>> the polls, i would caution. gov to the look at them state by state.

can't look at them nationally to get a true picture of what's really going on. the first votes aren't coming umm till january. it's a long way to go. >> the regulation haves gotten all the attention but there's bad regulations in the works for the appliance. >> a huge divergence in the economy and overall market. there's $5.5 trillion in money markets so if we do have any sort of meaningful selloff in the overall market, i'd imagine that will be stepped in a bought. >> make not a soft landing or a hard landing but a long landing and there's so many things out there we can't ignore, stuart, that we're going to have some tough times ahead. stuart: well, that's taylor swift. 11:00 eastern time. i'm sorry, i'm sorry. tuesday, august 3. yes, we are playing taylor swift because of this. according to tmz, she gave

$100,000 bonuses to each truck driver working her eras tour. she has about 50 truckers working for her so that's about $5 million in bonuses. good for her. nice stuff. lauren: wow. stuart: back to the markets, please. a tiny gain for the dow, modest loss for the nasdaq, not that much price movement so far today. big tech mostly lower this morning. i have -- let's see, i have a couple of winners, meta and microsoft and alphabet, apple and amazon on the downside. 10-year treasury yield, where is that? it's above 4% and going up. 4.04%, not good for the nasdaq. mike murphy here to cover the markets. you know what i want to start with, the stock that you suggest that had i guy two weeks ago, uber. i went out and bought it. they reported this morning, the stock went up and now it's down, show me uber please, down about 3 or 4% last time i checked. lauren: down 6.25%.

stuart: 6.25%! lauren: yep. stuart: what's your name again, mike murphy. >> are you happy about the stock. are you up and making money? stuart: i made a little. >> let's talk about it. this is a perfect example of the reason i'm here, stuart, if you read through the earnings that come out today, uber ceo talking for years now about a push to profitability. they were profitable. first time they're profitable to the bottom line. they're going to continue that he says for the rest of the year. they're continuing to grow, they continue to have -- i talk about different levers they can pull. this is a perfect exact million for people waking up when uber was at 52 because they put up great quarterly earnings and say, man, i massed it. stuart varney got it and i didn't. now there's a opportunity to buy it. rather than trying to trade each day or each move in a stock, and i'm going to buy here and sell there. if you believe as i do that uber has a long way to go as far as make mag more money and more profits and that ultimately that

will translate to a higher stock price this, is a opportunity for you. stuart: i'm in it for the long term. >> good man. stuart: see where you're going with this. you do own it? >> i do. stuart: i do too now. microsoft, there's bad news. if we own microsoft, what's the bad news? >> it's not so much that it's bad news company suppose if i can, if you look they came out with great earnings and sock brand up quitely without anyone talk about it bull market and strong rally in the market and microsoft off about 10% recent highs and not get ago lot of coverage and people aren't talking about it and talk about chasing stocks and buying at the right time. something like microsoft has had this pull back that it's worth keeping an eye on. stuart: i'll give you a lot of credit because you've been saying you've got to be in the market and as you've been saying that, most of the indicators have gone up by about a third, 25 and a third. you've been right. >> thank you. you know, it's -- the story is still the same all though, you

know, i'm not saying the market will go up tomorrow report next day, but i'm going to say over the last 100 years, the market goes up every three out of four years and the market is the best place to have your money for the long term as a creator of wealth. rather than the biggest mistake people make is they try to get cute or time the market or get a tip from someone and try to move on that if they'd make an investment and keep investing their money, history tells you they're going to do w. stuart: that's very good advice. mike murphy, thank you for being here. stay with me for the hour, please. now this. it's early morning in new york city. i'm being driven to a medical appointment. there's a group of people in the middle of the street acting up and taking drugs. my driver is very angry. he says, they're migrants living in a nearby hotel. he says if i was doing that, i'd be arrested. what's happening to our country, he says? it does make you think, count it? now we find that in illinois,

governor jb pritzker wants to allow noncitizens to become police officers. doesn't sound like much but it's the c camel's nose crept under e tent. a nigh grant in a police uniform carrying a gun could arrest legal citizens and someone here illegally could detain a life-long resident. i'm reading between the lines and seems that the democrat haves a plan to allow entry to millions of people that will settle, work and eventually vote. that's what behind this. the democrats dream of a voting block ensuring election victories for years to come. it started already and municipalities in california, maryland and vermont allow noncitizens to vote. the migration of millions from central america to north america is already well underway. now comes their gradual integration. they're here, they're staying and they will work and eventually they will vote.

