stuart: i love the guitar riff in this. santana. that guy can really play guitar, wailing guitar. we have a young man on the set nodding his head. he wouldn't even know who santana is. i got stuck in an elevator once. but that is another story. we have green on the screen. not very much. we have big earnings reports coming out in the later in the week, dow up 40 as we speak. 10-year treasury yield, still above 3 1/2%, only just 3.52. oil not much action. $78 per barrel, up 40 cents. bitcoin action, 27,600 bucks per coin. that is the markets on a monday morning. now this. i don't know how the president plans to turn this around. he is going to announce his re-election campaign tomorrow but an nbc poll shows seven out

of 10 voters do not want him to run. a "wall street journal" editorial call it quote, biden's second term mistake, end quote. the "new york times" editorializes, questions will persist about his age until he does more to assure voters he is up to the job, end quote. hardly a ringing endorsement of the president's re-election campaign. i will throw my two cents in here too. the president should not run again. he is putting the country in danger. he is 80 years old and in obvious decline this is difficult to talk about. nobody wants to undermine a president in time of war but we've got to take an honest look at the danger we face from a gerry at geriatric president what if in 18 month the president is incapacitated. imagine the crisis if he is capable to doing the job sore not. who makes the call?

how would adversaries react to herries presidency? do you think russians, chinese would go easy on her if she is new to the job. get out of here. the president makes announcement on videotape this is who biden figures beating age, cog any ability problem. if still bell, gaffe, harris presidency creates a political crisis a run for a second term is indeed a mistake which we may all pay the price. second hour of "varney" just getting started ♪. stuart: all right, look who is here now, on a monday morning, charlie hurt, can't get better than. that is biden's run for a second term a mistake, charlie? >> oh, i think without a don't and it's mistake for the country

but also i think a mistake for democrats as well, as you point out his own voters don't want him to run again but it's little bit rich to listen to "the new york times" lecture us suddenly about his age when this has been an issue even before the election. it has been obvious he is not a young 80 years old. he is an old 80 years old. you mentioned santana. talk about a young 75-year-old. he is a young 75-year-old. joe biden is a old 80-year-old. stuart: that hurts, charlie, really does hurt. i'm almost 75. what do you make of susan rice out? >> you're the youngest, spryest 74-year-old there is. you should ren for president. stuart: i give you that 10 bucks i owe you soon. i promise to pay up, believe me i will. what do you make of susan rice out, leaving the white house, is

there significance to this? >> it is sort of hard to say but i do think at a point like this in an administration obviously flailing a lot of people tend to kind of jump ship, if for no other reason they're interested in making some coin off of their influence, off of their connections in the white house. we saw this earlywer ron klain and sometimes it is an indication that they don't, that they don't see much of a future in the current administration but that is the way washington works and both parties do it. stuart: do you think she had something to do with that letter to the, from the 51 intelligence people who said it was russian disinformation? because basically she got anthony blinken his job as secretary of state? >> no, i think absolutely without a doubt. i think the fact that you have republicans obviously they did not take control of all of congress but the fact they control the house, they can do

these investigations, and they can look into that letter in particular, and the degree to which these people used their influence, their top secret influence in order to influence the election in 2020, it is a very, very serious issue. of course it is the issue that we listened to for four years to democrats talking about and if you take it seriously you can't ignore that issue. stuart: can't ignore it. charlie, thank you very much for being with us. see you soon. thank you, sir. florida's governor desantis arrived in tokyo, what is he doing this other than running for president? lauren: he is beefing up his foreign policy chops. he is traveling to japan, south korea, great britain next couple days. here he is with the japanese prime minister kashida. >> my wife and i appreciate the japanese people, japanese

culture and the ally they have been and we're here to explore more relations between florida and japan. lauren: direct flights. japan is actually the state of florida's seventh largest trading partner. beef up direct flights from tokyo to orlando you can build up business. talking about facing threats from their neighbors and our enemies north korea and china. stuart: he just doesn't want to have more direct flights. he wants to look. lauren: especially after the ukraine comments that got him some backlash. stuart: robert f is say talking about the effect lockdowns had on middle class. what is he saying? susan: >> we have to build the middle

