states over the next 25 years will outcompete china. >> democrats are burning daylight at this point. the best evidence i have of joe biden is not actually running. at this point, the number of campaign staff that he has on biden for 2024: 7. that's not a serious campaign. >> yes, taylor swift is bigger than the beatles, will be bigger than the beatles and let's face t the beatles were overrated. stuart: what a great song. the beatles. revolution. lauren: it's better than taylor swift? stuart: oh, i would never make such a comment. do you think i'm crazy? i think taylor swift will be bigger than the beatles. i have to get on the right side of the audience. in 50 or 60 years, will we be singing or watching taylor swift's songs?

>> not a shot. stuart: if you want the audience to like you, you said the wrong thing. let's move on. it is 11:00 eastern time, monday, august 14th. on the markets, nice turn around thank you very much. it was all red an houring a and now ale green. not much but it's green especially the nasdaq up 94 points. show me big tech? are they up along with the nasdaq. yes, they are. amazon nice gain, 1.3%. alphabet, apple, microsoft, meta all on the upside. 10-year treasury yield going up earlier and it's still going up 418 is your yield on the ten year. now this, it was a weekend of monumental events, the news does not take the weekend off, does it? but the president does and we'll get to that later. a special council named to investigate hunter biden. a judge says the law is more important than a presidential campaign so trump must keep

quiet. the iowa state fair in full swing, trump arrives, steals the show. trump gets a heads up about another indictment coming, a grand jury will be seated in georgia. then there's the destruction on maui. american paradise lost. where was the president? on the beach. this is not a criticism. biden is entitled to vacation and he's not obliged to comment own all the news items of the day, but to me it shows the president to be out of the if i cantures. world moves on around him and he's left out of the action. i think it's intentional, at 80 it's hard for him to be physically and mentally robust. a new basement strategy makes sense. but it's apparent to members of his own party that he's not capable of doing the job for another six years. the democrats know it. minnesota democrat dean phillips, again, called on the president to pass the torch as he put it. move aside. the president returns to the

white house for lunch with vice president harris. no press allowed and that is the only thing on his schedule for today. third hour of varney starts right now. stuart: steve forbes with me this monday morning. seems to me the beach is the president's new basement strategy. there's all this news and he seems to be out of the if i canture. where am i going wrong? >> you're not going wrong, and that's why he's not going to be running next year. the scenarios that gets him out of the race, we don't know yet but he will not be the democratic knock-knee in 2024. stuart: you're o convinced of that? >> absolutely. absolutely. stuart: why are you so convinced in >> the hunter biden thing they can't sweep under the rug even though they did the cute maneuver in your face special council. you've got the economy, that's not a win for him. then you have his capacity, which you referred to. he's not just 80, he's an old 80

unlike a winston churchill or william gladstone and was prime minister in his 80s and vigorous, chopping trees down. not joe bind. there's a situation where they're going to get him out. the question is what they do with the vp. the government sadly is not out of it. far left is in charge of agencies, regulatory agencies, and they're going full bore. stuart: what happens in october when some student loan borrowers have to start repaying their loans? large numbers of them. what happens to the economy, any impact? >> beginning not too much because they have a programs or what they call ramping up or whatever the heck they call it. there are programs where you can make delays if you have a family of three and income under a certain amount. but it'll hurt. for three years the pattern was you didn't have to make the payments so you -- human nature, you adopt new patterns and then you get hit with this.

it'll make an impact and head wind for the economy and self-inflicted and doesn't get to the real problem, which is why are tricker prices of edge colleges going up four times the rate of inflation. absolutely unnecessary and all administrative bloat. stuart: say that again. >> last 40 years, sticker price of colleges gone up three to four times the rate of inflation. no justification for that at all. it's just administrative bloat. palaces, tank tache ma halls on -- tac taj mahals on campus,t for the students. make sure we don't have the problem in the future. for example, colleges taking a piece of that loan. being responsible for a piece of that loan. so they have a stake in the student getting thru in four years instead of six or no time at all. getting a major that might be of use in the marketplace.

