simi: two branches of our family split apart. david: but now, ancestry helped connect us to our ancestors and each other. michael: find their stories. gigi: at ancestry. maria: have a great day. thank you to dagan and john. "varney & co." begins right now. take it away, stu. stuart: good morning. you know, we really ought to call this the bubble report because so many have gone straight up recently. on a monday morning, everyone wants to know the state of a play, does the surge continue or are there signs of a bubble bursting? let's start with bitcoin, the price dropped big time over the weekend, it-- a few minutes ago it was up and now, we have it at $56690 per coin.
9:01 am
that's the current price, down of the weekend. dogecoin is a crypto joke and it's actually priced at 40 cents per coin and when i checked a couple hours ago, that's a bubble, 40 cents, dogecoin. as for the dow industrials, they have been up for four straight weeks setting new highs with a slight downside move this monday morning, dow jones up about 40, s&p may be down seven and the nasdaq down a 61. that is not a bubble bursting and is not a big selloff. 10 year treasury yield 1.59%. tesla, two men died after a tesla crashed into a tree near houston saturday and authorities believe it was operating without anyone in the driver's seat. that is important. the stock is down 2.3%. news on the great reopening,
9:02 am
not in michigan. the governor keeping restaurants to 50% capacity and asking children as young as two years old to wear a mask . in oregon, a move to keep pandemic safety measures in place indefinitely. how about that. dr. fauci is still ultra- cautious same vaccinated people can still quote inadvertently infect others, so double mask up. i guess we can be free again when there is not a single case of covid to be found anywhere. dr. fauci also says we may be back to okay taking the vaccine from j&j again later this week. fine, but the damage has surely been done already. i think we owe a big thanks to the governor of florida, ron desantis , he says if you are immune, act immune. we have a big show, wait till you hear congresswoman maxine waters if derek chauvin is not convicted of murder, she
9:03 am
wants more confrontation. isn't that incitement to riot? work from home, to states offering big money to remote workers willing to relocate. would you over-- relocate for $12000? and the schools, youngsters in california may not be back in the classroom even by the fall of this year, unbelievable. monday, april 19, 2021, "varney & co." is about to begin. ♪♪ stuart: looks like a nice day in new york city and so it is compared to florida, but nonetheless we will take what we have got. susan: how do you enjoy the weather today? stuart: i like it. let's get to this, dr. anthony fauci says he expects the johnson & johnson vaccine to resume usage later this
9:04 am
week. watch this, please. >> hopefully by friday we will get back on track one way or the other. >> by friday, the cdc advisors meet friday, but you think that's actually when j&j will be on paused? >> i think by that time we will have a decision, but i imagine we will see it come back in some sort of either warning or restriction, but what i am sure of-- i hope that we don't see anything extended beyond friday. we need to get friday some decision one way or the other. stuart: friday, one decision one way or the other. dr. marc siegel joins us now in my opinion is the damage has been done already. what you say you? >> i agree, the damage has been done. we are talking about one in a million people, one in a million people that may be affected and, i mean, how many people have gone on cable tv and they should be
9:05 am
ashamed of themselves saying what you should be on the lookout for. on the lookout? for what, one in a million? we should be on the lookout for watching too much cable tv. one in a million, so this is extremely extremely rare and we in the medical profession i all the time deal with potential side effects with patients and when it is one in a million i don't even mention it unless the patient wants me too go over the laundry list, so on and norma's amount of damage has been done as you say to vaccine compliance, vaccine confidence, that's also important right thou because we have 50% of americans already have one shot, 85% over the age of 65. we are on our way out of this thing if the people get vaccinated. stuart: the governor of florida, ron desantis, is slamming what he believes is the cdc vaccine mixed messaging. watch this. roll tape, please. >> my view is, if you get a
9:06 am
vaccine, vaccines are effective and you are immune so act immune. i think the messaging on this has been horrific. the messaging should be, get a vaccine because it's good for you to do it. it works. you are not going to have to be doing anything like abnormal like you can live your life, i mean, that's gotta be what the message is. stuart: you have been vaccinated, you are immune so act immune. what you say, doctor? >> i like that messaging especially since the cdc numbers show 66 million people were vaccinated, only 5800 got sick and they only had minor illness. the difference between florida or michigan where i was just one in michigan and in new york everyone is walking around like a mummy, and florida people are out on the beach, restaurants, they are not getting sick. he's absolutely right, you have to act like you are immune. maybe when you are indoors in close confines and a store owner cannot tell if you've been vaccinated or not, that
9:07 am
makes sense to wear a mask if you are vaccinated, other than that, act free. i went to indoor restaurants in michigan, no one else was there by the way, but i was vaccinated and i was completely fine. the governor of florida is right and he's saving the economy and that's why everyone is moving down there. stuart: you have that right there, doctor a lot of people are moving down there. dr. marc siegel, thank you. let's get back to money with futures showing some red ink, but not much this monday morning. jason katz is joining us right now. all weekend people have been asking me, is it time to sell, is it time to get out. what would you say-- and i'm sure you have been asked to that question, what do you say? >> without equivocation, the answer is no, remain locked. there is still $4 trillion with a t on the sidelines and whether that is the money that came from the 2009 crisis where people have trepidation to get back in, a
9:08 am
lot of ppp money which i see through my client base still on the sideline, not to mention unemployment benefit money and then people simply are stuck at home not able to spend. now, we are starting to see people get out and spend. last week was a terrific week , not so much because the market went up, which was great, but the blistering retail sales. goldilocks inflation, not too hot, not too cold and the job numbers are starting to improve so the answer to your question, remain long, but remain thoughtful and cautious because we have made a big big move here. stuart: okay. you are looking at what, 4400 on the s&p 500 right now around 4100 right now. you say 4400. i can't work out the percentages, but it's a pretty strong again. do you think the game comes in the next few months? >> i think it comes by year end and i think it's a bumpy ride, i mean, look, you cannot-- not you, stuart, but one cannot mistake a bull
9:09 am
market, i mean, we've had somebody people indiscriminately by without regard for evaluation or doing research. those days are over. you need to be discerning. you need to be bullish, but discerning. you want things to pass the instagram test. if you see it on instagram, if it's post- worthy, then i think you want to buy it. consumer discretionary area is viable. europe which is lagging behind the u.s. and vaccinations and lagging behind in the reopening, lagging behind evaluations, two thirds of our ppe, that's viable, you just cannot blindly throw money at the market. stuart: now, you can't. jason katz, thank you. see you again soon. let's get to bitcoin. ice-- i need coverage of what happened over the weekend because there was quite a drop. it's 56000 right now. susan: the lows were 51000 and a change, way down.
9:10 am
stuart: you didn't buy? susan: now, still waiting the 40000 or so entry point but you are down almost 1% from recent highs on sunday alone, down 15% so the reason is regulation. there is concern the u.s. might be cracking down on money laundering through crypto currencies and that includes bitcoin and you have china's new digital currency competing against bitcoin while they also spend crypto money and inner mongolia which is been a haven because there's cheap electricity for power. stuart: didn't know that spilled . susan: turkey announcing their banning financial payments using crypto so a lot of regulatory headwinds. that 15% drop sunday may look like a lot for average investors but if you have been invested in bitcoin, that's only the biggest loss since february, so you don't have to go back to long to see this. you have to expect volatility when you invest in crypto
9:11 am
currency. the other crypto currencies also following over the weekend, but dogecoin still up 40% sphere it's now worth $51 billion on the market cap. get this, berkeley viacom cbs, ford and taco bell owner yum brands-- stuart: you have to admit that's ridiculous. susan: no, it's not. stuart: wait a minute, a crypto founded as a joke is worth more than the four motor-- ford motor company, you don't find that ridiculous? susan: no because i think there's different risk assessment depending on your age and tolerance so as a 25-year old you look at something like dogecoin which is worth $51 billion and it only took eight years to get there so look at the doubling effect in the past decade. stuart: i'm listening. we have another three hours to go. all right, foxbusiness alert, minneapolis on edge bracing for unrest as we wait for the
9:12 am
verdict in the derek chauvin trial. listen to congresswoman maxine waters urging protesters to be more aggressive role tape. >> more active, you've got to get more confrontational, you have got to make sure that they know we made history. stuart: many people say she is inciting violence and in the full story. congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez is set to reintroduce the green new deal. we are all over that one. a quick look at futures, we will be down slightly at the opening bell. economists peter morici will be ripped-- with us and he predicts big summer rallies. he will tell us why after this. ♪♪ ♪♪ [announcer] durán catches leonard with a big left. ♪♪ you can spend your life in boxing or any other business,

