>> we're in charge of the house now, and we're saying that money needs to stop if you want to have increase in the debt ceiling. stuart: do the republicans have the unity and the strength to force a cut in spending? >> they do, if they're unified. i think the message for earnings this quarter will be like the message from last quarter. they are better than feared and

some companies are actually doing quite well. i think tesla is an example of that. >> we are batting nine-for-nine in how many times the market is up for the whole year. seasonality is with us. i think the good gdp number this morning, the surprising gdp number, is helpful and i think all of those things are coming together to a really volatile but up year. ♪ it's always a good time ♪ stuart: no comment on the music, but that is new york city. that is an ugly building on the left-hand side of your screen, sorry, but it is. 11:00 eastern time. here we go. check those markets. the dow has slipped to the downside. now we're up 100 points. nasdaq holding on to a 39 point gain. big tech well let's have a look at them. i'll go down the list. we've got meta up nearly 2%, microsoft up over a buck nearly

$2 higher, apple has reached 142 , alphabet is up one-third of 1% and so is amazon. green for big tech. the 10-year treasury yield right at 3.50%, 3.5% is the markets now this. the biden administration wanted to be known as the most accessible ever transparency was their mantra. hasn't turned out that way. the white house is stonewalling over the documents and it looks real bad. at the daily press briefings, ka rine jean-pierre is under siege. she's been sent out to face questions for which she has no answers. the longer the silence, the more it looks like some kind of cover -up and as we know from past scandals it is the cover-up that gets you. watergate? where is the accessibility? jean-pierre suggested reporters, you can shout your questions at the president. well, that's a far cry from president trump who would answer

any and all questions. he enjoyed working whenever he left the white house, and transparency? on the documents, it's non- existent and senators on both sides of the aisle have had enough. democrat mark warner, republican tom cotton, they're on the intelligence committee. they want to know what's in the documents found at biden's house. they're being blocked. cotton is threatening to shutdown any senate business until they are unblocked. this is all spiraling out of control, and it's the administration's own fault. if biden doesn't come clean, the suspicion will grow that he's hiding something, and that is no way to run the american government. third hour of "varney" starts right now. lisa booth joins us this thursday morning. >> hi, stuart. stuart: good to see you again. welcome back. do you suspect a cover up here? >> well, absolutely.

and look, joe biden does not deserve our trust, he does not deserve it. this is the guy who sat there and lied to the public, stuart. he told us, he told the american people, that he had no knowledge of his son's business dealings, and then it turns out that he is the big guy. that he's getting 10%. he's part of the deal and we actually really knew that because remember this is the guy who flew his son out on air force two when he was the vice president, shook the hands of a business guy in china, helped grease the wheels for hunter then. this is a guy who also got the prosecutor general fired who was investigating the holding in ukraine so he's already abused the office of the vice president sy, so why would we trust him? stuart: just said pose that when we look at the documents and what's in them, there is something there about hunter biden, and business dealings, and the president. that be a political scandal for the ages and it would blow the roof of the administration.

am i right? >> well, yeah, and i think it's fair to suspect that, right? there's already been reports these documents pertain to ukraine, and they also found some of them at least at a chinese think tank, the biden penn center and this is a think tank that received chinese funding to the university of pennsylvania as well, so and we know that china is one of the countries that his family has business dealings with so i think it's fair to suspect that, stuart, but we've already seen the department of justice treat this so differently than they did with president trump. i mean, they sent the fbi to raid the former president trump. they treated joe biden with kid gloves so i really just don't have faith in our justice system in america anymore. it's so uneven, so i just have no faith in our justice system at this current moment. stuart: let's talk about congressman eric swalwell for a moment. he says speaker mccarthy kicked him off the intel committee intending to promote death

threats. watch this. >> this is purely about political vengeance. the cost is not only breaking, shattering the most precious glasswar ex in the cabinet, a committee always bipartisan, but the death threats myself and mr. schiff keep getting because mr. mccarthy continues to aim and project these smears against us, even though we have said publicly, these smears are bringing death threats, he continues to do it which makes us believe there's an intent behind it. stuart: let's go back a little. lisa, can you tell me why eric swalwell was on the intel committee in the first place? >> you know, stuart, that's the question. i mean, you nailed it. that's the question that we should be asking the media. why should he be on the committee in the first place this is a guy, and i think joe biden's compromise by the way with his relationship and his families business dealings with foreign country, but eric swalwell is too. you know, we know that he had a relationship with a suspected chinese spy, so much so that the

