opine on to olympics. [speaking french] if fred astaire, ah, the greatest dancer of all time, in my opinion. you don't even know who he is. lauren: i know who he is. there's several dance studios named after him. [laughter] stuart: all right. lauren: one right in my neighborhood. stuart: you've got to watch that guy. lauren: tringing toes. stuart: it is 11:00 eastern time, friday, august the 9th. the markets are now showing some green. no red at this moment in time. don't know how we're going to close. dow's up 30, nasdaq up 25. have a look at a big tech, please. most of them are up. amazon, apple, microsoft up, nvidia, alphabet down. the yield on the 10-year treasury has been falling this morning, retreating from that 4% level. you're back to 3.99 4 on the 10-year -- 3.94 on the 10-year at this molt. now this. the paris olympics are almost over. i think they've been a wild

success. so much so they may have resurrected to olympic movement. last time around in tokyo the entire event was upended by covid restrictions, but in paris the whole city became the backdrop for the world's greatest athletes. i think it worked. there were the inevitable controversies. the mockery directed at christianity in the opening ceremony, that was tasteless and offensive. the organized disruption of the train system just as the games started, it was disturbing, but its impact was minimal. gender confusion in the women's boxing event, that made brief headlines. and the belgians, they took their team out of the triathlon because one athlete got sick swimming in the river seine, but the athletes and the city transcended it all. who's going to forget the incomparable simone biles or katie ledecky or noah lyles taking the bronze in the 200 meters when he had covid. every four years we get to see sports that we only see every

four years. i don't spend much time watching table tennis, synchronized swimming, men's field hockey or women's pole vault, but i enjoyed them this time around. and then there was the air pistol shooting event turning up without almost any equipment. with one hand he shot his way to silver, a tar overnight. there -- a star overnight. there have been many questions about whether hosting to olympics is worth it. they're very expensive, and when they're over, the host city is often a left with a pile of debt. to me, the olympics with was worth it, it can work if done properly. in 2028 the games will be held in los angeles. and here is our california guy, steve hilton. steve, in 1984 the l.a. olympics turned a profit. [laughter] can california do that again four years from now? >> well, bonjour, stuart, i guess we should start by saying. [laughter] i think so.

i agree with what you're saying, and i want to look back briefly, because the 2012 olympics in london were a huge success for london and the u.k. i was modestly involved in that. i was working in 10 downing street at the time and, in fact, i was the guy that they put on the team to work with the directors of the opening ceremony. and so my job was really to stop the bureaucrats messing it up. but we never had anything offensive in that, i should hasten to add. but i do remember it was a huge success. looking forward to los angeles, i think the reason that actually you could see it be yet another success, even more so than paris, is that the organizers have very sensibly said -- and this was part of the bid -- we're not going to build any massive, me venues. -- new venues. we're going to use the sporting venues we already have in southern california and in the los angeles area to host these events. and so we're not going to spend money on white elephants that are built just for the games and then fall into disrepair which used to be the way it was done.

so i'm looking forward to it. i think it's going to be great. stuart yeah. i might even visit if i'm still around at that a point. [laughter] governor gavin newsom ordered homeless encampments to be torn down all across california, and he was spotted personally clearing up those camps this week. now, was that just a photo op op, or is there something going on here? >> basically, yes. there's much less to this than meets the eye. by the way, if there's one thing that finally might mean that the homeless situation is cleaned up in california, maybe it's the 2028 olympics. they'll do it by then if not before. look, the truth is that the announcement that he recently made was more spin than substance. it wasn't actually ordering the clear-up across the state, it was ordering state agencies to draw up plans and, of course, most of the issue is in the hands of cities and counties. but the real issue here is that for decades now in california you've had this homeless crisis get worse as a direct result of democrat policies. policies on housing which means

they're so expensive to build anything because of the environmental regulations and the taxes that are charged on us house building, there's not enough homes for people, but even more, the actual homeless crisis itself. there's a law in california called housing first which makes it illegal to get homeless people the mental health treatment they need and to require sobriety to get them off drugs. and given that the estimates are that roughly 80% of people homeless are suffering from some combination of mental illness and aa diction, it is a total disaster. they've actually made it illegal to solve the problem, anding nothing we've seen either in this photo op or in recent weeks is changing the fundamental problem which is this tubed policy, housing first. stuart: maybe they'll clean it up for the 2028 los angeles olympics. who knows? >> exactly. stuart: you have a great weekend, and we'll see you next week. thank you, steve. >> thank you, stu. stuart: lou basenese with me for the hour just to see what's

