sue. by dion and the belmonts. as we look at the empire state building. i know the song, good morning. 10:00 eastern. solid rally for the dow industrials. dow is up nearly 300 points. largely a couple of oil companies in the dow 30 they have gone straight up with the price of oil which we'll get to in a moment. 10-year treasury yield. where is that. it is up. but actually below the 3 1/2% level two year yield gone sharply higher. oil, $80 a barrel. that follows opec decision to lower oil production by more than a million barrels per day. where are we at bitcoin? 28,300 level. latest read on manufacturing. could be important for the economy. jackie, good morning. >> stuart the number came in at 46.3. the estimate at 47.5.

we have a strong session on our hands here. obviously manufacturing is something the market watches. we get the monthly numbers. we're looking at big picture in 23 right now. i think market is pausing. stuart: i think market likes it. >> went up 12 points. stuart: market likes lessening of industrial activity. maybe the fed won't be inclined to raise rates. >> bad news is good news. you want to see manufacturing strong in this economy. especially when you president walking around saying he is doing so much for manufacturing. stuart: well-said. the dow up 300 points. the s&p did indeed turn around. we're up seven. now this. the trump indictment is a huge distraction from all that is going wrong in america and the world. no wonder president biden has no comment. why should he wade into the

circus that takes away from failures. the headlines are all about trump and hush-money mayoff. how con haven't. since the indictment was first announced china must sell into the middle east brokering a peace deal between saudis and iran. brought currency into oil deals challenging the u.s. dollar. spy balloon, those stories are buried by trump and stormy. opec will reportedly cut oil production a million barrels a day. the price is rising. gas prices follow pretty soon too. that is not good. put trump in the headlines. let's not be honest about biden's energy policy. the the border? secretary mayorkas told 60 minutes there is no crisis. it is discuss a significant challenge. don't expect much pickup on that. bashing trump is much more compelling to the biden media. inflation, crime, bank bailouts, free speech, focus on trump instead. the trump trial circus is not

going away. there are other cases in the pipeline will which conveniently pop up in the months to come. not only is it bad for the country to have a presidential candidate embroiled in the courts, it is bad for the country when pressing problems are ignored, swept under the rug when this moment in our history a new world order is eamericaing distraction may be good for biden but bad for america. the second hour of "varney" just getting started. ♪. stuart: will cain volunteering again to be part of this program. he is a good man. thank you very much, will. what is your reaction likely to be a series of legal battles obscuring our crises? >> that they are serving their useful purpose. look i think to your point when it comes to the media and their constant obsession with donald trump just continuation

of the reality that drives ratings. got the main character back. the purpose of it otherwise for the democrats it is political, nakedly political. you know, stuart, there is a noble phrase being uttered ad nauseum almost like a tick on almost every other channel no one is above the law. it's noble premise to which we al agree aspirational, no one is above the law but when you look at the nature of this application of the law that you're looking at a misdemeanor, well past its statute of limitations he is having alvin bragg the manhattan d.a. working very hard to toll the statute of limitations bootstrapping it up to a felony this is not just application of the law, you can see it laid bare, naked intention motivation it serves politics. all you laid out, security, is also evidence of the motivation,

the the weakness of the clark, the purpose is not to seek justice to make sure no one is above the law, but rather it's tool of politics and for that and i think you're correct to point out there will be more of this, but for now we'll address alvin bragg, he is acting beyond the law. stuart: got it. one quick one, if the judge imposes a gag order on donald trump, wouldn't that pose a significant problem for the upcoming election if trump were not allowed to speak about certain items which are germane to the election? >> absolutely, stuart, yes. that would also be a huge political weight attached to the ankle of donald trump that, look, elections are about many things. unfortunately and you agree rarely they're about policy they're about drama, personality, and if you have one

side capable of sullying the reputation of donald trump because he is not going to be friendly, whatever is coming out of the court, leaked out of the court, to their very willing partners in the media, if donald trump can't offer a public rebuttal you have seriously horribled his ability to run for president, absolutely a gag order just like everything else, more than part of the system of justice. it is now the system of politics. stuart: what a mess but will cain, you're recovering lawyer if i can call you that. thanks for coming on the show giving us your expert tease. we value it. will cain, thank you, sir. governor desantis spoke in new york and pennsylvania over the weekend. he was on long island as well. he took a swipe at president biden. what did desantis say. >> basically the democratic party was dead in the state of florida. >> when i got elected there were almost 300,000 registered lemm