fbi then had to brief congressional leaders and kevin mccarthy made a great point, the speaker made a great point the other day and he said look, eric swalwell wouldn't be able to get a security clearance in the private sector. why should the government give him one? stuart: fair question. >> i think that's why, yeah, and instead, you know, eric swalwell is trying to manipulate the media. this is a guy who threatened to nuke gun owners do you remember that? stuart: i do. i do. i just, there's an expression that keeps popping up more and more and more with the document scandal and with what's going on with the documents and that expression is cover-up. i keep on hearing this. i hear it more and more often and until we find out what's in those documents, we won't know if something is being covered up we better find out soon. lisa, i'm sorry to drone on like this at the end of the interview but you were great and we'll see you again real soon. lisa booth everyone. >> thank you, stuart take care. stuart: back to the markets. i want to show you tesla.

earlier this morning it was up about 10 or 11%. now it's up 8.5%. i'm going to call this the stock of the day, maybe the stock of the week. gary kaltbaum with me this morning. gary, does tesla's gain have any significance for the overall market? >> it does, because it was the number one leader of the high beta growth area during the last bull market, so if it gets revved up other things do follow, and nine months, i think it was about nine months ago i was in-studio and i told you it's my favorite company but not my favorite stock because we're in a bear market and bear markets, the high beta growth names will get crushed and it has. it's rallying up here. i'm not sure the worst is over, but if they continue with their good earnings and revenue growth , i'll be back in sooner rather than later. i do not own it as of this second. stuart: okay it is january 26. i would characterize the start of the year in stocks as fairly

positive thus far. do you think that positive momentum can keep going for the rest of the year, gary? >> well, i think for many areas its been excellent the beginning of the year especially like china names. i'm not so sure it goes for the whole year. i know there's a lot of people saying it's going to be a great year. i'm not so sure it's going to be that easy. a couple of reasons that are standing out for me, number one, earnings are not great. a lot of company stocks are going up with earnings being down. if they don't grow those earnings again, those means valuations are higher and then trouble. the other part of the equation is the fed is that they've raised rates and that doesn't usually get into the system for a few months down the road and that's still out there, and then you have the administration and all i can tell you is every move they are making is going to crush the economy ultimately. massive , massive growth of government and massive growth of deficits even though the president keeps coming out telling us how much he's lowered

the deficit, can you know is all covid. that's going to get into the system also, and that's something to be aware of so again i don't think it's that easy. i'm hoping for an up year. i think there will be opportunity and a lot of areas are out of the bear market but again, i think that there's still some headwinds as we move forward. stuart: i was encouraged by microsoft which went straight up when the earnings were announced and straight down after the call was made, and then it recovered. that's a fairly bullish sign, isn't it? >> well, one of the things we watch in the market is bad opens and good closes. if you get a lot of those that tells you about the big institutions that they are defending price and if we see a lot of that, that'll tell us about the market so that was good to see and microsoft is 11.7% of the nasdaq 100, so quite meaningful. even more then apple at this juncture and that hasn't happened in a while so yeah, that's important. hopefully it continues but with

microsoft, another one about the earnings. they were down 6%, revenues only up 2%. if they can't reaccelerate it, it's going to be an average stock as we move forward. the good news is, they've been able to reaccelerate after some bad quarters, so something to watch out for. stock is still pretty much dormant but we watch it every minute of everyday. stuart: and so do i. gary kaltbaum always good. thank you, gary. see you again soon. some stocks are moving, one of themes moving down that's mastercard. the story, please? lauren: sign of the times, consumer spending is slowing and mastercard says for this quarter their revenue for growth forecast is going to fall short of what they previously said and what wall street expects. stuart: how about mccormick, the spice people if i'm not mistaking way down 5%. lauren: another story weak forecast, this one for the year. they are blaming china, supply chain, russia, they left, and india, low margins. shares now three-month low. stuart: buzzfeed up or down? lauren: up, big.

