now this. republican presidential candidate vivek ramaswamy is making waves. i think that's great. he is the first millennial to run for the oval office. what he's saying to his own generation is very important. he's anti-woke, he's anti-progressive. he's trying to change direction of young folks' political thinking. that's pretty good. two of his books make his position very clear. number one, "woke inc.: inside america's social justice scam," repeat, scam, that's his word. and "nations of victims." it's good stuff. victimology is at the heart of woke whining. he argues with chuck and tells him there are only two genders, male and female. would you ever get that out of a democrat? he told cnn's don lemon you're doing a disservice by refusing to recognize the fact that black americans have equality under the law, end quote. who else goes at race as

directly as that? lemon, a black man, said he was insulted. he told our own maria bartiromo that the climate religion is, quote, shackling america and needs to be abandoned. after 673 university professors signed a letter opposing courses on america's founding and the constitution, ramaswamy said, hey, you're destroying america's identity. whoa. add all this lot up, and he is clearly shaking -- staking out positions counter to the what's coming out of our colleges and so many corporate boardrooms. he declared his candidacy just two months ago. with his energy, he's a brent of fresh air on wokism, climate, race, gender and education. he's not likely to win, okay, i know that. but in the years to come, he will have a powerful voice for the millennials and the gen-zers as they move into politics. this guy's only 37. third hour of "varney" starts right now. ♪ ♪

stuart: jason chaffetz here again to bail us all out. all right, jason, you had a long career many in politics. you think vivek ramaswamy can shake things up really for republicans? >> oh, vivek is the real thing. i've spent a little bit of time with him, but his voice on key issues resonates. and it resonates with the younger generation and older folks. i'm telling you, he can aroundic the late the issues -- articulate the issues like we rarely, rarely see. he built a company -- that bit with chuck todd when they're arguing about gender and biology? he didn't even mention to the chuck, and he could have, that the he got a degree in biology from harvard university when chuck was trying to cut him down in terms of his ability to talk about science. so he's the real deal. his beautiful family, built a company, great voice, articulates the issue. he checks all the boxes. stuart: he certainly does.

he's a force in this election. moving on, listen to the what late show host stephen the colbert said about president biden's recampaign. roll it again, please. >> big muse out of the white house, i almost forgot. last week president biden officially announced that he will seek a second term. of course, we know biden's real opponent is the ravages of time. [laughter] if he wins a second term, he will be 86 years old when he leaves office, and voters feel that is, to put it delicately, way too [bleep] old. [laughter] according to a new poll, 70% of americans believe biden should not run for re-election, and half of those polled cite his age as a major reason. but what matters is biden is young at heart. [laughter] stuart: okay, jason. age has to be a big issue in this election. people worry about the president. he's over 80 years old, and the vice president doesn't inspire confidence. he can't get away from this. age is a factor here. >> well, i think the driving force is his cognitive

capability. you see people at certain ages x and they are sprite and get after thingses. but, yeah, i think america generally says, you know, after the age of 80, with all due respect, you couldn't go out and fly an airplane. i don't know why be flying the country. i just think they look at it like that, and i think they're ready for a younger generation. stuart: well, you do know, of course, that kamala harris, vice president, is going to the meet with the ceos of google and microsoft and openai. they're going to discuss artificial intelligence. what because she know about a.i., jason? if. >> boy, that's going to be a meeting of the minds. i don't even know if she could spell a.i., let alone articulate to the heads of, you know, tech industry gurus like that and be able to have a good discussion. it's something9 that the vice president should be doing, but i gotta tell you between her and congress, there is not enough intellectual capacity to understand how tech works let

