11:00 am
jot republican party out in america. get one in dc that doesn't waste your money every day. >> balance the budget, we can't keep spending money like this. we need bills that are
11:01 am
accountable. >> the fed told us they're almost done. we're basically within 70 basis points and call it three quarters of a percent of their target. that's why the market is responding. the market never waits. >> we all know we're getting to 5%. we all know there's going to be two or three more 25-basis point increases. just how long do we sit there? >> inflation goes up faster than it comes down and not going to be poly anna about it and it's a long way away from 2% to get back to target. >> republicans are not going to shut down government. the american people are the ones that's demanding that cut and spending. we have to have fiscal reforms moving forward. we cannot just give an up limited credit card. stuart: jump right in, thursday, january the 12 and 11:00 a.m. on the east coast. the dow is up but the nasdaq and s&p turned south.
11:02 am
big story with big tech all over and meta and microsoft up and amazon, alphabet, apple are down. where's the yield on 10-year treasury? it's moving down to 3.51%. now, hearers the big news in -- here's the big news in politics, the second group of classified documents found at president biden's house in wilmington, delaware. gave a news conference at the economy and walked away taking anymore questions surrounding those documents. ben domenech joins me now. how big of a story is this and what's your judgment? >> i think it's huge, stuart. i think that the president and what he had to say today will do absolutely nothing to silence the objections from people that feel like it's hypocritical act on the part of the president and also they're going to expect that we have the same level of inquiry of the documents we saw
11:03 am
for former president trump. we want to know why they were allowed to be handled in such ways and have clear terms and we've not gotten that from the white house thus far and that'd like to talk about this issue and heard that from journalistss and understand how significant the story is. stuart: sounds like they were hostile questions to president bind. they were shout the at him. >> one of the big things is they're infuriated they look bad because of the way the story played out and they were never informed at the time that these documents were originally discovered, the first trench and dais before the midterm election of what was going on.
11:04 am
stuart: it was cbs that broke the first trench and nbc that broke the second trench of document story and that's intriguing and the broadcast networks have been gung ho for biden ever since he became president. >> absolutely and it's a real significant change because once these media entities latch onto a story like this, that's a sign it'll receive more attention. look, in terms of the way it affects american's lives. you know, the border issue ask obviously a lot more important, but when it comes to something like this, an inside washington story and they understand the way it looks with reporting and kcommentary about former president trump and it makes them look hypocritical if they don't bring the same level of seriousness in going after this story. stuart: ben, get to this story and i'll get to the immigration story but first of all, i want to play this. row nyc is a big hotel near time square. all of the 1,300 rooms are
11:05 am
filled with migrants. what's it like inside? well, a whistle blower has emerged and taken pictures of bag withs sandwiches and baseballs and the -- bagels and other foods that the migrants don't like and fresh after fresh bag of food throne in the trash every day and a whistle blower works there and fity rooms -- filthy rooms, drunk parties, wild taking and sexual harassment. 26,100 migrants housed in over 70 new york hotels and the post-estimates the coast between 300 and $500 million a year in one city. this is the cost of biden's open border. and there's a double standard here too. migrants get housing, food, medical attention, even a plane ticket. the rest of us don't get all of that but we are paying for it. look, i'm not hostile to migrants but what's infuriating is that democrats refusal to take any responsibility for what they're doing and won't even admit the border is open.
11:06 am
what's the plan for the 2 million+ illegals who have come here since biden was president? he invited them in. a quarter mile from where i'm sitting right now, you can see the results of biden's open border. fighting in the street, hotels trashed, and an as notary public cal bill for tax -- astronomical bill for taxpayers and one row worker spoke out on "fox & friends" this morning. listen to this. >> this is a migrant hotel. this is -- we don't have any guests anymore. unfortunately the government didn't bring the right people to come into the program and said just send anymore. we got people who are -- anybody so we got people that are getting drunk, using marijuana, they are punching and beating wives or girlfriends and teenagers running around wild around the hotel. opening the fire exit doors.
