11:02 am
knifed .y they're all down. looking at -- nvidia, they're all down and looking at percentage, big losses and big tech all lower, alphabet, just ticked higher. microsoft, amazon, apple and nvidia. they're all down. the yield on the 10-year treasury, that is going down just a fraction, 3.79%. and now this, you can tell the socialists got natural rights approach hands on kamala harris. her economic policy comes straight out of a play book we elizabeth warren and bernie sanders. case in point, a proposed merger of two grocery store chains: kroger and albertsons. this may seem like small potatoes but it is not. the cost of food is at stake. the socialists, federal trade commission and kamala harris want to stop the merger. this is part of the price gouging, excessive profit and bigoses baddest mentality. the left said a get together would reduce competition.
11:03 am
that's a stretch. traditional supermarkets face increased competition from amazon, wal-mart, costco, aldi, trader joes, and other stores. two chains merging automatically doesn't mean higher prices and bigger profits. that's not true. kroger said it's spent $1 billion to lower prices and it's reduced its profit margins far more than its competitors. to the left, big is bad. waging war on big oil, big tech and now big food. they did the -- the impact of massive government spending. harris supplied the tie breaking vote for the american rescue plan, that dumbed $1.9 trillion into the economy. unnecessarily. set off inflation that hurt so many people. you have to be worried when the front running candidate for the presidency tries to go back to the failed policies of the past primarily for ideological reasons. does anyone believe you bring down prices by suing supermarket chains? how many times have we been told
11:04 am
that collusion in the energy business produces price gouging at the gas pump? it's not been proven, but it doesn't stop the left's knee jerk reaction. the kroger albertson supermarket merger goes to trial this week. perfect backdrop for dam la harris war on -- kamala harris war on business and what's wrong with the socialist plans. third hour of varney starts now. ♪ ♪ stuart: steve forbes is with us this monday morning. steve, i'll start with -- i want to bring in jason katz on this as well. have price controls ever worked? >> no. roman emperor that try it had a couple thousand years ago failed miserably. they base their currency, very, very simple and the governments always have scapegoats and roman times it was christians and
11:05 am
media times it was riches and today it's big pharma or big whatever much the only big thing the left believes in is government. stuart: got it. jason. are price controls, the whole idea of price controls bad for business and bad for the economy? and bad for the market? >> it would be a colossal mistake. businesses sometimes a game of opposites. if you curb prices on food in particular, you're sourcing a lot less goods. if there's no competition, then consumers have less of an array to choose from and prices go up. stuart: that was the conclusion of "the wall street journal" editorial today. you do this -- stop this merger and food prices go up. that's their conditionings too. that's a different subject. i want to get to this, to you, steve. donald trump says economic growth will cover $4.6 trillion worth of deficit. steve, you need enormous growth rate to cover a deficit like that. >> this includes next year when the trump stacks cuts of 2017d
11:06 am
tax cuts of 2017 expire and count that as a tax cut. all that does is keep what's already in place. if there's a big tax raise next year, there's a depressed economy and bigger deficits. more taxes, less growth, less government revenues, less prosperity for the rest of us. trump is right. if we got back to normal growth rates we've experienced in the past like 3, 3.5, 4%, there's a gush of revenues and also it's easier to finance the debt because the world sees you're getting your act in order and they want that paper rather than taking it as a last resort saying the susan li moving and the 1980s and when there's a raise economically, others follow suit. cutting taxes in the 1980s and few years, 50 countries cutting tax rates and trump i think is right on this. stuart: can't do it if -- unless the senate stays or goes to republicans. >> that's right. stuart: absolutely vital.
11:07 am
