and i remember kind of thinking like, "oh my gosh, i think we could be sisters." because i think we looked... yes. right. yeah. and i don't think at that time- i think you're the one to tell me that we had the same birthday. yes. it's really unbelievable when you think about it, because it's been, like, really over 20 years that you were my mother and father's banker, you became my banker and now fran is in her third year of college and you're her banker. it's so unbelievable because i'm just 20 years old. [laughing] stuart: i knew that was a dell. i love that voice. that is crystal clear. that building on the left-hand

side of the screen. it is 10:00 eastern. to the money please. we turned around, opened lower. the dow is up 30 one points, fractional gain for the s&p, nasdaq down 28 points. big tech a mixed picture after recent big rally. microsoft is up again, to dollars, the rest of them, apple, meta, apple but on the downside. the 10 year treasury yield, where's that this morning? just below 3.5%. bitcoin at $28,000, we just made it to $29,017 a coin. this could move the market. the latest read on consumer sentiment just out. neil: final reading for april 63.5. same as the reading two weeks ago. stuart: i don't see a change in the markets. unchanged consumer sentiment. we still have the dow up 40 and the nasdaq down 30. now this.

it's time for the president to get real, perhaps i should say get honest is at the moment he's not passing the pinocchio test. again -- glenn kessler of the washington post awards pinocchios according to the degree of honesty or dishonesty. he has just awarded biden a bottomless pinocchio because biden endlessly claims to have cut the deficit why one. $7 trillion, that's not true yet he made the claim 30 times most recently during his reelection announcement. if only we could ask some questions. his bottomless pinocchio status could be challenged but as we saw from the cheat sheet only approved questions get answered. he sent his press secretary out to take the heat but she turns the president's spin into an insult. earlier this week she said republicans were fighting to put fentanyl on the street. this from an administration that is supposed to bring us together.

the good news it is not working. voters believed biden cut the deficit or controlled the border or kept fentanyl out or brought the country together he would be riding high in the polls but he's not. 's approval rating dropped to a new low. a mere 37%. i said the president should get real, get honest but can't see it happening. if he was honest on the economy, the deficit, the border, his deals with china, defund the police, he would be admitting to gross failure and not going to do that when you just announced for a second term. second hour of varney just warming up. stuart: all right. tammy bruce always with us on friday morning. wearing red. hope she's fiery today.

can biden afford to answer questions? >> he can and he can't. this would be remarkable movements for the country because president biden if he was honest, we see this happen before, where he seems surprised or has an answer for the far left and gets corrected and then climbs up. what is horrible about president biden is his cynicism. he's decided to go along with this. i believe he knows a lot of this is not renting care because he likes being president. it has to be a seductive office to hold and this is what you always imagined being for the last 50 years of your career so he sold out but he has sold out the country. he can't answer questions. they deluded themselves, they think we are okay so far. we are going to keep doing this and it is because they don't respect the american people.

they have contempt for the people, they lie to themselves, they lie to everyone else, look at the condition of the world, we lost effectively four embassies around the world, the economy has effectively collapsed, it's like a slow rolling collapse. you've got the border going to get worse with title 42 being over. it is a shocking turn of events and the american people, it's horrible to see the low approval rating but it is appropriate because of what is happening in the country. stuart: back to biden's cheat sheet, the white house called this cheat sheet entirely normal. watch this. >> it is entirely normal for president to be briefed on reporters will be asking questions or press conference, and issues they might ask about. it's not surprising that yesterday we would anticipate questions that he did receive, the visit with the south korean president. we don't have specific questions in advance. that's not something that we do. stuart: i'm not sure about this

entirely normal. my question is who is really the president of the united states? >> the constitution requires us to know that, so there can be repercussions if there's a problem but this is what the left tries to do, normalize the abnormal, normalized what way do not want so they can say this is normal. it might be typical for them but it is not normal. donald trump was always out there answering questions whatever what happens so americans have a recent example of how a president can and should operate and it is just they are telling us to not believe our lying eyes, we saw what happened and they continue to just roll on with the series of lies. we got a chance to change it. stuart: we do in a few months. always good, thanks very much. how about this one. if president biden is reelected he will be 86 by the end of his second term. what is nikki haley saying? neil: what a lot of people are

