>> the republican party, we need to define who we are and what we stand for. i'm from a different generation. the moral obligation of the u.s. president is exclusively to u.s. citizens here at home. there needs to be accountability. we can't have five elections and lose without a change in leadership. >> the only people in my view that take any care of the lives

of palestinians are the israelis and might sound counter intuitive to some people but it's true. >> the focus should be on the message that contrasts them with donald trump. this is about donald trump and someone beating him and a stat between them going back and forth doesn't get anybody where they need to be to be the nominee. >> we're very alarmed by the rise in anti-semitism on college campuses and now it seems like it's seeping into the public schools as well. stuart: let's check the markets, please. first, bitcoin. look at it go.n rallying recentd it's rallying today. look at stocks, the rally s has faded. in fact it's gone. dow industrials are down 40, nasdaq down a fraction, same with the s&p. not that much movement, a little red ink this morning. big tech, topping is meta and apple at 183, alphabet at 131, amazon and microsoft are down.

take a closer look at microsoft and apple together. if microsoft manages to end ins green today, that will be the third straight record close, microsoft is getting real close to apple and to being the most valuable company in the world. the u.s. 10-year treasury yield, 4.454%. that's the markets on a thursday morning. now this. what a disgrace. the kids are not up to speed on reareading and math but the teachers are making sure they hate jews. today, the teachers and student wills walk out of more than 100 schools in new york city, an outfit called shut down for palestine demands an end to u.s. support for genocide, their word. there's an online tool kit that tells how to lead walkouts, where to rally and how to convince, what does that mean, convince administrators to support them. the teachers are behind this and they politicized the schools and made them into centers of

anti-semitism. what are the jewish students supposed to feel when their classmates accuse them of genocide and when happens to any student that doesn't want to join in? 85 years ago in germany, natzi thugs smashed the store fronts of jewish businesses. these walkouts and rallies using words like genocide encourage violent extremism and encourage division. school champions lori harmon david banks warning teachers to the novi late speech and will review and take appropriate action on case by case basis. i think any teacher that takes part in a walkout in favor of terrorists should be fired, but that won't happen. the union will protect them. what a disgrace. third hour of varney starts now. stuart: ben domenech joins me

now. forgive my -- i'm insensitive about this quite frankly, but i can't understand how this is allowed to go on in public schools. >> stuart, i hear you and feel the emotion and i agree with you. it's abhorrent. the fact we have a public school authorities and teachers who feel like they can get away with this rank politicization of an issue as hot button as this and use these students as weapons in their own fight to further their side of the argument, it's absolutely chilling, it's un-american, and it has to stop. the simple fact is we can't allow this kind of thing to happen because it is a continuance of a political agenda that has no place. in an arena funded by the taxpayers that ought to be publicly welcoming to all, to not put jewish students in any kind of danger because of this rhetoric. yet this is the kind of thing we see happen time and again in our

schooling system here in america and i think a lot of parents in the wake of the pandemic became far more aware of, which is that these public schools, teachers really do believe that they have authority over them that they ought to use to further their personal agendas. it's utterly unacceptable and can't be tolerated and needs to be stamped out because it does not in my way contribute to the kind of education that every student deserves and in fact it distracts and foments discord for all. stuart: well said, ben. turn to the debate. watch this, roll it. >> donald trump's a lot different guy than he was in 2016. he said republicans were going to get tired of winning, well, we saw last night i'm sick of republicans losing. >> i don't know if out there tonight and if you're watching, warren, i don't know if warren buffett is collecting social security, but if he is shame on him. >> all the students on visas who are encouraging jewish genocide,

i would deport you from those campuses. >> it is not that israel needs america. america needs israel. >> i'll tell them as president of the united states, i'll be smoking the terrorists on our southern border. stuart: okay, ben, i know you watched it all. do you have an opinion on who won? >> well, i think that both ron desantis and nikki haley had good nights and i think most of the candidates performed well. though vivek ramaswamy kind of digs a hole for himself, put himself in a position where he's basically turning off a lot of republicans on the way to sending his message but, look, i think at this stage one of the things i heard from ron desantis that is think is critical is that the argument needs to be made to republican voters that the candidate who is standing there on the stage in front of them has a better shot of winning next november than former president trump. if you look at polling data very consistently, republican voters want to win. yet they haven't been convinced