11:07 am
stuart: ben domenech, come back in please. strikes me this is a disaster for america's cities. >> it's absolutely disaster, stuart, and it's not something we should tolerate. we're paying for all this. you know, the level of destruction and violence that we're seeing, the level of sort of low-level crime that leads to high level crime that creeps out from the center of american cities into the lives of law-abiding men and women, citizens of this country is really up who rent and allowed the left to get away without the ramifications of their own policies and embraced the sanctuary city and say they'll open up their arms and increase all the different welfare programs to take care of everyone's needs but that's not the point of these programs. the point of the programs is to take care of law-abiding american citizens. that's what they're for and that's who pays for them. one of the things we have to address here is that this level of leftist hypocrisy can't be
11:08 am
tolerated any longer and they have to respond to this and own the consequences of their own actions and policy choices. stuart: yes, sir, they should own the policy choices and actions. good stuff, ben domenech today. back to the markets, green on the dow industrials and nasdaq and s&p are down. gentlemen on the right hand side of the screen is gary. what's your reaction to the cpi report this morning? what will the fed do about it? >> we thought that in july the inflation peaked and just a matter of how good it gets and it's still way up there. it's positive the direction is better and i think it gives the fed cover, but i've been saying every day, just watch the 10-year yield and if it stays down or goes lower, that's good news and we've gone from 4.3% down to 3.5. that is good news for mortgages and good news for the economy and hopefully it continues on
11:09 am
its way to the downside. stuart: i'll call it a rally. not much of a rally at the moment but does it have any legs at all? >> i actually think, yeah. on the weekend i sent yourself and everybody else a note that i thought last friday we put another low end in the market after a brutal december, and i must tell you, stuart, advanced declines on a daily basis have been fantastic all week long. that tells me the bottom of the market, the worst areas have come off the floor and that should help. the one area i'm still bearish on is nasdaq. nasdaq 100 tectologies and it just -- technologies and continues to woefully underperform and eventually they'll wake up again but as of right now, just seeing it happen and i'd be underweight right there. stuart: which area of the market would you put money into right now? >> believe it or not, boring stuff. i keep getting asked about recessions and deep recessions s and caterpillar at all-time high
11:10 am
and footsy and i'm looking at boring stuffs and airlines that have come up really strong recently and retailers like dick's sporting goods and academy sports and things like that. i'm back on the oils and oil prices are ticking up and few names like halliburton and tide water entering new high ground and entering good significant strength. stuart: have you noticed the european markets are exploding and doing better than ours? >> stuart, three months ago, they left the united kingdom for dead. all we kept reading about was inflation and all kinds of trouble and it's at new yearly highs. they're up and it's simple because i hate using currencies but the dollar has stopped going up and it's coming down and their currency has been going much and it's a boom to their market and so far so good and
11:11 am
it's been persistent. it's the uk and germany and asia with china opening up and how long it lasts or how far it goes, i don't know. in realtime, it's still in pretty darn good shape and as long as they stay in shape, we can go a bit higher. we're actually the lagging country at the moment in the markets. stuart: used to be the leader in the markets and now a bit of a laggard. >> we'll lead again. we'll lead again, i can promise you that. stuart: i like that promise, gary kaltbaum, see you later. lauren: upgrade at credit sweiss and credit price target from 121 to 2 200 and clearly it's above there now. china reopening and big theme for many companies and multinationals and jet deliveries have been pretty strong. stuart: anything on tesla? lauren: elon musk has a china problem and told you about the angry chinese tesla customers went into the showrooms and demanded money back because of
11:12 am
the price cuts and now bloomburg is reporting that tesla was trying to expand a tesla factory, the factory in shanghai but they have not been able to do that because of beijing's concerns of elon musk's other companies. his space company -- stuart: star link. that gives to the ukrainians. lauren: what's the connection? you don't have that technology in the cars that tesla sells in china, but it just shows this frosty relationship between the u.s. and beijing that is affecting one of mussing's companies. stuart: that's interesting. next case ask lucid. they're up, not bad. lauren: fourth quarter production numbers were solid and brings total number to over 7,000 for the year, and that met their goal and they're being rewarded. stuart: let's tell viewers what's coming up on the show. actor ryan reynolds could make money off the budget phone company, mint mobile.

