9:00 am
trillion-dollar plan, there is a lot of controversial stuff in there, as you all have been talking about also 1400 dollar payments to households, not rich people, but middle class people 75,000 dollars and under, and so i think one of the questions is do you not want to give them that money? >> all right. thanks to the panel and have a great weekend everybody, stuart: good morning. the economy is coming back strong. president biden may call it neanderthal thinking, but using state restrictions is clearly helping the economic recovery. here's the latest example, in february, 379,000 new jobs were created. i don't care if that meets analysts expectations are not, the fact is there is a strong uptrend in job creation.
9:01 am
355,000 new jobs created in leisure and hospitality. that's a direct result of states opening up. this economy is taking off and it only gets better as more states open and more people get the vaccination. this will be our focus throughout the show. look at this, long-term interest rates moving up again, that's the inflation scare from a booming economy. we are now at 1.59% on the 10 year treasury yield, way up there. asked for the market's reaction, the dow jones is a shaking off a fallacious fierce. it will open with a solid gain come up over 200 points of him with the nasdaq. it was close to the correction territory, close to it, but this morning there's a modest uptick despite those rising interest rates. that's with you-- that's what you have on the market this morning, booming economy and markets higher. we have a major
9:02 am
development in scandal surrounding new york's governor, kemal "wall street journal" and "new york times" report cuomo's aides altered the report on nursing home deaths deliberately undercounting those deaths. cuomo's team denies it, but the governors facing a crisis. 31 new york state officials are calling for his resignation. we are covering ebay, which has now banned the resale of those six dr. seuss of books, another major platform bowing to the woke brigade in imposing censorship. caving mac and a knee joints what do she make a president trump youtube channel still banned until the risk of violence ends, censorship is a major thing today. and larry kudlow will be here to analyze the booming economy, he should know, he worked directly to the president who i think rated this boom. is friday, march 5, "varney & co." is about
9:03 am
to begin. ♪♪ stuart: is that a sort of stock market? i don't know. let's get right at it. straight your money with a nice rally going on in futures, of 200, nearly 275 on the dow jones industrial with nasdaq gaining ground as we speak and s&p up about 1%, almost. broad-based rally. look who's here, kenny polcari, fortunately the man in the seat right there in the day when the markets are rallying. thank you for being with us. i'd we play this back to work booming economy
9:04 am
trend we see, how do we played on the stock market? >> today's report was strong, everything you have been saying that the economist turned around in the country is turning around, but i'm not sure that you will get dragged into this you know the euphoria this morning is very different from what we experienced yesterday based on trending inflation rates higher, the yield is higher so i don't think that stories over, so you continue to remain cautious. pick your points, picked the stocks that will do well, energy, financial, cyclical names will do well. i don't think you just go all in. you remain focused and you have to pay attention to what's happening. we have the weekend coming and next week the story could change immediately. rates are taking about 1.6% in the markets completely signing it off as if it doesn't make a difference, but yesterday 1.6% said the market into a tizzy, so the focus day will be
9:05 am
about this report and how great the economy is now the world is waking up, so i think you stick with the plan, the industrials i'm a cyclical, financial, energy are places, technology always, but we are in the technology space, things like the internet of things are places where you want to be is where i think you will want to be. stuart: if there is any red flag on your horizon, what is it? >> inflation, inflation. i continue to be concerned. inflation is going to rear its ugly head and suddenly it's going to surge in minutes not going to come back the way that powell or brainard said the other day that they thought it would be transitory and a little spike in inflation, but my sense is that once inflation starts to kick in, and it's going to kick in and be like a mean trade this momentum trade and it's going to take it higher and they will
9:06 am
miss it and they will be behind the eight ball and then we will be talking about the fed being forced into position to raise rates. they are going to raise them by a quarter or 1% that they had been talking about for 10 years. they will go up by a half a percent and think it's really bad and if they go by one full percentage point which i don't necessarily think will happen right away, but that's what could happen if he gets out of control. stuart: we do second, 30 seconds left, you really think inflation could get to the level where the federal reserve steps in and jacks up the discount rate or so-- you think-- surely not. >> i just said do i think we will get there right away, no, but my fear is inflation is going to rear its ugly head and they are paying attention to it and it will rear its ugly head and they will find themselves behind a ball and then they will have to force a significant move that the market isn't expecting. that's my fear.
9:07 am
stuart: kenny, we will watch out for that and hope it does not happen. kenny polcari, thank you for joining us back to big tech stocks. susan, run through it because we have a rise in long-term interest rates which is supposed to be bad for big tech and yet big tech is bouncing slightly higher. susan: given the nasdaq was very close to the in correction territory which is down 10% from recent peaks, the live today after the better jobs number not entirely out of the realm of possibility, so some are looking at the lowest level for the nasdaq since early january and the big tech is still down a lot over the last few weeks. apple down almost 20% from its peak at the end of january. nvidia at bear market territory. paypal, tesla, tesla has a lost its third of its value after it hit $900
9:08 am
a share how i said tesla is about-- down on the year and definitely lower than the 650 level when it entered the s&p 500 at the end of last year and tech is usually reactive and higher interest rates because it makes them look less attractivey when you get guaranteed money on us government bonds, but given the selloff we have seen i think people are just dip buying and looking for bargains a. stuart: extraordinary day, rates up, economy booming, big tech modest recovery at best come quite a situation. now let's turn our attention to the heavily shorted stocks which have been in the news for six weeks. susan: gamestop rallied in the afternoon session yesterday when i saw all of that red and the losses on the tech and monastic and a sippy 500, gamestop is up with another reddit wallstreetbets crowd piled into gamestop briefly. it did not hold it, but
9:09 am
mean stop play is paying her outlet. is being shorted right now leaning hedge funds are betting the stock will eventually fall. also note a yesterday and rockets the reddit rebellion target the past week and coming off the recent doubling higher by 2% today. one morning to throw in their sundial has been one of the most actively traded contracts for weeks now, most active-- second most active in the premarket this morning. it's usually in the top five at least they think the broader market pullback has probably doled the reddit rebellion at least for now. stuart: i noticed on your list of those a stocks there you have fuvov tv. susan: 30% of fuvov tv stock is
9:10 am
being shorted, 30% of the stock will fall and it makes sense with the lives of sports stream or, it is up, google tv is up 400% this past year and also an explosive growth company over half a million paid subscribers at the end of last year which is up over 70% from 2019. yes, great growth, but has it gotten ahead of itself if it's still not making money? stuart: got it. i think it's about time that we take a look at bitcoin, $48000 a share now below 50000. give us a stated-- the state of a place. susan: is down for the same reason stock markets have been falling, higher interest rates. we do still have a staunch believers, micro strategy bought another 205 bitcoin for $10 million in cash at the price of 48000. at $2.2 billion, micro strategy along with square, tesla are the
9:11 am
companies using their cash piles to buy bitcoin, which they see as an appreciating asset that is good for the balance sheet to leverage off of princeton's micro strategy selling bonds to raise cash off the bitcoin staff and cathie wood said she's been opportunistic with bitcoin below 50000 crypto crack and thinks bitcoin will get to million dollars a coin, but here's the thing, look at the grayscale bitcoin, the most popular etf consider the easiest way to play bitcoin for the average investor. it is down 5% this week trading in at discount of its actual bitcoin holding for the first time in four years and we are almost breaking below $41 yesterday. stuart: okay. how about dogecoin? the dallas mavericks will now let fans buy tickets and merchandise with dogecoin. susan, that sounds to me like a pr stunt.
9:12 am
susan: maybe or trying to appeal to the nba fan demographic which tends to have younger and more international-- cuban justifying the move by saying we have chosen to do so because sometimes in business you have to do things that are fun, engaging and hopefully generating pr so we will take dogecoin today, tomorrow and possibly forevermore. the mavericks have started to accept bitcoin in 2019, but dogecoin is only the 10th or 13 largest crypto currency. bitcoin cross the trillion dollar mark, why not ethereum which is the number two biggest crypto currency anyway we know mark cuban is a crypto believer. even bought a crypto arc which i talked about earlier this week. stuart: did he buy crypto art? susan: yes. stuart: he still knows a good pr move when he sees it and doing dogecoin i guess gets him public