yet that nikki haley or ron desantis we saw in the new york times and polls were leading joe biden when it came time for the contest and they have have a br shot of doing that than the former president. till they convince enough voters that they represent winning and a belter shot at winning than donald trump, then they're still going to be in second and third, and i think that they the time is growing short in terms of their ability to make that case. stuart: that's for sure. peter doocy, fox news, he just asked president biden about trailing donald trump in the polls. i want you to listen to his response, roll that tape, please. >> why do you think it is in this election season that voter. i have two good ones. why do you think people should be more concerned about abortion access than your age? >> i don't think it's a comparison. >> synergy home are you trailing trump in all the swing state polls? >> because you don't read the polls. eight of them i'm beating him

out of ten. eight of them. you guys only do two. cnn and new york times, check it out. check it out. we'll get you a copy. stuart: ben, it sounds like the president has some renewed confidence after democrats won big on election night this week. what do you say? >> first off, i would say the democrats who won this week won in spite of joe biden, not because of him. he wasn't on the trail and they didn't want him on the trail because they wanted to focus on the abortion issue and really keep, you know, this administration and bidenomics at arm's length. by the way, his response when it came to that polling data, i wonder sometimes how many of these polls they're putting in front of the president. how much joe biden is aware of how far behind he is so consistently, and how much his own personal, frankly failure of performance in the white house is weighing down the hopes that democrats have for next year. they're still very nervous about

this and it's why they're going to rush to put abortion on the ballot in as many states as possible. stuart: absolutely they will. ben domenech, thank you. the dow is up three or four points and nasdaq up 17, s&p up three. not much price movement. lieu basenese with us this morning. let's talk disney. the stock is up this morning, it's a 7% gain, $90 a share. is the worst behind them? >> still not buying even if you lent me the money, i think the worst is to come. if you read into the results, this is the second quart fertilizer a row they missed sales expectation and weakness on the top line and higher attendance at parks, but they're aggressively cutting costs and that's not a sign of a fundamentally strong business. they said they're going to cut another $2 billion in costs and bringing to $7.5 billion. what company has $7.5 billion worst of waste that i want to own? this is a company with profit margins of only 2.6%. grocery stores have higher

profit margins some of them. i want companies like app billion a 30% profit margin and not disney that's sucking wind and streaming and trying to revive itself. this is a stock, it's a blue ship stock that will keep shareholders in the blues today. stuart: they've gotten a boost because the hollywood strike is over and content can be provided. what else do we have for you? >> the other thing people have to pay attention to is jay powell is speaking again today and poor, poor powell. every time he speaks, stocks selloff and i think it'll happen again today. he has to remind investors, the fed said we're watching treasury yields but we might not be done yet. i don't think he's done so if you look at probability of a rate hike, it drop next to zero in december. down to 10% from 39%. stuart: lauren is pulling a face. lauren: thinking of something i read from goldman sachs saying the hard part is now down and makes me think this happy go lucky feeling will just continue

now. maybe regardless of what jay powell says. stuart: seems to be disagreement. >> yeah, wickerful thinking and the hard far is the first 25 miles and that last 1.2 miles is the hardest and that's where we're at with the fed and we've got it with inflation. can we bring it down? i'm telling you the strikes have raised wages across industries and that's an inflationary pressure that's not going away. stuart: read between the lines this afternoon when we hear him speak. what have you got on general motors, lauren? lauren: down just a half a percent and there's a report that their cruise unit is cutting contractor work there and you know these are robotaxis and they were suspended in the state of california and crews then paused their fleets everywhere. now laying off some workers, not a good look. stuart: i remember when it was just coach and now it's tapestry company. lauren: correct, the parent can't company and in the process of buys capri, jimmy choo,

michael kohrs and look at margins and they grew by 258 basis points. stuart: nvidia. lauren: they're up and on a plan to release three new chips in china. china is 20-25% of their overall revenue. nvidia said china is nothing to us and not a big deal. stock is up 225% this year. maybe you believe them. why are they know now being so aggressive despite the restrictions by washington to get more chips into china if china is not a big deal for their market? stuart: i don't know the answer to that but know that nvidia is close to an all time high. they're up, way up today, 12 bubs higher. office of veteran's affairs looking into using psychedelics to treat ptsd. the full story coming up for you. group of american cowboys travel to israel to help farmers who'd been called to the front lines. yeah, i bet those boys stuck out like a -- cowboys stuck out like a sore thumb.

