9:01 am
bubble 2006-2007, extraordinary event. we have a new record high for the value of all-american stocks was wall street is a wealth creation machine. the total value of publicly traded american companies has reached 45,109,950,000,000 dollars. the market rally added $4.9 trillion worth of value just this year. with such an explosive rally a lot of people are on edge waiting for the selloff. it is not coming at "the opening bell". the dow is going to be a mighty, fractional gains for the s&p, modest loss for the nasdaq, cryptos moving up again, bitcoin ready thousand dollars, kathy would will establish a bitcoin etf. in an hour president biden takes off for wisconsin to shore up support for his

bipartisan trillion dollar infrastructure plan. he messed up the rollout, now he wants to build up his image as a unifier, someone who can bring both sides together. the left having none of it. they want to $4 trillion plan for free healthcare, free education in the green new deal. police departments defunded, crime soaring, democrats deny responsibility, they are suffering in the holes so they have a new spin and it is the gop defunded the police. as one commentator put it that flies in the face of all known facts. the weather is making news. temperature went to 122 degrees in phoenix, 115 in portland, oregon. hot and dry in the west, hot and humid in the northeast, 97 in new york city later today. it is tuesday june 20 ninth 2021.

9:03 am
♪♪ working 9 to 5 ♪♪ what a way to make a living ♪♪ getting by ♪♪ stuart: in new york city, you break out a sweat in no time. breaking news, home prices surged 14.9%, the biggest gain since december of 2005. i was trying to get a handle on the prices, the median 350,000? >> think about the size of the down payment, 20%, what is happening now the reality, the median price, too rich for my blood.
9:04 am
down payment is soaring, we will see the summer a bit of a showing, the housing markets overheating, will cool off a little bit. stuart: you often do a survey of the real estate industry. are you telling us the rapid ride in home prices are slowing down? have you seen signs the surge is slowing? >> overinflated asking prices getting revised down slightly on the higher end homes, home affordability is a big issue, if something is priced right below the median 350 it is probably going to move but above 350 they are seeing pressure. instead of doing my own survey,
9:05 am
they measured demand, and find for the first time a slowing of demand, demand dropped one% over the levels from 2020. the foot traffic in homes is slowing down which is a good sign because no one wants a bubble. stuart: you don't expect a crash in the home prices or sharp decline, you're not expecting that either. >> i don't see that happening but you can't -- case shiller was 20%, national association of realtors 24%, you can't sustain that because you will price too much out of the market so coming to low double digits, even single digits is where the market is long-term. stuart: the realtors would be happy if more homes were for sale. good stuff, thank you for
9:06 am
opening the show for us. let's go to big tech, facebook, $355 a share down a tiny fraction. that was the stand out closing with a market value above $1 trillion, got a big win. they've got a big win in court. >> a shocking ruling because it was early on in the case, it essentially kills the 40 plus state ag's case of aged -- antitrust against facebook, even surprised facebook themselves. stuart: didn't the judge give the government 30 days. >> a better case. >> the bar has been set really high because you read the ruling from the district judge? they've not laid out the case
9:07 am
that facebook is a monopoly when it comes to social media. it was colorful language because the state ag case is dead. they were saying we need to break up facebook because of their 2012 acquisition of instagram, the colorful language is why did it take 7 or 8 years to bring this case? that was when kevin durand played for the oklahoma thunder but if you look at where stocks are trading you have from where i see, $6.5 trillion worth, facebook, apple, amazon.
9:08 am
stuart: i am not surprised. look at the futures, a gain of close to 100 points for the dow, the nasdaq down 19 points. earlier on the show we showed you the new record free the value of all stocks, $45 trillion. our next guest thinks it goes higher, that man is michael lee and he's looking for a summer melt up. what do you mean by a summer melt up? we had a fantastic rally. >> nothing in the way of the market right now. some news events could happen a week or month from now or 3 months from now but until then we have a continuing theme where the bond market has stabilized and shrugged off the inflation fears which were holding back stocks last year. we've seen volatility fall off a cliff, rolling volatility, we into the new regime meaning the stage is set for another leg higher. as i say this all the bank stocks past their stress test and rallying on the backs of
9:09 am
increased dividends and buybacks. anytime you see them moving in the financials that the precursor for another leg higher in the overall market. we will see great economic data below expectations and at a slower rate meaning the possibility of overheating is going out the window. stuart: the baseline is profits and i think you are looking for a record rise in profits in the next quarter. and i write? >> absolutely. since this time last year as profits for companies are blown away analyst estimates, wall street analysts are always always always too. and take their estimates down. they have been steadily going up and since march 30 first analysts estimates are up from 53% to 63%.
