>> be careful about how much you dig your heels in the sand about going back to work because they might find a much, much cheaper alternative. >> the demand for workers is very strong and u.s. companies

will see growth but not on the edge of a major slowdown and companies not as profitable and puts pressure on stocks. >> cracks and inflations cooling and coming down from a 9 to 10% range to a 3, 4, maybe 3, 4, 5% range. that's good progress. but the battles not over. >> that's why we're $32 trillion in debt is the garbage these people put through. they didn't wait and have to get their port and that's what they got. stuart: i love this song. start me off. there's a lot for you. 11:00 east coast time and tuesday, january 10, and the markets are showing very little real price movement, dow's up 60 and nasdaq up 20. as for big tech, kind of a mixed picture there. they're all up except for apple

down to $129. amazon, meta, facebook, alphabet, microsoft all up. now that . watch out, the government is coming for your gas stove. yes, the consumer product safety commission is considering a ban on the grounds that cooking with gas releases harmful pollutants into your home. commissioner richard trump jr., i believe he's the son of the late coal mine chief, he told bloomburg your gas stove is a hidden hazard. products that can't be made safe can be banned. gas stoves use natural gas, a fossil fuel, that is worthy of a ban according to environmentalists. the study was coauthored by the mappinger of a carbon -- manager of a carbon-free building program at clean energy group.

to these folks, nat gas has to go even if it means yanking out stoves in 40 million homes. the bill contained $840 rebate if you chucked the gas stove and went for electric and $540 to convert your gas stove to electric. there you go. the government is planning and setting a stage for a ban. what a farce. do you think all the electricity we'll need will come from renewables? environmentalism is a religion, the greens insist that you worship their church. third hour of varney starts right now. stuart: the gas stove ban was ideal introduction to our guest of this tuesday morning. jimmy failer. >> a lot of people don't know

i'm heir to the ge fortune. you gave me $20 in the commercial break and the climate crowd has become a church because they're always passing around the collection plate. every one of these sermons come withs a hey, if you could throw money in the wicker basket because that's the grift of climate change. the old saying if you have the facts, pound the facts but if you have nothing, pound the table. the environment activists have been pounding the world is ending for years and the people pushing are getting loaded and nobody is following their own advice when it comes to cutting carbon footprints or anything like that . like john kerry flying private. he can comply commercial because everyone mistakes him with the horse from mr. ed. i owed him one. stick with me, climate change is the ultimate form of elite white privilege. and the reason i say that is someone that spent a lot of time

in the inner city driving a cab, i promise you if you're getting crushed by inflation or soaring crime rates and worried about getting mugged on the way to the bodega or bodega as joe biden called it, you worry about the weather change in 40 to 50 years. they're living a prosperous life and convince themselves they're saving the world. that's the face of the movement. john kerry. stuart: i can't see the government telling you get rid of the gas stove. >> there's no way. the government has no right to do that number one. number two -- stuart: they could do it. >> they'll try as they always do with this government. stuart: they made us change the lightbulbs and size of the toilet water tank. they did all that. >> i don't doubt they'll try but this is the scam of climate change. it's not being done with a greater good in mind. anybody who understands energy markets tells you it's not

physically possible we'll do this without fossil fuels. people would die would fossil fuels and they're legislating a industry they know nothing about. stuart: i want you to watch the media already having a minor league meltdown over the republican majority in the house. watch this. >> the keys have been handed over to extremistist. >> the republicans don't want to govern. they're locusts and they feed on dysfunction and surviving suffe. >> what will be a problem is if the american people will be held captive over the next two years to the extreme maga republican agenda. stuart: we've got two more years of that . we're going to have fun. >> i have to tell you as a political comedian, we almost resent this because there's so much crazy, there's no shelf life for any material anymore. back in the day it was like bill clinton had an intern in his life or george bush said the word nuclear funny. in the modern era, topic is like

goldfish and died three hours after the joke and they outcrazey each other and you understand liberal media has become just a really well-dressed group therapy session where everybody turns on the t to be told they're better than those republicans. they're better than the middle of the country who happen to be the geniuses by the way and they say, stu, it took a week to confirm a speaker, that's embarrassing. no, embarrassing is that we didn't put other leadership positions through this level of scrutiny through 100 years in my book. embarrassing is the inflation rate is at a 40-year high and embarrassing is the border is open and the crime rates. remember new york city where we live, there was famous walking tours of the architecture and they're now called running tours because you're probably going to get chased. that's the reality and everyone saying the republicans are bad. i was going to take my family to san francisco this summer. we decided to go some place safer like beirut because that's what the democrats have done to their cities. republicans can take their time and get the right guy. stuart: did you write this in advance? >> no, stu. stuart: or just come up with the riffs one after another?

