9:01 am
safety basically. look at that, 2.83% on the 10 year treasury right now. lots of action in the markets today and then we have the president demanding that gas station owners lower prices and do it now. amazon's jeff bezos don't think much to that. he says the president's call is straight ahead missdirection or a deep misunderstanding of basic market dynamics. it's like the president is wav ing a magic wand. do this because i say so. it's not going to work. gas averages $4.80 this morning that's regular around the country, diesel 5.72. both gas and diesel are within just a few cents of their all-time highs. treasury secretary yellen held top level virtual meetings with china's officials over the weekend. the administrations floating the idea of lifting tariffs on china, which were imposed by president trump. we are coming at a very very difficult devastating holiday for air travelers, 17,000 flight s delayed over the weekend in america.
9:02 am
1,400 cancellations. today, so far, i've got 700 delays, 120 cancellations. that is today. a suspect in custody in the julm o is in his early 20s and posted disturbing videos including references to lee harvey oswald, the man who shot president kennedy. did no one see this coming? it is july 5, 2022. "varney" & company is about to begin. i'm on top of the world, i'm on top of the world ♪ stuart: well look at that. that's sixth avenue, new york. you know, charles that's getting busy. lauren, that's busy for a tuesday, coming off a three-day weekend. >> maybe the three bicycle lanes though. stuart: cramming them all in. >> exactly. stuart: i think you're right. really do. look we're coming off the july 4
9:03 am
holiday weekend the price of gas now 4.80 nationwide that's regular. lauren good morning to you. lauren: good morning. stuart: let's get into this. president biden calls out the gas station owners. he says you gotta lower prices. then bezos went after the president. lauren: one of the world's richest men. amazon's founder, owner of the washington post, and he responded biden's order that gas stations cut their prices within he says ouch, inflation is far too important problem for the white house to keep making statements like this. it's either straight ahead miss direction or a deep misunderstanding of basic market dynamics. so he's criticizing the administration for not knowing what they're doing to fix inflation, that they, in part, caused so here is john kirby's response on fox news, sunday. >> it's a pretty serious allegation from a business mogul who happens to the owner of the washington post.
9:04 am
>> anybody that knows president biden knows he's plain-spoken and says exactly what he's thinking and in terms everybody can understand so we obviously take great exception to the idea this is missdirection. president is speaking honestly with the american people about what he's trying to do to bring the prices down. stuart: okay now we're just trying to fix lauren's mic. i believe it's fixed. she sounded a little odd earlier is it fixed? lauren: i sounded odd? stuart: you can't answer me. lauren: bright and early. stuart: basically, mr. kirby there, he confirmed that it was misunderstanding, didn't he? lauren: yeah, and when you think about it, who owns these gas stations? they are mom and pops. they are small business owners they operate on margins that's why so many have the convenience store to buy a cup of coffee and a doughnut or something. stuart: i think we got most of that. thank you very much lauren. we'll bear with you, [laughter] the aforementioned charles payne is with us.
9:05 am
now you had particularly difficult time on sunday with your giant suv. how much did it cost you to fill it up? charles: $183. yeah, 183. i broke the record from a week ago, 177. stuart: did it take premium or something? charles: yeah, yeah, yeah. stuart: what is it a rolls royce charles: it's damn near a rolls royce. it's the t-rex, bought it last year, it's gigantic, 700- horsepower, hellcat engine, it's an absolute beast and eats teslas for lunch. just the fact that listen everybody is suffering. i'll tell you what's interesting and listen i like john kirby a lot. i feel like he is one of the straightest shooters involved with this administration and he grappled with that answer. it's disingenuinous. when president biden do this , it's disingenuinous, all these folks started coming at me, and i said listen, i put up a fact. over 60% of gas stations are
9:06 am
independently owned, individual, mom and pop, on very thin profit margins. i was shocked at how many times i would have had to post that if i cared, like there's a lack of understanding out there, that ironically the administration could fix but they build on that they use it as a smoke screen. the fact that most people, a lot of people, believe this is exxon-mobile, having a record year, not caring about them, and it's just somebody who by the way these same mom and pop operators a couple years ago when the crew was negative barely lived, barely made it so if it wasn't for cigarettes and candy and soda they would the have. stuart: the chinese communist party weighed in and said final ly the president understands capitalism is about exploitation. you've got to worry when the chinese communist party agrees with the economics of joe biden. you gotta worry about that. let's have a look at the market. we're looking towards a 400 point drop for the dow industrials when we open up business this morning. do you think charles you're the market guy here. do you think we're anywhere close to a bottom?
9:07 am
