>> she has not been shy. for decades. and suddenly now she's mary freaking poppins. no, she's not. the american people didn't learn anything because they meant them not to learn something. >> it's all going to end up coming town to credibility, doe, does anyone believe her now and her refusal to even acknowledge she's changed her mind on all these things from fracking to the border and everything else. she will say literally anything to get herself elected. >> they have known for a long time this was a threat to americans, and they never closed the border. and they never told the american people. >> these fed rate cuts are on course, they're on schedule.

you'll have fed funds finishing the year no higher than 4.63%. >> the less politicians can do, the better for the stock market. ♪ ♪ sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking about tomorrow -- ♪ singing sweet home alabama all a summer long ♪ stuart: i like this song. you do too, don't you? lauren: yeah. stuart: it's got a nice rate i'll -- rhythm to it. lauren: it makes me one to drive somewhere. [laughter] stuart: 1 11:00 eastern time. it is friday, august the 30th. on the market we see some green. not that much, but some. dow's up 29, nasdaq holding on to a gain of 66 points. big tech the was a mixed picture earlier. it still is, but most of them are hire. amazon, nvidia, microsoft, alphabet up, apple down just a buck. the 10-year treasury yield, look at that, it's moving up ever so slightly, 3.87%. now this.

the border came up in kamala harris' interview last night. she said, quote, in this race i'm the only person who has prosecuted transnational criminal gangs who traffic in guns, drugs and human beings. end quote. tell that that to the residents of aurora, colorado, where an apartment building has been taken over by, allegedly, a venezuelan transnational gang. see the guns? see the thuggery? these guys are charging rent and intimidating residents. this is happening in america on kamala harris' watch. it's part of a larger foreign policy failure. the biden-harris team did a deal with venezuela where we fly at our taxpayer expense 30,000 migrants a month from four countries. one of them is venezuela. they can't be vetted. we don't know who they are until they show up, terrorizing american citizens. and then there's the school bus situation in southern california. twice the week groups of migrants tried to force their way onto school buses carrying

elementary school students. local authorities have suspended bus service -- [audio difficulty] kamala harris is in favor of sanctuary cities and states. we bring you this to show what's really going on in america. if you don't want fox, you wouldn't know. in her interview last night, harris said, quote, i would enforce our laws as president going forward. going forward? too late. harris has done nothing for the last three and a half years, and the victims of migrant crime are paying a very heavy price. third hour of "varney" starts now. ♪ stuart: look who's here. steve hilton joins me. harris told cnn she would enforce the border laws. are voters going to buy that? >> of course not because she's had all these years to to enforce the border laws.

and we know from her track record that that's not true, and we know, look at all these issues where she's just saying things that she thinks are going to get her through the next few weeks. but you know that in her heart as a far-left democrat politician, she doesn't believe in it, and if she is always ends up pandering to the far left. that's her record. and so you can expect, once the election's out of the way, it goes right back to the far-left positions that are her true positions. stuart: steve, listen to the what harris had to say about her day one agenda. roll it. >> if you are elected, what would you do on day one in the white house? >> well, there are a number of things. i will tell you, first and foremost, one of my highest priorities is to do what we can to support and strengthen the middle class. when i look at the aspirations, the goals, the ambitions of the american people, i think that

people are ready for a new way forward. >> what would you do day one? >> day one it's going to be about, one, implementing my plan for what i call an opportunity economy. stuart: you know, steve, that was kind of vague. [laughter] i'm really not sure what kind of plan she's got. >> it's absolutely laughable, stuart. and that answer right there tells you why she is not qualified to be president. she's had over a month to prepare for this interview. that question, what would you do on day one, it's the most obvious question that any candidate would have to answer. just watch her body language apart from what she said. the first moment she was asked that question, she starts looking away, scratching her face. she doesn't have a clue. and that's the truth about kamala harris that was revealed the last time that she ran for president. she's clueless on policy. she flounders when it comes to policy. and that that's why that interview last night was actually so revealing. it shows that she's a weak, unprincipled, machine politician, doesn't know what she thinks about the issue,