act now! stuart: we do this every morning around this time. we show you a beach shot from florida just to make you jealous if you're anywhere else in the country. that's actually a b-- beautiful view. looking at futures with a bit of red ink, left-hand side of your screen. peter morici is with us. peter, what is this about a big summer rally ? do you mean a rally, higher prices from what we have already? >> absolutely. right now the s&p looks very overvalued, 44 price equity ratio with a stark average 25 years, 26. we are facing an over 50% jump in profits in the second quarter according to-- if you factor that in all of a sudden the earning ratio is
9:18 am
on historical average and with more profits coming up in the third and fourth quarter, i mean, that's the stuff that rallies are made. also, the current rally in the market has been extraordinarily broad-based. the history of broad-based rally as they build on themselves . about average for these things would indicate 15, 16%. i think that is a lot given where we are now i'm a but i can see the s&p at 4500 by summer's end and this time next year 47 or 4800. not that we won't have setbacks, i mean, we always do, but the economy is coming back in the recovery of profits is broad-based and this is no longer a tech rally. it's un-american rally. stuart: you must have been asked over the weekend, when do i sell, when do i get out, what you say to people who ask you that question? >> when you are old and need your money. timing markets is just not very good unless you are warren buffett and warren
9:19 am
buffett advises against it telling people to do what i do, you know the average guy can go around picking winners who will come out of the pandemic in which airline will only go down 10% on business travel instead of 30. he advocates rod based indexing and so forth, put in some every month and ride it. i continue to do that. i know it's not as sexy as you like it to be an analytical, but i look at bloomberg and i see these ratios on topper ratios and reminds me of some of the data mining ice on graduate school with people trying to tell me that people will come back to new york. stuart: just stick to watching foxbusiness look, aoc and senator markey plan to reintroduce the green new deal this week and wait for it, they are adding a new quote civilian climate call. peter, i'm sure you have something to say about that, go. >> i don't know that it's a bad idea to recruit young
9:20 am
people to do constructive things, but i would rather train them, you know in ways that will help them get a job , i mean, what is this civilian climate core going to do? 's night-- not the 1930s where we build dams with bricks and mortar and the rest of those folks will not be able to put in solar panels are billed when. you know what they are going to do, they are going to get woke indoctrination sit in rooms and get hammered. stuart: they will be the inspectors that come around to every house and say you need to fix that, you need to fix that. that's what they are going to do. >> i would love to see a 19-year old show up and say you really ought to have a few more solar panels annually-- need a little bit of ventilation, i mean, it's getting humorous. stuart: almost. >> at some point typical middle-class americans will look at their tv screen and say the squad is nuts, markey is worse and it's time to start to vote for republicans again.
9:21 am
stuart: may be. peter morici, thank you. we will see you soon. >> you take care, now. stuart: a serious stuff here, two people dead after their tesla crashed into a tree in houston, over the weekend. no one was in the driver's seat? susan: that's the problem, tesla's owner manual says even if it is self driver mode there should be driver supervision and not the case with this fiery accident with two passengers involved. no one was in the driver's seat. one was in the passengers in the the other was in the back so the tesla model crashed into a tree after veering off course in a tight turn, burst into flames that burn for four hours and needed 32000 gallons of water to put out. tesla offered the selfless driving feature on the car costing $10000 extra for an upgrade and the national highway traffic administration says it's investigating this case and 23 active investigations involving tesla cars, so elon

musk between the autopilot 10 times lower chances of accident than the average vehicle, one accident he says for every 4.19 million miles driven, but obviously this is a bad pr and its tragic. p2 people died. stuart: it is tragic. we don't know the exact circumstances, but we know no one was in the driver's seat. susan: there should be hands on the wheel and active supervision, i mean, what were they thinking to just let the car drive itself and it would be totally okay? stuart: should have hands on the wheel i guess is the bottom line. susan, thank you. if you are just joining us, you want to know is the great selloff here yet or the great surge continuing and the answer is a tiny selloff at the opening bell. looking at gamestop with shares up. ceo resigns and the stock goes up 11%. what is with that? susan has the answer after this.

