points and the dow is still up 50. check that -- oh, no, big tech. microsoft is up only just. come off it is high and apple up a mere eight-cent cents and rest of them big tech are down. 10-year treasury yield is down to 3.45%. now this. this is 350 california street in the middle of san francisco's financial district. before the pandemic, that building was worth $300 million. now it's up for sale and it's likely to be worth maybe $60 million. 350 california street is the canary in the coal mine for post-pandemic office values and it's a warning signal and san francisco is the canary in the coal mine for the big cities and a warning for us all. san francisco is the worst of the worst and problems loom

large else r. the office vacancy rating in san francisco is about 30%. manhattan, new york: 16%. chicago: 22% and rising fast. there are serious consequences to this. empty offices mean fewer workers paying tax, fewer people buying lunch and oses man transit. on mass transit and san francisco losing a billion in property taxes and absence of adult political supervision does not help. who could forget san francisco trying to change the name of abraham lincoln and george washington high schools. they are willfully behind to academic failure. should we remember the das in new york and los angeles that put criminals on the street and call it social justice? i haven't mentioned fentanyl or homelessness. frankly it makes me angry. i got my start in television in san francisco way back in the mid 1970s. i loved it. back then, san francisco was going places, you had boundless

opportunity. 350 california street was built in 1977. back then it symbolized san francisco's positive vibe. now that building, like the city, is an indicator of chronic decline. third hour of varney starts right now. stuart: california guy steve hilton on the right hand side of the strene if not necessarily -- screen if not necessarily politically. good to see you, steve. is san francisco the canary in the coal mine for the whole country? >> yes, it is, as is california when you see what happens when democrats get their way and have no constraints on what they do. that's what you're seeing in california. they've had no real political opposition for decades, they push these far left extremist policies, and this is where you end up. now, in san francisco on top of

everything you laid out so clearly there, you've got the crime problem and when there's an empty downtown, there's people around and it means it's easier for homelessness and crime and squaller that come withs that to sweep the city. you're seeing the consequence soft when the political leadership in a state like california has totally taken for granted wealth creating engine of the state. for years and years they've been so complaisant and the wealth would continue laying on the taxes and regulations and all the things that are driving out businesses. large, medium, and small from the state and this is where you end up. it's a massive warning to the whole country. stuart: california democrats struck down a bill that would have punished fentanyl dealers but, steve, white house press secretary jean-pierre said it was the republicans that are fighting to put fentanyl on the streets. i thought that was a classic

insult. there was a disgusting comment. what about you? >> it is disgusting and absolute outrage and worse still looking at karine jean-pierre and saying that about fentanyl dealers and republicans wanting to put fentanyl on the street, wasn't even off-the-cuff gaffe and it was in her scripted remarks and people throughout the white house thought it was an appropriate thing to say and meanwhile their own far left extremist democrat colleagues in california exactly as you said voted to keep fentanyl dealers on the streets. they voted to do that. they blocked the bill. as you said, it would have increased punishment for fentanyl dealers that they're being put on notice to get tough sentences if you continue doing what they do. democrats block that had, democrats, and in tune with the whole approach, far left approach in california, which is that you can't do anything to increase penalties on any crime

because of their ideological agenda. just as you see democrats in california blocking efforts to increase penalties for gun violence so we get all the lectures about guns from the democrats. meanwhile in california, they're blocking tougher sentences for gun crime. stuart: last one, steve, you worked very closely with britain's prime minister. did you ever tell him what questions would be asked of him in a press conference? did you ever do that? >> it's stunning. it's absolutely stunning and the most stunning thing is even when biden gets the questions in advance, he still can't give a coherent answer. stuart: you're terrible. you're terrible but we really like you. steve hilton, we'll be watching you on the next revolution on sunday night 9:00 p.m. eastern only on fox. thank you, steve. >> see you, stu. stuart: breaking news. we have a scathing new report on what led to the failure of silicon valley bank. edward lawrence at the white house.