the stocks at $1 but it's up 33% on very heavy volume. the journal is reporting of a multi million dollar deal with meta. meta paying buzzfeed which is a digital media company to bring creators, content creators to meta's facebook and instagram. tom hayes, i talk to him all the time had the best quote of the story. he says this is a case of meta throwing buzzfeed a bottle of water in the middle of the desert, so that's why the stock is worth a buck. stuart: a good one i like that. listen to this one. jane fonda made a shocking claim about the origins of climate change. roll tape. >> everything is connected. there have been no climate crisis if it wasn't for racism. stuart: okay, we're going to have to let her explain that one , because we're going to play you the full clip. astonishing. morgan stanley finding some of its own bankers more than $1 million each all because they used personal messaging services we're on that.

(upbeat music) stuart: fox news is tracking the journey of a venezuelan migrant who crossed the border into texas last year. matt finn has the story for us. matt, where is he now, and what's he doing? reporter: well, stu, he's actually in new york city right now. everyday, or just about

everyday, we show you the hundreds if not thousands of migrants that cross here into the united states. many of them seeking asylum, and we often wondered what happens to those migrants, where do we end up? we've been tracking this individual migrant. we had no idea how his story would turn out and here is the latest chapter in his journey into the united states. we first met 23-year-old venezuelan migrant brian andreas last summer when he crossed the border. today brian is staying at this shelter in brooklyn awaiting his court date in august. >> for the past three days i've been going out looking for work. i haven't been able to find any. they asked me for a work permit and all i have is an id from my country and the asylum claim paperwork. reporter: after brian arrived in texas last year, we connected with him in chester, pennsylvania, just outside of philadelphia. brian tells us he could not find consistent work there, and he was evicted because he could not pay rent. >> it is very difficult.

i hold back my tears and there's people that judge you for just being an immigrant. reporter: brian says the government gave him a cell phone to track him but after a few months, he was asked to give it back. i.c.e. tells us there are scenarios when electronic monitoring is ended after a couple months based on factors such as criminal history and compliance. >> it's very difficult being away from family and missing the people that you love. i feel that i could do more for my family here then back in my country. reporter: now, brian tells us he did pay a coyote to get into the united states and we know that unfortunately, those coyote s often work for or enrich the very dangerous cartels. also, brian tells us that he is aware of migrants who are waiting in mexico right now for their turn to get into the united states and worth pointing out that obviously, brian appears to be someone who is looking for a job, to build a better life, but texas dps tells fox news there are hundreds and hundreds of thousands of known

gotaways, the people who do not surrender to authorities, and they are a major threat to this country. stu? stuart: all right, we've got it thanks very much indeed, matt. now this , arrests of cuban, haitian, and venezuelan migrants has plummeted. it's down 97% from december. that's because in january mexico began accepting migrants, expelled under title 42. the president of the national border patrol council is brandon judd. he joins me now. looks like title 42 works, brandon. >> it does work. it does work as long as we're exercising it completely with every single country that we face. once we start exercising it, we see those populations drop down. the problem is is the cartels, they react and then they go out and they advertise their services to other countries and they get other people across the borders illegally from other countries and that's the problem with title 42. you must exercise it across-the-board with every single country and that's what president trump did and that's

why it was so successful. this administration selectively exercises title 42 so the cartel s are able to enrich themselves by just going out getting into the population. when the white house takes a victory lap saying look at what we're doing with cubans, haitian s, you know the other countries, what you then have to look at is compare the numbers to last year, and we're only a tick under our apprehension from last year when we set an all-time record. we're greater than 2021 when we also set a record, so this is not working, because we're selectively enforcing title 42. its got to be across-the-board. stuart: as you know, brandon, 20 republican states are suing the administration over the migrant parole program. do you expect any actual change from this , fewer people coming across? what do you think? >> no. we're not going to see fewer people come across. again you must compare it to last year's months. you can't compare it to the previous month. you've got to go and you've got to compare apples-to-apples not apples to oranges and that's