9:10 am
since april 1st estimates for the third quarter gone from 19% growth to 24% growth. for the fourth quarter a similar story, those numbers are too low. big companies have taken away massive market share, really thrived during the pandemic and profits for the largest companies that drive the indices will begin to busters for the next 5 quarters. stuart: up 60%, earnings reports and a week, looking for 60% gains across the board. >> i am looking for 65% to 70% year over year. stuart: i've got to go, 65% to 70% for the s&p 500 up in profits. we will see you soon. let's get back to the cryptos because you always have a couple cryptos, >> look at that range. that is right.
9:11 am
>> i wonder if stuart varney will invest in that was the s&p has not approved any etf just yet, we will make it 9, the proposed arc be funds would be launched in conjunction with 21 shares, bitcoin bull, 82,000 shares of coin base takes her coin base holdings $2820 million. stuart: i admire her, she comes right out with it, says what she's going to do and why she is going to do it. >> a lot of these proxy plays, and last week, one% corporate cash by crypto currency up to at least 40,$000 but she made a comeback, people said she was underperforming but she attracted $500 million in june.
9:12 am
stuart: she is the bitcoin lady. >> i would say she's the innovation lady, future technology. check futures, green for the dow, tiny bit for the s&p. a lot of people are outraged over this incident but not the white house, they are not outraged about this, the white house is defending the olympic athlete who turned her back on the flag during the national anthem. >> there are moments we haven't lived up to our highest ideals and respecting the right of people to peacefully protest. stuart: brian kilmeade has something to say about that. also happening in the immediate future president biden is heading to wisconsin to round up support for his $1 trillion infrastructure plan. i think the left is mad as hell about this and there will be hell to pay.

9:19 am
officials say it is a precautionary measure because of the delta variant. cases in missouri rising, 800 covid hospitalizations reported daily for the past four days, mike parsons joins us now. what is the problem here, not vaccinating enough people? >> we have been was like most states in the country when you get to that 55% plateau it has become more difficult to get that vaccine out there. everybody has to the threat to get the opportunity to get the vaccine and the other thing is 80% of our most vulnerable population has had the vaccine, seniors and people with health risks have. stuart: i you going back to any restrictions like mask wearing or social distancing or restaurants with limited capacity? any return to instructions? >> we never had mask restrictions in the state, never shut businesses down in the state and that has proven
9:20 am
to be successful throughout the covid 19 situation. the thing you are seeing is the age group 18 to 29 are the high numbers we are seeing of that and we've got to encourage them to understand how important the vaccine is and give them the opportunity to take that so it doesn't spread but each day we get briefed on this the main thing we are looking at his with real hospital numbers what the fatality rate is, stay to the same pillars we had before trying to analyze this. we are all concerned about that. stuart: your state was one of the first to end the extra unemployment benefits. of you see more people coming back to work? >> we were one of the first state in the nation to cut off federal unemployment, we announce two weeks ahead of time and we've seen a spike in real people going out to get real jobs and it has worked well in this state.