class. getting away from the warfare economy, what china did originally build its toker project power by building its economy on the strength of a nation comes from a strong economy and a seib brandt middle class and we have wiped out the middle class in this country systematically. susan: i think that is a fresh take. that is the way he hits trump, right, who started the lockdowns. he goes after biden and biden economy. he kept the lock downs going. he let prices rise and rise and rise. stuart: i want to tell our viewers mr. kennedy suffers from a condition, a throat condition, called spas not tick, the involuntary of his mussels gives him difficult with the voice. we're all waiting for the big tech announcements coming up later this week. not so much movement so far. he is back, a glutton for

punishment. that is you, you're back, sitting here in new york city for me. lauren: he looks so confused. stuart: you're the young guy who doesn't know anything about santana. that was you. >> i love santana. stuart: you're back on the show. what does high inflation mean for stocks. a lot of people say inflation sticks around four and 5%? >> at this point high inflation, it means priors increases for companies, you heard that a millions times. if you get inflation sticking at around five or six, 5% most recently, if it sticks up there, that is actually really bad news because right now with what the fed has said recently, you certain come comments in the minutes we'll pause on rate hikes. if inflation surprises to the upside, continues to be way too sticky, would you see see a repricing of rates market us up a little bit. fed funds futures move up a little bit. the fed would have to be more aggressive than they think they have to be right now. they think inflation is

significantly on the decline. stuart: do you see that now? do you see those pointers towards even higher interest rates in the future. >> no. i think inflation is declining very nicely. in less than 12 months we've gone from cpi 9%, to cpi 5%. that is real noise nice. stuart: is that good sign for stocks. >> first thing you see is a hit to demand that is it what lower inflation is. you will have to see that get reflected in earnings. the market is expensive. so in the near term the market will be probably pretty choppy around that. stuart: tell me about big tech reports. microsoft and alphabet. that will set the market course for sometime to come? >> that is big piece of the nasdaq and s&p 500. so those stock moves matter. i think there is some downside risk into the prints because both those stocks, big tech is

way up year-to-date. they're trading much, much richer valuations than they were at the beginning of the year. when you actually look at the results, meta, forget about currency, their revenue would be probably flat to up a little bit year-over-year. that's not a lot. you're seeing a significant slow down of ad spend. some because of slower consumer spend and less marketing spend. some gus of slower growth overall of the digital ad market. these stocks are expensive and there is some real slowdown in the ad business as well as cloud for microsoft. stuart: jacob, i was buying microsoft before you were born. should i now sell it? >> no. if you bought microsoft before i was born you can just hold it. stuart: i will. jacob, you're all right. i hope you come back see us again soon. don't be put off by my manner. >> i love to be back. stuart: you will be. thanks, sway could be. stop laughing. she is sitting next to me.

tell me about the movers. whoa, whoa, c 3 a down 10%? lauren: wolf research say the shares are going down 30%. the popularity of artificial intelligence is dwindling. they say the hype is dwindling. the growth estimates around this particular company are 10% too high. stuart: microsoft reports but the. lauren: how far did their deposits fall, that is what investors want to know? is there stabilization of outflows towards the end of the quarter. can they remain profitable. why is the stock up eight% with big questions of that. ceo of morgan stanley james gorman says the banking system is stable and healthy. stuart: that did it. why you're up 8% on first republic. getty images. susan: buyout offer. no wrong ticker you have up there. they're surging today about 40%. activist investor trilium capital offered to buy shares it did not already own $10 each

which is 98% premium to the closing price on friday. stuart: who knew there was so much money with getty images. lauren: photos of celebrity and famous people like you on the internet. you have to pay for them. stuart: president biden opened a backdoor to allow hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants to come into the u.s. title 42 set to expire which would surely encourage another surge. details on both. the state department refusing to ask questions about secretary blinken's role in discrediting the biden laptop story. kt mcfarland says it is clear this was deliberate election interference. kt on the show later. stuart: thousands of americans are asked to shelter in place as a brutal civil war raging in sudan. we have the latest on that for you after this. ♪. ♪