charles: it went to over 40% cash a month ago and kind of wish i stayed there. more cash than normal. i think we're in a bottoming process. you know what the problem is though we're in a unique situation where the fed is deliberately trying to harm the economy as its organically falling apart which means how far do we go before someone, because already they are building in estimates that the fed is going to have to cut rates next year, early next year because everyone now believes they are going to over do it but they have this criteria. last week, five fed speakers including powell said the economy was strong, and people are saying golly, why, i mean, just -- stuart: where did he get that? charles: you just cringe every time they say it and the market goes down every time they say. stuart: here is where we'll leave it. you think we're forming a bottom and we're not necessarily there yet? charles: i bought etsy in my own accountant 10 days ago. stuart: etsy? what are you big on that or something? charles: i think it's the next amazon over the next five or 10
9:08 am
years. stuart: whoa you saved the best until last, he bought etsy. all right, charles we'll leave it there. charles: check with me in five years. stuart: you'll be, oh, by the way you're hosting an inflation town hall in a couple weeks. you can send in your questions for charles to investedinyou@fox .com. charles: it's not just markets, stu, it's retirement plans are being disrailed right now, pensions. i think you'll be okay. stuart: all right gotta get to politics i'm sorry, times pressing in here. former president trump could reportedly announce a 2024 presidential run before the mid-terms. look whose here now, mercedes schlapp is with us, lets get into this. is mr. trump considering a run because ron desantis is pressur ing him in the polls and the january 6 hearings are not looking good for him. >> no, i think both of those assumptions are not accurate. i think that president trump is eager to get into the race. i think he's focused on being
9:09 am
the first one out the gate to send a message very clearly that he is has a very strong base. now with that being said, stuart , you could still see many of these republican candidates wait a little bit but then also continue to plot their potential run for president. i don't think it necessarily keeps people from running, but i do think that president trump still has a very loyal following , and the mere fact is is that he wants to be able to get out there and start making that comparison, saying do you want an america-first president who knew about what it was to have a prosperous economy and opportunity for all americans or are you going to stick with biden and this insane inflation and these economic policies that don't make sense for the american families. stuart: it's going to be an interesting debate that's for sure. by the way vice president harris goes to chicago today. and it's a pre-planned trip, it was planned prior to the deadly shooting in highland park.
9:10 am
what do you expect to hear from the vice president today? >> look, i think she stumbles over her own words constantly, stuart. it's very problem problematic for the vice president. she doesn't have any clear messaging. they are going to hone in as the democrats have been on obviously how do you stop gun violence and for them, stopping gun violence is trying to reduce the number of arms in our country, and impacting the rights of law-abiding citizens, and so i think this becomes, you know, one of their issues that the democrats are going to try to run on as we get into the mid-term election. i also think, i'll be curious because she's addressing the national education association, what she's going to talk about in terms of how they close the gaps for so many of those students who lost, you know, their ability to really catch up in the last few years because of the covid lockdowns and the schools being closed down. stuart: huge problem. >> that's very problematic i think. no great message coming out of
9:11 am
kamala harris. that's for sure. stuart: we shall see , mercedes schlapp, thank you. we'll see you again soon. >> thank you. stuart: speaking of that shooting, six people dead, 30 injured. lauren, a person of interest has been taken into custody what more do we know? lauren: 22-year-old robert crimo iii arrested without incident hours after that attack. where officerses say he opened fire from the roof top of a building along the parade route before he escaped the scene. authorities are looking into his online activity. they found a long trail of tributes to mass shootings, to public killings. he was a rapper, songs, videos, often violence. his uncle spoke out and said look, he kept to himself but his actions are anything but. you have more american families left grieving after daily ritual s going to the food store, going to school, going to church , going to celebrate the 4th of july and they're attacked. stuart: i'm going to leave it right there. very difficult story on july 4. thank you, lauren. check those futures, please.
9:12 am
we're going to open down this tuesday morning, 400 off for the dow, 150 for the nasdaq. and it is a july 4 staple. the nathan's hot dog eating contest, new york city. if you were watching at home you may have missed this moment. roll tape. >> [cheers and applause] stuart: well, if you saw that, that's joey chestnut, the man himself, putting a protester in a chokehold and it didn't even slow him down when it came to eating hot dogs he won again. travel headaches thousands of flights canceled or delayed this holiday weekend. when will we see any real improvement? we'll try to answer that question, right after this. i'm leaving on a jet plane ♪ meet jessica moore.