belski who says the market is right for a correction. hold on a minute. we used to introduce you as bullish brian belski and now you are talking about a correction. explain yourself, lad. >> good morning to you too, young lad. i would say markets are rarely linear for a long and we need to slow down a bit. i'm not talking about a 10%, 15% correction, i'm talking more chopping trading especially after earnings come out. earnings are doing their job and we know that and so we need to have a little bit of a respite and a quiet period in between earnings period and i think the cell and -- selling rhetoric may go away and be a lot i'm proud this year so i would say don't believe that. if there is a pullback in the market you should be aggressively buying it. we won't see a bear market correction, more chopping trading and then stocks are higher at year end and a lot
9:28 am
higher a year from now. stuart: we just had peter on the show in his economist talk about profits going up 50% in the second quarter of this year, that sounds enormous to me. what say you? >> that's about right. that's where consensus is we tracked this in november when we put our number out and our number has always been a 50%. economists are typically late in what they are saying, no offense to mr. morrissey, but the market has ran a bunch and we need some consolidation. i agree with the bullish stance that he may be shortsighted with respect to how fast the market will go up following earnings. i think markets go up before earnings. stuart: what do you say when asked the question, and i'm sure you have been asked the question, when is it time to get out, when should i sell and cash in from this enormous rally? >> we do believe the dollar averaging and we do not believe in market timing. you should be invested.
9:29 am
there's no problem being tracked towards your waiting so for instance if you own a 4% position in the stock, and the position goes to 4%, peel back 50 basis points and stick with your core position. that's the best way to trade this market and be an active stock picker. focus less on the indices and more in your individual stock holdings. stuart: last one, real fast, the classic advices if he made a lot of money in a stock, sell half of it so you take an profit off the table, but let the rest of it) do you think that is good advice? >> i think for the blanket rule, yes. it to keep you in the stock, but it depends on your overall stock holdings, but that makes sense. you can't take a profit unless you take it, stuart. stuart: isn't that the truth, but then you have to pay the tax on it. formerly always a bullish brian belski and now may be
9:30 am
looking for a correction. we will reintroduce you next time around. thank you. it is monday, april 19. those gentlemen clapping will -- there you go there ringing the bell and we are about to start trading. let's see where we go because we have had a fabulous run for many, many years let's how we go today. i'm expecting some red ink at the opening bell. down about 60 for the dow jones and more than half of the dow 30 are indeed in the reading. that is not a big selloff when the dow jones is at 34000. as for the s&p 500, it opened with a fractional loss, down .20%. i think it's pretty much the same with the nasdaq which is also opening on the downside, again, not a huge loss by any means. the nasdaq is down slightly and there is a big tech microsoft, apple, alphabet, amazon, facebook all on the downside this morning, but
9:31 am
again you have to have a sense of proportion. that's not a big drop for those big tech stocks which went straight up last week and the week before. gamestop on your screens up 9%. the ceo resigned and the stock goes up? susan: it's that transition so away from bricks and mortar to online digital and it's a long-- we knew george sherman would step down at some point, now, we have july 31. this is part of ryan cohen cofounder and the turnaround plan. most of the board will step down in june. two executives already left and income to amazon executives and there have been job interviews to fill the ceo role. those in e-commerce, gaming and technology is where you want to push gamestop. roaring kitty-- stuart: go ahead, roaring kitty. susan: this man owns $30 million worth and he
9:32 am
actually retain his co- options on friday meaning he now owns close to 200,000 shares worth more than $30 million. he could have sold 50000 shares friday-- he bought in at $12 and he could sold and made $148 a share and instead he kept it because he has a strong belief in gamestop which is also another vote of confidence. stuart: i don't want to digress too much but you used a new word, tell us traded. susan: it's in the dictionary and also a triple word score in scrabble meaning i indicate to you what's going to happen in the future. stuart: okay. show me peloton, please. the serious stuff here. peloton is down nearly 6%. a child died on an accident on one of their models, the tread plus. susan: corrected. stuart: regulators issue a warning. what does peloton say? susan: not as consolatory as you would imagine peloton ceo
9:33 am
: the consumer products they morning as inaccurate, misleading and this is after the federal agency said families with young children or pets should stop using the tread applause after the case of the child dying and also more than 39 cases of injury your guy did not know about the 39 cases. owners should also unplug when they are not using. we should point out that they don't sell as many of the treadmills as they do their bike which is their flagship product and peloton stock is about 500% on bike sales so the fact that you have tread plus , possibly with the warning and this new generation treadmill may hurt business a little bit. stuart: not the bike, the treadmill. got it. harley-davidson, they should be up, yes nearly 10% peer strong recovery in the first quarter and their guidance suggested 35% growth in that business this calendar year. that is enough for a 10% game
9:34 am
for hog. coinbase down today 3%. is this in reaction to bitcoin's drop? susan: bitcoin prices falling. that's the reaction. also, we had ceo founder brian armstrong, some-- it's interesting how they were selling out on day one which is kind of what direct listing does and doesn't raise new cash, gives an exit point for early investors and employees so brian armstrong selling out 750,000 shares worth about $300 million. he made some pretty good change. stuart: a tiny bit. susan: he owns 20%, i mean, he's the largest individual shareholder in coinbase, so why shouldn't he be able to exit, make some money because let's be honest he's been in this for nine years. stuart: is not a signal he has no confidence, just that he's taking a huge cash
9:35 am
call. susan: you need money to survive, don't you? stuart: cathie wood update. susan: friday she added two more than her 300 million-dollar holdings of coinbase and a big endorsement for coinbase. stuart: we are five minutes in and we are indeed retreating from last week's record high spirit taking a look now at the big winners amongst the dow jones 30, energy companies in there and so is apple by the way, apple at 134. s&p 500 winners, who are they? harley-davidson, a couple others, energy companies and diamond energy-- diamondback energy i think. nasdaq winners, netflix straight up today. that ease also on the upside nicely there. first solar, to enact percent, not been following it, what's going on? susan: for the biden green climate change stock you know

