♪ stuart: the name of this song is hit me baby one more type. has that got something to do with one more investigation, one more indictment of trump? it's a tenuous investigation.

misty and cloudy in new york city today. that's what we've got. good morning, everyone. 10:00 eastern and let's get to the money. the dow is down 200 points, china is really slowing down bad limit and fitch wants to look at banks again and not helping stocks. nasdaq down 290. 10-year treasury yield at 419. the 2-career by the way hit 5% -- 2-year by the way hit 5% and the price of oil coming down because of the weakness in china and back to $80 a barrel and bitcoin around 29,300. something like that. that's where it always is, 29.3. the latest read on home builder sentment, the number, please. lauren: 50. down six points, surprise decline, this is for the month of august. it's the first drop in eight months. why? the high cost of construction and that's impeding the number of homes on the market and national association of home

builders says the industry is short 1.5 million units, 1.5 million and half of builders they surveyed said business is bad. stuart: well, as i said earlier, if they change the permitting process and got rid of not in my backyard stuff, we may build some new houses. lauren: perhaps you read the report because that's what they said. in this report that just came out a minuting a. stuart: it's been true for years. lauren, thanks very much indeed. all right, folks, now this. on february 3, 2021, a tape emerged of donald trump demanding georgia secretary of state "find 11,780 votes". that was the precise number needed to change the state's election results into a win for trump. that phone call is a prime piece of evidence in the latest trump indictment the physicalton county georgia -- fulton county prosecutor has spent the last two years of building a wide ranging case and accuses the

former president and 18 others, including rudy giuliani, running a racket designed to change the election results in georgia. now, this set us up an extraordinary situation, a clash of the political calendar of the campaign and the court calendar. is it fair to pile up court dates so the leading gop candidate cannot effectively campaign? trump-appointed trials are scheduled for january, march, and may of next year. the georgia case has not been formally scheduled and the prosecutor wants it early next year. if you're sitting in court for weeks at a time, how can trump campaign effectively? he should get fair trials, and we should get fair elections. the georgia case is a state case and that means if convicted, no president or governor can pardon trump and it mean the trial will be televised and that guarantees a circus. the country curely doesn't want this -- surely doesn't want this

but this is what the country is going to get. to me, it just doesn't seem right. second hour of varney getting started. stuart: brian burg agreed to join me for the entire -- burg agreed to join -- >> i did agree to that? >> it'll be joe biden and it'll be totally motivated and the prosecutor in georgia is just like alvin bragg and ran for the spot and talk about the legality of her case but the fact is she ran on get tram and now that's what she's trying to therefor.

stuart: i don't think voter wills perceive it to be fair and that's the basic thing going on, that's me, it's not fair. >> i think you're right. the question is there's this whole group of moderates, what are they going to think about the circus you mentioned? they may not think any is right but may say i don't want any of it period. again, i think that's actually what democrats are banking on. they think when push comes to shove, if there's a big enough circus, i'll stick with the guy in office right now. that's not good nor america by the way. that's the calculus of democrats. stuart: the new york times suggests nobody want as biden trump rematch in 2024. the quote, an era defined by discord, that's one issue when voters are divided across the political landscape appear to be able to find common ground. please, not another round of this. i think they may be wrong, brian. i think because of the extra

indictment and the circus atmosphere being created by biden and his colleagues, i think that will turn people towards trump. i think they will want to get out there and vote against biden. >> the treatment biden has gotten and how manifestly unfair that has been and the treatment trump has gotten and how manifestly unfair that has been, i think that actually pushes people to trump. they say biden has got a sweet heart deal and trump has got blow affably after blow. it's a rule of law election and we're not standing for it. what you think of trump, he's standing in the breech right now. stuart: thanks for staying for the hour. hold on there. back to the marks, show me the red ink and down down 260 and nasdaq's moved down a bit more. now it's down 118 points, which is about 0.90%. scott shellady with me this morning. one of the big reasons for this market selloff seems to me china unexpectedly cutting interest rates as their economy continues

to falter. now, do you think china's downward spiral so far is bad news? >> yeah, number one because they're one of the biggest customers for ag and everything else. it's the factory of the world. they make a lot of stuff. if you start seeing a decline there, i think the u.s. is going down -- we're in a decline too, but for two of the world's largest economies of which i would put japan in there as another one, but two of the three biggest in a decline, that's not going to be good, stuart. when we start seeing that combined with other news, i mean, how can we not take into consideration what fitch is tells us about getting our financial house in orderer. we cannot stop spending, stuart. it's going to come to fruition. i'm not that smart. i can just tell you that when we've got a debt service of