which major carrier might buy them out. united nations thinks the president's new border policies are too harsh and say the white house is undermining human rights by limiting people's ability to claim asylum here. we'll see what tom homan says about that. the white house is not in favor on ban of gas stoves but the governor of new york is all for it. this could be the start, i think somebody started, the war on natural gas. senator bill cassidy from louisiana takes that on, next. ♪

11:18 am
the stuart: speaker mccarthy said congress has to investigate the documents found at president biden's home in delaware. he wants a level legal playing field and make ago big deal out of where the document haves been kept and why they've been kept there for so long and what's in them. we'll bring you anymore headlines as they come along, but this is a significant political development. another one. one state is considering knicksing its income tax. i'm all ears. where are we talking about, ash? ashley: mississippi, stu. republican governor there, tate reeves, is working towards the complete elimination of the income tax in his state saying if he is reelected this year, there is a path to do so.
11:19 am
reefers already signed into law the largest income tax cut and joining nine other states that have no income tax as all. such a move would make mississippi more competitive economically, especially with states like texas, florida, and tennessee. by the way, the state's primary election is scheduled for august the 8. general election set for november 7. i'd say that's a pretty good campaign pitch, would you not? stuart: yes, i would say that. all right. the white house says the president does not support any ban on gas stoves. watch this. >> the president does not support banning gas stoves and the consumer product safety commission, which is independent, is not banning gas stoves. just want to be very clear on that. again, that's not something that we can make from here about the safety of a gas stove, that's not something that the white house can provide. stuart: senator bill cassidy, republican from the great state
11:20 am
of louisiana joining me now. mr. cassidy, the governor of new york, kathy hochul, wants to ban gas st stoves and heating equipt in a couple of years. is this a war on natural gas? >> it's a war on natural gas and on the consumer. new york pays 9 to 10% more for electricity costs already and the governor of new york wonders why people leave new york. as soon as they retire, they're on social, may move to a state with lower cost of living because of the high cost of living in new york. she's about to make that 9% even higher. it's bad for consumers and a way to medal in their -- meddle in their lives and accomplishing almost nothing. stuart: they want us to convert to electric stoves and electric heating. where is all the extra electricity going to come from? >> well, i think new york is thinking it's going to come from offshore wind, but the cost basis of offshore wind is far more expensive than that which would come from your nuclear --
11:21 am
your natural gas-powered plant. so they're going to replace the energy from natural gas with much more expensive offshore wind, it's going to drive up their cost even more than they're 9% higher now, and people living in new york will once more wonder why they are. stuart: mr. senator, we've heard about the second trench of classified documents found at president biden's house in wilmington, delaware. the president gave a press conference on the economy and walked away from questions surrounding the documents. is this a big political storm or a tempus teapot? >> it's a big political storm. what's good for goose is good for gander. we've got a lousy system for nt
11:22 am
making sure folks don't cart away classified documents. frankly the vice president or now the president, president biden, is kind of one more example of how things could be a heck of a lot better if you paid a bit more attention. stuart: we just don't know what had access to these documents or what's in the documents. or what soucts they deal with. we need to -- subjects they deal with and we need to know it all to assess the importance of t surely. >> if it's a big deal for former president trump to have these, and i think it was, it's a really big deal for former vice president biden to have these as well. it needs to be equally investigated. not only is it important for national security, it's also important for a sense of fair play. stuart: mr. senator, thanks very much for joining us on such short notice about a developing story but it's always appreciated. thank you, sir. >> thanks, stu. stuart: to the markets. can't leave them alone, all over the place this morning. we have a favorable -- i call it
11:23 am
favorable inflation report at 8:30 and market went up, market went down, where are we now? mixed picture and nasdaq down 9 and s&p up a fraction. now this -- i'm not sure people know this but actor ryan reynolds owns a budget friendly phone company called mint mobile. ashley, is there a major cell carrier that wants to buy them out? ashley: yes, there are reports that claim t-mobile u.s. has been in talks with mint mobile but no final decisions are being made and mint could opt to remain independent or sell to another party but, yes, mint mobile is the budget wireless provider backed by actor ryan reynolds that owns about a fourth of the company, 25% and is his main pitch manager you can see from this commercial. it offers budget cell phone plans on the t-mobile network starting at $15 per month and last notable sell in the prepay brand was tracfone, which