the solar panel makers and getting an upgrade from cd being called a by from neutral and they say there is multiple positive catalysts with a 10 year extension as the federal solar tax credit. did you know that? stuart: no, i did not know that. susan: if you are being subsidized by the government of course you will make more money. stuart: i don't know who gets the tax credits. susan: some of these solar panel makers. stuart: checking travel stocks, the ceo of expedia group peter kern says the companies gearing up for a big travel read that-- rebound saying hotels will come screaming back. may be onto something. we have seen more than a million travelers pass through the tsa checkpoint every day for way more than a month and on sunday we reached that number 1,572,000, tsa checkpoints as of sunday and the number keeps rising. travel is back peer next,

9:43 am
bitcoin training in 2017 and also shut down local crypto currency exchange and promoting the use of its new digital currency for the beijing winter olympic in 2022. they are trying to make it possible for foreign athletes and visitors to use it and it could be the first step for china's digital currency when it comes to international users and why not do it on a big platform like the olympics. i think you have to be careful don't you think because with the digital currency in a digital-- they can track you and where you use it, where the money goes, i mean, there is no hiding in that case a. stuart: ain't no hiding. and a lot of people want to hide. by the way i will get you an updated quote on bitcoin. it's still around 56000. i will give you the movement shortly. is still a bitcoin, went to bring in a guest who has appeared on the show before. her name is nikki beesetti. she is with us again peer now, you made money as an early bitcoin investor. i know you sold some of your
9:44 am
bitcoin and paid off at least some of your student debt and i think you bought a car. so, as a representative of your age group, if you don't mind me saying that, are you buying more bitcoin now? >> yeah, thank you for having me again peer so, yes, i'm continuing to invest in bitcoin. the strategy i currently use now is dollar pocket averaging so instead of putting a lot of money up front i actually put money as i go so i do in increments, so that way over time it tends to increase in value. stuart: forgive me for asking, but as a representative of your age group, if you don't mind me saying that, are you using stimulus money? the government checks, are you playing the market with your government checks? >> i actually did not receive a government check this year, so no, i have not. stuart: sorry about that. a lot of other people did you know. would you ever consider
9:45 am

>> i'm not at the boy-- point where i went to retire. i want to continue to teach financial literacy to gnc, millennial's and teach them about the value of crypto currency in the potential. stuart: do you see real value in dogecoin? >> i think when dogecoin started, it was a meme currency so it started as a joke to make fun of crypto currency, but it's evolved into something so much more and i think there's an argument that there is a so much in this and sometimes the most entertaining option is an option that's a fun thing to go with. stuart: it's certainly entertaining, that's a fact. nikki beesetti, thank you for coming back on the show and congratulations on all the money you have made. come back and tell us if you ever sell dogecoin thank you. let's get back to the markets, 10 year treasury yield is exactly 1.60%.

9:54 am
and it makes it the lowest price model. three grand less than a ford mustang-- they also throw in three years of pre-charging on the electrify america charging network and volkswagen is building this out as part of the diesel admission scandal and you can fill this up in the best case scenario to 80% charge in about 38 minutes, but it's not always that quick. this one here the dellwood shopping center in new york, but there's only about 20 of these in the entire metropolitan area right now where there's 20 million people and 569 nationwide so if you don't own a home it's a bit tough to own as an electric car is most of them are, but is very competitive, great ride, not a sporty car at the tesla model y, but coming out of the normal
9:55 am
compact crossover you really wouldn't miss a beat moving to this. stuart: has anyone died on analysis of the cost of gasoline versus the cost of electric recharging? does it work out, any idea? >> generally speaking, at home it's much cheaper to charge on your own. i'm on this superfast charger and it costs about $12 to fill the sub to get maybe 100 miles of that range. that's not good at all but that's when you are on the road going quickly. volkswagen throws in three years free for that peer. it's when you charge, where you charge, several better cost wise to fill up an electric car, but it's a whole lifetime experience as far as what it costs to own and operate an electric vehicle. it's coming down. it's on par if not better in a lot of cases and i think overall you come out of head if you drove this quite a bit but if you only drive 15 or 20 miles a day then things