alone how a.i. is going to change the world. stuart: i think this is the deliberate on the part of president biden. put her in a position where she can do something because she didn't do much about the border, and the border is about to be opened under title 42 the whenst the removed, so -- when it's removed. so the timing here, you know, having meeting, that timing is very important. it's a distraction from the board, isn't it? >>s. --s. they paid absolutely no attention to it. look, the vice president has not succeeded in anything. she is the least popular are vice president we have ever had in our lifetime because she doesn't do anything. and when she gets up to the microphone, you can't even understand the word salad she's putting in front of you. stuart: well, i want to see what she's got to say after that meeting on thursday. we'll be paying close attention to that. jason, thank you very much, sir. i know we'll see you soon. >> thanks, stuart. stuart: i want to stay on a.i. for a moment because i've been making a lot of waves recently. tepper's with me. i've been saying, look, don't

halt development of a.i. because if you do, the bad guys are going to keep doing it anyway. >> without a doubt. stuart: i don't want a halt in development, and i'm not so sure i want regulation either. >> if we were to halt the progress of a. i. while china's still pursuing it and all of our other competitors globally, yeah, we're going on the to be behind the 8-ball. regulation, i guess i differ from you on that point. i think we need regulation are. i think there needs on the regulation in place to kind of put a leash around a.i. to make sure that it count become a too powerful, that the -- doesn't become a too powerful, that the unintended consequences don't go too far. even if -- a.i. has the potential to be incredibly powerful, incredibly helpful. it can improve efficiencies for businesses, for people. but it can also be powerful in a bad way as well. stuart: just as long as the government is not in there telling me what they can do and what they can't do. i'm not real keen on that. you want to add to this?

$35-85, so we are definitely profitable. stuart: do you charge a fee, a membership fee? >> no. everything we do is on a personal training and appointment-based, so this is not an open gym. everything's more private because we want to keep that small group community. stuart: i think i just gave you a commercial. that would be the vision fitness of franklin lakes, new jersey, just off you wing avenue. i know -- ewing avenue, i know it well. kevin, it was it was great. thank you for being with us and being so honest and open about your money. good lord. or or see you laettner if franklin lakes.

and say here's your hike and, guess whatsome we're done. no more. he's not going to say that. there's no way he's going to say that. i think it's more likely the commentary is a little more hawkish than people are expecting. he's going to say something along the lines that the data is improving but we remain data-dependent. what if the cpi report next week comes in red hot and he just committed to pausing today in that's not going to be a good look, and inflation -- the war is not done. st it's not over. stuart: i betst going to be one of those those days where the computers are looking at every ing word -- single word and they'll react immediately. >> without a caught. they're running their analysis trying to say did he say pause, how many i'm the, right? oh, absolutely, you know that's going to happen. stuart: thanks, mark. listen to this one. the surgeon general claims that the next public if health priority is loan areliness? -- loneliness? all right, ashley, this one's for you. why is he calling it an epidemic of lonelinesses?

ashley: yeah, because it's more prevalent than we realize. he saysst the been linked to increased heart attacks, depression, diabetes, crime and premature death the in the united states, and it's affecting people no matter where they live or who they are. the u.s. surgeon general also urging people and public officials to treat the matter with the same urgency as other serious conditions such as obesity or drug abuse saying it can affect as many as half of people living in the u.s. research shows, by the way, the problems associated with loneliness have been growing since the 1970s, but the covid pandemic broughting the disruption of social cohesion to the forefront. and between 2003-2020 the, the time americans spent alone increased by 24 hours a month, and time with friends in person decreased by 10 hours a month. so, stu, you say you're a loner, and you're not alone, apparently, in that. stuart: i'm very glad to hear

it. you're not lonely, are you, ash? i know you're down there in florida, you don't have us with you, the producers, the writers, the whole amendment the, you're down there on your own. your not lonely. ashley: not one bit. i love them all but i'm not lonely. stuart: the last thing you want is to come up here and do a group session. i mean, you couldn't stand that, could you?

