house rattled by the "wall street journal" article referring to biden's declining mental and physical abilities. they sent out their supporters who claim the president is, in fact, sharp as a tack. it is thursday, june 6th. yes,es it is d-day. varney and company about to given. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ i'm still standing -- stuart: i'm still standing. okay. who would that be with referring? the president or donald trump or what. cloudy day today. we're going to start this morning with donald trump's one-on-one interview with sean hannity. he went after a biden. lauren, take us through it. lauren: he said biden is weaponizing the election through the judicial system. he also said the usa's becoming a banana republic. >> what i've gone through,

nobody's ever gone through. i'm a very legitimate person. i built a great business. everything's been -- i have been under siege. nobody's ever seen anything like this in this country. now, in other countries, in other third world countries or banana republics, as they say, a banana republic, we've become a banana republic. at the border we've become a banana republic. with so many elementses of our country. you take a look at what's happening with inflation, that's a banana republic inflation. lauren: i thought this was one of his stronger issues. you mentioned the mental acuity of our enemies and their leaders, but he was also a very humble. he spoke about how he relates to addiction speaking about president biden's son hunter and what's going on with him. i thought he was very, very strong. i liked his tone in this interview. stuart: humanity -- humility is not a quality we associate with

trump very often. maybe that's breakthrough, who knows? lauren, thank you very much, indeed. the "wall street journal" reporter behind that bombshell piece is defending her story. roll tape. >> what's not really at dispute is a lot of what we're seeing in these meetings, and when we talked to administration officials, frequently there was not a difference over what was happening there was a difference in cast. so, for example, in the debt ceiling conversation. if biden had a loose command of detail, well, that was because the principal was supposed to be above the fray. he's not supposed to be engaged. if in the january 17th meeting the president, for example, is standing back letting lawmakers do the talking, that's an appropriate way to run a meeting. so there's not a dispute about the basic facts here. stuart: not a dispute about the basic facts here. todd piro joins me this morning. not dispute about the basic facts here. >> that's concerning if you're the biden administration. look, basically, the white house is taking these bad facts and

spring it. everybody does that. -- spinning it. it's less of a spin and more of an excuse, and we all a can't buy it. this isn't some ceo delegating to the people below him and and sitting back and saying everybody's doing a great job, trying to take it all in. no. this is the leader of the free world, and he's not able to do the job now, how is he going to do the job for another four years? that's the question the american people need to ask. stuart: well, that's the question we've been posing all along, is this man capable of being president for the next four and a half years? >> no, he's not. stuart: i've never heard anybody say, oh, yeah, he'll do just great. >> i've said this multiple times on the show, their not necessary writer -- they're not necessarily voting for joe biden, they're voting for an administration to tar carry out their wish z because the guy at the top can barely get through the day. stuart: we've got a new poll from georgia. in georgia it shows that trump beats biden by 5 points. that's interesting because that a poll was taken after the trump guilty verdict. i mean, i could conclude from

that that the lawfare if tack a tick of the president just didn't working. >> well, actually, it's backfired. not only is it not, working, it has backfired. stuart: you go that far? has it backfired? >> i think we need to see the other states at this point. but when you look at georgia, republicans have had a horrible time in georgia over the last four plus years. up by 5? that's a really good sign for the president, and this is a liberal quinnipiac poll. quinnipiac skews left. good news for president trump. stuart: biden's struggling in the battleground state of pennsylvania as well. is this all about gaza? lauren: absolutely. the white house, it's like a half support strategy for israel. it's divided the democratic party in states where they can least afford the division. a man called abe a who lives in pittsburgh with, pennsylvania, told "the wall street journal" i have a very hard time imagining myself being able to pull that lever for him seeing what biden has endorsed and allowed to the happen. it'd be very hard to say yes because voting is still a tacit

endorsement of that individual. he doesn't like deaths in gaza. but other democrats feel completely abandoned because they're jewish, that biden abandoned israel. so they're submit. the administration's wishy washy on its support for israel, and i think the party and most americans see through that. and you guys were talking about the swing states. i look at the real clear political average every day of the swing states. right now at this moment trump is up in all 7 of them. he's up by 2 in battleground pennsylvania. stuart: okay, got it. next let's turn to the markets. nvidia passed apple in market cap making them the second most valuable public company right behind microsoft. how far behind microsoft is nvidia now? lauren: $140 billion. stuart: that's a mere $140 to-- lauren: that's a couple good days of trading. microsoft is worth $if 3.15 trillion, nvidia 3.01 trillion. nvidia's up 12% this week. this week.