$600 billion, it'll be a trillion pretty soon, that's just to service our debt and we still and we still want to spend money we don't have. we can't stop spending so, yes, we'll probably never have a default on this country's stuart, because we can always print more money. but we could have a technical default because we print so much money we don't default and the money you get back from the government with bonds or whatever investment you encounter, those dollars will be worthless and that's a technical default and we're going down the path unless we stop the spending. we're in trouble. stuart: it's interesting. you have a rather grim outlook economically. couple that with this grim outlook for politics in america with a long series of trump trials, it doesn't look good, does it? it looks like a real mess in the future. >> you know, look, i'm a positive person, we'll get through it all. we can suffer a 10% downdraft in these equity indexes and we've

gotten out over things because of artificial intelligence but, stuart, we're ignore all the signs. i can't help myself. challenger gray and christmas, they're a labor firm and track jobs. the first six months of this year versus the first six months of last year saw a 244% rise in people being thrown out of their jobs. also, the government's tax receipts they're receiving and they rise less than 2% year on year, that puts us solidly in recession territory. we're minus 4% year on year because of the tax receipts. the economy is not going on all cylinders and telling you that bidenomic -- lauren: bidenomics. >> i can't even say it it's so ridiculous. my body won't let me say it. stuart: bidenocomics. very good. you coined a new world and should register it. make some money.

thank you, scott. back to the markets, down 300 on the dow and general motors down 1.7%, why? lauren: warren buffett, his berkshire hathaway cut its stakes by 22 million shares. this holding about a decade and gm has not grown its share price much and berkshire bought around 33 a share and now at 30. they've had the stock for a decade and not very profitable for them. stuart: discover, is the ceo out 124 lauren: it's been a rough ride for the online bank and last month they disclosed a regulatory review for incorrectly classified credit card accounts dating back to 200 and now the ceo is gone. double ouch. stuart: grinder, lgbtq dating site. lauren: good job. the stock is up 20%. really strong demand for weekly subscriptions and they raised their full year forecast as a result. i correct myself, it's up 11.7%.

it had been up 20. stuart: thanks, lauren. lauren: yep. stuart: some streams offering up to 6 figures to fill artificial intelligence jobs. come back in again. i need to know which companies are doing this? lauren: say almost seven figures. start with netflixs and a product manager for machine learning position that makes up to $900,000 a year and don't even need a college degree. amazon want as senior manager for generative ai for product images and videos. it pays nearly $350,000 and you get a bonus, six figure jobs at nike, wal-mart, the big banks and match.com. for all the talk that ai will put you out of a job, it can arguably and according to this lend you an even better job. stuart: i need to go to scoot tn artificial intelligence. lauren: i think we all do or none and working with robots. that's a long ways off. stuart: social security is on

track to cut benefits to retirees this year. that's the first i've heard of that. lauren: not this year, it would be for when social security if nothing is done to change it would run out in ten years. at that point, it would be a check that's $400 a month less than you get right now. this comes from the committee for responsible budget. the check would be $1,450 a month in 2033. what can we do to shore up the social security fund? smash the cap, which is about $160,000 right now meaning any income over that is not subjected to the social security payroll tax or raise the retirement age. what do you do about social security? well, speaking of raising the retirement age, who's retiring? look at this poll from axios. two-thirds of near retirees plan to delay their golden years and about 20% believe they're never ever, ever going to retire. it's sad.

it's the commentary on the times. stuart: look at me. lauren: not all about you, stuart. stuart: what am i doing? >> stuart, what you like what do, that's the thing. lauren: we did the report last week that since covid, the average household debt -- credit cards for instance, auto loans up $3 trillion since the pandemic. stuart: that's a lot. lauren: yeah, consumer spending remains strong. how do you balance the two? stuart: you're a youngster. any plans to retire? lauren: never. >> i have no hope for retirement. i hope that i can do something that ai doesn't take over. lauren: that was the saddest response. i have hope for retirement. it's so bad right now you can't look forward to being able to live comfortably. watching your grand kids. >> you have fun doing what you're doing all the time. i want to have fun till -- stuart: it's no fun getting up at 2:45 every single day. lauren: you love it. that's why you do it. >> what a liar. stuart: ask my family what they think.