stuart: all right. almost, what 90 minutes into the business, into the business so far today, this monday morning. there isn't that much movement on wall street. dow is up 40. nasdaq down five. look who is here now, kt mcfarland is with us. kt, seems like antony blinken was the one covering up the hunter biden laptop story. does this affect his work now as secretary of state? >> well, you would think, yes, because he should be discredited on integrity grounds. the fact he has been so incompetent it is hard to think it gets much worse. he is the secretary of state will preside over america slipping to less than superpower status. the chinese global world order will take mace on antony blinken's watch. but if you think about what these guys were doing, so antony blinken, former obama

administration official, biden administration hopeful official, he organizes an election interference campaign using the former, senior most intelligence officials of the united states, organizes them to sign up to something which they all knew was a complete lie and fabrication because they were all looking for jobs in the next administration. to me this is, this is the deep state run amok. these people were all willing to sacrifice their integrity at the ault tear of their own personal ambition. and if this, if they get away with it, they got a way with it, remember in 2016 with the russia hoax, election interference, claiming that the russians interfered with the election. now they get away with it again in the 2020 election where they claim the hunter biden laptop was nothing to see here, again russian disinformation. you have to wonder if these people are not held accountable for this, what will they do in the next election? what is the plan again? how will they work with the deep state, the media, democrats to

make sure president biden wins re-election? stuart: has susan rice have anything to do with this? it was announced this morning she is leaving the white house at the end of the month? what will she do with it? >> susan rice was in the bam administration, everyone thought would be the secretary of state in obama's second term. she couldn't be because of the whole benghazi, remember the benghazi affair, she was really called out for her incompetence. so the obama administration leaves. the biden administration comes in. they want a role for susan rice, in part because she probably had a lot to do with the russia hoax, you know, in the previous administration. what do they do? they don't give her a job which requires senate confirmation. they knew she would have a hard time. they make her a senior white house advisor. fast forward to a second biden term, if he has it what is likely to happen to susan rice? if democrats control the senate i think it is highly likely they

will nominate her for secretary of something or other, secretary of state, some other high government confirmed position. stuart: what a dreadful series of failed policy moves. actually on foreign policy the european foreign policy chief wants members, europeans, navies, to send warships to patrol the taiwan strait. why are they saying this now? >> okay, so here is the significance of that. the taiwan straight is 180 kilometers wide. it is international waterways vessels, commercial vessels, fishing vessels, military vessels any country in the world have access. say thing with planes flying over taiwan strait. china says no this is not inthis international waterway we control mainland china and the 180 kilometers between the two. the european union is tacking,

maybe the european union doesn't have navy or army. it is an economic unit. what the leader says we want our member-states to send their own navies through the 180-kilometer waterway. we want to preserve the notion this is international waterway through which any country can go. it is not owned by the chinese. china is trying to chip away all that, either by intimidation, telling countries don't send your vessels in, strafing them when they come too near, aircraft come too near the region. china by hook or crook to claim that internal chinese territory. then it makings their acquisition of taiwan by intimidation, envision or some kind of military or economic action far easier for china. stuart: understood. >> once china controls taiwan, china controls the world economy because taiwan makes 97% of our chips. it is the south china sea. it is the most important maritime trade route in the world and if china controls all of that, as joe biden would say, game over.

stuart: there is a brutal civil war raging in sudan. can you give me 30 seconds what is america's interest in that conflict? >> well we have 19,000 american citizens there who have been left. stuart: yep. >> have not been evacuated. it's brutal civil war. how do we get our citizens out? the military left of the diplomats left. nobody is there to save americans. russia and china want to take over that part of africa, horn of africa, because it allows them to have enormous influence of oil and the trade route of strait of hormuz, that part of the middle east. stuart: antony blinken is the secretary of state. there you go. kt mcfarland, thank you very much indeed. president biden opened a backdoor to allow hundreds of thousands of new migrants into the united states. ashley is back with us this morning. what new measures are we talking about, ash? ashley: morning, stu, the biden administration expanding the use of humanitarian parole programs for people escaping war and