stuart: put him on the air, there you go that's steve forbes and i want to know what he think s about this idea, the classic advice. you sell half of the investment from which you've done very well , leave the other half on the table, take your profit. what do you say, steve? >> i think you have to distinguish between your retirement money and your non- retirement money and your retirement money, you should always have a little bit of a cash reserve but if you aren't set to retire, leave that money in there, markets will crash but markets always come back and dollar cost averaging will make you look like a genius compared to money managers. in terms of your non-retirement money, yes, have that cash reserved but also, i think inflation is going to be coming next year so go into stocks like energy, oil is going up not just because of supply and demand but because also the dollar is going to be losing value and have a little bit of gold that's still going to be better than some of these cryptocurrencies although i
10:04 am
think the revolution is happening there in terms of using them for commerce which is what happened with pay pal a few days ago but in terms of taking a little off the table, fine, do that but just know that emotions are your enemies and now is the time to do it and people say oh, i made so much more money, just know they never tell you about their losses. psychologists have told us, people's pain of losing is huge and they never tell you about the losses they just tell you about all of the geniuses they are in the up market so if it feels good, don't, if it feels bad, do it. we're in a feel good state. take some off, let the other chatter at the cocktail party you'll be able to buy when the market posts out. stuart: if it feels good, do it that reminds me of the 1960s actually, steve and you and i hads are of the same vintage, we remember the 60s well don't we? sort of. >> [laughter] we're still young and by the way , we've seen these market crashes before and you have to go through them to realize they can happen so take some off the
10:05 am
table, and just know, you never lose money taking a profit stuart: it's called the university of hand financial knox, i remember it well. you've got a warning for taxpayers. beware of the global minimum corporate tax. have at it. what's the problem? >> the problem is janet yellen and other financial gurus around the world or financial minister s around the world want to establish a global minimum tax to go after corporations they think aren't paying enough tax. the g-20 which is one of the largest economies in the world, are in discussions right now and establishing that minimum tax. no surprise, for instance germany and france are big on it and the u.s. has the highest corporate tax in the world and they want to hide minimum so they don't lose too much business to competition and even more is they're making noise about having a global individual income tax, just so they can pick your pockets individually in terms of business. this is just crazy stuff. they don't realize that when you raise corporate taxes that means
10:06 am
less money for workers, less money for shareholders or mostly pension funds, and retirement funds, and less money to invest for the future. so we have to fight that kind of thing but the joe biden and his supporters want to give us the highest tax in the world and have others raise the tax rate, so they think they won't pay a real big price for , but we all pay a price when you takeaway money from production people and put it in the hands of people at the washington politicians. stuart: taxpayers beware. i've heard that before from steve forbes and no doubt we'll hear it again steve thanks for joining us see you again soon. >> thank you. stuart: another steven joins us now that be steven moore. steven welcome back to the program. i read you stuff, you know i do, and you know that we've been reporting that businesses have a problem that can't get workers to come back to work. you say it's a severe problem. is it that bad? >> yeah, and by the way, stuart i want to add something to what steve forbes said when you're talking about is now a good time to take profits.
10:07 am
i want to add one detail that's really important, stuart. don't forget that biden is talking about a big big increase in the capital gains tax as early as this year. typically when that happens, if we go from a 24% capital gains tax to as high as 40%, now is a good time to take your profit, stuart because you'll pay a lower tax rate than you will next year or the year after, if that tax rate goes up, and that's what investors typically do. they trade their stocks, take their profits before the tax goes up. now, on this big issue about the labor force, we are seeing a big problem right now, stuart. we've talked about on this show over the last few months. i did a study with casey mulliga n that shows about over half of the workers who are unemployed right now are getting more money and unemployment benefits, food stamps, nutrition assistants all these other programs, rental assistants, than they would if they went
10:08 am
back to work. it's a really big problem. around the country what we're seeing i have a store down the street from where i live that says sorry, we're closed because we can't get our workers back. it's a restaurant. you're seeing that all over the country, stuart. we should not be paying people more money to stay unemployed than to go back to work but that's exactly what washington is doing. stuart: last one, make this real fast, please, stephen. the debt bond problem, we're obviously running up debt like crazy, trillion upon trillion of debt, and we always think we're going to face a debt bond problem, but we never actually do. when do we hit a debt problem? >> if i knew the answer, i don't know the answer to that question but i do know something every investor should be aware of. we just passed a marker. the debt, the publicly-held debt , stuart, is now over 100% of our gdp. 100% of our gdp. that is something we should be
10:09 am
very troubled about. when the debt bomb bursts i don't know, but we're in very troubling territory right now. stuart: but there's always modern monetary theory which says you just print the money to replace what was lost, and nothing happens. you got 20 seconds to refute that. >> well, it's a ride that works until it doesn't work, and you know, we've seen how many financial crisis in the last 25 years at least two or three when these debt bombs explode, so it's something for every investor to be aware of. i don't know when it's going to happen but it's a rule of economics. debts have to be repaid one way or the other. stuart: got it. thank you very much indeed, steve moore. i'm getting my stevens mixed up you see i had forbes or moore, one or the two and it's moore at the moment thank you very much stephen moore. >> thank you. stuart: we've got movers to report for you. what's herman miller? >> it's a furniture maker i was going to tell stephen it's okay you've called me stephanie in the past so what's an s name
10:10 am
here or there so yeah, we have herman miller today, furniture maker buying another accessories and furniture company for $1.8 billion as a cash and stock deal so if we could show you, that is up big but wall street is selling off herman miller because they've paid nearly a 40% premium in this deal and also a tesla model s, this is big news over the weekend, crashing into a tree in houston, texas, burning for four hours. stuart: yes but the losses have accelerated. >> yeah so we're down close to 6% now but this was a fireball and it was terrible pr for the company. it's a 32000-gallons of water to put out this four hour flame and the car was on autopilot at the time but no one was in the driver's seat so two passengers dying in this tragedy one was in the passenger seat and the other was in the back. stuart: can i just ask, it took them a long time to put out the fire. that is a feature of electric cars. is it not the battery? >> the battery burns.
10:11 am
stuart: so i'm told. >> and the fireball that it creates because of all of the electrical equipment that's involved. i was actually surprised there be a bigger fireball in electric cars, because there isn't any gas, or any oil to burn. stuart: true but if it is a fireball from the battery, that is bad pr indeed and i see it going down so 6% now. sorry i interrupted. >> do you want to check the bitcoin? stuart: yeah let's look at bitcoin. >> so we had bitcoin prices down 15% on sunday and you had the bitcoin play selling off, the grey scales, the paypals and the square, and finally i want to show you the airlines. you know united airlines came out to say their new seasonal flights will be scheduled to start in july. so more capacity, which means they are bullish travelers will come back and they're also offer ing a way for customers to upload their vaccine results on the united mobile app. stuart: so if you got the united app you've been vaccinated you can get that on your electronic and it becomes a passport. >> correct and what about