thinking but don't want to verbalize, that he likely won't make it and kamala harris will have to step in. >> if you vote for joe biden you are counting on a president harris because the idea that he would make it to 86 years old is not something i think is likely. lauren: she went there. if age is biden's number one liability, kamala is his second biggest liability. they are back on the ticket together again. democrats are going to have to get behind her and prop her up. i think they already are. washington post opinion writer says she is stellar on foreign policy. eugene robinson in the washington post. stuart: i've got to read that. lauren: i think you will start to see more positive comments about kamala harris and this image makeover for the american

people because of what we are thinking and an opponent just said. stuart: will work? lauren: i don't know. stuart: thanks for the political commentary. back to the markets. mike lee is with us, dow is up nearly 100 points and the nasdaq down only one point. is the big tech rally still running? >> in the short term, yes. part of the reason is because most people are in my camp, the economy is slowing, earnings estimates are too high, valuations are in no way, shape or form cheap. everyone is bearish. it is easy to push stocks higher if you want to play against that. it's much more difficult to be bearish in a market, difficulty bearish in a market like we are now where there is some uncertainty. there's a lot of liquidity out there pushing stocks higher. not to take away from the fact

that you've got good earnings from microsoft and google and facebook. stuart: i know a lot of people who've taken the advice to get out of the market, cash or treasury securities and now they feel left out like they missed out because we had a very nice rally at the nasdaq and that a lot of stocks too. do you feel the people you talk to are missing out? >> i'm never all the way out of the market. i'm all the way into the market. last year, all that outperformance, given up most of this year if not all of it. you tell me when interest rates are rising, recession on the horizon and stocks you have a stock like microsoft trading 30 times earnings, interest rates are 0 in the 10 year interest rates are 0 and the tenure interest rate is one. 5% the economy is expanding,

the fed balance sheet is expanding, that could make sense. right now it is a hard sell to get involved, week tech stocks got oversold as we saw some correction into that. it is process based, investment manager, fiduciary, hard to just chase things. i advise against people getting out all the way in. don't let that fear of missing out drive your investment decisions because it may work in the short run and feel good but over the long run you get your rear end handed to you. stuart: i like that expression. you are all right. see you again soon. looking at the movers. lauren: what is going to happen tonight? will there be a federal takeover? we don't know. it's been widely reported they want to private sector solution. will there be one?

how does the government entice private sector deal? stuart: good question. boston beer. >> stock is up 3% of the water loss, volume sells -- fell 7.6% but this is the maker of san adams. the smallest volume quarter of the year and we will redirect guidance going forward and investors are dismissing the bad performance and think things are okay going forward and see what's going on with the competitor, bud light and saying market share. stuart: bud light telling the story. first solar, what have we got? >> similar story. now first solar is looking at a deep-freeze in volume. stuart: i've been on about microsoft forever, particularly keen when it went up the last couple days. i think bill gates has made more money than i have. . to he's to billion dollars richer in the past 24 hours thanks to this amazing stock

rallied from microsoft. microsoft is a $2.2 trillion company. the net worth is estimated at $2 billion. . i don't think he cares about his net worth but he does own one% of microsoft. stuart: nobody on this planet -- he built it. i will agree -- lauren: one million dollars poorer today. we when he looks at the chance, sure he does. every day -- i don't know the guy. to do what? lauren: i can dream of that type of money. stuart: so to why. now this. white house chief of staff ron klain says sexism and racism are partly to blame for recent criticism of kamala harris. role it. >> why do you think sexism and racism are part of the problem? >> i think she just hasn't had the right -- she hasn't gotten credit for all she's done. stuart: not got the credit for

what she's done, what has she actually accomplished? we will be reporting on that. the irs, the agency wants to higher gun carrying special agents across the country. we've got details on that. the administration is setting up migrant processing centers, we went from catch and release to recruit and resettle. border guy tom homan sounds off next. ♪ sam who make...? ...everyday products... ...designed smarter. like a smart coffee grinder - that orders fresh beans for you. oh, genius! for more breakthroughs like that... ...i need a breakthrough card... like ours! with 2.5% cash back on purchases of $5,000 or more... plus unlimited 2% cash back on all other purchases! and with greater spending potential, sam can keep making smart ideas... ...a brilliant reality! the ink business premier card from chase for business. make more of what's yours.