they own a.i. it's their market. we're all a trading in it. and more people will be trading in it, because guess what happens tomorrow at the close? the 10 for 1 stock split. stuart: okay, got it. so monday they would start trading as a split stock. >> monday the 10th. if you look at this year alone, nvidia, microsoft, meta, google and alphabet -- amazon, rather. those five stocks make up 60 of the s&p's 12% return this year. those are the 5. stuart: we'd better bring in adam -- he's chomping at the bit here. [laughter] your original a target price for nvidia, i think, was $120 to-- 1200. you've raised it to what? >> to 15755. i know you're saying, why didn't you round it to 16000 -- 160 to-- 16000? so microsoft trades at a 35 pe, price to earnings multiple. if you put the same 35 multiple

on next year's theoretical earnings for nvidia of $45, you get to 1575. and the reason that it's up from 1200 is because i had been putting on the current year earnings of 30. so i just said, okay, now that a we're half away through i the year, what do i think they earn next year? the key here, and this is really important, stuart, these are aggressive numbers, you know? nvidia needs to keep growing. it needs to keep putting up the numbers, it needs to keep leading the a.i. revolution. and if it does that, i will keep raising my target as a will others, and the stock will continue to go up because people will continue to buy it. but they need, they need to put up the numbers. do you see what i mean? if. >> i understand that. i'm looking at the big picture for a second. we've got a really nice market rally here, ups and downs every day, but nasdaq and the s&p closed at all-time highs yesterday. >> yes. stuart: is this because inflation is, in fact, declinin- >> yes. stuart: -- and interest rates are, in fact, coming down. >> yes and yes. and i would add to that what we

were just talking about with nvidia, and that is earnings. we have the most number of people ever who are gainfully employed, and because two-thirds of our economy is consumer spending, that is generating profit growth at a companies which is generating earnings. so i if you have you have the economy, if you have employment and if you have earnings, you can have stocks go up. at the same time, we are seeing inflation slow. the average of the four inflation indicators is now 2.8%, all right? the fed's target is 2. cpi was as high as a 9.1, now it's around a 3. it's still high. prices are still going up, it's still uncomfortable for people, hard working american families, but inflation is coming down. so when you combine falling inflation with a still-strong economy and rising earning, yes, you have an environment for people like me who buy stocks, and we want to own stocks. stuart: you notice how politicians whenever they refer to people, they always say hard working american people. even's got to be hard working

always, always, always -- >> well, you're hard working, i'm hard working. todd or lauren, we're all hard working. stuart: yes, we are. it's just the way politicians finish. >> yeah, i know, probably true. avoid cliches, is that what you're selling -- telling me? stuart: sort of. >> all right, you win. [laughter] stuart: coming up, the trump campaign has sent vetting materials to top vice presidential contenders. we'll tell you which three names come up most in discussions. donald trump said there could be more than 20 million illegal migrants in the country by the time biden leaves office. roll tape. >> he's allowing terrorists to flood into our country, and the numbers are probably 16, 17 or 8 million people -- 18 million people. you're going to have over 20 million people -- stuart: 20 million? is that an exaggeration? well, tom homan will be with us shortly, and he'll deal with that. he's next. ♪ ♪

stuart: just one day after two nypd officers were shot by a teen migrant, fox news went on a ride-along with the nypd to see firsthand how they're handling crime connected to the migrant surge. alexis mcadams joins me now. alexis, what did you see? >> reporter: hi, stuart. we were in queens and other areas near the bronx not too far from where those two officers were shot by that venezuelan migrant who was out on a moped in that area near queens. also linked to a string of robberies. this comes as the officers are recovering, and the nypd is cracking down on the scooters that are linked to the major spike in crime. >> it's going to be one of those nights. >> reporter: fox news hit the streets with the nypd. >> i have one moped, northern boulevard and --

>> reporter: what's going on right now? >> so they have a guy driving a stolen moped. and that's how it starts, right? stolen moped, they commit a crime on a stolen moped. >> reporter: the department's highly skilled community response team out in queens patrolling a neighborhood they say is a hot spot, finding drugs, guns and this guy who they say is a repeat offender. 49 arrests. is that shocking at this point or -- >> no, not at all. arrest him for the second time in two weeks, arrested by the same officer. >> reporter: we hit lots of hot spots, we've seen more than 50 unregistered mopeds that they've taken off the streets. >> we are seeing a huge uptick in people committing crimes on scooters. >> reporter: according to the nypd, armed migrant moped croups have been eye -- crews have been tied to dozens of street robberies. police say this is just one example of crime connected to the ongoing migrant surge. just this year the nypd says they arrested two armed