privacy we've become talking about vaccine passports. stuart: yes we have if i need to get on that plane i'll get on that plane no matter what. i want to go see my sons on the other side of the earth. still bitcoin current quote, 56, 385 bill sell-off over the weekend, it's actually a 64,000 bucks at one point. what was the problem? >> well it almost broke through 50,000 over the weekend we were like at 51,000 and change and just hovering there so the problem is regulation, there were concerns maybe the u.s. might crackdown on money laundering through cryptocurrencies and there was an announcement that may have happened this weekend. you also have china's new digital yuan now competing against bitcoin and banning crypto money which has been a haven because of the cheap power stuart: who knew. >> and you need a lot of power to mind bitcoin off turkey banning financial payments using crypto so there's a lot of regulatory headwinds i don't think there's anything new, because you go up, you come down , a long way fast and this
10:13 am
is only the what, the worst sell-off. 15% down, the worst sell-off since february, so only two months. i mean, imagine if a stock fell 15%, so you really have to go with the volatility but i want to show you the other cryptocurrencies it wasn't just bitcoin, xrp over the weekend but, your favorite, yes holding up we're still at $0.40 and change, so it has a market cap of $51 billion and that is bigger than a lot of established long-historied companies. yes, i know this is going to make you more skeptical so barclays, ford, young, viacom cbs, which is a traditional media company so think about it from a different perspective in terms of your risk appetite and your timeline so if a 20-year-old wants to buy in they think it will go the way of bitcoin they might have a case, right? you can afford to lose $0.40. stuart: but a 70-year-old doesn't have it. >> no, you prefer the black stones and 3% dividend yield, i get it.
10:14 am
stuart: i'm moving on, i'm sorry this is serious and i think pretty bad stuff. teacher's union chief randy wine garten weighing in on mother s leaving the workforce for child care but she doesn't admit it's because of school closing, good lord, we've got the story and did you hear this florida's governor slamming the cdc over their vaccine messaging. watch this again, please. >> my view is if you get a vaccine, the vaccines are effective, you're immune, and so act immune. stuart: yeah, you've got a vaccine, you're immune so act immune. the governor of new hampshire is going to join us. that state has just lifted its mask mandate. that's important. >> ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

10:20 am
first of all. ashley: good morning. stuart: do they wanted to letters toddlers to wear masks in michigan? ashley: they sure do michigan mask order now includes children as young as two years old but critics of course are asking how effective will that be have you ever trade to do that with a two -year-old good luck. a number of local doctors say it is just not practical but state authorities say parents should lead by example. for instance wearing masks while watching a favorite tv show together with their child, but you know, health officials acknowledge it will be a challenge. you don't say? stuart: [laughter] you don't say. you've had a few two-year-olds in your time and have have i. ashley: oh, yes. stuart: dr. fauci says vaccinated people should still wear masks why, ash? ashley: well because vaccinated americans can still be infected with covid and in turn pass the virus on to others, dr. fauci says masks will be
10:21 am
necessary until more americans receive the vaccine or the level of confirmed infections significantly drops. now, he says receiving the vaccine dramatically diminishes our person's risk of carrying an infection but does not eliminate it and says people could experience asymptomatic infections an by the way the current cdc guidelines recommend the vaccinated americans continue wearing masks in public, all though florida's governor would beg to differ. stuart: he certainly would, ron desantis has some strong words on that one, thanks, ash. i want to bring in the governor of new hampshire, chris hadsunun u because the great state of new hampshire, live free or die, i like that on on the license plates by the way, you've abolished and lifted the mask mandate so you're going in the opposite direction from dr. fauci. what do you say? >> well it's all about the data you have to look at where we are the fact we're among one of the fastest states in the
10:22 am
country in terms of administering the vaccine so the point that you were making earlier folks have the ability to protect themself, especially those in the most vulnerable population, and the result is over the last two months we've seen the fatality rate drop about 95%, so you know, we do everything with data, we do everything in steps so we've removed the state mandate, obviously a lot of businesses will still have it, individuals we still encourage folks to wear it and to socially distance but to have that state come down with the iron fist there's really no need for that and again we'll open up a lot of our business regulations in the next few weeks as well. we've been very successful with administering the vaccine and we're going to keep plugging away. stuart: well you've got, i think , more than 50% of the adults in your state have gotten at least one jab. i think that's accurate. now, what are you going to do, you've lifted the mask mandate, what are you going to do if you get a significant up-tick in cases? >> well we always are watching cases and variants and things of that nature but i think everyone
10:23 am
has to understand that we may see up-ticks and rises and falls of cases across this country both regionally and nationally could be for years but it's really about protecting those that want to protect themselves and because we've made that option available of the vaccine for those who want it, and a lot of folks are taking it we want folks to take it, it's great but we're not mandating that, so within the next few weeks, 97% of folks in new hampshire that want a vaccine are going to at least have that first shot and just the next couple weeks, so the speed of the vaccine-to-administration allows us to be faster about flexibility knowing that you could see cases especially in the younger population or just folks that choose not to get it. that's their choice if they don't want to protect themselves that way and overtime we hope that more folks take it but we're just doing great and we're able to provide that flexibility and have a great summer. stuart: does your state have a problem with outsiders relocating to your state, like for example, from massachusetts, and bringing their politics with them? you're laughing, but i think you've got a problem right there
10:24 am
right? >> oh, sure look, we love businesses and individuals from all over the country are flourishing into new hampshire. their economy is absolutely booming. our unemployment is right about 3%. if anything we have a workforce issue, again because we're so strong economically. one thing i remind it's our responsibility to remind folks why they came in the first place , right? why you came to new hampshire because we're different. we do it a little better, we do it a little faster, limited government, local control, low taxes that's why you came. leave your politics behind. stuart: you go to florida and see what they're saying about new yorkers. all right are you going to tell us right now that yes, chris sun unu is running for the senate in 2022? >> sorry i couldn't hear you, what? stuart: [laughter] >> look, between the pandemic, managing the legislature we're the only state in the country that flipped our legislature from blue to red this time, we've got a great opportunity to cut taxes i've got enough on my