going on here. at this moment we've got green. lou, earlier this morning the great investor, entrepreneur, ken fisher, he was on the show. and he said this is a correction. it's not the start of a new bear market. what a say you? >> agree 100%. i mean, we started this week in the back of an ambulance on the way to the emergency room, walking out and going for a weekend at bernie's. we've gained back pretty much everything we had lost as a if it never happened. and here's the thing, bear markets don't start when the economy's going along at a 2-3% clip and growing. i didn't start when corporate profits are up by double digits like they were in q2 and they're expected in q23 and q4. -- q3 and q4. we've gotten the better jobs data this week as we suggested might happen on monday, and it all is calm again on the western front -- stuart: so an emergency rate cut by the federal reserve, that's off the table. >> completely. i think we're going to get ppi and cpi next week that are going to stay in line, it's going to be a little bit higher than the

fed target, that's going to give them the cover to say, hey, we're going to wait until september. it's a question of 25 or 50 basis points in september, that's the debate. stuart: we've had a lot of folks on the show saying when the fear index, what's it calls, the vix -- >> the vix volatility index. stuart: when that's riding high, that's the time to buy. but i put it to you, you've got to have a strong stomach -- >> ironclad stomach. this is the difficulty in investing which i've learned over 25 years, you've got to separate the emotion from the action. if you just look at the data and we use that as a guide, when the vix spikes like it did one week, three weeks, four months, six months and twelve months later, the markets have always been higher. it's a great call to be greedy when others are fearful, it really is. it sounds very simple, but we know from being investors it's really hard to hit that buy button when everything's going down. stuart: yes, it is, it really is, especially at my age. >> the worst thing you can do is hit the sell button. even if you don't have the courage to add to positions,

please, don't hit the sell button. stuart: but one of these days we're going to get a huge selloff, and it doesn't come back -- >> i disagree. look at the long-term chart of the markets. it's up and to the right. we suffered the 1987 crash, up and to the right. covid crash, up and to the right. the dot.com era, up and to the right. the markets are forward looking, on the to mists -- optists, perma bears are right every once in a while. stuart: i remember the early 1970s. >> i don't. i wasn't around. [laughter] stuart: i do, and it went gnat for the entire decade. i don't remember the '29 crash, but the market did nothing for 20 years. >> but remember, sir john templeton after the '29 crash bought $100port of stocks and made millions coming out of it. stuart: and he lived long enough to enjoy them. all right, lou, stay there. more for you later. we have an intriguing story about travel. lauren: i don't get it. stuart: no, neither do -- travel's supposed on down. education media's a travel company, but they're up 8% --

expedia. lauren: and they said travel is softening, but we've been it would that by airbnb and some other travel companies, so when expedia comes out and reports stronger profits and says international demand is holding up, the market cheers. stuart: trade desk. don't they do digital ads? lauren: correct. they do business with netflix. so many people cutting the cord, they're helping get viewers' eyes, brands to wear -- where the viewer is on the computer, if you will. sales rose by 26% in the quarter. they also use artificial intelligence to better target brands to the right audience. >> which is what with we saw with meta's results. stuart: that's true. sweet green. i've got myself into trouble -- lauren: rabbit food, go ahead. stuart: i should never do that, of course. i do apologize. lauren: they sell steak now and tons of other protein. stuart: the stock is up 23% --

embargo on israel. on wednesday "the new york times" reported she would, then yesterday her national security adviser, phil gordon, posted she, quote, does not support an arms embargo on israel. now, the cofounders of this 100,000 strong group that includes the sister of rep rashida tlaib, briefly encountered harris at a rally and had this to stay. >> this movement has always been about policy shift. about policy change, about saving palestinian lives in the immediate. >> we want her to stop sending bombs to kill people we love. >> reporter: and, stu, this comes after harris drew widespread criticism for skipping benjamin netanyahu's address to congress when our closest ally in the middle east is facing an existential threat. add to that the lingering questions over harris' running mate decision. >> again, one glimpse that we have about her on policy is the whole decision that she made about who is going to be her vp. i mean, she passed on governor shapiro in part to a placate the