9:21 am
even the restaurant industry and places like that things are getting better. the workforce peace, for three years we had that in place, high schools and community colleges, there is a whole new workforce coming in our state and that is important to realize there are people coming down the pipeline to take these jobs. if you want those jobs people are starting to realize you've got to get back out in the workforce or somebody else will have the job you once had and we are seeing that. stuart: thanks for being with us, always appreciate that. we are talking a lot about bringing workers back to the office and here's this from google, bringing workers back to their silicon valley campus, a glittering palace but how many of the workers are coming back to the campus? >> we have different cafeteria

9:28 am
phenomenal fueling the v-shaped recovery in the stock market. stuart: i was told stock prices reflect underlying corporate profits. are you looking for the next leg up for the stock market rally? >> the second quarter is discounted. if analysts are going to be wrong they will be too conservative because they are cautious coming out of recession. it could be 70% but it is already in the market. we have to consider we are seeing peak earnings growth and it will slow down. doesn't mean it goes down the increases at a slower pace. we continue to move to record high territory. stuart: are there any other investments you would look at right now as an alternative to
9:29 am
stocks? >> there is no alternative. right now that seems to be relevant, hard to get excited about bond yields, the risk that inflation turns out long-lasting, more temporary than the fed has been saying. stuart: how about crypto or two? >> i'm an old-fashioned kind of guy, earnings, dividends and income i can discounts, can't do that with crypto, digital tulips on a global basis, you can't get me there. stuart: you have no idea how

9:43 am
education, free healthcare, the green new deal, the president's jobs to cobble together enough republicans and moderate democrats to pass the compromise $1 trillion plan. he campaign is a unifier who could bring both sides together. we will find out if the left will let him do it. look who's here on this, larry kudlow, i think the president is scrambling to cobble together this compromise, moderate democrats and some republicans. i don't think the left will let him do it. do you think he can get a deal for it? >> when you describe the second part do not forget that there's at least $3 trillion of higher taxes, on large and small companies, individuals on global minimum tax, domestic minimum tax, the capital gains tax and the inheritance tax. nobody wants to put that in but it is a key part of this, tax the rich and go after tax
9:44 am
cheats with $80 billion more for the irs so we have a lot was leonard hunt against conservative individuals. that would be devastating to the economy. so we understand the stakes. stuart: i want to understand this, the president is trying to cobble together a compromise agreement on the $1 trillion plan. does that $1 trillion plan include all the tax increases you are talking about? >> know because the president didn't do the cobbling. it was the bipartisan group of 5 republicans and 5 democrats and the president last thursday said great, look what we've done and an hour later completely backed away from it and continues despite the blue smoke and mirrors they are
9:45 am
trying to spin on this, and mister schumer and ms. pelosi, saying we will do the infrastructure which is only 1 trillion and could be cut back by 300 or $400 billion, that does not add income tax, then they want that to be linked to the so-called family entitlement stuff in the wall street journal, tens of trillions, 3, $4 trillion worth, the green new deal, the entitlements and tax hikes. he's walking away from it, on the sunday talk shows nothing, at one point cedric richmond, top white house aide was asked directly by jake tapper yes or
9:46 am
no, on the infrastructure bill alone, he said it is not a yes or no question. of course it is a yes or no question. he doesn't want to answer it because the answer is no. if the president wants to cobble a massive welfare state with high taxes that will throw a wet blanket over the economy at least the bipartisan people have more modest goals and refused to raise income taxes. stuart: i am hearing there may be some juggling with salt, they may raise the salt above 10,$000 but there would still be a salt. have you heard about this? >> i always hear about it. bernie sanders might have an income test which josh scottheimer doesn't want. the way you beat salt is to lower these massive outside tax
9:47 am
rates, new york, new jersey and connecticut. stuart: it is not going to happen. you know it is not. i say to you your great friend the governor of new jersey, governor murphy, is going to raise taxes. i know you like the guy, he will raise taxes, taxing the rich. >> i agree with is that wholeheartedly. i told you weeks ago that there wasn't enough of votes to put that salt deduction back on the table. just cussed tax rates. stuart: let me explain the way to beat salt. you are not going to get the states to lower taxes. it will never happen, never ever. it is not going to happen. the way to beat salt is to lead, head to florida, go to texas, go someplace else, that is the way you beat it, the only way you beat it.
