of the department of justice started in earnest under barack obama and now with joe bind, they're out in the open and brazen. >> we're looking at all kinds of things where we think the government is not functioning in the way it should be and in many

ways targeting the people it's supposed to serve. we have all kinds of concerns with decisions that have been made by the justice department. >> we cannot have a stabilized country if your border continues to be a mess. those are conditions that joe biden dropped on the united states with his wreckless border policy. reckless border policy. >> we're near the end of increasing inflation and rising interest rates. >> it's not the economy that spells trouble and it's that rates are so high investors have other options. treasuries are a good bet right now. stuart: oh, flo rider is back. lauren: mr. florida? stuart: you'll never let me forget i ca called him mr. flor. the dow up 150 points and sales

force is a dow stock going to the moon and s&p and nasdaq down just a little. big tech, when you get the yield on the 10-year triple-demic reigns leading going up -- treasury going up way above 10% and microsoft up about half a percentage point and rest are down. here's the 10-year treasury yield up to 406 this morning. now this, the people of chicago sent a very -- chicago sent a very clear message to lori lightfoot: you failed and your policies failed and we want something different. that's a message to every democrat-run city in america. on april 4, chicagoans will choose who they want next. it's a stark choice. they can go forward to something new with paul valis or they can go backwards with brandon john

ton restricting the police ending no knock warrants and erasing the city's gang data base. he bakes the failing -- backs the failing teacher's union and impose higher taxes on wealthy areas. that's going backwards on steroids. voters elsewhere are watching watchingand mayors are elected n identity, race, gender, sexuality and lori lightfoot is black, female, and lesbian and incompetent. how many elected officials ticked all the right boxes but made a mess because they couldn't perform? every democrat-backed city is backed by the teacher's union and the schools are a dismal failure. a ranting teacher's union president. you didn't get it. ranting teacher -- it'll come eventually. we've seen it enough. do people want more of that? i don't think so. raising taxes. i would invite chicago's tax the

rich brigade to visit florida's gulf coast where illinois license plates are everywhere. chicago's choice is america's future choice. it's a pivotal moment, backwards or forward. what will it be? shyens will points way on april -- chicagoans will point the way on april 4. third hour of varney starts nowd can go by way of chicago or florida. it's a stark choice and that pathway will dictate the future that our kids live in in this country and i hope we go by way of florida and freedom and less regulation and good schools. wouldn't that be great, stuart? stuart: yes. >> what's interesting is the lori lightfoot loss and the comments you highlight that had

she made that she lost because of her race, her gender and sexuality. this is the victim hood that permeated throughout cowelture and i lost and not doing as well not because i'm a failure or haven't done a good job or haven't prepared baa i'm a victim of people not treating me fairly. when crime goes up by 40% in chicago, violent crime, people don't like that. even liberals don't like that or when you have street vendors getting robbed at gunpoint and lori lightfoot says stop taking cash, take credit cards and the vendors say my clients can't get bank accounts and only have cash as opposed to saying i'll put more cops on the beat and arrest the thugs robbing the poor street vendors making a living. you've misguided your principles and priorities and therefore you're gone, lori lightfoot. good for you. i hope america doesn't go by way of chicago. let's go florida. stuart: let's go florida, well

said. chicagoans are heading to florida big time, they already are. i'm going to change the subject for just a second. the new head football coach at university of colorado deion sanders, he's getting heavy criticism for his religious views. watch this. >> don't you ever tell me what god ain't. don't you ever tell me his limits. don't you ever tell me what you're up against and what you can't do. all the persons in the world, god chose me. for that i thank him and magnify him and glorify him and praise him. for that i owe him each and every day. i'm trying to please him. stuart: for saying that, he's getting heavy duty criticism. all right, sean, is it appropriate for a college coach to express religious beliefs like that? he's not making any players pray with him, is he? >> of course it's appropriate.

