready to go back into raw for, you're setting the conditions for the next phase. i agree with everybody saying it's not a withdrawal is to same take a deep breath, the military determines you take a knee, catch a breath and you go back in. they are going to go into rafah they have to do it. if benjamin netanyahu does not go into rafah's government falls they have to finish operation. the reason that there slow they believe that is where most of the hostages are, there's going to be a fight in that city. you put them at risk and i understand what they're trying to do. it's callous it is sounds callous as well but the primary effort needs to be the eradication of the hamas assault battalions eradication of leadership and offered to finish the job and that he could step back and say what are the next steps. it's hard but what war is all

about. stuart: will we allow israel to finish off hamas and finish the job at this moment. i don't think we will. we have to ended there. i'm out of time but will have you back really soon. prominent democrats worry that bidens images is being undermined by benjamin netanyahu of israel, which democrats and what are they saying. >> bernie sanders, tim kaine and others are pushing the white house let's call and abrupt shift and posture which is what you are talking about the general in the war before you finish the job before hamas is defeated they're worried that cozying up with benjamin netanyahu is bad for politics and they said the call last week threatening to withhold support for israel unless they protect civilians in gaza shows that biden has leverage and power and intimidation of the world stage but internally very worried. gallup holy shows 47% of democrats, not even half approve of how joe biden is handling the

war, the number is 21% for independence. stuart: he's adjusting america's foreign policy in light of domestic politics especially in michigan and minnesota. that's what's happening in my opinion. monday morning a little bit of green, the dow up 40 nasdaq up 60 read will take you to wall street for the opening bell next. ♪