9:18 am
delayed, between friday and monday, and more than 1,800 flights canceled in that same period all according to flight aware. you know the problems they just keep piling on. even after schedules have been slimmed down, major carriers on average are flying about 15% less this summer than they were originally planning, because of the shortage of 31,000 workers but this weekend of travel is still not over. people traveling today, they are being told to still expect problems. take a listen. >> if you're traveling this weekend, unfortunately, you can not take the schedule your airline has published as gospel. you should take it as a best guestimate of when your flights will leave and arrive. reporter: yeah, it's really interesting situation when that's the case, that you have a scheduled departure but you're told not to expect that to be the bible and it's something we're seeing and also expecting through the summer. there was an issue with american
9:19 am
airlines this weekend july schedules were opened up and pilots dropped off those flights so this weekend was a mess. unfortunately, we're looking forward through summer worrying that might still be the case and passengers are just wondering where the $54 billion in relief, where that all went because for them they just want to get home and it's becoming increasingly difficult to do so. stuart? stuart: got it, madison, thank you very much indeed. see you later. all right, jeff hoffman, travel expert, is with us now. terrible weekend for travel. do you expect, really, any real improvement from here on out? >> well from here on out, stu, it's not going to improve this summer. in the fall, by definition, when all the kids go back-to-school and vacation ends travel goes down significantly anyway, which gives the airlines a breather and a chance to catch up so i don't think we're going to see anything better in the summer, then we've had, you know, additional things. madison mentioned that american airlines, that was their pilot
9:20 am
booking system and it glitched, on 4th of july weekend and pilot s were able to just drop flights which they aren't supposed to be able to do. in fact now american is offering pilots triple pay if they will pick-up flights in july, so it just seems to be one thing after another, and i don't think it'll stop until the fall. stuart: i'm picking up some unhappiness, shall we say, amongst the traveling public. they want to know, what happened to the $54 billion that the airlines received from the government, taxpayer money, to keep them going during the pandemic and get them going after the pandemic. what happened to that money? >> yeah, i mean, without a doubt. obviously, the airlines, they shelved a lot of airplanes so a lot of people are saying you weren't paying the leases on the planes and you let go a third of your workforce where did that money go? i don't know the answer to that question but it's a fair question but i'll tell you it is affecting consumer confidence because if you look at like this weekend, saturday and sunday, tsa reported about
9:21 am
2 million travelers each day, which is higher than it was during the pandemic, but those same days in 2019 were 2.7 million people, so a lot less people flew on july 4 holiday. i think with the prices up and all the other travel nightmares, definitely affecting consumer confidence and travel and our numbers were way below the pre- pandemic levels. stuart: now i've heard that they've cut roughly 15% of the flights. just cut from the schedule. so there's far fewer flights, so why can't it return to more like normal? is it because the demand for those flights is just huge? >> it is. it's a lot of demand and you know, a lot of consumers believe that the airlines are continuing even with those cuts to schedule flights that they can't staff. that's part of the anger with the airlines why are you scheduling flights when you know what your staff is. again i can't answer for the airlines, but yeah, there's high demand for the
9:22 am
limited number of flights and then when you add to that the even the faa air traffic control, having staffing issues and slowing down the number of flights per day, it's just frustrating for travelers everywhere. stuart: it just makes america look so bad. empty shelves, high gas prices, overbooked flights, chaos at the airports just makes us look bad to foreigners. jeff thanks for being here. >> i don't know why charles payne isn't taking some of those passengers in his t-rex he could help out. stuart: it is a big car that's for sure. jeff, we'll see you again soon thanks for being here. now listen to this one this is most unusual. air new zealand offering economy passengers new way to travel. sounds intriguing what do you got? lauren: it's a lie-flat bunk bed in coach and they stack them three high and next to each other there's video of it, and you can rent one of these, buy one of these going from new zealand to jfk starting in 2024.
9:23 am
i don't have a price tag. it's not that you sit in this configuration for your entire flight. you just rent it for a four hour interval and you get rested, you're comfortable, they change the sheets and someone else comes in so it's kind of like recurring revenue for the airlines. stuart: you buy the ticket, get the seat and then if you want to, pay x number of dollars extra for four hours in a bunk bed. lauren: correct. stuart: not a bad idea. believe me when you're going from new zealand to jfk new york , that's approximately 16-17 hours you could use four hours of shut-eye on a bunk bed. i would. lauren check futures this is how we open up on your money this tuesday morning after a long weekend it's going down off 400 for the dow, 150 for the nasdaq, back after this. ♪

