stuart: that is good manic monday, last monday was a manic monday. i don't know about this one but at the moment it is not that manic. look at new york city, blue sky, it is gorgeous, 10:00 o'clock eastern, straight to the money, the market is taking a dip, the dow is down 200, the s&p on 15 nasdaq 1031. home depot in goldman salesforce and amgen all dragging down the dow the biggest losers on the dow taken to get a couple hundred points. the ten year treasury has been moving up you are down a bit, 393, the price of oil in the upper 70s, 7796. bitcoin is at $58000 per coin as markets are not a manic monday so far. now this . . . but harris is on
7:02 am
a roll, this honeymoon has legs. a new york times poll shows the vice president leads by four points in three keys date michigan, pennsylvania and wisconsin, were sport trump according to a financial times poll more people trust harris on the economy that had been his strong suit. she is getting by with platitudes, vaguely saying she will work for the working people, make the economy work for everyone i have no idea what that means. she is flip-flopping on the border and on fracking but at this point does not matter kamala harris is playing a wave of emotion, democrats have had to do candidate who they think has a shot at winning and they're not going to mess things up by doing press conferences or interviews a serious journalist. besides harris will be crowned at the next week convention and that will give her another lift. by the way look closely at her demeanor, the giggling inappropriate laughter has gone, the rambling word solids are gone because she never leaves her teleprompter.
7:03 am
her campaign brought in obama people and they have improved her public performance. trump is frustrated he's arguing crowd size claiming her numbers are inflated by a.i. he is miffed that harris has taken over the no tax on tips idea. he's actually looking back to 2020 telling a big donor we've got to stop this deal all over again, this is according to the new york times which also reports to use foul language to describe his opponent. not a good idea if you want to attract suburban women who can make or break your campaign. two weeks ago it seemed the election was trump's to lose, now it seems he is a fight to win and he has not figured out how to do it. second hour of our need just getting started. ♪. stuart: lisa boothe with us, getting a rather contentious and i know what.
7:04 am
good morning, do you think that trump has worked out how to deal with harris? >> not not yet it does not appear he has yet. i think were also forgetting the man was on was assassinated a month ago after they tried to throw him in jail and he still facing the sentencing from a judge that donated to stop republicans the donated to joe biden. i think the frustration is warranted but there is so much at risk, the country is at risk and i think benjamin franklin said republic if you can keep it and we have half of the country with democrats that don't want to keep and don't value anything that it needs to be american and with kamala harris we have a candidate that is the least substantive, the most undemocratic election that we have ever had, she doesn't even have issues on her website as you talked about all the platitudes in the word solids things that mean nothing no basis of truth in the
7:05 am
undemocratic process of whacking joe biden to begin this woman then at the 11th hour that never received a single primary or want to caucus. we are in a troubling spot right now in the country at stake. stuart: do you agree with this, the honeymoon will continue because the media wanted to continue and we will never challenge her, what do you say. >> i don't know. how much of this is real. the media is obviously propping her up in their manufacturing or as a candidate to the public. we will have to see what is playing out in the polls but it's hard to fathom, i'm sure you agree and target fathom how anyone can see what is happened over the past four years of the bite inheres administration and say i want more of this. i want more of open borders that are leading to the decay of cities across america i want
7:06 am
more crime, i want more war across the world and less freedom of speech. it's like we live in two different americas and hopefully the same part of the country wins out. >> i definitely agree i don't want four more years of what we had but do you agree with this, president trump should not be using that kind of language to describe his female opponent, what do you say about that? >> i don't know i don't really care about that to be perfectly honest. i do think that he needs to get more focused. he needs to lay out the stakes and layout the fact that nothing is going right in this current administration, people do not believe that the american dream is attainable anymore, you people who feel like i will never own a house or get ahead and then you have cities that are being eroded and decayed by illegal immigration. i interviewed the mayor of springfield ohio for my podcast
7:07 am
and the truth would lisa boothe of a population of 58000 people and they had 12 - 15000 illegal aliens come to their city. it is unsustainable, you don't have a good move forward if you look at new york city as a result that is brought to you at the bite inheres administration who wants more of that because they know the impact the power for the electoral college and representation in congress, there using it for voting power as america suffers as a result. we are not going to have a country anymore if donald trump doesn't win. stuart: fair enough, he wants for more years of this. thank you for joining us. good to see you, charlamagne tha god is brushing off concerns that, but here is honeymoon phase will end by brushing off that. what they say. >> what you said at the top, the honeymoon has legs or so he thinks he believes harris can sustain the momentum because she's getting voters excited like obama did and she's bringing joy to independent
7:08 am
voters who wanted someone other than biden and other than try. >> i think there is less but a five the democrats are not spiking the football yet, the job is not done you still have to bring this home in november. i think there's a lot of energy people keep calling this the honeymoon phase i don't think it's a honeymoon i just think people haven't been energizing the democratic party in a long time i think a lot of voters if you're not a democrat you're an independent undecided person you have not been energizing something in a long time the last time we felt energy was 2008 when barack obama first ran. >> as the young kids say the vibe check, she wins. look at the polling, the siena pool has kamala harris up eight points with independence in the swing state of pennsylvania.