9:48 am
sorry, we are out of time. my little emotional outburst filled out the entire segment. >> that is what has been happening was i will give credit to a democrat, ned lamont, doctor connecticut still refused to raise taxes. that is some progress. or the gop retakes congress and slashes marginal tax rates across the board. that is what we wanted in 2017. stuart: sorry i'm out of time. thank you very much. we are going to watch you this afternoon. tomorrow the great america, the great special, america the great at 4:00 pm tomorrow with the man himself, larry kudlow. check those markets, seeing a gain for the dow 100 points and the nasdaq turned positive at 20 points, the 10 year treasury yield around 150, 149 this morning the price of gold, $17.57, doubt 23 points with oil $73.50, the price of gas

the best number we've seen since february of 2020. stuart: good lord. lauren: how you feel about the economy dictates your spending, your hiring plans, what have you. this is good for overall growth. stuart: that is a massive increase in confidence levels. 127. lauren, thank you very much indeed. now this. the democrats have a problem with defunding the police t has backfired. crime is surging. and the democrats are getting the claim. so what do they do? they blame the republicans. it started sunday when a senior biden advisor, cedric richmond came right out with it. the gop defunded the police. one commentator called that a stunning reversal of all known facts. monday, jen psaki picked up on the theme. it is the republicans fault. on the same day, however, the police chief in oakland, california, vigorously attacked the democrat-run city council there because they had defunded his department and murder rate has soared. in new york, the democrat mayor
10:03 am
along with the democrat city council took hundreds of millions of dollars out of the police budget and yes crime is soaring. i'm trying to think after single republican-run city or state that defunded the cops? chicago? los angeles? , baltimore? , countless others all democrat run. all part of the anti-police movement. candidate biden himself called for defunding. yet jen psaki says republicans voted against the american rescue plan. therefore, they voted to defund the police. that is absolutely nonsense. here we are. trying to get workers to return to work in cities that are just not safe and they're not safe because the democrats jumped on the anti-police bandwagon to gain votes. they did this. they are responsible for this. but they don't have the courage to admit it. the second hour of "varney & company" is about to begin.
10:04 am
♪ jason chaffetz is with me now. we'll discuss defunding the police. my question, areas sown, can democrats avoid taking the blame for the defund the police movement? >> i think america gets it. i also think the democrats, the ones i know they poll everything. this has to be a top 10 have aniability for them going into 2022. to change the narrative and create a fiction somehow republicans fault. are you kidding me? last summer all we watched, defund the police, black lives matter, part of the core mission they're trying to do. just last year, stuart, kamala harris was out there trying to raise money to bail people out of jail as fast as possible, get them back out into the streets to participate in these protests and these riots. and look what has happened in big places like new york city and los angeles. new york city, they had 500
10:05 am
people that were under cover police officers that were dismantled, taken away. they took police out of the schools in many cases. democrats are just trying to pull one over on the people. i think america realizes what they are trying to do. stuart: a moment ago in my editorial there, i can't think after single republican-run city or state that has defunded the police or jumped on to anti-police band wag gone. am i mistaken? is that correct? >> i can't. you look at all the major cities and all the major metrics. the crime just continuing to increase. stuart: so where do we go from here? >> i think republicans know and understand that this is a huge vulnerability. they will continue to pound on this. and explain to the american people what is really going on. it is one of the clearest differences between republicans and democrats. democrats have wanted to limit
10:06 am
the ability suspicionless americans to get and access guns to protect themselves. at the same time democrats are saying put all the new gun restrictions on law-abiding americans, and, oh, by the way, we're going to reduce and get rid of the police. you even had aoc, literally days ago, say if you want less people incarcerated don't build some prisons. what kind of logic is that? stuart: reminds me what is going on at the border. we have an open border. there is a flood of illegals coming across, democrats say it is trump's fault. i don't think that flies with the american people. they can tell what is going on here. >> the american people want to be safe and secure. democrats are not protecting the border. they're not protecting these big cities. and they are against law and order. it is just not palatable. it is not a winning formula going into 2022. stuart: jason chaffetz, thanks very much for being with us
10:07 am
