britain's prime minister jumped into the transgender debate. rishi sunak said this. >> for parents to know what their children are being taught in school, a man is a man and a woman is a woman, that is common sense. stuart: did you hear that. he went further, said we shouldn't be bullied into believing people can be any sex they want, they can't. those are his words. he make his opinion clear. trans activists want to shut the debate down. to them free-speech is dangerous. india will be is a well-known trans journalist who says the prime minister is putting people in danger and inciting threats to their lives. that's consistent theme. are dangerous if you say a man as a manager woman is a woman, keep quiet, you are putting lives at at risk.

josh holly --howlaey was asked if a biological male can have a baby, just asking that question is inciting violence, that's not debate, that's shutting it down. what rishi sunak did was he said what you are not supposed to say. it is called free-speech. can you see president biden saying a man is a man and a woman is a woman? probably not. second hour of varney just getting started. ♪ it is friday morning. tammy bruce sitting right there. i was surprised to hear the prime minister said that so straightforwardly. >> there's there is a stage where everyone recognizes every

civil rights fighting this country was never reliant on limiting common sense or the existence of people or condemnation of a nation or of other people. it was about being recognized for who you are, minorities, i am a sexual minority, there are racial minorities and that is real life. you've got transgender people, that's what's difficult for the extremists who are the activists, that's not a representation of the trans community. i know many transgender people, we know caitlin jenner. there's a recognition from trans people that they are a trans person, there is no debate or confusion about biological women versus trans women or trans men. there are differences. the harm that is done to the trans community is when the extremists try to make the entire community a part of this

kind of strange approach of wanting no one to discuss things, the only way minorities are able to move through so side and achieve what we want to achieve is when we have open conversation, open ideas. that is what is required for us to be embraced. stuart: another one for you. hillary clinton calling for back lash against the extremists who voted to remove mccarthy. >> do not represent a majority of even the republican party. when you look at the extremists in the house, they don't represent a majority of the country. somebody has to stand up and say enough. at some point there needs to be a backlash against the control that this small group of extremists have. and i don't know who will lead that, but let's hope whoever becomes the new speaker will.

stuart: do the democrats want hillary clinton making statements like this? >> her statement about the basket of deplorables was scripted. she said it in israel and another private fundraiser in the public event. this was something that was planned. what you didn't hear is where she said because at some point there needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members, but something needs to happen. the same iteration, a different framework whereas you get people, she is suggesting, what does she mean, does she mean a camp? does she mean deprogramming, some kind of thing, don't agree with her point of view that we need to be changed in some fashion. people in the house of representatives represent the majority of the american people, they were elected by

the american people, she was not, she was rejected, she never held the kind of position you have to get elected every two years and face the voters again and again. 70 million people voted for donald trump. this is the reason for the support, not because it is a cult but hillary clinton at the democrats suggest that people who disagree with them should be controlled, deprogrammed. that is the dangerous point of view, not someone who made their lives better. neil: stuart: tammy bruce working up the fire. >> i'm going to blame you. stuart: you are all right. >> should not be swept under the rug. check this out. 336,000 jobs created last month, the unemployment rate stayed at 3.8%. edward lawrence, take us through it. >> the federal reserve will

result of specific investments. infrastructure, manufacturing. >> last weekend, austan goolsbee says he will watch how strong the jobs report needs to be to make a decision on one more rate hike because of sticky inflation. >> are you okay with around 3% inflation? through the presidential election? >> no. i'm not okay with 3% inflation. that's not a target, inflation needs to get to 2%. we are on the way and don't have to have a major recession to keep getting inflation down. >> might be in the minority as we start to hear what could be a mild recession because the federal reserve could be forced to raise rates again.

stuart: luke lloyd is with us. what is your take away, the market can't figure out what to do with it. >> my reaction, a more socialistic, they were added last month. creating them in the public sector. who is financing those jobs? me, you and inflation. the government is on track to add one trillion dollars in debt in a month in government spending, keeping inflation and again. we saw $275 billion added to government debt in one day. a record. the federal reserve is fighting a losing battle against the federal government have spending addiction. the best boxing match since ali and frazier. stuart: you are predicting a market selloff big time.

>> there will be rough road ahead. it was not built for higher interest rates. doesn't mean the higher interest rate but bankruptcies. they were false for consumers and businesses as interest rates at the margins. companies and people overleveraged themselves for years but $2 trillion in corporate debt, 20% of corporate debt over the next two years, 50% of government debt means refinance for the list two years. the higher narrative will turn into a credit conversation. that is a snowball effect, i don't think equity markets were priced into potential credit risk. they are overleveraged today. stuart: that is a negative outlook.

stuart: markets all over the place, 222 points, dow stocks, the big losers taking thou off, record highs this year and i bet we prepare chicken over beef or pork. lauren: still, we are eating more of it. the usda says each american is expected to lead a hundred pounds of chicken this year. a hundred pounds for me, hundred pounds for you. as we back off beef and pork. the problem is the producers to save money and be profitable, they cut down on their chicken production, closing 6 production plants recently. i'm saying the chicken has flown the coop, those prices

are going back up and you might have seen it already. this story yesterday on the s&p 500 after they reported higher prices and higher sales for rosen potatoes. the ceo said customers are not cutting back so at a fast food restaurant, they order the fried chicken but also the french fries or combo meal. they are not cutting back with the french fries. analysts say that is a good sign for the consumer. maybe not healthy but the health of the consumer's wallet. stuart: they are tasty and attractive. lauren: to save money i would think you would only order the fries. stuart: moving on. chicago plans to elevate the tips as wage system, restaurants will for before to pay workers minimum wage even if they get tips. john tapper joins me now. what does this do to the

restaurant business in chicago and other places that do the same thing? >> this is the continuing -- if i look at the uaw strike, they talk about the impact of inflation, beating their income levels. the cost of inflation is causing them to take a different approach with their employers. in the restaurant business, i get it, the employees are killed by governmental policies, they need greater income. the restaurants are getting killed by the cost side as we just saw with french fries as examples, a crunch on the energy side, the labor side, i get it, restaurants are struggling, we are trying to find the dollars that pass through to keep our teams intact. i don't argue with anyone's posture in this but this is the result of the inflationary impact of our businesses.

stuart: here is something else that might be hit on bars and restaurants. we are seeing more skip out on happy hour, they head straight out, that's another hit. >> of course it is. a lot are not consuming product at the level we used to. all of these have a depression every impact on the business, trying to pay employees well and provide the experience we want to. it is a battle to accomplish that in today's environment. it goes to the environmental policies that are putting this pressure on us all. stuart: to relieve the pressure there's been a steady increase in extra fees added to restaurant bills, restaurant folks say got to keep up with inflation, add it to the bill. is this the new normal? how is the public reacting? >> as an industry spokesperson, we've got to find the money somewhere or we can't continue to operate. our margins are being crushed by these inflationary factors.

some restaurants are raising menu prices. others are saying i would rather not raise the menu price but put an extra charge on to illuminate that charge. if the inflation reverses itself to some level. people are taking different approaches but we are fighting for the dollars we need to survive in this compression we are living in. stuart: hate to see guys go out of business but i presume if you do you would be the smaller guys, not the chains but the smaller guys are going out. is that accurate? is that what is happening? >> yes it is. that is why sky and i did the rescue mission. a complete sky tear but business management poa system. and using this as case studies. what can independent business do with a few dollars, an