break down for this report for us. it's scathing. >> yeah, this was very frank, this report. in fact the letter attached from the vice chair michael barr, the first line of this letter says bank mismanagement directly led to silicon valley bank's failure and the report also outlines how senior executives were taking bonuses and paychecks as the risk of failure mounted to the bank and ultimately failed. now four take aways in this report. the first one, obviously textbook case of mismanagement of the bank. that's the first. second, regulators failed to realize the extent of the issues at the bank and at the time it failed, the bank had 31 safe and sound warnings. it was also downgraded based on the fact that management let risk to unrealized losses pile up. the third, supervisors failed to move fast enough to supervise the bank once the problems were identified and finally the report spark as review or will spark a review by the fed of the tiered approach to regulating banks. smaller banks face a different

level of supervision and senior fed official tells me the fed will be changing the rules and the process to study how the changes should look has already started with the report. one more point to make in this, the report highlights mismanagement of the bank causing failure and social media sped up that according to the report. a seen yore official told me they've never seen the speed at which 85% of the deposit base moved out in about 24 hours and because of that, liquid capital requirements at all banks might be elevated and that could all of be raised and reevaluated and they could raise the capital requirements for all banks who are not done hearing from the federal reserve on this. this is the first step of a process to phase in new regulations. back to you. stuart: you're right, edward. that's a scathing report and edward lawrence on the white house. see you later. back to the markets and bring in our friday guest, he's a regular on friday mornings, he usually

internationally it's esoteric and international stocks trounced u.s. stocks for five years in 2000s, five years in 19 # 0s and three years in 1970s and something like sfin it's small cap indian stocks and it sounds international and especially tear ick but it's anker -- esotear ick and that's where you want to position your money right now. it's cheap stocks and underowned and they're outperforming u.s. pretty strongly in just the last couple weeks. stuart: s-m-i-n. always bring us the exotic stuff and e with like it. jonathan -- >> it's about making money so look off the radar screen for the new opportunities. stuart: yeah, i like to make money. jonathan, thank you very much indeed. have a great weekend, please. good stuff. lauren has the movers and exxonmobil, that is a mover. lauren: yeah, first quarter profit and despite lower prices,

stuart: now this. president biden will be 82 at the start of his second term if he wins reelection and some people believe his age opens up the possibility of the first female president, that would be kamala harris. lucas tomlin sson is at the whie

house. lucas, kamala is not very popular on either side of the aisle, is she? >> that's putting very mild, stuart. a classic british understatement. here's what potential republican presidential candidate tim scott had to say and what many other republicans are thinking. >> that should be a scary proposition. the only thing worse than a joe biden presidency is a kamala harris presidency and she is the one that said the border was secure. it is unsafe, insecure and wide open. >> now, take a look at new fox news poll of the vice president's approval rating. it's not very good and under water for over a year and really, stuart, sips she got the job and teddy roosevelt said was one opportunistic the most thankless and some look at sound bytes like this from harris as the reason why she's so unpopular. >> there is so much about my education here that informed everything about who i am today. in fact, the first office i ever

ran for was what was then called liberal arts student council freshman class representative at howard university. it was a very difficult race. i ran against shelly from new jersey but, you know, i'm from oakland so it worked out. >> stuart, she might be overqualified for the job. now, president biden and his vice president's popularity being so unpopular. one of the reasons about one in three democrats support someone else to be the next president in 2024 and, stuart, 15 u.s. vice presidents have gone onto become president in american history. stuart. stuart: what was that about british understatement. i caught that . i am an american, lucas. don't you dare forget that. >> i know. i almost said british american, stuart. i didn't want to sound too bc. stuart: nonetheless nonetheless, lucas, you're all right and see you later. now white house chief of staff

ron chain said about kamala's critics. roll that tape. >> sexism and racism are part of the problem, no question about it. >> i agree. >> i think she was not as well known in national politics before she became vice president, and i think that she just hasn't had the right -- she hasn't gotten the credit for all that she's done. stuart: we need pete hegseth. we've got him. look, i got to tell you, pete, i don't see any major accomplishments for vice president kamala harris. >> her accomplishment as she revealed in the clip you just played was running for and winning elections and running for something since she was a student and that's the -- it's been all about personal ambition and she's been in the right place at the right time and when it came to national politics, a candidate declared he was picking a woman and woman of color and she was the person there. nothing to do with her sex and

race and all with her competency. anyone even democrats will look at you and go, we know what's behind joe seven worse than the guy that clearly is not all there at this point. stuart: i think you're right. here's what i want you for. over 100 harvard professors haved ad their names to the school's new council on academic freedom, trying to defend free speech, got it. one law professor says "we're in a crisis time right now and many, many people being threatened and actually put through disciplinary processes for exercise of free speech and academic freedom". we reached out to that professor to join us. her response, no thank you, i'd never abet fox in any way. lauren: i get that all the time. stuart: you get that? invite people on the show and they say not on fox? lauren: yeah. stuart: okay. >> this professor part of the academic freedom free speech and never come on fox to be apart of