stuart: all right futures look rather grim this tuesday morning , dow down 400, nasdaq down 150. we better bring in our market watcher of the morning that will be luke lloyd. all right, luke. let's get straight at it. what is your outlook for stocks for the second half of the year?
9:28 am
>> yeah, so i think we're either in a recession right now or going to be in one in the next 12 months. so look, i think the second half of the year will be just as crazy as the first half and most likely even crazier. i mean, we just started seeing tip of the iceberg melt when it comes to the economy. layoffs have just started with initial claims rising over the past couple months, and consumers seem to finally be slowing down their spending habits so layoffs and slower spending will just get worse over the next six months, so if the middle class was strong, i wouldn't be worrying so much but the fed was just so late to the game, the middle class is already exhausted and we haven't really seen the true pain yet. stuart: there's an article in the wall street journal today, i'm going to read the headline from it. falling commodity prices raise hopes that inflation has peaked. commodity prices are, indeed, coming down so luke, doesn't that help the economy? >> well, it actually doesn't, because i think the commodity prices are actually moderating because recession risk continues
9:29 am
to go higher and higher every single day. it's not because inflation is peaking which is actually, you know, culprit of probably a recession because inflation will come down because people aren't spending money. it's actually because of a recession so look, over the past year, we saw record levels of demand for goods and services and essentially no supply to meet that demand. i think we're entering an environment over the next year where we have a huge supply of inventory in a much-lower demand because people are living paycheck to paycheck with credit card balances on the rise so commodities going into the goods we sell so when secures aren't buying things commodity prices fall. take a look back to 2008 when oil crashed because of a recession something similar here is at play. stuart: okay, so here comes a recession, says luke lloyd and it ain't going to be very pretty you know, reminds me of the 1970 s i'm sorry to say that but it really does. president biden reminds me a lot of jimmy carter that's just me okay? thanks very much for joining us, luke, see you again soon. we're going to get the opening bell in about 28 seconds.
9:30 am
the backdrop is, well futures are pointing sharply dow is down 400 points, nasdaq is down about 150, of course we open the market in 10 seconds so we'll see how that actually shakes out but we also have oil down sharply, off $4 a barrel. [opening bell ringing] stuart: that could be another recession indicator. interest rates down on the 10 year treasury as well, perhaps that's a flight to safety. here we go. we're almost ready to start trading literally in a couple seconds and off we go it is tuesday, july 5, 2022. we've opened with almost all of the dow 30 on the downside and the dow is indeed off over 400 points, that's 1.3%. s&p 500 also on the downside to the tune of 1.3%, the nasdaq composite down 1.4%, have a look at big tech taking it on the chin all over again, look at apple, 137, amazon 107, meta 157 , microsoft is down four bucks at 2.55.
9:31 am
show me tesla, please. they are on the downside today, 2% lower at 666. is this , susan is with me. are they no longer the world's largest seller of electric vehicles? >> yeah, so we have hong kong listed buffett invested byd is the largest maker of ev's but the headline is tesla ending its two year runoff record quarterly delivery so they only delivered 25 5,000 in the spring time that was short of analyst estimates looking for something closer to 270 or so, but also, more importantly, it's less than what they delivered in the first quarter when they had over 300,000-plus cars that exchanged hands, shanghai covid closures, a delay in berlin opening and that meant a drop fromq 1 but here is the good news is that in that report is a tesla so that the production in june has picked back up to record levels they have never made as many cars as they did in the month of june. jpmorgan this morning saying that tesla could fall 40% on
9:32 am
weaker deliveries they had price target and cut it to 385, but okay, so also remember that jpmorgan has been pretty bearish on tesla for a long time, and i would say probably an anomaly since we're looking at the 380 levels. stuart: 338 was very bearish. >> well in the 600s. stuart: that's a disaster. >> most people though still have closer to $1,000 price target for tesla. stuart: oh, they do okay, all right let's have a look at the tech stocks. i believe that some of the analysts out there are becoming less bullish on the big names on your screen right now. >> well, i would say barclays in particular and especially when it comes to social media and this has a tesla tie-in of course with twitter so barclays cutting their price predictions because of a perfect storm they say in the ad revenue space. especially for social media, so tik tok competition is going to takeaway some of that ad spending, global slowdown is taking place and barclays says meta is only worth 280 and only, that's still pretty good upside of 100%
9:33 am
almost. stuart: yeah. >> alphabet is worth 3,000 in their view, pinterest worth 20, so is snap but twitter this morning also making news in that they are challenging an india ruling that forced them to remove some content and of course, with all this decline in the social media stocks, have you looked atwitterrer recently, trading at $30-plus, 54.20 doesn't seem like it's going to happen for elon musk twitter deal who by the way broke his 10 day silence on twitter with a picture of the pope and his four kids on friday evening. it was the longest absence for elon musk in i would say probably six years low pressure. stuart: twitter is down 1.5%. tesla is down 2.2%. all swept up in a general downside move that has the dow down 500 points. let's talk oil for a moment. warren buffett has been buying up shares of occidental petroleum. >> yes that's right so that's thumbs up, from warren buffett although carl icahn has sold out of occidental so which billionaire has it right?
9:34 am
berkshire is doubling down up ping their stake in occidental so they bought almost close to $10 million more shares so they have a stake worth 17.5% but it makes sense with oil prices it crossed 111 last night, exxon says that -- stuart: way down this morning. >> but again that's growth concerns i think global growth concerns. so we have exxon-mobile also saying that because of the higher oil & gas prices, they are going to be $18 billion , $18 billion in three months in the second quarter. stuart: profit. >> i believe so. stuart: 18 billion. >> i'll double check that but i think it's revenue to be honest, but still 18 billion in revenue in three months is pretty outstanding for an old industry, right? something we thought was in past stuart: it's only a matter of time before the oil company haters, come after them and say you're making far too much money >> it's so complex so pump oil now but we're looking to long term kill your business. stuart: yup. >> what's the incentive? stuart: another big item of news
9:35 am
this morning was that the u.s. is looking at cutting some of the tariffs on china products that were imposed by president trump. now my question is, if they did this , what be the impact on american stocks? >> so positive, because you saw that initial lift i would say in the stock futures overnight. so this is a call with treasury secretary janet yellen and her counterpart in china, and they've been talking about this , the administration, the white house, has even been making calls to retailers saying if we do cut china tariffs, will you, in response, then cut your prices in your stores? they are looking at some ways to try to bring down inflation right now, which is sitting at 40-year highs. i would say retailers probably have an inventory issue right now, demand issue, because we do know interest rates are going up that means people have less to spend. stuart: exactly. it's a very complex thing isn't it? you know, we never talk about currencies, so the value of the dollar. well this is news this morning. the euro is at a, i think it's a
9:36 am
20 year low against our money, our dollar. now, my question is, what does that 20 year low for the euro mean to you and i? >> well it's going to make your european vacations a little bit cheaper i would say. so we're looking at 102 so that is the weakest since december 2002 and the reason, well there are multiple factors as you know. have you looked at natural gas this morning by the way? stuart: down again. in the $5 range now. but the forecasts go up 700% because of the winter upcoming, also the strikes with some of the natural gas plants that has the factor in there but also would say it's the differential in interest rates. you know the europeans, the ecb european central bank, i don't know how many acronyms they use but the ecb is set to finally raise interest rates for the first time in 10 year this month and only raising it by 25 basis points whereas the fed at the end of this summer we could be up 150 basis points, right? so crossing 2% and that means it's more attractive dollar
9:37 am
assets are more attractive when rates go up because you get more return for your money. stuart: okay, 102 on the euro. >> but england is much cheaper now than 20 years ago. i'm so jealous. stuart: in the unly event i a a e eur e eacnac iuess iou get a bar.ar. >> c iustsk o quest question because ht heardour rvw rvwithw uk llo lumbrices pricerecereown, downdo 1 s you hav heav input costs coming down. somebody challenged me saying lumber costs are down 45%. stuart: i am a tree farmer and lumber prices are way, way down. >> what does that mean for the economy when you have input costs? stuart: it means you may see a slight dechain in the inflation rate overall. >> also slowing growth. stuart: it'll come along as well not quite stagflation but somewhat similar in the immediate months ahead. that's what it looks like to me.
9:38 am

