>> devin archer was hunter biden's closest business partner and friend. if anyone knows what was going on in those foreign business

dealings, it's devin car cheryl: congressman. >> i wonder whether this is gathering towards hunter biden himself having to testify. >> what would it take for everyone else in the press to finally pay attention to this story. the more we learn about this, the more questions arise and the worse it looks i would say for the bidens. >> i've said it before, 1999 where every analyst kept raising and raising our price targets and then all of a sudden the bottom fell out. >> ai is a sustainable technology. it is ground breaking but we have to see the proof is in the pudding. >> other guys are spending lots of money. we haven't spent any. once labor day hits, you'll see it go and that's when the time is to hit it hard. we've got a country to save, and there's going to be no shortcuts. no one will outwork me in this and no one will outsmart me.

stuart: ladies and gentlemen, we have youngsters in the studio and i said we're playing the beatles and i asked them to name the four beatles. these are youngsters probably in their 20s i think lauren: no, 19? stuart: 19? name the four beatles. can't do it. these youngsters. what do they know? it's 11:00 eastern time and these guys are feeling bad. it is 11:00 guaranteed and monday, july 24th. look at the markets. the dow is now up nearly 200, nasdaq up 21, s&p up 18. a little later i'm going to ask a hot shot analyst if he thinks -- if he agrees with me this market wants to go up. are you ready for that one? okay, show me big tech please. all of them except for amazon and meta are on the upside. alphabet, apple, microsoft up. amazon, meta down. 10-year treasury yield. where's that this morning? down a bit, not much. you're at 3.83%.

it's monday morning and that's the market. now this. coming out of the pandemic, lower paid workers were hit with inflation that wiped out their income gains. they lost ground. they're not happy. now we face a summer of labor discontent. it will be disruptive and it's not going to help president biden either. the biggest immediate threat from the teamsters at ups, strikes threaten for next week. union is angry and inflation eating into the wages while they say company profiter haves soared. about one quarter of package delivery taken by ups. that goes out, chaos. 100,000 hollywood writers and actors already on strike and unhappy about ai and huge salaries pulled down by media moguls. at the end of this week, flight attendants at american airlines hold ago strike and united had to offer pilots a 40% pay raise

spread over 4 years to prevent a strike. ford and auto workers have begun contract talks and union president said 150,000 members are prepared to strike. economically it could move the country towards a new bout of wage inflation, politically it hurts biden. he keeps saying he's the most pro union president ever. the workers have take that as support but voters don't appreciate having their summer disrupted and if workers win big gains, others will make big demands. it is the summer of labor discontent. that's the way it is. third hour of varney starts right now. steve forbes joins us this monday morning. what do you think, steve, with the strike ifs they occur.

hurt biden politically? >> of course they do. that's why a little over a year ago they worked really hard to prevent a railroad strike and they're happy united didn't make a bad situation even worse. so fine to say you're pro union but you have to deliver and that means as you say higher prices. economically does it mean new wage inflation? >> wages go up and have to recover in the marketplace. you can understand why workers want it. they've been falling behind thanks to biden inflation. thanks to biden spending, thanks to never ending array of regulations and now they're after lightbulbs, portable heaters, air conditioners. everything you want. they want to make our lives miserable. biden makes our lives miserable and he'll suffer politically. stuart: listen to this, white house adviser jared bernstein insist the economy is improving because of bidenomics. watch this.

>> we have a unemployment rate that's been blow 4% for over a year and a half. that's a 50-year record and over 13 million jobs since this president got here, 800,000 in manufacturing and inflation now down two-thirds off of its peak. if we were talking a year ago, inflation would have been two-thirds higher than today. the gas price down $1.50. now with bidenomics in action and some of our investments playing out, 35,000 investments and 4500 communities across the country, we are starting to see results. stuart: he says everything is just fine, steve. are you buying it? >> well, yes, and i've got bridges i'd like to sell him if he believes that stuff. it's like saying the kansas city royals are going to be in the world series, not. the blot tom of the bottom line is they're trying to take a bad situation and say by golly, prosperity is around the corner. it's bad but you don't know how good it's going to become. keep us in. bernstein giving him credit for going over and saying inflation is down. what was it when biden took

office? still about half of what it is today. stuart: you're not buying it? >> and the deficit, he didn't mention the deficit. a year ago biden said i'm the great deficit fighter. this year the deficit is up over 200% $150% over what it was a year ago. >> see if he pace a political price. stuart: pays a political price. you could say that inflation is down. 3% of the consumer level. you called say it's come down -- could say it's come down. price of gas has come down. >> yes, but standard of living is lower since he took office and 3% means prices are still going up. they're not going down. certain areas like eggs and gas that may go down for awhile but can easily go up again. core inflation, i love this stuff they come up with. it's much higher than 3%, closer to 5%. and for consumers, look at their credit card debt. is that a sign of prosperity? record levels of con super debt at these -- consumer debt at these interest rates? stuart: wow, steve forbes pounding the table on thornhill