an open conversation in what they believe supporting free speech? lauren: it's so tutty and i push back and say we're the only network talk about the issues that you're defending right now. and they say, i can't take the risk. that's what hay say. stuart: you sent your harvard diploma back. >> proudly. they still have it and never replied. i took it out of the diploma ad wrote return to sender and i crossed out harvard and crossed out harvard and wrote critical theory institution and they've not gotten back to me. this movement for academic freedom these professors want, they're scared of the kids. they're scared of the students. it's the students coming in already indoctrinate that had are threatening professors that don't follow the line of the orthodoxy. this is about the job secure of insecure professors that won't come on fox to defend their views because they are so radical and they're afraid of the kids as well. stuart: it's a turning point to some degree it's a turning

point. 100 harvard professors getting together in the council and they're doing it. doing something about it. >> harvard is lost. lost. i wouldn't hire a kid from harvard -- looking at kids coming out of ivy league and have to be complicit with a certain world view unless they're decidedly against it and it's antithetical to faith and our country. maybe it's a little glimmer of hope but it's inside a totally rotten institution. stuart: rotten institution. >> totally rotten institution. all of them. stuart: i knew we needed you on the show and we got you. thank you very much indeed and we'll be watching you on "fox & friends" weekends. we watch you every weekend on this saturday and sunday starting at 6:00 a.m.. this guy never sleeps. >> that's like halfway into your day, stuart. you're awake and watching and we appreciate it. stuart: i'll be waiving to you. thanks, pete. back to the markets. look at this, dow up 129 and big t i thought woe got a rally going in big tech and so we did this week. unfortunately it's lost it is

york city budget. so they're going to keep their 50k and send alerts on their own apps and websites and that's a-okay. stuart: i didn't realize that musk was charging them $a 50 grand. i thought they couldn't afford the money period. lauren: charging san francisco too for their system and they're not paying it either. stuart: okay, got it. thanks, lauren. lloyd's bank offering employees -- ordering employees come back to the office at least two days a week. they'll be taking attendance. we'll explain that one. a fox news poll shows voters think putting gun limits in place is better than arming people to prevent gun violence. that's not exactly in line with republican messaging. florida senator, republican senator rick scott takes it on next. ♪♪

really it's deja vu all over again for the silicon valley bank collapse and well tell straited for first republic and less shocking and more preparations in place with depositors that have taken out $100 billion in deposited last month and still the stock is down nearly 90% so far this year. there have been a rescue plan they've tried that with jp morgan, bank of citi and 30 billion of deposits and first republic last month and a lot say that was just a way to buy time, recycling money and really delaying the inevitable and feels like it's deja vu all over again finding a banking rescue for first republic. stuart: who famous lay said deja vu all over again? lauren: i think ground hog day. susan: yeah, talk about intel. horrible report card for intel. worst quarterly loss in the

history bleeding almost $700 million. and the second quarter of losses but here's the thing, the reason why the stock is up on that terrible report card and bottom might be in and ceo suggesting that margins will improve so they're making more money on their chips going forward, per chip sold and suggests there's cost cutting being bottoms and intel lost the entire chip raise and mobile grade school and cloud ga ga ga gaming and inno s clip mash and successful in pc chips or whatever you're maybing and unable to shape that and try to innovate. stuart: it says on my pomp terrific they're making up for terrible cord cuts rates at these networks. susan: yeah, look at charter numbers, charter and comcast, they're up but not because of cable and carter lost a quarter million cable subscribers down to 15 million and same trend at

comcast this week and lost over 600,000 subs and over 2 million last year and that's a really dire cut of rates 11% and that trend from linear television to streaming accelerated and bad for cable providers and good if they're signing up more wireless and fan if i can disney and the like. stuart: not bad. susan, thank you. new fox poll reveals the majority of voters want more restrictions on gun ownership. only 45% think that arming more people would reduce gun violence. look who's here. senator rick scott, republican from the great state, the wonderful state of florida. safe state of florida. >> yeah, thank you. we had great sheriffs and police chiefs. stuart: it's the free state. >> it's all these things and get a job and education and you're safe. stuart: this fox poll on guns, that's not good news for republicans. i mean, you're staking your claim to authority on don't do

anything with gun laws, we've got them all already. >> yeah, how do we make people safe and i put a bill out this week and guardian school act to do what i did in florida and put armed guards in all of the schools and resources and we're going to spend the irs money toed a the 87,000irs agents. stuart: think it's going to be popular? people with guns in schools and more people with more guns in school? >> i want a deterrent for anybody that wants to harm the kids and somebody there in case they show up to harm our kid. we did it in florida and have in every public school in florida, there's an armed security in every public school in florida and need to do it for every school in the country and make sure every kid and school is safe. stuart: another one might be difficult for republicans and another fox poll, 56% of voters believe abortion should be legal. again, that's not real good for republicans.

