stuart: a little queen. have you ever heard of queen? lauren: i haven't i've heard of the song. i look at the screen. stuart: 1960s, eric clapton. lauren: you are a fan? stuart:. i saw the song clapton is god. i saw that. good morning, everyone. 10:00 eastern, straight to the money. the dow is up 200 points, us be a couple stocks in the dow industrials which are sharply higher. the nasdaq is down 87 points as we speak. the 10 year treasury yield is going up again. 3. 83%. the price of oil in the high 70s, $76 a barrel, bitcoin around $30,000 a share.

30,200 as we speak. important numbers just coming to us, important for realtors across the country, the latest reading on existing home sales. lauren: more than expected declining 3.3% in june to seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.16 million units, inventory of unsold homes, 3. one months supply. that went up a little bit. median price, 410,000 $200. stuart: that strikes me as a weak marketplace if you are only selling 4.1 million existing homes on an annual basis. lauren: all your existing home sale people, 70% have under 4% mortgage rates. you are not going to trade that. the fed is good news because

they can sell this. stuart: no impact on the dow but homebuilders are down across the board. thanks very much, that's the market. now this. the president will arrive in philadelphia later this morning to deliver a speech claiming success for bidenomics. he will speak about job creation, low unemployment and receding inflation. that's fair enough. he is running for reelection. of course he will play up anything positive. when he is in philadelphia he will not see the problems that arguably could be laid at biden app store, crime is out of control, defund the police didn't help, did it? drugs, especially fentanyl have wrecked that city. we reported on street people with rotting flesh. biden's open border did not help the drug crisis, did it. migrants, another busload arrived yesterday from texas.

the open border isn't helping philadelphia, just as the president arrives the whole country is learning more about the biden family's corrupt financial deals, those irs whistleblowers expose $17 million worth of payments for no apparent work. i can't imagine, with shift yard workers with him the president will meet today. biden should drive through the city and go see the drugs, homelessness, the stores where everything is locked up. the empty office buildings because workers are scared to come to the city. it is a democrat city and our democrat president should go see what is happening in the city of brotherly love. second hour of varney just getting started. ♪ stuart: jason chaffetz, the president is not going to see

the problems in philadelphia. do you think the media will pick up on that? >> no, obviously not. but you are absolutely right. the president offers no solution to the fentanyl problem, to the crime problem, to the homelessness problem. not even attempt to have a solution, the democrats who have been running the city for so long, if you are not going to enforce the laws, back the blue, if you are not going to fight to reduce the cost of energy you are going to have this rapid inflation that continues to persist, wages are outpaced by inflation. that has been the case for a long time. those are the things about bidenomics to talk about. stuart: the big story of the day, we watched the irs whistleblowers testify yesterday pressed on investigations into the president. roll tape.

>> you stated to cbs news there were certain steps you could not take that could have led to president biden. >> references to the father of subject president biden and in the course of a normal investigation, the subject's father is related to the finances of the subject, normal course of the investigation we would have to go into that information to properly vet the financial flows of money in the investigation. of the one lot of points were made yesterday. what was your take away, what did you focus on? >> it was not a full and complete investigation but they are going to get into a plea deal, attorney general garland and mister wise, us attorney in delaware, somebody is not telling the truth because to say that it is an unimpeded investigation is not true. these people -- the democrats did nothing to refuse what

these two had to say. they didn't make an attempt to discredit them. stuart: in fact, it was a democrat who inadvertently revealed that president biden had indeed talked business with his son hunter. we didn't know that before. >> the democrats confirmed it and part of the testimony that came out, andy biggs, congressman from arizona, that hunter biden was spending money as a business expense for president biden to travel, to be with him on a business trip. i don't understand how in the world the traditional mainstream media continues to ignore this story, it's one of the biggest stories of corruption we have ever seen in politics. stuart: thank you for being with us. i know we will see you again soon. president biden announced his

reelection campaign headquarters will be in delaware. why the republicans taking issue with that? lauren: they call it a shield. it is déjà vu, that was headquarters in 2020, even though headquarters were philadelphia but he was relegated to the basement. also where he spent 1/4 of his time so that is how some republicans feel. they also want biden's two delaware homes to have their visitor logs released. stuart: that is interesting. biden has been touting bidenomics. he is out there. is it resonating? >> of monmouth university paul, 52% disapprove of resident biden's job when it comes to inflation because inflation robs you every time you get your utility bill and he is out there touting bidenomics saying you are making more money but you feel like you are not.