can't explain why she's changed her position apart from the true answer which is political expediency. and this is the really serious point, stuart. in office -- and i've seen this firsthand -- when leaders are elected, yes, they say what their plans are and they can make their promises, but the real test is how you respond to unpredictable, future events. that's what you're really judging when you elect a leader. and someone who doesn't have a strong set of beliefs and convictions that they stick to is incredibly dangerous in office because they lurch around all over the place and can't stand up to pressure. stuart: i'm going to move on to your favorite subject. there's a bill in the california legislature requiring schools to come up with a plan to limit or ban cell phones during the school day. you hate smartphones, i know you do. so i guess you are in favor of a total ban, right? >> well, for children. you know, i've been arguing that for about ten years. finally, stuart, the world has caught up to me and seen the

light and saw that i was right all along. look, we need children to be focused on what's important in school. of course paying attention in the classroom, but actually what's been so interesting as schools around the country -- i think it was florida that really started this -- is when you actually stop smartphones being used during the whole school day, you get much better behavior from kids in break time as well as in the classroom. there's less bullying, kids actually talk to each other, they play games with each other, they have human interaction. and i think that is a good thing. stuart: last one, steve. politico reports that you are considering a run for california governor. any truth to that? and if you did run, would you be a republican? >> well, stuart, i can say right now, as a you know because we've talked about it for the last year or so, i've been focused on the challenges california faces. we've been, my organization, golden together, putting out policy reports on all the big issues from housing and the business climate with more to

come. everyone can see that california needs a change, and that article, yes, i can confirm that is accurate. i am looking at this very seriously. right now, stuart, the focus for me is trying to help republicans get elected this year, in 2024. we need more republicans mt. state legislature so -- in the state legislature so we can start fighting back against the far-left nonsense. that's my focus for the time being but, yes, that article is accurate. stuart: wow. okay, governor, come back and see us anytime you like. [laughter] >> i certainly will. thank you, stuart. stuart: let's check those markets, please. here we go again. we've got a little bit of green as we approach a long holiday weekend. jonathan hoenig with us this morning. wait a second. i'm reading the appropriator here -- [laughter] it says you think there's a risk in holding shares of anything. really? if anything? >> well, if vice president harris' plan to tax unrealized gains comes into fruition. stuart, i'm almost surprised this hasn't gotten more attention.

this is straight up wealth confiscation. taxing you not because you've earned a gain, just because you've been, oh, i don't know, right on a stock? vice president harris has a said, oh, it will only affect the 11%, a small concern 1%, but it'll have huge, widespread ramifications, stuart. bigger picture though, it incentivizes not informing, not risking -- not investing. it promotes high-end cap pal and keeping it unproduct,. -- unproductive. this is a huge proposal that, if enacted, i just cannot imagine the devastation to the markets and the dollar if that goes through. stuart: honestly, jonathan, it is outrageous. if you're successful and you've made9 lot of money, okay, they just come and take it off a you because you have made it. that's so un-american. >> yeah. and a stock goes up one year, you pay taxes on the unrealized gain, then it goes down the next year, you've already paid the taxes. so you've paid taxes on nothing for no reason. this is wealth confiscation. so my hope is that it doesn't go

through, but i am moving money, as a we've talked about, into foreign stocks, because i think they're going to outperform during this political period in our country. stuart: every friday you come through for us with an exotic pick of the week. the prompter says honda is your exotic pick. >> not so exotic. my first car was an accord, i drove it for about 100,000 miles. it never caught on fire, and japan, it's a really interesting story. japan topped out in the late '80s? it took 30 some years to get back, but it is breaking out. i like honda, it's a reliable company. pays over 5% and trades at a fraction of tesla. tesla is exotic and sexy, but honda makes three times more the the operating profit than tesla despite being 10% of the size. so i'm looking for unsexy, value-oriented international names. honda's on my list. stuart: i'm old enough to remember when honda could do ono long. jonathan, have a great weekend. see you next week. thank you very much. lauren, you're looking at the movers, and one of them is

crowdstrike. lauren: fox business has confirmed that the senior vice president of the company, adam meyers, will testify before congress next month on the i.t. outage that took out 8.5 million windows devices last month. stock's up today. better than feared earnings earlier this week setting aside $60 million from this outage, but they've had a nice recovery since. stock's up 20% plus just this month. stuart: that's a recovery. marvell technology. lauren: they make a.i. chips, design chips for data storage, networking. stock's up 7.6%. data center sales up 92 last quarter. stuart: i keep hearing data centers, extraordinary thing. intuitive machines. lauren: big winner. may take -- they make lunar landers. they got a $117 million contract from nasa to deliver 6 payloads to the moon's south pole. stuart: moon's south pole? lauren: i know. i had to think about that for a

