the morning eastern time, new york city, midtown manhattan, nobody there don't tell me they came back to the office i don't think they have. 10:00 o'clock eastern we gotta get to the money, the dow up six, nasdaq up 52. ten year treasury not going that far this morning the yield coming in at 3.83% down a little, the price of oil coming off a little 72 or $74 a barrel. bitcoin little change 30200 that is the market on monday morning. five weeks to the republican debate six months to iowa, the election is coming here is the state of play, start with the republicans they are energized and a lot of choice plenty of position at this point, trump is holding onto a strong lead so strong he does not need to take part in the debate next month, that is not set in concrete but a 20-point lead why should he

take the risk that another candidate may take him on and shine. the desantis campaign has appeared to stall, is pulling has flattened out and he fired staff. nikki haley has also stalled in the polls that she's raised over $20 million that is more than senator scott who has been edging up in the polls. mike pence has not raised enough money from small donations to qualify for the debate. vivek ramaswamy has gotten a lot of attention he is young, energetic and brimming with new ideas. if you scan through all of these candidates the bottom line it's trump's nomination to lose. very different biden campaign, what kind of campaign is he running he only has four campaign staff that is it in the basement remains his favorite campaign location he brought in plenty of money but most from big donors that is the tale tell sign and politics. these days you need a lot of grassroots fundraising to show

that you have widespread support and you cannot discount the bad publicity the president received from his bad temper, his gaffes, lack of energy and force. frankly his strange behavior with the little girl in finland is getting a lot of negative comment what on earth was a man doing. bottom line i don't think joe biden will be the democrats candidate. i have no idea who will take his place. i do think donald trump will be the gop candidate but i have no idea whether he wins that's what politics is so exciting. we are just getting started. look he was here, all my left, not necessarily politically, jason chaffetz with us. are you with me, biden will not be the democratic candidate of the election.

>> i totally agree for a long time i thought he would not be the nominee by the end of this calendar year, you only have four staff at this point andrew running to be the president for the second term, for staff. they're smart enough to say when a higher anybody, but thank the money and will figure out who the candidate is going to be. joe biden will not be on the ticket, i do not believe. stuart: you thinking of gavin newsom spinnaker think you got a good shot, i think the wildcard is susan rice. susan rice is very close to barack obama. >> i think she's in the mix somehow somewhere whether she's pulling the strings or a candidate. he really likes her, i think she's the wildcard. avocado the harris, they cannot lean on the vice president. stuart: you are really shaking things up, here's another one. trump won't say it is going to

attend the primary debate. watch this, rot roll tape. ronald reagan didn't do it and when you have a big league you 50 and 60 points in some cases and some people are at 0. >> if you don't show up ron desantis has a good night and it cuts into your league. >> or 70 cuts into his leg he is going down in a couple, i think vic has done a good job. i haven't made up my mind. it shakes things up who stand out trump is not the debate and i understand if donald trump doesn't participate i think the country is worse when pitted under candidate. i blatantly say that, when they did not have the foreign policy

debate. the country was worse for it i don't like how they dealt with better men in the senate race, people voting i think it's healthy for america, even if you're 100% ahead of everybody, get out there, debate, show you the leader and kick everybody's but. that is the trump way, bring them on and he can push back. are you kidding me. you're going to take over the show, trump surprisingly tried to defend president biden over his plan to skip democrat debates with rfk junior. >> i understand why he doesn't want to do it. 30 or 40-point lead. i don't think he could do at all think is capable of doing it. he got a 30 or 40-point lead which is what he's got.

i don't think rfk expects he's going to be a debate, he is a very smart guy i don't think he expects to be debating biden. stuart: what do you think. >> i think donald trump has to take the position because that's a position that he wants on his side. exactly, rfk has a voice and he has more than 20% of the vote. president trump is right, biden cannot debate that is the problem he cannot do it. stuart: fortunately you've a lot of good information in your going to stay here for the entire hour. we'll get it out for the next 60 minutes here's where the 2024 candidate stands not just from fundraising, the campaign brought in 35 million bucks in the second quarter. governor desantis raised 20 million as president biden's campaign brought in 72 million. one of the biggest indicators for campaign is the cash on hand. the fec reports trump holds 22 million, cited attend scott

