the money, look at them nasdaq in particular, a nice gain at 109-point, a minor loss for the dow, if you look at the dow 30, it is an even match, half cup, half down, the ten year treasury yield keeps on going up, you are now at 432. oil moving up a little not that much, 8164 and bitcoin we have that at $26120. that is the markets on a monday morning, now this. george bush was criticized when his response to hurricane katrina, remember he did a flyover, his opponent said he's out of touch and does not care about the people on the ground, bush 43 took a nasty political hit on that, today president biden says he's going to pay a flying visit to maui, he is there for one day, two weeks after the disaster hit, he's

late in reserved response not going down well, on august the ninth when the video of the fires burst on the tv screens everywhere the president issued a brief statement offering deepest condolences. on august the tenth he spoke to veterans in salt lake city and said very briefly our prayers are with the people of hawaii, since then he said he's looking at it as he rode his bike and a brief no comment from the beach. at the very least he's missed an opportunity to show he's in touch, then no comment was tone deaf, the images of the president relaxing on the beach while now we burned with did not help his part of the nation image. now he will break his vacation in california which has its own disaster, fly to maui and return to lake tahoe to resume his vacation. i think this president is physically exhausted, he is 80 and frail and needs rest, he is mentally exhausted by the hunter investigation and the obvious pressure of the job, august has

been a painful reminder of the growing problems of bidens age, his response to the mall we tragedy is one more reason to question his ability to do the job for another six years. the second hour of "varney" just getting started. ♪. stuart: will cain joins me now. the president will tour the devastation in maui and travel back to california to visit his vacation and tahoe, we you call that another misstep? >> i think you characterize it very well, it's a presidency lacking in energy a presidency that styles one of compassion and empathy and what is required and is required to be a company by energy and find itself lacking. it's hard i just flew to maui

and flew back to new york, it's a six hour time change along flight in very difficult. but in times of need you need leaders that are competent and leaders that are capable and leaders that have energy and as a president flies in today, i just got a note from a friend of mine in west maui in lahaina in the past 12 hours the amount of federal resources that are flown in to secure this place for joe biden is an insult compared to what happened over the past week and a half, it's whatever his driving lack of energy and empathy and compassion. it added up to a point where were looking at was $700 per household for 3500 families in transport and west maui it completely utterly lacking in sufficient. it is not enough. i'm sure maybe he'll announce more tonight but it will be too late. stuart: you spent time in maui right after the fires, there is some speculation today that green policy may have

contributed to the tragedy, what do you make of that. >> there are two ways people are pointing to the possibility, one of the directors of water management was on the foundation who in past we seen speeches about him saying something about waters holistic and the reports that he held backwater, it's true that some point water pressure gave out for the firefighters and volunteers trying to put out fires, is that why, he did not release water he talked to other guys instead of the pumps burned up or what may have happened. he held back of water because of a green policy then were talking about extreme levels of mismanagement, the rise to the level of manslaughter, what more they put so much energy into renewables and did not clear away the dead and dried brush on the hills around power lines ultimately went down, did not take care of it, this goes back to competency, who takes care of these things and they focus on the right priorities and i

assure you, not just in maui but our nation we place an unhealthy level of priority on green policies at the detriment of the things that actually keep us up and running and safe. stuart: i'm going to change a subject completely. i saw this, you and pete hegseth completed and the navy's wheel swim across the hudson of the beacon raising money for the members of the seo community. apparently you be pete and all three legs of the swim, are you feeling chesty this morning about that? >> i see what you did, i see what you did. by the way is a rule of television never go bare chested and you could compound that rule by saying never go shirtless around 70 navy seals at the back context on television. stuart: i was watching and i was really jealous of you and pete, i would love to look like that. >> that is flattering, thank you

so much you should be jealous because it's awesome to be around the elite or years to defend our country and let us sleep soundly at night and her freedom. i was a bit of a ringer, it was a home game for me compared to pete i don't, i'm not bragging today, i was a swimmer growing up i played water polo, pete beats me on everything else and "fox & friends" but put me in the water and i got it. stuart: i was impressed and everybody was impressed, you look terrific, thank you for being with us. i know we will see you again real soon and you can teach me how to swim. even democrats are worried about a problem surrounding president bidens reelection campaign, what are they saying. >> this is strong stuff, three big problems that is not doing enough or if anything about. watch. >> i think biden has three issues were he's not figure out what to say, one is obviously questions about hunter biden,