what this administration wants to do. that's the smoking mirrors they constantly do. it's the deflection and lying to the american public. facts matter and when you compare facts against similar facts, you'll find that this administration continues to fail. all they're doing is allowing more people to enter the country , what they claim legally that these 20 states are claiming it's illegal and i believe that the supreme court is going to rule in favor of the 20 states, but then you also have to look at the illegal border crossings that we're currently seeing and the populations that these cartels are able to go out and advertise their services to. it's smoking mirrors and it means absolutely nothing. stuart: you're going to tell me the end game here. you and i have spoken countless times about as the flow keeps on going up and up and up. well now the flow is a quarter million a month as it was certainly in december. what's the end game because it doesn't look like we can stop the flow. where are we going with this? >> well the end game for the white house is to appease its base. that's what they are doing. they know darn good and well any

time they pry to put enforcement measures in place their base pushes back really really hard. that's what secretary mayorkas is facing. he has tried to implement programs and policies and then the base pushes back and then the white house doesn't allow them to do it and that's simply because this all comes down to politics. then we also have to look at the gotaways, when the white house takes a victory lap saying look at how many people dropped under title 42 then we look at the gotaways. our gotaways are higher than last month and exponentially higher than 2022. that's the problem we're facing today, again. facts matter and this white house simply does not give everybody the facts. stuart: none of those folks are going back and that's a fact. brandon judd, thank you, sir. see you again real soon. and we've got new york city, the mayor just announced his new plan to house the migrants that come here from the southern border. where is he putting them? lauren: at the brooklyn cruise terminal and they will be there, some, until spring because that's when cruise season starts up in full.

so 40,000 migrants came here to new york city from the southern border, more than half of them are in our shelter system, completely overcrowded, and some of the hotels want nothing to do with this. he put them up in the tent city in randalls island a few months ago. lots of criticism. this is the next thing he can do i don't know what to say. stuart: hotels which is very expensive, now he's moving into the cruise place. lauren: uh-huh, until spring, so he's just buying time. stuart: he should get money out of the feds for this. lauren: he's trying to. not going to happen. stuart: back to the markets please. i see red ink now on the dow which is down 70, nasdaq still up 40, s&p is up a mere 2 points now this , morgan stanley fining some of its bankers over $1 million each. why? lauren: for conducting official business over personal devices and apps like what's app. so this became really big during the pandemic. everyone was working from home. that's how you were personal

messaging. you're not supposed to do that. the financial times is reporting that some morgan stanley bankers were fined a few thousand dollars others over 1 million depending on your level at the bank, how many times you violated policy, and morgan stanley already paid an sec fine for this of $200 million. they're fed up so now offering training sessions for employees about when it's okay to talk to a client on a personal device on what's app, for instance and when you need to shift that over to official business and what you need to tell the bank about the business you're conducting. i don't want to say on the side but not through official channel s. stuart: just a difficult line to draw. lauren: yup. stuart: let's get to this. a college basketball game comes to a halt over a burger and frie s. we'll show you the moment and uber eats delivery guy. he crashed the game. it's quite a story i'm telling you. loyola university medical school under fire after having race-

story. >> yes. stuart: is she right? >> well we have contacted dozen s of districts across the country to see when did they notify their students about these awards because the national merit organization reaches out to schools in september. we have yet to find another district across the country, red state, blue state, big, small district, that is what happened in northern virginia. stuart: that's deliberate withholding of the results which hurt primarily asian students if i'm not mistaking. >> you are correct, yes, and we also found out just earlier this week that the school has quietly, thomas jefferson, formerly the number one high school in america, has quietly removed honors designations from students transcripts so again penalizing high-achieving hard working students many first generation. stuart: that's a disgrace. thanks, would you stay there i've got another story which you might want to comment on. listen to this one. a math professor at vanderbilt university held a lecture explaining why math is white and patriarchal. lauren: good job. stuart: not bad.