men of faith built this country, helped make this country great. whether it's the biggest jobs or smaller jobs, people with morals and value and faith make this country great and deion sanders standing up and saying, you know what, i'm a man of faith. you can attack me allayment, all you -- all you want, alluate criths that want -- atheists that want to take religion out of every factor of society and people like deion sanders that speak up and have the courage he has when he's taking arrows and it's not awes easy to be a christian, stuart. you get punched and get hit but when guys like this stand up and stand firm, i love it. i think he's an inspiration and give him the attack. i don't think deion sanders is going anywhere. stuart: is he the same guy we used to call him neon deion? is that the guy? >> i think so, yeah. it's amazing. stuart: was he a wide receiver? i can't remember. he was, adam johnson saying yes, he was. he's the guy that runs like the

devil towards the touch line and catches it last minute. that's deion sanders. >> he got the ball and you never got it back. never took him down. stuart: he's a cornerback. i'm out of my depth, sean. thanks for being with us. >> it's not soccer, stuart. it's not soccer. stuart: i know that, it's not bitcoin either. by the way, congratulations. your new show, the bottom line, 6:00 p.m. eastern, it's a real success. well done, sean and david. real good stuff. >> that you can't, stuart. stuart: see you later. check the markets and rally for the dow but not nasdaq. we're up 160 on the dow industrials and that is -- what's that stock that's doing it all? lauren: sales force. stuart: that's the one. sales force, straight up and adam johnson with us this morning. what's this about you buying oil, not commodity but oil stocks. >> i know, i've been the one guy saying would you rather own technology stocks at two year lows or oil at two year highs? i being ingenuity growth guy and why would i buy boring oil?

because boring oil has been under the gun. there's this whole macro trade that's happening where people are not looking at individual companies, they're just saying, oh, recession is inevitable. therefore we should sell anything that's hurt under a recession and the assumption being, well, if we're going into a recession, that means oil demand goes down, oil stocks are not going to make as much. sell the oil stocks. i disagree and think it's one sided and understand the logic behind it and it's one sided and imperfect because we're not going into a recession. my point is the oil stocks got to where i want to own them. stuart: almost every analyst on the show is looking at the fed. are they going to pivot, are they going to --->> so sick and tired of it. stuart: never goes anywhere. >> can we get on with the rest of our lives and business and focusing on employment, focusing on earnings, focusing on all the wonderful things happening in the country. stuart: you're in the financial business. do you have to take account of what the fed is likely to do and not likely? >> i do. unfortunately i do and have to

have an opinion on it and my opinion is that the fed is almost done raising rates, and actually i would argue that the bond market is saying the same thing. fed fund futures say the fed will be done at about 5 5.25. we're at 4.75 right now and within two or three more hikes of being done and remember, stocks always look forward by six months, which means the stock market's saying, okay, it's done. i think that's why actually stocks have been rallying. it's not a straight line and some days, a week ago down a lot. i think, i think we're turning that corner. oil has been hit by the notion we're not turning the corner but i think we have. stuart: can i put you in the bull camp? >> oh, gosh yes. i've been in there for months and for some of the months i've been wrong. again, if you focus on the two es of earning and employment. employment is as strong as ever and earnings not as bad as we thought and those two es, earning ands employment, are what ultimately are telling the story. stuart: adam johnson, thank you,

sir. much some movers for us, lauren. lauren: grand theft 'auto people are up 2% and sony is looking to buy them likely in response to microsoft trying to buy activision blizzard if that gets the green light. stuart: silver gate capital, i looked it up. they're crypto. lauren: correct and they're crashing and pull up the stock. they won't be able to file their annual report on time. down 43%, and they're now evaluating their ability to stay in business. what did you say, adam? >> i said i own it, and it's really ugly and it's embarrassing and upsetting. i thought the two crypto companies were coin base and silver gate and everybody uses them to revert currency into crypto and route into the right exchange. for that reason alone, they're the right infrastructure and i've been wrong and it's painful. i've got egg on my face today. stuart: you're admitting it.

and that's good. honesty. >>s that part of being in the market. you get one right and one wrong. hopefully more right than wrong. stuart: we hope. opta and it is up nearly 10%. lauren: their earnings forecast is double expectations because companies are still willing to spend money on securing their infrastructure at least 11 brokerages braced their price targets today on the stock. stuart: i'm going to tease what's coming up, that's what it's called professionally, a tease. here we go, one chik-fil-a location banning kids under 16 unless they're with an adult. the stores say kids are too nosey and vulgar to be left on their own. oh,. >> that's crazy. stuart: that's quite a move. chik-fil-a are the guys closed on sunday. come on. stuart: while you were sleeping, spacex was launching astronauts into orbit and joint mission with nasa send crews to iss and

hi, i'm katie, i've lost 110 pounds on golo in just over a year. i was a diet soda addict, and i needed to have a diet soda every morning as my eye-opener. with the release, the cravings are gone. golo worked for me when i thought nothing would work for me. the first few weeks were really astonishing how quickly and how easily it came off, how much better i felt, what a change it made so fast. i feel like anything is possible after accomplishing what i've done with golo. stuart: house panel passed a bill that would give the president ability to ban tiktok outright. grady, what's the next step? reporter: stuart, could go to the full house for a vote and might face an uphill battle even though there's growing appetite,