basic things like that and also parents and students should watch a document reigns leading, it's only 20 minutes from a thing called izzit, i z z i-t.org and called do students do the math. accumulate over time and go to college and don't have to repay for four years, the interest is accumulating. very, very eye opens and transparency, credit cards and mortgage up more and transparency on what you owe with the loan payments than with student debt. it's a scandal. stuart: we'll leave it at that. a scandal says steve forbes. we'll take that. thank you very much indeed. >> thank you. stuart: back to the markets, jason katz with us on a monday morning. you revealed something interesting to me, there's $5 trillion on the sidelines. that's in cash i take it, plus a lot of short term treasuries, which is also a form of cash. does that set up a big rally? >> it's actually 5.5 trillion in money markets, and the treasury money is far in excess of that.

so i will tell you anecdotally and having been on rale street for all the years and the real people in the real world and disproportionate appoi amount oy that would have been in short term treasuries because in several months you're getting paid heavily in a tax advantaged way while you wait. not setting up for a rally but dip buying and support to this market. trees don't grow to the sky, stocks don't group in perpetuity. at some point, we're going to get a breather and if we get that breather 5, 10%, you'll have a portion of that cash come back into the market and serve as support. stuart: are you forecasting a 10% dip in the market? >> i'm not forecasting that per se but look, the fed has a last mile problem. that's getting inflation to that target, and it's this negative feedback loop. the better corporate earnings,

the better the economy does, the higher the fed goes, the longer they stay. the longer they stay and the higher they go, the more that increases recession risks. i think we're stuck in this vortex where we're going to be sort of sideways for at least the next 6 to 12 months. you can still make money in other parts of the market, the cyclical value parts but on an index level, expect a whole lot of nada. stuart: whole lot of nada, okay. i keep hearing that china is now posing a serious threat because it's slowing down so much. the implication is that the world's second largest economy, when it slows down like that, will have an impact on our, the biggest economy in the world. what do you say? >> they have the sniffles and we're definitively going to get a mild cold. that doesn't mean we're going to get pneumonia. yes, they're big buyers of our treasuries and they've been big suppliers in terms of our goods and service, but with the near shoring and the on shoring, i

think our economy, our market is not going to be reliant on theirs and i think our market could do well in spite of their economy slowing down. stuart: give me advice, should i convert my 5% one year treasuries, convert them now into stocks? >> i would convert a portion into value and cyclical stocks and as i said last week and the week before and the week before -- stuart: and the month before that. >> please extend your duration, buy longer term bonds. you're still young enough, buy green bananas. buy long term bonds and lock in high yields before they go lower. stuart: you locked yourself into the show forever. lauren: why are they going lower? stuart: you're young enough he says, okay, you're a good man. thank you very much. lauren: called you a green banana. stuart: that's okay. lauren: it's a compliment. stuart: get to the money, looking at penn national. interesting developments here because that's dave portinoy's old company. lauren: agreed to sell barstool

hi, i'm katie, i've lost 110 pounds on golo in just over a year. golo is different than other programs i had been on because i was specifically looking for something that helped with insulin resistance. i had had conversations with my physician indicating that that was probably an issue that i was facing and making it more difficult for me to sustain weight loss. golo has been more sustainable. i can fit it into family life, i can make meals that the whole family will enjoy. it just works in everyday life as a mom. stuart: the pentagon may put u.s. marines on commercial ships in the mideast to stop iranian seizures. jennifer griffin at the

pentagon. does this have anything to do with the u.s./iran $6 billion prisoner swap deal? >> well, it's all inter-related, i think, stu, if you look at piracy taking place in the straight and the possibility of negotiations about the nuclear deal. what we know is that the biden administration has given a green light for south korea to free $6 billion of iranian assets that south korea froze under international sanctions in exchange for five americans that have been held as pawns by teheran in the nerve nucleus tourist yous prison -- notorious prison and we've been following the tragic stories of these five americans for more than six years and some nabbed byes regime visiting family members in iran. the deal to get these americans home includes releasing some iranians held in the u.s. for breaking sanctions and the lead negotiator, a former army ranger that worked under the trump administration conducting

hostage negotiations for the state department and had success arranging the release for americans like brittney griner, some republicans have raise concerns these deals encourage countries like russia and iran to take more american hostages and the top democrat on the house armed service committee pushed back. >> the money that's going from korea to iran is money from oil that iran sold to korea and korea did not pay for that -- south korea, sorry, because the sanctions that were imposed under the trump administration. there were about a half dozen countries in that situation: italy, india, a few others. all of the other countries under the trump administration have already given iran that money with no strings attached under a special payment system that was set up under the trump administration. >> among those americans slated for release, one of them age 51 arrested in 2015 on a business trip to iran.