today registered democrats in the state of florida. fast forward today we now have 448,000 more registered republicans than democrats. it has been a massive defeat for the democratic party. they did not want to see florida go red. we have left the democratic party for dead in the state of florida. jackie: that was one of the states people worried about. it was turning purple. gone solidly back to red under his leadership. remember in the midterms, not only did registered voters come out on the republican side a of democrats living there, i like how you're doing business, ron desantis, i'm voting for you. that is why he won by a big margin. stuart: you're staying with me for the hour. i get back to the markets. seeing nice green for the dow and s&p now. a minor loss for the nasdaq composite. lou basenese with us.

why do you say be aware of big tech? you're willing me. i'm in microsoft. >> not buy high, sell higher, buy low, sell high. extremes don't last. if you look at the big tech sector. this is like, forsaking one of my children, i'm a tech guy, right? trying to tell you big tech is way overpriced right now. if you look at the average that it is trading on price to earnings ratio over the s&p 500, it is at 40% premium. that is double the historical average. that is extreme won't last. if we look at it on just the price performance of the nasdaq, versus the s&p 500, the nasdaq has not outperformed the s&p 500 by this wide of a margin since the dot-com era. we know what happened before. these stocks are getting too rich, too ahead of themselves on a hope of a fed rate cut that is not just coming this year. stuart: i will have the change the subject, bashing my microsoft. there you go. >> no. i don't, i like microsoft.

stuart: don't buy anymore of it. i liked your comments a week ago or last week i think on nvidia. it was 150 times expected earnings which is astronomically expensive. you don't like nvidia. who do you like in the a.i. space? >> we'll be best friends now. i like microsoft. stu, it is microsoft and here's why. microsoft has much more leverage to artificial intelligence after their 10 billion-dollar investment in chatgpt which is literally the engine that is driving this a.i. boom. don't you think microsoft can have more influence on how fast a.i. gets taken into the market because they can embed it in their systems? versus nvidia hoping as a pick and shovel play they get their chips in it? forward price-to-earnings ratio 30 times when the hype of a.i. pumped into it. it trades 50, 55 times forward earnings. if microsoft does the same thing

goes from current forward price to ratio 25 times to 50 times earnings? that means the company codouble from here just on a.i. much smarter, undervalued, not one rallied too much way to may a.i. stuart: we'll follow it. we like to play a.i. lou basenese, thanks very much. see you again soon. you got it. jackie with me for the hour. she is looking at the movers. oil companies are definitely moving. jackie: big green across the board. opec plus said it will surprise, surprise. they will cut production, stu. that will be effective in may. right ahead of the summer driving season here in the united states. saudis have break even, 55, 75 historically. where oil is trading. they don't like that. cut production, get price up to 80 as we head into the hider demand season. all of sudden they're raking it in. that is what happens when you cut production here in the united states, folks. stuart: conocophillips, warren buffett bought a big chunk.

up 8%. he is doing well. what about extra space storage? quake quake largest storage operation in the united states. acquiring life storage which is a reit. all stock deal roughly $145 a share. basically what happens here, they're the largest operator. they're getting 88 million square feet additional added to their portfolio. so that is pretty big win for them even though the stock is trading lower today. stuart: 6% down. i think all of the airlines are down including united which is down 2 1/2%. jet fuel is going up in price. airline stocks down. anything special about united? quake jake united is changing some service operations. springfield, illinois, linking capital airport. they're shifting some of the service from dallas-ft. worth to chicago o'hare that will be effective june 2nd. that is having a little bit of a impact. stuart: thank you, jackie. former press secretary general saki, telling democrats stay out of trump's indictment.