9:19 am
stuart. i mean, whatever happened to the long dark winter we were supposed to be flirting with a recession in the early months of 2021 and apparently that's not happening. my goodness. of the consensus of the first quarter mobile gdp will expand by well above average 4.5%. my goodness. the atlanta fed gdp methodology calls for growth of nearly 10%. stuart: okay. tell me about wages. i didn't dig into the jobs report really deeply, but i believe wages are going up more quickly. is that accurate? >> that's a big surprise. as you mentioned earlier, this latest increase in jobs was driven by a huge increase in the number of jobs in what is considered to be the low-paying leisure and hospitality industry. nevertheless, for the first time ever the average hourly earnings
9:20 am
grew above $30 per hour, up by more than 5% from a year ago, so we continue to see healthy gains by personal income that will be supporting consumer spending moving forward to. stuart: what about interest rates though? i mean, that's the real problem is that? long-term rates are really rising. we have 1.6% on the 10 year treasury today. with such a strong economy and rising wages, are we in for a bout of inflation later this year? >> we will see headline inflation rise, but i don't think it's going to become a recurring phenomenon. we are not going to have a repeat of what occurred during the 1970s when year after year the rate of consumer product inflation the tire. the upturned by inflation will be brief and as far as i'm concerned, the latest increase by treasury bond yields, it was
9:21 am
still very low like 1.6% , it's more reflective of improving real economy, profits growth than a worrisome chunk in long-term inflation risks. stuart: okay. you are making us all feel good, john lonski and we kind of like that on a friday morning. thank you for being with us. now, we talk a lot about states opening up and yes indeed texas and mississippi have listed their coping restrictions. that doesn't mean that all businesses are guaranteed to follow suit. susan, what's with mcdonald's? susan: the golden arches is that they are keeping texas and mississippi dining rooms closed with mask mandates still in place and that's despite both state governor's list-- lifting the mask rules and ordering 100% reopening of businesses. mcdonald's joins many businesses keeping the mask requirement in
9:22 am
place even in the lone star state while albertson's, and a number of local restaurants said they will get back to full capacity and no mask in texas so it really depends i guess on which company you work for because they are all defining their own policies right now. stuart: that's exactly the right thing, i think. you are private enterprise company. susan: free market. stuart: take your own business decisions, free market works for me. thanks. checking futures because we have about eight minutes to go before we open trading. is a rally, 300 up for the dow jones, 150 for the nasdaq and we will be back to cover it for you. ♪♪ lately, it's been hard to think about the future.