stuart: you've seen this before, i'm sure, and i want to get back to it. armed venezuelaning gang members taking over an apartment building in colorado. the latest on this, please, ashley. ashley: aurora's mayor continues to to say and confirms at least two apartment buildings within the city limits have, indeed, been overtaken by venezuelan gangs as that shocking video suggests. however, local police pushing back, claiming it's just an isolated incident, and the office a of colorado governor jared polis suggests that aurora city council member danielle -- has let her imagination run wild. here's her response earlier on this show. >> i'm not going to sit back and let this be downplayed and let this be ignored, but i am going to continue to pose this. and i will continue to go into these buildings, and i will get as many people out as i can. the gang is here, they have spread out.

they have taken over multiple apartment complexes. this is not just in aurora, and we need a group effort here. this is very serious, this is very real, and it will spread out quickly across this country if it is not addressed. ashley: despite what the colorado governor's office says. now, aurora mayor coughlin claims that the city the is a victim, he says, of federal policy and nearby denver's sanctuary city policy. and, by the way,, "the new york post" reports 40,000 migrants have arrived in the denver area alone since december of 202. stu. stuart: thanks, ashley. want to get back to this, parents in california say a group of 20 migrants tried to board a school bus that was picking up young children. nicole cardinale joins me now, parent of one of the children on the bus. tell us exactly what happened. >> yeah. so a couple mornings ago my son was on his way to school at a neighboring bus stop there were 20 illegal immigrants that did

try to attempt to board his bus. to get, i assume, back to san diego city. stuart: they were looking for transportation more than anything else, but i guess the kids were scared to death, right? >> oh, yes, exactly. they were very confused that strangers in a large group were trying to get on their bus. stuart: what's the school done about this? >> they did plan action right away. we do have a police escort following the buses as of right now. stuart: are you letting your child back on the bus? >> he has not ridden the bus, no. stuart: is he scared? >> he is scared. he's hill a little shooken up by the event. -- still a little shooken up by the event. stuart: what changes do you want like at the border, for example? >> right. now that the initial shock has settled a little bit, it's time to call action for, like -- this is a bigger issue than just our small town. i don't -- with these thousands of, you know, migrants coming over, it's just not feasible,

you know, economically. it's an economic burden, and now it's become a public safety issues. stuart: do you see them a lot? you're very close to the border in southern california. do you see them coming through your town a lot? >> and i've lived here the better part of my whole life, so i've seen them over the years but never to this magnitude. we've had people come into our yard and ask to use our wi-fi and ask for things. it's pretty alarming. stuart: the in what kind of numbers have you seen them around your house? >> upwards about 20-30 sometimes. stuart: good lord. nicole, look, thanks very much for coming on the show and telling us exactly what happened. i think the rest of the country needs to know what's going on right where you are now, and we appreciate you being with us this morning. thank you very much. >> of course. stuart: come and see us again. trump is speaking out about harris' flip-flopping on the border. watch this. >> she was put in charge of the border. we had the weakest border mt.

history of the world, i think -- in the history of the world. not just here, the world. and now she's going around saying, oh, i think i'm going to build a wall. she fought me for years on the wall. for years she said defund the police. now all of a sudden a little while ago, no, i don't want to defund the police. she's flip-flopped on every single thing that the you can flip-flop from border strength to defunding and defunding the police. things that you wouldn't believe. stuart: full trump interview will air on "life, liberty and levin" at 8 p.m. eastern on saturday and sunday only on fox news. back to the markets, please. i'm still seeing a little bit of green, but i'm afraid the dow has gone south, it's down 27. these are the artificial intelligence stocks. put them on -- okay. we're back to the market. the dow's down 20, s&p up 10, nasdaq up 45. now, show me these artificial intelligence stocks. the reason is, openai says

a spokesman for the trump campaign says, wait a minute, we have obtained a license for the ab a baa music. but you know what? abba's not alone. the foo fighters, celine can dion, the estate of the late singer sinead o'connor and isaac hayes have always previously asked donald trump, stop playing our songs. it goes on and on. stu. stuart: don't it just? thanks, ash. "the new york times" reports that economists have their doubts about the harris and trump campaign's plans for more affordable housing. what's the problem? lauren: well, "the new york times" says they doubt both of their plans. i have not seen many details about a donald trump housing plan. the times is saying he wants to deport illegal immigrants to lessen competition on supply. he does also ap want to lower interest rates which, of course, the federal reserve would do. and here's part of harris' plan. >> my proposal includes what would be a tax credit of $25,000 for first-time home buyers so they can have enough to put a