stuart: markets this morning a

bit of a turnaround we have the dow up 300 points. news came 17 minutes ago a little bit of disappointment in the manufacturing sector, maybe a slowing manufacturing sector. it's bad news but good news for investors. the dow is up 300. we have this, a russian pro-war military blogger has been killed, 25 injured after a bombing at a russian cafe over the weekend. amy kellogg in milan italy. what was the significance of this bombing. >> reporter: this was a evening dedicated to the pro military blogger in vladmir putin's hometown. it occurred of a bar belong toing wagner mercenary group. there are a lot of different theories what was really or who really was behind the deadly bar called street food bar number

one in st. petersburg. all we know the blogger who goes by the nodegeurre, vladin, was killed, dozens injured a bomb hidden inside of a statue presented to him by a woman at the event blew up next to him. he was from the region of ukraine fought with the separatist army they're, often very soft on russia, said he was critical russia's war effort saying it was too soft. is seen here at the kremlin ceremony last fall for the four ukrainian republics it annexed, we will win, we will kill them all. we will rob whoever we have to. the warrior though ultimately allegedly taken down by this 26-year-old woman who handed him the deadly statue, a figure your reason in his likeness a supposed aware for his heroism. you see the suspect spiriting

that statue into the event. she was picked up by police this morning. russia interior ministry released a video she gave the statue to him, but asked who gave her to pass on, she asks, may i answer that question later? so, stuart, ukraine saying this has nothing to do with them. probably has to do with russian interior internal conflicts, infighting, saying it is really about quote guyeders eating each other in a jar. russia said many times it believes ukraine was behind the deadly blast. stuart: amy kellogg. thank you very much. secretary of state antony blinken calling on russia to release immediately evan gerskovich. he is "the wall street journal" journalist be detained over there. kt mcfarland with us this morning. is this another, is this going to be another prisoner swap, hostage situation? >> that is what the russians do.

they want to make a political point. they take an american. in this case it is a little more frightening because "the wall street journal" report hears been accused of espionage. so he is not being accused foreign ministry for police, but being killed by the secret services, kgb successor organization. no american official is able to see him. they're not sure of the state of events. but what the russians will probably do, okay, let's string this out for a while, have headlines out for it, have a prisoner swap. they're never equivalent prisoner swaps. we always give them somebody far more important than we're getting back. not hard to see anybody more important than a "wall street journal" in russia. putin crony or some kind of a crook. we did a woman exchange for the woman basketball player. in exchange the russians got one of the world's most deadly arms

dealers, russian arms dealer directly or indirectly responsible for killing americans. i assume this will a equivalent exchange by worse. stuart: they still hold former american soldier i believe, i'm not sure of his rank. he has been there for many years. >> yeah. stuart: is it possible -- >> they hold two. stuart: okay, two. >> i'm sure the biden administration would like to get more but there are two americans being held. one is under the espionage charge. another one is on a drug charge. and will the russians, will there be a prisoner swap of all three americans get out for in exchange for some important russian or collection of russians only time will tell. the with headline "wall street journal" has a reporter who is in the clutches of the russian secret service. stuart: we have had the hostage situations since tehran seizure of american diplomats in 79. >> yeah. stuart: kt, you're a foreign policy expert, as you look around biden's world can you

show me a single foreign policy success? >> i thought about it for a long time, stuart, i as you know i go back almost 50 years in my career, 1970s, 1980s when reagan came in. when reagan came in we were at military disadvantage. planes couldn't fly. ships couldn't sail because we didn't have gasoline. we had tanks cannibalized on the runway, get one to work you needed two. he fixed the military, we won the cold war. at the time the soviet union were ahead of us militarily, they were behind us economically and way behind us with technology. fast forward today i don't think it's matter of the biden administration has no success to point to. i think they're doing definite harm to america's national security. we now have an adversary we don't have, hypersonic weapons. they have technology we don't

have. their economy is growing ever bigger. they have trade relationships they're getting particularly in the global south which is the area of growth in the future, we don't have that stuff. so i think the biden administration, the fixes are there if they would only do them. but they won't. they have a military they sacrificed on the at at are of wokism, instead after fighting military. sacrificed the prosperity at altar of will of the wisp climate change. stuart: we're learning that the chinese spy balloon did gather intelligence from u.s. military sites. that is not the story we heard from the white house when that thing first appeared. >> no. the experts in the field when weigh were all talking to each other we knew it was a significant intelligence gathering operation. what the chinese have done in their military build up, they built up a lot of new intercontinental ballistic missiles cape a.m. 6 hitting the united states.