>> this is my process. artist to artist, jokes are jokes and just living many my head somewhere. data is on this piece of paper. i can read you data about climate change and things i want to make points where but when you talk to me, you make me want to laugh. that's all. stuart: it's me that does it? >> it's always like a nervous energy because you don't want to embarrass yourself intellectually in front of simonetti. she has a degree and stuff and my only degree is on a thermometer. stuart: she went to columbia. >> i get it. i drove a lot of people there in my cab, don't get me wrong. drop add few off. i went to columbia more than you but just never set foot on the campus. stuart: that was good. if you're not careful, you'll be back. >> there it is. i love it. stuart: i'm going to turn and get serious all of a sudden if that's entirely possible and i'll talk about the markets. yeah, there's some modest, modest gains for the dow, s&p and the nasdaq. cameron da dawson is our market watcher joining thus morning.

cameron, look across the whole spectrum of the markets and what's the biggest wild card this year you think? >> i think it's oil prices because if we continue to see oil prices move higher, that will cause headline inflation to reaccelerate and inflation expectations to reaccelerate and that backs the fed into a corner. it means even if we sa start seg a softening in the economy, inflation remains elevated and won't be able to step in and support markets or the economy. we have to watch energy prices really closely in 2023 because that's the big question mark. stuart: earlier today, fed chair powell said, i'm not directly quoting but said the federal reserve will not be a climate policymaker. i think investors took that as a positive. how do you take it? >> well, this was a meeting about central bank independence and so there wasn't really any

addressing of central bank interest rate policy or fed interest rate policy within this meeting, i don't think that we can really call the all clear on potential hawkish ken polcari tear. look what happened yesterday -- commentary and look at yesterday when they were talking about not wanting to cut interest rates in '23 or '24 and the reason we're seeing central banks push back against markets right now is because financial conditions are now very easy. we've had rallies and stock markets. we've seen credit spreads come in, interest rates have dropped, the dollar has weakened. all that means is that the fed is not comfortable with financial conditions being as easy as they are and we wouldn't be surprised over the next few weeks to really see a step up in that hawkish commentary, similar to what we saw other time financial conditions were this easy back in 2022. stuart: in other words don't jump into the stock market at this particular moment in time. i'm reading between the lines, is that what you're saying?

>> yeah, i think we could have a little bit of a rally here, simply because we saw so much equity selling over the last couple of months of the year. we also have some pretty low expectations going into this earning season, but if we see a rally to that 4,000, 4100 level, this would be a market that would be very expensive, and it would be expensive on valuations even if we haven't marked down earnings estimates that much, and that's where we want to be starting to take some money off the time-based, but we -- table, but we need to prepare ourselves. if we have weakness through the year we want to be buying around that 200 weak moving average, 3500, 3600, it may not be the ultimate low of this cycle. however, it keeps us from selling at the lows, which is really the quickest way to destroy value over the long term. stuart: you've got me really worried.

we have stocks moving well today including amazon. 2.5%. lauren: we'll take it. we have a buy with prime program and they're broadening it and other merchants a few by invitation and all merchants that have a store on shoify down 2.5% and if you're on our site and advertise buy with prime you're off. stuart: down they go. ups, what's that story? they're down. lauren: their margins under pressure for two reasons: less volume and labor contracts coming up that's expensive. they cut their price target. it's still going up about 25% to 227 but they did cut that. stuart: okay. moderna. we've not talked about vaccines for a long time, but i see moderna now up a strong solid