some say this is my greatest challenge ever. but i've seen centuries of this. with a companion that powers a digital world, traded with a touch. the gold standard, so to speak ;) stuart: it's a rally. we are about three minutes before we open the markets and we will open higher. unconfident about that. show me big tech-- big tech, premarket. i can see a modest bounce when the mott-- markets open. let's bring in jonathan hoenig because he's been cautious on the markets and he has said in the past that the selling in
9:27 am
big tech is not over. what do you make a today? >> i'm happy to see big tech because it's been pretty vicious selling and it's always your own context whether your longform or short-- short-term as an investor. we have seen the something we haven't seen in a long time, hires interest rates and as you pointed out lower tech stocks. the findings spending, but the pandemic think philly is starting to come to an end. we had to spend the first stimulus and now they're talking about a second stimulus pushing interest rates off the board, talking about higher inflation and that is not good. technology stocks like apple go from 140 to 120 mean these are owned by all of us s&p 500 index fund and you never know if this dip just a dip or the beginning of a bigger move. i say caution is still
9:28 am
warranted despite the selloff. stuart: i always think of you-- forgive the expression, classical economists in the sense that i always thought you believed that if it-- you chuck a bunch of money at the economy, you will end up with higher inflation rates. well, we are chucking a bunch of money into the economy you could do we have an inflationary spike at some point this year? >> you know, you have to realize so few investors remember investing during inflation as your previous guest talked about turkey up to go back to 1970s. we have seen a big move higher in a lot of agricultural commodities, the strongest stocks icr oil reflate-- inflated stocks. the market is very forward-looking and it might just be that the market begins to selloff continues to selloff even as the pandemic is
9:29 am
ending just as it's rallied when the pandemic was wreaking terror, so that's the way markets are, forward-looking and i think inflation is on the way. stuart: okay. we have been warned, thank you. >> have a great weekend. stuart: the price of gold is below $1700 an ounce. used to be in inflation indicator, apparently it's not now. have a great weekend. at the opening bell will bring in about 50 seconds amounts what we will see. we will see green across the board dow jones up maybe 300. s&p up maybe 40. nasdaq up about 130 points. this is a reversal on the trend we have seen for much of this week where rising interest rates pushed stock prices down pretty much across the board. quite a selloff especially for the nasdaq, which was close to correction territory, that is down 10% from its high.
9:30 am
looks like it's going to bounce off that this morning, but that's how we open. you never know how we will close. here we go, close to the opening bell. the bell is ringing. it's almost 9:30 a.m. let's see how we do this friday, march 5, 2021. we are off. i just saw someone press the button. the only stock i see in the red amongst the dow 30 is disney and that is down a fraction. the other 28 stocks are up. american express not open yet. it's unchanged appeared the bottom line is, we are up 278 points in the early going to the dow jones, almost 1%. 1% plus for the s&p, 1.03%. nasdaq, 1.16%, nice balance. if the nasdaq went up 164 points today, it
9:31 am
would be positive for the year. big tech always in the news especially recently when it's been selling off. i would call that a modest bounce microsoft up 1%, up 1% for google, less than gains were amazon, facebook and amazon and apple. we are one minute into the trading session. i want to know about tesla. what do we have on them this morning, i don't know if it's up or down. susan: it is up, not by much. tesla is still down 30% on the year. we talk about dan eyes who's a test lowball and he said he still bullish could be a buying opportunity for ev plays especially one that have a big footprint china and he said electric cars are global 5 trillion-dollar market opportunity over the next 10 years thanks to surge in demand coming from china. tesla should be a huge benefactor because they
9:32 am
already have their shanghai factory up and running and they are already winning the charney-- chinese market selling him as two times more than their next three competitors. i went to show you another electric car play. this is an embattled car and truck maker cut by j.p. morgan down to a hold only worth $30 but that's a stretch trading is at 15. stuart: i'm more interested in tesla, to be honest with you. was in it $900? susan: $900. 620 is where it's trading now and that's actually below the 650 when it entered the s&p 500 at the end of last year. down about $30. stuart: seems to me tesla dances to a different drummer from just about everyone else. [laughter] stuart: forgive the cliché, but
9:33 am
it seems to be a special case have the time. show me the price of oil i'm sure the price is up because we have this very strong economy, $65 a barrel. i take it susan, the energy sector is a leader of today's rally? susan: yesterday, if you look at the entire breakout of the individual sectors on the s&p 500, only the oil sector was up in that selloff. best-performing sector on the year, the quarter, the month whenever you want to call it, oil is getting a boost after opec's said they would extend production cuts to april with rush on board so chevron making an announcement buying oil drilling services company. chevron rallying, exxon and upgrade, so a holder from a cell and exxon is worth about $50 and their recommendation do so seems like energy is probably the reopening trade of the year so far along with the travel
9:34 am
stocks. stuart: susan, i went to talk about cosco. susan: of course you do. stuart: you know it's one of my favorite retailers. i read their earnings report and i read what the cfo is saying, that they are selling a lot of bacon. i don't know why, but they are selling a lot of bacon cosco. why is the stock not doing better this morning when we are facing a booming economy? susan: from what i saw they actually made less money in the quarter than wall street anticipated so that was a bit disappointed that wall street really has high expectations for cosco which has done so well in the past year during the pandemic year. this is where you go to greet your fans. bacon is up 45% for whatever reason they say and you heard this from the cfo on the earnings call yesterday with a lot of demand for bacon. also price inflation with pork prices up a bit on the year and cosco hugest salesman
9:35 am
comes to digital, surging 76% with but traffic up 13% again with the highest they have seen in foot traffic in close to 10 or 12 years but the company experienced a some supply chain issues which resulted in higher cost, but people are still paying for their bacon even though prices went up. stuart: who would've thought we would discuss bacon prices and bacon demand when we discuss cosco? who would have thought but here we are in the middle of it. susan: during the pandemic. stuart: it easy to cook and it tastes great. show me, please. that is a surge. what happened? susan: the greens weren't that great but the parent company of gap, old navy and banana republic is sounding optimistic predicting apparel sales will rebound in 2021 because people will go back to the office and
9:36 am
more people will go to school and that means they need to dress and buy more fashion. sales in the most recent quarter came in below forecast which again as i mentioned was a bit disappointing, but is the shift to online helping to offset the decline with in-store sales. stuart: i think the underlying theme on the market today is this a booming economy that we saw from the jobs report and the likelihood that the boom will continue. susan: don't you think it's a reopening theme as well? stuart: absolutely. susan: sane people will get back to work and school and they need to look better and by more close and they will be motivated to do that. gap, chevron, oil companies is a reopening playwright there. stuart: absolutely. show me or call. they are up three and half percent, nice gain something going on? susan: we don't talk about it enough. stuart: no, we don't.
9:37 am
susan: business services company by larry ellison, one of the richest man on the planet that an upgrade today and i have not seen an upgrade for quite some time, calling it an $80 stock. they are saying by this a stock and it is still in the midst of trying to close the deal with tiktok and walmart so it looks at the deal by not go through, but this is a recovery, reopening story and more companies willing to spend more this year and may be used more of their services. stuart: let's wrap this up. we open the market is friday morning with a very strong jobs report. we have an uptick in the long-term interest rates and a look at that, we have a rally on wall street. still to come, more trouble for governor cuomo "wall street journal" reports,'s advisors altered the report on nursing home deaths. they deny it. we are on it. next, larry kudlow, the economy is booming and i think he has something