11:24 am
verizon bought in 2021 for $6 billion. ryan reynolds is an astute businessman. stuart: yes, he is. subway, sandwich people, they could be on sale. how much do they want for them? ashley: could go for more than 10 billion and any potential sale of privately held company is in a very early stages and may not happen at all, but subway has been a long-time potential target for private equity firms as well as other corporations and it's gone through a difficult period in which it experienced management upheaval, criticism from franchisees and declining sale but growth and digital sales bolstered results and this is a company based in connecticut. it's one of the world's largest quick service restaurant chains. it's got about 37,000 locations in more than 100 countries. i did not know that. it's a very big, big footprint around the world. stu.
11:25 am
stuart: genuine giant, ash. thank you. as it turns out, president biden is not against all border walls. he's building one for himself at his delaware beach house. we'll tell you all about it. grocery stores in new york city locked up razor blades and batteries and might need to lock up food. john catsimatidis owns a chain of grocery stores in manhattan and already has security guards. are bock boxes next -- lock boxes next for him? i'll ask him after this. ♪

stuart: the nasdaq down 13 and favorable inflation report early this morning and market behaving e radically. put it like that. erratically. madison allworth with me on the groceries. >> they want reper cautions for those that come in and repeatedly steal. it's a slap on the wrist right
11:30 am
now. we're seeing the same people hit different stores and thousands of grocers in new york teamed up and created collective action to protect our stores. so they're demanding that officials and law enforcement really crack down on this crime. crime like the one you're seeing here and this shopless person is refusing to return items he stole and he at one point takes out a knife and like i said at the top, the big problem is the same people hitting these different stores always stealing less than $1,000 in order to not have a felony. so take a look, in 2022, there were 22,000 shoplifting arrests and 327 people account for 30% of those arrests. the same folks hitting the same stores and of the 327, 235 of those individuals are back on the streets. they're arrested and released. a grocery store owner tells us this crime is ma making it near near impossible to operate from a financial and personnel standpoint. >> catch and release has been
11:31 am
the worst thing introduced to this city and that's why we have this problem now because we have career criminals not afraid to come and shoplift and get caught and they'll get a slap on the hand and come back and do it the next day. >> one thing in particular this group is pushing for is attacking an employee would be a class d felony. that's the same protection given to mta or public transportation here in new york. argument being a grocery store especially like in the bronx where i was this morning, if that disappears, that community doesn't have access to fear food and meat. it's gone and they're hurting that community right there. stuart: madison, thank you very much indeed. look who's here now. john catsimatidis and he's joining me and runs the gristidis grocery store chain in new york city. john, welcome back. you've hired security guards to help out in your stores. would you consider locking up food? i understand that some grocers are considering going that far? >> one of my managers sent a
11:32 am
picture of a dwayne reid story story -- store and they're looking up cookies. we're not going to lock up i teems but we've hired extra security. it's helped and when you hire guys that are 6'6, some people leave. stuart: yeah. but it had been a serious problem. >> it is a serious problem in new york, and i was with mayor adams last week and had him on my radio show, and he recognizes it's a serious problem. he was a cop at one time and he knows that. the problem is albany. the state senate and state assembly don't give a dam. they don't give a damn and, you know, 784 corporate stores have closed in the five boroughs. in new york city and manhattan, 27 rite-aid stores have closed. they're champion that close for
11:33 am
sure -- going to close for sure in black and brown neighborhoods. who's going to get hurt? i've said to the da in manhattan. i said the people in the black and brown neighborhoods are getting hurt. the price increases are hurting the poor and the middle class. it's not -- the rich don't care, but it's hurting the middle class for sure. the gasoline prices are going back down again, which is very important. core inflation has gone down, and i've called on a press release i put out this morning, i called upon jay powell, don't you dare, don't you dare raise interest rates more than a quarter point because you're going to destroy the rest of the country. we don't want to destroy the rest of the country to fix one problem. stuart: we've got the cpi, consumer price index report this morning and inflation is moderating month to month and went down. are you seeing grocery price
