♪ stuart: what a wonderful voice. celine dion. it's all coming back. what a wonderful voice. dow up 80 points, bit of a turn around and opened with everything slightly lower and now modestly higher and dow up 86 and nasdaq up 60 points. 10-year treasury. where's that these days? down a little at 4.17%. the price of oil around $80 a barrel, $79.72 and bitcoin, crypto training hit a 4-year low in terms of volume. bitcoin holding onto $26,000 per coin. latest read on consumer confidence just in, what is the number? lauren: disappointment. it fell more than expected in august to a level of 106.1.
10:02 am
we were expecting 116 coming down from 117 in july and we got 106.1. that was a big disappointment. stuart: how about jolt? number of jobs available. lauren: what a tight labor market. this is more the month of ju july: 8.827 million jobs open. let me give you the expectation and you can see the size of the tightening. the expectation was 9.465 million. so it went down a lot. stuart: fewer jobs available. that implies a tighter labor market? lauren: yeah, put color on this. number of people quitting jobs decreased this 3.5 million. you're scared to quit. at the same time the number of folks being laid off or discharged increased to 1.6 million. stuart: now you're up 70 or 80 for the nasdaq. is it consumer confidence as
10:03 am
well? lauren: jay powell through the series of rate hikes breaking up the strong labor market and maybe the work is done and not more interest rate increases this year? stuart: maybe, maybe, maybe. the dow is down 121 points. there you have it, dow at 34,682. thanks, lauren. now this. this is how you tie up a presidential candidate so he can't campaign, throw the book at him for any and all perceived offenses. that's what's happening to donald trump. the legal calendar looks like deliberate election interference. october 2, 2023, this year. trump's in court in new york facing a civil suit. october 23, election interference case goes to trial in georgia. january 15th, 2024, he's the defendant in new york for e jean carol's second defamation suit and that's also the day of the iowa caucuses. on monday, march 4, 2024, as the primary season gets into full
10:04 am
swing, trump will be on trial in federal court in dc. he'll be sitting there as long as the trial lasts. the next day, tuesday, march 5, that's super tuesday. the day when 14 states hold primaries and the nomination can be sec secured and he can't be t of that. ? may 20th, his federal trial begins in florida in the so-called documents case. month of may, in a presidential election year is prime time for politics and trump is in court. this is deliberate. prosecutors have stretched the law and manipulated the timetable. it is a mess and democrats are happy to see trump tied up in court, away from the campaign trail. e jean carol what better way to hide the president's frailty and decline? the second hour of varney just getting started.
10:05 am
pleased to see will cain joining us on this tuesday morning. will, are democrats pushing trump away from the c campaign trail? will it help democrats or backfire against him? >> you nailed it, stuart. for all the attention on the mug shot, it should be on the trial calendar. he's in a courtroom every month, four different criminal indictments, plus i believe at least two different civil cases as well. that is essentially going to keep him tied up and keep the news cycle tied up away from a campaign for presidency. if it weren't donald trump, it would be game over, but the reason i say if it weren't donald trump because he's the candidate that doesn't have to be in every dare queen in iowa and can hold a rally and garner the attention of millions. plays in person in millions on television.
10:06 am
this keeps him out of the presidential race and the law's been stretched. for anybody watching saying this is trump's fault for constantly breaking the law. each charge has been applied in a very, very creative manner by the prosecutor stretching the first amount and trumped up charges from mis-means to felonies and every one is virtually unprecedented and verne revealing artistic light for the prosecutor. i don't know it'll backfire but this is me trying to be objective and think in the minds of the casual voter. i'm concerned all of this drama just wears down and fatigues the casual voter. stuart: right in the middle of a presidential election. it's unique. moving on thomas mancino this, i found this astonishing, a whopping 77% of people say biden is too hold to effectively serve
10:07 am
as second term 6789 i think we're seeing the rapid decline of the sitting president, and i want to know how the democrats will move him to the side without leaving us with president kamala harris. >> i said there could be casual voter fatigue on the legal drama around president trump. people say to me, will, trump is not electable in a general election. my response is there's an equal if not greater amount of fatigue for joe biden. it's in part because of the dramas and the investigations into his family's business, even more for the casual voter, it's what you described. it's his age. it's his situation senility and incompetence and that's warn down -- i keep referencing the casual voter, stuart. that's the person paying a slight bit of attention and has a bit of a feel for what's going on. that's broken through to the attention of the casual observe, biden's incompetence. i don't know what they can do to
10:08 am
sideline him. i don't know what they can do to push him out. they can embrace the investigation, i guess. they could do that, stop fighting the house committee that's looking into the business dealings with hunter and joe biden but they're strapped. no, they cannot, they cannot put forward kamala harris and they're strapped to joe biden. stuart: i think you're right. again, a unique and extraordinary situation we find ourselves in. thanks for the explanation, will, we always like that. hawaiian electric said their power lines indeed started the first power line in maui but not taking all the blames. lauren: two wild fires 75 yards apart over a few hours. hawaiian electric said, yes, our downed power lines caused the first one and maui fire fighters came and contained and left and then the second fire started. hawaiian electric said we did not start that second fire.
