stuart: a little rolling stones. it is 10:00 eastern. wednesday morning, some red ink, dow is down 40, nasdaq 41. the 10 year treasury, where is that going, it is down today. it is now at $78 a barrel, as for bitcoin, $29,300 a coin. we just received the latest news on home sales. >> the first drop in four months, down to seasonally adjusted annual rate of 697,000. the estimate was 725,000. looking for the price, we had a

double digit uptick in may, the first falling four months. stuart: reversal, first in four months. the early going, now this. drama seems to be hunter biden's middle name. last night before his court appearance top republican jason smith sent a 400 page brief to the judge saying hunter had benefited from political interference. you wants that included in today's hearing. that would upend the proceedings. late last night one of hunter's attorneys was accused of misleading the clerk's office, damaging information out of the hearings. lawyers say the result is unfortunate and unintended communication. that's what the judge says about that which brings us to right now as hunter appears in the delaware court to plead guilty to minor tax and gun charges. he's not going to prison. for six years, hunter failed to

report and did not pay tax on $17 million that came to him from questionable sources. he is fortunate to be the son of joe biden. the wall street journal says you would go to prison for what hunter biden did. what -- when he filed tax returns he tried to write off his drug dealers, liaisons and sex club dues. some of our viewers may remember leona helmsley who went to prison for deducting her personal expenses. she served time. hunter's dad is the president. the charge is hunter got special treatment and more importantly the government made sure he got special treatment by interfering in any and all investigations. that's a perversion of justice and a stain on this presidency. second hour of varney just warming up.

liz peek joins me this morning. you didn't pay tax, you would be in prison. >> or if i tried to deduct my sex club dues. this is such, they talk about a clown show, this is a clown show. to have two lawyers try to dupe the clerk of the court into throwing out the testimonies that could lead the judge to say this is not an acceptable plea deal makes your head explode. that's a cliché but this is unbelievable. the assertion the justice department slow walk and interfered there is no assertion, it's a fact, we know it is a fact. they allow for example the time so they can charge hunter biden on the more egregious things several years ago. the statute of limitation employed to narrow this

investigation into hunter biden and the plea deal is an absurdity and wouldn't it be great if the judge says no dice and it's possible she delays it? that's what people are talking about. of course the left-wing media will say it is a trump appointed judge. stuart: it is delaware. >> the cabal of political influence peddling is extraordinary. stuart: tell me about your piece titled new york times, great cover-up, how gray lady gets away from ignoring biden's corruption. there's a headline. >> i don't think they do. their reputation is in the gutter at this point. this came about, i know people will say how naïve can you be to expect them to be a fair journalist at this point, fair -- this was a once great paper that trashed its reputation. this came about because

thursday last week, botta physical paper because i wanted everyone to know about these investigations. friday, saturday, sunday, not a word in any of those papers about whistleblowers and the irs that have come forward, the fbi document which talked from a source talking about hunter and joe biden extorting the ceo of burisma for $5 million apiece, they completely ignored this entire can of worms and these are things that are showing up in right-wing media, this is in the house of representatives that these charges are coming out so do they think this is acceptable. today, there's a paper, there is a piece in the new york times about hunter's plea deal, total whitewash, doesn't talk about charges the justice department, which they have done. stuart: that's the story. liz: they don't want to have the story.

stuart: thank you very much. we've been talking about house speaker kevin mccarthy floating in impeachment inquiry into president biden. the other house republicans -- >> the house freedom caucus want him to do more than consider it. these members you are about to hear from say it is time to do it. >> the evidence -- what he has done some people think that what he has done isn't that bad. it's going to be an uprising. >> the evidence i have seen is overwhelming and would lead one to believe our president, our sitting president is corrupted and compromised. >> reporter: the evidence is piling up but is there a smoking gun? can you convince the voting public this wasn't a political tactic? we saw it happen two times with

the former president. i can tell you kevin mccarthy's tactic is continue to seek information, get your evidence about the biden family and his redline, this is what he told them, they are to withhold information, give us what we want, that is when to start the proceedings. stuart: this is a tool to get more information which is billed the case. a close associate to the biden family allegedly worked with attorney david wise during the time they took up the hunter biden investigation. >> from the washington examiner, let me give you the resume. he worked in the delaware us attorney's office when hunter was being investigated. he was press secretary for senator biden, campaign manager for bo biden in the state of delaware, member of the biden/harris transition team which laid the foundation for the department of justice, and

would be a conflict of interest. stuart: that is what it looks like. back to the markets. look who is here this wednesday morning. shah gilani back with us. big tech, is it still leading the market? >> still leading the market, numbers out of big tech are great. and read into the numbers but missing the big picture, top line revenue 8.3%, 10% on currency basis, investors a little nervous, as far as the cloud, as fast as it was from 2020 to 50% annualized rate, in the mid 20s. what they thought was an ai pop, hasn't happened yet. this is not a 50 yard a 40 yard the a sh, microsoft will been.

and the big names. stuart: should i purchase the microsoft to dip, 339, should i buy it? >> yes. we are back to buying the dip as mentioned a few weeks ago and everyone should be buying these dips, and and we may not get there if the market does come in nonprofit taking as i wouldn't mind chasing some of these, may not get the dip from 2009-2020. handful of dip, most people miss of those because they got scared, back where we were, big tech is leading the way. stuart: we expect one and done from the federal reserve, will

rate hike and done, is that what we get? >> as everyone reckons we got a hike today. i don't think they are done. the rest of this year, if inflation doesn't go below the 3% level and stay below that we can see another one in the fall, we see another hike at some point, was read through that and front run that and this meeting, the markets look past that. the cycle is near the peak and we will see rate reductions over a period starting in 2024. investors like that. as far as the hiking cycle. stuart: the. back. thank you very much indeed. lauren is looking at the movers, union pacific is definitely moving up.

>> 11% gain, a railroad, big earnings miss. wise up so much, the ceo, a previous coo, that's being welcomed on wall street. stuart: gap. >> they have a new ceo too. mattel ceo richard dixon will head up the gap starting at the end of next month. they've been on a year-long search for a new chief executive. they got one. stuart: a new ceo, 6% gain, must be good at this. lauren: think barbie, product placement. stuart: i think they are up this morning. lauren: their revenue rose 10%, big reason is mental health services which are people going back into doctors offices? a lot of people, this comes from therapists who prefer to do it over resume.