10:33 am
when you get so depleted physically or mentally other people govern the church for you. you know how that works. stuart: what does that do to papal infallibility if they resign and retire are they no longer infallible? >> you always talk about infallibility with me. we are supposed to understand infallibility. it does not mean a pope never makes a mistake. it doesn't mean he never trips. it doesn't mean he doesn't make imprudent decisions. all of that happens. we know that through the history of the church. when he makes what we call in infallible statements, when he sits on the seat of the pope and says this doctrine i declare to be infallible then he's not going to ever go against something the holy spirit has inspired. if he retires it is no longer pope, he can't make that statement. let me say something out. these rumors about the pope resigning imminently and other
10:34 am
news stations jumped on that, "varney and company" stood the ground of rationality and said there are no signs there would be an imminent resignation by pope francis and he just said that and has confirmed that i will not resign imminently. only when i can't do any longer. stuart: the pope did reemphasize very recently his stance on abortion in the wake of the roe v wade reversal, he compared to hiring a hitman. what do you say to that? >> paying somebody to take a life. that's what a hitman would be. pope francis has said consistently life in the womb is human life and deserves respect. people will be surprised at this because he is liberal in other areas but this is a great example why when we look at something in the catholic church and something internationally, we can't use
10:35 am
the conservative liberal kind of categories we can use when we talk about american politics. it is very different in the papacy, very different internationally. stuart: the catholic church says life begins at conception and therefore any form of abortion is killing a human being. you can't do that. >> he said i don't understand the constitutional law. what i can talk about is taking the life of an innocent human being in the wound. we wanted is wrong. a catholic church in kentucky held what they call a service of apology to the lgbt q plus community apologizing for the church's lack of respect, compassion and sensitivity for unjust discrimination. your reaction to that? >> there has been a lot of on justice, nation, lack of compassion to all sorts of people, homosexuals have gotten
10:36 am
a lot of that even from the church community. respecting the individual human being doesn't mean i agree with all of your choices and the church has to distinguish what do we believe in? one thing they believe in that we are believing as human beings and christians is respect and compassion for every human being. stuart: the catholic church will not marry gays, that is accurate? respect the individual and their individual point of view but will not allow that institution of gay marriage inside the catholic church. >> doesn't take away learning from the path and saying you need to respect people for who they are, respecting the individual, even people who disagree. blue when you are a theologian and a diplomat as well. >> i'm just telling the truth. sometimes the truth is very compassionate. stuart: you got me again. thank you so much, see you soon. hotels turning to robots to help them deal with the ongoing