>> by the math, the republicans should gain the senate. they have took democrats over 20 seats, 23 seats up for grabs and you've got west virginia, you take a couple of others like montana, or arizona, maryland, and they there you've got a majority. stuart: a republican senate would stymy a harris presidency in terms of policy. are you sure about that? >> only partially. what democrat haves learned with socialism is modern socialism you don't need that. look at student debt. supreme court ruled against it and other courts and they go ahead anyway. these tail pipe emissions and where they want to force people into evs and the like. regulatory state has to be curbed and trump proved in the first term he knows how to tackle regulations and got even a bigger job in the next four years. stuart: steve forbes, we consider ourselves warned. thank you very much indeed, steve. see you soon. >> thank you. stuart: look at market right now. mixed picture, dow's up 90,
11:08 am
nasdaq is down 151. jason catastrophe, we saw durable goods 0rder this morning go up almost 10%. that's the largest increase in four years. that's a sign of a strong economy, i presume. is it also welcome news for the market? >> yes. for sure. so for the longest time, we didn't know what to root for. finally good news is good news and bad news will be bad news. now that inflation is nearly slayed, the fed no longer needs to be data dependent and we're in a paradigm to root for that kind of news and getting rate cuts regardless. stuart: automatically good news for the markets. >> i'm going back to my theme of opposite. so i think about this for a second, if you're a consumer about to buy a home or expensive purchase and you're going to finance that and you know there's a sequence of rate cuts coming down the pipe, what are you going to do? nothing. you're probably going to wait.
11:09 am
so counter intuitively you're likely going to see a slow down in the economy, a mild dip before an acceleration. at the end of the day, rate cuts are good, but don't be surprised if we see gdp take a dip shoply after. takes 3-6 months for rate cuts to cycle through. stuart: elephant in the room is nvidia's report on wednesday afternoon. slightest disappointment, there can be a nasty selloff. how do you see it going? >> talk about data dependence. i would argue that most important data point this week is not pce on friday, wasn't the durable goods order. it will be the nvidia news for the obvious reason. nasdaq up 20% and 55% of that move and tributeable to the 7 stocks and after that seven stocks nvidia has been most of the heavy lifting and weeks and months that they're not exceeding that whisper and a major re-rating and not our base case, but that day will come.
11:10 am
so i don't think it's in the near future but we need to prepare for that . stuart: listening to the call afterwards. >> of course. stuart: that's where the hint might come in and problem with the platform. >> can't drive lumis life looking in the rear-view mirror and we know what last quarter was all about and we need to know what the forecast is for the use case of ai. there's no better proxy. stuart: that's what we've got to listen to. jason katz, thank you, sir. always. lauren is looking at movers. exxon moving 1%. lauren: it was higher and nvidia, major oil producer will stop all of the production. there's geopolitical rift in the country and what's going on in the middle east. exxon will come out with the forbe cast and say we predict america will use as much oil and gas as its using right now. in the year 2050, despite all of the calls to push to more green resources, he says demand will be the same as it is now in
11:11 am
2050. stuart: that's very interesting. next one, super micro devices. system of articulation lauren: look -- lauren: they make ai and the calm before the storm. could it get worse before better. that's going on 4% with price target going to see the talks of demand for personal computers and smart phones. stuart: there's some concern about the blackwell chip and the delay in producing it. lauren: the production snag and how much will that delay production? getting to on the market. stuart: we'll highlight that on the market in the center fold. here we go. planet fitness. lauren: barron says they're a bullish fresh pick. there's a list of bullish fresh picks and new leadership is spending money and charging gym goers more and $15 to go to planet fitness and not $10 a month. stuart: can't wait. california has a program meant to help low income first time

