should do. we'll see how this plays out because apple is a huge company. it was one of the first to send their workers back home after they built that enormous, beautiful campus. they said forget about that, go home. can they get these employees to come back? stuart: well, you're not supposed to say it, only time will tell. but, you know, it's going to be a long, drawn-out process. lauren: i am for apple. i think workers should be in the office. but part of me sympathizes with these employees. they've been doing this successfully and effectively for almost three years now from home. stuart: you got it. oh, you've got news on liv golf pulling in more big names. lauren: so the superstar is rumored to be cameron smith. there are reports he signed a $100 million guaranteed contract. also hawaii deck key mats yam massachusetts figuring out pga's

>> great to be here. stuart: great to have you back. >> yes with, thank you. stuart what did dr. fauci do that requires investigation? >> wow, how much time do we have? there have been allegations from senator rand paul that they were funding dangerous gain of function research, which i call frank ifen steining viruses in china. there's allegations hay did that when it was illegal after it was banned by the obama administration. when it comes to this investigation, it's very important to get to the bottom of this so it doesn't happen again. however, there's a big difference between investigations from congress and accountability, and i'm not so confident that dr. fauci won't just ride off like many bureaucratic officials have in the past after making a number of mistakes that had detrimental effects and consequences with a pension funded by tack payers with little consequence to their behavior and actions. outer stuart the worst thing to me was what happened in schools and the way the kids were just not learning, and they were not

blacklist scientists who disagreed with him publicly. stuart: that's true. >> and he he used his position and and taxpayer money to do it. stuart: but there's no investigation unless the republicans win back the house. >> that is correct, yes. stuart: i'm going to put something up on the screen, katie, have a look at this. it's the amount of time from theif to oval office that the president has spent, 68 weekends away, far more than trump or obama. now, do you think he's taking too much time away? what kind of image does that project? >> well, you know, this is the way that joe biden won the presidency, right? he was in his basement, he wasn't on the campaign trail. and the fact is as we've seen president joe biden off of the television at the beach instead, his approval rating has tick thed up. so when he's not speaking on behalf of the democratic party, he's not front of the mind of the the media and they're covering what's happening in washington and the gaffes he has made on these policy positions, it's actually been good for -- stuart: they want him on vacation. >> they want him as far away as

possible, and democrats want him as far away from the if campaign trail -- stuart: he's 79 years old. he's 80 in november. >> well, it certainly doesn't project strength, in my opinion, to have the president gone for weeks on end. he's working remotely, essentially, in delaware pretty much every weekend during his tenure as president. stuart: well, thanks for coming back to the show. >> great to see you. stuart: don't be such a stranger. quick check of futures, here's where we are, down 40 on the dow, down 25 on the nasdaq. big losses yesterday as well. former treasury secretary larry summers warns that student loan debt relief would worsen inflation. pennsylvania senate nominee dr. oz facing back backlash for video. roll tape. >> doing some grocery shopping. i'm at wegener if's, and my wife wants some vegetable.

infiltrated, and as i mentioned to you he's a jack dorsey hire, so guess where he's pointing the finger? stuart: tell me. >> at the current ceo -- stuart: this undermines twitter and supports elon musk, it would seem to me. susan: that's exactly right. stuart: over ownership of the company. susan: if you have concerns over what the actual number of users are, i think that helps elon musk. stuart: it looks like it. apple, i just read this report, they're going to start producing iphone 14s in i could ya? -- india? huge switch out of china. susan: this is a win for india, but this is not a story of apple leaving china. it's assembly going to both countries, and that means you'll have two assembly plants in china and india for the iphone 14 and beyond. so taiwan's foxconn will be operating both sites. bloomberg says for the upcoming