i mean, look at wisconsin. look at kansas. >> well, first off, i'm pro life. i believe that we've got to do everything we can to make sure we have more abortions and it's a tough -- it's a tough choice for women. so let's figure out what the right, you know, weeks is because i don't know anybody that wants late term abortion. i don't know anybody that thinks we ought to have a baby born alive in a botched abortion and let them die. that's where the democrats are and i think where americans are, let's at least make sure we're reasonable and the restrictions and exceptions. stuart: if you make the case you're reasonable it's in your favor. there's a lot of unreasonable republicans who could lose you the election in 2024. >> stu, it's really a tough choice for women and feel sorry for anyone going through it. stuart: of course. last one, how are you going to keep chinese-made solar panels out of america? and do you want to do that really? >> absolutely.

they're made with slave labor in china and weaker labor and there's legislation that stops them from doing it and they're shipping to southeast asia and saying they're made in vietnam and now they're shipping them here so biden's department says you can't do that and he got a two year waiver and the act passed the house on bipartisan basis and we'll make sure they can't continue to do this. stuart: is there a total break with china? it'll wreck the economy. >> no, we need to manufacture things in this country. you can't yet. >> no, but not in a day and a couple years over the next 20 years. stuart: what happens in the immediate future when you start saying, hey, china, can't send that here. >> every day saying what can i buy in the united states and not from china. stuart: my point, senator, and i

hate to raise my voice is you starlet doing that with china, stopping stuff coming here and our capital going there and you've got a worldwide crisis. >> we've got to start building manufacturing back in this country and the way to do it is every american says i want to buy american products. stuart: always fun to have you on the show. >> i like american jobs and not chinese jobs. stuart: what kind of car do you drive? >> denali, gmc. stuart: that's okay. >> i work in america and support americans. stuart: senator scott, always a pleasure, sir. now this, a popular weight loss brand jenny craig is telling workers to look for other jobs they're preparing for massive layoffs and all employees could be on the chopping block and i'll report on that shortly. senator ed sheeran on trial accused of ripping after a chases ick marvin gay congress and using his -- off a classic

sheeran just took the stand in his copyright infringement trial and madison all worth knows all about this. what's his defense? jot main defense is that he did not copy it. there are only so many cords and progressions and that he simply was creating a song because there are count lessonings that follow the same kind of progression and to prove it, ed sheeran performed in federal court. i don't think that's something that he expected to do on his latest tour. but that's what he did to bring out his guitar and proving his innocent and being accused by writer mark townsend that wrote that song with marvin gay and ed sheeran is saying the two songs share a cord sequence and doesn't amount to copying and i want to share that music he played on the stand to get a sense of that song. take a listen. ♪

>> okay, that cord progression is something that forensic musicologist said that's a common cord and he doesn't think there's much to this case. take a listen. >> on a musical level at least in my opinion, this case is entirely without merit. they're not the same cords and there's a difference in the second cord. and second this is far more important, that cord sequence is really common and has been used by lots of people. marvin gay and ed townsend didn't invent it back in the 70s. people use it had before and since. >> ed sheeran was on the scene yesterday and back on stand monday and the trial is not being heard today to continue his testimony. and this is not the first case that has been brought against ed sheeran for copyright. so he actually now records all of his song writing sessions so that if or really when a new lawsuit is brought against him, he says look at video, i did not

copy. stuart: that's fascinating and take that kind of defense. >> he says it's a bummer and doesn't encourage music creativity but it's the reality of our litigious nation. stuart: lance bass is former member of n'sync band and says he made more money after the group broke up than when they were together. how did that happen? lauren: well, the manager lou pearlman put them in bad deals and they were young and nevoand, they were famous and justin timberlake was part of n'sync. they were rich at the time. got to be careful with things like that. he was also behind the backstreet boys and they sued him because he took $10 million and the group got $300,000 and it was a crazy absurd deals he put them in. he later did time in jail and died in jail a few years ago.

stuart: died at age of 62 in jail. i remember that. next one for you, generalmy craig warning staffers of mass layoffs. maybe they all go it, i don't know. are they shutting down the store fronts as well? lauren: they're shifting to online and nbc news said they're preparing for potential mass layoffs meaning everybody would go and they've even told their employees to find jobs elsewhere. is this the consequence though of the weight loss drugs? why go on a diet plan, a meal plan, go into a physical store to get all that when you can just get a prescription for an injection. stuart: those diet drugs are really something else and affected the whole market. thank you very much, lauren. this is the time when we show you the dow 30 as we always say, get a sense of the market. would you look at that. looks like yesterday when almost everything was up and sure enough this morning, 26 of the dow 30 are on the upside and the dow is right at 34,000.