will you make a stab, shall we say, at explaining this? lauren: i've tried. i literally cannot, and neither can this professor. at vanderbilt university whose name is lewis lava he conducts this study and gives a lecture about it to a big fancy conference of mathematicians and he says college math limits learning opportunities for queer and trans students. stuart: what? lauren: and never says how and it's all these big fancy words that you just don't understand not much math. stuart: just say that expression again. what was it? lauren: go ahead. stuart: i can't. i've got to read it. lauren: sisheterosexualpatriarch al. stuart: fortunately nikki stayed over to talk to us. what does it mean? >> so cis means you are born in the body with which you identify lauren: okay. >> heteropatriarchal is pushing forward men over women and at the end of the day, numbers

don't care who you are attracted to or the color of your skin, numbers don't lie. stuart: but nobody understands what this is all about. i can barely pronounce it. >> there you go. they have confused you so then they just tell you what to do and they are trying to rely on the ignorance of both students as well as professors. lauren: so they are going to create different types of math classes in some of our major and best universities to cater to what? >> to the least common denominator? stuart: i'm a bad guy if i say you're an idiot and i don't understand what you're saying. >> in elementary schools where teachers brag about oh, you can see i'm not using pronouns in my math questions so this is, we're trying to use math to advance this radical ideology. stuart: well that was a real eye opening segment if you ask me. thank you very much for staying around, nikki. you made some good sense there, appreciate it. so did you. lauren: i'm so confused. i'm so confused. stuart: hold on a second. now we told you about ai bots. that's chatgpt passing business

box is 90 pounds down 56% from the year before and at its peak, florida was producing 244 million boxes, so the production this year could be close to a 90 year low so let me get immediately to our guest today, glenn beck. glenn? given all of those hurdles you face, how are you making it? is it difficult? >> extremely difficult. never before is set of circumstances to put the industry in this shape have been dealt with. never all come together at one-time so everyone now is just trying to be resourceful and scale down, cut back, maneuver around any obstacles as best they can. ashley: land is very valuable. so many people are moving to florida everyday. if you're an orange grower struggling selling to a developer maybe tempting right? >> it is and for many growers, they may not actually want to do that, but they have no choice,

and whenever the revenue runs out and it's sometime before they can produce another crop, sadly to say that's the only alternative some have. ashley: very quickly, orange prices have gone up because of the scarcity of the fruit. do you think that stays for a while? >> it'll stay for a while. hopefully, florida can rebound in production but that will take some time and right now, a lot of that products coming in from foreign producers which we have no control over. ashley: well glenn, god bless you. he's a fourth generation orange grower with another generation coming up and he wants to pass this on to his kids but to his point, a lot more oranges now in the u.s. market are coming from mexico and brazil because of all of the hurdles the growers here in florida have faced, so it's a difficult story and no easy solution in the short-term, stu. stuart: you've got it. ashley webster in the middle, great stuff. thanks ashley. take a look at this i'll show it to you again because it's kind of weird. an uber eats delivery guy crashes a college basketball

game. listen to how the sports announcers reacted. you've got to watch this. >> check out the bottom right of your screen. food delivery guy on the floor. >> who ordered the burrito? >> wow. how do you even do that? >> i like how the referee is talking to him like how cool do you have to be? who made the order? >> i love this. the ref ordered it. they need to eat too now. stuart: i've never seen anything like that before. it happened at the duchane- loyola chicago game last night. a local newspaper says someone in charge of the video board ordered the food. it's unclear how the guy got on to the court without a ticket. i can't believe he actually got on to the court, twice. lauren: he's a good worker. i'm impressed. it was mcdonald's by the way so whoever ordered the mcdonald's i hope the big mac was worth it. stuart: how did he get in here? lauren: i know. stuart: didn't you know what you were doing wandering on to a

college basketball game? lauren: he could have just messaged on the internal system, hey i left your food here, or meet me. they had to delay the game. stuart: wait for it there's this a robot lawyer gets fired before ever setting foot inside a courtroom. do not pay. now that is a legal services chat bot company, just canceled plans to represent someone in a traffic case. they wanted to use artificial intelligence to coach someone through court, in realtime. the companies founder says they had to back out, after he received threats from multiple state bar associations. they even threatened him with jail time. now you know. show me the dow 30, please. that's got an even split. i'm looking at maybe two-thirds down, one-third up, something like that. the dow itself going nowhere, we're down all of two points as we speak. catholic churches have seen a 300% increase in attacks since may of 2020. more than 100 incidents reported