10:09 am
they're blaming the fire department for leaving too soon and saying that the situation was contained. part of the story was coming out yesterday. they were getting defensive and saw the stock up 45% and now down 5 or 6% and hawaiian electric polls are made of wood and not covered with anything for protection and from the 1960s. a wild fire in california, you're going to deenergize your lines and they've been through this and hawaii doesn't have a system and they need to. hawaiian electric and the county are under fire. stuart: thank you, lauren. ceo of amazon has a warning for employees not wanting to return to the office three day as week. he said it's probably not going to work out for you if you're away for more than three days in the office. scott shellady with me now. employers want this.
10:10 am
employees don't. >> if we listen to the job numbers you rattled off, seems to me when i heard that story that maybe it's not as tight as people think it is really. or at least the employeer -- employees don't have as much power. because if they had as much power as they're trying to tell us they do, if you don't want to come back in the office three days a week. get ready. i think he should say five days a week. i'm in the camp that it's very important for young, new people starting in the business to be in the office and have mentors and learn the business and make relationships outside of work, after work. i'm not a fan of this thing at all. by the way, there will be ups and downs with every company and every economy. when we start seeing some of these companies fail or the
10:11 am
economy going through a downturn, easier to fire the person you never see every day than to fire the guy in front of you. i have a choice that i can work from home. if your boss is in work every day, you're in every day. it's hard to fire a face but harder to fire someone i don't know. stuart: 30 seconds, two years from now, will everybody be back at work? >> most people, yes, the economy will be tough dpoaes and that'll make people grip on to the jobs more than now. they don't have the power they do. ai is going to make that happen too because you're going to worry about your job in technology. so, yeah, you're going to start going back every day because not because you have this luxury, but because you want to make sure they see you there working hard because if not and your economy or company goes down, you'll be the first to go.

stuart: "the wall street journal" reports the u.s. and allies are laying down plans for long-term military aid for ukraine. we have the story. what kind of aid, greg? >> long term i think is the critical phrase in that, stuart, as the war grinds on and doubts about support increase. new report says the biden administration and others are trying to lock in that long range backing.
10:19 am
ukraine is making some gains in summer counter offensive declaring the recapture of a town in the south that was held by russians and critical to kyiv split and between crimea and russian mainland. in addition to tough defenses and russians are fighting back as well leading to slower than expected progress against moscow by ukraine and according to officials quoted in "the wall street journal" story, allies are laying plans for more long-term military assistance. this aiming to build on what was discussed in the nato summit during which bilateral meeting ands ukraine and others pledged more aid to deter russia for now and fighting off any future offensive drives from matchup on sunday cue. mmoscow and guarding against al leadership after 2024. former president trump, other republicans have spoken of reducing military spending for
10:20 am
ukraine and that could see other countries take that lead. stuart, so far the u.s. has spent over $40 billion in weapons and equipment for ukraine. i've spent much of this summer in kyiv and other cities in ukraine, and i can tell you firsthand that many officials there are worried about what might be or might not be coming to them in the future. back to you. stuart: long term aid, greg, thank you very much. today marks two years since the remains of the 13 service members killed at kabul airport return home. house foreign affairs committee holds a round table with gold star families today. former navy captain brent sadly is with me. who should be held accountable for the botched afghan withdraw? >> thanks for having me on. i don't think anyone will be satisfied with the accountability we can get in the short term. really it'll be the political leadership that made horrible decisions and overroad what
10:21 am
appears to be contrary military best advice in the way and manner in which the evacuation was done in afghanistan. it'll have to wait till the elections come and the folks, the political leadership in the white house is the only way to get them accountable. some measure by having the opposition, probably the republicans in the house has opened the door to some accountability. but we're not going to see till the next election. stuart: has anyone been held accountable for anything at this point or is this just waiting for the politicians and voters to sort it out? >> i don't think anyone at an operational level was held to account and certainly bad decisions and reports and investigation on that so clearly there was some poor tactical operational decisions, but the real significance is a political decision that was made and unfortunately, that accountability is not forthcoming till elections. stuart: the commander of u.s. navy seventh fleet warn that had
10:22 am
china "aggressive behavior in the south china sea must be challenged". this is our military capable of supporting ukraine and countering the threat posed by china towards taiwan at the same time? can we do it? >> we have to be smarter than we have been so far, and we certainly need a better long term plan for how we're going to support jew crane. there hasn't been a-- ukraine. there hasn't been a cleese aggressive action of equipment and intelligence to ukraine such they can have an effect on the battlefield. that's job number one is getting smarter in ukraine and over in asia, there's really no choice. the chinese on a warpath to challenge us and to push us out and to degrade our alliances. key economic partners also very important security allies like japan, australia, philippines, and south korea. it's not a question of can we, we must. stuart: got it. brent, thanks very much for joining us this morning. you know, sometimes these major issues get lost in the fog of politics back home.
