there are a lot of republicans, and i'm, you know, along with them, someone who agrees that on day one james comey deserved to be fired, that donald trump should have, as soon as he got into the white house, said you're out. for all the different reasons that we had at that point believed he ought to be out. that was a huge mistake in retrospect and, ultimately, it was one that would lead to his efforts in the white house being hampered for years to come. and i think that, you know, clearly ron desantis wants to avoid that by dealing with an fbi director who clearly has been operating in a way more designed to protect the bureau than actually get to the bottom of a lot of big questions. he's allowed them to the engage in all manner of activitieses that are certainly very concerning for keys across country, you know -- conservatives across country both on culture war issues and investigating people who are part of religious groups. it's one of these things where i think it's a very clear message to say when i get in there, i'm going to have someone who is not

going on the liked by the media establishment, and that's a good thing. stuart: there was quite a few glitches this his twitter presentation with elon musk. do you think that hurt his image as a guy who can get things done, he's well prepared, he's moving forward into the future? does that hurt him? >> i think it hunters twitter's image more than it -- hurts twitter's image more than ron desantis' image. [laughter] one thing that'sed odd about this, stuart, is you can do both. you can do the big rollout and then do manager like the twitter space. i think that would have been a much smarter approach, though i do think in this case those kinds of glitches are not going to be something we're talking about a week from now. the real test is once he gets out will on the campaign trail, he's meeting people, interacting, focused on this early state strategy in iowa and south carolina and nevada and new hampshire, those are all things that i think are going to be the real test for him going forward over the coming months as we await that inevitable clash that we all see coming on

[laughter] stuart: do you think desantis last night, did you think he won over any trump voters? >> you know, i don't know about that yet because i think it's one of these things where you have to see things work out. but one thing that i do think is key about his approach is going to be issue of immigration. he gave some great responses on that both on twitter space and i think to trey gowdy and others. we all know that ron desantis is going to get the anti-woke vote, he's going to get a lot of the people who were furious about lockdowns and witched president trump had done -- wished president trump had done more on them. can he get e the voters who believe he'll be able to finish the wall? brian kilmeade's statement, is he going on the able to say i'm going to take these issues where i think president trump is right, and i'll actually be able

to to deliver on them because i mow how to get things done politically. stuart: do you think both desantis and trump could beat biden? i do. >> i absolutely do. and and i think that, you know, they really are, i think, you know, in positioning themselves and sort of relatively similar strategies except for this: i think that ron desantis and his family, his image overall has a better shot at getting back some of those suburban voters who may be turned off over the years by some of donald trump'sing activitieses, people who certainly were key in the last election in terms of damaging republican hopes in a lot of different suburban areas. that's something that i think that desantis has in his back pocket that he can kind of roll out there, especially for those of us who would like to see us moving on from a generation that has really been in control of american politics for a very, very long time. stuart: okay. ben domenech, thank you, sir. see you soon. >> good to be with you. stuart: check the markets, please.

the good news is for those that don't own it, i think a lot of the market's in for it in the next couple quarters. i think there are a lot of areas that are breaking down. that may halt the stock for a little bit and just settle it down. but ultimately, a couple of more quarters like this, look out, it's got much higher prices to come. stuart: that's fascinating. you say other areas of the market are breaking down, as you put it so the gains are restricted to just after half a dozen big name tech stocks. rest of the market not doing well. is that where we are? >> student -- stuart, look at the nasdaq and the nasdaq 100 today, up huge. advance declines on the nasdaq are more than 2 to 1 to the negative. s a narrowing group of stocks that are doing the trick, and that's just fine as long as you own them, and we know which ones they are. they're the semiconductors, the a.i.s and other technology. but other areas many real bad shape here, especially economic areas that are pretty much saying right now something up

entire population becomes infected shortly. but remember, one of the mysteries of covid is how it staggers. you expect it to blossom and spread very quickly or, but then it sort of pauses and comes back a season later. that's maybe what's happening right now. the vaccines have worn off, perhaps immunity are from prior infection has slightly warn off, and people are getting infected. but we're not seeing now the satellite images showing hospitals massively overrun. stuart: that's an important point because on the financial side of things if china went in for a new the lockdown situation, there would be a response financially as opposed to medically. at the moment it doesn't look like it's serious enough for lockdowns, is that right? >> they've basically abandoned the covid zero policy and the lockdown policy. what we're seeing is absenteeism at the workplace, at factories, at different industries in china. we're seeing people just i not show up to work. people showing up to work with a sore throat the, mild

people -- did quickly bring in people with a different point of view from dr. fauci. joe ladipo, he was involved early in conversations, jay bhattacharya, so i think there's going to be a lot of discussion about a different the approach, and that departure began when the 15 days to stop the spread was converted to the a 0 days to stop -- 30 days to stop spread. that's when we saw the florida governor taking a very different approach. stuart: many new york city, we're going to the finally lift the vaccine requirement for health care workers, but they're not lifting the requirement until the fall of this year. why the delay until then? >> yeah, this is what i call the novak djokovic doctrine of the biden administration that's epidemic in the united states today.

whether tina turner would have had more number one hits -- [laughter] if she had gone with phil specter earlier. she only had one phil specter song, river deep, mountain high, and that was a huge, huge hit -- stuart: but isn't bill's -- what happened to phil specter? something bad, i think. >> oh, yeah, no. a lot of bad stuff. not a great guy. there was a -- it's a long story. stuart: yeah. well, you brought it up, bill. >> another time. i did bring it up, but he did the wall of sound, and that was fantastic music. stuart: it was. even i mow that. okay. >> -- republicans -- [laughter] now i'm sorry i brought it up. there you go. republicans, yes, have been on the school choice bandwagon for a long time. way back in the '80 when i was secretary, i had the three cs, content, character and choice. i don't think a national bill though to have school choice is a good idea. love desantis,s love his ideas.