down payment on a home which is part of the american dream and their aspiration -- lauren: she also wants tax incentives for builders to build more affordable housing. the paper says both plans, a, need congressional approval and wouldn't make much of a difference anyway if, b, the bottom line is housing is a problem and there's no quick fix. mitch roschelle says tax cuts, tax incentives, that'll work. stuart: that would work. lauren: yesterday he gave some pretty precise ideas. stuart: yep, i think he's right. tax break for developers, they'll develop. lauren: right. and then you get more supply, and you don't give people money which makes them just increase the price of a home. stuart: i think you've got it right. next case, citadel's founder and ceo, ken griffin, he has revealed plans for a new billion dollar headquarters in movement 57 stories. they're going to break ground, possibly -- probably, next year. the host of mansion global, katrina camp since, joins me no.

it's going so much a huge impact on miami, right? a huge impact. >> great to see to you both. thanks for having me today. a huge impact. i was born and raised in miami, so seeing just the transformation of this city has been quite remarkable. the waterfront glass tower is proposed to rise 54 stories over biscayne bay, and it's it's slated to be the headquarters of citadel. now, ken griffin relocated to miami during the pandemic and shortly thereafter he continued to bring a lot of his employees. there's 450 employees currently in miami with 4,600 employees around the world that continue to my grate to the miami area. migrate. miami has continued to become an international destination for all these financial companies, and this just solidifies it even more. not to mention that it's also helped the price of luxury real estate continue to rise because

all of these professionals are relocating. they want security, they want luxury and miami, quite frankly, is on fire and continues to be. stuart: here in new york city office a buildings, a lot of them, are half empty. i take it that's not the case in miami. >> that is absolutely not the case in miami. in fact, quite the opposite. you know, supply and demand is pretty well balanced right now in the miami market, and it's continuing to do very well. there are a lot of buildings that are slated to be built in the brickle area, and that's always been known as the financial district in miami for as long as i can remember. now it's taking it to a whole other level. and the office space is filling up. it's doing extremely well which, as you mentioned, is very different than the rest of the country. stuart: i'm told -- and i've heard this -- that miami is, essentially, the financial capital of latin america. is that true? >> it's always been the financial capital of latin

america, and now, quite frankly, i think it's becoming the international financial capital of the world. that's something that that ken griffin stated a few years ago. he said i foresee south florida and specifically the brickle area becoming, you know, what new york used to be at at one point in time. and it's important to note that a lot of these employees are loving living in miami because they get to do the hard work that's involved with running the fund and the financial sector, but yet they have a better quality of life. their families can enjoy miami, there's better weather, and so it's kind of the best of all worlds and also a lot of their clients love visiting miami which is why this building that's proposed to be built is also going to have a hotel, a rooftop hotel and two restaurants and a public terrace overlooking the water. stuart: you left one thing out of the list of attractions of miami, florida, and that is tax. there's no state income tax, there is no state estate tax. that's a huge draw along with

the weather and politics. am i right? last word to to you. >> oh, absolutely. and that's really what has transformed the city, especially after covid. everybody came here because we don't have state tax and because we're also very pro-business. that's also really important note. so, yep, it's continuing to do well, and it's leading the nation when it comes to luxury real estate. stuart: katrina, we're all jealous that we're not there with you. thanks for being with us. global mansions, see you later. >> happy friday. stuart: to you too. one town is offering people up to $20,000 to move there. okay, ashley, come on. where is this happening, and what's the catch? ashley: yes. there's always a catch, but it's in cumberland, maryland. it's a community located on the to potomac river in allegheny county about two hours from baltimore. it is trying to attract families because the population has dropped 12% since 2020. they're offering, as you say, up