hole's a fabulous place, don't get me wrong. i was out there last summer for another event, but that was kevin mccarthy, who's much better than the federal reserve. [laughter] stuart: here's the question, larry: has the biden administration complete9ly reversed everything that the trump administration did? >> well, yeah -- the short answer's, yes. i mean, they haven't succeeded yet in totally reversing the tax cuts, but they've completely reversed the deregulation. stuart: yep. >> and that's really important. then, of course, heavy completely reversed the energy independence, energy dominance if during the trump years. and by the way, you know, trump's deregulation policy, it was an all of the above energy. in other words, it translated, it was good for fossils, but it was also good for renewables and, in fact, we were developing new nuclear reactor policies, nuclear power policies. but,ting yeah. i mean, chipping away at the

taxes which were so successful, completely to obliterating the regulations which the -- the deregulation which was so successful. you know, it's a strange thing. it's like a biden is obsessed with keeping trump off the ballot in 0 2024, but i think he's just as obsessed, if not more so, with keeping trump's tremendous market, freer bear -- free enterprise, capitalist economy. these guys are socialists using regulatory policy as a way of central planning. that's the whole thing -- stuart: he's using climate policy. it's his vehicle for getting away from a free market, dynamic economy. it's climate that he's pushing. never realized that during the campaign in 2020. we didn't know that he was going to become a climate warrior. we didn't know that, or that he would -- >> well, i don't know, stu.

that's maybe not exactly right because he did say a couple times during the campaign that he would end fossil fuel. he said that. stuart: that is true. >> so i don't know, we didn't take him -- we maybe didn't take him seriously enough, because he was trying to sell himself as a moderate. but, actually, it's a very immoderate platform. but look, the reversal of the free market policies of trump, what's it done? it's taken a boom and turned it into a bust. stuart: yeah. >> in 18, 20 months, okay? it's taken virtually no inflation and turned it into high inflation. if that's why confidence is so low. and, by the way, that quote from nancy lazar is very important. layoffs are now beginning again. this is another big recessionary sign, and it's why that gallup. poll is so bad. people are really in bad shape. there is no confidence.

wages, real wages are falling, etc. you know the story as well as i do. stuart: yep. >> my point is bidens don't seem to care. they just want their agenda of regulatory, central planning socialism above all. stuart: you've got it. >> and they don't want donald trump to come back. they don't want him. stuart: larry are, i hope you can stay tuned for the rest of the program, because i'm going to detail my personal journey from socialism to capitalism by way of hong kong. i think that might interest you. and we'll be watching you at 4:00 this around on "kudlow." all right, got that. republicans already have their sights set on legislation they want to purr saw if they take back -- pursue if they take back congress and who they want to go after as well. we've got that story. dr. fauci steps doubling in december -- steps down in december, but america will also say good-bye to mr. science. roll tape. >> it's easy to criticize, but

answers from the sec on whether this is constitution alleyed aring a letter to the sec saying this in a statement, quote: chair gensler and president biden's desire to transform our entire economy through administrative action by an unelected commission is unwise and even dangerous. the sec should immediately reverse course on this ill-advised proposal to save taxpayer dollars on fighting this in court. but biden groups disagree that the sec's proposal would lead to a blacklist of fossil fuel companies. the campaign manager saying this in a statement is: wall street banks are the largest funders of fossil fuels in the world. the bizarre notion that banks are boycotting energy companies is just the latest flavor of climate. denial cooked up by extreme politicians and their fossil fuel industry the donors. it's part of a broader attempt to prevent free market businesses from addressing urgent, climate-related

financial risksment but some republicans are prejudicing to get answers -- pledging to get answers from the sec if they take the majority many november. >> the goal of the house financial services committee and congress should be to push back hard against this securities and exchange commission rulemaking. it would impose huge new liabilities on public companies and, again, hurt -- not protect investors, but hurt investors by politicizing the allocation of capital. stuart: >> reporter: even some states are taking action themselves. the treasurer in west virginia is actually banning banks from receiving state contracts if they follow these esg rules. stuart? stuart: very interesting. hillary, thanks very much, indeed. here's what we have still ahead on the show, will cain, brian kilmeade, david webb, brett bozell. the 10:00 hour of "varney" is next. ♪