another arrested while traveling to iran in 2018, an environmental activist arrested in iran in early 2018. two americans whose families chose to keep their identities secret are part of the deal. south korea would transfer the money to qatar, that's been a mediator in the talks and the five american haves been released into house arrest in teheran while final details are worked out. stu. stuart: jennifer, thank you very much indeed. folks, listen to what mike mccall says about that $6 billion prisoner swap deal. watch this. >> the idea that the toll will not have any control over this money and by the way, we're talking about $6 billion; right. $6 billion. look, i want to get these americans home more than anybody, but we have to go in eyes wide open. $6 billion that now is going to go into iran and prop up their proxy war terror operations, and their nuclear bomb aspirations.

stuart: retired four star general jack keen is with me now. general, is this prisoner swap in some way connected to a possible iran nuke deal? >> well, that possibility is out there certainly, and people who are privy to the me gauchuations believe that is -- negotiations believe that is in case a fact. what that i cans this is unusual, stuart, is that normally we analyze a deal that's made after the deal is complete and the hostages are in american control again. iranians still control the hostages albeit they're no longer in prison but at a hotel some place, but that is why we don't have an administration official also on television responding to chairman mccaul's concerns and defending the specifics of the deal and they're concern this could still blow up in their faces based on what's happening out in the national press. the leakers of the deal, how the

media got ahold of the fact that this is taking place and iranian officials themselves. they leak it had initially to the new york times, administration asked the times not to publish it and they agreed not to publish it and iranians went to other sources and the deal got out there. when you draw back from this and look at it, one, the amount of money involve second-degree truly significant. $6 billion. versus the $400 million in the obama administration down payment followed by $1.5 billion for hostage release. that was u.s. taxpayers dollars. this is money owed iran from south korea. many concern is simply this, the administration is making a claim that the money that will -- it will not go to fuel iran's aggressive behavior in the region and will go directly to the iranian people and there's going to be some guardrails to ensure that'll happen.

this is iran and they control everything that takes place inside that country to include their own people. that's number one. the second thing is and this is really the issue for me, does this provide iran the incentive to do this again even though this method appears different from the past? i think overwhelmingly it does, stuart. it certainly will provide them to go back out and get american citizens as hostage. they've been in extortion, hostage business since 1980s, and it's a very handsome reward for them. stuart: do you put any stock in these reports, which i've been reading not from terribly reliable sources, which suggest that the iranians are very close to actually testing a nuclear weapon. do you put any stock in that? >> i do because the iranians, at

least the last time we've had any valid report on it is there's at least 60% weapons grade and the control during the so called nuclear deal was 3.5% iranian enrichment and they're very close to going to weapons grading in a few weeks. and that testimony was provided no less than the assistant secretary of defense for policy in the pentagon a number of weeksing a. so yes, they are close to it. they haven't taken that extra step. i think they know full well that would likely trigger a response from israel for sure. what the united states role is ambiguous about what would take place and we've said from the outset that we will not tolerate iran having a nuclear weapon. yes, supposedly there's a secret handshake on this deal with the hostages and there may be some accommodation to iran on the nuclear deal and removing some

of the sanctions if they old at 60% or go to a lower enrichment grade. we'll see if that materializes. my view, we should be increasing sanctions on iran. their aggression in the region is obvious. you just reported, we're putting troops back into the r region ad putting capability back in. they're interfering with persian gulf oil out of the gulf and we're trying to ensure that protection. this is iranian war aggression and dominate and control the region and we've got to recognize they're really an adversary and every time we try to appease them, what do we get? we get more aggression. that's the mantra of the regime, stuart. stuart: don't disapply weakness. display weakness. general jack keane, thank you, sir. security officials warning of cyber attacks against china.

