i'd have known. lauren: it's the tribute to the reelection. finish what you've started. stuart: producers, that's a stretch but we'll take it an anyway. april 25th, all day as my dear mother would day. down about 50 on the dow and 100 on the nasdaq. big tech, we're all waiting for alphabet and microsoft, they report later this afternoon. in the meantime they're all down except for apple, which is up all of seven-cents. as for the 10-year treasury yield, it's down to 3.41%. i think that's the lowest in six weeks, eight weeks, but it's way down there. 341 on the 10 year, how about that? all right, folks, now this. white house rose garden honoring the teacher of the year and the president said "there's no such thing as someone else's child. hour nation's children are all our children". how do you like the sound of that? what does he mean? we give our children to the

state to bring up? no thank you. what the president said about the children speaks volumes about his politics. he's a government gu and wants o transform our whole society by force, not the vote. okay, that's strong stuff but it's accurate. did we get to vote on the takeover? entire auto industry? that's what he's done. you won't be allowed to buy a gas powered car. did you vote for that? no, you didn't. did you vote to end the energy independence, no, you did not. what about the energy agent that will inspect your house under the green new deal. no, you will not. biden introduced the state to get his way and bureaucrats lay down the law and telling you which car to buy and which kitchen appliances are okay and the values your children learn in school, even where you can invest nor mention money. we newsed to be a society of individuals, now we're part of the great collective and biden transformed our society and it'll take a long time and some

real leadership to get america back to the way it ought to be. third hour of varney starts right now. stuart: jimmy failla is with us here in new york city today. yeah, there he is. jimmy. biden's announcement today he's running in 2024 -- >> yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. stuart: just proceed from there. two things, i'm so dis-ed a pointed in my administration. i'd run against them if it wasn't for a thing called background check. jimmy failla announced and quit today. it was crazy. they're giving him a lot of heat because it looks weak to re-announce via video. traditionally you want the optics of a big crowd room of enthusiasm but there's two problems there. there's not a lot of enthusiasm and 70% of americans don't want

this. imagine that. looking at politics as a restaurant, we're yelling fire the chef and they're responding with bigger portions. it doesn't work, you dig? the only place i'll defend bide season that, you know, we're saying you did this empty video in a studio but every room is crowded if you see invideoable people for all -- invisible people so for all we know there were 5,000 screaming people in there. i was very underhelmed with the announcement. lauren: it was well produced. jaire yeah, but he was minimized in the video and so many images that weren't joe bind, okay. you saw america, you saw voters. an awful lot of january 6. stuart: kamala harris. there's a lot of kamala harris in there. is that a good thing? another six years as biden as president and vice president just waiting? >> i can't do another six hours. if you look at it like uber, if

80% of the country thinks we're headed in the wrong direction, we've gotten into an uber xl and eight are con vinessed the driver is going down a one way. the other two people are as drunk as he is or either way we've got to pull over. the country is not happy with the direction we're going in. stuart: that was an interesting analogy. >> i went there. i went there. stuart: i'm going to completely change the subject -- >> for our own good. stuart: this is for you. environmentalists across the country are pushing for no mow may. they want people to stop mowing their lawns during the entire month. it's to support bees and pollination. a writer in the washington post and i'min "quoting now"mooing grass too short can cut the tops off plants that are inhabitable for pollinators". >> the guy behind this has been smoking the grass, not cutting it.

it was the stupidest thing i've heard and we're fighting so many of the rock battles and i think some of my neighbors are observing this whether it's political activism or not mowing their lawns. stuart: don't mow and get dandelions and property values go down. thought of that? >> that's the thing. when you look at this on the left as collective that they do, they'd be mindful of the impact you'd have on your neighbor's property. but, no, that's the hypocrisy of it all. stuart: do you have a lawn? >> syner i do. stuart: do you mow it? >> no, my wife grew up on a farm and loves yard work and my neighbors are macho and my wife is trimming hedges and that's what i grew up with. i married a woman that grew up on a dare farm and didn't know how much better she can do. she sold low. stuart: are you in new jersey? >> long island man. stuart: that explains a lot.

