compromised when it comes to china and he cannot stand up because if they tart releasing documents that show in his trips as vice president when he had a tag along named hunter and they ended up with multimillion dollar deals and chinese affiliated businesses and it's going to look pretty dog gone bad. what is he going to do? he'll look the other way and pretend it's not happening and i understand him. what i don't understand is some of the big woke national corporations who refuse to say anything about china because they're making a lot of money making their stuff over there, using slave labor to do it. it's all very disgusting and let me say once again, as usual, stu varney is right, china is no longer just a rival. they've become an enemy. stuart: i think so. regret to say that. doesn't want to say that but that's the way it looks on the world stage at the moment. with your permission, sir, i want to change subject. your daughter, the new governor of the state of arkansas, sarah

stand back and say, wow. stuart: just the mechanics of this and the future of arkansas, would parents be allowed to take taxpayer money and spend on charter schools and voucher systems and private schools? would they have that freedom to use their taxpayer money in the way they see fit. >> they can use it for provoke y'all schools, private schools and charter schools and public. they can use it for that and even homeschooling. this is a very broad and extraordinary opportunity to say to parents that we think you'll make better decisions about your children's education and the government will. how refreshing. stuart: it's a revolutionary governor and governor mike huck by, thanks for -- huckabee, thank you for joining me, sir. appreciate it. club for growth, and annual donor retreat this week and

shutting staff and moved from the tech center -- tech centric shouting to now other businesses across the economy, and then you see what some of these ceos are saying and what they think the economy will be doing and banking ceos like jamie dimon or google or amazon and i say i'd have to vote with the people with skin in the game and american ceo rather than what the fed has to say and they've been terribly wrong and they're setting us up for a huge collision here. it's going to be very interesting and you and i will have a front row to this and even larry summers no big friend to the right expecting in order to get to the 2% level. the better part of two years and that puts us right into that election. can you imagine being a part of administration and we'd rather put it in the box than let you

people lose your jobs and that's horrible. that's what they've said and if that's the case. unemployment from 3.4% up to 6.5 like larry summers thinks it should. imagine running for office in november 2024 in november ov '24 with those statistics hanging around? it'll be an incredibly interesting time and whether the fed blinks or administration blblinks, it remains to be seen. stuart: i don't know if you live there or not and you spent time in chicago and today there's the mayoral race and it's possible lori lightfoot would be kicked off in the first round. would you welcome that? >> i would. when she ran the first time around, she was almost sympathetic vote and set said a lot of right thingses and got behind her and ever since getting in office, it's been one straight downhill decline and i have friends that refuse to go into the city and women that won't bring purses or watches or

rings into the city and crime eke into part of the city and never used to have crime before she's lost the handle on the entire thing and she's running either third or second. i think the runoffs between the top two and we'll see what happens there and if there's a runoff, the predictions are there that show wasn't run up either and letting the city get out of control and she went down that route of almost wokeness with those crime statistics and carjackings and car thefts up 139%. it's been bad. stuart: it has. we'll have the result by tomorrow morning. scott shellady, thanks for being here. i know we'll see you again. back to the markets looking at some of the movers, merck is moving down. lauren: yeah, we're second worst performing dow stock and they've scrapped another prostate cancer study involving key true data committee and disappointing result there is and feeling it in their share price today. stuart: advanced auto parts. lauren: strong forecast for the year and they expect to see further improvements in

months ago at tech rival for $750,000 and they're mad that the ceo is flattening middle management telling them shape up or shape out and went on social media to vent and some calling the meta manager tone deaf and a, they're making more money than most people and b, belt tightening is a sign of the times but i kind of like this in a way. it's capitalism at work. i have a goal to make $1 million and this person said by 2026 and that's not going to happen. this was the advice my father gave me. stuart: what? lauren: do you remember yesterday, after the show -- no after the show we were talking about i said i've been dumped and you were silent and no one had been dumped except me. stuart: romantically? lauren: yes, and my father said every man is not going to want to relationship in new york city till they make a million dollars by 30. that's what this manager wants. stuart: tied the two stories together. lauren: i did in a very odd way. stuart: the ratings will go up

patriotic parallel economy is here to stay and we've become the largest network of patriotic businesses to exist and we're excited for the next chapter. stuart: does patetism, the way you're using it -- patriotism, does it sell or work? >> i believe the answer is undoubtedly yes. thousands of businesses on the platform share stories with us daily on how their profits are increasing and exposure to a group of consumers that our values align with them and increasing through the experience and they've had hard times advertising on platforms like facebook and youtube and they're grateful for a platform that not only respects their value and support their endeavor and yes, a patriot economy is not only a lucrative one.