stuart: brian, lauren, thank you for this. elon musk is threatening to show up at mark zuckerberg's house. this after zuck said musk wasn't serious about their cage match. president biden got back from the beach and that isn't stopping him from taking another summer trip going on vacation seems to be his campaign's new basement strategy. we're all over it. back to our top story. former president trump indicted for the fourth time, this is -- over alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election. bret baier on trump's latest indictment. bret is next. ♪ there are some things that go better... together. burger and fries... soup and salad.

stuart: top story, donald trump indicted for the fourth time by grand jury in georgia. all about election meddling. jonathan cerri at fulton county courthouse. all right, jonathan, when will we see the president there? reporter: hi, stuart, should happen within a ten day window and the da has given mr. trump and the 18 other codefendants in this case until noon on august 25 to turn themselves in voluntarily. meanwhile mr. trump and his legal team lashing out with prosecutors and over the timing of these indictments. take a listen. >> this the fourth indictment in months and political and election interference and it is obvious, obvious and if you're not awake yet, i don't really know what it's going to take for

you. i want the former president has been indicted along with 18 others including former chief of staff mark meadows and rudy giuliani and sydney powell on various charges and all 19 defendants are accused of violating georgia's racketeering law, that carries a maximum prison sentence of 20 years. the 98-page indictment lists scott mccaffy as the judge residing over this case and joined the fulton county superior court earlier this year. hours before the jury handed up the indictment, an incomplete document listing the same charges appeared on the fulton county court's website before it was abruptly taken down. district attorney willis deflected questions about what happened. >> i'm not an expert on clerks, duties, or even administrative duties. i wouldn't know how to work that system and i'm not going to speculate.

next question. reporter: the fulton county sheriff says the current plans are to book the former president and the other codefendants and take their mug shots. theoretically this would take place at the fulton county jail but that jail is under investigation. the justice department in fact conducting a federal investigation looking into condconditions at the jail and r negotiations with the secret service, many analysts believe that some sort of compromise will be released. perhaps like what we saw in miami where the president merely submitted an existing photo but didn't have to be booked at a jail. stuart back to you. stuart: jonathan, thank you. bret baier joining me now. bret, there's a string of trial dates next year, four trials right in the middle of presidential campaign. do you think voters will see this as fair? >> stuart, good morning. i don't. gop voters i think that there

are independents and dependents and suburbanwomen poe what's happening here. the first trial out of the box could be january 2 if a judge decides august 28th about that date. january 2 is 13 days ahead of the iowa caucuses. then you have four cases, four trials within five months all leagued up to the rnc convention in milwaukee in july. one of the trials starting possibly in july if the polls are right right now and it continues this way, the former president would accept the nomination in the middle of a trial. it's bizarre, it's surreal, and now the former president facing 91 charges and if you add up all l years together and he was -- the years together and he was convicted of everything, it's

hundreds of years. stuart: in the georgia case, it's a state trial and so if he's convicted, he cannot be pardoned by the state governor or by the president of the united states. if he's convicted, he has to suffer the consequences. that's pretty strange, isn't it? >> that's right. it's very strict in georgia and this is a different kettle of fish. some saying his legal strategy was to get to the white house and pardon himself. it doesn't work here. there's some arguments about the supremacy clause if he's president but if he's not president, it's really hard for any president to get involved, and georgia politicians, you have to wait five years from your conviction to even petition for a pardon. then you're tabooing about -- talking about a president that's

84, 85 in jail. stuart: weird. president biden traveling to lake tahoe on friday. he'll be on vacation there for almost a week. bret, i don't want to sound facetious, but the vacation seems to be a new basement strategy. where am i going wrong on this? >> you're right. i mean, it was bizarre and i asked him to comment on the rising death toll in hawaii and he said no comment. whether he didn't hear or not, it's bizarre that the white house is doing these events and not taking the reigns of a natural disaster in maui like we've never seen before as far as a wild fire. let alone all the other things going on. you're coming up on the g20, which is going to be a massive thing internationally about what that means. that's just in a couple weeks. yeah, this president has taken a lot of vacation. i think it adds up to almost a year plus of vacation days.