hi, i'm karen. i lost 41 pounds with golo and i've kept it off for a full year. i've been dieting for decades. with golo, i can enjoy my life. i don't feel like i'm restricted, i feel like i'm just living my life. stuart: come together, the beatles. what are we looking at? what city is that? is it new york? that is new york, 10:00 eastern, straight to the money. not much change in stock prices, dow down 30 and nasdaq

up 36. here's the mover today, the yield on the 10 year treasury, 3.03% hurting big tech. the price of oil $93.16. bitcoin hanging on to $21,500 a coin. the interest rate on new home sales. what have we got? lauren: seasonally adjusted annual rate of $511,000 at the same time inventory on the market went up 10.9 months. stuart: it is down 12%. >> 12. 6%. %. the price is still high. $439,400. stuart: still up there. lauren: rates are going up.

stuart: don't think those numbers have any impact on the market, dow is down 8 points. now this. during a commercial break yesterday, douglas murray and i were discussing college guys. and even more shocks that as a youngster i was a socialist. he wanted to know, how did i become a card-carrying capitalist? here's the story. i arrived in hong kong. it is that simple. i had been traveling in the middle east and india and struggled with gross inefficiency and lethargy of bureaucratic socialist economists. i flew from new delhi to hong kong and my eyes were opened. everything worked and worked well. it was an intense competition which gets prices very low and

everyone is engaged in bustling activity. there was a dynamism i haven't felt any place else. free-market capitalism is very liberating and made a rapid transition from pie in the sky socialist dreaming to getting on with my life, climbing the food chain because capitalism gives you free reign to our mission. what's wrong with that? the best out of everybody. i suppose you could say i just grew up. there's the old expression, if you are not a socialist by age 25 you have no heart, and if you are still a socialist after 25 you have no head. now you know why i was so worked out about the communists ending hong kong's freedom. that is where i saw the light. second hour of varney just getting started. will kane is with us, will kane

was listening to "my take" about hong kong. my question is to the socialist youngsters of today see the light eventually the way i did? >> let's see if we can back into our answer. what interrupted your theoretical view of the world was reality, reality set in, reality's affects. i will give you my quick story. a combination of federal and reality as well. i started to make a transaction, capitalist conservative worldview. when i was in law school and started to study the constitution and see the way these ideas connect with one another, to rationalize themselves with one another as opposed to ad hoc got instinct, and 24, 25, when i started my first business which was small

town newspapers in texas, and pull yourself up by the boot step is required to be a success in the united states of america. that is when reality hit for me. those two concepts coming together, 24, 25. i answer your question with a question. i today's young people forced to face reality by age 25? how long do we extend the lessons? when do we pull away the safety net as parents, culture and government? what really shapes you toward the light is reality. stuart: being chucked in the deep end of life is facing reality. that is when you will make a political shift. it is true for you and definitely true for me. you are not off the hook yet. president biden spent 68 weekends away from the white house so far in his presidency,

outpacing donald trump and obama. i am troubled by the image of a president who goes on long vacations and is sealed away from the media. i think it looks weak and i think it looks inaccessible. what do you think? >> it is superficial, but i also think it's not the picture of strength to see a picture of the president on vacation, turns over when it stops pedaling. i don't mean to be petty but we are projecting an image of weakness and it is probably out of necessity, the bike riding, vacations, we know president biden is in a diminished state of 80 and these vacations are necessary, he needs a break. the presidency follows you wherever you go, you are never off the clock. like onto printer we talked about a minute ago, not like you punched out of your 9-to-5,

there's somebody tapping on the door, i am sure. not sure that is the case with president biden. that leads to the question, if not president biden because he is on vacation or diminished then who runs the united states of america? stuart: hard question to answer at this point. thanks for being with us. always a pleasure. >> into the deep end of life. i love that. that is correct. stuart: the equivalent of the university of hard knocks. see you. >> asked the pictures of those days and your response? if i had a camera i would have sold it to continue my journey. stuart: i traveled around america for four years, had no pictures, all the time. and you are right, i would have sold it, >> not on your parents to dine.

