>> october time period and heading into the election and hope for that november december bounce. >> he's messing up her message and right now turn the page to

meet. >> 4.1% inflation and bragging about 3% and the aggregate and devastating on every single thing. >> i don't know if it's an oversight and i think that they are here and going for people and going for america and i think we're arguing the fact for possession. going on the line. stuart: okay, good morning, everyone. it is 11:30 0 eastern time -- 11:00 eastern time. wednesday, september 4. take a look at the markets.

the dow is up 200 points and s&p up 19 and nasdaq up 69 after losing 3% yesterday and not much of a rebound so far. but show the big tech. these are is to bees that took it on the chin yesterday. modest bounce back for nvidia, slightly. alphabet, microsoft, they're up slightly. amazon, apple still down. let's have a closer look at nvidia, that has indeed turned around and down 7% yesterday and down 2% early this morning and now up 1.5%. at $109 per share. the dip buyer haves come back but not in force. let's see how this day progresses. >> 3.79%. stuart: 1960s, college campuses

in turmoil over the war in vietnam. college campuses in turmoil over the war in gaza. there's a difference between then and now. in the '60s, students were aimed at rightly or wrongly about actions of their government in vietnam. today and it's focused on jews. let's be honest, that's happening on campuses today and that's much more dangerous. at columbia university, jewish students have been spat on, shoved up against the wall, excluded from campus life. they have to listen to endless chanting from the hamas crowd. it's not free speech, it is deliberate intimidation. what would you think would happen if muslim students or black students were subject to this kind of persecution? for jewish students, it's different. isn't it? in par, it's the fault of faculty members that believe israel has no right to exist and fault of the public schools that insist of teaching black and brown people are oppressed and slaughtering israelis,

oppressors, is somehow legitimate and astonishing in the heart of formally great university, columbia, there's people that actively support a terrorist group, hamas. 1960s divided college kids for the vietnam war and divide between terror supporters gene jews and writ large and more like germany in the 1930s and just as dangerous. third hour of varney starts now. stuart: martha maccallum with me this wednesday morning. why are they not doing much about anti-semitism? >> there's a weakness in executive offices all across the country and they're terrified of donors, they're terrified of their own students. they're terrified of making a

strong stance and standing up -- this is new leadership now. the former president is gone from columbia, and they had a moment to turn the page. i listened to a student this morning, and she was saying they're constantly putting out e-mails and memos talking about how they protect jewish students on campus, but she said they're just empty words because they're not acting on them. words are meaningless, actions are the only thing that count in this situation. wouldn't it be so inspiring to see faculty and leadership make -- you know, stand out there as well. and say make way for these jewish students, much like you saw back in the desegregation of black white school during the crow laws. to say, no, we're americans and we stand here. everyone has a right to go to class in peace and safety. you're entitled to your opinion on what's going on. but these students will not be

intimidated this girl had to close her window on the second floor hearing it all day long strioing to study. stuart: everybody across the state that university coming together and support them. >> they don't feel that way. that's the only conclusion we can draw. stuart: change the subject and get to campaign. polling shows 45% of voters prefers trump's economic policies over harris. can harris turn the tables? and make the opportunity economy, she calls it, her strong suit to beat trump on the economy? can she do that? >> that would be pretty interesting, wouldn't it? you know, this has been an anti-corporate, antibusiness administration. they've raised regulations and doug burgum in north dakota and the changes of the biden industry and how onerous it was to get anything done and project

moving and there's an opening here and i think unfortunately so many people don't pay attention to the details. and they're going on gut feeling. younger candidate and attractive younger candidate and a person that does have experience as vice president and saying i think that it's going to be very interesting to see whether people vote by their gut or their pocketbook. trump will have to be the person that puts her feet to the fire on these issues and will have to be specific and ready if he's going to succeed at that. stuart: they'll be pushing hard on this. will they? we don't know. we'll wait and see. >> it's incumbent on the two

candidates and moderates neutral and shouldn't be helping anyone and have to ask the questions that need to be asked to put them out there. otherwise it'll fall on trump to say wait a minute, what about this. we'll see. stuart: they'll lose the credibility. thank you, martha. we're watching you on the story, 3:00 p.m. eastern fox news. thanks, marsha. check that market, please. we have something on a rebound certainly for the dow industrials. now we're up 200 points. and these are the, i've got the home builders and go to the markets please, dow up 200 and s&p up 19 and the nasdaq is up 77. something of a rebound but by no mean as total rebound from yesterday. mark tepper joining me for the hour today. are we getting a bounce back in august? the market sold off badly and bounced back by the end of the month. >>metrially.

