was born. free speech there is not only under attack is been stamped on they are arresting people for silent prayer and water being called censorship zones. i never thought i would see this but it is happening. five cities have set up the zones around abortion clinics. to extend the zones throughout england and wales. a few weeks ago a prominent antiabortion campaigner nil in silent prayer outside of the clinic which was actually closed at the time. she was questioned by police, searched, arrested and charged without illegal protest. shortly after that an army veteran was arrested and fought silent prayer. a local town posted the prohibited activities. you cannot sprinkle holy water you can't read scripture or prayer, you can't make appear solid or otherwise which could be considered approval or disapproval of abortion.

you can't do that. birmingham carried a sign saying praying first free speech. you cannot do that. in a censorship zone. he was arrested and charged. the charges were dropped but he was warned don't do it again. the zones were set up to prevent the harassment of women. the idea that silent prayer constitutes harassment is surely taking an extreme view. to be arrested for silent prayer is surely a new low. there are echoes of this in america that oppose woken them in the left of the day you will be accused of killing people or encouraging violence. remember when senator josh hawley asked a professor of a biological male could have a baby, she replied that holly was encouraging violence. what is happening in britain and here is not about abortion. it is about freedom and free speech. third hour of "varney" starcher right now. ♪

>> steve hilton with me this friday morning, can you believe the zones in britain where you're not allowed silent prayer this is the first i've heard of it but it's astonishing to me, how about you? >> it is absolutely astounding and appalling. forgive me if i told the story before it's very appropriate this morning as we discussed before my parents are hungarian. when i was a kid i used to go to hungry, i remember one time as a young kid i was out on the street with my cousins making some jokey remarks about politics and the leaders of the communist leaders and hungry, that night my aunt took me inside and said is very well for you to make those common jokes but actually your cousins could get real trouble because you said that. i could lose my job, she was a teacher if they found out you'd be saying things like that. i always remember that. i was so grateful my parents left communist hungry so i could

grow up in a free country in the uk. now i'm here in america, proud american the place i thought was also a free country. it's unbelievable to me that we are now seeing the censorship of expression in the uk and here in america that i associate with communist hungry. stuart: california state universities are urging nonwhite students to take action to prevent race related stress. they cite examples such as a professor consistently not calling on you were minimizing your contributions. take action, what kind of action is recommended you? >> let's be clear if there is anywhere, any kind of racial discrimination that is terrible. we need to call it out. listen to what else it says i read the whole policy, this is the chilling part. it is important to understand that you can experience race related stress even if you are

mistaken databases act occurred, basis related only require that a person believes that they were the target of racism. what that is a best of license for unjustified paranoia. at worst a license for anyone to destroy someone else's career with false accusations of racism. it's really frightening. >> you don't say anything because you might, anything that you say could be offensive and i have a distinct impression that some people want to be offended they are looking to be offended i feel that way. >> it encourages them this encourages more of that and more racial suspicion and division in our country which is the last thing that we need. >> well said i agree 100% therefore i will be watching you on the next resolution on sunday night 9:00 p.m. eastern only on fox. thank you very much steve hilton. let's check the markets, where are we now the dow industrials

stuart: president biden ended his silence on the chinese spy flight that does not mean questions were answered. jacqui heinrich at the white house. biden said he's going to be speaking with presidency, do we know when that might happen? >> both biden and vice president harris said the spy balloon incident should not likely impact diplomatic relations with china. i remember beijing is not taking

her calls right now at least at the highest levels. were also involved in a bit of a sanctions tit for tat china and acting sanctions on two major american defense manufacturers in response to the u.s. six chinese entities that are linked to the spy program we will see if this called the biden expect sometime soon may happen but in the meantime he's defending his decision to shoot down the three likely harmless objects out of the sky. we are now learning from norad none other than the northern illinois bottlecap bloomberg aid is missing the balloon in alaska they said they lost a party style pico balloon when a fire jet shot down an object over there. the founder of the company that makes these balloons told aviation week i tried contacting our military and the fbi and i got the runaround to try to enlighten them on what a lot of these things probably are

looking to look not too intelligent to be shutting them down. norad said the fbi has spoken with the club and expects the security council to have more on identifying the objects. we do expect national security council john kirby in the white house briefing to explain why we use the 400,000-dollar missile to shoot down an object the cost between 12 and hundred and 80 bucks and whatever he's able to tell us about the new protocols moving forward since the u.s. ratcheted up its radar. biden said the details of how we can identify and respond to these things in the future are going to remain classified so our enemies and adversaries cannot invade the new protocols. were also hoping for answers. if the american people see another object in the sky, do we have to wonder if a missile is going to follow shortly after. >> good question, does a missile follow shortly after, good stuff. great report, thank you very