>> and scott shallady, when i see natural gas go up like this, 14 year high in america that has to translate to higher inflation just down the road as winter approaches. >> that's my big worry, and not as much as it was in europe, they are in trouble, most google word was firewood, and we are worried about fuel, food and shelter, what is going to happen, the interest rates will

climb higher with the fed doing the only thing they do is tamp down demand, destroy demand and destroy wealth, that's all they can do. we 've seen inflation about little bit because we've seen a dramatic decline in crude oil prices and that is because the economy is suffering mightily and people made other choices. what will happen is the base rate around 2 and a half, we raise one. 5% looking at two more raises of one. 75 can we are between 4% and 5% by the end of the year. what if we see these energy prices, we see what happened to natural gas, food, fuel, and shelter went up last month. only recently came down, if crude oil goes up $100 a barrel it is up again today. we have inflation back where it was or higher with interest rates markedly higher. what will that spell for the economy? stuart: stagflation. i think that is it. you've been saying this for a

couple weeks. sorry i am out of time. come back and see us real soon. i want to look at these ape -- that's what we called him, amc, the apes stock up 19%. lauren: it is a few minutes as the trading session, trading resumed several times already. these are amc's preferred equity, 2-for-1 stock split is one way to describe it. they made their trading debut on 13%. one of the analysts says you can expect amc to issue a portion of shares to pay down the debt, that's the thinking there. take a look at bed, bath, and beyond. the stock has been all over the place after severe losses after the billionaire dumped all his shares, bed, bath, and beyond, needs capital to stay afloat, options are running out. it had been at 30.

i am bringing these up because i spoke to a former short seller, highly critical of ryan cohen and amc's adam aaron and i'm quoting him here, he said those two figures, quote, are leading sheep to slaughter. the sheep are the retail traders. he says they have been manipulated. with a been minute related by these figures. as we watch the meme stocks come back, the big influencers in the company doing things behind the scenes, some are getting hurt and some are sticking with it. stuart: we have a chinese electric vehicle manufacturer down 10%. what is the problem? lauren: wide loss, wider than expected, it is falling and falling fast. they say they will deliver 30,000 vehicles in the 3 quarter, wall street looking for 35,000.

stuart: let's go back to the real estate market, the decline in new home sales may have helped the stock market, maybe the fed won't be so encouraged to raise rates. then we've got the story that boise, denver, salt lake city, they saw home prices soar during the pandemic. >> people moved out west to work and they are cheaper than california. sellers are being forced to dramatically cut their asking price. boise, idaho, 70% of homes had the seller dropped the price last month. blue 170% of homes dropped. more than 50% in talk -- tacoma, 15% of sellers cut prices. stuart: very interesting.

canceling student debt will push inflation even higher. i will ask economist kevin hassett about that. he joins us in the next hour. a new study shows exercise may reduce your chances of getting the virus. he has worked for twee 7 presidents and was the face of the covid response, and they said goodbye to mister science. >> it is easy to criticize but they are really criticizing science because i represent science. stuart: griff jenkins has the latest on fauci's farewell. ♪

below $50 a share. doctor fauci is stepping down in december as president biden's chief medical advisor. republicans want to investigate fauci after he steps down, the drama is not over. >> it is not. fauci may be stepping down but not likely running off into the sunset of republicans have their way. doctor fauci making it clear in his december departure he plans to pursue the next phase of his career, after 50 years of government service. president biden saying in a statement i extend my deepest thanks for his public service. the united states of america is stronger, more resilient and healthier because of him. fauci spent 38 years as head of the national institute for infectious diseases and credits science for his work but he lost confidence of many americans with statements like this. >> the bad guy to an entire

subset of people because i represent something that is uncomfortable for them. it's called the truth. >> reporter: as you mentioned republicans are lining up promising hearings if they take back control of the house. listen. >> we already told doctor fauci to preserve all of his document at e-mails. >> los doctor fauci decides to seek asylum in some foreign country whose powerball jackpot is 287 chickens and a goat and therefore which won't enforce a subpoena from the united states congress then doctor fauci, retirement or not, is going to be spending a lot of time in front of a congressional committee. >> reporter: what might those hearings look like? probably going to focus on the origins of the virus along with those masking mandates coming as kids start going back to school wondering about some of