stuart: ret bret, you are must e television. special report weekdays at 6:00 p.m. and this day and age, you've got -- you're a must see. i'm going to make sure to tune in -- >> and i have a debate next week. stuart: it's on my prompter right there. don't worry. we will be sure to tune in and watch you and martha host the first republican debate august 23rd at 9:00 p.m. eastern only on fox. bret baier, you're all right. thank you very much for being with us, sir. appreciate it. still ahead, the white house insist the hunter investigations show president biden has done nothing wrong. roll it. >> they keep turning up documents and witnesses showing the president wasn't involved, never discussed these business dealings and did nothing wrong. there's been zero evidence showing otherwise. stuart: well, congressman russell fry on the house judiciary committee will respond in the next hour. home builder confidence down as

mortgage rates hit 7%. i think we've got a supply crisis for new homes. the ceo of national association of home builders on the state of housing market, next. ♪ this thing, it's making me get an ice bath again. what do you mean? these straps are mind-blowing! they collect hundreds of data points like hrv and rem sleep, so you know all you need for recovery. and you are? i'm an investor...in invesco qqq, a fund that gives me access to... nasdaq 100 innovations like... wearable training optimization tech. uh, how long are you... i'm done.

i'm okay.

stuart: the dow off 300 and nasdaq down 128 and s&p down 0.9% 18off. thanks to high mortgage rates and high home prices and millions are forced to rent for much longer than they'd like to. madison alworth with us. do people feel like they're missing out on the american dream perhaps? >> stuart, what i'm hear asking they feel like their american dream is delayed because, yes, mortgage rates are high, home prices are still high. that's forcing what would be first time home buyers to sit on the sidelines in the rental properties. take a listen. >> i'm almost 30, i'm 29 so i

thought at this point i maybe would have had my first home by now, and really each year we assess everything and we see if it's feasible for us, and right now we're still in that stage where we're just not 100% ready to make the -- pull the trigger and do it. the market that tampa right now is crazy. >> okay, that's making the rental market even more expensive. hello, pete. take this alcove studio for example. it's not even a one bedroom, 600 square feet, it's going for $3,500 per month. even by new york standards, that seeps like a lot. it's been on the market one week and they've already had ten rannal officers and people cannot get their -- rental offers and people cannot get their hands on a home to buy or rent. take a listen. >> very difficult for the first time home buyers especially with interest rates up 4% higher than last year. people's monthly pay payments ae twice what they were and they're

looking at rentals and the challenge with rentals, there's not much inventory and pricing is as expensive as the last two or three years and they're not seeing relief on the rental or buy side. >> things have gotten so bad that many cities are now seeing millions of renters put a dangerous amount of their income toward rent. the rule of thumb is no mar than 30% of your income should go to rent. in these five cities, renters are putting well above 30% of their income towards their home. new yorkers on average put over 67% of their income towards rent and you see three florida cities there all above that 30% threshold. it's just a tight market wherever way you cut it, and things could be getting tighter and home builder confidence down for the first time in 2023, that's out today. stuart. stuart: right, madison,ism follow up on that. we did receive the latest read on home builder sentiment, and it was indeed down in the month of august. so i want to know how home builder stocks are reacting to

this? looks like they're all down. lauren: not much. there was a surprise drop in home builder sentiment, warren buffett is increasing berkshire hathaway's holder in the second quarter or lear lenna r&d r hor. it's a push and pull. builders think there's too much red tape and 7% mortgage rates and inflation are bad for construction. stuart: what do you make of this, brian? >> we have the red tape administration. of course red tape is too thick and home builders don't like that . i'll also say this though, on the rental stuff, they're making it impossible to buy a car these days. you can't afford a car, they're too expin sieve and can't find them. expensive. you can't get a car and can't go outside of the city and have to live in the city and pay a fortune for that. if progressives can get you out of a car and get you in the city

and then there's rent subsidies and rent control and government control. that's the path we're on right now. this home builder stuff is just the start of it. stuart: i think you're right. jim tobin is the nahb association president, the new awe sewsuation of home builders. why can't we build enough new homes? >> good morning, stuart. yeah, it's the -- we've been talking about this for months and simply it's the red tape. you just mentioned it. local governments need to get out of the way of housing industry and let us build. we've talked about it, supply, supply, supply. demand is there, high interest rates are certainly hurting us and we've watched our hmi index fall six point this is month after seven months of declines in 2023. it's -- the fed is clearly manufacturing this slow down in housing through rise in interest rates and time for local