local government policies and people are moving. >> i think you're going to see a difference between cities like new york that do not appreciate job, creators, businesses and say cities like dallas, or in florida. so you're going to see a big migration based on cost and quality of government, entrepreneurship. >> well hedge funds are already ready to leave new york city, possibly exploring a move to the sunshine state, you know they just recently raised taxes, income taxes on the top earners here in new york city. i think the highest local combined state tax rates. stuart: you make real money you live in new york city you're paying over 60% of your income every extra dollar you earn will go in income taxes. >> those that make a ton of money are the bankers, the high flying financial people so goldman sachs and are already taking steps to expand elsewhere likely going south to florida. we know carl icahn has already left there for florida,

$42 billion fund also headed south as well and that threatens new york state's coffers and new york city's coffers. did you know that those that makeover $2 million contribute more than a third of the city's tax coffers? stuart: yeah. >> so they're gone whose going to makeup the difference? stuart: well they don't care. so long as the rich, i forget what margaret thatcher set but it's something like they don't care if the poor get poorer, so long as the rich get poorer too and that's exactly right. >> but they haven't moved just yet. they're just preparing just in case, but the good thing is that there could be a demographic shift in new york city towards more younger, high-tech maybe. stuart: okay, well there is another driver to this mass exodus and that is, of course remote work. work from home, work from anywhere. bring in the executive chairman of intuit, brad smith, whose with us this morning, because he's working to get people to move to west virginia. are you deliberately emptying

field of opportunity for everyone but in terms of my personal life and our family foundation, west virginia is the house that built me and it's an opportunity for us to capitalize on this major trend, the shift towards remote work, and have the opportunity to introduce people to why john denver said the state was almost heaven. stuart: [laughter] yeah i remember that line, it was a pretty good one too. i work in midtown manhattan, as you know, just skyscrapers all over the place and they're all office buildings. at the moment, they're virtually empty. what do you think is the chance of people coming back? i want to phrase that the other way around. do you think that 10 to 15% of office workers will not come back to the office, do you think it'll be that high of a proportion? >> stuart i think it'll be higher than that. in fact going into the pandemic, roughly 4 million people in the united states already had permission to live anywhere they want to do their jobs. it depends upon the studies you want to refer to now but
10:35 am
estimates can be as haya 37-47% so there's a large population of people who can live anywhere they want and why not live in a state like west virginia where you have white water rapids and mountain biking and snow skiing and being able to do your job in the silicon valley or wall street from the glorious mountains. stuart: you make a good point brad smith thank you very much for being on the show today. tell us in the future how many people you actually lured to west virginia because we'd like to know that brad smith thanks for joining us, sir, appreciate it. >> thank you. stuart: didn't know he was from west virginia but he's got action, okay? we like that. >> and with the passes as well to ziplinend white water raft that's $20,000 on top of the 12 grand as well, so $20,000 total package. stuart: brad smith should have got into that meanwhile we've got elon musk on the screen. >> he's got 20 grand. stuart: that's because spacex just won a $3 billion contract with nasa. >> so he's only a moon lander and that's take astronauts from

lunar orbit from the surface of the moon, spacex already developing that giant rocket star ship to take people to mars one day, pretty soon according to elon musk. now first though, the star ship that giant rocket star ship will drop people off at the moon as well, why not it's on the way right? it's like hitchhiking across space. stuart: it's just very exciting. >> it is. stuart: to see this genius and he is, the man is a genius. look what he's done and now he's building a moon lander, and he's saying you go to mars soon? >> yeah. within this decade but also bragging rights for elon musk because this is a space battle between the two richest people on the planet so spacex winning this $3 billion contract over jeff bezos and blue origin and also by the way this will be the first crude landing on the surface of the moon in some time. we haven't been there for a while but there's still tweaking to do, since the last three landings of the star ship as i've shown you landed in a fireball the last four to five months. stuart: so the two wealthiest

10:43 am
school there, and students are indeed going back to class but wait a second. isn't there new legislation that could send them back home again, what's going on, grady? reporter: potentially, stuart so this new legislation signed by the governor expands the reasons that teachers can go on strike. it used to be that chicago teachers could only strike over wages and benefits, but now , because of this new law signed by the governor, they can strike over class schedules, hours and places of instruction and even under the old rules, the chicago teacher's union has gone on strike quite a bit, three times in the last decade including in 2019 there was fear they'd go on strike again during the pandemic, and the concern, even among people like lori lightfoot, a democrat is that the legislation could slow down the progress in school reopenings in the city. today is the first day of in- person learning for high schoolers in over a year in the city. other big city school districts have also been slow to reopen
10:44 am
like in new york and la and there is concern that this new law gives so much power to the teacher's union that if they don't like anything about this reopening process, they could go on strike if anything goes awry in their eyes. we should mention that it's actually illegal for teachers to strike in eight of the 10 largest school districts in the country. chicago and la, not among them. stu? stuart: thanks very much indeed, grady we'll be back to you later on this. randy winegarten is the president of the second largest teacher's union in the country and she's getting backlash over a tweet she sent out about moms leaving the workforce. ashley come back in again. what did she say? ashley: yeah. well, it's a less in in cause and effect that the president of the american federation of teacher doesn't seem to understand or get. randi winegarten said on twitter 115% of mothers with

young children left their jobs in 2020 because of child care responsibilities. now winegarten said that included being forced to stay home and watch their children when the pandemic shuttered schools around the country. i wonder whose fault that was. that's my addition. the response was immediate as you can imagine with many pointing out that the role of teacher's unions in keeping schools closed has been immense with one person asking how can you possibly post this article in good conscience? good question. stuart: oh, the teacher's union and my personal opinion are a disgrace in this particular incident. a year without school? come on. get out of here. oh, this one is for you. school board members caught on video eating, checking their phones, while a mom pleads for the schools to reopen. where did that happen, ash? ashley: well this is just simply plain awful in los angeles, in an emotional phone call a mother pleads with la county school
10:46 am