the masking requirements. blue and that is the first stand up report from the white house we have had without the leaf blower in the background. i think you've got clout at the white house. see you later. doctor marty makary joining us now. looking at the start of the pandemic, did doctor fauci give us a blueprint of how not to respond to a pandemic? >> many of us were called outliers because we were warning of a pandemic and they were saying doctor fauci is not alarmed, his telling americans not to do anything different, not to be worried so for january, february and march the only morning he gave the country was for old people not to take a cruise. stuart: what did you want from him? >> his primary job is grants for research and if you look at the grants he gave it was not to support any vaccine related comp occasion research, never

to study natural immunity, these are the issues we need to understand, even how it spreads, using the surface transition model when it was airborne for months they were pushing, wash your hands like crazy, how long would have taken with $42 billion budget to do that experiment? probably one day, a complete failure of leadership. stuart: the cdc i use the word liberally, completely reorganized. is that to take account of the problems that surfaced during the pandemic? >> i was hopeful it was a real mea culpa but if you look at it it is a pr statement. they have a new communications director hired from planned parenthood and if you look what they announced they are adding two small offices including office of health equity and no change in policy so many people are saying it's a real apology would >> in policy and not just this vague apology. stuart: i will leave it there because it seems we haven't got this right yet.

we are trying. thank you very much for joining us, great service all these years, appreciate it. new study reveals that working out could lower your chances of getting covid. you are in florida, tell me more. ashley: we know regular exercise is important to healthy lifestyle but a new study shows it could reduce the risk of contracting covid 19 are developing severe disease. cording to a study by the british journal of sports medicine, racking up 150 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity each week or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity activity, offers the best protection against covid infection and severe disease. regular exercises had an 11% lower risk of covid infection, 40% risk of serious disease and also lowered the risk of being hospitalized with covid by 36%

and risk of death from covid by 43%. researchers say physical activity is well known to have a positive effect on immunity which helps to explain protection against covid. get out there and exercise. stuart: thanks. teachers in ohio's largest school district go on strike days before the school year begins. op-ed, new york post, a new york teacher exposes the state school system sham where guessing gets you a pass. carol markowitz explains the testing sham next.

jokingly said she was all sees and you will get through and the kid did. stuart: that is it. it is multiple-choice, the youngster just ticked off see on every single question and that gave that student enough points to pass. lauren: exactly right. it is so funny because this kid deviated for two questions and guess to be and the answer would have been see on those and still past. some convoluted scheme to make anybody pass the take this test it is almost impossible to fail and it is a travesty. kids deserve better. what parent is okay with her kids passing 19%? stuart: you will need 19% success on questions to pass. is this widespread? >> go to college with that testing. it is elsewhere.

>> i don't have a similar tale of -- i approach parents all over the country. the standards, have become rock-bottom. they can do no wrong, there's nothing you can do to not get promoted to the next great and teachers who are evaluated on these test scores make it easier for kids to pass. we are doing kids a realtor service come a doing the country a disservice, none of this is good for kids, none of it is good for society. we one teachers in columns, ohio voted to strike just days before the new school year begins. they were offered 3% raises for the next three years, they turned it down. this is ohio's largest school district, the kids are the ones losing in all this, they never seemed to win in all this. >> exactly right. kids are being put last. they were put last before the pandemic.