♪ stuart: an illegal immigrant is behind bars accused of killing five of his neighbors in texas. he was arrested after a four-day manhunt. what's the latest, ashley? ashley: yeah. the 38-year-old is now in custody after a tip to the fbi ended that four-day manhunt. the suspect was found in a house hiding in a closet under some laundry just miles from a home in cleveland, texas, where he's accused of pateally shooting five people including a 9-year-old boy after a dispute with neighbors. according to immigration, this mexican national had entered the u.s. illegally and been deported at least four times going back to 2009. the suspect being held on five counts of murder with bond set at $5 million. politicians have been calling for swift justice, that includes

texas senator ted cruz who calls the suspect a mass murder murdering illegal alien and says he deserves the death penalty. stu. stuart: strong stuff. thanks, ash. now this: president biden's sending 1500 troops to the border as title 42 the is about to expire. peter doocy at the white house. is there any chance that the end of title 42 could be postponed yet again? >> reporter: very little chance of that, stu. that's why these troops are being sent a week from from today, and some democrats in congress are very upset. senator bob menendez, democrat senator from new jersey, says the biden administration's militarization of the border is unacceptable. there is already a humanitarian crisis in the western hemisphere, and deploying military personnel only signals that migrants are a threat that require our mission's troops to contain. nothing could be further from the truth. that is lindsey graham writes, dear president biden, according

to the department of homeland security's own estimates, border surges many in response to the termination of title 42 order could reach 13,000 encounters with illegal immigrants a day. this is untenable and will exacerbate which is already a national security and humanitarian disaster on our southern border. that is as white house officials are trying to highlight some successes of the president's immigration plans. we asked the press secretary about tata yesterday. you said yesterday that when it comes to the illegal migration, you've seen it come down by more than 90. where did that number come from? >> i was speaking -- >> reporter: cbp tells us it's 136,000 -- >> i'm about to answer you. if you, if the dramatics could come down a little bit, if the dramatics -- >> reporter: what's dramatic about asking a question about -- >> okay. i'm going to answer. so i was speaking to the parolee program. >> reporter: so they still

insist on the one hand that president biden's immigration plan for the last two and a half years has worked, but on the other hand, they're sending 1500 active duty u.s. troops down to the border to try to make something different happen. stu? stuart: yeah. but, peter, or they're not going to be carrying guns. they're not to kick people out. hose 1500 troops are to process people, make it smoother to get them in. that's what that's all about. >> reporter: right. well, they will be carrying guns for self-defense, just not for law enforcement. the mission is more administrative, but this is a 90-i day deployment, and they're looking all around the government, who can help? nothing else is working, and that's where we are. stuart: okay. peter doocy at the white house, thank you. see you again later. want to get back to the markets, one last word from mark tepper who's been sitting with me. we've gone through the fed and the rate hike this afternoon. i want to lack at apple's earnings that come out tomorrow afternoon. >> big deal, definitely a market mover, biggest weighting in the s&p. probably about -- stuart: up or down?

>> yeah, no. so, look, i think there's been some speculation that their iphone sales numbers might disappoint, might come in a little bit light. apple's a great read on the consumer. all the data that we're seeing shows the consumer is slowing a little bit. a recent survey says 44% of americans intend on using buy now, pay later within the next six months. and 20% of them intend to use it for groceries. that's bad. stuart: if it was a disappointing result, that could affect the whole market it's such a huge company. >> yeah. and not only is it a huge company, but it is a great the read on whether or not consumers have buying power. are consumers able to afford a $1,000 plus phone at this time. i think they may come in a little light there. stuart: i suspect the post important part of the report will be the call afterwards where they look to the future -- >> yeah. and, obviously, everyone always wants to know if they're going to innovate and come out with

new products. they don't do that this time of year, they save that for fall, but any insight on that would be valuable. stuart: we'll be glued 2:00 this afternoon to the fed, and i'll be glued tomorrow at 4:00 for ap. >> that's all you need to know. stuart: it's that time, the wednesday trivia question. for how many days was the battle of gettysburg fought in the civil war? three days, fifteen days, thirty-two, fifty-five days? what's the answer? the correct answer after this. ♪ pods biggest sale of the year is now extended! save up to 30% on moving and storage. and see why pods has been trusted with... over 6 million moves nationwide. save up to 30% now.
