it is coming down about an inch every couple of hours. new york city. good morning, every one. it is 10:00 eastern. the markets coming back a bit. we are up 100. nasdaq up 170, 1.3%, solid gain. the yield on the 10 year treasury coming down a little. down 5 basis points. we are up 452, the price of oil, bitcoin around 26,894. any minute, the president of the united auto workers union, sean fain, will deliver remarks on the ongoing strikes. he will say if the strikes will be extended again or not. we have this on our hands, the latest read on consumer sentiment.

lauren: 68. one in the september. one year inflation expectations, that matches in march 2021 and that is remarkable. inflation coming down. stuart: market, no reaction, up 100 on the dow, no reaction to that. 50,000 migrants crossed the southern border in the last week, a record number, extraordinary pictures. it is obvious there's a new surge. does not being taken seriously. the president goes to california and arizona, border states but doesn't go near the border. democrat line is now there's nothing to see here. everything is under control, watch this exchange between jake tapper and squad member presley. >> no doubt about it, our

border is secure and we are in the midst of a humanitarian crisis and we have to fix a broken system. >> is it secure, we are in the midst of a humanitarian crisis. >> this conversation for another day but do you think the border is secure? is that what you said? stuart: she did say the border is secure, she did say. we have a border czar or maybe a former order czar. kamala harris is the vice president but she is giggling her way through a college tour. where do we go for dose of reality, elon musk. he went to the border and live streamed the visit. this man understands there's a crisis. >> what we are seeing here are

some extreme individuals coming through who had faced tattoos, and they are so proud, this person claimed asylum. >> we let them in. stuart: a president who won't go to the border, democrat party and border denial, a vice president who doesn't take the border seriously. who is in touch with reality? elon musk. the secure under control border, 10,000 a day still coming through. second hour of varney still getting started. it is friday, tammy bruce is here, can tammy bruce get the attention? >> he has gotten their attention it is under federal investigation.

they will indict him for something. they will do something. they will take action. what we have to consider, they are not distracted, they understand they want it to continue. for most of us, that is inexplicable. we see that attitude in every sector of what is happening which is chaos, control, things that make our lives less livable, putting people more in fear. it is all of that. it is horrible and they can't hide from it. stuart: next one, republican donors pushing for the governor of virginia to enter the 2024 race. what do you make of the gop lineup? doesn't need younghidden? does anyone have a shot of beating trump? >> we need as much talent as possible, whether for the next republican administration and

to save this country, virginia needs him, he has a lot of potential and talent, maybe the secretary of education. there is all kinds of talent. what worries me is we talk about people being in denial, donors and everyone else have to admit what the american people are saying, we want to return to success, policies that help our lives, energy independence to an economy that can work. it may not be trump. nikki haley and ron desantis, that is great, but we are coming to the point, our lives matter, we are just regular people listening to us for a minute, it would be okay, things will be fine. america has dealt with all kinds of things. this is a turning point and trump represented that but the american people understand why

he is leading to that nomination and deal with it and some of this dynamic. stuart: california senator dianne feinstein has passed away at the age of 90. you worked on her first campaign in 1992. >> she was, by the way, we disagree on some of the issues, she is really the last vestige of what the democratic party used to represent. she was the conservative one for democrats in 92. barbara boxer who was running at the same time, she wasn't doing well, so my idea to pair them, to pool boxer across the finish line which worked but feinstein was doing well because she was seen as conservative, remarkable background, lovely woman, genuinely cared about the issues. sometimes right, sometimes wrong, but that is the kind of politician's they need.

it is sad, lovely woman, rest in peace, but for me it is another individual, many democrats who, like me, i am now become a republican but that was our option, you have the feinsteins of the world when you talk decent politicians who won't lie to you about what is going on, value-based, pursue those values, that was dianne feinstein. we are worse off with her being gone. it will be interesting to see what the democratic party thinks they will do about that. it is a shame. stuart: thanks very much. appreciate it. donald trump is going after the republican national committee again. now what is he saying? lauren: he said the daily caller has to stop debates, no more debates, bad for the republican party. they are not going anywhere meaning there is no breakout candidate. we might have seen that two

times the past two debates, nikki haley was the breakout candidate, vivek ramaswamy was the breakout candidate in the second debate but everyone is trying to be the alternative. stop with the debates because he's got the lead. who else wells is gaining enough momentum? stuart: what is he 60 points out? after the debate, 62 points ahead of desantis. when is the next debate? lauren: november and i am a. do we know if trump is participating? i don't know. he thinks he needs to. he thinks he will -- for lack of a better word, coronation. >> this is for the democrats. we should continue to have debates, this is a chance democrats are looking, who can we choose other than biden, other than someone else. we owe the company and the

republicans have to embrace this idea of this is who we are now. beyond that, trump needs that, whoever becomes the nominee, to bring america forward, it independents, democrats and other republicans as well. the debate should continue. even more substantive and we can dig into some of these positions but they have to continue on. donald trump would be better off and everyone would be better off. stuart: i would be honored to do another debate. back to the markets, still seeing green. i like the look of the nasdaq up 158 points. to analyze this market, we've got a modest rally. are you predicting a solid rally going forward? >> yes and no. we are coming to the end of the seasonal volatility.

