9:03 am
ashley: you cannot go wrong on this fourth of july eve as you look at a quiet sixth avenue right now. a lot of people off work today and off school for the holiday. taking the polls, voters are split on the newest rulings from the u.s. supreme court, most people seem to approve of the court restricting the use of race as a factor in college admissions, less than a third of voters say they disapprove, 52% say yes. an opinion split after the high court throughout president biden student loan handout with 45% say that they approve and 40% disapprove. president trump is praising his appointments to the u.s. supreme court. watch this. >> we appointed nearly 300 federal judges and three great supreme court justices. and this week, the justices ruled to move our country
9:04 am
forward with a merit-based system of education, how big is that? isn't that big, isn't that great, the supreme court ruled president biden is not allowed to wipe out hundreds and hundreds of billions, probably trillions of dollars in student loan debt which would've been very unfair to the millions and millions of people who are paid their debt through hard work and diligence. >> a lot of people are making that point, charlie hurt joins me, great to see you. trump could use this as the campaign talking point. he already is but polls show the voters are split on the student loan bailout issue. is that a smart move for trump to tout his supreme court appointees? >> i think without a doubt it's one of the most grueling aspects of his first term and a reminder one of the areas were trump had the freest hand were obviously
9:05 am
the senate has the right to vote up or down on his nominees but that is the total extent of congress ability to control that in trump knocked it out of the park with the three justices as well as appointing a lot of other federal judges to the high court. it has been a fight the republicans have tried to win for decades, for my entire time covering congress and you have republicans trying to win on this issue and they failed and it took donald trump a complete outsider to walk-in and he did not understand the issue of judges when he walked in. he completely did better than any other republican president that we've ever had. he absolutely should tout that and is a great victory for him and the rest of the country. >> i have another one, trump promising to appoint a special prosecutor to go after the entire biden family if he is
9:06 am
elected in 2024. listen to this. >> i been hitting it much differently that i have because i always respected the office and when they indicted me for nothing i said now the gloves are off. we had to say it like it is. he is a crook, i never called him back, i took the name away from hillary clinton, we call her beautiful hillary now. when i get back in office i will appoint a real special prosecutor to investigate every detail of the biden crime family of corruption. so incredible. >> the voters have a little bit of investigation fatigue or do they want the full biden story expose? >> of course are exhausted of all of this stuff but it's still going on. what are you going to do about it. what is the argument you going to use against trump. we don't want the biden's
9:07 am
investigated. we don't want millions of dollars in ill-gotten gains that these people have bribed world leaders around the country to sell out american foreign policy. we do not want that investigated it is a hard thing to argue against. it's also a reminder of how important the degree to which democrats have managed to weapon is the judicial system not only in terms of the courts like were talking about with the supreme court but also in terms of the hunter biden clan from basically a foreign-policy cartel that they have been running and make it an absolute fortune from the biden family selling out the american people. this is a great issue for trump. ashley: i think you are right, i have to leave it there, thank you so much i appreciate your

9:09 am
picture we seen a lot of improvements we had a hard few days with severe weather at the beginning of the week and that definitely put enormous pressure on the system. the good news on friday we saw tsa a record number of airline passengers probably the most ever in america and we saw the cancellation rates stay low right now below 2% and they shot up at the first part of the week largely because severe weather and some of the airlines like staffing shortages. >> either way if you stuck at a terminal it's a miserable experience. thank you very much, let's check the features. down on the dow and s&p slightly up on the nasdaq official finishes at 1:00 p.m., shortened day let's bring in jeff sica, i've known you for years, it's been many, many years. great to have you here were kicking off the second half of the year after pretty impressive looking at the nasdaq the