it's been rallying recently. eight people killed after a human smuggler transported a car full of migrants tried outrun police and crashed head first into an oncoming suv. bill melugin live from mission, texas. two of the eight people were americans; have that correct, bill? reporter: that is correct, and unfortunately it's yet another example of innocent americans getting caught up in human smuggling and had nothing to do with but end up losing their lives as a result. we'll go into the horrific photos and this crash happened near batesville, texas, yet. eight people dead, including the two americans and texas dps telling us the human smuggler had a car full of five illegal immigrants, mostly from honorato and evading police and tried to go around a big rig in a no passing zone and collided head on with an suv driven by the american couple from georgia and they've been identified now. take a look at their photos here. they're a married couple from dalton, georgia.

67-year-old jose and 65-year-old isabel lirma and their sons were notified yesterday and they were driving to mexico from georgia when the crash happened and told they both died instantly. it's get another family lobbed of loved ones because of chaos at the southern border, which is nonstop. take a look at this new video from texas dps near del rio showing troopers and border patrol chasing a human smuggler chasing a tahoe full of immigrants and the car is going off the road and one of the immigrants bails out and hits the ground, rolls and the car goes in the brush and everybody bails out and goes running off in all directions. dps troopers and border patrol go in the brush and chase everyone and arresting several including the human smuggler and how it starts in the first place. take a look at dps helicopter near del rio and a group of illegal immigrants hiding in the brush off the side of the highway and the car pulls up and they go running out of the brush and get loaded up into the

smuggler's vehicle and they drive off thinking they're going to get away but dps was watching from their hell cometter and they radio it down and all the troopers go and they pull that vehicle over and they arrest everybody in that car. that sort of thing plays out here every single day multiple time as day, stuart, as the situation down here hasn't gotten better over the last two and a half years and only continues to get worse. back to you. stuart: sure does, bill melugin, got you. thank you, bill. homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas cannot answer questions on terrorists crossing the border. watch this. >> there's 280 something people on the terrorist watch list. are they out of the country or in the country? >> senator, they very well may be out of the country. >> be u you don't know. >> you came to this hearing today without those numbers? >> that is correct. >> senator, i'm not aware of a member of hamas crossing the border. i don't know that -- i will follow up with you. i can get you that information. stuart: senator mike braun is

here, republican of the state of indiana. senator, how does mayorkas not know how many terrorists have crossed the border? >> because he's been purposely detached from this because it's coming from the white house and it started immediately after biden got elected. by the way. i think he ought to resign immediately or be impeached. that's dereliction of the worst kind and this has been happening from about 16, 17 other senators were there right after biden got elected. we had just had record low from the trump administration and he didn't even know what a got away was. now that's up to 600,000 a year and these are the people that fly in to mexico and pay the big fees to the cartels, over 100 nationalities and the carnage that was just described along with the chaos, that's becoming a real issue, and i think that will be litigated in '24 and the

good news is our own conference in the senate is elevating that to maybe the most important issue and it ought to be. stuart: do you think in the election next year the chaos at the border, this open border, will be a really big issue. would it be bury bed everything else. else? >> it'll be right up there because know when you talk about all the aid other the want for places around the world, we're in unanimity with israel and we don't want it bundled together but this is the first time that i've seen where the southern border is going to be part of that total dis-vision and never been elevated there and i think we got the leverage now to force the administration to do something. if not it's on them and, yes, it will be a bigger issue going to the election and those will be the two big issues.