7:09 am
part of what he's saying is true but she's trying to embrace her entire record and has not, with any policy just yet. stuart: will the media let her get away with it? >> absolutely. back to the markets, i see some red although the dow is down 150 but the nasdaq has turned up it's up 34 points. ryan payne is with us. ryan has come up with this expression which he thinks is going to be the way the market goes. forget is he the mother of all melt tops. >> it's beautiful literature. a wonderful language, make your case. >> first off we have a lot of concern of the market over the last two weeks the market is starting to plummet and a lot of recession i came down from the mountain and said i don't think we have a recession coming in if you look at the economic data is actually accelerating. if you look economic growth which projected for the quarter is going to be 2.9%. it was 1.4% of record, that is accelerating profit is accelerating and we be estimates
7:10 am
90% of the companies that's going to continue. the crazy part, last week yet a lot of people panning out the market they did not take my warnings, yet 50 billion go to cash, your scene $6.19 trillion in money market funds. we know the fed will start cutting rates come september and probably 200 basis points are 2% worth of cuts over the next year that major 5% money market funds are probably going to 3%, where is somebody going to go. you have accelerating profits in the stock market, this is been my thesis all along. at some point this is going to come funneling back into the stock market and push it out to multiple levels. it might have ups and downs but the thing it is straight up at some point. >> exactly markets tend to overshoot on the downside and upside and is lining up at some point. stuart: where's the best place to invest.
7:11 am
>> tech is overvalued it got hit the hardest one market selloff, i think it has legs but as a long-term investor to avoid any built-up meltdown you want to invest everywhere else. if you look at real estate right now starting to look pretty good you have a 5% dividend on most and a lot of the bad news pricing, financials and rates start to get cut looking to make a lot more money in the net interest margins, small caps tapped into the economy they borrow a lot more so if rates come down is good be great for them and if the economy accelerated it's great for small caps and start to diversify your money further out and something i been preaching for a long t time. stuart: everything but big tech, your videotape saying this. we will talk again. lauren is looking at the movers and keycorp is a big mover. >> a regional bank leading the s&p 500. the news is that scotia bank is taking a 15% stake in keycorp, they're tapping into our stressed banking sector, that is the story there. >> i never invested in airline
7:12 am
since people express 30 years ago but jetblue why is it up 12%. >> there leveraging their loyalty program, the plaintiff raised more than $3 billion to separate debt offerings some backed by the true blue loyalty program, that is pretty risky. >> we did the most active, take two interactive on several list. >> they got a upgraded come up 2%, price target of 179, the firm sees an improved outlook for mobile gaming but also gta grand theft auto, the new one, number six is coming out soon, they're getting excited about the videogame pipeline if you will. have you ever played that? >> the u.s. is offering venezuela's leader nicolas maduro amnesty if he gives up power. what is with that, kt mcfarland has something to say about this for sure, trump's campaign says

7:18 am
gillian turner at the state department. do we know exactly what was hacked. >> we know that the same day the trump campaign announced they have been hacked the news outlet politico started reporting that they have been receiving e-mails from an omnibus e-mail account but to contain internal trump campaign documents kamala harris what the trump campaign says about all of this. the documents were obtained illegally from foreign sources hostile to the u.s. intended to interfere with the 2024 election to instill chaos. on friday new microsoft report revealed the iranian hackers broke into the account of a high-ranking official in the u.s. presidential campaign. they're not specifying which official, this back in june to
7:19 am
coincide obviously trump selection of his running mate jd vance. trump post this over the weekend on truth social. we were just informed by microsoft corporation that whatever many websites was hacked by the iranian government, never a nice thing to do. politico said they received the e-mails with somebody that using aol e-mail address and refer to themselves as robert. at one point they sent a research dossier that was dated february 23. the trump campaign had put together on jd vance. now trump ally mike waltz says the hack and iran's assassination plot against the former president last month are part of one big strategy. >> the trying to kill him and we know from the intelligence community iran does not want trump back, why, he held them accountable. you overlay that with how biden inheres had treated iran. iran knows that their sympathizers. >> intelligence experts that were talking to are warning us that all of this from iran is an opening bid iran and america's other enemies see the u.s.