bipartisan appetite for a bill banning tiktok and that's because there's so many proposals floating around right now on both the house and senate sites. this one that you mentioned, it passed the foreign affairs committee yesterday. it is sponsor is republican congressman mike mccall and he tells me that the bill would give president biden the authority to sanction and ban any chinese controlled company that could be participating in espionage or intelligence gathering, aka tiktok. >> if you have the app on your iphone, you're susceptible to having a backdoor in your phone. we saw the spy balloon incident that took place across the united states, and i would argue that tiktok is like a spy balloon in your iphone. reporter: in its defense against mccall's bill, the social media company is positioning itself as somewhat of a champion for american values even though its owned by chinese parent company

byte dance. tiktok telling fox business, a u.s. ban on the app is a ban on the export of american culture and values to the billion+ people who use our service worldwide. we're disappointed to see this rushed piece of legislation move forward despite its considerable negative impact on the free speech rights of millions of americans who use and love tiktok. democrats in the house have critcriticized this particular l as being too broad, and i've even talked to some republicans, stu, who tell me it might be wiser to specifically target tiktok as opposed to any chinese-controlled company that could be engaging in spying like this bill does. stuart: got t grady trimble right there. thanks, brady. brent bozell with me this morning. brent, if the president were to ban tiktok out right, that would be a major move. i mean, that would be a really big deal. should he do it?

>> in my lifetime, i don't remember anything like this but this is the new world of social media. you have to look at china. china is a greater threat to the united states than the soviet union was during the cold war. they're doing every action of espionage and they're funding biden libraries and they're everywhere and i think it's appropriate to look at this. now, what are the legalities? i don't know, nobody know where is this one is going but isn't it fascinating, stu, that it's 24 republicans where 16 voted to give that i can president authority to do something about china. that tells me the power of the china lobby on capitol hill. stuart: tells me biden is

frightened by china. what do you say on that? >> i think that's very much the case and we believe chinese venturism and we have to get to bottom of hunter biden laptop because china is all over that laptop and they're our enemies and they were dabbling with giving money to the son of the vice president of the united states of america. stuart: this headline, trump officials are said to press spies to link virus in wuhan labs. brent, both the fbi and energy department say covid came from -- likely came from a chinese lab. does the new york times have a credibility psoriasis on its hands? crisis on its hands? >> stuart, i know this wouldn't affect you because you never make a mistake, but what is it

that journalists who make mistakes simply cannot own up to a mistake. even honest mistake. why can't they do it and calling him a racist and i could read you the quotes and accusing him of racism for suggesting that the wuhan lab was was call add racist by the new york times and it's wonderful the new york times is reporting the story it came from the lab but where's the new york times reporting? we were wrong for two years and we slandered the president of the united states for two years and he was right about this. you'll never hear that from the new york times. this is what i find disgusting. they can't own up to their mistakes. stuart: well said. brent bozell, always good. enjoy cpac because i know that's where you shall. >> thank you, sir.

saying "in preparation for a new store we plan to open in the charlotte area early next year, we'll be closing apple north lake on march 2. all of our team members will continue to support our char lot customers -- charlotte customers at apple south park and apple store online". the statement said nothing about the recent gun violence and records show apple renewed its lease at the mall at the end of last year and now, well, the doors are closed for good at that apple store. stu. stuart: explain this one to me. we have a chik-fil-a restaurant banning all children under 16 unless they're with an adult. that's not like chik-fil-a. why are they doing it? ashley: no, but this particular store said it had enough. the restaurant about 30 minutes outside philadelphia said just too much lousy behavior from rowdy teens and the chik-fil-a wrote while it loved being a "community restaurant and

serving guests of all ages, unacceptable behavior by children of all ages wouldn't worth welcoming them anymore unless with mom, dad, or adult chaperon". the only time a person under 16 can enter that restaurant without supervision is if they order their food at counter and promptly get the heck out. the restaurant says the unruly younyoungsters are loud, often e while being rude to employees ons job. some applauded the decision saying the restaurant had no choice because the teens' behavior was so out of control, especially apparently after school and on saturdays is when the things got out of control. stuart: you got to make a stand somewhere. if it's killing your business, make a stand. thanks, ash. ashley: absolutely. stuart: next case, remember bernie sanders, big plans for college students. roll tape. stu>> every public college and