stuart: twelve minutes into the trading session and the rally is holding, but not on the nasdaq. we were much higher than now with the gain of 10 points for the nasdaq, 200 points up ford dow industrials norwegian cruise lines, you may think a cruise line would be due-- would be doing well for the back to work trade, but it down 9%. they have announced a public stock offering a 47 million shares, raising money, 47 million shares dilutes the stock holdings of people who already own the stock
9:43 am
and that's why it's down 9%. stocks are strong this morning, not a surge, but they are strong following the big jobs report earlier. it's the first full month of the biden presidency and we had a 379,000 new jobs created larry kudlow joins us as of right now. strong jobs report, larry. i think it's a booming economy. does that hurt the case that we need more stimulus? >> yeah, well he should it won't, but it should. [laughter] the logic is on your side, i mean, this is a good report. it was a spectacular, but it was good, moving in the right direction especially with private payroll up 465,000 and at the unemployment down to 6.2%, good stuff and households up over 200,000, so i think you're right. look, the whole issue you know you have the sort of permanent
9:44 am
shutdown lobby going on in washington dc where if you open up your state you are a neanderthal, so it's a weird story washington and the biden's are in denial just how strong the economy is underneath it all. retail, housing, manufacturing, construction and so forth a very strong. or jobs will get better and better. stuart: they are. look, they are in denial, larry because they know deep down this is president trumps policies that have created this expansion. is president trumps warp speed vaccine that created this expansion. they don't want to admit that. they don't want to say that economy is fine and our president is responsible, they can't say that. >> well, you know a could if they are honest but they won't. this is the theme of my show every night. every night i talk about this and probably again tonight.
9:45 am
you have roughly now i think from the cdc stuart, 83 million vaccinations. that was done on the shoulders of president trump operation warp speed, entirely right. by the way, president trump gave them a daily run rate of 1.3 million vaccines as of inauguration day so you are 100% right on that. i went to san terms of the economy and job opportunities, because of vaccines skyrocketing and because we will probably hit herd immunity sometime in the late spring or early summer, and because the case rates in the fatalities are plunging you are getting more and more and more reopening any in connecticut for example, a blue state the governor is now 100% capacity in pretty much everything, maybe not quite every bar, but it's wide open. yeah, you should wear a mask, it's up to you.

