tell me i am wrong. it is, it is. lauren: i'm going to do that, we got t-shirts made. my friend did. stuart: you were dressing up to go to the barbie movie? 10:00 eastern. better get straight to the money. dow industrials up 130, rally in the nasdaq faded somewhat, it is up 32 points. the yield on the 10 year treasury coming down 411. oil, this is a problem, 80 one dollars a barrel and climbing, gas prices going up too. as for bitcoin, not much change, still hovering around $29,200, that's the markets on friday morning at now this. donald trump walked into court in dc and started a new phase of his presidential campaign, not just this campaign but any campaign we've ever seen. we arrived at this unique point

because trump is his own worst enemy and president biden desperately needs to divert attention from his family's scandals and his physical and cognitive decline. it's like they're running parallel campaigns, trump in court constantly, biden on the beach, the former president was booked and finger printed before quietly saying not guilty to each of the four count against them. the judge called him mister trump which some thought disrespectful. the new york times calls a defiant tone, he studied his name and age. didn't make much our contact with jack smith who brought the charges but as soon as trump left the courtroom smith was laughing and smiling and shaking hands with fbi agents who worked on the case. outside, trump walked over to the media and said this. >> this is the persecution of the person that' s leading by substantial numbers in the republican primary and leading biden by a lot so if you can't

beat him you persecute or prosecute him. we can 't let this happen in america. stuart: that how this confrontation is going, trump says it is a political persecution, democrats through the prosecutors say he is a common criminal who should be in prison. as if the whole country is being turned into a jury to pass judgment on a former president in the middle of a president shall campaign. biden is going to be judged too, the border, inflation, downgrade, the ruin of our cities, $17 million of influence peddling, he's hoping we will be so focused on trump in court that we forget what is happening to our country. second hour of varney just getting started. ♪ it is friday, you know what that means, fired up tammy bruce joins us every weekend i hope she's fired up today.

how does the country feel about this crazy set up for the election? >> reporter: if you do talk radio, you live in a city where you pass people on the street and have friends on both sides of the aisle you see where there is a trajectory. even from people who are independent or more liberal republicans who are tired of trump or exhausted, there is kind of a beat when you ask them about it and a silence and the theme that returns is this is not right. something is wrong, it transcends the usual bickering and politics, this has become absurd. why not do 10 indictments, why not charge him with a million things. at a certain point it becomes ridiculous, people don't just become an your to it, not in this kind of case but there's a realization it's not just about policy which is. you talk about the biden administration versus economy

had national security under trump but it is about the intention of the government, is the government -- are they so easily choosing to use the government's money and power and legality they hold over us to destroy a person because that individual threatens to reveal or create transparency or do things differently and if that is what has been happening to trump, then it is happening to us. what can we trust about this government which is not much, like jack smith is an example of the ronald mcdonald dynamic out of virginia. it ruined his life, bankrupted him, cost $27 million to defend himself over conviction that was overturned unanimously, vacated by the us supreme court and it took years but i am sure considered a victory by the democrats who stopped a man who's considered white house material for the republicans.

this -- we understand hardball, we are not cc here, we know how biden works but this is unacceptable for what the fbi does to the average person, what local police do and when it comes to reformation, to this kind of blatant abuse of power and trump is right, it should never happen in this country no matter what you think of trump, this is dangerous, has transcended something, it means something is not right. stuart: on the other side of the coin the biden scandals. in 2020 the biden campaign denied that president biden never had dinner with the burisma executive, devon archer now says that is not true. here's the quote. i don't think we've eaten yet but at some point it was dark, he entered the room, shook everyone's hand, a direct contradiction of what biden had been saying about these business meetings. >> this is different than the irs also blowers investigating

something, this is someone who is next to the principles involved at a meeting, looking at who is taking phone call and this is just one piece, that's important but this is also about learning about phone calls and messages and speakerphones and all of those things that we now know president biden might not have discussed the details but the power and influence is in him even just saying hi. that sends a message when you are doing it at a dinner and it is signaling i am with my son, this is what matters and so people are wondering, this is timing, you can get donald trump for having an opinion many people didn't agree with about the election and now that's criminalized but can't seem to get down to the bottom line about the bidens and that's where the irs whistleblowers came in, our investigations were thwarted, we were slow down, we were stopped, this is the dissolution of what mattered to