venezuelan migrants on mopeds and charged them in connection with more than 100 robberies. >> there's 200,000 migrants that have come to the city, give or take. a small portion of them did not come here for the american dream, they came here to prey on new yorkers. >> reporter: so the department is on record pace for those scooter and moped seizures, but a lot of people are watching at home and across new york wondering what's the big deal. they say it's really connected to that big surge in migrant crime. back to you. stuart: alexis, thank you very much, indeed. trump predicts we will see 20 million illegal migrants in this country by the end of biden's presidency. watch this. >> there's never been a president like this. look, he is a horrible president. he's destroying our country at the border. he's allowing terror terrorists to flood into our country. and the numbers are probably 16, 17 or 18 million if people. you're going to have over 20 million people, i think, i believe and a lot of other people do too, by the time he,

hopefully, gets out. stuart: tom homan joins me this morning. tom, what's your number? trump says 20 million by the end of biden's term. it sounds kind of a high number to me. >> no, t not a high number, and let me explain in a minute. but first, i really want to talk about the -- no one's talking about it, the illegal alien that shot the two cops, people need to know this. his case was dropped by dhs. even though he entered this country illegally, claimed asylum, they removed his case from the court. 350,000, they removed. he's not even in court proceedings. i want the american people to know dhs dropped his case, which is travesty. as far as the 20 million number, look, we've been saying there's 12 million illegal aliens in the country for two decades. it's always been higher than that. we know the biden administration has released 14 million -- add a 6 to the 12, you've got 18, and by the end of this year, a million people through the cbp1 app and the if aliens flying in

through the port of entry. so 20 million is not an exaggeration at all. stuart: that's just an enormous number. i don't think people have wrapped their arms around that one yet. biden introduced the new executive the action on the border. it went into effect midnight wednesdayful tom, have you seen any impact from these new rules? >> no. look, that's smoke and mirrors. i looked at that, i read the whole thing. what's disturbing is they're saying it's okay for 2500 people every day to be red.c.ked into the united states -- released into the united states. why isn't that number 1? they're saying 2500 a days which is close to a million a year, again, add a million coming through the points of -- ports of industry, are we okay with 2-3 million illegal aliens entering this country a year? we're not. and this is nothing but smoke and mirrors. they do nothing about the illegal use of parole, they did

nothing about a child trafficking. children were excluded from this means the cartels are going if to keep smuggling children in this country, child trafficking. since biden's been president, over 4000,000 children have been smuggled into this country in the hands of criminal cartels, and they can't find almost 1000,000 of them that they've released to sponsors. this is a terrible, terrible thing. stuart: what -- where's the left? they were screaming blue murder when trump was in power and kids were coming across the border, and now we've lost 80,000 children, don't know where they are. 4000,000 are in the country -- 4000,000 are in the country all over the place. where's the left on this? where is the outrage from the left? >> you know what? i'm dumb founded. it's disgusting. and i tell you based on my three decades of experience, the children that are missing, many of them are being forced labor with. we've found hundreds in forced labor in meat packing plants, we've found some involved with sec trafficking.

a lot of -- sex trafficking. a lot of this almost 100,000 children missing, many of them are living a life of hell, and no one seems the care, right? they still talk about trump 2500 separations, but here we have 400,000, and no one's talking about it. stuart: you got that right. ought appreciate it, thank you, tom homan. donald trump says he has a solution to the country's drug problem. what is it? >> and it comes with a powerful warning to the drug dealers in a possible trump second term. watch. >> you'll never really solve the drug problem unless you do what other countries do, and that's -- >> [inaudible] >> -- the death penalty for drug dealers. a drug dealer or on average a, will kill during that person's life 500 people. unless you have a death penalty, unless there's something that they're -- right now they don't even get charged with anything. if you don't institute the death penalty for drug dealers, you'll never solve that problem. >> and, stu, as you know, trump

has spoken before about a going after the cartel at their bases of operation in mexico instead of waiting for them to flood u.s. shores with the drugs. stuart: got it, todd. thank you very much. still ahead, check futures, first of all. we've got not much price movement on this thursday morning. the nasdaq's up about 30, dow down 1, s&p up 1. not much movement. got that. the opening bell is next. ♪ ♪ country girl, shake it for me, girl ♪ shake it for me, girl, shake it for me ♪ (luke) so... i hear some of you are concerned about the fact