his son and what to say about the investigation of donald trump in the third about his age, those are massive issues that are clouding his reelection campaign and is not figured out what to say, this is taken a huge toll. his numbers look like hilary clinton 16 and biden 20, the democrat party things that biden is a safe play, hope for the best will get through the next 14 months, i'm not sure that that's it. stuart: that was a political expert, jonathan martin he thinks biden is a riskier option for democrats. some democrats are saying that out loud, the mainstream media is saying that out loud, what happens does he stay in while he's effectively silent on the three big issues, his age, hunter and trump's legal troubles. stuart: the crooks are appearing in the media's wall of support, that would be my opinion, the former governor of maryland larry hogan, he is mentioning and talking about a third-party candidate for 2024. stuart: is also co-chair of the

third-party group no labels, he says voters are completely fed up with her options right now and he has a plan see if plan a and b biden and trump and up on the ballot in november. stuart: trump and biden are the nominees and no labels will get access to the ballot and offer an alternative, if most of the voters don't want a or b, we have an obligation to give them see for the good of the country. >> who is see, we don't know but many predict third-party candidate will pull voters from biden even the former obama said it would cut the throat of president bidens reelection campaign. that's a nice way of putting it. >> that's coming from a democrat. stuart: look who is here now, a slight different position on the show, it is keith fitz who joined us at 10/10 a.m. on monday morning, i want to talk about nvidia, can nvidia earnings, they're coming on

wednesday, if they are okay, if they're good could that put a flaw on the whole market? >> i think so not only could it put a floor, i think it would unleash what i think is going to be potentially a very strong finish into the tail end of this year because a.i. is just getting started. stuart: do you think big tech is going to be bound very nicely. >> a lot is going to depend on what ceo of nvidia has to say but he's going to clearly set the tone, this is the single most important earnings call of the season in terms of renewing the bull market rally if it's going to stand. stuart: you have a target price for nvidia. >> i had a hunch you are going to ask me about that, my target of $500 is nearly there, just before i came on air i'm starting to think 750 may be a split then the next six months.

stuart: did you say 750 within the next six months. >> i'm sorry 36 months. >> $750 a share in three years? that's not bad. >> or of split further and faster. stuart: i take it you are buying it? >> yes i was buying all last week i hope i'm smart enough to buy more this week. stuart: is very expensive compared to future profits. >> this is interesting, this is the problem with current accounting, ratios and all that kind of stuff does not account for digital growth it accounts for old-fashioned nuts and bolts so companies like nvidia that invest heavily in digital technology look like they have a high p/e ratio i submit the situation is reversed and very low cost of what they're investing for in the future. stuart: we will be watching 4:0y afternoon that is going to be a market mover, one way or the other, thank you very much for joining us we will see you soon. movers, lauren sitting next to

stuart: first thing on a monday morning you want to know where your stock market money is it was in the nasdaq, you're okay,

up 115 points that is .87%, the dow turned south 100 points, call that a mixed market, former trade representative robert lighthizer issued this a dire warning about china, watch this. >> they are annexes essential threat to our way of life, then the biggest army in the world, the biggest navy, they're militarizing the south china sea, the threatening taiwan, they approved of the ukraine invasion and helping them there they are without question an adversary, i think once you agree with that then you realize you could not have economics as usual with them. for the last two or three decades they have been waging an economic war on the united states. stuart: kt mcfarland joins me now. i believe that china is in a corner, xi jinping has himself in a corner here and there is nothing more dangerous than authoritarian regime in a

corner, is china going to lash out? >> hears the word china is intending to replace the united states is the dominant world power, economically, ted technologically, military, et cetera just as they're about to achieve their rightful place, and having the economic problems at home for example use on a plum is 20, 25%, a demographic timebomb far fewer men than women because of the one china one child policy in the 1970s and 1980s and have a very aging population. as a result of all these things, the chinese economic model is not looking so great particularly in the last few weeks as we've seen major failures in the real estate investment industry, here is china expecting to replace the united states and here is china running into trouble what does a leader do in the situation like that, rally everybody around the

flag, look for a foreign fight to pick, that's where vladimir lenin's primary point in russia when they were taken over russia if you have a problem at home look at enemy at broad rally around the flag. stuart: i were to talk about with biden's meeting with the meeting at camp data into david last week that look like a successful meeting to solidify support against china, was it a success? >> here is the back story to that, during world war ii, japan occupied korea they had relations ever since, they failed to find an alliance with each other trading alliance, certainly no security alliance, president biden bringing those two leaders to camp david was the inside of the tent meeting that is a prestigious invitation to go to camp david in to talk to them about security issues this is the first time that the japanese leader in the chinese leader have met together to talk about mutual security needs and interest in countering china