governments to step and you happen state governments and federal governments get the red tape out of the way, let us do our jobs and put more supply on the market -- in the market. stuart: i don't think the lawyers will let you. the moment you seriously -- i'm serious. the moment you propose, hey, cut that permit there and cut that one there, change that here and change that there, the lawyers jump in and take it to court and it never ends. never ends. that's your problem. >> yeah, stuart, you're right. a lot is so simple of the fixes. it's permitting times, you know, our builders are happy to go through the permitting process. that's part of the land development process, but does it really need to take six month 20s do it? does it need to take cost overruns and revision after revision after revision? those are the things that drive our members crazy and those are the things that slow down the construction of houses. stuart: there's one more, nimby, not many my backyard. still around and thriving, isn't it? >> absolutely. the people that live in communities and they've got

theirs and don't want people to have a piece of the american dream. that's one of the biggest challenges and local politicians row act to the nimbys, we need more people yes in my backyard. shelters making up a huge component of cpi right now, shelter inflation. we need to drive that down through supply, drive prices down through supply, and then we'll find the housing market will continue to rebound. stuart: go to it, jim tobin. god speed. thanks, jim. see you soon. >> thanks, stu. stuart: a record number of homeless people. lauren, what number are we talking about? lauren: it's a sad story. more than 580,000 people as of last year. it's a record. it's rising. "the wall street journal" tried to figure out exactly how much this year already and they say 11%. so many factors behind this. you know, coming out of covid, evictions now, fentanyl and the opioid crisis and high cost of housing and hitting older

americans more. homeless seen your citizens because they can't afford to live where they used to live. stuart: can't build new homes so you can't move up the housing stock so people have become homeless. it's a crazy situation. >> you've got a couple layers. on the wind hand there's the chronically severely mentally ill and that's one case and teen people choose to live on the streets because of subsidies and they're camping out and you have to deal with the problem in two different ways. one is the mental health crisis and the other is folks that feel like they want to live out there because they're being incentivized to do it and that's got to change. because people live in these cities are not going to deal with campgrounds in the middle of the city and their parks. stuart: all right, not for much longer anyway. thank you, brian. thank you very much. the behind side. that was a feel good movie. won a lot of oscar praise and now the formatter nfl star who's story inspired the whole movie said it was built on a lie. we've got that story coming up for you. disney releasing a new live

ever, adjusted for inflation. but today's cast doesn't appreciate past greatness. here's the 22-year-old actor that plays snow white, her name is rachel ziegler. >> orangal cartoon came out in 1937 and very evidently so. there's a vague focus on her love story with a guy who literally stocks her. weird. weird. >> super weird. >> we didn't do that this time. lauren: ziegler said she wouldn't mind if her costar that plays prince charm asking cut. because in 2023, who needs love or respect for a classic, stuart? >> i think now after a string of failures, disney is realizing this social engineering messaging at the expense of kind of the, you know, heart felt enjoyment that a lot of people and audiences have for their traditional properties and traditional content seems not to be yielding good results. lauren: here are disney flops

this year. four movies including the remake of the little mermaid caused a combine billion to make but brought in just over that at the global box office. it wasn't all bad. guardians of the ball ax seizure disorders, chaffs -- galaxy, that was a disney hit and global box office this year topping $3 billion, but what is the message that they're sending? to fans who just want to watch a good movie and might believe in traditional values. >> the message is here's our ideology. now we're going to shove it down whyour throat. stuart: it's wrong to fall in love these days? lauren: that was my take away. stuart: should not fall in love. >> get with it, stuart. stuart: do you think this wokism with disney, does it really hurt the company? >> yeah, it's not the same company. it's not the same disney and parents know it. they used to be good at telling stories. now they're good at making statements that most of their fans don't agree with. and that's why parents, my kids

didn't -- they don't go to the movies. we don't have disney plus and we say it's done. we're done with disney. there's other people that can tell stories and we'll go do that. they lost money on little mermaid and indiana jones. just show up and put up your sign and you can make money on those. lauren: or tell a good story. tell the story without having to try to appease every different group of people. stuart: but not a love story. can't tell a love story. not chosed to do it these days. bob daysbob iger or others befo? stuart: it's the woke people that work on disney. there's more. this is an interesting story, it's for you. the former nfl star who inspired the hit movie the blind side. he claims his family lied about actually adopting him. take us through what happened here. lauren: okay, the blind side, it was a tear jerker back in 2009,

won an oscar and based on football player michael oher's story to living on the streets to live with the tuohy family. when the movie was made about michael oher's life, he said he had no rights to his name or life story as it was used by the production company and the tuohy's took advantage of him. he's suing for being misled. he was told he was adopted by them but he was just put into a conservatorship relationship, and he says the tuohy's banked on his football ability. stuart: that's a complete reversal of what was said. lauren: not what you said in the movie. >> number one, you've got to hear both sides of the story i think before you weigh in on it. it would be so sad if what he's saying was true and he was taken advantage of. it would be equally sad if he was treated fairly and coming after them for some other reason. this is a reserved judgment for me, but i hate to see a good story gone sour. we're talking about stories here. this was a good story and story