private jet rides democrats say thomas fail toddies close these exorbitant gifts and should be can i have thed off the high court and resigned because of it. fox reached out to thomas for comment and didn't reply back. unprecedented, stunning, disgusting and height of hypocrisy and wearing the robes of justice and take undisclosed gifts from billionaires and benefit from your decisions and 38 free vacations, yachts, luxury vacations and sky box at events and when it cops to house republicans saying show the biden family and their business partners benefited at least $20 million from foreign sources. democrats brushing that off saying there's no evidence of any wrong doing by the president himself and saying there's not enough evident to warrant an impeachment investigation. >> it's not that democrats don't have evidence, it's the republicans don't have event titled. they want to do an impeepment

without evidence, that's the problem. >> there's no evidence. you have speculation and maybe this might have happened but guess what, i guarantee you bill barr with the department of justice look intoed it. now if there's evidence, of course, happy to do impeachment inquiry except there's none. reporter: one house republican is not waiting for impeachment and florida congressman greg stubby filing articles of impeachment against president biden and unclear if or when that would get a vote. stuart. stuart: all right, thank you indeed, hillary. taking a look at that. now we'll take a look at this headline. the media can restore their credibility by reporting equally on biden and trump. joe concha wrote it and he joins me now. joe, i agree the media could restore their credibility by reporting equally and fairly. you don't expect him to report equally and fairly, now do you? >> it's a bit of a pipe dream i have to admit, stu. it's aspirational and this article shouldn't be considered

an outlier at this point and you've been around a bit. 1976, remember we would have anchors like cronkite and brinkly and mud anchoring the evening news and three in four americans said they trusted the media because the bias didn't exist or was too subtle to notice or maybe they just stuck to the facts instead of injecting their opinions and never reporting. now it's biased and activism in broad daylight and evening newscast for 2023 have not committed one minute or one second to the biden family bribery scandals. this includes not unnamed sources and bank records showing $20 million paid to ten members of the biden family and here is members of the media echoing democrats saying the president only jumped on the phone with hunter biden's business associates no less than 20 times and went to dinner with the business associated from ovseas with plastic bags like china, ukraine, kazakhstan, russia and we're supposed to believe they talked about meteorology and the

weather. either it's bees dismissed or not being covered. i'm not saying don't cover trump trials and indictments, that's a big story but give equal time or something that resembles it to the biden scandals as well, we're simply not seeing it. you're right, stu, it was a pipe dream but i thought i'd put it out there anyway because, well, that's what journalism should be. stuart: that's an interesting pipe dream to have. when do we store credibility to the american media. they've lost it for the last ten years and can't get it back that easily. i'll move onto an astonishing story. native american group wants washington's football team, the commanders, to go back to the original name. the redskins. the group issued a statement, the line in the sand moment is undeniable moment of the native americans assisting with native american principles used by the founding fathers in the constitution. and every american's right to the first and 14th amendment and not to be targets of cancel

culture or esg. wow. that was a surprise, back to the name redskins, joe? >> you know, stu, when it controversy came about, it was about a decading a when sports media really began to drum up the pressure. but you looked at polls and found an overwhelming number of washington redskin season ticketholders at the time did not want the name changed. when asking native american groups at the time, a solid majority didn't care because they had bigger fish to fry or they didn't mind the name. this was a controversy drummed up to shame the organization into changing its name and nothing to with a ground swell from fans ornative americans and once -- or native amer americand once corporate sponsors said we need to pull advertising because there teams to be a real controversy around this, there was no controversy and will they go back to the redskins? probably not because there's

money involved, but this tells you this whole thing -- same thing with the cleveland indians never should have happened in the first place. stuart: agree. you're right and they're all right. i hope we see you again soon. let's get serious for a second. take a look, a deputy saved by narcan after he's exposed to fentanyl on the job. whole rescue caught on body cam. it's a good story and we've got it for you. 96 people confirmed dead in the maui wild fires. the deadliest wild fire in american history -- or in more than a censure reigns leading to be accurate. we'll take you right on the ground in maui right after this. ♪ you can't buy great conversations