hamas wing of the democrat party. >> reporter: and the pressure doesn't stop there, stu. she'll be met by those anti-israel protesters at at the dnc, many of which were in the streets of d.c. in july when i was out with them. they told me they'll be out in full force. stu? stuart: griff, got it. now this, the white house is warning iran of serious risks if it launches any major attacks on israel. lieutenant general keith kellogg joining me now. general, do you still think we should go on offense against iran and hit them? >> hi, stuart, thanks for having me. well, the first thing we ought to do is diplomatically go on offense. and having an unname advisor in the "wall street journal" say don't do this means nothing to our adversaries. it doesn't send a message. when you look at preventing a war, you have to have deterrence. the deterrence is based on credible, and the two underpinnings of credibility are capability, which we do have in the middle east with the carrier

battle group, or -- group the tr, and also the am amphibious ready group, but we have seen no political will to to get solve so involved in in this in a hard way. the israelis have going against the houthis, against hezbollah, against hamas. it's been nine days since that attack in iran which killed the leader of hamas, and even the new president of iran, i'm sorry, has a said to the supreme leader, don't do this. so you don't know where they're going to go, and i think they're a little bit concerned where the where are the israelis going to go. and i think our threats ring hollow. what they're afraid of, they the iranian, are afraid of what kind of response the israelis will have. and i think that's good. you have to have a strong deterrence. they have shown that. we're kind of standing back and making sure something bad doesn't happen. look, here's the tell where i come from. we recently had americans killed in the 9, october, event in

israel. there are still five american hostages. we haven't done anything. and just recently, we had americans wounded when pro-iranian militia attacked thal as cad -- the al assad air base. we didn't do anything, we didn't say anything. when i read things like this in the "wall street journal," i just kind of say, yep, okay. seen this play before. doesn't make any sense. stuart: okay. change the theater. fighting inside russia continues for a third day. ukrainian troops stormed into kerrsing, i believe that's part of russia, and ukrainian troops are right there now. is this a turning point in ukraine? >> yeah. you know, this is really interesting to watch, stuart, because what the ukrainians did was they achieved operational surprise. the province is a little bit to the west of where the major fighting so occurring, and there's really no depth of russian forces there. what that has done is that has a put the russians on their back

foot. heir going to have to shift and move forces. the big question is, what are they doing? it was a limited raid, you know, 5 kilometers, 10 kilometers. that's different. they have gone deep. so are they going in there to hang on to territory as part of a quid pro quo? it's a really gutty move, and we're going to have to see how the russians respond to it. it's really clear to me that the ukrainians have done something they haven't done in the last few months, they actually attacked into a weak spot into russia that was really unprotected, and it took a lot of guts to do it. stuart: and i'm told they used russian -- american and german equipment to get inside russia. that's accurate? so they needed our support, our weapons to get into russia and surprise 'em, right? >> well, yeah. they've used the m1, a10, the bradley fighting vehicle, the tanks that the germans have given them, and they've pushed forward. it also shows a will to do

something that the russians didn't expect. what are the are russians going to do now, that's the next question, how will the russians react to this incursion. i'll tell you, stuart, this is not a minor incursion. when you go 15, 20, 25 mile into someone else's territory, in ths is a serious attack. let's see what the russians do. i think it's a very good operational move by the ukrainians. it's going to force the russians to do something. they caught them totally by surprise. they're going to have to shift forces because they may be stay thing there for a while or, more importantly, they may be going even deeper into russia. that would be a total -- stuart: oh, that's -- we will follow that one. kiel keith kellogg, always a pleasure. thanks for joining us, sir. see you soon. according to microsoft, iran is ramping up its cyber attacks. ashley, what are they up to? ashley: trying to influence the upcoming u.s. election using, among other things, e-mail phishing attacks. microsoft says iranian actors

have spent recent months creating fake news sites and impersonating activists all intended to stoke division and try to sway american voters especially in swing states. u.s. officials have previously hinted that iran particularly opposes former president trump. the microsoft report says it's not just iran using cyber influence, russian hackers are also operating campaigns focusing on the u.s. election, and china is taking advantage of pro-palestinian protests to try to raise u.s. political tensions. iran, not surprisingly, denies any attempts to interfere. stu. stuart: got it. thanks, ash. russia has been hit with a major youtube outage. why is that important? lauren: i'm surprised youtube is even allowed in russia because that's a place where opponents of the kremlin broadcast, right? they broadcast their dissent. it's a place for free speech, in other words.