the fed got the personal consumption expenditure is less than anticipated. that's fueling the markets. my call for the rest of the year is to see the fed go dovish before the end of the year. we won't drop rates but they stop organically which fuel a 10% rally from now to the end. stuart: 10% rally between now and the end of the year, that's a solid rally indeed. i will go through them. meta, google, amazon, start at the top, meta, what is so special and where is it going? >> it's earnings will expand and outperform. they are an ai play as well as google and amazon but those stocks carry the market this year. in this type of environment where the rest of the market is lagging, just a month ago, everyone saying small caps, that hasn't worked out well so far. things have dropped since then. companies are expanding when we

have a challenge economic times, they have monopolies in our space. there is no competition. they exceeded earnings projections despite seven quarters of negative earnings growth, those are the companies you want to own at this time. we want meta, alphabet, amazon, best of three. thank you very much, see you again soon. lauren is looking at the movers and game stop is a mover today. lauren: this is what happened. one of those volatile meme stocks. brian cohen's executor chairman and ceo and blasted off this e-mail to staff saying extreme frugality is required to right the ship, and the stock was up and that. they are trying to become profitable and cut down on costs. stuart: lululemon up 2%, laying

off 120 employees. >> pallets on -- peloton is always higher. they are teaming up, in this team up, it is a way to fix the problems. stuart: walgreens, they are up this morning. tell me why. lauren: there is a report they are eyeing the former cigna executive for their ceo. walgreens is trying to become more of a healthcare company. they were looking for chief executive with experience. they found one. also pharmacist shortage problem, most pharmacies are. they are using robots to place the pills and medication in the bottle to save the pharmacists time. when they went to pharmacy school they were never treated. stuart: gas prices now over $7 a gallon in some parts of california, that is regular by

up, the nasdaq is up 150, that is a rally. any moment now, sean fain will give an update on the strike. our are other carmakers feeling the effects of the union strike against the big three. stuart: ashley: they are. the ripple effect of the strike could hurt car drivers, car dealers, auto parts suppliers. a long, drawnout standoff will reduce the number of cars and make it harder for people to repair their vehicles, reduce demand for parts needed to to make new vehicles. as popular models become scarce, dealers are likely to push up prices. one other factor to point out, servicing and repairing vehicles is the most profitable dealerships, service departments bring in so much money they can cover most of the other costs of running a dealership. as you can see the longer the strike goes on the bigger the scope of the economic impact.

stuart: thanks. jeff flock at the picket lines, joins me now. does it look to you the strike will be extended to more factories? >> it does look that way and i'm listening in, folks here at this stellantis facility, they have sean fain on the speaker, listening as best they can. they are expected to do that. we expected it as well. this is what happened on friday. there was not enough progress. reuters is reporting they targeted two plants. we've not confirmed this. workers have said the gm lansing assembly plant is going to be struck. that is as far as i can

ascertain, about 3000 assembly line workers make the chevy traverse, the buick encore, the gmc acadia. those are suvs. the report from reuters, they also going to target the chicago assembly plant, uniontown in chicago. the ford explorer is a big money maker and seller for forward. this would be the first time they expanded the strike when it comes to forward, that was against only gmc and stellantis plants. if this is what goes down here, the live stream has been delayed by 20 minutes. what is going on here, reuters with those two plants, made an

offer to the uaw, and criticized for doing it against the deadline and haven't heard of a stellantis plant. this is a parts facility. the assembly plant, that is where they make the dodge ram 1600. at this point, lansing plant, and wait for sean fain to say what is real and what is not? stuart: you do serious damage because they may profitable suvs.

his speech, once the heckler was thrown out, and said he has in practice already declared a climate emergency. he also noted that incident, saying democracy is never easy as we just demonstrated. stuart: here's a headline. climate protesters will never get people to change if they keep acting like this. are they changing people's minds at all? >> we had the iconic soup for lingers when they threw the towel mado super year ago and this weekend in berlin the protests stopped america from going on, covering themselves in orange paint and were dragged off by police. for anyone looking in from the outside even if it is someone whose mind might be changed, these tactics are so petulant and childish and a survey from university of pennsylvania found 13% of the general public