lauren: we're italian neighbors. stuart: you're all smiles in the morning. we appreciate it. >> that's my job. stuart: let's get to mike murphy and he's not going to make us smile but he might give us good news here. murph, you're with me for the hour and let's start with this. where's the lanes in allen park in this market? >> leadership is going to come. you'll see it today, stuart, from big tech. you're not going to get leadership -- stuart: good, you're cheering me up. >> the consumer names and bank names, decent earnings but not going to give up the leadership to take the market to new heights and we've been holding our levels here we need and in order to break out and get up to new highs, it'll be big tech and hear from microsoft and google today. they'll set it off. we need that leadership. stuart: you think it's going to be good? >> i expect the quarter for them to be good to very good. but now we need all of them collectively to get bids and

apple is up and microsoft is up and big tech companies announce earnings and what makes people take money out of either cash or other positions and put it into big tech? we need solid growth numbers and we need solid projections for the rest of the year. if we get that, money comes in and at new highs. stuart: if we don't get it, then what? >> we're back in this range we've been in. that's why i like this set up. if it doesn't come out good for some reason, we're back in this s&p 4000 range we've been plus or minus ten points of. in we get good numbers, we'll break out to the upside. stuart: quick word of advice for the viewers, listen to the call. the earnings report looks back and the call looks forward. >> absolutely. always. stuart: that's what you look at? >> yes, sir. stuart: do you expect the call to be good? >> i do because what's happen asking a very tough environment and the ceos and the people running these big tech companies and all of the companies look at what you heard from mcdonalds and pepsi, these people are figuring out how to maximize

shareholder value in this tough environment. so as things get better, you saw the 10-year yield is dropping, you noticed that today. stuart: yep. >> we get a more favorable environment, these companies that are figuring out they're linking people off and figuring out how to make money in the current environment and things get better and increased profits to the bottom line and increased earnings and share price. stuart: look at 10 year yield at 342ed ad up to the downside. it's a nice situation. lauren is back and looking at movers and talk about first republic and they were way down. lauren: down over 90%, down 28%. deposit's light and down over 40% in the quarter to $104 billion taken out even with a $30 billion lifeline. imagine that and cutting a quarter of their staff this quarter, didn't even make the stock go up. stuart: poor performance by that regional bank and not setting it

off. lauren: no, no banking jitters and seems that the banking crisis of confidence is somewhat contained. we also got new home sales and consumer confidence that would have echoed our concerns about a banking crisis. didn't really see solid evidence of that. stuart: got it. i want to talk about spotify and they signed an enormous number of new listeners who pay. lauren: yeah, stronger first quarter and 515 million active users up 22% on the year. we'll take it. that overshadows the soft admins. >> do you listen to podcasts? stuart: no. >> if you want to listen to a lot of top podcasts and the only place to listen is spotify. a lot of people getting information from podcasts and driving a lot of users to spotify's platform. lauren: did you listen to drake and the weeknd. fake song. ai create it had and spotify played it 800,000 and they had to pull because of copyright

infos and the call addressed the problem with ai. that was monumental when i read that he addressed how ai and copyright issues are impacting music, podcasts, entertainment. stuart: i can see it. tell me about general motors. lauren: no price cuts. they're not competing with tesla on that account and stock down 2%. they raised profit outlook for the year because they said, hey, customers are paying more for our high end models working out for now and they said they're killing off the chevy bolt. the ev. their first mainstream ev because there's better batteries now. stuart: okay, long time since i bought into a car company and long time before i do as well. new research -- here we go. another research thing. suggests that eating too many french fries could lead to anxiety and depression. put me down as being a skeptic but i'll ask doc siegle about it. how about this, a target store in san francisco locking up almost everything behind glass

of them mysteriously returned without any payment. what's going on, ash? ashley: i don't know. twitter isn't saying anything and other high twitter users being verified by the social media platform and the kicker they don't know why their but checks have reappeared and they don't seem very happy about it. well, twitter had removed those blue marks last week from accounts that don't pay a monthly fee. but now that the check marks mysteriously returned for many highly followed accounts over the weekend this happened, and that prompted many of those account holders to make it clear, hey, they didn't pay to get their blue check back. now those who chimed in included mit, the massachusetts institute of technology, actor bette midler and little nas x. twitter may have broken a federal law by implying the blue check was paid for and endorsed by the account holder when they