10:23 am
we should keep them front and center and put them on the front burner. brent, thank you for joining us, sir. come back soon. >> thank you very much. stuart: elite memo from the state department reveals that biden's special envoy robert mallee lost his security clearance. lauren, what's the significance of that? lauren: who was it leaked to? iranian state immediate owe. it was a april memo that iran published and written to robert mally as to why his security clearance was suspended and cited misconduct and mishandling of protected information. the biden administration has not commented, but how did iran get that memo? where is the leak, if there is one. if the memo is valid and is a security review needed in general? a lot of house republicans are mad about that story. stuart: got it, thanks, lauren. schools dealing with a teacher short anl are being forced -- shortage are being forced to use remote teachers and many parents saying that's plain unacceptable

lauren: in china and stock up 17% and revenue jumped 66% and people looking for deals, but they have an international site that everybody is talking about right now. it's called temu, t-e-m-u, it's the most downloaded shopping app in the u.s. in the second quarter. lot of girls are talking about it. my daughter begged me for a bead kit from temu, like 30% less than amazon. stuart: airbnb got what? lauren: named most innovative lodging brand and that's a big deal because that's higher than the second place hyatt and fifth place mariott trying to copy what a airbnb does and marriott has more short-term rentals and apartment-style living. stuart: they co. why are former twitter employees suing elon musk's x? oolauren: faces 2200 ashtrays case ands staff that sued the company not giving them --
10:30 am
arbitration cases because the company failed to pay thousands in filing fees and x said we're off the hook from the -- the fees were $3.5 million alone because we never mandate that had you settle through arbitration. in and out of courts. stuart: in and out of courts. thank you, lauren. schools are looking for a way to fight the teacher shortage. watch out. some are hiring virtual teachers. lydia hu has the story. most kids were already stuck with remote learning during covid. i can't imagine parents are happy to see it come back after the pandemic's over. >> yeah, and virtual learning also led to a lot of learning loss that we're trying to recover from. clearly some parents here have concerns about the quality of education being developed in the classroom and consider some parents may recognize that a virtual teacher is better than no teacher at all. they say that because most recent government data shows that nearly half of school districts in the country do not have a full teaching staff so
10:31 am
virtual teachers are stepping up to instruct and help fill that void. here's an example, watch. >> let me know in the chat box, do you want to be a gold monitor? yes or no to that question? harmony says nope because i want to be a teacher. i love it. teach on, harmony. >> that's an example of a middle school classroom and it's a proximity of learning and a handful of school districts and it's increased threefold since 2020, up to $21 million last year and indication of the growth and education reports that proximity learning deployed 295 virtual teachers across the country in 2020-2021 school year. last year the number nearly tritriple 868 virtual teachers n
10:32 am
the country and the growth said proximity learning core purpose centers on equitable access to certify teachers especially for underserved students. stuart, consider this took into consideration not all school districts are treating virtual teachers as permanent solutions here. charleston, south carolina, last year used virtual teacher and this year rotating away saying they're doing $5,000 bonus to keep and retain teachers in the classroom. not a permanent collusion for them. you can see both sides of the story. stuart: lydia, thank you indeed. several 2024 gop candidates promise to eliminate the department of education if they're elected. dr. swain, i don't think this will happen. it's highly unlikely we'll abolish the department of education. bear with me, suppose we did, what would education look like in america?