7:20 am
election as a golden opportunity to try to interfere and get up to nefarious stuff. stuart: you got that right, gillian turner at the state department, thus bringing kt mcfarland. congressman mike waltz you may have heard this. congressman mike waltz accuses the administration's donald trump, do you think there's any truth in that? >> i think there's a lot of truth in that. the administration the biden inheres a administration has been anti-israel pro-iran from the very beginning like the obama administration. any criticism of iran are made whether they seem to disappear, what worries me a lot more is kamala harris foreign policy advisor. he is someone who is embroiled in the iran influence peddling operation. there were a number of u.s. government officials and the biden administration who now been uncovered to cooperate with
7:21 am
iranian government writing anti-israel pro-iran editorials trying to sway american public opinion. the vice president foreign policy advisor is one of those people. it all there is a lot more scrutiny, what is the connection why are they so soft on iran and particularly why do they hate israel so much. >> a question iran is on the verge of launching another direct attack on israel. his war inevitable? >> i don't think it's inevitable but the biden harris policies, i guess because she's in charge they make it much more likely because first of all they enrich and enabled iran by dropping the sanctions by lowering and raising the oil prices that iran got rich and then they soft peddled every criticism of iran so they embolden iran. as a result israel is now facing work on three or four fronts you not only the west bank but hamas
7:22 am
on the western side of israel and hezbollah from the north end of houthis from the red sea golf area. iran is behind all of this they are the moneyman and i think iran looks at the american election season as open season and trying to influence the american election. stuart: we have a development on venezuela the wall street journal reports the u.s. is secretly offering amnesty to venezuela maduro if he gives up power. what do you make of that? >> on the surface and makes you mad because here is maduro is so corrupt and so incompetent and responsible for the complete failure of his country. you want to punish him and make sure he pays the price. a guy like maduro is a dictator and what we see in the history of dictators hundreds of thousands of years they never want to leave power because they're afraid of what happens after daily power read will they
7:23 am
be assassinated are they going to be held accountable. whether the balkans war, world war i germany, whether it's world war ii. they don't want to leave power even though the facing certain defeat on the battlefield or the economic front. it makes a little bit a practical sense if venezuela can get rid of maduro peacefully without having to resort to violence and get him out of there and he can go live, wherever he goes and lives, as long as he goes in the country has a possibility and the prospect of peace and prosperity which is what happened before maduro cayman. stuart: let's turn to ukraine and russia. ukraine says they've taken 28 terns inside of russia and they evacuated more than 180,000 civilians. is this a real turning point? it may be leverage for a cease-fire, what do you think?
7:24 am
>> i think that's a very good point the leverage for the cease-fire. ukraine is a smaller country with limited people, limited resources russia's own limited resources and population to fight the war and unlimited patients to fight this war. ukraine has shaken us up and that's a very good thing. at the end of the day it's good to be negotiations that settle this and maybe ukraine is in a better position for negotiations. what worries me the biden here's a administration does not want negotiations they told ukraine keep fighting, keep fighting we have to punish russia. winning is very unlikely and probably impossible because of the reasons i just said it's a war of attrition. if this is a good move and they moved to negotiations. >> foreign policy is not the biden here strong suit that is a fact. thank you for being with us. we appreciate always. jd vance wants a new international order so china can
7:25 am
be kept in check. what exactly does vance want to do here? >> good morning vance says the only way china will listen to the u.s. demand on trade and the production of fentanyl and other issues is to make the consequences very clear. here's what he told cbs on "face the nation". >> do you view china as a competitor or an adversary? >> i think they're both. what we want to do is build the international order where we can check china. we don't want to go to war but certainly there an adversary in the chinese know that their manufacturing tons of fentanyl, they're letting it come into our country. kamala harris has done nothing about this. she should apply diplomatic and economic leverage over the chinese to stop manufacturing the fentanyl which comes in to the mexican drug cartels that ship into a country. >> vance accuses, the here's and the biden administration of
7:26 am
being too frightened to use our economic power to stop the flow of fentanyl across the southern border. stuart: thank you very much, from controversy at the olympics opening ceremony to celebrations at the end. tom cruise repelled into the ceremony with a skydiving stunt. greg palkot will give us a full recap of the games including the metal counts. meanwhile planned parenthood is getting sued for medical malpractice by people that want to reverse their gender transitions. karol markowicz has a story next. ♪ everywhere but the seat. the seat is leather. alan, we get it. you love your bike. we do, too. that's why we're america's number-one motorcycle insurer. but do you have to wedge it into everything? what? i don't do that. this reminds me of my bike. the wolf was about the size of my new motorcycle. have you seen it, by the way? happy birthday, grandma!