political turmoil around the world. the measures offer immigrants the opportunity to fly to the united states and quickly secure work papers provided they have a private sponsor to take responsibility for them. by the end of this year about 360,000 venezuelans, cubans, nicaraguans and haitians are expected to gained a mission through a similar plan. the administration by the way is also greatly expanded the number of people who are in the united states with what is known as temporary protected status. about 670,000 people from 16 countries have had their protections extended. now all of this, as we have news of a new migrant caravan with about 3,000 migrants moving in order through mexico, made up mostly of venezuelans but also including people from china and other asian countries. they are heading towards the united states. stu. stuart: ash. the outgoing chicago mayor, lori

>> for media that is huge, huge challenge. so many in the industry would be first, rather than get it right. they go right ahead, saw it online, millions of people watched it, it must be true. we as a news organization and others have to be careful, authenticate, right? get it right but you don't have to get it first. lauren: i also think it keeps our jobs safe from the a.i. takeover, right? stuart: i suppose so. lauren: we need to be able to vet all of that. maybe we take more time to do so. >> you are real, lauren? this is you? lauren: this is me. i don't know. stuart: three of us we have done so much television in our time, so of video tape of us out there, a computer could get ahold of videotape, chop it all up, introduced a.i., make us say things outrageous, all three of us anytime. >> joe rogan put out video of his a.i. self. sounded just like him. looked like him. why wouldn't this happen in the political arena. remember, a.i. is growing so fast, it will be 10 times than

a possible announcement for his re-election bid. he wants his base to focus on the fact that he is forcing this transition in the economy. in fact the latest "fox news" polling shows as you said, climate change ranks 12th on the list. we've shortened it here but climate change is behind inflation and higher prices, higher crime rates what is being taught in school, even gun laws. some democrats worry that the blinders this administration has put on related to the transition to economic electric vehicles will bankrupt the economy. >> you're going to bust the budget and that is the problem i'm seeing. why in the hell are we totally committed to go further and further in debt, not having to? >> reporter: meanwhile the bureau of labor statistics shows data electricity prices jumped 23.6% from the month president biden took office until today. in addition to the taxpayer money being spent, energy secretary granholm saying new regulations are not targeting

gas cars. >> the the administration through the epa is trying to reduce emissions, and emissions can be best reduced would be electrification. might be through battery, might be through fuel cell, there is not any effort to ban internal combustion engine vehicles. >> reporter: americans are looking to see what actually happens, not what folks are are saying from the administration and bottom line is. they're seeing prices for energy, gas, electricity all going up. back to you, stu. stuart: precisely, edward, thank you very much indeed. we have a new study, markups at car dealerships added significantly to inflation. i'm interested in that. tell me more, ashley. ashley: yeah according to the u.s. bureau of labor statistics markups to new cars, .3, .7% 16%

rise in consumer price index between the end of 2019 and end of last year, 2022. auto demand surged after customers got stimulus checks. supply chain problems pushed the prices sky-high. the report says car increases were a factor in the inflation spike but not everyone agrees. national automobile dealers association calls it absurd. inflation is driven by market forces that include many players, not just one group. saying by that logic every consumer who sold or traded in a used vehicle for a profit also contributed and were responsible for inflation. stu. stuart: on that subject of inflation, we know that tampa, this is few months ago, tampa had the highest inflation rate in the nation. does tampa still have the highest inflation rate in the nation? >> almost. it is right up there. it is number two. tell you what number one is, but

currently stands at right around 8.8%. there is a big reason why it is so high. according to the labor department people escaping those pricey cities are driving up housing costs. this is the problem. in fact if you exclude housing and rent costs tampa's price increases nearly as cool as in minneapolis at 3.6%. but the trend is clear, we've seen it before, people migrating from high cost areas like the northeast, moving to sunbelt cities, warmer weather, more jobs. bringing higher prices with them. while tampa has seen higher inflation, it actually trails phoenix that registered a whopping 8.9% increase in february over the prior year. the irony of course, some of the lowest inflation rates in the country are in pricey southern california. why? because so many people have left, the prices have come down. that tells the story right there, stu. stuart: certainly did. how about that? thanks, ash, i like that story. the mayor of new york city says