2.3%. lauren: bernie sanders bernie sanders sent a letter to moderna saying, look, don't increase the price too much when the covid vaccine hits the commercial market. there's rep reports that they'll charge about $120. the government pays $27. he says if you want to vaccinate people and you're asking the private market to pay that much money, not a good look. it would bring in a lot of money for moderna, which is why the stock is up. the company has not answered bernie sanders' letter. stuart: that's why it's up, thanks. gen z folks think they've cracked the code to a successful life. there's a new social media trend that promising to give people everything they ever wanted without ever really working for it. something for nothing. forgot running around the backyard. one medical group is pushing weight loss surgery to fight childhood obesity. critics outraged, we're on it. one hospital in arizona said migrants racked up $20 million worth of unpaid medical bills.

stuart: hospitals in small towns along the border are struggling to keep up with the influx of migrants. kelly o'grady is with us outside a hospital in yuma, arizona. how much money in unpaid medical bills for migrant care are they stuck with? reporter: over $20 million, stuart. that really puts into context how big of an impact the border crisis is having on these area businesses. yuma, of course, it's a hot spot

for illegal crossings and that strain is on top of the current challenges the hospital is facing like rsv and flu season. forreference, the hospital in yuma is the only one in 180 smile that $20 million figure is for six months from december of 2021 to may of 2022 and doesn't even cover the second half of last year and i spoke to the ceo and he said it's looking more like $40 million at the moment and the treatment ranges from injuries sustained during the trip to the boarder and chronics that have gone untreated and the hospital provides the same type of care regardless of payer status and the facility operating on 2 to 3% margin these unpaid bills may become unsustainable and one major challenge we're learn asking pregnancy care. the hospital had to create a makeshift motel for mothers without a place to stay while newborns received care and run around to round up car seat to

discharge families and the looming issue; right, yuma seeing ana an average of 1,000 y crossings with the makeshift on tianaer -- container wall taken down and number and strain on the hospital could surge significantly and, stuart, there's no recourse for that $20 million or potential alreadiedly 40 million, that the ceo mentioned and they've talked to federal leaders and their sympathetic, they don't have a solution right now, stuart. stuart: amazing. thank you for joining us. as always, great stuff. kelly, bring in the new chair of house homeland committee, mark green, republican from tennessee. congressman, congratulations. that's a fine committee to be chairing. my question is when are you going to have secretary mayorkas testify and when are you going to impeach him? >> very soon. what we're going to do, we've got a five phase plan to basically go after the various issues of the failure at the southern border and you mentioned one of those phases,

the price tag, the dollar price tag of what an open border is to america. uncompensated healthcare is one of those costs, and i was at that hospital in yuma, arizona, myself meeting with the ceo. $20 million, going to go to $40 million and that's happening all across the boarder and all across the country. it's not just uncompensated healthcare. look at -- i talked to sheriffs, the increased costs of incarceration, they're not being reimbursed for that, and it's just a huge cost to the american taxpayer. stuart: yeah, ultimately the taxpayer will be the one that pays. >> that's right. stuart: i don't see any way around that. it would be nice if you could get money out of the cartels or open border crowd, but you can't. it's going to come out of our pockets, isn't it? >> that's exactly right. when you think about the cost shifting happening to cover that hospital and that hospital to stay in business and it'll raise the rates for insurers and the insurance goes up and the

doctors and all about the that uncompensated care because we have an open border and the president doesn't care. stuart: is defunding the irs the republican's top priority in the house at this moment? >> it's a statement, you know, we had an easy bill, a chip shot, and honestly, who wants 87,000 irs agents and $80 billion spent to have them picking through small businesses? you think about the cost to a small company and you know this, stuart, your listeners know this, it costs them to defend and go do the work to prepare for the audit, just add that to the cost of bread and add to cost of butter too, it's just going to have a trickle-down effect on our economy. it's a bad idea, and it was an easy chip shot for us to knock out of the park right away. stuart: unfortunately, when it gets to the senate, they'll kill it and resurrect the irs, won't they? >> that's exactly right. the senate is being run by the democrats unfortunately and they want this. they want to go dig every penny out of small business. stuart: congressman, we wish you