so, you will see bigger job numbers in the months ahead, march, april, may. february was still affected by the last spike and some lousy winter weather but this is promising and we shouldn't be in denial. 1.9 trillion so-called relief bill is pretty much a waste of money except for maybe eight or 9% of it, so sure, but what we can do, they will pass this thing. you know it and i know it. stuart: one quick question about inflation. long-term interest rates moving up to matt 1.6% today on the 10 year treasury. is it onward and upward from here in this booming economy, inflation? >> i reckon so, not inflation so much, here's where i make a distinction, i think most of the rising market rates, not the target rate, but market rates, most of that is coming from real interest rates which is a signal that the economy is growing again
9:47 am
and that the returns to capital arising, so that's held and i am sure that tenure is going to 2% and that is okay. on okay with that. regarding inflation, i think some reports coming up will show a higher cpi, i don't deny that, but look the dollar is steady and actually year to date the dollar is up couple percentage because the us economy is vaccinated and reopening and is much stronger, so i think some prices are going up, but i think other prices are going down. individual price changes or relative price changes, so i don't think you're going to see a total inflation glass off in the next you know bunch of six months or something and if anything will jump it will be temporary, just -- look, people are overplaying their hand. don't expect the fed, traders yesterday were hoping the fed would buy
9:48 am
bonds and get long rates down. they are not going to do that. traders should just a trade and stop whining. stuart: larry, you should not be shy about taking credit for the economic policies that have created the boom. you shouldn't be shy. i expect to some taking credit when i watch you this afternoon at 4:00 p.m. and again at 7:00 p.m. on the fox business network. always a pleasure to come back soon. >> thank you, stuart. stuart: instacart, the grocery delivery act may skip an ipo and go straight to a direct public listing. public through a direct-- that's what i'm trying to say. what is that mean, stuart? susan: a lot of high flying unicorns are flying with this direct listing. they are not ipo's. you don't raise new cash, it's more in
9:49 am
opportunity to get out and sell out for early investors in early employees, not just instacart coin based the largest exchange looking for a listing for the hot ipo last year's saw soaring results. the only people that benefit are the wall street funds that have been establish relationships with the brokers and then they get to flip the stock in 24 hours for easy gains in less than 24 hours so i think people are learning the lessons from eric bmb. stuart varney? stuart: hey, for about 35 years in television i was known as stuart and then bill hemmer on fox news started to call me stew in the last two minutes larry kudlow and you called me stuart varney. susan: evolution. stuart: i'm not sure i like it. got to go.

dr. seuss or wanting a mr. potatohead or something else. i think it is a very concerted effort by a very small group of people. i don't think it's representative of all democrats, but certainly it is some on the left to redefine the american family, to tear down the nuclear family and to try to redefine who we are as a people by taking away some of those cultural icons. and i think it is a dangerous path. my friend rob o'neill who's the famous navy seal, i saw he tweeted out yesterday, he said, you know, it's never the guys that ban the books that are ever on the right side of history. something like that. and i think that's right. and i would also point out that the biden/harris administration, they seem to be some of the best at selling these books, because now there are record high sales and selling ammunition because they've talked about banning guns. so their selling a lot of books

10:07 am
stuart: how do i play it? look, i think we've got a booming economy. i think things get even better come the spring as we open up more states. how do i play that? what do i buy today that would take advantage of a rapidly expanding economy? >> i am very bullish on service-oriented names. so things that will take advantage of people getting out of their homes. so restaurants, any type of hotels. but for me, my faith names are a name -- favorite names are a name like jets, it's an etf that is a basket of airlines. this is a good buying opportunity. i also really like disney. disney's actually done okay because its streaming service has been lucrative through the lockdowns and the pandemic, but the reopening and people going to visit their theme parks is going to be huge for disney. so that's another name i really like as well. stuart: what evidence do you have to suggest where people are
10:08 am
spending their stimulus checks? >> well -- stuart: going into the stock market? i mean, are we paying down our credit cards? what are we doing with all this extra money? >> well, as it turns occupant, most people are saving it. if you look at the personal savings rate in the united states following each time we've received a stimulus check, it spikings. so at the end of 2020 before that $600 came out, the savings rate was about 13%, which is high. normal savings rate in the united states is about 7. as of the end of february, the savings rate was at 20.5%. so people are actually saving it. they're not really spending it, which is why you haven't seen huge rebounds in retail numbers or other types of consumer spending. but i do think that once we start to reopen, especially over the summer and, you know, we're talking about having enough vaccine to vaccinate all adults in the united states by may, if that actually occurs, i think what you'll see is people start spending it on experiences,
10:09 am
going on trips, seeing family, getting out of the house. that is where people will be spending their money, and that is where i'd be taking advantage of opportunities in the market. stuart: got it, shana. thanks for joining us, have a great weekend, please. thank you. all right, let's see. have we got some movers? i'm going to start with boeing. actually, it was a big mover, now it is just -- it's actually down a fraction. susan: yeah. higher by about 2% in the premarket, but boeing, i think, is worth mentioning today because we have investment banks getting more bullish on the stock. an upgrade from -- who says it's worth $275. so that's 20% up from these current levels, and boeing is tapping bankers for another $4 billion in cash just in case this recovery takes a little bit longer. wall street seems to like it, overnight with 2% and an outperform yesterday as well. now, core lodge jibbing, which is a zillow competitor, big decline after having second
10:10 am
thoughts with rising interest rates and, of course, that might cool off the real estate boom. microsoft, you know what? its $10 billion pentagon contract might be in danger. a new administration is coming in, new defense leadership, and there might be a rebid with other companies for this lucrative project, which i thought was interesting. check out gray scale's bitcoin trust. today it was up, up 4% just a few minutes ago, but that's how volatile the markets are. gray scale was trading higher with the move up in bitcoin strategy. and finally, tesla just went sub 600. look at that -- stuart: whoa. susan: yeah. and don't forget it was added to the s&p 500 at 650, so it's down roughly 30% plus from those $900 peaks. stuart: that's amazing. when i saw tesla at $900, i never thought that it would come
10:11 am
all the way down to where it is now -- susan: had the same reaction thinking who's buying this at $900 when you're trading 100 times sales? stuart: yeah. well, there is extreming volatility today, and tesla is just one example of that, i think, down 4.5%. susan: yeah. stuart: we've got an impressive jobs report this morning. what is it, 379,000 new jobs created, there you have it. susan: yep. stuart: that was just in february. where are we seeing the most hiring, susan? susan: the hardest hit sectors during covid, a huge gain in recovery in restaurants and travel, leisure and hospitality adding 355,000 jobs in the month of february. jobs in food services and drinking, which is great, as hopefully more states reopen. retailed ad 41,000 jobs. manufacturing gained 21,000. however, some severe winter storms last month cost the construction jobs, around 61,000 of them, in the month of february. interesting stat here, the
10:12 am
remote work trend. that went down a touch, the proportionality of workers still working remotely, that is still over 22%, and that's still 13 million but coming down a little bit and, hopefully, more dramatically as more of these states reopen and we get the vaccines out there. stuart: susan, thanks very much, indeed. the biden administration still refusing to call the influx of children at our southern border a crisis. >> [inaudible] >> do you believe that right now there's a crisis at the border? >> i think that the answer is, no. stuart: not a crisis. so why are they sending a team to the border? former acting i.c.e. director tom homan here on that next. should regulators take a look at elon musk's bitcoin betweens? the ceo of the $31 billion payment start-up says, yeah,