didn't. as i say, there's been no comment from twitter. stu. stuart: i'm going to move on. elon musk spacex won approval for fifth launch site in america. where is it going to be, ash, because the last launch in texas really upset the locals with all the dust that covered their town. ashley: yes, and debris and new lease granted to spacex and vandeberg space force base north of la where the space company operates another launch pad and justed aing to its presence there. that means that musk's space company now has two launch sites at vandeberg, two others in florida and, yes, that private star base site in south texas. the new launch site was vacated last year by boeing joint venture launch alliance and will give spacex more room to handle a very busy launch schedule for

commercial government and other satellite launches and by the way to your point, stu, spacex's mega rocket that exploded last week shortly after takeoff in texas, it left a big impression. literally in the form of a large crater at the launch site. the most powerful rocket ever built not only damaged some infrastructure but also to your point sent sand and soil reigning down on a -- raining down on a nearby town and they weren't very happy about it. stuart: i remember that. thanks, ash. elon musk wants to send people to marc mars on that rocket. could that happen soon? is that a question for mike murphy or ashley? it's for mike nur fio. >> after seeing that lawn, i don't think it's happening any time very soon and people will want to see a lot more safe launches before anyone signs up to get on that and that's a distant future and great that elon musk is striving for something and achieving so much

things that people dent know we could achieve. stuart: you didn't know that question was coming at you and comes out of the blue and he's prepped really well. >> that's why you pay me the big bucks. stuart: i do, i pay you a small fortune. check that market and the dow is down all of 24 points and nasdaq down 86 and some red inc on the left side of the screen. big tech only winner amongst the big 5 is apple up all of 29-cents and rest are down. check out retailers, please. how are they doing and wal-mart up to $152 a share and nordstrom down and kohls is down and trouble there. target store in san francisco and the entire store almost every product is under lock and key. all right, lauren. this is becoming a theme in that city and it's because of crime, isn't it? lauren: few consequences for criminals. how do you shop like that when

the entire aisle looking at this video and everything is locked up behind glass at this target in san francisco. it's the tooth paste and soup and i like to compare before i make a purchase. organized retail crime in san francisco second worse behind la and they're highing new security guards and using new tech to keep the thieves out and it's not working. finance chief estimates hundreds of millions of dollars in profits will be lost to he's and the first months of this year, nearly 14,000 cases of theft including motor vehicle theft in san francisco. these numbers are on par with recent years. how are nay not spiking? crime has to be reported to be recorded and people aren't bothering anymore and many people in the community feel unsafe.

>> as a former peace officer myself, i don't feel safe if the city anymore and we're fending for ourselves out here and it's terrible. lauren: i spoke to a guy that just days ago after 20 years sold his bar and restaurant in a nice part of san francisco because he lost money for 24 months in a row. one of the reasons he wasn't getting patrons is because people that live maybe 20, 30 minutes away would drive in and they stopped because they were afraid to park their car on the street because of carjackings and someone else has a popular bar and what's going on inside there? organized cell phone theft. it's so brazen and people are going around and taking people's cell phones and stealing them. stuart: just like that? >> in nice parts of san francisco also. stuart: good stuff. my next guest says california's spike in homelessness and drug abuse is the result of prop 47 and sheriff chad bianco joins me

now. sheriff, let's spell this out. how did prop 47, passed in 2014, how did it increase drug abuse and homelessness? >> it did. well, from the very beginning, first it was sold to us as safe streets and safe schools initiative and that's why voters voted for it because that's common sense. of course we all want those, but the reality of that bill, that law, is that it basically de-criminalizes a whole bunch of felonies and made them misdemeanors particularly all drug use. so with prop 47 and making all drug use and drug position posss felonies and used to be felonies and making them misdemeanors and absolutely no consequence of using drugs and you don't get tickets anymore and the -- to sign a ticket and say go appear in court. if you don't show up to court, you just get another ticket to appear in court again. it's just a revolving door of