stuart: three minutes to go before the market opens. not much action in the early going. a little, tiny bit of green. d.r. barton with me. you say the a.i.-fueled rally has legs. so it continues? >> i believe it really does continue, stuart. and one of the things that i'm seeing with my engineering background is that we're still building out so much stuff. we have a 1200% increase in electrical, that's power plants plus data centers and computer certains in the u.s -- centers in the u.s. over the past 101 years, can be and that mostly -- 10 years, and that mostly has been in the last few years. so we are going to continue to

see this rally head up especially into the end of the year. stuart: you like dell and the southern company. you said both are connected to a. a i.. spell out the connection. >> yeah. dell is a little bit of a weird kind of on the periphery because of something called edge computing. so, yes, we have the cloud where with stuff goes out to the cloud and comes back, but for things that need to be very, very low latency, low time to get from here to there and back like automated driving and other things, you've got of the data center ises everywhere, small ones. dell is specializing in that. put out a big software platform last year, and they're doing really well implementing it in these smaller data centers. southern company, stuart, we've talked about a it before. we've had it in the portfolio that we've recommended for years. lots of power's going to be needed everywhere, can and they

have -- and they have a huge advantage in the nuclear space and some of to only people with long-term knowledge of the next nuclear generation that's going to happen are sitting within the southern company confines. stuart: okay. dell and the southern company, a.i.-connected, you like 'em. d.r. barton, thank you very much, indeed. i'll see you again soon. now we've got to 30 seconds to go before the opening bell rings and the market opens. we're not seeing much price movement in the very early going. in fact, we've got a tiny bit of green. of i'm going to repeat that, tiny bit of green. dow's up 20, s&p up 3, nasdaq up 31, but they are in the green. there's no significant numbers coming out this morning, but we did have the europeans cutting interest rates by a quarter point. bank of canada did the same thing. don't know whether that has any influence on our market, but that's the background. the market has opened and the dow with a very small gain, 24

points higher. we got the dow up 20 points in the very early going with, an even split between winners and losers for the dow 30. the s&p has opened at another intraday, all-time high. 55357 -- 5357. a new high. the nasdaq composite also higher, .08%. 17 is,200 on that contract. nas nasdaq right there -- nasdaq is another all-time high. alphabet leads the big tech winner list. amazon second. big tech doing reasonably well across the board. look at, where are we now, what have we got next? we've gotten nvidia and apple. okay. they're -- we have nvidia up again this morning, another $13 higher, $1238 is the price. it's getting closer and closer to microsoft. in the most valuable company stakes. lauren: nvidia, apple and microsoft are the new big three, right? stuart: let's call them the big

three. lauren: all3 trillion plus. stuart: you did that, that's good. the big three. now we've got this, novo nordisk, they are the famous makers of ozempic and wegovy. they're getting ready for some competition. all right, who is the new competitor? lauren: china. literally, all of china. they have a dozen companies working on yes fleshes. imagine that, china -- generics. china doing the copycat thing. here's the deal, novo nordisk loses the patent on the active ingredient in ozempic and wegovy in china in 2026. so it's soon. and the local drug makers are already -- half a billion people in china are overweight. just overweight. and then another 150 million plus are obese, and goldman sachs is saying that the generics could bring down the brand price by 25%. stuart: wow. and mow slow nor disk and eli lilly still a little bit higher this morning. microsoft.

okay, i've got a thin sliver of that, the stock is down a fraction this morning. they're being investigated by the ftc. lauren because of a $65500 million licensing deal $650 million licensing deal. "the wall street journal" is reporting that the ftc -- both companies. regulators want to know how this deal was structured, why did it evade government review. this is what it's about. inflection a.i. has a chat bot. that chat pot is pi. microsoft also has a stake in openai which has chatgpt. in the government's eyes, whoa, that's way too much power for one company. i've got more.

got it. the discount store, five below, it's down big and that a surprises me because don't they deal in relatively cheap items? i thought he were inflation-proof. lauren: they are. they -- stuart: or a hedge against inflation. lauren: they don't sell essentials. you can buy pool toys and candy, but with whereas your -- you go to dollar tree, you can get soap, for instance. they came out, they reported earnings and then cut their outlook significantly. and they're saying that their same-store sales will drop between 3-5% this year because the customer is beaten by inflation and is under pressure. they're not going to buy things they don't necessarily need. stuart: okay. the latest, please, on the gamestop meme rally. lauren: oh, where do i begin? the tock's -- stock's up today, 5.5%. it's up 80 plus percent since keith gill, roaring kitty, returned to social media last month. 800 something percent. so the -- 800 something -- 80 something percent. is he pumping and dumping, as