gianno caldwell joining me now. you're from chicago. is governor pritzker's plan going to make chicago's crime better or worse? >> you know what, stuart, i don't understand it. i'm not sure what the answer to that .s i know they need 2,000 detectives just to handle the current -- 2,000 more detectives to handle the current murder workload in the city of chicago. things are really bad there. in this situation when you have other 5 million people that have come across the border since joe biden has been president, 1.5 million of those folk haves been get aways. then you have almost 200 of those folk that are suspected terrorists. how do we know in this set of circumstances if one of these individuals they're going to hire as a cop has an alleges to another country? are there apotential suspected terrorist? those are questions people want to know. are they trying to figure out how our systems work here to aid and assist a potential person

coming across the border using the resources of the state of illinois? we don't know that but those are legitimate questions people want to know the answer to and this is a relatively bad idea. if it was wartime and you're allowing people to come into the military and we needed them and could vet them out in the right way, that may be a different set of circumstances. in this case, i don't see it as a workable idea. stuart: thank you for your comment, gianno. three minutes dedicated to abc and cbs on evening news and nbc nightly news didn't cover it at all. gianno, this is a major story about corruption in the white house and the media doesn't seem to care. take that on for us, please. >> well, silence is complicity. not only has the media been derelict in the duties of covering this but complicit in the coverup and the truth of the matter is this thing stinks to high heaven. if he was a illinois politician,

joe biden, he'd be in cuffs by now because we had multiple govern herb goes to jail. there's no way ailette matt news organization should be not covering this. i mean, they should be at least suspicious in asking questions, what is this about and you've repeatedly said you've never had any calls or rather any contact or acknowledge of your son's business dealing and you never asked any questions but he's putting you on speakerphone over 20 times with miz associates and you don't ask -- business associated and don't ask why or how? this is incredibly stink jim jordan at this point and i think the republicans don't have a choice but to move forward and collect for information and look at impeachment inquiry. stuart: i believe your brother was murdered sometime ago. >> yes. stuart: and you've been trying -- >> july 24 of last year. stuart: you've been looking and trying to deal with this with the authorities in chicago. have you seen the same kind of

media bias against your kind of story? stuart: you know what, stuart, i'm beginning to really think about that . i got -- there was a lot of coverage and highest profile murder in chicago but then when it comes to officials like the chicago mayor who knows who i am, knows very well who i am, but has ignored my calls and pleas for help. the detective not calling me back. i have begun to wonderful place ore is it in part because i work for fox news channel? is it because i'm a conservative? i know they know i've railed against them for many, many years and i continue to do so today. i do wonder if there's political bias involved in the investigation of my brother. i do wonder if me working for fox news is such a nonstarter for them they're not putting in the necessary resources to connect the dots on this investigation. i'm glad you mention that had, because that is a quo that's been -- question that's been wrapping my mind for quite some time now. stuart: gianno, i'm going to leave it right there. we feel for you and we're with you and hope you can get to the

bottom of your brother's murder. >> thank you so much. stuart: back to money, i want to look at caterpillar because it's way up. that's a record high, isn't it? lauren: it is, 285 and change. strong demand for heavy machinery and construction and mining industries and revenue in the quarter of $17.3 billion. stuart: norwegian, is that cruise lines? lauren: it is and stock down 15%. it yeah, the problem wasn't with the quarter that just wrapped but the forecast for this current quarter. they're expecting weaker profits. then the cfo came on the earnings call and said we hired a consultant to help us bring down costs but wall street is not convinced. the stock is up 80% this year. stuart: yeah, i remember the weak week before i went away, i mean, the cruise lines were our headline story. all of them were up. terrific. lauren: performing on the is to bees this year. >> were you on a cruise? stuart: no. i've been on a cruise once and i probably won't do it again. i just can't imagine being in a