it is hard to watch this. kids should finally be put first and what we've gone through the last few years, the solution is giving an opportunity to exit these broken failed systems. i don't think a parent should have to send their kids to a school where the exam rate is 19%. they should be able to take her kids into rigorous schools and limited to risk -- rich people who get these kids out of schools. stuart: are you talking a voucher system? >> arizona passed an expensive one. i don't see that is the rule in other states? you don't hear about private school teacher shortages and i wonder why that is. they have all the same qualifications and in a lot of states private school teachers earn less than public school teachers. the real problem is in public schools. stuart: the real problem is the teachers union but that is my

personal opinion and you probably share it. thank you. see you again soon. have fun in florida, stay where you are. >> i am. stuart: the president of the american federation of teachers admitted she shared a fake list of banned books. i don't understand this. lauren: she apologizes, she's head of the teachers and said she thought it was checked, my bad, we want to be forgiving but the head of teachers shouldn't be making mistakes, this is the fake one. she said these books were banned in florida, the catcher in the rock, a wrinkle in time, of mice and men, harry potter series, most of those books are considered classics and they are in the state florida and she was trying to make a point that florida is trying to ban these classics. stuart: not banned at all. let's move on. elon musk's lawyers have subpoenaed former twitter ceo jack dorsey. we will tell you what musk's legal team wants. ford, apple, the latest

from a company like this, in those hybrid offices, remote workers more at risk. stuart: a new study shows men are dropping out of the workforce. and women are not? ashley: this is shocking. research shows millions of working age men have been retreating from the labor force for years and that trend hasn't celebrated since the pandemic. the work great for what economists call 244 to 54 years, lower than it was decades ago. 97% of prime working age men were in the workforce. last month that share had fallen to 88%. back in the 1950s if you didn't have a job, you were looking for one. the odds are because you dropped out of the workforce

altogether. studies show we have this on working army of 7 million prime age men in the united states. doesn't hurt you get freebies from the government so you don't have to work, the research shows the great resignation may be slowing down for the number of americans quitting their jobs were different one fell to 4.51% in july, down from 6% a year ago. according to federal reserve bank of new jersey study, the decline was most pronounced for women and those with household income of less than $600,000. getting back to the men they spent 2000 hours a year on average watching, quote, screams, don't know if that's video games, on their phones and almost half of them taking pain pills every day. one economist says they are watching call of duty.

stuart: that hurts. hold on a second. two ladies with me right there. i want you to tell me why are more men dropping out of the workforce? >> it links to the rise of technology and robots that they didn't have a skill set so they left the workforce and got depressed. he doesn't like that. >> it has to be the current workforce, slow to come back. to hard labor you got to get a lot of money at if you get less money and play video games why not? stuart: i was waiting for someone to say men was weekend women are strong. >> when you have a tickle on your throat you call out sick and fiona has to bring ut. ashley: exactly right. stuart: i am ending this

stuart: it is precisely 10:51. brian kilmeade, new york city has seen an influx of 6000 illegal migrants just since may, and in dc the pentagon has denied mayor bowser's request for the migrants. why did these places declare themselves enjoy cities in the first place? >> they wanted to be political

correct, you look at left-wing run cities and we are tired of these great people being arrested and deported any moment. the cops now know they can't arrest you by breaking the law, by a being here illegally in a century city, you are not breaking the law so if you come here illegally, you can stay. with governor abbott, there are some extra and they are complaining. it was turned down again in dc from the national guard, we can start doing that, they are not trained to handle that. when president biden comes back to work in a day or two, it has only been three weeks, if you factor in the fact that he had covid 19, he hasn't worked in a while. when he goes back to work, when bowser calls 800-white-house

and says i have an illegal immigration problem do you think president biden will have the leadership quality to get behind a microphone and say we have to handle the border? because the border has come to his doorstep. governor abbott made a desperate move, a costly move at a great move. stuart: a border has come to every city and town in the united states. you've got a new fox nation special out tomorrow called who is joe rogan? let's give our viewers a preview. >> he has done what he wanted to do and say and that is very appealing. you have to have confidence. >> people have a strong reaction to joe rogan. he seems cocky and in-your-face and edgy. you either love him or hate him but you will know who he is. stuart: i think he has a very interesting broadcaster. i am always intrigued by his subjects and how he goes about covering them.