there was a widespread disruption. it started yesterday morning in russia. users saw either their speeds were so slow or they wouldn't load entirely on both desktop and mobile. it did work on the vpns, the virtual private networks, which is interesting. and fishy. stuart: so is the suspicion that the the russians themselves shut down youtube because they didn't like what was on it? the. lauren: russia will say, no, it's google's fault. hay don't have the right infrastructure. stuart: of course. i need a closer look at big tech, please, this action this morning. amazon and apple are up, microsoft if up at 404. nvidia down just a few cents, that's all, and alphabet is down $2, down 2.929. show me the 2-year treasury, please. we usually concentrate on the 10-year, but the 2-year, that's back right at 4%, 4.03%. and the price of gold, we haven't checked that this morning, 2468, up another $5. there you have it. coming up, a california

administration would handle the economy. lydia hu, what grade does get on an economic report card? >> reporter: i think we could ask any of the minnesotans who have left the state, and they would probably give it a failing grade, right? they probably weren't very happy. and we do see that there was a jump in the exodus by higher income households during walz's tenure. households are -- with roughly $5 billion in adjusted gross income left minnesota for other states. in 2022, minnesota ranked 8th in the country for income loss coming in after other high-tax states like illinois, new york, california, you know 'em. all those folks leaving for states like florida. many say that the migration was driven by waltz's -- walz's tax hike on the state's high income households and businesses. he did, after all, create a 1 surcharge on investment income over a million dollars, he reduced standard deductions for businesses. why? well, his state needed money to pay for other programs like the child tax credit.

he created the largest state child tax credit in the nation according to the tax policy center. kids are eligible for up to $11,750. -- 1,7500. when people leave the state, what happens? it makes it harder to grow business, and minnesota has grown jobs by with only 1.6% -- 1.4% under walz's tenure, lacking the national growth. and when we take a look at the quality of the jobs, there's some concern there. nearly all of them have been added in industries that rely on government spending; health care, social assistance, government. the top adders there. and so when we think about the u.s. economy, we know there's a lot of concern, so when you think about minnesota's economy, you probably would be concerned there. take a look at their gdp, it's only grown by 6.2% when the u.s. economy has grown by 11.5% during that same time as measured by the gb -- gdp. stuart: not quite a aa+if.

>> reporter: i don't think so. i know you want a straight answer. stuart: have you got one? >> reporter: i'm not, but maybe someone from minnesota, call in. stuart: well done. good stuff. a take a look at this headline from "the wall street journal,"s has the u.s. economy reached a tipping point? former ceo of cke restaurants, andy puzder, joins me now. all right, andy, let's lay this out. fast food restaurants are bringing babb value meals. demand for disney's theme parks is weakening, and the latest jobs report shows a softening labor market. are we at the tipping of a -- point of a recession, towards recession? >> as you know, about two-thirds of our economic growth depends on the consumer, and the consumer, because of the past three and a half, four years, the inflationary trends, having been told that inflation was going to be transitory so they weren't very worried about it, people have exhausted their savings accounts. we've seen credit card debt as high as it's ever been, and credit card defaults are way up. auto loan defaults are wane. last time i was on the show, we

talked about 78% of americans viewing a fast food restaurant purchase, a purchase at mcdonald's, for example, as a luxury purchase. there was a report the other day from credit karma that said that 50% of parents are going to be cutting back on essentials this year to get school supplies for their kids. so the american consumer's many bad shape. the attitude is bad. their confidence going forward we're going to get back to where we were say, me-pandemic -- pre-pandemic, back to 2019's glowing economy, i think those dreams are beginning to fade, and people cutting back. stuart: i want to show you some of the democrat party's platform from 1992. the number one priority was growing jobs and the economy, they rejected the idea of big government and the idea of taxing and spending your way to prosperity. they promoted free enterprise. they also a called to cut, cut non-productive federal programs. andy, those sound a lot like what the democrats, the democrats are now calling maga.

the democrats have really changed a lot over the last 30 years, haven't they? >> yeah. well, you think back to bill clinton, bill clinton stood up in 1996 and said the era of big government is over. you know, he cut back regulations on banks, he cut capital gains taxes, worked with newt gingrich to balance the budget. those are all things that today you would consider republican. you wouldn't consider bill clinton's economic policies to be democrat policies at all. and there has been a huge switch. i think the american consumer is feeling the results of that switch. this is -- we're in, we're not heading for a very soft landing if we're going to have a soft landing at all. we've got 39 months with inflation over 3%. we've got the dollar's worth 25% less than it was 4 years ago. we've got a lot of ground to make up. we need those good free market economic policies we had back in the trump administration to get this, get this economy back on track. and i think voters are going to