they didn't have them before but now they do. the spy balloon was looking for target list. what are the potential targets or our response to any cyberattack. the biden administration. they screwed it up, what was the response? it didn't really matter that much. it did matter. it mattered a awful lot and continues to matter to the united states. stuart: kt mcfarland, i hope i see you again, i really hope. >> thank you. stuart: louis attorney general jeff landry suing big tech. he claims they colluded with the white house to censor speech. the attorney general is here and coming up. george soros trying to distance himself from alvin bragg, but data shows that the soros donations are indeed tied to the manhattan d.a. that report is next. ♪.

439 in the first year alone. eight of 25 firms that rate this company are rating it buy or higher. 15 are saying a hold. two are only saying it's sell. the average price target is 500. we're at 482. stuart: stock has been going up for months. macy's where are there? jackie: upgraded by jpmorgan. stock is higher by 7 1/2%. they had a neutral. they took it to a overweight. they say they have confidence in the bottom line plan for this company which includes cost cutting. shares are down 13%. this is definitely a vote of confidence. retail brick-and-mortar has been especially tough. stuart: i saw intel last week break out of the 20s per share, move up into the 30s. up another 2%. good story. jackie: intel owns mobileye. mobileye is a company that does autonomous driving for vehicles. samsung company we heard of will sell chips into intel subset

company to make these vehicles. historically, taiwan semi would historically provide the chris. seeing shift from taiwan assembly to a south korean company that could have impact. the feeling there will be a lot of demand for this. intel is branching out. stuart: finally intel is going up. thanks very much. alvin bragg is standing by his decision to indict donald trump. george soares is trying to distance himself from the manhattan d.a. lydia hu outside the florida supreme court. lydia, what are the ties between alvin bragg and george soros. >> reporter: money, stuart. huge political donations from george soros and his family members that supported alvin bragg and his ability to get into the office of district attorney here in manhattan. george soros has been public of his support for local district attorneys seek to reform criminal justice, through, for example, prioritizing mental health and job programs. another campaign promise from alvin bragg, prosecuting the

former president donald trump which conservatives have been quick to call out, watch. >> these are political plants, people who are only being supported with $40 million in the case of alvin bragg a million dollars from george soros, only because of ne critical prosecution of our opponents, those on the right. >> reporter: now, stuart, it is true. soros donated one million dollars, not to brag directly. that money was funneled through a political action committee committed to getting bragg into office but like we said this support of bragg extends through the soros family. soros son and daughter-in-law contributed tens of thousands of dollars directly to bragg. in the wake of the indictment by former president donald trump, interesting appears soros seems to be distancing himself from alvin bragg, saying he never

donated to his campaign directly. we know he made significant donations in the amount of one million dollars in support of political action committee supporting bragg. stuart: indirectly contributing too to it. lydia hu thank you. >> reporter: you got it. stuart: we have the attorney general of state of louis, do you think bragg should be investigated? >> first of all the whole system is completely falling down, our criminal justice system because of george soros and because of the positions they have taken are really basically destroying our criminal justice system. i mean think about it, stuart, the president would have been better off holding up or robbing someone with a gun or knife, they would have is dismissed the charges rather than simply indicted him. that is the kind of justice system we have today. it says number one our priority are political targets rather

than actual criminals that are afflicting damage on citizens of either their state or their cities. stuart: i will change the subject. you filed a lawsuit claiming the white house colluded with social media. can you describe the collusion? what exactly did they do? >> oh absolutely we have it on plain exhibit up on our website. what we have seen is basically that, that what we found in the lawsuit that we had is, that the government intentionally went out and suppressed americans speech. what they found was that, was that facebook and twitter through colluding with the white house and other agencies, that they then went out there and said, regardless whether you're a democrat or republican they censored their speech. stuart: i know the attorney general -- >> i got you. stuart: i am glad we got into