today. always appreciate it, my friend. see you later. >> thank you. stuart: check those markets please. i will call that a rally. we're looking at united airlines. can we look at the big picture please. the dow is up about 140 points. 34,400. you got that. the nasdaq actually hit an all-time high earlier 14,500. just returned to the level. a very small gain for the s&p 500. but it did hit a new all-time high earlier this morning. 4297. luke lloyd with me this morning. i don't want to talk about the markets. i warrant to talk about the quit rate. i know you're big on this. the quit rate, people leaving jobs they have already got. i think almost at an all-time high. certainly the highest rated i have ever seen. >> it. >> stuart: what do you think is behind it? what do you think are the consequences? >> who can steal the best employees right now. with many states stopping extended unemployment benefits the next few months, i'm less worried about that, that more
10:08 am
people have jobs are quitting jobs at the highest rate you have ever seen. job openings at an all-time high. those who are currently employed can leave the current job, make more money or have better benefits somewhere else. one of those benefits are working from home. companies forcing people go back to the office are seeing the most people quit. this is an issue. high turn over, you have to retrain and find good workers. stu, good workers are hard to come by now. sadly this mentality will impact small businesses the most. retraining, hiring new employees is expensive. small businesses cannot afford to lose good workers. this is a problem not being talking about. stuart: i would argue with that, overall what you're looking at is a repositioning of talent. people going to the jobs they like, you're smiling, over the long term, it is not a bad idea to reposition people, get them into positions which they truly like and enjoy, which are going
10:09 am
places. i think that what this quit rate is all about. i understand there can be negatives in terms of retraining and costs. but i like to see people do what they really want to do. we have an opportunity to do that right now. last word to you. >> if those jobs exist. the problem has there been a structural shift in employment where jobs are located? i say yes. there has been a shift. a lot of small businesses have been hurting there is a lot of jobs that small businesses just are not rehiring for and a lot of small businesses shut down shops forever. as long as the jobs exist yes, it is a good thing. i would argue a lot of those jobs are gone forever. we'll see data next five or 10 years. i do think this is an issue that will last over the next five or 10 years. stuart: got it. we'll agree to differ. how about that? luke, we'll see you soon. >> thank you. stuart: market is rallying. dow is up 134 points. that is why we've got united airlines on the screen. not exactly moving a great deal.
10:10 am
it is in the news. what are they doing? lauren: huge bet on the future. so much good news on the future of air travel. united placed the largest jet order ever. 230 boeing 737 max jets. 270 planes in all. that helps the dow. why aren't the stocks doing more? i think there is a pause on the recovery trade because of the delta variant. i want to show you banks. stuart: that is very important about the delta variant. as we reported yesterday, some countries even though they're fully vaccinated, very vaccinated they're bringing back mask requirements and restrictions. which means travel restrictions in the future affecting airlines. lauren: some counties, los angeles here in the u.s. we have to talk about the banks. we got results of the stress tests. this is leading the market today. morgan stanley doubled the dividend. goldman sachs raised theirs by 60%. look at those stocks.
10:11 am
morgan stanley up 3 1/2%. citigroup left dividend unchanged. that is financials. that is lower today. stuart: they can all churn out dividend money. they can use that money, if they wish to repurchase their own stocks. lauren: dividends, buybacks, like 2019. they get the green light all over again. tesla is down. ubs cut the price target to the 660 from 730. they're worried about competition, and worried about china. tesla is down 2%. that is an interesting story. we were talking about the variants. guess what? moderna, the stock hitting a new high up about 5%. the high was 235. they said their covid vaccine data shows it does offer protection against the variants, including the delta one everybody is nervous about. stuart: good news indeed. moderna up at 233. got that one. i want to get back to the case-shiller home price surge, bolt of your screen, up 14.9%.
10:12 am
i never seen anything like that before. lauren: this is the biggest annual gain since december of 2005, up almost 15%. this is good news everywhere. this is a look at 20 major cities. some cities like phoenix a 20% plus surge. the reports authors say home prices are expensive. everybody wants to move to the suburbs. they don't think it's a pandemic switch. this is probably a permanent switch in where americans live, how they want to live. stuart: it went to 122 degrees in. that is hot. crews are working around the clock searching for any survivors in the florida condo collapse. ashley webster is there he will give us a report shortly. record-setting heat wave moving to the northwest. making its way to east coast. we'll tell you how high temperatures could reach in your area.