laws recently in some form or another preventing minors to get medical intervention to change the assignment at birth. most laws are so new they won't take effect this year or next. states of washington and oregon are moving in the opposite direction. not essentially making all transgender services the right for all kids, allowing kids as young as 15 years old to shut their parents out of the process n washington state, teens can run away from home, go to a shelter, say they're transgender there is no obligation that the state will contact their parents. the sponsor says it is about the kids safety. >> they want them in a safe stable environment with adult supervision ultimately reconnect to the family. >> reporter: parents can be kept from the children even if there is no proof other allegation of neglect. in oregon, the bill requires insurance companies to pay for transgender procedures, hair

electrolysis, mastectomy, even bottom surgeries for teens. >> for the state to insert itself between parents and children who are having these kinds of very natural and normal disagreements throughout adolescence is very, very dangerous situation. >> reporter: washington state bill is awaiting the governor's signature. the oregon bill is expected to pass and become law in the coming weeks. stuart. stuart: thanks very much indeed. dan springer right there. look at this headline, it reads, diversity, equity inclusion, dei, has gone to the dogs as schools train fido's vet to be woke, end quote. how about that? bill jacobsen professor at cornell's law school and he wrote it. he joins me now. why is crt being used in the training of veterinarians, professor. >> that is a great question. we track at critical race.org,

my website across higher education, medical schools, military academies this is idealogical power play. taking something that should be free of ideology which is caring your pet, injecting racial group identity into it. it is pervasive across the top veterinary schools. stuart: what on earth has racial theory got to do with your dog? >> it has nothing to do with pet care and that is the whole point. this has nothing to do with taking better care of your pets. it has to do with imposing a political structure on education which is something we've seen almost everywhere in the country. so one thing has nothing to do with the other. it is a pure idealogically power play and it is pervasive in veterinary medicine now. stuart: what does crt say about the relationship between a doctor and patient? are they trying to insert themselves to insist that, a doctor relates to a black patient differently from a white patient? is that what they're talking

about? >> well in medical schools that's right. that is what the claim is. the claim is that until your doctor is someone who shares your skin color you will not get the proper care. we know that is ridiculous, not true. it becomes truly absurd when it applies to taking care of pets. the dog, cat, guinea pig, couldn't care less about the ideology of the veterinarian, much less the veterinarian skin color or other, you know, physical attributes. it takes the, you know, negative consequences of crt in education to an absurd level. stuart: can you graduate from one of these medical schools if you don't necessarily agree with crt? >> well you have got to go along to get along. you have to keep your mouth shut. you can't buck it. for example, at the university of pennsylvania vet school they embed this into the core curriculum. 20 hours of training on this in your first and second years of veterinary school. so you have to go along.

it is a completely coercive environment. stuart: are we being pushed into the black doctors treat patients, whoo doctors treat white patients is that where we're going here? >> actually, if you read what they say, that is where we're going. medical schools apart from the veterinary schools we have covered extensively and that is exactly what is happening. they're arguing that black patients should have black doctors, they get better results. there is no real evidence of that but that is exactly where this pernicious ideology is heading. stuart: is it expanding in our universities? is there some pushback beginning to literally push it back a little? >> well, there is pushback but there is enormous bureaucracies and enormous money behind this. there are, the medical associations and veterinary associations, professional associations, are advocating for this. it is working its way into the

accreditors. you have to have certain teaching if your school will be accredited. yes there is pushback. there is publicity bit, but people should not kid themselves, this is deeply embedded in the bureaucracy in medical schools and now veterinary schools. stuart: professor bill jacobsen, please do not be a stranger to the program. we want to hear what you have to say. >> thank you very much. stuart: markets as we head toward the 11:00 hour, nasdaq up 12, dow down 60. dow winners, top performer there is caterpillar. the s&p 500 winners who is the top performer there? it is first repun. republic. they report after the bell, they're already up 123%. nasdaq winners -- 12%. there is ebay one 1 1/2%. heed on the the show poll hemingway, steve forbes, joe borelli. we now know secretary of state antony blinken helped