just police officers writing tickets so eventually we get to a point where we don't write tickets anymore. stuart: are you allowed to move the homeless? is a police officer allowed to walk down the street and say you have no right to be here, out. can you say that? >> that's a yes and a no. there's a lot of city municipal codes that tell us we can't in some places and some cities have allowed us to do it. there was the supreme court ruling that said they're allowed to live in public but now cities are making different odder naming nantess that say during the time you can't be -- ordnances that say during the daytime can't be on a public street or sidewalk ora or roadwn the daytime and they're all trying to fix and now putting band-aids on them instead of repealing or fixing them. just walk into any downtown area and see that everything that the

government is doing now is failing. stuart: we have to leave it there. everything the government is doing is completely failing. sheriff chad bianco, thank you for joining us sir. always appreciate it. come back soon. children, kids and teens now need a chaperon to visit an amusement park in california. we'll have a hotter. hiring a nurse as easy as calling an uber and some are turning to apps to fill ho holen their schedule. ashleys that ha tourist and he's next. that story and he's next. and i remember kind of thinking like,

stuart: markets this morning. i see some selling and dow down 94 and nasdaq down 100, modest losses. susan is back and ready looking at tesla. susan: yeah, race to zero. if elon musk and tesla now dropping the base model y to just a little bit under $47,000. that makes the model y $700 cheaper than the average car and truck here in the u.s. and, yes, that includes traditional gas,

combustion cars and other ev makers and musk is trying to kill off competition by cutting prices and no other car maker kept prices this dramatically on best selling models like musk. it's $20,000 cheaper for the model y than the middle of last year and best selling ev in the u.s. last year and model ys made up 90% of tesla and model 3s in the first quarter and other car makers like ford ceo said musk is trying to drive out other competitors in the price war he's engaging in and the tesla stock had its worst day since october last week because when you cut prices this dramatically and sub20% because of the six discounts they've seen. stuart: what are the earnings reports and there's a lot of them today and this week. what are the earnings reports telling us about this consumer? susan: what does it mean for the u.s. consumer and for the u.s.

economy? to me it looks like consumer remains strong. pepsi raising full year guidance on a better start to the year because they were able to raise prices to cover inflation and then volume sales still went up. starbucks on pepsi and coke results and starbucks putting in good numbers as long with mcdonalds and kimberly clark and kleenex, toilet paper and huggie's maker and this stock hit a one year high on better earnings also raising their profit outlook and just like proctor & gamble and nestle did, they raised by 10 bernards healthcares and sales went up in the first three months. stuart: i think yesterday we were talking about c3ai and pulled back yesterday. susan: outperforming today in a down market. stuart: back again. susan: c3ai and more of a cybersecurity company and the benefits of that ticker symbol of ai and new u.s. air force contract and providing simonetti system analytics there and

tonight -- system analyst lytics and -- analytics and sure you're building out ai and how much is it costing you and what's the cost and has it gone up and are you making enough money to cover that? stuart: microsoft dropping below 280 this morning and see how it performs this afternoon. susan, great stuff. thank you very much indeed. hospitals around the country trying to use -- they are using an app to deal with a nursing shortage. ashley, why is it being referred to as the uber for nurses? how's it work? ashley: it's part of the gig economy. one healthcare company called gail offers an app that matches nurses to healthcare facilities through realtime software. this company has 62,000rns in 40 states already signed up who can take shifts once they are posted. it's one way to address a nursing shortage crisis. according to research, the total supply of rns decreased by more than 100,000 from 2020-2021.