ashley: after a great first half of the year were getting the second half underway in the shortened session. the dow off 78 points of the premarket. s&p slightly down in the nasdaq slightly higher. president biden is promising to find a way to forgive student loans after the supreme court blocked his original plan for a bailout, grady trimble at the white house. what is plan b for the president. >> the white house says interest will accrue on student loans again and in a couple of month september 1 then borrowers will have to make payments once again in october. if they miss a payment or multiple payments in the first year the white house says the credit won't take a hit. some progressives argue the president needs to do more to ease the burden on borrowers. >> i do hope the white house
9:18 am
will make sure that the interest does not accrue starting in september. another president says to the credit agency in the higher education act you can stop interest accrual. >> the question is when would interest her accruing then. republicans on the other hand are praising the supreme court's decision, they say president biden student debt forgiveness plan was number one unfair endeavor to cause inflation and number two with politics and actually solving the problem. >> they are giving helper there should be no hope no ability over the executive to forgive student loan debt under the current state of the law and the supreme court said that. >> the committee for responsible federal budget said it's time to put the costly cancellation schemes behind us. too much time on empty promises
9:19 am
and not enough time on making sure borrowers are prepared to begin making payments again, they also say the supreme court's decision will reduce the deficit by $400 billion this year. the supreme court helping with the accounting. thank you very much, we appreciate that. stephen moore joins me to talk about this, why is the president so intent of having taxpayers pay off everybody's debt, that's a question. >> are to be with you, it's an abusing thing that we finally have somebody in washington wants to cut government spending it's not congress or the white house is the united states of record, it's a great day for america in terms of getting some of our bills under control and it's a 300, $400 billion savings from american taxpayers in this idea the taxpayer should be on the line for people who don't
9:20 am
pay back their student loans is always a cockamamie idea, incidentally if the students are going to pay back the loans, do you know who should pay it should be the university that should be on the line they have $100 billion of endowment money and they're the ones that give the kids worthless degrees, why shouldn't they pay for. >> i agree and i heard that from other people. i want to move on traditionally the fed has measured households on the ability to cover a 400-dollar emergency, new report shows if you factor in inflation average cost of the surprise expenses is really close to $1700 why is the fed using an outdated target to gauge the health of the american hous household. >> even at 1700-dollar number that you just cited may be too low, seven by colleagues at the heritage foundation say it might
9:21 am
be $4000 of purchasing power. something that you been talking a lot about on varney is the fact that the consumer debt continues to rise at a very alarming pace, why is that happening. when you're 22 of the last 23 months where inflation rate is outpacing people's ability to pay that higher cost because the paychecks are not keeping pace, one other think the people being hurt the most by this biden inflation have been the lowest income people it's like a regressive tax. not to be too much of a downer, one positive thing we are seeing a steep decline in inflation. this time last year nine-point to percent now are down to a little over 4%, let's hope that continues. ashley: does that mean the fed holds back? i know jay powell is talking
9:22 am
about to more quarter-point raises, do you think that will stop in? >> this is a tough one. i am in inflation hawk and i want to see it coming down to the fed target of 2%. on the other hand if you look at what is happening with the growth of the money supply it went way up during the pandemic and last year and now it's coming way down. whether or not the fed has to raise rates to more times i'm on the fence i think one more rate increased to keep nudging the inflation rate down but i don't want the fed pushing us into a recession. ashley: stephen moore a little flummoxed, thank you so much for joining us, we appreciate it. >> happy fourth of july. congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez repeating the president biden for the student loan bailout plan, what is her issue with the idea?
9:23 am
>> she does not like the fact that the interest payments are resuming during the ramp-up period for the next 12 months. what really stands out and shocking if it's tax the rich and you hate the rich, the penn wharton model said 70% of all student that comes from the top 60% of earners, the federal reserve conducted a survey on the consumer finances back in 2019 the top 10% of individuals hold 17% of the debt that's way more than the bottom 20% of earners. if you want to tax the rich pulling this back in theory is a good thing and you heard from previous guests this inflationary once you start to do this in a pull back the consumer a little bit and pull back the economy in inflation is that regressive tax it can help solve that. >> you should give aoc a call. thank you. let's take a look at the features as we head toward the break and next bag as we get ready for the opening bell, the

9:29 am
is there more room to run on the stock? >> is one of the things were people argue all the time but all we have to do is look around, there are chips in everything, a.i. is not going back in the bottle. somebody has to power all of that, nvidia is the clear leader and it's expensive but i see 10 - 15% coming on top of all the other gains this year. ashley: let's talk about big tech a lot of people say too late if he did not get done on the rally, what say you. >> i think that is foolish and naïve and this is an inflection point with electricity, penicillin. if you don't buy now, five years from now you going to be kicking yourself saying i really should've bought. it appears expensive in the rearview mirror is not going to be. >> i gotta ask about secretary yellen she's going to make a trip to china but you say she should be benched, pretty harsh words. >> i'll tell you what i mean that respectively but she's an

antiquated thinker, she's arguably played a serious role in where we stand today vis-à-vis what chairman powell has to deal with in an idea of appease the chinese with all of our debt is flawed. i don't think she's a player that we want over there right now. >> what should she say to beijing with her counterparts, what should she be saying. >> i think they should have a very frank discussion about who owns what quite literally and who needs to produce what. if china wants a seat they have to step up, play ball and act like a global reserve not just steel technology, overrun negotiation and borrow from the dollar. ashley: always terrific information, thank you for joining us on this monday. as you can see the flags are waving and were up and running in the market has opened created abbreviated session we will close at 1:00 p.m. for the holiday. let's have a look at the gate at

9:32 am
suppliers to come up with 130,000 units. the initial number was asking for a million in the next 12 months that is a huge drop i'm looking at supply and demand challenges. ashley: the stock down a tenth of 8% today, let's get back to tesla talk about that with keith fitz-gerald. we discussed the huge surge and deliveries, what else did the report tell us. >> will get a lot more on the reports july 19 but beating the street by 20000 the numbers were for 66 deliveries versus 447. this speaks well for tesla production ramp, they are manufacturing and 0 issues. really making a big turnaround and it continues to reiterate china is the golden goose and wedbush always says don't count out tesla when it comes to china. >> he got a lot of pushback for trying to bring the price down but he made up in volume and attorney margins but not as much
9:33 am
the price cuts are working, this is a strategy. >> the other ev makers getting a push from the tesla report. >> this is really interesting i mentioned china the golden goose, price cuts are working in nio undercut in terms of pricing from a domestic manufacturer in china and deliveries are up 74% month over month. year-over-year in june down 70% but the monthly numbers showing from the demand side we were worried about china's economy in the ev's holding up. ashley: let's switch to the airlines. how is united dealing with waves and cancellations from the weekend. >> you want 30000 frequent flyer miles or get to your desti destination. ashley: i want to get to my destination. >> that's a problem united cannot get to their giving 3000s