>> they are comedians or ufc fighters or deep thinkers, a little different, out looking for big-name personalities, most of them aren't. to have joe rogan, humble enough to ask about people having expertise is extremely well read but the question is where did he come from? he came out as an actor, comedian, then fear factor and burst on and got bigger as a comedian and came out with a podcast idea, almost nobody was doing it, let me roll for 3 or 4 hours and thought you are crazy, spotify said you didn't, i had a better idea, this is $100 million, just do it for us. we are still waiting for that call. everyone said 3 minutes attention span, that's the mtv generation, not so much when it comes to joe rogan. stuart: i remember his interview with elon musk when he was smoking weed. that made some headlines. >> everything he does he lets

stuart: 11:00 eastern time. it is tuesday august 23rd. it is down 100 points. it was up 60, 70, now it is up for points. volatility ahead of the big fed meeting. the price of crude oil going up, 93, 94. the 10 year treasury yield coming in at 3.006, backed off

a little bit, just a little, not much. president biden has spent more time on vacation then his three immediate president assessors. since january last year he spent 150 days in delaware. nothing wrong with taking frequent breaks. we all need them. a couple points. first, politics, travel for ordinary folks is difficult and expensive this summer. chaos, cancellations, $4 gas, i can see a little resentment. especially when the biden team has not fixed airline problems into gas is about where it was when he became president. then there's the question, is he up to the job. the president turns 80 in november and is clearly slowing down. if he needs a lot of vacation our enemies perceive weakness. than the feeling that his handlers are deliberate the keeping him under wraps.

you don't have to deal with those pesky reporters. during the 2,020 campaign he was kept in his basement. during the pandemic he retreated behind his mask and zoom meetings. as president, he's out of town. the president's latest vacation began wednesday, august 10th, took his family on air force one. august 16th he came back to dc for a few hours to sign the inflation reduction act. that night he took marine one to his beach house in delaware. he makes a brief campaign appearance in maryland and then it is back to the wilmington place for the weekends. i am not being snarky here, the president is entitled to a lot of our and our but at times like this and the president like this we need reassurance that he is up to the job. seeing and hearing. third hour of varney starts right now.

charles hurt is here, do you think president biden is up to the job. >> no. that's a simple answer to that. no indeed. but your monologue is spot on. presidents are entitled to r&r and should get it. the central argument of president biden's campaign is he would make the chaos stop. that is the strategy of his handlers, keeping him out of the press but the problem as you point out, there is so much chaos whether is the invasion at the airport, gas prices are inflation or rising china, all this chaos and when you realize how much this guy is on vacation and in the white house he seems out to lunch anyway.

it is a real problem and winds up being a political question and people who are perceived as being weak, history is littered with politicians who have been tossed out of office because they are perceived as being weak. i don't think that's an unfair perception anyway. we when i want to talk about donald trump. president biden has been silent on the morrow log arrayed for two weeks. mar-a-lago raid for two weeks. why is he been so silent? >> it is a difficult topic for him but this dovetails into everything you pointed out. this is another example where the president seems out to lunch. this is one of the most important historic events where you have a former president and possible future political

opponent of this white house being searched by the fbi and the idea that these decisions aren't being made above the level of the fbi doesn't pass the smell test. remember in the 2016 election you had meetings in the oval office with the president and vice president with then vice president joe biden talking about efforts to spy on the trump campaign. the idea that all these decisions are being made below him i don't believe it. in the second place it doesn't matter if he thinks it is on the up and up. millions of americans have legitimate questions about whether the fbi is being used as a political tool to go after this administration's enemies and that is a serious problem. when american citizens lose faith in the law enforcement capacities of their federal government you have a serious problem on your hands and

president biden is doing nothing to allay those fears. stuart: can't see him running for a second term, can you? >> it is tough but the problem the democrats had in 2020 when they picked him the first time they still have so who do they go to? that's the conundrum for me. i have a hard time seeing how they get behind president biden again but who do they turn to? i don't know. stuart: thank you very much. the dow is heading south, up 160 points. the s&p down twee 8 as well, down 160 points. let me put it like this. inflation seemed to be moderating a little. the supply chain problems moderating just a little. will those factors allow the fed to be more dovish?