7:34 am
gender malpractice. karol markowicz joins us. it's rather complicated, take us to the whole thing. >> the free press reported a few days ago that planned parenthood has really gotten into the business of transitioning people from one gender to another and several people who were transition that planned parenthood are now suing them they were troubled 18 euros i came to planned parenthood saying i'm having gender dysphoria and planned parenthood prescribed them a cocktail of drugs that reported to change their gender. these people are very unhappy with the results some of them are really suffering and what's going on, this is our tax dollars that go to fund this. planned parenthood receives a large amount of money from the federal government. millions and millions of dollars and this is our money going to fund the troubled teens and one of them was 18 years old getting this kind of treatment. i think we need to put a stop to
7:35 am
it and defunding planned parenthood is an easy call. i don't know why we need to support this kind of thing in the first place. here we are. >> i would expect a few lawsuits of the transition process has not gone well shall we say or not worked at all shall we say, you can expect or lawsuits like this. >> absolutely. i think this is the beginning of a large wave of lawsuits but we see it in the last few years and troubled 18-year-old suffering from mental illness or other problems comes to a clinic and says i want to be the opposite gender. i don't feel like the gender i was born into and they get these drugs that harm them and 18 years old, we say it's an adult but in 180 cannot rent a car, cannot gamble in vegas cannot buy alcohol. a lot of 18-year-old cannot do this because we realize they're not quite an adult. we have a situation where they're being treated like an adult and can make their own decisions and they might make catastrophic decisions for
7:36 am
themselves. i think the lawsuits will be very common going forward. stuart: you follow the education system very closely. i noticed that kamala harris spoke to teachers in las vegas over the weekend. i will i've been teaching in clark county for 24 years. i'm a mother of three beautiful adult children and they are all teachers like me. growing up i knew i wanted to be a teacher because i saw education for what it really was the greatest instrument of social justice in this country. stuart: the greatest influence on social justice in this country. carol is that whatever public schools should be teaching, indoctrinating children with
7:37 am
politics turning a generation of activist, that's what it looks like. >> that's absolutely what it is rooted want people listening to understand this is one teacher among millions throughout the country who is doing this kind of thing in the classroom. as you know i moved to florida partly because of this kind of thing being pushed in new york schools. you have to say no and say this is not acceptable and i will not allow my child to become your activist for social justice. in our book stolen youth we laid out all the different ways that teachers push this agenda to students. the real problem give a special interest in the form of teachers unions in the pockets of the democratic politicians like joe biden and kamala harris and they get the early invitations to the white house and promoted in every way and they get to do whatever they want with our children. we need a strong governor like governor ron desantis to say absolutely not we will not stand for it and pass laws saying the teachers cannot implement their

7:51 am
my question, you heard that, who do you think is a real danger to democracy? >> i think it's a danger to democracy when you folks telling folks to view don't vote for the person i want you to vote for we lose our democracy. it's rather ironic. it's an argument that is incredibly nebulous and hard to argue against because it's such hyperbole into setback into here it nonstop. if you're an american who is getting a casual understanding of the news and maybe you could expose 30 minutes a day and you're getting hit with the message over and over again you might start to believe it. i don't think either are threats to democracy and that we will have a government or another election at the end of this. i think one is worse for the country than the other and i think the one who is worse is kamala harris. stuart: i want to know who's in charge, the president looks frail he is halting and i'm not sure he's making the decisions.
7:52 am
i think that is a threat to democracy, who's calling the shots? >> that's a good question. only if we had a vice president who is willing to do a press conference and answer tough questions that might be asked of her. you have to imagine she's taking more of a role in the day today at the white house but i don't think she's the one calling all the shots. i think it's fair and reasonable to look at the president and say something is obviously not there and is not really in charge. even if you're a democrat you should demand an answer to the basic question you elected a guy to run this country and now it appears that is being pushed aside. who exactly is running the country is a question to answer. >> nancy pelosi doubts whether biden wrote the letter he sent last month insisting he was firmly committed to staying in the race. roll tape. >> i did not accept a letter as anything but a letter. there are some people unhappy with the letter.
7:53 am