of compassion and help. may it be the case that's what actually happened. we don't know. stuart: brian, lauren, thank you very much. now this, president biden getting a lot of backlash over his no comment remark when he was asked about the maui wild fires. roll tape. >> mr. president, any comment on the rising death toll of maui? stuart: okay, that was a no comment right there. the white house says he's praying for the victims but we have yet to hear directly from the president himself. brian kilmeade takes it on next. ♪ with a majority of my patience with sensitivity,

stuart: fourth indictment in five months for former president trump. is it fair to have a long series of trials at the same time you've got a presidential campaign? is that fair? >> i've never seen anything like

it. we don't even have to say, whoa, what would bill clinton do? what happened with richard nixon? we could go on a parallel course with joe biden is what's happening with his investigation and see the different pathways and one's going 2 miles an hour with the same guy on the same case for five years and the other four indictments now on a breakneck pace and not only offering indictments, they all want speedy trials. jack smith wants both of his trials ahead of the next. someone should tell him he's handling next cases and alvin bragg, a poor excuse for prosecutor and watching new york and authoring new york's demise and then you have this woman who can't even put together a grand jury correctly. they were pr prematurely releasd the indictment around at 4:30 and comes out saying i'm not a clerk for a living. excuse me, if you have a grand jury investigation and you have people that have not yet testified on your witness list, you should not have a conclusion

to the grand jury yet, i wouldn't think. so people look at this and say four cases, four weeks, four weeks, four weeks. okay, that's a lot of weeks and 16 weeks in which the presidential nominee if things are the way they are right now for the republican side will not be campaigning. guess who's happiest about that? the current president of the united states. he can't campaign and physically unable to. he's physically unable to do somewhat contentious interview and cannot express compassion for a devastating community. if you smell smell politics it's hard to push back on that statement. stuart: turn to the maui tragedy. president biden said no comment when he was asked about the fires. now the white house says he's praying for the victims. he's not yet commented directly on the wild fires and he'll go on vacation on friday of this week for another week at lake

tahoe. is this a new kind of basement strategy, say nothing and go on vacation? >> the president of the united states and he's great at expressing compassion. please explain to me where you're hiding it. no comment, riding by on a bicycle, a devastated community literally flattened. you could have thousands of -- thousands still missing or about 100 have last their lives and community wiped out and i'll tell you something else, he's past his prime by about 10 years, we've got it. the vice president is looking for a opportunity to define herself and everywhere she turns, her instincts are terrible. how about this, put on a jean shirt and go out there and don't worry about disrupting people and look in their eyes and say what do you need and find out what's going on and make that your project. that's leadership.

dana perrino had a great point, bill clinton and george bush asked their fathers to help out when bad things happened. how about barack obama, would you be able to go ahead and marshal the aid to hawaii? that is a president in action. maybe the person to implement is the vice president but instead we get a guy that says no comment on the people of hawaii, and then you have a press secretary mis-gender the senators who represent hawaii of total failure of local leadership and the federal government. did you hear the nbc reporter who said to kjp, hey, was the president asked not to comment on hawaii? she goes, no. so he even gave her an out and she didn't take it. it's a compliant press and we can't let up. there's a threshold of leadership that every american should demand on any party. par.

stuart: i would agree entirely. thank you for being here on a very important day. mr. kilmeade, thank you, simplet also to brian brenberg. >> you got it, sir. stuart: there's a lot of brians. it's difficult at my age. thanks for being here for the whole hour. we appreciate it. the big money show, weekdays at 1:00 p.m. eastern. >> learn my last name by watching the so she felt stuart: brenberg in the middle of those, right there. south carolina congressman russell fry on trump's latest indictment in georgia. jimmy failla talking about elon musk threatening to show up on mark subbinger berg's door -- door subbingerberg's -- zuckerberg's doorstep to fight. the 11:00 hour is coming up next. ♪

>> polls that show that people are less interested in each subsequent indictment. the interest diminishes and that's what we're seeing. >> that's a indictment every month practically speaking over the last five months. all bets are off to whether president trump next year will be free to campaign. i don't know what's going to happen, and i think responsible officials in the vario