payment. williams la jeunesse joining me. could this been available to migrants? >> that's what they're trying to ram through sacramento right now is basically a program that subsidizes qualified illegal immigrants to up to $100,000 each to buy a home. so the program is called the california dream for all program. it's created to help mi mid ince home buyers and residents to be here legally as a u.s. citizen or perp n -- permanent residentd last week the opposition changing that eligibility to say this "an applicant that meets requirement for the loan under home purchase assistance program shall not be disqualified by the agency based solely on the applicant's immigration status". >> the social and economic benefits of home ownership should be accessible to everyone, regardless of

immigration status. reporter: sot program provides first time buyers with a 20% up to home per has price and that's about $150,000 cash up front for each buyer with the down payment and help with closing costs. so this year, the program cost taxpayers about $255 million to help complete the catch 200 buyers and the bill is sponsored and the close ties for biden is harris. >> >> the country can't afford to buy illegal immigrants home.

11:20 am
helping first time home buyers and trump already proposed to good effect in the past, and what people should do is really compare the two sides. why would you trust somebody that won't even sit down with the press and discuss their policies. ior somebody that only debates f everything fits something that benefits them? that's not what we need. we've had debates for 60+ years in this country. and it's worked very well. why not continue to use the same format we've used for the last 60 years for people to goat to know who the candidates are? stuart: fair question. would you outline what trump's housing policy would be? housing has been called the sleeper issue in this election. fair enough.
11:21 am
what's trump's policy? has he stated a body of issues? >> he's not stated them but lived them. bear in mind trump administration recognizes the number one mechanism for wealth accumulation in this country is home ownership. the average homeowner has a 40 time greater network than average and that's based on one of the things that was done so effectively and deregulating and we got rid of more than 2,000 regulregulations and subregulats that hurt and moved out of the way so many obstacles and home ownership increase to do the highest levels particularly along that at times. fighting inflation is a policy that actually was taking inflation down and going secondary for the inflation it's

in federal lands to be realized from home building and these are the kinds of things that. stuart: at the moment, 30-year fixed rate mortgage is 6.5%. how far down do marge rate haves to come to make a significant difference to the housing market? >> not only the marge rates, it's all the other things because fuel prices, utilities, all those things have gone up tremendously and all those things in conjunction have put the american dream out of reach for so many people. you have to fight them off. we were talking about the chance of 2-3% range for mortgages and we're talking double that now. that really knocks the dream out of the ball mark.
11:23 am
>> it would have to be a period of years to really get some juice back in the housing. >> well, it's going to take time to undo all the problems that were cre created in this administration and when trump came in in 2016, things were in pretty bad shape also. it didn't take long because of knee pads policies and the opportunities and all the things that were done to turn the ship around so it'll take longer this time than it can be done. jacqui: regulation is very important here. dr. ben carson, thanks for joining us, sir. come back soon. good to see you. more on the housing market because we're told it's starting to loosen up. ashley, what does that mean?
11:24 am
ashley: maybe there's a light at the end of the tunnel and yes, mortgage rates are falling and home prices last month were up 4.2% and new home sales jumped by more than 10% last month to the highest level in 14 months but to qualify for the median price existing single family home is now with a household income of $110,000 and three years ago it was $59,000. the fact that the fed will soon start cutting rates with new rights into the market and getting housing inventory and proving up nearly 20% from a year ago but experts say it's going to take time and labor market is cooling and wage growth stagnating and there's a light at the end of the tunnel and could be well into next year before we see any marked improvements, stu. put it that way. stuart: still ahead, the german

11:32 am
responsible for abuse of that platform. other tech executives like elon musk and head of rumble are chiming in voicing support for durov. musk shared a clip from old video and interview in which he said "moderation is a propaganda word for censorship". rfk jr. weighing in saying the need to protect free speech has never been more urgent. as you might remember, stu, last week he cited protecting free speech one of the reasons he joined forces with former president trump. stu. stuart: got it, grady, thanks very much indeed. former anheuser-bush director of operations joining me now. should elon musk be worried? >> he should and only a couple years ago that the biden administration was coordinating with twitter before elon musk bought it. if this kamala harris is elected this year, who knows what type of policy she might bring back. show could potentially shut down
11:33 am
free speech in the country and shut down the platforms like twitter and maybe even hold executives accountable if they don't like the speech on that platform she's trying to shut down. stuart: this is a worldwide phenomena, isn't it? a tax on free speech and defense of free speech. it's literally global these days. >> it is and started in europe where the european governments tried to shut down the right wing parties they didn't like and now it's the capitalism model that started in europe and spreeding to other parts of the board spreading to the last couple of years and things like free speech and basic companies ability to do business as well. you're seeing things like dei, all these policies that are more government imposed and that's how europe operates coming to the u.s., all of us should be concerned. stuart: even britain are clamping down on free speech and really clamping down hard there. i want to move onto this, jocko