much indeed. the daily mail says weeks before the three flying objects were shot down the pentagon warned that ufos were an immediate threat to the safety of the u.s. citizens. josh is with the daily meal, this is his report and he joins me now. did the pentagon admit that the ufos are a threat and therefore real? >> yes we have to be careful about what we mean when we say ufos, of course immediately people tend to think flying saucers, that kind of thing. what they mean when they're talking about uap unidentified anonymous as the government speak for or ufos is anything in the skies in the space that is unidentified. the pentagon has already admitted all those things are there that even set up an office to investigate. it's the anomaly resolution

office. in this particular presentation slide deck which i have a copy of it by the director of the office. he is warning in the presentation, we've got all these things flying around we need to investigate what they are, we need the help of pilots to report them and figure out what is going on. stuart: that implies there is something wrong with her interception radar that guards are frontiers to see what's coming on. if we don't know what they are there is something wrong with assisted that's right, the kinds of incidents run the whole gamut of weather balloons, set up by lobbyist that you are talking about not report all the way through to incredible tiktok shaped objects that are moving at a thousand miles per hour reported by navy pilots, moving in ways that we don't understand and we said we don't have the technology for ourselves. extremely concerning.

in this government office is investigating all of them. what you've seen in the past few days and weeks from the incidents is norad has admitted they were tracking things like this on radar and they had to readjust the filters that they use to try to pick out spy buildings and othe rug and got ignored. this is something they should be looking at and something that congresspeople have been calling the government out on for years to look further into into not just ignore as a crazy ufo. stuart: get expression, josh boswell, thank you we always appreciate it. thank you. u.s. jets intercepted russian warplanes near alaska. come on in what board you have on this one. ashley: they worked balloons for the second time in two days, american jets intercepted for russian military aircraft this time including a bomber in

we were supposed to do that two days ago and hours before the meeting they said basically were not going to do it because we are concerned about the safety of our employees. and yet they have security police network for north folk and they could have done something with this. but of course they didn't. in terms of the information from the feds it's really slow coming. that's a problem. stuart: what role should pete buttigieg the transportation secretary, what role should he be taking your question works. >> the national transportation safety board has jurisdiction on trying to find out what happens here. it's all about transportation. the amount of cargo shipped every year through the rails in the amount of half the cargo is incredibly important to the country. there are so many communities that are right on the rail bi binds. the head of the national transportation safety port as

credit card debt delinquency and other loans are increasing this could be a sign of stress on the american consumer. we will have to see. stuart: you got that right total household debt 16.9 trillion last year. at 1.3 trillion in 2021. we need an economist and we got one, art laffer he is with us now what is the sharp rise in consumer debt and rising delinquencies, what does it tell you about the economy? >> two things we have a lot of inflation over the last year so you would expect inflation driven that the debt would increase but this is above and beyond which makes it a little bit alarming and the delinquencies are rising there is low levels but all of this is back on information that tells me there is a turning coming in the economy. i know our employment numbers were very high last month. i know the inflation numbers have been coming down for a

while but the new inflation members, their bad news, there's a lot of background information that is coming this is the future is harbingers of this economy the future of the economy is not going along well and the democrats are responding very badly to that. a thousand dollars in each one savings account worn beyond 2005 or whatever it was. wanting to raise the death tax to pay for that when we know the death tax collects one half of 1% of all revenue that is collected by a 40% death tax right now. what are they going to do. all of these are false solutions to problems that they created. the background noise tells us things don't look good for the future. stuart: if we keep spending as planned what happens does the economy go into recession, do we also get added inflation which would be stagflation? >> i think you do i think the

spending has been the primary cause of why the inflation picked up as soon as it did when biden came into office as edward lawrence mentioned what was if i trillion new spending by biden. that was the cause in my mind of inflation and if you go back to the same thing again i think you will see the inflation numbers rising. this last month's inflation number was half of 1% on a monthly basis which is about seven plus% on annual basis. the only reason the number came down is because a year ago number that dropped off was also very, very high. the monthly numbers are rising and that's not a good sign for inflation and while the employment number is looked great you see a lot of companies doing layoffs and all of that. i think we have a problem in front of us because of the overspending. i think the overspending is the issue to date. stuart: you are right i want you have a great weekend despite the