10:19 am
crisis. it's a crisis, they're not being truthful to the american people. they should if they were telling the truth, they would say we purposefully took away the trump policies piece by piece, so now we have an unprecedented surge which is bringing more people illegally into the country. that would be a truthful statement. stuart: you know, tom, what drives me crazy here are those youngsters. can you imagine there are 14 and 15-year-old girls unaccompanied, arriving at the or border, and they're gone to be farmed out across america. i don't know where they're going, i don't know who's picking them up, i don't know what's happening to these kids. i think this is a disgrace. this is an absolute tragedy in the making right here. do you know where these kids are going? >> no, they're going to hhs, but then then send them out to sponsors or parents who paid to have them smuggle here. so the government will finish
10:20 am
the conspiracy by delivering the children. look, everybody says tom homan's a bad guy, and that's why i lost my temper the last couple hearings because i said people are going to die with this kind of strategy. children will be hurt, women, 31% of women get sexually assaulted making this journey, and it's already started. we had that suv crash in california where 13 died. you can't make these type of enticements and have people come across uncontrol. people will die and children will be hurt. stuart: that's the point, isn't it? they've been invited in by this administration during the campaign and after the election. they were invited. the way was cleared for them. and i want to pick up on your point here. the cartels, they're making a fortune, right? >> let me -- the biggest session baiters of the election were the criminal cartels of mexico because based on the premise that joe biden made during the campaign, they said, hey, we're
10:21 am
back in business. so they're making millions of dollars a day. and, you know, because nothing happens on the northern border without the cartel, first of all, the drug cartels get a piece of the action. they work true the plazas while paying them off. their making millions. so the enticements and promises made by the biden administration has caused this surge, and that's the truth. and when they're asked that question what's causing this crisis, we did. that would be the correct answer again. they've caused this i crisis. it's not by accident or incompetence, this is by design to fold to the left on open borders. stuart: i don't see anything being done about it in the immediate if future. tom homan, we do appreciate you telling us how it is. we like that. thank you, tom. best to you. >> thanks for having me. stuart: all right. a complete change of subject, why not? the pope has arrived in iraq. it is a three-day visit. my question, susan, is why iraq?
10:22 am
susan: many reasons. he wants to end violence and extremism, foster peace. we know iraq recently the target of iranian heavy missiles. now also, this is the first international trip for the pope since covid9 and the first ever to iraq. he's being protected by 10,000 iraqi security forces and round-the-clock curfews in the country to make sure the pope is safe from any extremists. pope francis is also trying to bridge the connection between the different factions and religions. he will celebrate mass at a stadium in i biel in the north and pope francis also said iraq's dwindling christian community should have a more prominent role as citizens with full rights, freedoms and responsibilities. did to you know iraq has one of the oldest crisp chan communities in the world -- christian communities in the world, stu? and the numbers have gone down over the last two decades to roughly a quarter of a million which is less than 1% of the population. stuart: they've been terrorized

10:24 am
yes, questionable in the senate. but critics say this is all about the unions trying to get more money. stuart: kill it, please, so we can make our own decisions about how long we want to work, where we want to work, what hours we want to work. susan: yeah. stuart: freedom's a wonderful thing. susan: if you talk to any gig worker, that's exactly what they want. stuart: what country is this in let me change the subject.