the founders, separation of powers, people being assaulted and being able to trust your government, still can stop it and there is a jury coming up and it is on election day and that jerry is going to be the american people as i hope donald trump's legal team understands the importance of letting him have his jury on election day. stuart: thanks for being with us. in the same vein, nikki haley has broken her silence on trump's third indictment. what did she say? lauren: to she is tired of the spectacle and it is time to move on. >> unlike the other candidate, i did not rush out a statement on trump's indictment for one simple reason. like most americans i'm tired of commenting on an trump. i'm tired of whether this indictment is the third, fourth or fifth. we should be focusing on how to stop china. we should be focusing on how to close the border, revoking

bidenomics, putting a 77 former president in prison doesn't do that. we've got to move on already. >> the rise above strategy. i agree with that but does it work when everybody else is talking about it and obsessed with it and fundraising off of it and that being used to define the election at this point. stuart: back to the market, get away from this election and put good stuff on the market. the nasdaq has turned south. a few minutes ago it was one hundred points, now it has gone to the south and the dow's gain of 140 has been reduced to 50. our credit downgrade presents a grim picture earlier this week. our debt, especially the interest we have to pay is extraordinary. this year, we pay out $660 billion in interest, just interest. that's $188 billion more than the treasury brings in from

corporate taxes. soon we will be paying out $2 billion a day in interest. incredible. market watcher joins us for the hour. that downgrade in the future has got to be a drain on stocks. >> it is because of the fear of what's going to happen but not now because it is a scarier headline than it is reality. look what happened, the s&p downgraded us in 2011, the stock market went on a 200% rally and you see investors initial reaction is nonplussed. you have to think we live in a relative world and other nations are in relatively worse shape fiscal even we are. we have unlimited ability to print money. i don't think there's a default risk, the downgrade is supposed to be about the risk of default. like my italian great aunt who made meatballs and there was never a risk of them running out, you just do you eat them

up and she makes some more. no different than the us government, we print money. they have the control. stuart: you get nasty inflation when you print a lot of money. >> that end ups being we get a recession, inflation. it will eventually come home to roost. stuart: have we seen the rise of meme stocks, tupperware and yellen both surged. what is it? 8% in the last week? what's going on here? meme stocks back? it is crazy? >> life is hard and it is harder if you are stupid and this is stupid. what is the last tupperware party anyone has been to? for me it is emblematic of yellow is up one thousand 62% in the last couple weeks. to put it in perspective apple since tim cook took over in 2011 only up 1200%. we are talking about company almost outpacing the gains of

apple. stuart: you don't touch these meme stocks. >> it's pure speculation. like the alt coins and currency, there's no fundamentals, it is pure speculation. markets are up and everyone is looking for placement. lauren: people feel confident enough to take on risk. a cheap selloff. >> you are just lighting it on fire. it could evaporate. stuart: thank you very much, every one. you are looking at some movers. i didn't know that was a software -- lauren: you access product via the cloud and they came out on the s&p answered cloud business is doing very well, they upped their forecast which management expecting sales from the cloud and cloud-based products to grow up to 30%.

blue when it is up 18%. how about tv -- lauren: 8%, 23% annual growth in their subscribers so this is another way to cut the cable. stuart: sinema. >> they swung to a profit of $120 million in the quarter on box office strength but you've got hollywood strikes, things are good now but future releases might be in jeopardy. stuart: you will help with that going to barbie, that is where you are going. don't criticize old guys when they slur their words. now this. restaurants in new york city built those outdoor dining sheds. have you seen them? that the way to skirt around covid restrictions, the city decided to keep them up permanently. not everyone is happy about that. many residents left portland to escape the rampant crime and

stuart: one hundred 87,000 new jobs created last month. at first markets like that because it was a sign of a softening labor market. now they changed their mind and up for a fraction of the dow, s&p and nasdaq. the white house is going to put more ice agents on the border. this is a way to process more migrants faster.