equivalent bottles at the ups air pub -- air hub in philadelphia. you see behind me a 747 bringing the stuff in today. look at the numbers. the australian company has a contract to ship 21 million bottles, walmart, target, acme, and kroger. the administration says it brought in 37.2 million bottles but the problem persists. typically 10% when it comes to baby formula, that is the norm. the last couple weeks, 25% out of stock nationwide, 27% on june 19th. republicans and democrats upset about this because the fda,

10:45 am
ashley: they are upset and worried robots are starting to replace a growing number of emphasis dues paying members, robots are not paying any dues, the issue is bubbling up especially in the hospitality industry where robots began to fill jobs, they provide guest services like taking extra towels, they announced their arrival, they can't knock on your door. after properties that are strapped for labor using robots to help with hard to fill night shifts, there might be one person working at the front desk. the hospitality industry lost one. 3 million jobs over the last two years and still 49% of hotels say they are severely understaffed. stuart: we have this excess inventory piling up with big retailers.
10:46 am
liquidators want to dispose of this oversupply. can you tell me which retailers are we talking about. are we cutting prices to get rid of the inventory. ashley: big companies like target and walmart see inventories piling up, big business for liquidators, to dispose of the oversupply and there are savings, we are talking about a glut of kitchen appliances, 40% off, televisions, outdoor furniture and apparel, major change trying to clear out. the liquidators are picking up pallets at portend the warehouse without the goods ever hitting store shelves, it has been created is retailers placed extra orders to compensate for the supply chain bottlenecks put in place -- inflation left less money for discretionary items.