we have -- to the border the administration announced a new plan to handle the influx of migrants ones title 42 ends in two weeks. nate foy in brownsville, texas, they are putting up processing centers in latin america. is that accurate? >> reporter: exactly right. that's part of the plan. the administer ration wants to expand legalized immigration but the plan comes too late for the migrants waiting to cross the border illegally when title 42 ends and we are seeing evidence of that in brownsville where every single days this week agents have processed 2,000 migrants. take a life look at our fox news drone, 300 more migrants starting their processing this morning, this has been happening every single day. what we are noticing today that is different is a lot more yardwork going on. look like they are expanding operations, getting ready for a

bigger surge leading to the end of title 42 or just cleaning up from all the migrants that have been here throughout the week but a city commissioner tells me they've never seen anything like this. look at this next video from el paso where the situation is even more dire. migrants are sleeping on the street already two weeks until title 42 ends lose they are outside shelters, estimated 35,000 migrants, we have new video showing how one of those migrants got into the country. look at this, just after crossing into el paso, the group helps the migrants slipped through a hole in the border fence, this is before border patrol gets there. he squeezes through to the other side, crosses the highway and runs away to avoid border authorities. we have new video of the texas dps chase. look at this video, the driver pulls up to the rio grande, jumps out and swings back to mexico. the illegal migrant in the car

did not run away it was apprehended. back out here live, border patrol police releasing new numbers in the last week, agents have apprehended over 51,000 migrants and that number expected to increase as we lead up to the end of title 42. stuart: that's a big number, 51,000. tom homan is our border guy, the border king actually. migrant processing centers in latin america, that just streamlines things doesn't it? speeds up the migration process. that is all we are doing here, right? >> that is what they are trying to do. a court case will be filed. everything they've done, they get sued but it is incredible that they don't care, they don't care, they've done it from day one. if you look at the numbers, the

data says 900 people who claim asylum never get released in new york - united states courts, they don't fear prosecution from government because of political affiliation, race or religion or ethnicity. they lose their case and are ordered removed. if they adjudicate these cases overseas and the number sticks do you think they put their hands up and say a nice day, they are coming anyway. not only is this program illegal, it is filled to overflowing, 30,000 in el paso is a little high. however, 15,000 in warrants coming across and in brownsville, numbers they've never seen before, they arrested 5,000 people in two days, haitians, unaccompanied alien children and in texas,

over one hundred chinese nationals from all over the world and most, the biggest thing i hear from several cpas, there is no plan. they are saying dhs has no plan, they are not there yet. there more row -- morale is in the whole already. this will overwhelm the more. of the when you talk about a surge that will overwhelm them even more, we are talking tens of thousands, suddenly two weeks from now. >> here's the problem. with the numbers as they are. 80% of pages are pooled on patrol to process. when you add to the number, more people come, that means more agents pulled off the line. not historic illegal immigration but when you pool more agents off-line, 8% already polled, more fentanyl gets across.

more gang members, higher trafficking for sexual trade and terrorists are watching and 178 million terrorists, they have one. 78 got aways, some of them will come from countries that sponsor terrorism. when they see this surgeons more agents pulled off the line god help us. this is the biggest national security failure since 9/11. stuart: glad you could jump onto the show this morning. thank you for being with us today. always appreciated. america appreciates yet. the irs posted job openings for special agents who could carry guns and make arrests. lauren: every state will have an irs agent that works in their criminal division. these are the job requirements carry a firearm, protect themselves or others from

physical attacks without warning and use firearms in life-threatening situations, must be willing to use force up to and including the use of deadly force. they do investigate financial crime, tax theft, money laundering, terrorist financing, so they are expected to be armed should they have to make an arrest or serve a warrant. stuart: just days ago, karine jean-pierre claimed republicans are, quote, fighting to put fentanyl on the street. democrats in california struck down a bill that would give harsh punishments to fentanyl drug dealers. we will follow that one. tech week in miami, the city was named the top spot for gins the tech workers. i will ask francis suarez why big tech is flocking to his city. ♪

stuart: on the market a complete turnaround. we opened lower and now we are nasdaq is up 55 points. if eli lilly is one of the movers, it is moving down, is that a diet drug thing? lauren: they are increasing price targets promising all timers drug. trials are looking promising. stuart: charter communications. lauren: he reported stronger sales, with presidential, stock is up 5%. stuart: the cable company doing well. residents in south florida could see their pay drop. lauren: $11.