i think he's going to be the a great con tender. butten i don't like federal government legislating so much nationally are. i think there's too much of that. many many areas. leave it to the states as the dobbs decision did on abortion, leave it to the states. but school choice is very important, but it's not everything. the curriculum, the content, what hay study is -- they study is critical k. and we realized the during covid hay weren't studying the right things. realizing, reading, reading the first three years. stuart: absolutely. can you deal with this one? one million fewer students enrolled in 2022, that's compared to the pandemic, 2019, a million fewer. we're also seeing far few ther young men enrolling. bill, take that on. why are men skipping university? >> well, first of all, this is a rend that's been with going on for quite a while. last time i looked the matriculation rate, the graduation rate was about 60-40

female it's now likely to get even larger, 62, 63. men are figuring out -- some women are figging it out -- figuring it out too -- a lot of colleges are not worth it. i wrote a book called is college worth it, and most are not. given the news, when you do a return on investment, we did the roi, stuart, on about 250 colleges, most of them it's not worth it. if you get into stanford, princeton the, go. because when you graduate even if you don't know anything, you have a shiny degree and it still matters to hiring companies. but these men are figuring out they can become cops, get good salaries, retire young, become welders, electricians, all the things that can't be outsourced. and they can make good money. go college and a lot of places the tuition is very high. you've got to borrow. and remember this very important

thing, people who when enroll in college, only 50 president stay -- 50 percent stay through the whole four years. stuart: ouch, that hunters, especially if you've got a student loan around your neck. >> the that's right. you get a loan and you can't pay it and you don't have a job. [laughter] stuart: right on all counts. bill with bennett, good stuff. hope to see you again soon. >> you betcha. thank you. stuart: the point where we show you the dow 30, looks like a lot of selling, and there is a lot of selling. the dow is down 200 points. the nasdaq, though, that's a different story. next case, prince harry has lost his bid to to pay himself for his own police protection in britain. you don't get those perks when you're not a working royal. of that's got to be putting a vain on harry's relationship with the king -- a strain. kneel correspondent -- royal correspondent neil shaun on that next. ♪

stuart: prince harry could be facing a huge bill after losing a legal battle in britain. if ashley, what was harry asking for, is and how much will he

have to pay? ashley: let's begin with the bill. we're talking as much as $500,000 -- 500,000 pounds or chose to $620,000 u.s. that's how much he may have to pay after a judge said prince harry could not pay for armed police guards when he's in the u.k.. the judge saying it would create a two-tiered system that only the wealthy could exploit from, so no deal, harry. but harry's taxpayer-funded protection was removed, if you remember, when he stepped back as a senior royal and moved to the u.s. it's not just harry that could take a financial hit. britain's sun newspaper says the british taxpayer could be on the hook for more than $370,000 to pay for the government's legal costs, and that may not be the final bill, stu, because harry could appeal his loss in court. so the bill could get bigger. stuart: oh, dear. let's move on. royal watcher neil shaun joins

me. he's about to the appear, there he is. has this taken a toll on harry's relationship with his father, king charles, and that relationship be saved? >> good afternoon, stuart, as ever from london. well, now he's really a prince without power, isn't he? the bottom line now is how long will meghan hang around. you know, the bigger picture is truly this, i mean, the guy was advised numerous times not to go ahead with this. it was a ridiculous case, but he pressed ahead. and now it's cost not just him, but us here, the british taxpayer, a lot of money, a lot of money that we don't have, that we don't want to spend all on something that each and every time he decides to grace his presence back here in the united king come, we should day for it -- kingdom. he already had royal protection as we saw on the recent coronation. moment he arrived on that american airlines flight, there was bare protection officers to look after him. that would have applied also to meghan markle and, indeed, two

of his children. the bottom line is what was the problem? we couldn't really understand. but this is a private thing. he could appeal and it's looking like he will as well actually, stuart. stuart: good lord. a former butler for harry and meghan says a move back to the u.k., back to the u.k., is, quote, very possible. do you see that happening? [laughter] >> well, let me tell you, you know, it could be a one-way ticket just for him. meghan markle has no intention of moving back over here. she signed a very big deal as we now know with an agency over there. she doesn't like great britain, she made that quite obvious of course and i think the problem is she can't make money here. she could make money over in the united states. there's this story knocking around that there's going to be a net 234reubgs movie now, but they're just waiting to see how well that scoop thing goes with prince andrew. i think the appetite for any more royal revelations is really, really watered down, but harry himself, i have been told

this from a very good source, wouldn't with mind doing a half-in, half-out thing, six months here, six months over there, but there's no way that meghan would want to return. and who could blame her, let's be honest. stuart: i'm reading wean the lines here, and i'm getting deep into the gossip weeds, but it sounds like you're predicting that harry and meghan split. 30 seconds, go. >> what i would say is that meghan markle is definitely going down the wrong path. it looks like prince harry's solo alone, and when he comes back over here to defend another court case existence newspapers, she won't be with him. not exactly a bond of love, is it not? stuart: a good way to conclude. neil sean, on it again. thanks very much, indeed. good luck. it's the thursday trivia question, time for. the lincoln memorial was dedicated on memorial day of which year? 1875, 1890, 1908, 1922 the? who knowsesome the answer after this. ♪ ♪