lauren: it is the initial fear interview. they are trying to speed up the processing and also to crack down on criminal activity that is happening up with human smuggling etc. . 60 ice agents going up to 200. that's a considerable increase but there special agents, they handle the investigation aspect of everything. the iowa governor, kim reynolds is sending one hundred 9 a viral's national guard to the border to help texas with operation lone star. more than a dozen republican states committed their national guard troops but governor reynolds is using unspent covid money. federal money given to iowa is being used to help. stuart: it has come to this. why are we not surprised. look at this. scenes from new york city on friday morning but migrants

continue to sleep on the streets, shelters overrun. and advocacy group accuses mayor adams of using migrants as props to get more help from biden. joe borelli is the minority leader, joins us now. the place is falling apart. it can't go on. what's your end game? >> these adversary groups are the ones to blame. they demanded we have sanctuary city laws, right to shelter laws, guaranteeing that as of tonight we have the population equivalent of helena, montana, migrants sleeping in shelters paying for every service from food to shelter. we have reached a critical critical point and i don't think eric adams is doing this to use them as props but i also don't think the theatrics of

what we are seeing every day is hurting adams. if you believe as i do that he wants to bring this to a end -- stuart: things are coming to a head. i've got new yorkers throwing up their hands, we can't go on like this. the middle of new york city crowded with people fresh from central america. when is it going to stop? house are going to stop, new yorkers want to know. where is this going to stop? >> that the question there seems no answer 4. we already leased over 100 hotels. there are no hotels that are willing first to do this, we built temporary shelters, the question is when are democrats going to come to court and we had 54 democrats sign a letter to president biden saying you have to declare a state of emergency. that's a good step, suffer elective moment of realizing this is a crisis that isn't

going to be resolved until the border gets shut down and the federal government starts paying for some of these people. stuart: things are going to get worse and worse, things are falling apart. i think the city is in crisis. >> i would start say so. the migrant crisis is costing more than the fire department and sanitation compartment combined. this is one of our single largest expenses as a city and it is the responsibility of the federal government. you complain democrats for making this a sanctuary city and demanding we provide these services but until mayor adams and the rest of his democratic colleagues really come to the conclusion that this will not end until they come to court, we are going to be having this problem in prosperity. blue when i hate to see this but the city is falling apart. terrible thing. thanks very much for being here. you just moved to new york

city. what do you think when you walk around? >> the state of emergency is not here. is at the border. politicians here are trying to address the symptoms. it is grandstanding. there was a piece in the new york post how florida real estate, the governors trying to work with developers to solve the housing crisis were new york city politicians are frustrated. this is the same thing here. press releases, a plea for more federal funding to address the symptom. it is terrible. these are human people. let's not lose sight of the human element but politicians are making it into a platform to compete against edits not working. no solutions that have been proposed which is the most angering thing. stuart: joe, come back in again. i want to talk about those outdoor dining sheds. new york city wants to make them permanent.

not everybody is happy with making them permanent. how about you? >> good news and bad news. we are going to make them permanent in the sense that we will allow them to be built every summer for four or five months and then taken down every winter. that is a positive thing. new york is one of the cities that made extremely difficult to have outdoor dining even though the rest of the world seems to like it, no surprise after the pandemic came and went, people just demanded we open up more outdoor dining locations so this is a positive thing overall. problems with the legislation, some people don't want to live under a nightclub and i can't blame them. making it easier for restaurants and small businesses to open up their sidewalks, open up some portions of their streets to outdoor dining i think is a net positive. stuart: some turned into migrant camps. joe borelli, start pounding the

table about new york city. come and see us in person soon. portland, oregon, saw a surge in crime during the pandemic. how much did it cost the city? >> they lost people in last-minute, a billion dollars in one years time, 2020-21, 14,000 people left in that one year. they are working from home so they can go anywhere they wanted and they were sick of the homeless in camas and tents popping up everywhere in the crime. rising crime. the census bureau says in total portland lost 3% of its population between 2020, and last year. portland always liberal but it was like a cool place where you could be weird. it had a buzz, no more. stuart: city after city after city, my opinion reached a tipping point.