small enclosed area with a lot of people who know me and i don't know them. >> okay. stuart: do you go on cruises? >> no. stuart: thank you. gap, what's the story on gap this morning? it's not the gap. they're up. tell us the storm lauren: okay, 2%. stuart: leave murphy alone. lauren: barclay upgraded to a buy. price target of $13. inventory issues are large reigns leading resolved by the end of the year and fewer sales but better margins for gap. stuart: okay. thanks, lauren. a new study reveals the best state in which to retire. florida didn't even crack the top five. oh dear. one congressman is warning about ai regulation. roll tape. >> tape players and 72 vegas and talking about technology and then you've got problems. stuart: i believe that's called sarcasm. there's more on that, believe

russian missile attacks continues and includes president shroud volodymyr zelensky and russian bombardment in the city has reached six people including a 10-year-old child. rescue crews worked for hours looking for survivors afterthe attack against a residential building early yesterday morning. this comes as ukrainian drones targeted moscow over the weekend and overnight. a high-rise building in the economic district of the city was hit twice. no serious injuries were reported and ukrainian drones have targeted russian positions in the occupied crimea in recent days and fast-paced battle in the air is contrary to the slow grind along the front lines and ukrainian military leadership reports along six square miles of gains and the effort deliberates territory from russian forces hindered by extensive fortification built by the russians in the east and south of ukraine.

russian president vladamir putin is open to peace talks and the actions of his military on the ground say otherwise. stuart. stuart: thank you, trey yingst in the middle of it. president zelensky say the war is returning to russia and the drone expert is brett velicovich and she's in ukraine and joining me right now. are these american drones hitting moscow? >> i think it's difficult to say. we can't really 100% be certain, but right now we don't know they conducted this drone strike and they're spouting lies and given the circumstances, i can't blame ukraine if they were indeed responsible. russia repeatedly struck at the heart of the civilian population and they're not intending to

prioritize civilian targets and we see these months of aerial bombardments on schools, playgrounds, hospitals and churches and they're highly incompetent with their strikes or there's a concerted effort of seen your levels of the kremlin to strike at innocent civilians. stuart: are they getting pushback from the united states or europe for carrying the war straight to moscow? >> i'm sure there's a lot of talks going on behind the scenes. i mean, i can imagine especially as the u.s. government is providing their weapons and continued support that they're very clear with how those weapons are used and that's why you don't see high mar strikes crossing that border so, you know, this reality points to the lethal drone technology and people don't understand the battlefield innovation taking place in ukraine. they're building in technology at this rapid pace. it's changing the face of war. it's just the beginning.

their defense technology cassioppi sequoyah celebrated cd and they're keeping up and they're building in out of necessity. the ukrainians are waging this low intensity conflict and they push this tech forward 20, 30 years at least. you know, they started this war at a disadvantage by size and disparity of force compared to russia. without this innovation, i think, you know, we'd see a lot more innocent people getting hurt. stuart: saudi arabia will host a ukraine peace talk conference this weekend. >> zelensky has this confidence and they want to take by crimea

and want russia expelled and you can't blame them and i don't know if there's a peace deal without that on the table. stuart: you talked a moment ago about drone technology advancing rapidly because of the war in ukraine. how about defense against drones. who's got a defensive system that shoots them out and re-librarily reliably before they land? >> a lot of electronic war fairs from the countries and -- warfares on the systems and counter drone systems that can stop russian -- defeat russian systems that can stop these chinese drones flying around everywhere and you're seeing a number of countries provide military grade counter drone systems with the ability to detect these drones in the air and shoot them out of the sky or jam them as they talk about in the community. again, we're seeing some incredible tech that i think