>> a little. until it turns into a lot i don't think the fed gets dovish yet. they have to stay hawkish until the data shows the little bits of moderation are stable new norms. stuart: when you say hawkish a sharp rise of 74 basis points a couple times. >> we will see another one in september, 50 basis points relative to the historic levels. stuart: how does the market react, 75, 75, 75, 50. if that happens, what does the market do? >> the market does what we see now. a lot of red in the markets, we see that through labor day and september if this doesn't change. stuart: i am going to get specific, retest the lows. >> what is in that time period,

unexpected data, much higher than people expected, i would think we want to see more control. we will go down from where we are, more good news. stuart: what should we avoid doing in this environment? >> one of the pieces of macro data is consumer data at record highs, consumer debt, $16 trillion, taking out more credit card debt, auto loans, high interest rates, employment uncertainty. stuart: rates are going to go up. they keep going up. last question. at the moment we have 8% inflation at the consumer level, 6%, 5%.

>> the 5 percentage ratio. stuart: that is quite positive. a nice solid rally. a plateau towards the end. one year from now. will i be better off or worse off if i don't change stock market investments? >> crystal ball questions this morning. what i am doing, looking at dividend yielding stocks. i want to go into stocks, they have good cash flow. good cash flow. there is exposure to upside in underlying price growth but income coming in. stuart: this is your personal stuff so you can tell me what you bought for the dividend. >> absolutely. i personally have been

a lot of public attention when hedge fund manager david einhorn noted the disparity between modest sales and the company's guy high stock market valuation of one hundred million dollars at the time einhorn commented the pastrami must be amazing. at the end of the second court the company reported net loss of $9 million attributed to closing of the daily and transition to bio plastics. stuart: that is a weird story. see you again. former treasury secretary larry summers warning that forgiving student loans will make inflation worse. how does that work? how does that create inflation. >> i have a hard time

recovering from that deli story. hysterical that you found -- it is very simple. what happens is mostly high income people, people who went to med school and have lots of student debt and vote reliably democratic and to reward their base president biden wants to forgive that debt. they are paying to the government one thousand dollars a month to repay their student loans and student loans are forgiven they have an extra thousand dollars a month they can spend on something else. the problem with inflation from the first place as you've been talking about is when you have lots of demand driving prices up. this is going to take a segment of the population that is already well off and give them an extra thousand dollars a month to spend on stuff driving prices up. stuart: apart from the economics of this i think there

is a heavy political element because i think the administration is trying to buy votes, vote for me, do you see it that way? >> exactly what they are doing. we've got to reward their base which is the teachers unions, trial lawyers and liberal academics so they are likely to do this and the irony is democrats pretend to be for the little guy but the typical blue-collar worker doesn't have a college degree, doesn't have student loans and a lot of them have worked hard to pay off their loans and all those people are getting left behind by the bidens, people who haven't paid their loans and people who haven't repay their loans are people who are english literature majors, and took a graduate program that didn't give them the skills so they are angry about society

and support the democrats and they are about to go -- stuart: trial lawyers and activists. jerome powell speaks at jackson hole, what do you want him to say? what do you want the fed to do at this moment? >> i will be at the conference and look forward to talking to you about it this week or next to see to see the impressions. a lot of stuff goes on behind the scenes which is unfortunate. what is going on in the world, inflation is dropping because we are in a recession and generally in a stagflation every recession it goes down to what the wage inflation level, wage inflation is 5% or 6% and inflation stays there until the on employment rate goes up and wage inflation declines and you can get back to two. the fed is at risk at looking at the declining inflation,

saying we don't need to tighten anymore but if you get close to a 2% target they have to tighten a lot more. and if we pause and reconsider and watch the data then it will be catastrophic. i need to see him describe the process i described to you. we have to get it below fat which means we have to watch the on employment rate go up a little. stuart: that would be speaking and planing. which is not something fed chair normally do. you need a translator. i am sure you will find one. >> we will read between the lines. stuart: thanks a lot, see you again soon. harvard university may lose its title as the richest university in the country. texas takes the title. is that right? ashley: you are right. forget yale, forget columbia,