space and combustion in microgravity. by the way, this is the sixth time spacex launch add crew for nasa. on the markets this morning, i've got -- not a bad gain for the dow industrials up about 100 points but taking care of this one stock basically. we have the nasdaq down 60 and the s&p down 9. not that much price movement. susan li with me starting with at thtesla. susan: the tesla. elon musk will drag you kicking and screaming into the future. stuart: you think? susan: oh, yeah, spacex, amazing rocket launches and electric cars and today the stock is down because you buy on the hype, you sell on the news. this is the typical kind of price action that we've seen heading into these master plans for tesla. we're lucky the biggest drop was january 3 for tesla stock, $50 million in market cap erase. the stock run up 70%,

$310 billion heading into investor day. not much on action products and no cheaper $25,000 car, no cyber truck or update but there's a lot of cool futuristic renderings and if we can start with the diner and charging station. isn't this amazing, stu. if the future we could charge electric cars and grabbing a burger downstairs. stuart: that's the future of the electric cars. susan: robots taking over assembly line and more efficient. stuart: didn't exactly work. the stock is down. futuristic. susan: futuristic but the stock is down. ford said that you saw sales jump 20%. stuart: i want to know about sales force. dow stock, straight up today. what's the story? susan: on 10% sales growth and coming off the worst year for sales growth in the company's history.

this is a relief rally and the beat on sales profit guidance, 25 analysts price target hikes on this relief rally, 250, some going up to 250 and that's about 20% upside on the stock. most calling for 225 and i said again to you, 10% growth in any other year for sales force will be considered disappointment but it's a stock bye back being doubled to $20 billion and that's also helping the bottom line. stuart: i want to know about wal-mart. susan: yeah, wal-mart says they're opening 28 new health center locations next year, 2024. wal-mart, the largest grocery by sales in america, kroger is the largest by store. when you know that kroger had a beat to end last year and increasing their dividends and they're cutting back on stock buy backs in order to reduce debt to buy albertsons, a $20 billion acquisition. really interesting about the state of grocery and why i brought up wal-mart, both of them are seeing that they're seeing an especially strong trade down from wealthier

custcustomers and kroger says hr income customers, that segment grew by 1.1 million households in the last three months of last year because of high inflation. 40-year high inflation, slowing economy, meaning wealthy people like you are shopping at krogers. stuart: not yet but might get there. thank you, susan. an agent at drug enforcement administration, dea, testified before congress yesterday. listen to who he blames for the fentanyl crisis. roll it. >> you agree with the sheriffs that immigration has fostered this increase in fentanyl coming across the border? >> 100%. the country is being invaded. here's the problem, congressman, the people in this town don't listen to the experts that know what they're talking about that have been on the border. stuart: an emotional guy right there and chad wolf is joining us now. he's the former acting dhs secretary. chad, don't we need a border wall to stop the fentanyl surge?

wouldn't that do it? we're all looking for ways of stopping this dreadful killer surge. i put it to you, a wall is the best and frankly the only way. >> well, physical infrastructure along that border we know works. just look at the history and look at data and facts. it does work, it helps secure that border. this whole idea that the left is pushing that we're only picking up fentanyl coming between ports of industry, we're only picking it up there because that's the only place we're catching it. we know that the cartels love to surge large bodies, large populations of migrants over the border so that border patrol resources surge to that area so that they can then smuggle illegal narcotics across the border in other areas of the desert and along that river. we know this, this is proven fact. law enforcement agents, border patrol acts know it. the fact that the biden administration continues to not say this, to not tell the american people the truth is doing a disservice.

stuart: yesterday we had a former drug czar, bill bennett on the show, talking about the fentanyl surge. he thinks we should use the military to go after the cartel leaders. watch this please, chad. roll it. >> declare them foreign terrorist organizations. that allows the government to go after them wherever they are. we know how to do these things. weave done these things before. it's just an act of will. once we declare them what they are, we will then know how to act. just like we took out the guy in the middle east. stuart: that's very strong stuff. chad, what do you say? should we acceptable the military after these guys? send the military of these guys? >> i think we're slowly approaching that space. look, we know that cartels are very dangerous individuals and organizations. this idea that you can divorce what's going on with the illegal narcotics and the fentanyl from the human trafficking at the border is silly. the fact that the biden administration through their policies have encouraged more human trafficking and more