it all depends on that jobs number and it's good. coming in above 165,000 and then i think the fed only cuts 25 basis points at end of the month, and i think investors will embrace that and they'll celebrate that and the bull market will remain in tact. if the jobs number disappoints below 165, the fed cuts by 50 basis points in which case investors will go in panic mode and selloff will begin because they think a recession is coming and that's when you go back to historical arranges and see that from the time of the first rate cut over the course of the next 12 months, market is down 23%. i hope that's not the case. i hope the number comes in good, so we only get a 2525 basis point cut. >> the numbers are key. >> without a doubt. stuart: dips in nvidia. there's some dip buying above a 50 at 109. on the tech names, there's dip buying there.

>> i added to my position and would do that on meaningful pullbacks and nvidia down almost 10% and that happens and that separates the men from the boys. that's when the market becomes very difficult for a lot of people to understand, and you either have conviction in your best ideas and you add to them on pullbacks, or you panic and you sell. stuart: got to be strong. >> you do. stuart: catch a 2358ing knife as they say. >>-- catch a falling knife. >> exactly. stuart: stabilize at 108 and go to 109. see how the day ends. ashley, take a look at advanced micro-devices and up a solid 4%. ashley: yes, amd and chip maker up big this morning after announcing they're hiring former nvidia executive keith strioa

day after analyst said the gap between amd and nvidia, they say it's shrinking. that stock up 4.25%. take a look at lyft, the ride people. they're up today after announcing plans to restructure their business and also going to lay off 1% of staff. lyft would stop offering stand alone dockless bikes and scooters. i don't know how many will use them and not offering them anymore. lyft up 2.5% and dollar tree headed for the worst day on record and after they cut their full day forecast and consumers will remain "caution". i think that's true when spending. dollar tree down nearly 20%. stu. stuart: ouch, thanks, ash. coming up, trump campaign is engaging with the media and largest day for harris and which approach is working. jewish students at columbia criticizing the university for not doing enough to stop anti-semitism on campus.

>> i say that anti-semitism has not been eradicated from the university and administration turned a behind eye to it, i'm just appalled. stuart: we are not going to let this story go away. and the irs has a new job opening that pace up to $200,000 a year. it's for a dei specialist. i know that pete hegseth has got something to say about that. pete is next. ♪

white house. mark, we know harris supported reparations in the past, but has she mention it had on the campaign trail -- mentioned it on the campaign trail recently? reporter: it hasn't come up, stu, but the reparations ensure that black americans today receive financial support because previous generations endured slavery and remain as hot button issue and there's pro reparation advocates that think vice president harris should keep the issue front and center. the washington post wrote a piece saying they hope the democratic nominee address this issue head on especially after making these comments back in 2019. >> discussing what reparations are. reporter: it's not a major issue in the race right now, but the idea of reparations came up at a meeting not far from the dnc last month in chicago when we heard from congresswoman barbara lee saying the idea of reparations is long overdue. >> we have to support

reparations, i have a troop commission i'm trying to set up called the troop reparation transformation and now is the time to speak truth to power. reporter: the legislation never made it too far up on the hill and former president trump, he was asked about all this many years ago back in 2019 and he told the hill, he said "i don't see it happening". stu. stuart: mark meredith, thank you very much. now this, the irs is hiring a diversity, equity, and inclusion specialist who could make nearly $200,000 a year. that by the way is three times the national average income. pete hegseth with me this morning. pete, how do you feel about your tax dollars paying a dei expert's salary? i have a pretty good idea where you stand on this, but go ahead. little us know.