michigan governor gretchen whitmer is saying climate change is to blame for record flooding there. this. >> this is a moment around need to help each other do everything we can to address climate change. stuart: michigan representative fred upton sounding off on that. he is next. ♪

10:17 am
stuart: president biden took two brief questions before boarding marine one on his trip to wisconsin. number one, he said he could visit florida as early as thursday. number two, he also said the
10:18 am
first lady, jill, will travel to the tokyo olympics. okay. that is not much. those were two questions. not like the old days, is it? now this. >> this is a moment and a need for to us help one another but also to do the hard work of protecting ourselves going forward and that is doing everything we can to address climate change and building a resilient infrastructure that will keep us safe, to keep our economy going. stuart: you seed intoing in flooding back there, governor whitmer says climate change is to blame for the floods. representative fred upton from michigan. welcome back. good to see you again. do you think climate change is to blame? >> it is more than climate change. climate change is real. let's face it. like so many states our state had a backlog of projects that needed to get fixed for a long time. we had a huge rainstorm this last weekend. a couple of tornadoes that
10:19 am
touched down but our infrastructure is woeful. we need help. we need help not only in michigan and around the country. that's why i'm hoping the bipartisan alternative the problem-solvers caucus in the house but the bipartisan accord looks like reached in the senate can move forward to help with the water projects and bridges and energy system is resill gent to protect us not only against cyber but also weather. stuart: not many republicans come out to say climate change is real, we know you said it, do you think the high temperatures in the west, 122 degrees in phoenix, 115 in portland is evidence of climate change? >> i think it is. i think most republicans agree, the climate is changing. it is summertime you about these are, you know, temperatures that
10:20 am
are what, 20, 30 degrees higher than normal for some of these areas? particularly in the northwest. i talked to one of my colleagues from the northwest last night. out in washington state and oregon state, they don't have a lot of homes that maybe have air-conditioning, something maybe a lot of us in michigan didn't have number of years ago too. that is changed. stuart: do you back any part of the green new deal? what -- about climate change, any measures at all you would approve of to mitigate climate change? >> we can take, use the technology we developed. i support all of the above strategy. i know we can do more on renewables. we're seeing that happen. we have to make sure that our grid can take that as well. that it is, that we can build them. that we can do permitting. real conversion i think, to natural gas from coal. that is happening. in michigan we had a major utility this last week announced they would close all the coal
10:21 am
plants the next five or six years. those are steps we can take that do reduce emissions and move us tort e towards brighter future. stuart: michigan was one much first states to end the extra unyou employment benefits. do you see people going back to work. >> we have not actually ended it. the statehouse, state senate, passed legislation to end the 300-dollar bonus. the governor has not indicated she will sign the bill or veto it. a lot of folks anticipate she will veto the bill. i got to tell you the situation across the state, whether you're a small business, a larger company, there is a real need for employees out there. one of the reasons many of us believe the search for employees is real because that bonus is an incentive for people to stay at home and not go back to work. when these unemployment numbers come out, i think later this week, i think you will see a
10:22 am
surge in employment but probably in those states that actually reduced the benefits or eliminated that 300-dollar bonus. that is not the case at this point in michigan. at least the president did acknowledge a couple weeks ago he would be content letting that bonus expire as it does labor day, a little bit later this summer. stuart: got it. congressman fred upton, thanks very much for joining us this morning. appreciate it. see you again soon. now this, the death toll has reached 11 in the south florida condo collapse. 150 still missing. ashley webster is on the scene. we're now learning, can you tell me more about this concrete damage in the building's garage. do you know anything more about that? ashley: it is interesting, stu. but more information has come to light. there were problems with the building and they were flagged in a number of reports. go back to 2018 when a significant engineering report was conducted on the building
10:23 am
and in part came to this conclusion, listen to this. visual observations reveal many of the previous garage concrete repairs are failing, resulting in additional concrete cracking. new cracks are raiding from the originally repaired cracks which is they conclude poor workmanship performed by the previous contractor. that was three years ago. just this april, two months ago, stu, the presidents of the homeowners association at the building that collapsed said, listen, we looked at that report. the building is in desperate disrepair. it is worse than it was back in 2018. she told the residents the cost of fixing those problems were excess of $16 million. then of course two months later, the building collapses. now the city of miami and miami-dade county are starting an audit of any building five
10:24 am