it's not all about china, it is all about china the thing that needs to happen next is to have a security relationship maybe even form an alliance but also have economic alliance between the countries. stuart: is biden's foreign policy in east asia going in the right direction? >> it's a mixed bag this meeting is a good thing to forge a security alliance with japan, korea, the united states, various other efforts to have security relations with our allies in the pacific, what is not going to the right direction is what bob lighthizer was referring to we are not treating china as an adversary, even president biden calls him a competitor and economic competitor, no they're not there in the cold war and we finally woken up to the fact that this is the cold war and china's intentions with the technology policy is to dominate in the technology of the future,

artificial intelligent, internet and for structure, robotics, they're intending to have the strongest military in the region and perhaps in the world, they are ahead of us in certain missile technology, hypersonic weapons, we don't have them and we don't test them successfully, the chinese are manufacturing, there's a whole lot of places where we really should up the ante with her military expenditures, our military investment, our military high technology, were not doing that stuff and that's where we should really be focused not on a war in europe, has to be focused on asia. stuart: kt mcfarland, thank you i know we will see you soon. thank you very much. russia tried to launch the first lunar mission in a must 50 years, it was a disaster, wasn't it. >> to put it lightly, russian spacecraft crashed into the m moon, he was trying to land on the moon surface, russia said into depth of the wrong orbit and i'm quoting by the translation, ceased to exist because it collided with the

surface, russia teamed up with china for a lunar research, the u.s. has a mission trying to get back to the moon in the year 2025, maybe were not behind after all. stuart: russia is rapidly fading in the space business, let's get back to storm hilary battling parts of california, thousands without power. kelly o'grady in los angeles, has it stopped raining yet. >> it stopped raining it's starting to clear up where i am but unfortunately it's very dangerous and some pockets in southern california actually on the way into work i experience pretty bad flooding on the highway even though that was a couple of hours ago, the storm has been downgraded to a post tropical storm but the flash flood warnings are in effect for the next few hours, the mounds were hit particularly hard and that's extremely concerned with the potential for mudslides, we

don't have a lot of rain in southern california so you have houses built into the sides of the mountains, normally a great view but concerning with extreme weather that we've been seen, he could see the destruction of palm springs, the people tried to drive, get away, they got in their cars and had to leave because of the flooding. in the press conference a governor shared his own experience in palm springs, he laughed and hours later underwater. >> as soon as we got up to san bernardino they reported flooding at the same site and the most significant rainfall over a 60 minute. any time in the history of palm springs, that's how quickly the system is moving, take nothing for granted. the big question what is going to be the fallout, there was a lot of concern about the port, 40% of our nation's imports come through this, the bay behind me, the good news it is fully operational, no damage but there

could be a big impact or agriculture industry and that's because the trajectory of the storm moved eastward and hit the central valley hard that accounts for 8% of our nation's food supply and there are several harvest i talked to a number of farmers coming up, i'm talking grapes, almonds, tomatoes as well and i'll leave you with this, we have not seen something like this in over 84 years, we just don't have the infrastructure to deal with it that's good to be the big challenge over the next few days. stuart: thank you very much indeed, thousands attended oliver anthony free concert in north carolina saturday. his song "rich men north of richmond" has skyrocketed to the top of the music charts, fox got a excuse of interview with him. the song by queen that bottom girls has mr. seay disappeared from the band's new greatest hits collection, is queen a target of culture for cancellation, joe concha deals

now you have brokerage turning sour, six cutting the price target on estée lauder, one of the lowest price targets on the street, 146 issue and they say estée lauder has not one younger consumers and their susceptible to a slowdown in department stores, the makeup counter, the estée lauder counter that is like a one-two punch or retail. stuart: sweet green, they are a sour bunch, up 7.4%, two new hires ahead of culinary and marketing and that person michael was ahead of marketing at aaa. stuart: the bottom right-hand quarter, down 166, the dow very rapidly there must be a couple of stocks falling out of bed. >> johnson, intel, all down, down 167-point, thousands gathered in north carolina over the weekend to see oliver anthony perform his hit song

"rich men north of richmond". all oliver anthony gave his first interview to fox, tell me more. >> he shared a unique message with the fame and rest upon him, the fame is less about him and shows how many people feel the exact same way that he does, many have dubbed his song "rich men north of richmond" a blue-collar anthem but oliver anthony says it isn't just for blue-collar and working-class people he wants to share his music with everyone. >> if we continue on the path that were going down now, culturally we will have a country very long, what i want the bigger scheme of things is people to start appreciating each other for human beings and look beyond political differences and ideologies and a lot of things that i see corporate media and education doing which is making everyone identify each other's differences and other similarities. stuart: the song is a number one hit, bumping artist like jason

aldean and taylor swift on the itunes music chart, "rich men north of richmond" has millions of views on youtube and as of today over 14 million streams on spotify. anthony song is not just one group being left behind he speaks to all americans that feel that the power of the dollar is shrinking, the power of the government is growing and we need to find more similarities and differences, listen to the fans that showed up over the weekend some of them traveling hours just to see him in person. >> it speaks to me all the way through. it's time for them to hear us. >> taxing dollars like crazy. >> nobody wants to hear the truth and here we have 70 going to speak it. >> it's interesting he said 70 opportunities sense the song has come out, money deals but what he said to us he wants to get back to the woods but also he wants people to find the similarities into talk to one another it's really beautiful.