crisis point going down and rapidly going down. is there any solution? >> actions have consequences. you might not like the consequences. we are seeing the consequences of extreme liberal policies in these cities and we have to pay the price. the city in washington that utilized every drug and in may of this year they had a spike in fentanyl overdoses, go figure, you let everyone do drugs, they went and reversed course, we need the pendulum to swing back, quickly. are advocating a hearing in new york city. where' s the urgency? i don't see it. stuart: profound financial consequences. tax revenue is down down down. lauren: where are those people going? they are going south. tennessee is a power center, texas, power center. changing the dynamics. >> it will never be a power center. stuart: it is not too late to

tim cook says the us is a challenging smart phone market, emerging-market couldn't make up the difference. see her record quarter for services. i include apple tv plus and i asked him about leon massey joining enter miami which is financed by apple which has rights to major league football. you call it football, i call it soccer. really helps mls. india had a record quarter, the first two stores they opened during the quarter, he's pleased to report early results are beating their own expectations and we start production in 2017 and ramped up larger volumes. citizens on the supply-side and demand-side and will continue to invest in the country because we believe in it. i had to ask about artificial intelligence, the hottest topic intact. cook says we are doing research across a wide range of ai

technologies including generative -- janitor of ai and we have been doing so for years, investing in the area or investing a lot. amazon meantime, biggest beats in 3 years for earnings, cloud and aws doing better-than-expected and on the call you heard ceo talk about stabilization off of re-acceleration with the ai boom and i asked amazon's cfo if they are done with layoffs and jobs after cutting 20 s. . so generally, they've been very careful, still talking head county except those positions are still mindful of cost structure across the board. when your high for the stock, 24 price target hikes on amazon today. amazon, apple, both up 50%, apple outperformed amazon over

the last few years. they were try to find a reason to do that. stuart: incredible $3 trillion company goes up 50%. great stuff. thank you very much indeed. look who is here now, he covers amazon. amazon currently is one hundred 40 one dollars a share but you just raise your target price to what? >> thanks for having me. we raised our target price to 183. we thought the quarter was a stellar quarter. the pieces are falling into place, going really well in the e-commerce business. advertising, 20% clip and most importantly, there are signs of

stabilization. it's an opportunity to reaccelerate, the stock has available backdrops. stuart: i will call it quite a turnaround. wasn't that long ago that amazon stock was in the doldrums and they worried about cost cutting and all the rest of it. a huge turnaround. >> a few quarters ago investors were worried especially the aws business, growth was decelerating, talks that aws was losing market share to microsoft and google. the fact that aws growth is above the 10% consensus and stabilizing, you can put the negative narrative to rest. the new wave of generative ai artificial intelligence will not benefit one tech company over the other but all the large tech companies and we are seeing that play out.

stuart: as you analyze the company do pay much attention to things like the downgrade of america's credit. do you pay much attention to rising interest rates for the federal reserve or inflation or do you just look at the fundamentals of the company and how it is operating? >> we are bottom up and top-down approach. we look at the macro head winds in the next 6 to 12 months especially as relates to consumer spending, federal student loan repayments, interest rates rising, gas prices going up. that can dampen consumer spending but amazon is getting market share and e-commerce, volume sales in e-commerce. stuart: that was a blow, absolute blow out and you say it's going to $183 a share, so the street thinks this thing is going up. thanks for being with us today.

come back and again lou. do you describe yourself as an apple fan boy? >> guilty as charged, something wrong with that? i've been very bullish on apple since 2011-12 when they started making for a into mobile payments. tim cook came at the helm at a time everyone doubted him, taking over for steve jobs. tim cook, stock is up 1300% since he has taken over as ceo. stuart: you bought in all those years ago. >> the company is just a machine, fundamentally is a business but also as an installed base so you see a lot of headlines about third quarter of declining revenue. it's nothing, this is the season, the weakest quarter for apple coming into the next two quarters which are seasonally strongest. the big thing to focus on if you take advantage of this dip if you like apple, they boosted

service revenue 8.2% ahead of expectations, installed billion users, that's a high profit margin, they will keep paying dividends, the stock has a chance for $5 trillion value. stuart: you heard it first at 10:38 eastern time on friday. moviegoers returned to theaters in droves to watch bobby and oppenheimer, some brought some unwelcome behavior, texting, talking, fights in the middle of the movie. madison alworth has the story on movie etiquette, got to watch next. ♪ ♪

crowds come dubious, poor behavior like talking loudly or taking pictures during the movie your worse. madison alworth is at a movie theater which is cracking down on this stuff. what are they doing? >> reporter: here at alamo they trained their staff are giving the one time verbal warning, after that you are out of you are still disruptive. this is a perfect example. they want people to come and take photos outside the theaters as these folks were, doing my job for me, they want people to do it outside the theater, drums up excitement, put it on social media but the problem is when you do it inside the theater. look at this tweet alamo put out shaming one of their guests taking a photo during a movie. when you look at the tweet, it had 11,000 likes. there's definitely an appetite for this disruptive behavior but for those in the movie no appetite whatsoever. the 11,000 people are strangers.