tore these topics. you're agitated. >> it's monday morning and i hate being told things are so good all though the yankees won this weekend and i can't be too grumpy. stuart: steve forbess, thank you very much. time to look at the market. why not, i see the dow industrials bottom right hand corner up 178 points and nasdaq is up only 6. s&p up only 14. but the dow doing quite nicely. jason katz with us this morning. i think this market just wants to go up. >> i think you're right. lauren and i were chatting about this this morning. so many people said why would i put my neck out when i can get a 4-5% tax preferred -- stuart: i said it. that was me. >> exactly. and present company included and know there's a bit of fomo going on. think about corporate earning season and 20% of companies thus far and 40% reporting this week.

66% have beaten thus far and have beaten by roughly a 4% margin. there's clear evidence recession is not off the table but they're recede. if that's the case and equities look more appealing and where they're more appealing is outside of where you put money to work in that fang complex f. you take those seven megacaps off the table, which have driven 75% of the performance, the multiple of the rest of the market is around 16 times. not cheap but noter and dna tieback either. the sensitive areas of the market that i'd be keen on now.. stuart: i put money into uber. i put quite a lot of my money into uber last week. was i wrong? it was wasn't fomo but they declined in inflation and that's the point i want to buy.

>> there's a very ken p company specific catalyst and it's invasive and i'm missing l train and hop on. we said this ad nauseam on your show that the vast majority of gain comes from a handful of stocks and you have to stocks there's very investable parts of the market and industrials and energy and things like preferred stocks. why not have your cake and eat it too. get paid 6, 7% on preferred and buy a bank-issued preferred that's down in sympathy with scb and all the banking crisis and down around 10% and if we're at peak inflation and we're at peak rates, buy that at a discount and get paid 7, 6% while you wait. stuart: you're askingtous be very-- asking us to be sophisticated. you got this. jay con, you're all right. thanks for joining us. educate the youngsters too. jon john, george, paul and

ringo. lauren: and which two are dead. stuart: r you had to bring that up. lauren: living beatles are paul mccartney and ringo star. stuart: very good. tell me about spotify and why it's moving down. lauren: yeah, down 5%. they're raising prices for all of their premium plants. the stock was up. ad-free subscriptions is up. satellite radio received downgrades from multiple wall street fi firms and pivotal cut entirely to sell. stock down 10% and morgan stanley cut by $1 and down to 440 and citi going to 360. i can't tell you .y i just have headlines and all that is happening. stuart: 010% down, okay. especiaeste lauder, that's a coc company. lauren: they own mac. very trendy and popular among

young people in particular and popular in china. record youth unemployment in china and tops 20% and piper sandler is cutting este lauder, the owner of mac, because the china recovery isn't happening. stuart: that's the company reaction of mac that i've never heard of. now this, you've got it on you. lauren: everyone has mac. i think you wear mac every day and don't even know. stuart: that's probably true, i don't know. i've got to fly. barbie smashing records at the box office. whoop de do, roll tape. >> hi, barbie. hi, barb reigns leading. >> hi, barbie. >> hi, barbie. >> hi, ken. >> hi, ken. stuart: look what i missed. okay. movie theaters had biggest weekend since before the pandemic. as we like to say, we'll break down the numbers. the top big tech firms, they sign a white house pledge to address the safety concerns of

i want him to be on there. the networks want him to be on there and he's one of the world's best debaters and it'll be great for ratings and we, you know, frankly it's going to be the show, and we all love the show. i would encourage him to go and i want to see him just knock down these various challengers and move onto how he's going to beat biden and win the general. look, i think it certainly makes sense for him not to because he turns himself, you know, everybody will be taking shots at him. stuart: yeah, it is understandable after all. i got that one right. we got this new gallop poll, i'm sure you've seen it. it shows only 36% of republicans have strong confidence in our higher education system. only 36%. do you think education will be a big republican issue next year? >> i hope so and glad to see president trump, governor desantis and others talking about it. look, stu, enough is enough. what other industry has you load yourself up with debt, pay