stuart: congresswoman rashida tlaib is responding to the house sen sure vote centture vote. >> dbrox co-you use it or include it in the video? >> i'm asking my colleagues not to distort the words of their residents. many in the movement for human rights for palestinians have centered it around coexistence and hear them calling for that and saying that no matter your faith, ethnicity, background, you should you should be able to live without fear, without discrimination, without this kind of inequality that netanyahu extremist party and his leadership has been pushing. stuart: she was trying to explain away that expression from the river to the sea. meanwhile, she's brought anti-semitism into the very heart of america's congress. what should be done with her? >> well, no. 1 that's very simple and that's all of israel. she cannot try to mitigate what

she said and when you get censored by 22 from your own party that you stepped across the boundary line, that's visit reel and it's -- vitriol and costly and it's out of step with some of the radicals in that group. i'm glad to see that they brought it to a centure vote and terrible she's lining up like that and you deserve to be centure when had you say stuff like that. stuart: indeed, don't be a strange tore us, please. come back soon. senator braun. thank you, sir. hamas leereds say they are hoping, hoping for a permanent war. come on back in, ashley. they don't want base, do they? peace, do they? ashley: they certainly don't. the hamas leaders knew their deadly attack on israel would be met with a large response but they say it was done to address a growing sense of frustration that the palestinian cause was being abandoned. in a frankly shocking interview with the new york times, a

terrorist group says it hopes to be engaged in a permanent war with israel on all fronts. why? to keep the palestinian issue on the table while being supported by the arab world they say. hamas told the paper that it's not interested in running gaza or even caring for the palestinian people saying it's not about electricity, food, fuel, protection, but instead telling the world that the palestinian cause will not die but again, absolutely no regard for the people of palestine. stu. stuart: no regard at all. thanks, ashley. the hollywood strike haves come to an end. the actors union got a deal valued at nearly $1 billion. we'll tell you exactly what's included in that deal. the department of veteran's affairs estimates 33,000 vets are homeless on any given night. now, tunnel to towers, that's a charity, is working to address the crisis. jeff flock reports on that, next. ♪

reporter: they have cutting the ribbon on this, stuart. this is a concept they have to bring all around the country to try and address this. they're cutting the ribbon on, roger, spin around this way first and show stuart when this is. this is called tunnel to towers veteran's village. there'll be 160 veterans in here at some point. folks that were homeless or in shelter withs a decent place to live and community has come out to support this. many of the people you see here, some of them veterans, people that live nearby just to support are fighting men and women. i've got one of them, john manly. you were in a shelter, a different situation, not good. what do you think of this place? >> this place is a good place to be. it's brand new, and it's lovely. everyone is happy that came over here and they didn't make the mistake of staying where we were. reporter: which was in a tough situation. >> tough situation. reporter: stuart said about 30,000+ homeless veterans on any

one night in america. you believe that? >> yes, i believe that. a lot of them needs to be helped. we all need somebody to help us. like i said, me myself, i'm proud and i'm happy to be where i'm living right today. i got a new live, i got a new start. reporter: stuart, i want to show you where the kinds of rooms where these folks live. it's a fairly new hotel converted to this use. you've got a beat place to live in here. >> yes, we do. they remodeled it from the ground up inside. he everything is brand spanking new. lovely. washers, driers, the bedding, everything. reporter: you deserve it, sir. >> thank you. thank you. reporter: seven years of service to the -- to all of us. i wish you were here, stuart. i don't often wish you were here with me because we're in the middle of nowhere but today, you'd love this. gives them a last look at the

folks and there's a lot of fans of yours in the crowd. stuart: that was good to hear but that was a fine statement from that gentleman that you interviewed there. makes people feel good when they see that kind of stuff. well done, jeff, thanks a lot. joining me is clark pennington, a veteran of the u.s. army. you say thanking a veteran for their service is nice, but that action needs to be put behind those words. what action should we be doing? >> i think just taking into consideration the service that the men and women that served in our armed forces, what they've given up, some of the things they've had to endure during their service really starts to manifest itself in crisis back here at home. so what we're doing is we're reaching out to our local stake holders, police departments, fire departments and working with them to really understand the military and veteran culture and then hopefully working with them to work through that crisis, deescalate, and then provide resources to get the assistance they might need. stuart: suicide rate for veterans i believe is some 57% higher than for the general