stuart: when going public, it's a $200 million deal. what do you go public? >> that's a great question. we're expected to close in q3 and proud to partner with clbr listed on new york stock exchange and ultimately our desire is rooted in this strong urge to be a company that's by the people, for the people and owned by we the people. stuart: we hear you, michael siefert, thank you for being with us and best of luck with public square. pushing for evidence of infection farredable child care and leveraging investments in chip makers and we'll try to explain it. take a look at this, cnn says the president student loan handout "lies in the hands of nine relatively wealthy people that graduated from elite public schools". cnn talking about the supreme court. i guess they don't care much for the supremes. we'll take a closer look, next.

the cost surging more than 146% and $46,000 for one year at a private school. the rise in cost and rise in attendance means federal loan balances have ballooned and federal student loan balance was about $187 billions back in 1995. now it's $1.6 trillion in total. a breathtaking amount. today the u.s. supreme court weighs challenges and buying $400 billion for that debt and we took to the streets to ask people what they think and they're torn, watch. >> a lot of people are dealing with a lot of things in life and the struggle was real out here. >> i don't think the government can say, oh, this person doesn't have to pay when the next door neighbor already paid theirs.

who made that decision are having to foot the bill of those that went to college and unsure of the welfare and it's unjust and like alaska and he said it's only going to make college more expensive and administrators are out of control and more administrators than professors and jacking up the price of education and they're making it more diversity cult for students and professors to go about day-to-day activities and take independent studies and go through administrators and they're the cause of all this diversity, equity and include into our universities. they have to do it based-off of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation and gender. the bureaucrats require it and doesn't address it. stuart: more bureaucrats than

regulatory change made under the trump administration that could be related to the accident and could have made an impact and research focused on issues related to brake replacement, brake safety inspections, safety audits and changes to regulations recording some of the toxic chemicals but in the end the washington post found any change made by the trump administration was either not relevant or had not been shone to have an effect that could have have affected the derailment and they dug hard. stuart: an investigation opened into pete buttigieg's private jet travel. what's this about? ashley: pete buttigieg apparently can't blame his pre-perked method of transportation for that . the transportation department's internal watch dog is looking at buttigieg's extensive use of private jets. it comes after a recent report by fox news digital that showed buttigieg repeatedly arguing in

favor of aggressive action to combat climate change has taken at least 18 flights and taxpayer funded private jets since taking office in early 2021. critics say the transportation secretary flew private even when commercial options were readily available and the trust says "americans have faced unprecedented flight cancellations and disruptions but buttigieg has continued to flight private even when commercial options were ready available". as for himself, buttigieg says he uses government managed jet when is doing so saves taxpayer money. stu. stuart: all right, ash. we got it. thanks very much. now this, a grocery store chain requires shoppers to scan their receipt when leaving the store and cracking down on shopping and it's come to that. seattle guy jason rantz said

and a 21-year-old kid that repeatedly violated bond conditions and goes out and get into an accident tafanely causes a poor volleyball player and young girl to lose her legs. this is someone who should have been in jail. this is someone who at the bare minimum the city was paying attention to trying to get him in jail for violating the bail and not just about this one case but a lot of cases. stuart: was kim gardener supporting s soros? >> i believe so, yes. one person has a lot of power but no oversight and you can make these decisions to not prosecute and make the decisions to completely ignore the law and that can be done at the

legislative level and missouri by the way is trying to trust. stuart: good lord. i'm very interested in that story and democrats in washington state are forcing businesses to hire pot heads. that's the headline that i'm looking at. >> yes. stuart: businesses being forced to hire pot heads in washington state. how can you be forced to hire pot heads? >> by changing the process so you cannot find out whether or not these people are in fact pot heads and under a law being proposed and it looks like it'll go through and not able to drug test for marijuana and not able to discriminate for anyone that chooses to smoke on their off time. that should be left up to the actual business. if you do not want someone that's a pot head to work for you for very obvious reasons, you shouldn't be forced in that position and there's a conflict and it provides for aerospace industry and you can actually

test in that industry and if you're a nurses assistant and accountant and you can't actually test for that. it doesn't make sense to me and you're acknowledging there was a risk albeit tiny. but there was a risk. stuart: about this, these days you can smoke information and flower i believe it's called, there's a big smell or vape the stuff. pen and there's in smell. you get high. no smell. >> don't forget the edibles and you don't know. you don't know who's got pot in them and who doesn't. >> you don't and unfortunately again depending on the industry you're in, may not make a whole lot of fuss and drug tests and wait till there's an accident and do the drug test and if you're someone that's concerned about whether or not your staff are getting high and possibly high at work. you should be able to really enforce that kind of policy. you still have work force. stuart: it's not testing but a

statement by the company and don't get high on marijuana and come to work. if you do. you don't want someone like that to work for us and it's a reflect of our business and we have someone like you representing us and if you're a business owner that's fine with it, okay. at the end of the day, shouldn't be the government coming in and saying you cannot test that and stuart: check that market please, where are we now? dow down a bit more off 200 points and minor losses on the s&p and nasdaq. still ahead. texas congressman pat fallon and jason chaffetz and mike murphy and the united states is about half, 50% and it's much hire in europe than asia and why is that? what does it mean for america's cities? that's my take and it's next.