11:34 am
inflation moderate or come down? >> right now, they're still going up. but if nothing happens in the oil market, then in the next 90 days, the prices of food will start going down. you'll be able to afford oreo cookies again. stuart: what's the relationship between the price of oil and grocery store prices? >> it's diesel fuel that runs all our factories. it's diesel fuel that delivers the trucks to the stores nationwide. it is oil directly related -- it's fertilizer that's made from crude oil that -- so oil, crude price of oil and when president biden closed down the pipeline and we forced and made fossil fuels the enemy of the people, it forced the price to go from
11:35 am
$55 a barrel to $125. now it's been retreating. it's retreated to 75. i've predict it had could retreat as low as 65. seconds to play it goes down to -- if it goes down to 65, what we have to open up, if we opened up the spigots in america, it'd be down. stuart: biden won't. biden won't. >> he won't do it. stuart: no. >> i can't -- no american believes he'd rather beg venezuela, rather beg saudi arabia than open up america. i can't believe it. stuart: i have to wind you up every time you're on the show, you start slow and end up with a tyrant of a rant. >> i feel that way. i love america. i'm an immigrant. you're an immigrant. we love america. stuart: yes, we do. what do you think of cathy hock -- kathy hochul, the governor of new york getting rid of gas stoves and gas heating equipment in three years time? >> everybody i talk to hates electric stroves and what happens if the power goes out? you won't have a car, you won't

stuart: flight delays piling up as the rare lines try to recover from yesterday's big outage. ashley, do we know what happened
11:42 am
yesterday or not? ashley: yeah, the faa is blame ago damage data base file in that computer system outage through the shut down of domestic departures and thousands of flights delays or canceled throughout the day and that system that shut down provides pilots with realtime information and once a problem was detected it was decided i know what to do. let's do a reboot. problem is it took a lot longer than expected from around 7:30 a.m. eastern to just before 9:00 a.m.. the faa says there's no evidence yet of any cyber attack and that an ongoing investigation is still trying to pinpoint the exact cause so it won't happen again. at least that's the theory. stu. stuart: got it, thanks, ashley. pete buttigieg says the feds are not ruling out nefarious activity in the outage. roll tape. >> we're not prepared to rule that out. there hasn't been any indication
11:43 am
of that fbi has spoken to this and of course faa is looking closely at that as well as they work to see what was going on inside the files in this system leading to this irregularity. i will say there was no direct indication of external or nefarious activity but we're not yet prepared to rule that out. stuart: congressman berry laddermilk joining me. you're a pilot and you know this story. any idea what it will take to fix this problem? >> first of all, stuart, you got to find out what happened. not only am i a private pilot, i also have an it background so the two are kind of going together. if you have a corrupt data base, a reboot sometimes will fix it but if it's corrupt, that won't fix it. that's why you have a redundant system, not just a backup system but when it's a mission critical system, you have a redundant system. a system that is identical to
11:44 am
your primary so when you have to reboot, you kick in your redundant system and i'm understanding that their backup system failed as well. there's a problem of management here. now, if this happened when i was in the air force, that commander would have already expected to have issued his resignation because of a failure to complete the mission. then we find out this notice to airman, which i alied on as a -- relied on as a pilot and name it had notice to air missions out of sensitivity. if you're spending that much time with your poke agenda -- woke agenda and not focusing on the safety or security of the pilots. stuart: the other big story of the moment broke about an hour ago and the second trench of secret documents found in biden's home in wilmington, delaware. i need your judgment on this, congressman. how big a story is this? >> well, stuart, let's see when
11:45 am
the fbi raids his home and looks for other documents and then we'll see how big of a story it is. where is the fbi? why are they not raiding the facility? when they went to mar-a-lago, they knew trump had it and already told him put it under lock and key and he put a padlock on the room. he actually had authority to declassify documents. the vice president doesn't. why is this not as big of an issue as they're making out of mar-a-lago? stuart: the other question is, who had access, who could have looked at these papers? they were in his garage sitting next to his corvette i believe. i mean, hunter biden could have had access to them surely. >> when i was in the air force, i was in intelligence. i would already be in handcuffs at this point if you found any classified document of any classification even if confidential in my private home and i would have been escorted to a brig and prosecuted and pushed out of the air force. why is not this man held to the same accountability?