>> this is one tiny corner of the federal government and paying for hundreds of thousands of dei specialists in the military. this isn't just one job in the irs, that posting is for kevin it's not very inclusive because you can't have it if you're illegal or undocumented or newcomer and have to prove you're a u.s. citizen. democrats don't want you to prove you're a u.s. citizen to vote and prove you're a citizen for this position at irs where their job is to, i don't know, maintain the tax code. it's everywhere, stuart. you look at every department, there's overpaid, underqualified dei specialists that are wrecking the requirement in those places by turning employees against each other. stuart: countless corporations getting rid of dei and lots of private enterprise getting rid of it and i suspect that it will not be removed from government.

>> they're getting into dei prerogatives and say we're not doing it across the federal government. you're the executive, you can do a lot of that. let's hope. stuart: let's hope indeed. students at columbia restarted pro hamas protesting and intimidation of jewish classmates. >> how has columbia handled the protest? university president gone and deans gone s. that enough? >> terribly, that would be an understatement. i have to go to a dei session on anti-semitism and islam phobia this past week, and instead of actually educating us about both of those social ails, the instructor then decided to go on anti-semitic tirade and when i say anti-semitism has not been eradicated from the university and administration turned a blind eye, i'm appalled. stuart: anti-semitism on campus is not going away. what should columbia be doing

about this? >> well, stop letting children run the joint and show real courageous leadership and spend for real that students that deface property on statues and disrupt over kids from going to class and commit actual crimes. anyone outside preventing kids from getting in should be arrested by the nypd and it's really easy to take an adult approach. instead, you can't expect columbia to do it and why are they holding sessions and sessions of anti-semitism and islam phobia and they're outside harassing jewish students fundamentally unserious and lost their minds and they coddle kids and get chaos. don't send kids to columbia and it's probably the bottom line here. no, it's not going to change. it'll be bad. stuart: what would happen, do you think, if muslim students were being intimidated like this or black students and people would be in prison by now, wouldn't they?

>> oh, be like january 6th level investigations involving the fbi and looks like extremism stand downs all over the military in the federal government. this is exclusive to one group. and they tolerate it. stuart: exactly. >> that tells you a lot. stuart: does indeed. i don't quite understand this story and i will give it to you and see what you think. fake political ads featuring kamala harris for eagles gear popping up in the city of the weekend ask one fan covering them up with printouts of the team's official statement calling it a counterfeit ad. watch this. >> i'm prepared to go to every signing if the philadelphia eagles intercept it and i understand they're independent ad agency refuses to remove the sign. they're placed strategically in university areas that are heavily traveled. stuart: pete, what do you think of this? i don't know much about football. >> at least count on joe from

south philly in usa shirt otostep -- to step in and explain it and philadelphia eagles fans not always known as smart estefans in the nfl, stuart. little rough around the edges. little rough around the edges so, you know, they've got a prison in their stadium is what it used to be. a little maybe they think they can easily be duped. i think eagles fans are smart, stuart. those are stereotypes and they're not going to see this and they'll see through this. it's nonsense and it won't work. going to backlash. stuart: glad you covered this story because i'm at sea on this completely. pete hegseth, you sir are all right. thank you, for coming by. >> thank you, stuart. stuart: football season kicks off officially tomorrow by the way. expected to bring in record breaking betting. ashley, how much money are we talking about here? ashley: a lot. nfl fans expected to wager record breaking $35 billion with

a b, dollars this season. that's according to the american gaming association and that represents more than a 30% growth from last season. since last nfl season, maine, north carolina and vermont all allowed sports betting in the state and decision ands allowed hard rock international to re-allow sports betting in florida. it's live and legal today in 38 states from washington dc. by the way, more than 95% of sports wagers happen online, especially those micro-betting where wages are made on specific plays as the game unfolds. meantime, also bet the nfl will continue to harness the power of taylor swift to boost the league and new hype video with the upcoming season and swift five times and more than football stars like jets qb era and rodgers and anthony richard son