individuals coming across that border illegally over the past two years than any time in our history, all of that money, every individual that crosses the border paying cartel members and all that money going back into the illegal narcotics trade and this administration is funding the cartels to continue to pedal fentanyl across the border. until we get serious or change our policies and/or go after the cartels, none of this will change. stuart: we know who runs the cartels. you're a forming acting dhs guy. wee know who they are, don't we? >> it takes political will and they're omitterring in a foreign country and mexico in this case. so it becomes difficult because you want a liaison with the mexican government but there's elements of the government that are compromised and so it becomes a lits l more difficult

but takes leadership, it takes will and the ability to spend time and energy and resources on this. i spend a considerable amount of time and others did as well and you don't see that happening right now with the biden folks. stuart: i like a go get them. chad wolf, thank you for joining us sir. always appreciate it. thank you. >> yeah, thank you. stuart: the world's most famous dog sled race beginning this weekend but this year it's the smallest group of competitors ever and inflation could be to blame. next one, fordham law and one other are the latest to drop out of u.s. news and rankings and don't think the list presents an accurate picture of what they really offer. it's a rankings re-have felt and in my opinion -- revolt and in my opinion it's all about wokism, that's next. ♪

stuart: only 33 mushers will lead their team of dogs for ten days through the alaskaen wilderness and the mushers say inflation is partly to blame for the low number. not worth the money. the race can cost up to $250,000 but the winner only gets $50,000. staying on alaska, the willow oil project there is the largest pending oil and gas project in the country. will the president approve it? mike dunleavy -- i got it wrong, dunleavy, the governor of alaska joining me now. do you expect president bide ton kill it and if he does, what's the impact on supply of oil and alaska? >> i hope he doesn't. there's rumors he's trying to cut the deal and would in fact cut the project and needing more than two pads and looking for five pads to make it economical.

stuart: the pad is just a drilling station? >> that's right. talking about doing two or less and if it's two or less, that project is dead and not economical for the investors and that'll mean upwards of 180,000-barrel as day for many, many years offline for alaska and americans. stuart: i would expect him not to approve it because he's a very green president. >> that's correct. i think he's being held hostage by eco terrorists and extreme environmentalists will be a problem and has been a problem for alaska and this country. stuart: alaska is real close to russia as we know. basically on the front lines of america's defense from russia, china, and north korea. do you think that americans and maybe the administration understands the new strategic importance of alaska in this new cold war because we're now getting china and russia and north korea coming out. >> i hope they are and they're waking up because alaska invaded world war ii and we're the furthest northern and western state and we're so far west and

people need to understand that we're only 2.5 miles from russia and 50 miles from the mainland and i hope so. we need more ice breakers and we need probably other presidents up there and we have air force and army presidents and more coastline than the rest of the world and hoping which i thinks will change. stuart: you need a prosperous alaska and need the oil to happen. does the administration understand this? >> i think they understand and the pressure from the environmentalists is so great they're able to override common sense and logic. you're seeing this in a whole host of things and the administration and best for the american people and most likely the world is not necessarily what's going to be supported by the administration if their land herreras and supporters in the environmentalist world have their say. stuart: one thing that struck me without being there is the sheer

size. it's vast. >> it's the size of a subcontinent like europe and it is -- if you put it on a map, map of the united states, the southern part would touch georgia, the northern part would touch minnesota and the alucian out in the ocean. stuart: 730,000? >> yes, sir. stuart: for a state which is two and a half-times the size of texas. >> yes, sir. stuart: you're spread thinks aren't you? >> we're spread thin but punch above our weight and weave got a terrific position on the globe and we have second busiest air cargo airport in the united states at ted stevens international, fourth busiest in the world and north pacific sovereign and arctic sovereign. it's interesting and we hope this administration allows us to develop our resources, which we were supposed to do back in 1959 with the feds but it's a struggle. we've got 42 actions by this

administration against alaska, whether it's oil, timber, whether it's mining. they seem to want to snuff out our feature. stuart: 42 actions by minor defense saying hey, hold off on all these -- s -- >> old off on permitting and don't allow the studies and projects to happen. the willow project is probably the poster child right now because they're supposed to make a decision in the next few days and if it's too pads or less, that project is done. stuart: i know that the greens, the environmentsallists and they're very powerful in washington dc. what about in alaska itself. do you have a solid green movement in alaska? >> you have a green movement in alaska and the majority of alaskaens and republicans and democrats and our native alaskaen folks support this project and leading to oil in the pipeline and more jobs and hopefully lead to lower our costs in fuel. stuart: governor dunleavy, did i get it right this time?