11:46 am
how long have those documents been packed in a box in his garage? stuart: it's a republican house of representatives, you going to investigate? >> i'm sure we are. that's one of the things that i've been talking with the speaker about and there's so many things that we need to look into on behalf of the american people. we have got to root out any corruption that exists in this -- in our departments, in our agencies, especially those that are of a partisan nature. everyone should be held accountable. we're all under the same constitution and we're all under the same laws but today's environment, there's two different sets of laws. those for the elitist and the rest of the americans. stuart: it's a big day in politics and thank you for taking time out of a very busy day. congressman loudeermilk, thank you, sir. there's more buyers than sellers and more winners than losers and the dow is up 155 points at this

all men from mexico. one air lifted to the hospital. his condition unknown but this story that is really struck me in the last few days, stuart, is the fact that the president went to the border for three hours in el paso and didn't see a single migrant. we can show you some footage we shot of large group today and of course the migrants that came in the rail cara not the ones -- car are not the ones coming and surrendering and the ones surrendering up here behind me every day since i've been here all day long are apart of this crisis. it's absolutely surging right now, but what we're seeing is a trend that's worrying the local leaders, stuart, is the criminal migrants coming across. we can show you border patrol posting in just the past 48 hours, you've had two child sex offenders, two adult sex offenders, two gang members and two firearms seized. we went up to kenny county where the smuggling it off the charts,

about 50 miles from the border where i am here and the sheriff said seizing firearms is far too common. listen. >> every stop we make anymore seems like it's got a firearm. pretty much mandated they're wearing their vest at all times just in case. we've seen ak-47s, we've seized ar platforms, couple of shotguns so the weapons are out there. fortunately they haven't been used against us yet, but it's just a matter of time. reporter: the sheriff tells me, stuart, that in just that little county, he's had more than 20,000 got aways in the past 100 days. that's why it's so alarming. here in eagle pass proper, i just sat down moments ago with the police chief, the local little police department here in eagle pass, and he says he's seeing the same surge in criminal migrants and worried because he's seeing a rise in fentanyl being seized as well

sovereignty as a nation. ronald reagan was nay mouse, you're not a nation if you don't have a border. we have a right to defend our borders and united nations are complicit and should be investigated in my opinion. stuart: did you see the reports earlier on the program about migrants staying $26,000 of them staying in new york city hotels and trashing the ho hotels and e cost per year is estimated at between 300 sports grill $50 million. tom, that's not sustainable but here they come. stu>> it's not sustainable but that's one incident. we have hospital withs millions of illegal aliens going and giving birth and when they give birth, that child is a u.s. citizen and owed millions of dollars. the hospitals in border towns, the border patrol is releasing all these people and in border patrol custody and taken to a hospital, the border has to pay that bill. if they're released and go to the hospital, the taxpayers are fronting that bill and the hospitals try to absorb some of