well with the hearings on the border. our own bill melugin has been leading the charge with reporting on the border and glad to see everyone in washington following through. congressman mark green, thank you for joining us, sir. back to the markets real fast, the dow is up 57, nasdaq's up 2. keep saying it but it's true, not that much price movement today. so far. the fda has just named sesame the ninth major allergen in the country. this will require a clear labeling of sesame in food items. ashley, sesame is in so many foods, how are major brands responding to this? >> that's a very good question. whether it's sesame seeds on a baseball or sesame flour in baked goods, it's in so many foods and allergists say it can be life threatening to some. congress added sesame to the fda's list of major food

allergens in april 2021 but didn't take effect till january 1 this year and gave food brands and manufacturers nearly two years to comply with the clear labeling and changes to the manufacturing process, but regulators claim that some major food brands such as wendy's, olive garden, and chik-fil-a added more sesame to their menu items explicitly labeling the ingredient instead of changing their food product. authorities call that a economic shortcut that provides a work around to the new rules. they're still trying to figure it all out. sesame, more than 1.6 million people with that allergy in the united states. stuart: really, okay. the american academy of pediatrics under fire for their new guidelines about how to combat childhood obesity. are they recommending surgery for youngkin, ash -- young children, ash? >> they are. among the possible solutions listed are screening counseling,

medical managed weight loss, pharmaceutical treatment and surgery. the american academy of pediatrics are sensorineural leasing on part of treating obesity on childhood and there's been strong pushback and many critics questioning medication and surgery as solutions and asking what happened to exercise and diet. others said instead of pushing pills, how about making the food supply less processed and more natural and by the way, the guidelines also have an entire section claiming obesity could be partially based on racism and inequalities in poverty, home ownership and jobs are linked to obesity. stuart: nearly 90% of the people in one of china's most populous regions are inif he canned with covid, that's 88 -- infected with covid, that's 88 million people. we have the latest on china's covid surge coming up for you. in a few moments, president

retaliation for new covid testing requirements for chaltravelers from china. we have reports that 90% of the people in the province have covid, that's 88 million people. is this going to shut down china's whole economy? >> it's astounding numbers, stuart. that's the third largest province and it has the ability of creating a huge impact on the chinese economy and global economy and think about the impact on supply chain, this could be a huge problem. in beijing alone, we've seen the hospitals almost foully capacity and o -- fully capacity and it's a very serious problem. stuart: judgment of xi jinping's position and there's real chaos in china and follows three years of lockdown. is he still in full, full control of power?

>> it's zero covid policy and the government implemented and the protests were very successful and resulted in a change of policy by the government and probably the first time in significant period the chinese government faced enough protest to change their policy and seeing the results of that and that being said, it demonstrates people have some amount of power in china and as a result the sicknesses now, which are a direct result of chinese failure to create capable vaccines or using the western vaccines and will cause a problem for the chinese government and their leadership. stuart: his deal was you can be prosperous but we'll keep control of the politics. that deal seems to be breaking down if the economy is not making people prosperous. >> that's exactly right. you know, with this number of people being sick, being hospitalized, it'll cause their factories to slow down, economic challenges there in that country and you're exactly right. that kind of economic challenge can very well result in governmental change, even in an

authoritarian country like china. stuart: we'll get it. more than -- let's talk brazil. 1500 people under arrest following the riots in brazil and protesters cob testing the -- contesting the election results. the current leader of brazil, luna, he wants to prosecute the rioters. my question to you is could balcinaro, just being released from the hospital in florida, could he be extradited to brazil? >> well, you know, it's a good question. there are extradition treaties between countries and i'm not sure whether the u.s. and brazil have an extradition treaty and there's a whole process and will take a long time and more likely than not the protesters will face challenges in the courts there in brazil and another question will be can they indict him from here and can they get him back? that's to be seen. still, what is interesting about

these protests is that they've really taken on a very strong trend and attacks from the court and congress on their presidential power and people are upset with the results and tight election and tightest in three decades and more to be seen on what happens in the developing situation in brazil. stuart: do you think the events here on january 6, two years ago, had any influence, any encould you tell me for what just happened in brazil? >> you know, a lot of people are trying to tie what happened in brazil to january 6. i think there are surface, you know, system lairties but what -- similarities but what happened in brazil was more dramatic and there's histories of governments flipping in brazil. what happened on january 6 was troubling and different from what's happening in brazil and might see a change in power if you continue state of america see this. we'll see what happens over the next few days and weeks. stuart: thank you for jumping in on the last minute on the show.