thousands of workers affected in south florida if they work in major league baseball. florida has living wage ordinance. a contract with the state, you are required to pay more than the $11 minimum wage. i believe it is $15. businesses lobbied against that. they don't think it's fair and lawmakers put a bill forward to repeal the ordinance. new workers in certain industries come down to minimum wage, they would not be required to pay higher wages on minimum wage. stuart: never happen. absolutely not, would never happen. lauren: this is unpopular, inflation, if florida is popular.

stuart: this is tech week, the mayor of miami, francis suarez joins me now. miami was named number one city for gins the tech workers the youngsters were very hard to manage. heavy run into any problems managing jen z folks. >> that means projecting outward into the future, it is dynamic in a destructive economy, they rolled out the red carpet, what if they move silicon valley, and in california, kicked out a line. number 2, we brought in $2 trillion in assets in the last

two years and increased venture capital by 500%. think about competition. in miami, many of us were exiled to a communist country and realize competition is fundamentally american. and in the competitive landscape and many were beyond 9-to-5, 24/seven. that's a competitive sort of attitude. stuart: i'm with that because the jen z folks that work for us at fox are spectacularly hard workers. i read your article, miami simple solution to america's crime surge. your answer is higher costs. that your simple solution, isn't it? >> a basic thing, never got into the defund the police

movement, never been in an inner-city when someone in the middle of the inner-city, less police officers. we want to see more police officers and done a phenomenal job of hiring people, we had 237 officers complaints out of 330,000 officer interactions. if you can name me a business that got customer service at that level that would be a platinum service business, we have the lowest per capita homicide rate since 1964 last year, this year we are down 40% but we do it because we empower police officers and support them and more than we ever had. >> a record number in miami. and we will add more every year. stuart: you've got more money to do it. >> we had unprecedented growth,

we reduced taxes to the lowest level ever. shocking correlation, more people want to come to the city which means more resources. stuart: if the magic circle works, you must be a republican. i saw you on fox and friends not long ago and you were commenting on florida politics. you didn't seem to like your governor, ron desantis, very much. >> they asked what made me different, the governor and the former president and i entered it in terms of things that make me different. i am considering running for president in 2024, decision i will make in the next 30 to 45 days or less as we approach the august 20th debate which is right around the corner. whenever you run for office, you want to contrast yourself. stuart: rua nice guy and

desantis is not? >> i'm definitely a nice guy. putting the other words in your mouth, i was elected by 85%, i attribute kindness and respect. what is important to have a stronger country to provide maximum prosperity for maximum -- what i really care about is for us to be dynamic, disruptive and competitive. not necessarily businesses in our own community. a one good stuff. thank you for being with us this morning. we always enjoy it. lauren is back with us. the million dollar jewelry heist in florida. lauren: four romanians went into a jewelry store. stuart: is this a joke? lauren: quite serious and not the first time. they walked out with one million dollars worth of goods.

a police officer recognized the group, traced them back to missouri, all four were arrested and charged with grand theft and are part of an active and organized criminal network in the us of romanian nationals, not a joke. stuart: not a joke. new york -- that is another one. new york city subways will no longer use twitter to post real-time service updates. they can't afford it. the labor market showing signs of cooling, but the largest franchised movement companies looking to hire 7,000 movers and drivers. we will speak to the chief talent officer and two men in a truck, that's the name of the company. and the difficulties of hiring drivers these days. ♪ on the road again ♪ as we go down the highway ♪ we are the best of friends

moving company want to hire 7000 more movers. let's bring and sarah bennett, the chief talent officer. welcome to the program. as i understand it is difficult to hire truck drivers because they need a superclean license. are you encountering that problem? >> yes. we have 405 locations across the country, we are growing rapidly. the thing we need to move is drivers. we are doing our best to retain the best drivers out there. we want them to have excellent customer service, candidates feeling comfortable driving the trucks. we are focusing on providing excellent training and communicating that to people. stuart: what do you pay a driver? >> it depends on the locations.