30% say they are recovering post pandemic and that's not a big number. stuart: not by any means. back to the markets please. netflix and tesla reported yesterday but you don't like either of them at new lower levels. what's the story? >> reporter: no chance i not like netflix because their earnings over the last year are down while the stock has been a valuation move and sales growth is in the low single digits and that is inclusive of the password deal they got going. i don't think it's a growth company anymore. i think valuation is high. i stay away from it. tesla, different story. i think right now a lot of these big names are priced in, i don't see anything wrong with tesla and i'm looking at their battery business going forward.

i think it will be gargantuan. if i do get back into it it will be because it's a huge growth industry for them and a lot of automakers will adopt their batteries. adam: do you think we will continue with this steady as she goes gradually rising market? is that where we will continue it? >> the market does not gradually rise. it has certain days, the bulls are smiling, the bears will be smiling. i will say this. the broad market bottom and woke up on june 2nd and it continues at this juncture and that is the area to go to, that's the best place and one of my favorite areas on a technical basis is the regional banks, off of the lows and they

are underowned and underloved and if they ever normalize they have a long way to go to get away from what happened with silicon bank and the other ones that went out of business. blue one for someone in their 70s, what's a mix what the mix of stocks and bonds? 70% stocks? you've got 20 seconds to answer. >> you are getting 5% on money markets but always use a sleep indicator. if you can't sleep you have too many stocks. stuart: that's what my guy said to me. thanks for joining us, see you soon. lauren is looking at the movers. lauren: stock is one hundred 50%. americans are buying new homes because they can't find old homes. we gave you the existing home sales report at the top of the hour. so use the pace, the slowest pace in 14 years, supply is the

issue, 400,000, by the national association of realtors. one out of 3 homes sold about their asking price last month. this is an affordability issue. that's the same. stuart: a contradiction. bidding wars at a time you have a difficulty of 40 minutes. what does that tell you? some people have a lot of money. let's have a look at carvan a. lauren: they were downgraded to sell. they reported their earnings yesterday and better-than-expected restriction happening but already baked into the stock which doubled in the past month. stuart: doubled in the past month? we missed that one too. estée lauder. lauren: down 3. 5%.

stuart: on the markets this morning, dow industrials up 170, the s&p is down 12 and the nasdaq one hundred 25. j and j, goldman sachs, both up, both dow stocks and are adding 95 points to the dow industrials, 95 of the 170 points accounted for. and this, russian troops launched the third night of drone attacks on ukraine, concerned about russia targeting ships in the black sea as well. alex hogan joins us. this is all about stopping ukraine's grain exports, right? >> that is right and russia is take it a step further issuing this warning that it will see any ukrainian ship as a ship

that's attempting to move military cargo. keep in mind the black sea grain deal not only allows shipment of ukrainian grain and other food but protect these ships from any potential attacks. that protection is gone. moscow is clearly laying out how it will perceive attempts to continue those shipments. noting the warning came hours after volodymyr zelenskyy said that ukraine was not afraid and urged other nations including the united nations for support in the continuation of grain shipments through the black see. the threat of potential attacks on ships is causing wheat prices to soar on global markets but that is not all. russia also hammered ukrainian port cities once again for the third night in a row as you can see in this video of buildings and homes on fire, 21 people wounded and two killed overnight in odesa from russian missile and drone strikes.

new security assistance is on its way to kyiv. the parent tag on announced an aid package, the latest round will include drones in four air defense systems, artillery, munitions, vehicles and even defense systems to counter russian technology like drones which we've seen continuously use throughout the war. there are new satellite images we can show you of a growing presence in belarus showing construction on the base, reportedly using by wegner forces. it has been a month since the attempt an armed uprising of russian mercenaries on russian soil and now videos also show the leader of that group, welcoming other forces saying his soldiers will not return to ukraine but instead moving to another assignment in africa. >> thanks very much. lieutenant general keith kellogg joins me now. as you just heard russia's

drone attacks in odesa reportedly destroyed 60,000 tons of grain meant for export, this is a very aggressive move by the russians. wise putin doing this? >> thanks for having me. it's a response to what the ukrainians did on that bridge that connects russia with crimea. it's a real bridge and the road bridge that moves logistic supplies for the russian military. but it is deeper than that. this is a classic attempt by putin to continue to attack ukrainian infrastructure, now he's going after grain shipments and port facilities. waiting for the un to stand up. originally the deal, grain deal was brokered by the un and turkey to allow grain to be expanded. the 60,000 tons of grain that was destroyed, down for china.