stuart: good stuff, thank you very much indeed, we need joe concha on this and miraculously joe concha is about to appear with us, why do you think the song is resonating with some of the people. >> i think it is because you have a guy here who is like the old bruce springsteen, he is connecting with working folks and we see a pattern here, songs that become hits with the message of resignation on a grassroots populace level are being deemed as a nefarious agenda, what we saw tried that in a small town a number one hit from earlier this summer that was printed by the usual suspect as racist because the songs theme was anti-looting and antiviolence and we saw with the sound of freedom which girls work under more than $150 of the box office on a 15 million-dollar budget this is a gutwrenching movie about child sex trafficking and that was pretrade as a right wing dog whistle, "rich men north of richmond" talks about the abuse

of welfare, the song's chorus i been selling my soul, working all day, overtime hours for bs pay, will do the g rated version that resignation because more than six and ten americans are living paycheck to paycheck, credit card debt in this country talked about pass $1 trillion for the first time and the reason why the song is so popular it's not because it's a right wing anthem is because an anthem for the working man and working women busting there but to make ends meet on a weekly basis that is not right wing sentiment that's america if you don't include the elites the fact that so many liberals are attacking the number one hit in the media shows you that is resonating and obviously the numbers approved that. stuart: one of queens top songs, one of queens top songs back in the 1980s, fat bottom girls has been mysteriously dropped from the bands new greatest hits collection, is this cancel culture? >> it's 31 flavors of stupid,

it's marinated and woke political corrective, it's exactly that, fat bottom girls as written by the queens lead guitarist brian ney and he says it's a song about a young man who comes to appreciate women of substantial girth those are his words if you saw the movie a couple of years ago were freddie mercury is played wonderfully the best performance, you would see that queen the band was anything but conformist, they fought the original record producer tooth and nail who thought bohemian rhapsody was a bad idea because it's so different from every other rap song and turned out to be the greatest hit, by pulling fat bottom girls, were talking about it now i'm willing to bet that will be downloaded by more than a country mile that has been in years because of the boomerang effect, it's very real, by trying to pull this on more people will hear it now this is 40 years ago, you can't undo the spell and the situation. stuart: something going on in

billionaire he missed a chance to invest in uber, how much did he miss out on. >> over $2 billion, he is friendly with the cofounder, it was back in 2009, travis came to me and said he had a great idea to replace replace taxicabs and mark cuban loved the idea but not the evaluation, it was sold $10 million at the time, he declined to make it 250,000-dollar investment, had he done that, that would be worth $2.3 billion right now. stuart: enough said, thank you. six southern states add more to the gdp than the entire northeast, ashley webster is in georgia, tell me about the business boom going on there. >> it is booming i'm in a manufacture facility in atlanta this is wimped in machine husband-and-wife and began it in the basement of their home and

friendly state and a lot of great resources for manufactures in the state. stuart: you are hoping to expand? >> i am challenges to inflation and right now were busting at the seams and for us to expand we need to double our size, three times the price right now and with expansion comes at additional workforce and right now were really struggling to build high skilled jobs and right now machinist or one of the jobs that are hard to fill and were fortunate to have the workforce that we do we have a lot of great skilled workers. stuart: fantastic also the problem the job shortage even in georgia booming and a lack of affordable housing, no way for people to actually live. >> that is so correct, right now there is so much expansion going on in georgia and were fortunate to have all of the manufacturing coming to our state especially with the new ev. however, people need a place to live in affordable place to live, people are traveling all

over in atlanta is known for its traffic but all over the state of georgia we need an emphasis on workforce housing, affordable housing for people working in factories. stuart: thank you very much, congratulations on your success is a great story from the basement to hear and who knows where next and it's not brain surgery, low taxes, low regulation and a can-do attitude and businesses start to thrive they may be onto something. stuart: i wish you could translate that to new jersey where i happen to live. you are a good man i don't care what they say, dozens of migrants were housed at a state college in upstate new york back in may. now since the kids are returning to school the migrants are giving the boot, we have the story. a recovering drug addict turned activist says billeted under businesses in philadelphia are setting up booby-traps to keep homeless people away, the opening drug market are taken over the city. we will show it to you, we will