will be used on various battlefields to come. stuart: it's a drone war. part of the war, it's a drone war going forward. brett velicovich, you know what you're talking about. thanks for being with us. see you soon. >> thank you, stu. stuart: on the markets, dow down 20 and nasdaq down 70 and s&p down 17 points. look at american airlines. the pilot's union says it is board approved a new contract deal, pilots vote to radford fio the deal one way or the other august the 7. look at meta. interesting. i'm not sure i understand it and the developing different ai programs with different personalities. these personalities range from a surfer ai who offers travel recommendations to ai personality that speaks like abraham lincoln. how do you make money out of that? i'm eager to know. you're schwabing your head -- shaking your head. >> they want to make money from

the meta verse and now see it like the ai and like everything else, it becomes shot people are going to go things like this where they're going to try to put personalities on the technology and it'll go too far. stuart: what do you have, lauren? anything? lauren: nope. stuart: okay. leave it there. some olekowskiations are opposed to ai hawaii do you have on that lauren: congress cannot regulation artificial intelligence and they just don't understand it, which is the main reason. watch. >> got a bunch of guys up here wearing jc penny leisure suits with a-track tapes and talking about regulation. you want to stifle growth, put laws on it. lauren: that was a republican from tennessee, tim burchet. that was hilarious. not only do post people not understand artificial intelligence, it's moving too fast. even if you figure out sane ways to regulate it, i don't think

those regulations could keep up with the technology and you don't want to stifle it by overregulating it. >> elon musk says we need to do something to reign it in, but again to that congressman's point, the people who make our laws sure don't know enough about where ai is currently to regulate it properly or where it's going to be to regulate it properly. stuart: i would pose a pause on the grounds of ai that i want our guys to develop the best ai and beat the other guys and have us beat them. what's wrong with that? >> we talk about it all the time with big tech and change and innovation and disruption and want it from this country or china or somewhere else. that continues and this is great and cutting edge technology. see where it goes. lauren: the scary part is people that really understand it like

elon musk are begging for regulation. they're scared of what their power can do, the power of technology. when they say regulate it, you try to catch up to what they're saying but nobody knows how many stuart: the debate will continue. ron desantis wants vice president harris to come to florida. he wants to set the record straight about the new black history curriculum. will she accept? devon archer told house investigators that then vice president biden regularly joined his son hunter on business calls. democrats are down playing that testimony. watch this. >> there were niceties and hello and then we talked about the weather or whatever it was, but it was never any business. stuart: never any business. john levine is a political reporter for the new york post and has been following the story from the beginning and he'll join me right after this. ♪

the evidence was clear that joe biden was involved heavily with the business side and the business partners came to the white house and met with joe and even the new york times admitted in the article yesterday that it's long been known that joe biden met with the business partners and that's not been long known and denied by the white house for years. the goal posts are always moving and shifting in this one. stuart: do you believe that hunter may have stored ks with his father in encrypted various apps? is that true? >> we know that hunter biden used 16 different messenger apps in the life of the laptop. some are varieties like what's app and others are secretive encrypted services like signal or wicker. he downloaded wicker over 200 times from the i cloud over the life of the laptop. wicker is an app that's used -- contracts with the u.s. government, military, air force, army, maverick marines and owned

by amazon and bought in 2021. there's a nonprofit called marco poll low and they did a -- marco polo and they did a fantastic analysis of the apps. >> you can see the apps but can't read the conversations. that's the big problem here. stuart: donald trump is dominating in the polls and we know that . knewest new york time sienna poll show as 37 point lead over the closest rival ron desantis and any real pathway to victory for the candidate s? >> it's looking insurmountable and the logic was well and maybe he'll skirt by with a fleur ralety of 35% and now he's over 50% and not the only poll over 50%. even if the anti-trump field consolidated around ron desantis or any other candidates, trump