recognize that. stuart: i do hope so. andy puzder, thanks for joining us. always good seeing you. >> thanks, stu. stuart: lou basenese, do you think we're on the verge of recession? >> no. there's nowhere we're near one. i think you're seeing some signs of weakening, some channel checks with some of my colleagues who are high-end builders, you're seeing restraint in consumer spending, but when we start talking about recession, it naturally changes people's habits. we saw this back in the beginning of 2022 when we got two consecutive quarters of negative gdp growth. we avoided recession seven. i think it's not a question of if, it's when, i don't think it's anytime soon, and i think it'll be short in duration because we've had a lot of layoffs going into 2023, corporate profitability's up, productive is up -- productivity is up, so mild recession when it hits, but i don't see it on the horizon. stuart: lou basenese, thank you. a camping world store in

california has been ordered to take down their giant american flag. ashley, what's the problem? ashley: it's california. the epicenter of red tape. [laughter] officials for zahn joaquin county in the central valley say the business failed to obtain a building permit for the flag. the county also says the flag pole could be dangerous because of its closeness to property lines and the nearby highway. camping world disagrees and has ordered the flag to be reinstalled saying if it were any other flag, they would probably have no problem taking it down, but they feel strongly about keeping the american flag flying no matter what. so what happened? well, the county has a backed down and has issued a building permit. just another day in the formerly golden state.

memorabilia. ken, welcome back. gotta start with the baseball bat used by babe ruth sitting right there. >> sure. so this one is from9 1928. in that year the yankees won the world series. ruth hit 54 home runs, and and this is what they call a ruthian bat, it is a 40-plus ounce bat, 35 inches, great use. and this one is part of our best auction of the year which is called the golden 100 which is why we have so many different genres here, because it's the best items of various categories of collectibles. stuart: value? >> the value on this is probably about $175,000. stuart: 175 grand, okay. moving on to the a barcelona olympics gold medal. from whom? >> yes. stuart: who won it? >> so this is very special. this is a dream team gold medal. it is the only one that has ever come up for auction. s it is clyde drexler's personal medal that he was given for winning the olympics in 19932. the dream team, to me, is the

most important team of all time, the most important basketball team of all time because it made basketball a global sport. and this is a seven-figure piece. stuart: seven figures. >> yes. stuart: how much gold is actually in it? >> it's not all gold. i think the medals are gold-plaited. i think the current bidding is about $500,000. stuart: but it'll go up, you think. >> yes. stuart: i don't understand this one, "star wars" $1 million action figure. >> let me take off the gloves -- stuart tauter why are you laughing at me, lauren? >> this is the one everyone's going to remember. this is the single most valuable action figure that has ever been created in the history of mankind. it is a 1979 kenner prototype of boba fett from the original "star wars," the action figure. now, what happened was they were testing a rocket launcher. and, remember, this is for little kids. so you've to got the rocket pad

and you got the missiles that he was firing, and they were testing it. and on the back it's -- you see the j. if you zoom in, you can see the j. there are only three j slots in existence in the world, and this one is the highest graded, and it comes to us with the original designer's business card. it never made the market. they found out it was harmful to kids, and it was never released. so this is the holy grail of action figures. the current bid if on this, i believe, is $600,000. lauren: what? >> we expect this to go well over a million. for all of "star wars" collectors, that is easily, easily the holy grail without a close second. stuart: you really know how to talk up your product. [laughter] you really do. >> gotta learn about this stuff. stuart: we've got one last one. >> this is a show-stopper and, again, this is why i love the golden 100 because i can really -- it's not just cards, sports, comics, i can do

whatever i want. stuart: what is that? >> so this -- oh, my god, this is heavy. this is, like, 30 pounds. this is ric flair's nature boy robe. so this is the actual robe, it is photo matched to the 1980s, that ric flair wore. and if you look at it, it is so intricate with all the gem stones and all the lions and cheetahs and giraffes on it. this thing probably cost him back in the day about a $20,000 to make, and it is photo matched to the cover of a magazine i believe from 1984. but that is an absolute, absolute classic. [laughter] i've had so many people come to me, said i want to try on the ric flair robe. no, you can't do that. stuart: like i said, you know how to talk up your product. how much? >> the current bid on this is $80,000, we figure this one's going to go probably in the $150-200,000 range. and all of these items are part of the golden 100 at golden.com,

and the auction ends next saturday night. stuart: okay. good stuff, indeed. thanks for bringing it along. alwaysed good stuff. especially that robe. thank you, ken golden.