i urge all of you living in florida join the fight, join us in california where we still believe in freedom, freedom of speech, freedom to choose, freedom from hate and freedom to love. don't let them take your freedom. stuart: i won't comment on that. do you think we will see a desantis/newsom face-off? i cannot see newsom winning a national election. >> the fact is this says to me a couple things. gavin newsom is friendly with the biden family and is a faded comp lien democratic circles that biden is stepping aside and gavin newsom says i want to be first in show you how bold i'm going to be, i will be the fighter you say doesn't exist on the left and go after the number one fighter on the right and if they get more people like every moment we are talking about gavin newsom he is happy. you know what else he did? open the account on truth social, trump's conservative version of twitter and is fighting there.

the 10 year treasury yield is also making news. the yield is down 2. 83%. you come out of risky stocks and go to solid bonds, the price up and the yield comes down, 282. a lot of reading on the markets this morning and now this. in november just after the midterm elections the next climate summit begins in egypt. i think the summit years should acknowledge reality, temperature targets, co2 emissions targets will not be met. there whole system of targets and goals is collapsing. climate policy is collapsing. the greens are insisting we must all, we've got to soldier on and put fossil fuels firmly in the rearview mirror but we are not doing that. several european countries including germany have gone back to call. china has started to build new coal-fired power plants, india

fortunately rachel campos duffy agreed to come into the studio to respond to the greens and i am asking the question will they admit their policies are not working? >> no because -- this is the first time you see people deliberately impoverish their own people to achieve a policy goal. i believe the policy goal as a means to was mikel, i think the end is they want this globalist idea, a chinese style capitalist system where the top benefits from capitalism in that way and the rest of us live under socialism, the one that famously said you will know nothing and to be happy, this is what they want for us and climate change is a means to that end, that is my view. we when i'm going to move on -- i do agree with you, just don't want to cross you.

i coached my son for a decade. i tell the team in that situation put the past behind you, start the second half. we look at it through that lens. we clearly saw the same challenges, the fed is going to continue to raise rates, that is for sure and earnings estimates are going to come down. that doesn't sound like a great environment to invest in equities and we've seen multiple contraction from 23 to 15 earnings and we have commodity prices starting to come down albeit may be symptomatically of a recession but helps with input costs and professional investors, hedge funds taking down their short positions right now. the bottom line is we are priced for imperfection and if anything breaks in terms of positive news you see a pretty meaningful rally in the latter part of this year, not so sure the market hasn't done a lot of the wood chopping early.
11:09 am
stuart: is there any particular industry or group of stocks you think could do well in the second half of the year? >> there is. i will say quality which is the most overused term on wall street. what does that mean? quality are companies that generate high free cash that use that to buy back stock or to pay dividends. you want to focus on companies that have short duration meaning earnings visibility, free cash flow now. you find that in healthcare, if you are sick regardless of recession or not you will get medicine. aging, living longer, the odds are given the constituency in congress and the senate at how that may shift i don't think price reform is going to be as onerous. that's very investable. the value tilt and quality. stuart: however you define it,