would sill win in a head to wed and looking difficult to dislodge. stuart: it's hard to dislodge trump from that situation and the president is buried further and further in scandal and making one extraordinary election if those are the two candidates. >> a republican nominee then covered in indictments, that we've never seen before. it'll be wild stuff. stuart: the president is at the beach. i think we have video of him enjoying the beach life. that's the new basement strategy. >> we'll see. you know, he went to the beach, i don't know. donald trump took lots of vacations too . i don't think the beach or vacation or golfing is really going to matter. but we'll see. stuart: it's a smart thing for the president to do. go to the beach or basement and keep quiet and use the tell prompter and don't ever just walk out and answer questions. >> he's right near the home where all the classified documents were found so maybe

they can do another search. stuart: car chasm is a low form -- sarcasm is a great form of wit. you've got a great voice. thank you very much, john levine. this as some of the world's largest asset man managers theye not on track and has companies softening their chance and ron desantis under pressure of the new black history curriculum in florida. watch that . >> you can't ben the knee to the learfield img's lies and when the left lies and creates a phony narrative, you've got to push back. stuart: one line of text is ruining what would otherwise be one of the most robin lou bust -- robust history lessons in the nation. jack brewer is next. ♪

stuart: that one word and seasons. take that out and the curriculum would be fine in your opinion; correct? >> not fine but applauded and shared across the nation. your know, florida is only one of 12 states that has a robust african american curriculum, and if you read the 216 pages of this one, it's probably better than all of them, stuart. it dives into all the complexities of the plight of slaves and african americans and other parts of black history particularly in florida as well. stuart: okay, you say that sentence or that word distracts from how far we've come. tell us how far have we come? >> i'm on this station as a black man that supports governor desantis and worked next to governor desantis and helped pass the most robust fatherhood in the country and an issue that's plagued the black community with over 18.6 million

fatherless kids in our nation. african americans like myself have been successful in business. we've been cubbing sycesful in the nonprofit -- successful in the nonprofit world and have individuals across the board that are now running companies, ceos of major companies like lowe's and other big fortune 500s and so the black experience in america has changed. we've progressed and i think we need to focus on those things. i don't think that we should take any steps back by talking about, you know, benefiting for slavery. stuart, the definition of benefit means an advantage. you've received an advantage. no one receives an advantage for slavery and the drafters of this curriculum intended for it to be taken like this. let's fix it, let's unit, and let's celebrate black mystery. which is american history. stuart: you want that sentence, that word you want that out. can you get that done? >> no doubt. stuart: stuart, you'd never put

the word of rape or holocaust or any type of plight, no human trafficking and never use that word in&the folks that wrote the curriculum and people pushing that narrative would never use that word dealing with anything like that, and i'm just asking to pay the same respect when you talk about slavery. stuart: okay, there's a former diversity, equity, and inclusion professional and says the industry is failing and dividing people instead of uniting them. how do you see this dei, uniting or dividing? >> dividing us. stuart, it's incredible when you see what boards are forced to do now. they're forcing you to look at skin color whenever you're putting anybody on board of directors and create companies across the country. i sit on board of gio group and we have one of the most diverse boards, the most diverse employee programs that is in the entire world and we hire folks of all shapes, sizes and colors

but still you have to face all of these questions and i don't think it's right. i think at some point in our nation the sec as well as all the other government bodies need to come together and start having people actually focus on uniting our country versus dividing it, making these hr departments look at skin color, look at gender and all these other things that just makes no sense. i think, you know, we're paying a price in our hiring and if you look across at our economy, i think it's -- companies are struggling and people are in positions that they don't deserve to be in. so i think we need to really reevaluate that and ask those folks running for president and office coming up in 2024 to be bold enough to actually live out what dr. martin luther king told us all and that's the content of our character. stuart: jack brewer, not afraid to say what he thinks. thank you very much, jack. good to see you on the show and