10:33 am
>> it would be returned to the states where i believe it belongs and so i believe the department of education was a mistake and better if education was centralized and if federalism worked in the country the way it's supposed to work based on the constitution. >> i mean, we understand where i'm coming from. stuart: i can't see it ever happening and i can't simply see the department happening. >> the republicans always promise a lot and in my opinion, they deliver little. so it's always popular to say that you would actually eliminate the department of education. no one does it but i do believe a case could be made for their elimination of their agency and for states to take a greater role in the education of the student, young people in their -- under their watch. stuart: some states going full force towards school choice in
10:34 am
education. some are really changing education at the state level. do you think that recollected rs course? will any democrats go for school choice? >> i don't think so. they're so much in the pockets of the teacher's unions and nea has enormous influence and it's set up in a way that the blue states will always resist. i'm looking to florida to the extent of tennessee that's moving in the direction of giving state governments more independence but returning control to the parents. parental choice whether they choose public schools, private schools, homeschools or whatever, i think that the parents should have the say about what type of education their children receive and that's not happening right now.
10:35 am
stuart: doctors, schools in new york city expect to see influx of 20,000 migrants heading back to the classroom next week. can they handle an influx of that size? >> i don't think involvement and the quality of education in america is already low and they're in every state and when you think about all the migrant children and the problems that they bring, not just language barriers but also socioeconomics and i believe that all students will be worse off especially working class and lower class children regardless of race. there would be less resources for their needs so it will result in a further decline of education and they're not ready for it and not equips and it's unfounfortunate we flooded the country with so many people when we can't care for our own stuart: we'll see more learning loss if our schools are crowded with the migrants?
10:36 am
>> yes. stuart: we continue to go downhill then? >> i mean, it's a disgrace if you look at american education in comparison with other nations around the world. very unfortunate situation, and i don't see enough being done by any political party to turn that around and the focus is on social engineering and political correctness, crt, di and not on educating sids in the basics. kids in the basics. stuart: if possible, would you de-unionize america's public schools? >> in a heart beat. stuart: yes. >> yes, i mean that's part of the problem. think about all the money that billions of dollars and the teacher'sdownons and use that money to donate to democrats -- teacher's unions and donate to democrats with that money and push to politicians and it's not a good investment. it's not a good investment for the teachers but teachers do need resources, and i think we need more organizations that will support teachers and if
10:37 am
they have legal fees, whatever the unions are doing that's good and it's very little in my opinion, we need other organizations or the government to step up and fill the gap. stuart: dr. carol swain, you make far too much sense and hope you can share with us in the future. thank you, doctor. >> thank you. stuart: white house addressed biden's claims that everyone will need a new covid vaccine. i thought the pandemics was over. lauren: well, there are new variants so i guess it's perpetual. now the white house is encounselorring, just encouraging every american to get vaccinated. >> vaccines against covid-19 remains the safest protection for hospitalizations and long term health and death. we're going to encourage americans to stay up to date on their vaccines. lauren: encourage mean mandate? they didn't say if it'll be a mandate for government workers to get a booster shot. three different boosters are coming on the market next month,
10:38 am
once approved by the fda and cdc. the issue is 17% of americans got the booster last fall. so i asked someone this morning that had covid twice, the second time pretty bad, would you get, for him, a third booster? maybe. stuart: yeah. lauren: i think it -- your perspective. some people it's no big deal to get covid. it's just a cold. they'll never get a booster. stuart: okay. lauren, thanks very much. now this, new york congresswoman claudia tenny demands answers from secretary mayorkas. she wants to know what the federal government is doing to stop the escalating migrant crisis and congresswoman tenny joining us in the 11:00 hour. national archive found thousands of e-mails send by then vice president joe biden sent under a pseudonym. james comer will tell us all about that, the hidden e-mails next. ♪

10:44 am
in idea? >> that's a great question. why would he set up with his family 20 shell companies and receiving payments from foreign nationals from romania, china, ukraine and russia? these are questions that every american should have and that's what our investigation of joe biden is all about. stuart: have you got access to documents from the national archives showing these pseudonyms? >> we have requested the un-redacted documents, and it's very important because we believe there may be some redactions as to who was copied on the e-mails where joe grind was using a -- joe biden was using a pseudonym, particularly in case of ukrainian policy, stuart. this is of utmost important to the national security. not only was joe biden using pseudonyms but copying his son on some of the e-mails that pertained to ukraine when we had prior to the pseudonyms becoming public, a transcribed interview
10:45 am
with devon archer, on the board of burisma, the corrupt energy company along with the president's son, he testified that the owners of burisma were squeezing hunter biden to call washington to get help to fire the prosecutor, shokin, who was investigating burisma for corruption. along the same time period, wee found a pseudonym where he copied hunter biden and it would lead one to believe this was joe biden's way of copying hunter biden to say, okay, send to burisma owners and tell them help is on the way and five days later, joe biden flew to ukraine to begin the process of firing the prosecutor in exchange for american tax dollars in the form of foreign aid. stuart: there's a wealth of information right there and it seems likely, sort of seems possible there'll be a government shut down. would that interfere with your investigations?