stories or higher and 40 plus years old. they want all of that done within 30 to 45 days. well we spoke to a home inspector who says that time frame is just not workable. take a listen. >> i would say it is impossible. i would say most inspectors would just, don't want to do it because you're putting yourself up for failure at the end of the day. the outcome is to do a good job, not to, not how many buildings can you do. it is to do a good job. ashley: well, stu, behind me, we have the ambassador to the united states from venezuela, a big south american presence as you know in south florida. he is talking to the media here. we're expect another press conference at 11:30. there is word perhaps president biden could come down to visit the site as early as tomorrow. we'll stay here all day, keeping up to date on the latest
10:25 am

ton a little later on today. then there is this. guy fieri, know him well, blasting politicians, said they overlooked restaurants during the pandemic. give me that story, lauren. lauren: guy fieri said he knows why restaurants didn't get more aid faster. >> i'm missed. because there is not enough unification. airlines have big powerful money, attorneys, lobbyists. and we've got home-built restaurant companies that were passed down from a restaurants, passed down from generations with not as much energy and power and unification. lauren: restaurants might not have the lobbying power but they have the size. they employ 13 million people versus 600,000 for the airlines. he also slammed government regulations for holding back growth. for years restaurants wanted cocktails to go. all of sudden they were able to do that when they had to during the pandemic. also he slams the unemployment
10:31 am
benefits being extended. if you give someone the option to get something like that of course they're going to sit home. he slammed the government response to how they handled the restaurant and bar industry. stuart: i think his response is very well reasoned. lauren: he is angry, he was angry and made very good points there i want to check at the checkers and rally's franchises, 900 locations around the country. they're introducing new technology into their kitchens. we'll talk about that. ceo, francis allen joins me now. francis, i want to know, are you introducing all the new technology, i know you will tell us about it, all the new technology into your kitchens. why are you doing it? is it because of a labor shortage and to beat higher wages? >> it is really to make our operation more efficient and more pleasurable for the employees. stuart: have you got a labor shortage?
10:32 am
is there a labor shortage? is there a labor shortage? >> absolutely. we have got over 500 open positions and working really hard to fill those but we're also incredibly lucky and grateful that thousands of employees who have stayed with us, shown up throughout this. we spent a lot of money actually showing them our appreciation, doing everything we can to alleviate the pressure on them, on the general managers and on the district managers. one of the things that we were doing really ahead of this crisis is as you reference, upgrading the kitchen. so a couple of initiatives actually to upgrade the efficiency of our restaurants. one is the kitchen and one is dedicated e-commerce lanes. if i can i will talk about the kitchen first. it really is a way of creating more efficiency. we did a -- stuart: i'm sorry. i do apologize for interrupting you, francis. i really do apologize, but tell
10:33 am
me clearly, so everybody can understand, what changes are you making to your kitchens that make it much more efficient? exactly what are you doing? >> first of all the layout. so our employees did a time and motion study, we found our employees were walking collective mile 1/2 every hour, unnecessary mile 1/2 every hour. imagine the wear and tear, wasting, labor product inefficiency. so that is the first thing. second was introducing things, machines that are much easier to operate. you shift from a flat top grill to a clamshell grill that actually knows exactly when to lift the lid, because the product is well cooked. imagine the ease of being able to learn that machinery off the bat. as we bring in new employees what we're hearing is, it is much easier for them to actually
10:34 am
learn how to do their job. i'm a big believer no one comes to work wanting to do a bad job. everyone wants to do a good job. it is our responsibility to make it easy for them to learn quickly and give them the right training and help them do it. stuart: i can understand that. francis, before we close, do i detect a slight accent? >> absolutely, stu. yes, british born and bred although very proud to be in this country for just under 20 years and a proud citizen. i know we share that in common. stuart: yes we do. i've been here for 48 years. how about that? i still haven't lost my accent by the way. francis, that was terrific. thanks for joining us today. i'm sorry i interrupted you. but that was great stuff and we appreciate it. >> no worries. stuart: airport restaurants and the tsa, find them all in the
10:35 am
airports, they're offering bonuses to get people to come back. how much? lauren: $1000. stuart: really? lauren: the tsa needs to get 2,000 more tsa screeners by end of summer, in airports like houston, newark, the restaurant managers there, they're getting a 3,000-dollar signing bonus in some instances. isn't it crazy? great for workers. honestly everybody should make more money. however if you're a customer, no business who is slightly struggling right now, right, coming off the anirvan banerji paying higher wages and bonuses will eat it. they will pass it on to us, speaking of the airport. longer wait times, if you're grabbing a burger, a coke before getting on the flight, see how long it might take. stuart: a good time to be a worker. lauren: it absolutely is. stuart: come back to work, you can work it out, get more money, get better benefits. what is it about royal caribbean, they have a new policy for unvaccinated passengers. lauren: correct.