that. so they sensored speech and and you have got them cold of that i think you have 1000 examples if i'm not mistaken. if i ask you when we got time. >> sure. stuart: louisiana see as loss of population, four of top 10 counties with population loss were in your state. request are so many people leaving louisiana? >> it is the economy, it is the crime, it is our educational system. stuart, it is unbelievable, around the south, southern states, i call it the sec states, by the way the women's basketball lsu did a great job yesterday proving that, however, those states around us have an inward migration issue. in other words people are flocking to those states because of the way that those states are set up. the economies that are folk in there, the jobs that they're creating, the educational system that is available and the

safety. louisiana is not hitting on any of those metrics. that is the things that we intend to change. that is why we're running for governor. stuart: mr. attorney general, thanks very much indeed. okay. >> okay. stuart: got rid of flashing lights. i'm blinded by that thing. a bipartisan group of lawmakers meets with big tech ceos later this week. i think it is all about doing business in china. jackie: it sure is, republican congressman mike gallagher is leading the delegation. he will talk to disney, apple, alphabet, microsoft. we can't talk with china doing business there without thinking of these kinds of companies, big tech specific. what they're going to do map out a path forward. some defensive stratgives and other strategies to become competitive. you want rip the bandaid, cut the relationship completely. stuart: big names at the meeting. thank you, jackie. president biden may skip the core roy nation of

listen in her own words. >> now is also not the time for democratic candidates to celebrate, to brag, to predict the outcome of the legal cases. if you can i would actually just put your head down and stay out of it for now. president biden and the white house will lean into the long-standing policy that they don't comment on ongoing criminal investigations. that is not only the right thing to do but in this case it is also good politics. jackie: of course that is what she is worried about, politics for the democrats and how this will play out because trump is getting so much support. people are outrage what is happening. it is amazing. stuart: thank you, jackie. dhs secretary alejandro mayorkas refusing to admit there is crisis at the boardedder. >> do i view it as a crisis at the border. >> why won't you say crisis? >> i have tremendous faith for the people at the department of

homeland security. the crisis speaks to me of withdrawal to our mission, we're only putting more force and more energy into it. stuart: i can still hear him. that guy is joe concha. why can't he call it what it is? what would happen if he did come out to say we have a crisis here? >> because he has been instructed stu, not to say that word that is the messages we heard from the white house from day one. the numbers are staggering but the questions during that 6:00 at this 6'6" at this minutes interview. 180 people crossed the border on the fbi terror watch list that should be a little bit concerning. what about the 13 people on the terror watch list in 2021 that were arrested when this president took office. let's compare the numbers. 182 have crossed over the past 15 months. it was 13 in a year when joe biden took office. we're talking 14 times as many people considered to be

terrorists crossing this border. mayorkas cannot call it a crisis. we didn't hear him apologize to his border agents when he said they whipped haitian migrants. no apology there. no questions about that by the way. also about the 13 border patrol agent that committed suicide during the past year. he had the audacity the border wall is off the table because of the cost. the cost will be infinitely higher in this country when we talk about obviously 100,000 people dying of opioid overdoses driven by fentanyl coming across the u.s. southern border. obviously if a terror attack is carried out would it look like it is worth it to build the wall? i would think so. a pathetic display by the secretary during that interview. stuart: he is the fall guy for joe biden. open borders is the policy of the biden. mayorkas is the fall guy. >> republicans can go ahead and impeach him. biden will put someone else in

there to carry the water. it won't matter. stuart: change subject. trump's legal troubles will they drag out this year, into next year and cloud the election. >> oh, absolutely. look the trump indictment is obviously the biggest story of the year, it deserves ample attention but now it appears that the 2024 election has already become a referendum on donald trump and not the current guy in the oval office who is polling at 38% approval. when you look at it, his polling on things like the economy and crime, two biggest issues facing voters he is in the 20s. that being joe biden. so you will have all this attention if trump wins the nomination and widening his lead over ron desantis seems by the day. if he captures that nomination, you will see very little scrutiny on the biden record. everything will be myopic when it comes to donald trump. not so much trump even stance on issues, stu. it will be all about his character. all about the legal issues. we're not going to have the type of presidential election that country deserves which is based

"new york times" lost its check mark. they have not paid their bill. i will say this i'm playing