second with 21 million, president biden 20 million. we are not done with this yet. what do you make of the fundraising numbers. >> tim scott is playing well. everybody likes him even donald trump says good things about him. he has a lot of cash on hand. ramaswamy is interesting but he put $5 million of his own money. ron desantis had a strong quarter. the problem he's burning a lot of money. he had to lay off staff may be hired to be people at the beginning. tim scott is a surprising one. he sitting there in second place, cash on hand, good place to be. stuart: there is one more for you, senator joe manchin, he has a headline of an event for no labels, that group has been pushing for a unity ticket as a third option, 2024 race. what do you think manchin would run on a no labels ticket? >> he is in a tough spot i don't think he could win a west

virginia his 20 plus points down, good candidates in west virginia. he's doing the event in new hampshire was former governor of utah somebody who used to work for john huntsman. no labels trying to take position in this race saying he should switch parties. >> he should. stuart: the man is a republican. >> on some issues but he has empowered chuck schumer for a long time. i think he's in a tough spot. stuart: if there was a third party, no labels, would it take both away from the democrat or republican. >> i think it takes it from the democrats if i'm being honest. stuart: 100%. another 50 odd minutes to go. back to the markets. i see green, not a whole lot, nasdaq is up 60, dow is up 39. carleton english with me this morning, bank earnings last week look good. we'll get more tomorrow, bank of america, morgan stanley, banks are really important.

>> when you look at the largest banks, blowout quarters i don't know if i can get quite as animated as jason was in politics a few moments ago but you look at j.p. morgan incredibly strong, wells fargo the drain stronger consumer. the back half with the big bang should look at morgan stanley's and goldman sachs, dealmaking is down, that's good to be trouble, the thing that helped banks is rising interest rates because they could collect more money on the loans at the issue. stuart: what to the banks statements of the earnings report, what did they tell you about the consumer. >> when you see things like reserves going up yet net charge-offs increasing it's a scary number. what we see is normalization from the covid recovery because people were sitting on the huge cash piles for a while. again you know what to be too enthusiastic, were the connect 2019 but you hear a lot of the bank executives say we are still cautious because people are using their credit cards more and is it that they feel that they can pay the balance is off or will we see six month from now that the balances are going to become a problem.

stuart: what would you say to the following proposition, the top 20% of income earners in this country are doing very, very well. the bottom 50% of income earners are not doing well in their monies being enough by inflation. is that an accurate view of the economy. >> that's exactly what we see in the top 20% you people that can make choices. maybe were not going to europe are going to florida. but the bottom 50, you're making trout into choices what type of food you're buying. you hear the big-box retailers talk about consumers downgrading going from brand-name to generics, things like that. households are really feeling stressed and the making financial decisions everything will day of how to take care of their basic needs. stuart: biden did not help working-class people if at all, trump did if i recall, trump is only guy who actually raise the level of income of the lowest quintile in the population. >> if you don't tackle the energy sector and drive down the cost of energy, this problem stays here in perpetuity. it affects every industry and

joe biden, the heroes have no desire to drive down the cost of energy. stuart: the first thing i learned when i came to this country, gas prices are very important, politically and economically. thank you for joining us this morning. come back soon. elon musk says twitters cash flow has remained in the negative because of the near 50% drop in advertising revenue. he says the company needs to reach positive cash flow before we have the luxury of anything else. he took over twitter in october last year, a deal valued at 44 billion, that included $13 billion worth of debt. it is not going that well. still ahead taylor swift aaron stewart has proved to be so popular it's caught the federal reserve's attention. the central bank created to boosting our economy. jen psaki says republicans who claim that the military is indoctrinating our troops with diversity trading are pushing our right wing conspiracy.

have a point? it's one hour of the diversity training. >> she's totally disingenuous, they created a di board a whole department and agency with more than 70 recommendations, the implementing 50 of them, she's talking about one segment of the actual training. they want to do everything what about the equity, inclusion, recruitment standards, what about the idea of how you're going to actually do things and fight and win against the chinese army on the march. stuart: what about advancement. >> yes, the idea that they want to have a desired outcome, not based on the ability to do the job but based on the array that they want a preconceived notion of what they wanted to look like. instead of talking about lethality we want a military that can kill and destroy things that's what it military is for

is not about making sure were all politically correct. it's only one hour. that is not true jen psaki. you know it. stuart: he's animated, all good stuff. look at this is student at the university of chicago called out of class at the school which was titled the problem with whiteness. he did not agree so we posted the class on twitter. daniel smith and transmit is that student. what happened after you called at the class? >> thank you for having me. i want to paint a bit of a picture first of all. i'm a white kid from a middle-class household in tennessee. i get to this elite institution university of chicago and also that i express what i call antiwhite discrimination. i was banned from the debate tournament because i was white. a few minute later i find this class and is called the problem of whiteness. based off the title, what is that suggesting, there is a problem of white people or whiteness. it is totally racist and bizarre