you thanks so much let's bring in dr. boblahita with us this morning, so doctor there's absolutely minimal risk with the j & j vaccine. look i'm not a medical guy but i don't think it should have been paused in the first place. what say you? >> i agree with you, and this condition of clotting in the central venus vein of the brain is so so rare, and we now know that what the antibody is, stuart, that's in the blood of these patients and it is also equally very very rare. i have actually studied that antibody with other conditions. it's called heparin-induced thrombocy topenia, but in this case, it means low platelets and clotting so it is very rare and the vaccine probably should have continued. stuart: has damage been done? i do understand that people are worried but i think look, has the damage been done?
10:55 am
>> damage has been done, you know there are a lot of skeptics out there that were just waiting for something like this to happen and the skeptics are saying oh, there's no way i'm getting any vaccine. forget about j & j's vaccine but they are worried all vaccines even though each is different, they each have a different mechanism of action, despite that, they're saying i am not getting vaccinated. even among healthcare workers i know saying i don't want the vaccine. stuart: what do you say to dr. fauci who says even though you are vaccinated, you could still have the possibility of distributing the virus. what do you say to that? >> well, you know, we simply don't know, stuart. if you're vaccinated with other people and in a closed space and you know everyone has been vaccinated, family member, clinic people, yeah you can go without the mask but if you're in a public place like a church, school, bus, airplane and you don't know whose infected and whose not, that have or have not been vaccinated, you have to

11:24 am
pete has signaled his opposition. rick has said the biden here's a administration is contacting states to take the children, nebraska is declining their request because we are reserving our resources for reserving our kids. stuart: blake burman at the white house. thank you. actor matthew mcconaughey is leading texas governor greg abbott in a new poll by how much? >> the poll shows 45% of the 1100 registered voters would back mcconaughey for governor of texas, 45% compared to 33% for incumbent greg abbott, the survey by the dallas news and university of texas shows they perform much better with democrat voters, 66% of democrats say they would support him versus 30% among republicans, 40% of independents say they would vote for mcconnaughhay.

11:32 am
stuart: you're a republican in you will feel the republican candidate for the governor torreon election in california, if indeed newsom is recalled, you cannot tell us, that a republican would have the power to make the schools reopen in the fall but they don't have the power either do they. >> we are going to have to see the lawsuits are continuing to come through they lost at the supreme court a number of times recently with regard to these things and some of the candidates are outright saying they will act like reagan remember with air traffic controllers something has to give but newsom has already signaled if you go into negotiation and say is likely not going to happen, we need someone else that would take the case to the california people as to why this is important, clearly newsom is not it. stuart: would you and the republican party in california supported candidate who says if
11:33 am
you teachers are not back in the classroom, you will be fired, that is what reagan did 40 odd years ago, you want a republican to say the same thing. >> currently one of the republican candidates has said they would suspend collective bargaining rights if that was the case. i do think this is headed for the courts but no question the republican candidates need to take a harder line and i expect one of them to come out and say it is time that they be fired, whether that would work or not will have to see, but the game has to be change, the negotiation has to be changed. >> california democrats at least some are pushing for new law that would reveal the names of the people who signed the recall petition, that is what they're pushing for, what is your reaction to that. >> they clearly want to chill this process and what they want to do is give those names to newsom, somewhat to retroactive
11:34 am
go forward but they want to stop the recall process, the whole point was to put a check on runaway one-party government so this is really important we think it's unconstitutional and we had rescue california.org are bracing for that and we will go to court over it. stuart: do you think governor newsom will be recalled and will be replaced by a republican. please don't tell me that's what we ought to do, i want to hear were going to do that, by the way if you have more than two or three republican candidates in the forthcoming election i think you have a problem. >> that could be but nancy pelosi has shamed any democrat and warned them not to get in the race there is a pool of 58% don't want him running again next year, that is the third of the democrats want him to move on is more likely than not that he gets recalled and the republicans if they are wise will choose one candidate over
11:35 am
the other and will have to see how that goes because republican egos don't necessarily fall in line like the democrat unions forced democrat candidates to fall in line. stuart: your state is in deep deep trouble, tom del beccaro, thank you for joining us, see you again soon. the former governor of california arnold schwarzenegger has a message for nasa, what is that all about. ashley: no it's not, i'll be back but another of his famous movie lines, remember this. >> when i heard about the helicopter ride i was so excited, get to the chopper. ashley: he's in a good mood, get to the chopper, you played it from the movie in celebration of the helicopter flight that nasa is conducting on mars he

repeated how fantastic it is to have the first helicopter take after mars and say he can't wait to see what the footage looks like, we do not see any images from those predators. stuart: what are we looking at now that looks like helicopter video that you don't see very much that is obviously the helicopter. ashley: if that is the helicopter were not seeing what images it's actually from the rover itself, it is very short flight but these flights will start to become longer in duration but making huge history to have a helicopter launched from that space rover for the first time ever on mars, it is massive accomplishment. stuart: technical brilliance. ashley: incredible. stuart: spacex they want a nasa contract to land astronauts on the moon, spacex is going to work on developing the first

of $87 billion, that is greater than ford mgm but the company has repeatedly pushed the car production target in the latest 5 million cars a year by the year 2035, but there are plenty of skeptics saying this company is late to the game and it lacks industry knowledge and competing with more than 400 electric vehicle makers in china in more than 400 companies make electric vehicles in china, that is mind-boggling. >> there will be a shakeout at some point, well they're not. a national average for the gallon of gas $2.87. i want to go to jeff flock joining us from indiana are we gonna see $3 gasoline prices this summer. >> yes, you may even see $4 gasoline prices this summer,