means committee and said all along we're going to follow the facts and that's in fact what we're doing, and the facts are leading directly to the president on numerous instances and it's quite alarming what we saw coming out with this testimony in the oversight hearing. anyone should be concerned, and you just look at what the irs whistle blowers stated from the tax years of 2014-2019 where they did the investigation, there was more than $17 million that was paid to hunter biden and his associates from foreign entities, $8.3 million directly to him. in the tax year in 2014, he had more than $400,000 from burisma where he never paid any taxes on it. guess what, they delayed the investigation from such an aspect that the statute of limitations has now ran on felony prosecution from that in 2014. stuart: the president has consistently said he never

talked business with biden -- with hunter, his son. the new york post story comes close to catching the president in a lie because these, you know, dial it in on speakerphone conversations, that belays the lie. >> stuart, if you look back to the president's first comments back before the election, he said he knew zero about his son's business dealings, and then after we released the whistle blower testimony that had the what's app message that said that hunter biden was talking to the chinese business partner saying i'm waiting for the phone call seated next to my father. then the white house came out with a statement saying that the president did not have a, you know, business dealings with his son. it's starting to move. one thing about t these two irs whistle blowers that came before congress, their testimony has not changed. however, the testimony or the

comments from the prosecuting attorney in delaware and the biden family is what's been changing. stuart: got it. another subject. you are the powerful chair of the house weighs and means committee. one of your jobs is controlling spending. how is that going? >> you know, they're starting the aprop ration -- aprop rations process right now and -- appropriations package and the debt limit requiring the appropriators to spend less money this year than last year and that's the first time it's happened in ten years. there's a grind between the republican-controlled house and the democrat-controlled senate. stuart: outright warfare. >> looks like house republicans are against even senate republicans when it comes to spending. a lot of folks like to spend money on the other side of the building. stuart: you're going to have a very tough time really cutting spending. it's an extremely difficult thing to do in america, isn't it? >> once you squeeze the tooth paste out of the container, it's a bit more difficult to put it back in, but we have to do it. $32 trillion in the national

debt. it's a snagsal security issue. national security issue. stuart: okay, congressman, this may sound a little picky but you've launched an investigation into ford, ford motor companies for hiring chinese, not american, workers at a michigan battery plant. >> stuart, i'm very disturbed and since february when ford came out with a partnership with cattle, a chinese company that's very close to the ccp over there, we've sent letters, we've sent responses. i said early on as chairman of the ways and means committee i will not only have oversight over the irs and other federal agencies, but i will have oversight over those woke corporations that have shed their american identity to become beholden to china. unfortunately it looks like in this situation, the chinese will profit off of u.s. tax dollars if ford continues to move forward. stuart: will they employ chinese folks to work in the battery plant?

>> they absolutely will. we've asked ford in our letter that we sent on friday, myself and the chairman of the china subcommittee mike gallagher, asked for these questions. we want to know how many employees they'll v the licensing contract, several things. the first time we sent a let tore ford, it was kind of just like we're not paying attention to you. we sent it again and they better pay attention to the letter. stuart: you want to shut this battery plant down? >> i want to make sure that american tax dollars are not going to the chinese communist party and in this situation, they would be. the concerns that cattle, the company that ford has entered into a licensing agreement with force labor should disturb any american. stuart: we've covered a lot of ground. thank you for didding that. jason smith, chairman of the house ways and means commit too thank you for being here with us. >> thank you, stuart. stuart: come back any time. the job market in china so bad some people are getting hired by

reaching an altitude of 244 miles and now you know. don't forget to watch american built on tonight, 8:00 p.m. eastern only on fox business prime. back to the markets, please. business now for one hour and 12 minutes and i see green. dow's up 200, very small gains for the s&p and nasdaq. it is unfortunately likely to be the summer of strikes. ups has only one week left to reach a deal with the unionized workers, 340,000 of them. jeff flock is at one of the biggest hubs in philadelphia. jeff, what happens if there's no deal? reporter: they say, stuart, if there's no deal, they'll shut it down on august 16789 if there's a tentative deal, they'll continue to work till it's ratified but if they don't get a deal, they're out on august 1. there's a whole lot more trucks parked behind me i would think. how big of a deal is this to the country? i want to give you a couple of

numbers that drives it home. remember the last strike, 1997 for ups? i cover that had one. it was a couple of weeks long. back then we shipped about not just ups but all of us shipped about 16 million packages a day. this year, we're shipping 75 million package as day. it is a much bigger deal to the economy and i tell you, these guys feel like they have ups over a barrel. they worked through the pandemic, they say they're underpaid, they don't have air conditioning in their trucks. people know their ups guy. tends to be sympathetic and they've been practicing striking, pickets out there making strike captains and all the rest. we talked to the union this morning and, you know, they said, hey, we're solid on this, listen. >> we provide a service and as you see, this has boomed to astronaut cal level. but again, during this contract struggle, ups knows that and