11:20 am
when these tariffs were in place in 2018 china, born 80% of the cost by subsidizing factories, if you remove the tariffs your helping the chinese central government. with these tariffs they have encouraged companies to move back to the us as soon as biden said we won't -- we will remove tariffs, manufacturers stopped their plans to onshore. if you've got a chip shortage or anything else the best thing to do is to say we will raise these tariffs so people bring back their manufacturing to the us. this is simple stuff to understand. the biden administration doesn't understand. stuart: stuart: i want to talk about hong kong. xi jinping went there first time outside the mainland. i think the chinese communists have crushed hong kong and it is a crying shame because it

like ftx, and worth $400 million -- stuart: interesting story. vice president kamala harris will head to chicago today after a weekend of deadly violence in that city, 62 people were shot this weekend, ten were killed, move on to new york city, at least 52 people were shot, new york city. congresswoman nicole malliotakis, republican from the city of new york joins us now. this was a deadly we can for democrat run cities and it is getting worse. that is my opinion. what say you? >> reporter: if you look at the stats and see how our laws on the books are not being enforced, that's the major issue. in chicago, 87% of those individuals who kill someone had on average 12 prior arrests.
11:35 am
in new york city, 2021 you had 4400 arrests for illegal firearms and if you look at the conviction rate only 700 of those were convicted. 1200 cases were thrown out by prosecutors who refused to prosecute. people talk about new laws but we need to enforce the laws we have, we need judges and prosecutors to hold them accountable. in terms of kamala harris coming to town in chicago i will say, kamala harris supported the minnesota freedom fund that allowed an individual in september to be released onto the street and he ended up shooting and killing someone so these woke politicians that we have at the city, state, and federal level need to get serious about law and order and making sure there are consequences for individuals actions if they want to see this crime that is skyrocketing

turn back to save communities. stuart: the vice president is making this trip that was arranged before the terrible shootings of july 4th. is she being handed a job again that she will find difficult to do? she was handed the border job, that didn't work. what about crime in the big cities? >> the vice president is completely incompetent. the president did task her with border security and it has only gotten worse. we see human trafficking, child trafficking, fentanyl trafficking becoming a leading cause for 18-45-year-old americans dying. to give the vice president another task particularly when it comes to crime and law and order when we know this vice president has been a soft on crime prosecutor but in addition to that supported bail funds, urged americans to fund
11:37 am
these organizations that continue to bail people out of jail despite their criminal histories, i think is the wrong approach here but at the end of the day this is what the democratic party has stood for, lawlessness at our borders, lawlessness in cities, and it is absolutely outrageous we give this vice president more responsibility when she can't do the things she has been tasked from the beginning. stuart: another difficult day for the vice president. congresswoman malliotakis, always appreciate it. listen to this one. a woke employee at the universal music group claims he was fired for speaking up about abortion rights. take me through the story, fascinating. ashley: michael lopez, production coordinator at universal music enterprises says he was devastated by the supreme court's ruling on roe

gas prices, jeff baeza's, the president tweeting, the july 4th weekend, comedies should just lower gas prices because of the invasion of ukraine, that prompted this. jeff bezos saying inflation as far too important for the white house to keep making famous like this, either straightahead misdirection or deep misunderstanding of basic market dynamics, the set up a series of other tweets to highlight his low unemployment rate he says he has and blaming republicans for stalling his agenda even though democrats control both houses. >> biden has to stop blaming everybody but himself what is going on, take some responsibility for what is happening and do something, he is going to have to do something to fix it. >> beto's joins mark zuckerberg, jamie dimon, larry summers, concerned about a downturn ahead without a pivot and policies, i talked with

11:54 am
and jeff baeza's, they are all democrats. musk is moved more into the republican camp but there is no way president biden would have been elected had it not and for hundreds of millions of dollars zuckerberg and beto's put behind biden, they are supporters, they supported him and yet even they are calling into question his economic agenda and that's very troubling for all of us that there is no anti-inflation agenda from this administration and nobody -- i have an idea. why doesn't president biden bring in somebody like jeff bezos who knows how to run something? nobody in this white house knows anything about the economy or business. stuart: something else to add, the wall street journal has article reading falling commodity prices raise hopes that inflation has peaked, we put on the screen oil is down to $99 a barrel, way down today.

doesn't this signal peak inflation has been reached and we are looking toward less inflation and that's good for the economy. you are laughing. why? >> i've always been an advocate of looking at commodity prices as a lead indicator. whether it means we reached peak inflation we will see. this is only been the last week but i looked at those numbers because i knew you would ask about this and they are still up some 30% so that is a huge jump. stuart: thanks for setting us straight. always appreciate it, see you again soon. 11:55, you know what that means? the trivia question. which country has the longest coastline? russia? the philippines? indonesia? canada? tricky question. the answer after this. node-posr