stuart: can i make one hundred thousand dollars if i sign on as a truck driver with you? >> 65, 75, if you are 75,000 doing long-distance moves. they don't start out at that rate but usually work their way up. stuart: what do you do with a driver who applies to a job at your company and apply from a state that has legal marijuana. would you hire someone who smokes weed? >> that is not something -- i don't say typically but we wouldn't have anyone behind the wheel. a lot of states differ, governed by the laws of dot and make sure everybody who gets behind the wheel of one of our trucks is safe. stuart: are you allowed to ask them? >> we don't usually word it like that but there are steps where we can chat.

it varies by state. some are more stringent but at some point they are getting behind the wheel. stuart: to some degree a moving company is an economic indicator. what does your business indicate to be the state of the economy? booming? recession coming or what? >> we are focused on a variety of different areas of moving. i would say we are doing local moves for homeowners but we are doing more apartment booms than we had been before, we are moving quite a few people into senior living. those types of scenarios. it is not all the traditional, single home families, moving to bigger homes or smaller homes, different town. we are diversifying the types of moves. stuart: two men and a truck, nice name for a company. see you again soon. got to get back to amazon.

it is down now 3.8%. susan is with us, tell me again what is the problem? susan: we are seeing a sharp slowdown in april. down to just 11% growth rates and that is a long way from the 20 to 30% growth rates wall street had gotten accustomed to. the first quarter itself, amazon did better to start the year, reporting twice as much profit, sales went up and spring sale stronger than first thought. that rallied amazon up 11% in after-hours but on the earnings call, andy jassy saw sharp slowdown in cloud. cloud is a main profit driver, amazon, not retail, this might indicate amazon losing its cloud market share to microsoft, both reported growth rates above 20%. as for the retail business since amazon is the largest e-commerce player in america i

spoke to brian osaski and he said the ongoing inflationary pressures could be a factor. we believe it is driving cautious spending, consumers are still looking to stretch their budgets further, and focus on value. moderate spending on discretionary categories include shifts to lower-priced items are continuing. it sounds like it's still a tough market and amazon cut 20,000 jobs, i had to ask is there another round of layoffs coming and brian didn't say no but he said like any other business we will continue to look at the market conditions, make sure our resources are appropriate for the near and medium term opportunities and we will proceed adaptively, i counted 12 price target hikes on amazon at the 140 levels or so, one of the big tech

companies not to rally after earnings. stuart: it might close higher today. susan: you will bet from 4% down, finish the day higher after cloud could bring 10% in growth rates? stuart: i'm not going to put money on it. just saying. susan: but a buck with that. stuart: i never gamble. we will see you later and we await your appearance. i will talk mortgage rates because they are beginning to tip back up a little. on a 30 year fixed. lauren: 6. 43% up two weeks in a row, 1.5% higher than a year ago, 5. one%. one%. here's the good news. you will see a gentle decrease in mortgage rates. the fed meets next week and

that anticipated to be there at last. stuart: for old-timers like myself, 6.4% seems kind of low. it is definitely 6% high. stuart: i want to talk about ed sharon who took his -- took the stand in front of a manhattan courtroom. is accused of ripping off marvin gay's iconic let's get on song for one of his songs, the latest on the senator's defense. high school teacher in loudoun county, virginia says new work better rules are threatening student safety. that teacher is on the show, that teacher is next. ♪ ♪

stuart: we had a big tech rally and it is fading friday morning. microsoft is up. so is apple. amazon all down. giuliana sweeney is a high

school teacher in loudoun county, virginia. he says new welcome bathroom rules threaten student safety. giuliana joins me now. our boys transitioning to girls allowed in girls bathrooms in loudoun county schools now? >> that is correct and that has been the policy up to this point and now loudoun county is planning on and plummeting new bathroom policies which would allow boys and girls to be in the same bathrooms together. that's the only option. we won what is your problem with this? >> i see three problems, first is the price. loudoun county is consistently ranked one of the top wealthiest counties in the country. this is $11 million we are spending on two restaurant facilities, two of 16 high schools, costs went out up over time for 14 high schools as