rita called the class out on twitter and i named it the most egregious example of antiwhite hatred i've ever seen in a few days later the professor wrote this article saying i'm going to encourage an arm school shooter and a few months later cnn wrote an article calling me a bully in the new york times called me in instigator. all i can say about this black lives matter activists all the time they find races, they call professors and students and when a white student does in the cult cyber terrorist, bully. it shows the double treatment to second-class treatment of white people especially white students. stuart: have you got any support from the college or anybody else questioning. >> it's really ironic because the conservative paper on my school fired me they said i was too extreme. the school, the professor filed two separate complaints to get me expelled. my school fortunately refused to expel me so i have to apply to

chicago to do that. i want to use the platform to say if there are any white students listening from idling schools or other schools, you need to speak up. this is insane, seriously consider what this class title says. problem of whiteness. what is that saying, there is a solution? what is the solution. this is absolutely insane and is only going to get worse, this is clear antiwhite hatred. i have not received any support from the right or the left, they'd both been pretty hostile. stuart: real fast, 30 seconds, the professor said white people are damaging. >> this is not an exaggeration to say that we are entering straight up antiwhite genocide rhetoric. let me give you one more example. a psychiatrist spoke at yale and says she has fantasies of murdering white people. imagine being a white person in the audience looking around in your classmates are nodding in agreement. if your white student, speak up, the time is now because things are only going to get worse, the good treat me like this but there needs to be more students

the job. >> a chat gpt can write a tv scoop during movie script in no time at all. one of the big demands for writers is a artificial intelligence can't be used to write an original skip and transcript or rewrite one, that is key, i spoke to a number of writers in instances where studio had a.i. write the original script and then they had a writer come in and clean it up and there's a big pay discrepancy on whether the writing something original or your editing it. on the acting front are also worried about being replaced. a big part of that stems from a.i.'s ability to copy and actors voice or likeness in the fear without the protection that they are fighting for they might never get paid again or their likeness could be altered or doing or saying anything on screen, the studios have argued a groundbreaking a.i. proposal the actors union says it cuts. i was at the picket line on friday in los angeles and the negotiator had this to say.

>> the idea that these property should be able to take somebody's there voice, face and body control that without meaningful consent is unacceptable and there will be no deal unless that's resolved. >> the studio representative shot back, the current proposal only permits a company to use the digital replica of a background actor in the motion picture for which the background actor is employed. any other use requires consent for bargaining for the use. if you zoom out this is going to be whatever happens, signal to other industries. the fact that a machine could replace creative roles, that shows how the job industry in general is at risk. stuart: a machine can be creative. fast the bottom line we all have trouble. >> indeed. stuart: me included. now this, crime so bad in washington state the business owners are installing electric fences around the property. look at that. alex bacon is the owner of

you have to come in in the middle of the night and repair the fence, you cannot leave it open like that. and at the end they started stealing things like our vehicles, off-road utility vehicles, trailers. it got bad at the beginning it was petty stuff, towards the end it got really bad. stuart: had you not install the fence. would you have had to leave tacoma? >> we have a large investment the city of tacoma so we would be hard to up and leave but i probably would've had to move the bed in my office and start sleeping here tonight. stuart: who pays for the electric fence. >> we pay for its part of our security. previously we were paying for camera monitoring in different closed circuit camera systems. we found the electric fence was a much better option because it creates a perimeter security instead of a camera security. stuart: how unfortunate that is come to this. it is a terrible thing.

responsible i'm sure our adversaries are taking note if you want to get a powdery substance into a secure area of the residence of the president of the united states. the very people that are supposed to protect them will be able to do much to stop it. it's another blow to trust her institutions. if you look at the numbers i'll be quick. 14% trust a no justice. when you see this we tried to investigation people have questions. stuart: is it over, the investigation is over located not be resuscitated by somebody. >> that is the thing the secret service is we don't have the resources to interview the suspects that we believe may be involved in a goes into the one hundreds. the problem that is not a good enough excuse. outsource it to the department of justice, to the fbi, whoever you need to in order to continue this. if this was anthrax you think they would stop.