10:30 am
she spoke out last night saying ap apology simply is not enough. she's one of the three women who is accusing him of either sexual harassment or inappropriate behavior. >> then he explains at that point that he is looking for a girlfriend. without explicitly saying it, he implied to me that i was old enough for him, and he was lonely. >> reporter: the other controversy surrounding cuomo's administration is the handling of nursing homes during the pandemic. "the wall street journal" is reporting that cuomo's top advisers convinced state health officials to alter numbers in last summer's report on nursing home covid deaths. that changes, quote, reveal that the state's fuller accounting at facility nursing home deaths as early as 2020. the health department resisted calls by media outlets and others to red.c. the data for
10:31 am
another eight months. in january new york's attorney general found the state underreported deaths in long-term care facilities by as much as 50%. the governor's office is responding to last night's report saying that it left out patients who later died in hospitals because the department of health could not verify those numbers. while more than 15,000 new yorkers died in long-term care. now, there are two separate investigations, of course, one into the nursing home deaths and, of course, an investigation into the allegations of these women who were who are accusing him of sexual harassment and unappropriate behavior. now, today is also the day that the new york state legislature could likely vote on whether or not to strip governor andrew cuomo of his pandemic emergency powers, of course, something that we will be watching today. stuart? stuart: got it. alex hogan, thank you very much, indeed. appreciate it. all right. i want to bring in tammy bruceen on this. tammy, what does this scandallal, when it's -- scandals plural, actually.

what does it tell you about the democrat party? and, tammy, i ask because if cuomo was a republican, he would no longer be the governor. he'd have been out weeks ago, am i right? >> i think that's fair to say, absolutely. and this is what is, should be concerning to all americans, certainly democrats in general, is that this is a crisis of character. this is a man who's been the governor of new york for ten years, had a federal position as the secretary of hud with clinton and was seen as the rising star, maybe the attorney general for joe biden. certainly future presidential material. and this is who he is. and i think he's perplexed because he has been protected for so very long. and it tells you the general corruption and what someone like that who is a leader in the democratic party, what they expect, how they behave. in other words, you can't have a

nursing home -- well, it's more than a scandal, it's massive death because of a specific order of someone who, when he saw what was happening -- and how could you not know, this is like throwing a match into a dry field of grass. when you would know what would happen and then you just think you're going to be covered and protected. of course that attitude is going to affect everything else. the story in "the new york times" will have a tremendous impact because it confirms that they knew this was happening earlier, that the effort to cover it up was multipronged, people were under pressure, there was intimidation, people were afraid of losing their jobs, and it was at that point that he decided he was going to write his book lauding himself for being such a good, you know, governor of new york for the virus when he knew this was happening specifically because of it. so this is about the nature of democrats' i would say leadership overall. they've known this man for
10:34 am
decades. they're known -- people say, just like we've heard from all the sexual harassment scandals, well, everyone knew. but when you've got this of course it affects everything else when it comes to policy. what else has this man done to this city and state that he's lied about? and there's a poll that still says the majority of new yorkers don't want him to resign, but don't want him to run again. but that was before the ney times and the "wall street journal" -- new york times and the "wall street journal" story detailing the degree to which they scrambled to high to the people of new york and the people of the country. stuart: what a story. tammy bruce, thank you very much. >> it's amazing. stuart: we appreciate it. it is. >> thank you. my pleasure. stuart: if you'd told me a few months ago we'd be talking about this at this level, i would have said that's out of the question, but it is happening. tammy, have a great weekend. see you later. i'm going to read directly from the item prompter, d teleprompter, okay?

[laughter] susan: so, yes, let's check in on the stock market. americans apparently are buying more clothing once again. the gap is getting a boost because they want to look good going back to work in person and back to school, and we know that gap is recovering and forecasting recovery in apparel sales. costco, your favorite retailer, supply chain issues meant higher costs resulting in lower salessen than what wall street had forecast. still, though, a huge jump in bacon demand, up by 45% in this quarter. that was interesting. more shopping online as well, almost doubling. and let's get back to that correction for the nasdaq that we're seeing, down 10%.

[laughter] look at these colors. isn't it fascinating? very tempting, isn't it? this is the collaboration we were talking about with chipotle teaming up with e lf, which is a makeup retailer, and this will launch in five days. you can find the burrito-inspired makeup collection, $16 eye shadow, 12 shades inspired by tobacco mole -- guacamole and salsa. you also get salsa lip gloss, some chipotle-inspired sponges and bags. enticing for you? stuart: no. and i'm going to leave this story entirely with you. i'm not touching this with a
10:46 am