we've discussed. for the ftc to sue gill for manipulation, it would need evidence that a he actually steveed the market. he's posting weird memes. he's revealing his gamestop position. he's influencing the market. i don't know if he's manipulating it. stuart: right. just revealing some strange cartoon character, right? if that's what he's doing. >> he's talking his book, you know? you ask me, adam, what am a i long? d.j. barton, what are you long? he tells you -- stuart: you've got your stock picks -- >> actually, yeah what. you want to talk my book? stuart: energy transfer, what's that? >> yeah. it's the nation's largest operator of pipeline ares. in fact, they move about a one-third of all the a energy in this country, crude, natural gas, rick wind. this stock, you want to -- liquids. it's trading very cheap, call it 10 times earnings, it yields 8%. does that get your attention? stuart: yes, it did do. -- yes, it does. but it's nothing to do with a.i. >> no.

people are less likely to do something bad when they are being videotaped. national retail federation says as of last year 35% of u.s. retailers were researching body cameras for employees. manufacturer of taser twices and other security equipment now designing and marketing body cams specifically for retail workers but, stu, one tj maxx worker in florida told them they were just for show and their presence did not make employees feel any safer. stuart: okay. let's bring in ax a son's ceo, rick smith -- ax a son. ax a son makes these body cameras in the retail industry -- axon. you make the cameras. tell me how they stop theft. >> well, good morning and thanks for having me on again, stu. so it's the same phenomenon that we've seen in policing, that when there's something recording, people feel they're accountable for their actions. and the data we're seeing out of retail is showing that people that are wearing body cameras

are seeing 50 fewer confrontational incidents, and it's deescalating about half of them because when people know they're being recorded, again, most folks change their behavior. not everyone, but it does have a significant effect. stuart: now, is there also some use for these cameras and the footage that they film in defending the retailer in lawsuits? or just being a part of lawsuits anyway? i mean, that's what they're for really, isn't it? >> absolutely -- well, that's how they started. but these cameras can also a live stream to police. so if you have an incident that's really escalating, you know, most people don't realize this, but there were more active shooters in retail last year than in schools. and when those sorts of things happen, you want the police to be able to see what's happening, where the incident is and get there as a fast as a possible. so our body cameras can be opened up to live stream to both the security operations center and retailer, or they can share it directly with police and to our acquisition of a company earlier this year we can now

help any retailer connect their cc tv cameras so when there's a critical incident, they can open those up immediately so first responders can get a late -- lay of the land. stuart: you make the police body cameras as a well. that's where you started. >> we do, that's right. stuart: what's the difference between the police and the retail industrial body -- industry body cameras? >> most of them are cosmetic. our police cameras are designed to fit in with the police uniform, so they're typically black so it doesn't take away from the element of their uniform. in retail, we've totally redone the cosmetics so they're a bit friendlier looking, they fit in with different brand colors, but it's got live streaming, panic button, so it's got the same safety feetures, we've just packaged it in a way that fits in more -- stuart: can you tell me how many of these retail body camera as are actually in use right now? is it thousands? 100,000? close to a million --

>> we're not into the hundreds of thousands, we're probably in the thousands at this point, but there's a ton of interest. this was, like, i'd say police body cameras around 2012. but the data that's coming back is very encouraging. unfortunately, we're paying a price as a society for some bad policy decisions where, you know, they decriminalize low-dollar theft. many people were envisioning, you know, the pauper from the dickens novel of stealing a loaf of bred -- bread, and hay got mobs of people going in to steal $999 televisions. everybody has an interest in turning this thing around -- stuart: rick, i'm terribly sorry, i'm flat out of time. rick smith, thanks for joining us. thank you very much, indeed. adam a, i want to know how retailers in general are trying to deal with this enormous problem of shrinkage. what are they doing? many. >> they're closing. and that's the problem, they're

closing stores. a cvs and walgreens have just closed in my neighborhood, you know, 20 blocks from here. and the real problem, and the ceo just made the comment, we have d.a. as who are not prosecuting shop lift aring, they're not prosecuting crime, and they're doing that because they were emboldened, empowered, almost told by democrats that have been elected to go soft. that somehow it was acceptable for this sort of thing to happen. it's not acceptable. stuart: no, it's not, they're closing. adam, thanks a lot. now, coming up, when "the wall street journal" published an article highlighting the president's declining mental and physical condition, the white house was truly rattled. the trucking industry short 64,000 drivers. jeff flock is behind the wheel at a truck driving academy. he's next. ♪