that's the biggest drop in 40 years. by 2025 just around the corner, the nursing deficit could reach 450,000. >> it's getting worse every single day and for the next 30 years, it'll get worse every day. what it is we're driving towards the grand canyon and every day we get faster heading to that cliff. system of articulation ashley: yeah, pretty dire. why is there a shortage of nurses. research points to several factors, turnover has been high among nurses but it was made a whole lot worse by the strain of the covid pandemic, burnout, lack of staff means higher patient to nurse ratios that leads to stress and job dis-stacks. a large number of nurses are re--- dissatisfaction and we're expect ago wave of retirements over the next 15 years and america is aging as well and it's predicted by 2034, older adults will outnumber children for the very first time in u.s. history and demand for nurses will be even greater, and

there's a lack of qualified teachers at medical schools meaning thousands of potentially qualified nursing students are being turned away. >> we fix it as we get more people trained and more courses and take these abandoned malls and turn them into healthcare training centers. where's the silicon valley of healthcare training? i don't know. why don't we create it? ashley: sounds like a good idea. there was already a nursing shortage, no doubt, but covid helped to push it over the edge. that could have consequences for all of us as a lack of medical professionals could lead to a drop in the quality of patient care. anyone wanting to get into healthcare right now, there's lots of jobs to be had, stu. stuart: got t thanks so much, ash. a common sleeping pill may help the battle against alzheimer. dr. sighing el is with us this -- dr. sighing el siegle i-

dr. siegle is with us this morning. how does it work? >> it's a pill called belsomera made by merck and on the market since 2014 and works by blocking a chemical that keeps you awake. if you block that chemical like balsomera does, you go to sleep. that's how simple the pill .s what's interesting, stuart, when you're asleep, you know what goes on in your brain? there's a vacuum cleaner effect going on. the garbage that you build -- garbage that you pi build up dug the day and side products to get rid of and gets swept out into the final floor and the problem is if you're not sleeping and this pill was studied over two days and found that some of the abnormal proteins you see and didn't get good sleep and got

the pill we were getting rid of it faster. i don't know if it's unique to this pill, but i like the idea that we're associating more sleep with less progression of neurodegenerative diseases in the brain. you're fascinated by this but as i always tell you, you haven't lost a neuron but sleep is key to staying mentally keen as you get older. stuart: i do eight hours of sleep a night, sometimes nine. even ten is not out of the question. it's doing me good. anyway, i got to turn to a different souct. >> it shows. stuart: thank you very much. okay. i can't believe this. new research shows french fries can lead to anxiety and depression. good lord. come on, dr. this is a study from china. i'm totally skeptical and hope you are too. >> i'm skeptical about which is the chicken and which is the egg here touchdown catch so-to-speak. it's 140,000 people studied over 11 years and it's published in a really good journal, proceedings

of national academy of science but which is which? when people are depressed and they found 12% of increase in anxiety and ate a lot of french fries and 7% increase in for example. wait a minute, aren't they doing that because they're depressed? isn't that comfort food? it's not like the french fries are causing depression but you go to that when you're feel stressed. those french fries taste great and had fish and chips on the other side of the pond and made me feel great. i don't think it made me depressed and they got the chicken and egg reversed here. people that are depressed are looking for comfort food and that happened more and more during the pandemic, stuart. stuart: the original comfort food, the original take away food is fish and chips in england for the last 200 years. doctor, great reporting on belsoma and french fries. good stuff today. thank you very much, doctor. see you soon. >> thank you, stuart.

does that make sense? reporter: yeah, stuart, that double standard is not lost on smokers or business owners want it's hard to imagine a counter like in not including tobacco but that could be the case in the very near future. this all comes from a new york department of health survey that was sent out to government officials asking if they would support a policy that would end the sale of all tobacco products in new york. the president of new york association of convenient stores like this one tells us a question regarding on all out ban has never been included in the survey and it goes out approximately every two years and we wanted to hear from customers to see their reaction to this. >> banning tobacco all together is inconsider rate for people that -- inconsiderate for people that use it for stress. >> i still smoke so i'd go to new jersey. >> i support this ban because no kids should have any type of contact with any type of

cigarettes. reporter: so the challenge for retailers is that tobacco would be legal nationwide and you heard from the second gentlemen that said he'd go to new jersey. this would send smokers potentially to other states or to the illegal market and that's already a huge problem in new york city. it's estimated that anywhere from 50-70% of cigarettes sold in new york city are ill meaning they haven't been stamped in new york or taxed here and that's a huge issue and we talk to retailer loose the ones here and these shoppers coming in for tobacco, they're not just buying tobacco and that would be a huge problem. take a listen. >> cigarette customers not just a cigarette customer. they buy everything else in our store so to lose 25% of that and all the ancillary sales that go along with the tobacco sales would be a significant impact on our business and every other convenient store retailer in the state of new york.