"climate change obsession is a real mental disorder". alicia finley wrote that and sitting heat index to me in the studios. that, alicia, is provocative. will you please make the case that climate concern is a mental disorder? >> well, i'm not actually the one who's saying this. a lot of progressives and liberals are saying this.

you've been reading in in an article in the new yorker actually 4400 -- or 4,400 words detailing how climate change obsession has become essentially an anxiety disorder and there are actually new inerms for this this. stuart: it's not the hot weather or severe weather itself. it's anxiety about it that's creating a mental problem. >> right. and people go into these spirals and they just can't stop thinking about, oh my gosh, what's going happen to the world. maybe i shouldn't be having kids because of their carbon footprint. and these same kinds of phobias and anxieties that, you know, maybe paralyze people in other different realms that is now translate climate. stuart: it's dictating policy on the basis of a mental disorder; is that accurate? >> i think what a lot of politicians are trying to exploit this in kind of

unintentionally and gender in anxiety and mental disorder and saying we need to translate this into something that's actually proactive and maybe people should go out protesting pipelines and that's a proactive way of dealing with their anxieties. stuart: are you a climate skeptic? >> i would not describe myself as that. i think carbon emissions can contribute to global warming but i think it's been blown out of proportion. look back and temperatures risen 2 degrees fahrenheit and we can deal with that and adapt. there's many ways to adapt whether to the heat or other kinds of hurricanes and i think a lot of the climate science is a little debunk. it has been for instance the hurricanes. the relationships between hurricanes and global warming and carbon emissions. it's very tenuous and i'm very skeptical about a lot of science that people cite to actually,

you know, support their positions. stuart: 30 years ago i remember my young son coming home from elementary school and saying how a younger lady, young girl, burst into tears because there was a sty robin lou foam cup in -- s styrofoam cup in the classroom and that was showing the end of the earth. is that what you're talking about? >> there's headlines proclaiming this is the hottest month on record and dealing with a dangerous heat. people think this is abnormal. no, we've had heat waves for thousands of years and somehow we've managed even without air conditioning; right. so somehow people now view heat as an abnormal -- abnormal sensation or abnormal event when it's not. that is in itself is mental disorder. stuart: this is fascinating. what kind of reasons did you get when that headline appeared in

>> i think i got initially a lot of positive response and people saying, well, did you really go to stanford? you can't be that stupid. a lot of attacks. stuart: you did go to stanford, didn't you? >> yes. stuart: and you did very well and one of the most provocative writers in media today. thank you for being on the show with us. we appreciate that. >> thanks a lot. stuart: seriously, we really appreciate that. next case, something similar and asset managers are backing off their climate change efforts. why the change? >> plainly, they're not meeting the goals of the net sow row emissions by 2050. lauren: that's according to a study that rates 45 of the biggest asset managers of u.s. and europe like blackrock and fidelity. these firms toned down climate change commitments and fewer share hold oar resolutions and bolder approvals of the resolutions, it's becoming politically unpopular in some states to invest money based on

climate goals. stuart: that's true. lauren: that's one headache for a company like blackrock also being investigated by a house select committee on china and says blackrock helped invest money in chinese companies that have been blacklisted by our government. therefore americans retirement money that goes towards the funds are "unwhittingly funding the ccp". stuart: larry fink has his enemies. lauren: many of them these days. stuart: straight to the tuesday question. allysia can play if she wish z because she went to stanford. how many earths can fit inside jupiter? 400, 700, 1000, 4000? the answer after that . to defend against erosion and cavities. i think that this product is a gamechanger for my patients- it really works. i'm saving with liberty mutual, mom.

they customize your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. you could save $700 dollars just by switching. ooooh, let me put a reminder on my phone. on the top of the pile! oh. only pay for what you need. ..

stuart: we asked, the earths could fit inside jupiter. alicia who went to stanford. >> 700. lauren: 1000. >> 1300. stuart: i'm going with 400. i'm going with 1300. nobody got it. >> we thought it would be single digit. stuart: did you get it? you looked it up. time is up for me. coast-to-coast stars, right about now.