and swift's presence boosted nfl viewership by 53% in the 12-17-year-old demographic. female viewership from last year super bowl was up 9% before from the year before. there's been a bit of pushback, stu, from fans who say we're more interested in football than taylor swift. but the nfl will milk that as long as they can. stuart: increase in viewership like that, i'm not surprised. thanks, ash. tepper, you're good on sports. >> i'm disciplined and not reckless and quit doing fantasy football seven, eight years ago and staying engaged throughout the week and gives me a little extra dopamine hit when my team wins and i get a bit of extra money. i tell you, the easy access that want to be betters now have available through draft kings or facebook fanduel or thumb based apps and what that's doing is bringing in more novice betters

and more profitable and one thing these novice betters do is succumb to what's known as sucker bets. that is parlays and teasers and, you know, just like ashley said, those micro-bets that are incredibly profitable for the house, not very profitable for the gamblers. stuart: you don't touch them? >> no way. not at all. straight up. stuart: all right, thanks very much, mark. i'll remember that. coming up, harris campaign isn't just focused on presidential election and they're spending millions to help vulnerable down ballot candidates. we'll break down the numbers for you. massachusetts republicans called veteran john deeton to take on elizabeth warren in november. we have more for the boston globe and see realistic path for dayton to beat warren? tough question, i'll ask her next. ♪

not much movement in s&p and virtually unchanged and down a fraction and good stuff. >> largest food dribbler out there and not the tech company. great company and they're already the biggest and one of the great thins they're doing and they're gaining market share while also growing margins and very rare for any company and just proof they have quite a bit of pricing power and main growth initiatives for these guys moving forward is the food away from home market. not just restaurants and hotels and more people using door dash and uber eats and stuff, you need the packages the food goes in and plastic wear and napkins and straws and all that stuff. they're the largest player in that challenge girari.

>> that's giving them very low risk, high margin growth for at least the next 10+ years and they're using that to fund new initiatives so two big new initiatives they're getting into and number one is non-opioid pain therapy so nonaddictive. and the other is auto immune kidney disease. potential for those two, both in phase three right now and seeing good upside from here. stuart: you own it, where's it going? >> this one has about 20% upside over the course of the rest of the year. stuart: okay. that would be nice. over the rest of this year. >> yep. stuart: okay. mark, thanks very much indeed. harris campaign is distributing millions of dollars to try and win more down ballot democrat races. ashley, how much money? ashley: 25 million and that's how much the harris campaign and democratic national committee giving to congressional and state level campaigns and democrat haves an uphill bat toll win the senate where the

party currently has the slimmest of majorities. in the house around 22 seats are seen as toss ups and democrats do expect to lose senator joe mansion's west virginia seat after he announced he wasn't running, but analysts rank michigan, montana, and ohio senate seats as toss ups. some senate democrats are now embracing the harris walz ticket after trying to distance themselves when biden was running. stuart: the trump ticket got a 35 interviews and harris or walz did one interview. i'm joined now. which strategy works: basement strategy for kamala harris or get out there anywhere, any time interviews for jd vance? which is working? >> getting out there is a good thing. it's what the voters deserve to hear policies and arcticlated

but that doesn't mean it necessarily works to get people to the ballot box. kamala harris campaign is curate ago vibe and signals to voters and that's how they make their decision at the end of the day. use signals like party but persona and casting herself as a moderate, it's working for some; right? the swing states are tightening and races are tightening. stuart: no reason to come out of the basement. >> more ammo for the other side and what the trump vance campaign could be doing better, you don't have to be whining or -- not that they're complaining about it but they're doing the hard work, but point out like if she's not going to give awes record, look at actual record, the biden administration, you know. instead of talking about basement campaign 2.0. >> voters are looking forward to that and i'm looking forward to how they handle particular pointed questions. stuart: ratings astronomical and might be the only debate. might be the only one.