to $20,000 which includes $10,000 in relocation cash plus up to $10,000 dollar for dollar match for approved renovations on an existing home or toward a down payment on a newly-constructed home within the city limits. but here are the the proif vise sew. applicants must purchase a home and live in it as a primary residence for no less than five years. and if a newly-constructed home is bought, the value must not be less than $150,000. you also, of course, must be 18 years of age, be eligible to work in the u.s., gotta have a full-time job or proof of self-employment. but they say, hey, we'll pay you to come here. stu. stuart: not a bad deal. the catch isn't that bad. all right, ash, thanks. coming up, the tsa bracing for 17 million travelers at the airports weekend. even more people will be hitting the road. jeff flock has the full labor day travel report next. ♪ shorty got low, low, low, low,

time, well, you can't prove it by me here on interstate 76 just going through philadelphia because it appears to be something of a traffic jam as maybe you see on another camera. here's what the experts say though in terms of when you should leave. today before noon would have been the best time. the worst time, between 22-6. 2 2-6. on monday coming back, just finish yi, earlier the better. they say through 8 p.m. it's going to be a mess out there. that is because i think more people are traveling, maybe because the gas is so cheap. i know not cheap enough for you, but it's about a 50 cent piece less this year than it was this time year, and that is leading, as you pointed out earlier, to a lot more folks out on the roadways. we think a 9 increase in -- 9% increase on folks on the road and in the air. and speaking of the air, the tsa thinks almost 3 million, 2.86

million people will be screened today. i leave you with a picture perhaps out the front of the car, maybe you see a guy with a -- he's taking his skidoo out to wherever, mr. varney. it could be you if you do that this sort of thing. stuart: no, i don't. i've got a bone to pick with you though. the best time to leave is not before 10, it's before 4:00 in the morning. that's when you leave. guaranteed no traffic -- [laughter] you're driving in the dark, but that's the way to go. lauren: did you do that when you had children, stuart? stuart: okay, did you pick that up, jeff? did i do that with children? yes, i did. >> reporter: i'd give about a week's pay to see you at 4:00 in the morning with your van full of your children back in the day. i would give a week's pay to see that. lauren: i second that. stuart: i don't have it on tape, but i can simulate it. [laughter] okay. out of time. hey, jeff flock, be careful on

the road out there. you're in philadelphia. you're in pennsylvania or don't forget that, son. [laughter] all right, well, the average price for a gallon of gas is $3.35 right now. that's for regular, 14 cents cheaper than a month ago and 47 cents cheaper than last year. clearly, there is a down trend. gasbuddy guy, patrick dehaan, is with us as he often is at this time of year. gas prices are falling. is this trend going to continue? >> well, stuart, there's a couple areas of interest out in the atlantic that we monitor and, obvious, hurricanes can make a pretty big impact on prices. i don't want to say we're in the clear yet, but it's looking better and better that we could see gas prices falling through the fall especially with the rumor mill churning that opec is going to return some of those oil production cuts back in. that would raise production. oil prices plummeting today as a result, and that's going to keep motorists happy through labor day. we're at about $3.33 since midnight, so down another penny and a half, and i do think maybe

by turkey time we could be talking about a national average below that a $3 a gallon mark. stuart: whoa! i drive around new jersey, and the price that i am paying now is about $3.20. it had been lore. you think aye got a -- lower. you think i've got a rough chance by thanksgiving at getting a 2-handle on a price of regular many new jersey. what's my chances? >> i'd say pretty good unless you're going to seek out those extensive -- expensive stations. you probably have a 95% chance that that you'll find one of those sub-$3 prices and or or again, between thanksgiving and christmas will be the time for that although it may happen or, or stuart, as you approach halloween. maybe a little bit of a treat here for you ahead of the trick or treat holiday. stuart: one last one. i drive a tractor on my farm. it uses diesel. i'm paying $3.700 a gallon for diesel now. is that going to go down? >> i think diesel prices will probably go up especially by

halloween. that's because we're going to get into colder weatherer. that's when much of the nation switches from diesel to the heating oil, especially in new england, in the northeast. so i do think we'll see a higher price for deals as we move closer towards the winter although the state of the u.s. economy probably has a lot of influence on that. diesel now at its lowest level since prior russia's invasion of ukraine. stuart: yes, i know that. all good news. patrick dehaan, thanks for joining us. >> thanks, stuart. stuart: let's have a look at the dow 30, see what's going on. there's a lot of selling, a lot of red ink there. it's about two-hisser down, one-third up -- two-thirds down. the dow is off 82 points. 41,252. all right, sports fans, don't go anywhere. friday feedback is next. ♪ ♪