reporter: the survey does not indicate whether or not they support the policies polled and that the survey serves as a toll tool for public health policy. it's open till june and we might see some response and action after that but for now, they're still being sold and obviously this would have a huge impact not just on businesses but residents and this would be the first state to make such a drastic move. stuart. stuart: drive tobacco out and bring on weed. what's wrong with that? thanks, madison. good stuff. see you again. now san francisco school district is suing the tobacco company altria. ashley, this is about vapeing? ashley: yes, it is, stu. a lawyer for san francisco's public school system claims altir helped e cigarette company juul labs create a crisis of vapeing addiction among teenagers. the school district accused altira hooking a whole new generation of young people on nicotine in court.

but a lawyer told jurors that the company, that was a major investor in juul, had aimed to boost sales among cigarette smokers, adult cigarette smokers seeking a less harmful option, not among teens. the school district came back saying that vapeing has become rampant among students and altria said they wouldn't have got fda approval if they were marketing to teens. that argument goes on in court. stuart: a theme park near san francisco and it's introduced a chaperon policy. all right. what are the rules and why are they doing it? ashley: yeah, great american amusement park, santa clara in the bay area and updated code of conduct and all guests 15 and under must be accompanied by a adult over the age of 21 to remain in the park after 4:00 p.m.. the move comes as part of a larger trend to stop increasing report of youth violence in the bay area since the start of the covid pandemic. recent incidents include brawls

at san francisco shopping center and violent behavior among young people in schools and on public transportation. each chaperon by the way must carry a valid government issued id and can accompany a maximum of 10 youth guests per day and seems like a lot to me. and be available by phone throughout the day. hoping to cut down on all this behavior seen on the other side of the screen. stu. stuart: good luck. we'll leave it right l. a florida restaurant chain deleted bud light from their menus. they say the brand's partnership with dylan mulvaney goes against their biblical faith. but they're also saying they're not trans-phobic. the owner of the restaurant change joins me after this. ♪

square and there are. new york city. a florida restaurant stopped serving bud light and it's about the controversy of a trans-activist on the cans. bud's partnership with dylan mulvaney is in direct opposition to our biblical faith, the owner says. grill's inner joins me now. joe, if you stop serving bud light because of dylan mulvaney, are you going to be accused of being trans-phobic. are you trans-phobic? >> no, certainly not, stuart. thanks for having us on. yeah, it's been a terrible week. it's been actually a couple of weeks now, probably the most difficult two weeks we've experienced in our life in this industry. stuart: why? why is it the most difficult?

>> anheuser bush held a social knife over all of our heads here and they drop it had very irresponsibly. it threw us into turmoil by standing on our biblical faith it put us at odds with other people that didn't stake that stance and that brought us into hell on earth and put my 500 employees into slander and name calling, and it's done damage to our organization, it's caused major key, beloved employees to resign from the heat. i just hope there's somebody a lot smarter than me that can somehow make this corporation responsible for either what was just an unbelievably stupid marketing campaign, or something a lot different. stuart: would you consider withdrawing your problem and serving bud light again. would you consider doing that?

>> no, you know. here's the problem; right, stuart, when bud light chose to put dylan mulvaney on their can, that forever elmore blazenned that image -- emblazenned that image on our minds and that's how marketing works. i'd forever be a co-marketer and the promoter of that and i don't believe in that. i have choice moving forward at this point no matter what they do. their walk back has been pathetic, and i wouldn't believe anything they say at this point. but there's no going back for us just because of what they intend to have us co-market with them. stuart: joe, you've told us your story and we're very interested in it. we want to thank you very much for appearing on the show today to tell us your story and tell us what's going on. your restaurant, grills restaurant. thanks for being with us. we want to talk to you again at some point in the future and how things are going and what decisions you've made.