stuart: actress jane fonda is blaming climate change on racism lauren, you have to spell this out for me. lauren: jane fonda essentially says rich white people are racist because they do everything they can to make sure their own air is clean. listen. >> everything is connected. there have been no climate crisis if it wasn't for racism. >> where would they put the poison and the pollution? they aren't going to put it in bell air. they have got to find some place where poor people or indigenous people or people of color are living, put it there. they can't fight back, and that's why a big part of the climate movement now has to do with climate justice. lauren: i know. she's inspired by greta thunberg she was arrested at a climate change rally back in 2019 and

she's 85 years old and not backing down. stuart: now i'm going to move on is that okay, please? lauren: it's what you expect. stuart: a shocking new report finds there have been nearly 300 attacks on catholic churches since may of 2020. more than 100 of those attacks took place after the supreme court's abortion draft leaked. jonathan morris joins me now. i think, jonathan, this has not much to do with religion. i think it's all about politics. what about you? >> certainly, it's politics is driving it, but what we're see ing here is anger coming at these churches. anger. where does anger come from? you're not angry at something that doesn't stand for something you're angry at something or someone who stands for something, and so that's where religion comes into play here. someone is angry and they say i'm going to go after the very thing that is standing in my way from getting what i want, even if what i want is not good. stuart: very difficult to turn

that around isn't it? >> it is. it is difficult, but you know what? i'm glad that churches still stand for something. let's take a look at britain right now. this year, for the first time ever, over 50% of brits, obviously as you know well, stu, a christian historically christian country, over 50% for the very first time now say we're not christian. we do not consider ourselves christian. that is a massive change and you don't see this type of anger against the churches in britain as much as you do right now in the united states. thank god in the united states of america people are still believers. stuart: well-said. >> and the anger that is coming forth, especially after the over turned over roe v. wade it's directed at something that stands for something. stuart: well-said jonathan. listen to this one. a 76-year-old nun jumps into action to stop a burglary. sister mary janese spotted a

pair of thieves trying to access the roof of a charity center in buffalo, new york so she took their ladder away and threw it on the ground. isn't this great, listen to what she told maria earlier. >> to see that destruction really was breaking my heart and i said i have to do something about it. they don't have a god in their life. they thought they could getaway with it but god has a different plan, when you open that door and you see a ladder that doesn't belong, you know? stuart: the crooks were trying to steal copper pipes. the nun told a local newspaper that she's been praying for these thugs everyday. tough nun, jonathan. you think she's going to see these crooks at confession? >> [laughter] i'm not sure, but you know what? i love the fact that she's out there looks like in the middle of the night, right? she's line nun pajamas knocking down ladders. you know, we have to stand for

something and this sister here is standing for something in a very very strong way and i think it is to our point, how do we change actually culture, stu? you said that's very hard. we have to start in our own families. what are the traditions that we are creating in our families that are connected to our values things that we care most deeply about. those traditions are family traditions is really what's going to make a long term impact on our family's future, and our country's future. stuart: let's start now. jonathan morris, our resident theologian, always good. thanks for being here. god bless. >> thank you. stuart: fox news foreign correspondent benjamin hall makes an emotional return to live tv, nearly a year after he was severely injured covering the war in ukraine. he's telling his story in a new memoire called "saved: a war reporter's mission to make it home." listen to this. >> the fast explosion tore

through pine trees a few feet away and we barely turned to look before the second bomb whistled overhead and landed right next to us and everything went dark. if i had the slightest consciousness, it was a distant sense of shockwaves and the feeling that every part of my body, bones, organs, my soul, had been knocked out of me. i did not exist, except as part of the nothingness. i was all but dead, but then, and probably out of this crippl ing nothingness, a figure came through and i heard a familiar voice as real as anything i'd ever known. daddy. you've got to get out of the car stuart: okay. two of our colleagues were killed in that attack. pierre zakrusky and alexander ka fnova. we think of them often. a very emotional story. we're glad to see ben is doing well and i'm proud to call him my colleague. more "varney" after this.