marine corp. veteran named john deeton and won the republican primary in massachusetts, your state. he'll challenge senator elizabeth warren in november. is there any chance that he'll beat warren? >> well, there's always a chance. is it likely snow valley no. i mean, massachusetts is as blue as it gets. we have a blue congressional delegation and a pretty blue state legislature so taxpayers a steep uphill battle, but what i'm really looking forward to, they have two debates planned. he's calling for five issue by issue so one on abortion, one on economics, et cetera. id love to see him challenge her on economic policy. he's a successful businessman. elizabeth warren is all about regulation, taxation. challenge her on that. massachusetts is an expensive state. there's a lot of red tape, and i'm sure some people are looking for different answers to the economic problems in the state. stuart: stuart: very slim that

dayton wins? >> slim. stuart: or none. i shouldn't cast people out. who knows. massachusetts may come to its senses and no longer want a socialist senator. >> he's an interesting guy. he has an interesting profile. stuart: give you a opportunity there but didn't take it. thank you for joining us and see you again soon. >> thank you. stuart: peter doocy presses the white house on why president biden puts more pressure on netanyahu than hamas. >> president has been very, very clear about hamas leaders and what they've done. hamas is responsible. they have more american blood on their hands. stuart: okay. congressman darryll issa will take that on. first, southern boarder and owner of a gun store seven minutes from the border says the migrant crisis is fuel ago new wave of customers. he says how locals are feeling about the migrants is obvious. that's next.

do you see mig migrants in your community and seen as a threat, gary? >> not really a threat here but drive going through. our governor having buses come in and load them up and take them east. we don't see them. for awhile there they were coming in and walking past the store going up on avenue f where the bus stop was and taking buses there. but now the state of texas is loading them up and moving them out of texas. stuart: okay. if you've got a surge in gun sales at your store, who's buying? >> yes, in the last three years, it really interesting how the trend has changed from men to women, a lot of women are asking about handguns and out on the street and know they'll confront me and need to come by and visit and get a gun, lot of first time

buyers and fathers coming in and getting pistols for kids going to college and on the road travel ago lot. going to bigger cities and del rio is safe and there's a lot of law enforcement here and having migrants under the bridge and they were just coming over 2, 3,000 a day and governor abbott sent dps down and stop it within two hours. that kind of stopped and now they're all moving out of eagle pass up to arizona and new mexico border crossing out there. stuart: people buying guns and especially the women and do they say to you they're defending ourselves and personal or defending property? >> a lot for themselves and property, they feel safe in their homes but they still are pretty scary and they're going with most of the people traveling to san antonio and going into the malls and shopping centers and stuff and

they're going on and most probably from personal protection stuart: gary humphrys, thank you for telling us how it is. see you again soon, gary. >> thank you. stuart: taking care of migrants cost some cities literally millions of dollars. all right, ashley, what's the federal government doing about this? ashley: spending more money. waiting for it and paying $380 million that will be given to nonprofessors and local governments to cover some of those costs and associated of taking care of migrants and released by the department of homeland security and southern boarder and it's not cheap and the southern services program provides support for migrants by offering food, shelter, medical and clothing and transportation while they wait on their immigration court cases and the latest round of money comes just four months after agency hands

out another $259 million in grants being the total this year for nearly $640 million and staggering stat comes from the study by the federation for american immigration reform and estimates that the next cost of illegal immigration for the united states and federal state and local levels totaled $150 billion at sort of 2023. stuart: staggering. enormous amount of money. thanks issue ashley. time to show you the dow 30 and sense of the market. even slit in the green and red. the dow is now up 78 points just over 41,000. attacking visit to arlington cemetery and disrespectful and political stunt and gold star family members are coming to trump's defense. roll it.

the west bank. as the israelis expand their raid there, we do know that there's a lot of activity along the northern border in israel and lebanon and more than 60 rockets being fired by iran-backed group hezbollah and in northern israel see that some of the fire was intercepted by the zeldon reel military defense system and iron dome and no serious injures were reported and one building was damaged and the event was another example of how iranian proxies against israel and going against the proxies like hezbollah and announcing fighter jets with the multiple position in southern lebanon and coming in the north going after positions inside gaza and and going for the department of justice announcing charges against six hamas defendants linked to october 7 massacre.