10:36 am
unvaccinated passengers must buy travel insurance to cover medical expenses quarantining and evacuation should they test positive while on board one of royal caribbean ships that sails from florida, in august. why florida? , florida sued the cdc saying they cannot mandate passengers, vaccinated f you're unvaccinated going into a cruise ship population, you need to be vaccinated. stuart: got it. white house is blaming republicans for defunding the police. >> the president did mention the american rescue plan could help insure local cops were kept on the beat in communities across the country. as you know didn't receive a single republican vote. stuart: that is the talking point. the gop is responsible for defunding the police, talking point. have kaleigh mcenany to respond to that shortly. that record-setting heat wave forcing closures across the west. it is heading england and well

10:42 am
weather woman for if you know the weather? but, listen, i'm making light of a situation that was really dangerous yesterday and has been over the last i would say a week or so across the northwest where we set all time historic temperatures for seattle and portland. yesterday seattle was at 108 and portland at 116. that has never happened before. we will get a little bit of relief, especially along the east coast but interior sections of the northeast are going to remain warm today. but we won't see the record-breaking heat that we saw but the temperatures around this time of year, stuart, are usually in the 70s. a lot of folks don't have air-conditioning. this is the problem. this is the danger with these temperatures. let's take a look at it a little bit of relief. we're not talking about 60s, 70s, talking about 80s, 90s for some of these regions. portland, seattle are feeling temperatures you normallably see across the southwest.

portland was warmer than phoenix, arizona, over the last couple days. so we have heat advisories extend across the northwest, interior sections of northern plains. parts of california as well. we had an incredible drought. already wildfire season across the west. that will be a big danger as we go through the summertime. across the northeast as stuart mentioned. it is hot and hazy. dog days of summer already near the end of june. it will feel like over 100 from big cities like philadelphia and d.c.,nyc and boston today and tomorrow. we have heat advisories in effect. you are encouraged to seek cooling shelters if you don't have air-conditioning and check on neighbors and elderly. bring in the pets as well. we check on flooding across the central u.s. with flash flood concerns from texas up to the great lakes. keep cool, my friend. stay near a pool. stuart: janice, i'm going

10:45 am
you can't give it to somebody else. five million people vaccinated fully, what is going on? lauren: they're scared. they're scared of the new variant. moderna says their vaccine is showing protection against that variant and others as well. stuart: they love to tell you what to do, keep you under control under their thumb. there is more for you. ted cruz says the cdc should follow the science unlike folks in california. lauren: he is urging the federal government to lift mask mandates on planes and trains before our freedom weekend which is july 4th. here is what he tweeted. it is long past time for biden and the cdc to follow the science and end the mask mandate for fully vaccinated. the agency already stated you don't need to test or quarantine if you're teraphing in the u.s. but you to have to wear a mask and do so until september 13th. senator cruz and other gop senators say why.
10:46 am
that doesn't make any sense. you're almost contradicting yourself f you lift the mask mandate on planes, trains, other mass transit, you incentivize people to travel. they will feel better, and maybe unvaccinated to get vaccinated f you're the only one with a mask on, it might send a message, you're the one who hasn't rolled up your sleeve. stuart: you're that guy. lauren: you're that guy. you're the one. stuart: the white house is defending olympic athlete gwen berry. she turned her back on the flag. watch this. >> talk about pride in our country means recognizing there are moments we as a country haven't lived up to the highest ideals. stuart: i would have thought the olympics are proudly representing your country but that is me. did you see this, one of the world's best soccer players, one of the world's best teams, the last penalty kick of the game. sensational. watch this. >> in the tournament.