public. what do you want done about this, more mental health facilities? more money being spent? what do you want? >> well, i think, you know, understanding the mental health crisis that our veterans go through is a very unique crisis and an issue that really stems from their service to our country. it semis from what they had to endure in combat serving our country and serving our freedom. understanding the culture and what they've gone through is more important. secondly, we need to dig stigmatize that whole mental health crisis issue and provide those resources to our veterans and encourage through them our support both in law enforcement, community partners and family members to really encourage that mental health treatment. stuart: where do you get your money from, if i may ask. >> north carolina, we're an organization that's based out of charlotte, north carolina. north carolina has taken the forefront in the cutting edge-type opportunity to serve veterans here in the state. the state does fund the

veteran's justice initiative here in north carolina where we have trained over 3,000 police officers on military culture, deescalation and de-criminalization and mental health issues and work with local police departments and case work where they bring us individuals they might find on the streets and homeless individuals that might be veterans and they're struggling and we work with them to get through some of the processes that might need to be gotten through to either increase or apply for military benefits, if they're eligible, then to ultimately work through joblessness, homelessness, and criminallalties that might occur because of mental health issues. stuart: clark pennington, you're doing fine work. thank you for joining us, simplet much obliged. >> thank you. stuart: veteran's administration is open to exploring the usage of psychedelics to treat ptsd. ash, tell me more. ashley: yeah, veterans say current treatments for pt sd has growing support for psychedelics

like magic mushrooms that contain sialopsychoen and it's helping them breakthrough the trauma and finally find some peas peace but like other psychedelics, sialopsychoen is ill illegal. the potential use of psychedelics as a treatment use for ptsd and the va is open to use of psychedelics, especially for ptsd and as we know, it's quite a number of veterans suffer with that, stu. stuart: if it works, it works. do it. if it works, you know. ashley: exactly. stuart: thanks, ash. it's almost friday. and that means there's still time to send in your friday feedback. tell me, the producers want me to ask you to tell me how did i

structure for when content goes on a streaming service. we aren't going to know the specific details until the board reviews it, but the studio shared it's giving actors key points they were looking for. they shared this one announced last night "the biggest contract on contract gains in the history of the yawnon, a brand new residual for streaming programs and extensive consent and compensation protections in the use of artificial intelligence". not a moment too soon, we've been closing in on $6 billion in economic impact with everyone out of work. now, big sticking point throughout this, most members of the union aren't making george clooney salaries and you've got working actors and sag said "in a contract valued over $1 billion, there's a scope that enables sag members from every category to build sustainable careers". your delayed somehows and movies, we're getting back to work here in tinseltown and studios delayed many releases

like mission impocket film and allows some of the broadcast tv season and 2024 film slate to be sasaved and two big take aways, the streamers need to find a way to deal with the increased cost this agreement is going to put on them. disney announced just last night on the earnings call, they're looking to cut $2 billion in cost and you've likely noticed subscription service fees rising and we could see that happen again and this year of strikes has shared how inflation would increase with all of this stuff. the other thing, stuart, ai. that's the big news coming out of this. back to you. stuart: kelly, thanks very much indeed. it's got to be paid for so does this mean, lou, the streamers will charge high price s? >> absolutely. content is king in this market and if content costs more, someone will pay for it and that'll be us, the lowly consumers and every single streaming company is profitable. disney hopes to reach profitability in 2025. that hope will be long extended. if you look at netflix, they finance a lot of content

purchases with debt and now that debt is becoming more expensive too. at the end of the day, the expense is rolled downhill to the consumer and that's who pays it. stuart: you think it'll hurt disney? >> i think there's too much competition in the streaming space. has to be consolidation. disney's saving grace is divesting espn and can get a high value and put it in the hands of apple that can monetize it and gives disney the ability to focus on traditional network content and disney+ and the parks. it's an entertainment business. stuart: i wonder if apple could buy espn. >> raises ragaini real genuine antitrust concern, absolutely does. in a market where there's other buyers coming in if it's a competitive process, i thatch l could move forward with that. stuart: lou, thank you very much. there's a huge tv and movie stewed joe coming to new york. studio coming to new york. ashley, is hollywood leaving california? ashley: well, all i can say is move over, hollywood.