[laughter] all right. this is another one for you. meghan markle responding to accusations that she bullied staff members at buckingham palace. that's serious. what is she saying, susan? susan: she's saying that they're all lies, perpetuating falsehoods is what she said in that oprah interview. prince harry also participant of this collaboration, comparing their treatment by the royal family reminding him of difficult times his mother, princess diana, went through. >> my biggest concern was history repeating itself because i can't begin to imagine what it must have been like for her going through this process by herself all those years ago. it's been unbelievably tough for the two of us, but at least we had each other. susan: unbelievably tough, stu.
10:47 am
i would say that unbelieverly tough is probably making less than minimum wage, trying to put food on the table for a family and a roof over their heads, but, hey, i guess everyone has different definitions, right? the relationship between prince harry and meghan and the royal family described as at an all-time low. cbs will be airing this interview in the u.k. as well despite the fact that prince phillip, as you know, still recovering in hospital, 99 years old. stuart: i just wonder what the response of the brits will be when they see that interview. i have no idea what the response is. i don't think that meghan and harry are that popular any longer in britain. susan: yeah. stuart: i think the sentiment is very much with the queen and her family's side of it. susan: right. and there's a battle over branding, as you know. because they are part of the royal family. some would say that they won the genetic lottery, prince harry did, by being born into the family. should he be allowed to make
10:48 am
hundreds of millions of dollars in commercial contracts off the royal family's branding. stuart: well, that's one thing that you do not do if you are a royal, you don't use your position and your title to make money. susan: yeah. stuart: that's not what you do, and i think that's what's making him particularly unpopular in britain. all right, super, i think we've discussed -- susan, i think we've discussed that one enough. i'm sure we'll get back to it. the sports streaming site, fubotv, it started trading in october and has been a wild ride ever since. i think it's one of those reddit meme stocks, actually. i'll certainly ask the ceo about it because he is on the show coming up shortly. first though, should regulators take a look at elon musk's bitcoin betweens? we have a block chain ceo here momentarily to make his case. ♪ -- forget about the prison

and i see no end insight. where's the turning point. when is it coming? >> the turning point is starting to come. we commissioned a poll of 1100 americans that just came out last night and asked about cancel culture specifically disney's cancellation, 50% of americans are less likely to purchase goods or patronize disney as a whole. 60% of independents say cancel culture has gone too far. 47% of democrats said cancel culture started to go too far so i think there's a growing number of people opposed to the idea of canceling people but are terrified of being canceled themselves if they stand up, being held hostage by a small portion of america that is running this but so many people are afraid to speak out. as this continues there might

be business impact where people stop patronizing businesses but americans on both sides of the aisle say this doesn't sit well with me, they may not be speaking on yet but waiting for more people to stand up so they can rally behind them against cancel culture because we need it. stuart: somebody has got to stand up later. thanks for joining us, see you again soon. i have some good video for you. look at that. this turns me on. those are astronauts conducting a spacewalk at the international space station. what are they working on? >> reporter: they are working on solar panels to supplement the iss's power supply. of space turns one, 236 spacewalks, nasa astronaut kate ruben, soichi noguchi carrying out the spacewalk. virgin galactic is down today

because it's chair, remaining $200 million of personal stake in the company, wouldn't you say this is par for the course where you have big fund managers that want to take their money out of riskier assets to preserve cash just in case. stuart: par for the course. you have seen it before and it is happening now. 19% down, that is a selloff of virgin galactic. youtube suspended donald trump's account two month ago and the ceo says it could be a permanent ban. i will ask kayleigh mcenany who is making her first appearance on this show shortly. stock started trading in october, a roller coaster ever since. you can thank the redit guys for that.

we have been public for 3 quarters now. we raised guidance three times. we have exceeded all our kpis, market share continues to grow and looking at net additions in the fourth quarter, we came in a number of 2, 92,800. it is a big move for us, we are growing company and we don't look at the short-term turbulence and we focus on long-term strategy. stuart: you are hoping to get 770,000 subscribers in total and the victory purchase will help do that? 3 quarters of 1 million? >> that is our strategy and we are confident given our results that we will be able to obtain those numbers.

11:35 am
50% because then they will, quote, operate profitably. we are standing in the concession area in the times square location. amc is opening all of its peers across the city but patrons should expect a different experience, the new cleaning protocol, mask requirement and capacity limit 25% still cannot exceed 50 people. amc reopened half of its theaters in the fall, so reportedly lost millions per month because a lot downs, several movies had to skip the theaters, they went to direct streaming services. wonder woman 1984, has been out from an streaming on hbo max was one agency and decider expects this to be the new normal. >> that is something that may not change a whole lot going forward. hollywood was already shifting this way wanting to get movies

11:45 am
hand-picked questions. the staff does not have faith that he could stand at the podium and have a press conference the way donald trump did many times. stuart: they are protecting him. they are protecting the president from himself. they don't want to see him stumble over words, get confused, lose his train of thought as he may will do if he were subject to the rough and temple of a real press conference. they are protecting him i think. >> i think that is exactly right, you hit the nail on the head when you mentioned his staff. use our president biden say i am happy to take questions if that is what i am supposed to do. i see jeff back and forth with peter doocy and seemed to relish the moment a little. i don't think this is president biden saying i don't want to do this, those around him recognizing when he does speak it doesn't always turn out so well like calling republicans neanderthals as he did recently in the oval office. stuart: i am concerned about the silencing of donald trump. youtube's ceo explaining why his channel will stay suspended. role tape. >> the channel remains
11:46 am
suspended due to the risk of incitement to violence. we will lift the suspension of donald trump's channel when we determine the risk of violence has decreased. stuart: i wonder if you have spoken to donald trump recently. what has he got to say? >> i spoke to him this week. i spoke to him in the wake of the twitter band. he said it was freeing not to have twitter, a lot of time on his hands. he is doing fine without social media but what a travesty, this culture, root someone out of the public square. this is about stopping violence, this is about stopping trump, stopping his ideology, his movement by removing him from society. we should all stand against it. date is donald trump they are going after, tomorrow another member of the conservative movement, it is because one person, a behavior pattern that should not be tolerated in the united states of america. stuart: do you see any sign