it needs one third of the low yield countries like ethiopia and sudan, classic russia pruden going after infrastructure, no reason for it. i'm surprised somebody like the un hasn't already gone in. stuart: i'm surprised this has not become a major story because it's a major deal. artificial intelligence experts are warning our military is falling behind china on ai. is america falling behind china on ai? >> china is in the lead because they focused on the military aspect of it. the cognitive ability, the machine won't make things fast and hamper -- happen faster. that is 1000 million million computations per second.

i started with a slide rule, there was a movie 43 years ago called wargames. they let the computer take over nuclear exchange with russia, the soviet union at the time into got out of control. one thing that would remind everybody when you get into ai, keep man in the loop, person in the loop. if you let machines take over, with the speed they are doing and the speed they compute it gets out of control really fast. what the military uses it is simulation of warfare and decision-making because speed is crippling warfare and the chinese have seen that in advance. it is sort of like microsoft should be taking the lead on that. will come out of the commercial, not the military role. >> it is could go to the future. stuart: human beings can't be taken out of the control loop when talking weapons and missiles. you can't have that. >> no. not at all. that is my concern.

let them go weapons free, let the machines take over, you are always trying to get inside these decisions. it used to be what we called the loop, you want to get inside the decision, what they are doing, that's what ai is intended it to do to build that speed and decision-making but if you take the man or the person out of the loop, you have a big problem. never let the machines take over. stuart: we admire and need your expertise, thanks for sharing it with us today. appreciate it. president biden using an old law from the cold war era to change the status of illegals to legal. ashley is with us. how many migrants are we talking about? ashley: more than 500,000 according to cbs news, the biden administration using a 1952 provision in federal law that gives officials the

authority to grant parole to migrants which lets them enter the country legally without any visa. as a result, 541,000 immigrants have been granted legal status including latin america and the caribbean as well as ukrainian and afghan refugees. the only catch is the entry is limited to two years, immigrants would then need to have their status reviewed or obtain a visa at that time. meantime california governor gavin newsom is touting 4.5 million-dollar pilot program that will provide immigration assistance to undocumented farmworkers involved in state labor investigations. about half of california's farmworkers are undocumented. newsom says employers used the threat of deportation to stop workers from summoning labor claim so now they will get free representation. stuart: as in free lawyers. thanks very much.

proposal like republican lawmakers at the us chamber of commerce, they say the biden administration is only changing the rules because it lost several high-profile court challenges notably the ftc failed to block the merger between microsoft and activision. the chamber argues the rules will deny smaller companies access to capital and could stifle their growth. a case activision's ceos concerned about. >> when you look at the companies leading in our industry, talking about the best companies in the world, so many companies are competing in videogames but this gives us the opportunity to be effective as a competitor but there is no shortage of competition in our industry. >> reporter: critics say the biden administration is ignoring the positive impacts like innovation and in some cases lower prices, the new

china is burning call and they will keep burning coal. power matters and prices matter. they plan to keep on. stuart: you have a new study out, i believe it's casting doubt on the push for electric vehicles. you don't think much of the electric vehicle push, do you? >> i love evs and admire what elon musk has done, he friend dolly automakers. the idea of mandating, subsidizing evs is plain silly. my study points out the data in the very studies the organizations that are pushing for evs like the international energy agency, their own data shows they have no idea if and how much co2 emissions will go down in a world full of evs because all the energy used to manufacture the battery chemicals and materials, a lot of which are produced in china and coal-fired grids.

stuart: all this news about temperature changes, floods, rainfall etc. and a lot of people trying to link it to climate change. is there a link to climate change? is this severe weather caused by co2 emissions? >> the short answer is no. even the ipcc, international body's documents point out if you read them carefully they do not see, their languages cautious, they have low confidence of any linkage of current weather with climate change, they are talking forecasts for half century to a century from now. the hyperbole is understandable but no, they are not linked. today's weather is not linked to climate change. tomorrow, next century's weather may be possibly a little bit. stuart: we have to leave it, which we had more time because this is fascinating, direct opposite from what you read in almost all the conventional media and that is a fact, that