what about your actual neighbors in the theater. we talked to those moviegoers and they say we lost our movie manners. >> reporter: no common sense. we take the time and it is not only for people but for yourself as well, respect their time, enjoy the movie. >> i would have to say played a whole youtube video, like wow, my money. >> i believe that the least in single screen entertainment. you should only be watching one screen at a time. >> people are so addicted to the phones, they do it almost subconsciously without even thinking just always get on their phone. >> reporter: you are the one guy talk about a little kid playing are youtube video during the entire movie. that supposedly happened in a theater in brazil where a brawl broke out in the movie theater, a kid playing a video out loud and you can see the neighbors did not enjoy and out loud disruption not only on the

phone but also making noise. we lost the decorum when it comes to how to act in public. i don't think the pandemic helps, being stuck at home, we lost what it means to be kind to one's neighbor and we are coming back to the movies in record numbers, look at amc, they have the best attendance day since 2019 on saturday the 22nd, the same day, the second-highest food and beverage revenue day for the company in its 103 year history so what we need to do is focus more on the popcorn and less on the pop-culture. save the tweets for after. can't we focus on a big screen for an hour and a half? are without addicted to our phones that we can't do that? stuart: interesting rhetorical advance. madison, thanks. i will turn the questioning to lou, a market watcher.

in gastric emptying. the question they have to prove is are those points strong enough? are the drug companies downplaying the risk for using these diabetes drugs as weight loss medications? stuart: are they liable if they put out a warning label? is the warning label strong enough? always the same. lauren: it is a warning to users that it is happening to some. one shot a month or however much you take you lose 150 pounds. stuart: let's get to the cancer stuff. we are intrigued by this. researchers developed a new cancer treatment pill, the doctors behind it say it contains a molecule that can be a cancer killer. doctor marty makary joins me, seems too good to be true. what do you think? >> ever since i was a kid i remember on television seeing stories in the news come out on the brink of curing cancer.

this is really a new class of medication. it is a targeted therapy. it identifies a very specific receptor on the cancer cell and targets of those cells, the general body poison is a lot of chemotherapy as the kills healthy and cancerous cells alike. this is targeted therapy which is why it seems more promising. stuart: it is nowhere near going into the pharmacy or hospitals, nowhere near that. got to go through all kinds of trials and tribulations. >> that's right. it is in one clinical trial, looking at the year, it has been tried in the laboratory on breast cancer cells, prostate, brain cancer, there are many types of cancers that if you are expressing this particular molecule which this new drug targets, so new it doesn't have

a name, it has a number. stuart: i worry about raising false hopes. you go on the air saying that you have a cancer killing pill and anyone with cancer thinking i want this, i don't want to raise anybody's hopes above the rational expectation. last word it to you. >> for every 20 promises we hear, maybe one will turn into a therapeutic a. our problem is not killing cancer in one location. we have many ways to do that. cut it out, radiate it, poison it. it is when cancer has spread that the challenge is. stuart: deal with this one. we had a report in our last hour the cases of leprosy have been on the rise in florida over the last decade. what is going on? >> almost 1/4 million cases a year worldwide.

we don't see it in the united states. requires a lot of contact and respiratory contamination. it is not easily transmitted. it is not highly contagious. in the past, we've seen cases each year from travelers in the united states, to the united states, now we are seeing some community transmission in central florida, 159 cases, that's a lot more than we typically see. 80 one% of all cases in the us in central florida. we want cannot be contained? >> it is a chronic disease but i think people have a characteristic feature and they will be more cautious, people less likely than someone with clear features. stuart: doctor marty makary, always good, thank you for joining us, hope to see you again real soon. take a moment to think - thank lou for being here for the entire hour, welcome to new york. still ahead on this program in a moment, bill mcgurn on devon