10:46 am
>> i don't think there'll be a government shut down. obviously we're having lots of internal discussions now with respect to how to fund the budget over the next 12 months and hope we can agree on cuts and agree on holding certain bad actors within our federal government accountable but at end of the day, that's a decision that looks like the republicans have to make as a whole because we're not getting any help from the democrats and they want to continue to spend into oblivion, i'm optimistic there won't be a shut down but any type of shut down would interfere with our investigation. any excuse the biden administration can give not to be transparent with the house oversight committee, they'll take that. stuart: james comer, thanks for being with us today. always a pleasure. >> thank you. stuart: now this, president biden sympathized with students dreading going back to school. watch this. >> coming back after three months of not doing any work or homework and all of a sudden

stuart: on the markets, proto-ty solid rally. especially the nasdaq, which is now up 176 pontos and a bit better than one and a quarter percent. the digital clock tells me it's almost exactly 10:51 and you know what happens at 10:51 eastern time, brian kilmeade miraculously appears where i'm sitting now. here he is. brian, welcome to the program. good to see you back. a judge just dismissed the lawsuit filed by sorority sisters at university of
10:52 am
wyoming. they tried to block a biological male transitioning to a woman from joining the program. the judge said the court will not define a woman today. what's your reaction? >> it's so disappointing and ridiculous. these judges should be embarrassed. of course a transitional male should not up end a sorority and other way around too with a fraternity. we all know this. the same thing with sports. and plus, you know, like it or not, people decide whether you're in the fraternity or sorority. how many pledge either and don't get in. maybe not you, stuart, all your friends get in. for the most part, i can't tell you how many said i went to penn state and pledged a bunch of fraternities and didn't get in and they should be able to make a choice. they have to go litigiously and does this transitioned however you say it male want to be involved in a sorority that doesn't want them? i mean, come on. it's ridiculous.

stuart: i want to ask you about the national soccer chief in spain. he kissed, as you know, jenny mermoso on the lips after spain's victory after the world cup. spain launched an investigation on whether he committed an act of sexual aggression. you love soccer like i do. where do you stand on this? >> it's amazing that this overwhelmed spain winning the world cup. and it's become the number one story, again. something else is sidelined and the big story is u.s. gets ousted in the knockout round and spain prevails. first time they win a world series women's cup. should he have done it? jowski, did he apologize? yes. should it be an international scandal resulting in a resignation? to me, no. i don't -- again, inappropriate, absolutely. but please let me tell you the last time he went to -- a sporting seventh celebration and think that was appropriate.
10:54 am
a lot of times people go a little bit crazy and remember, deion sanders and tim carver and back and forth with thing happen and megan rapinoe cursing every other word in front of children. you know, do you need to launch a big investigation? he kissed her on the lips and shouldn't have. case closed. decide what you want to do. stuart: yeah, fair enough. i know you are a big soccer fan. you've got to see messi mania firsthand in new jersey. okay. great reporting, brian. my question is: is messi going to upgrade the quality of major league soccer? >> no question. he turned down major offers to do it including saudi that offered him $700 million to play and playing minimum $50 million for two and a half years here. he's 36 years old and reigning world cup mvp and champion and

can't say a washed up person cops to the mls. maybe rueny had seen better days and beckham at 32 came here. you're not a washed up mid fielder. maybe top 10 in the world at the time. but he doesn't score. the average non-soccer fan like you, you don't need to see a score to see great playing but the average sports fan goes, how come it was only 1-0. don't tell me it was a great game. he's got 11 goals in 11 games and electric on the field. the times he misses has been almost as sensational as the time he hits and notice the stars are coming out to watch him. you saw lebron james there, you see all these celebrities here. you also see the story of people being more and more interested. non-soccer fans watching english premier league. they're watching it like non-football players watch american football. stuart: i would say that soccer is the up and coming sport in
10:56 am
america today. >> these franchises only a handful make money, but they are average worth $300 million. so $300 million because number one, you look at nashville and sell at 50+ thousand, atlanta selling at 50+ thousand and seattle and portland nonstop sellouts and cincinnati off to incredible start. miami has been struggle and not anymore. they're 14 points out of a playoff spot and now 12 points out of playoff spot. one player brings a coach and some supporting players and revamps everything. now, why the red bulls aren't using some of that red bull money to get renaldo or something else here. stuart: bring it in. >> right now there's very little interest and they get 9,000 in new jersey. stuart: soccer is on the up and up and we both love it. brians out of time. see you soon. >> soon stuart varney goes to a game and that's big. stuart: next case, new york congresswoman claudia tenny on
