maria: welcome back. let's get some final words here. caroline, your thoughts. >> maria, the bomb line is that it's ludicrous that kamala harris gained so much momentum despite never winning a primary, despite never laying out a clear policy platform. however, i think her team is frustrated a because they've maxed out positive press coverage. we saw that the with the oprah went friday interview, and yet she's still in a dead tie with trump, and the answer, i think, is the economy because the nostalgia is so strong. maria: yeah. cheryl. >> really quick, high prices, 39%. fox news poll, that is number one. maria: john lonski, great to see you. thank you for being here. caroline downey and cheryl, as always, have a great weekend, everybody. "varney & company"ices it up. stu, take it -- picks it up. stu, take it away.

stuart: good morning, everyone. no big selloff after yesterday's huge gain. we done know what happens by the close of trading today, but in the early going this morning, just fractional losses. the dow may be up again, up 18, 202 points, fractional loss for the -- 20 points, down 6 for the nasdaq which was up 2.5% yesterday. bitcoin moving up, 63,000 and change. gold staying at record highs. we're looking at $22, 640 -- 2,640 this morning. the 10-year treasure i at 3.73 and the 2-year at 3.61. let's get to politics. there's a lot going on. kamala harris and oprah winfrey held a live streaming e is vent. there were tears, plenty of emotion but no firm answers on what harris would do on the border or how she would bring prices down. harris has a very hard time expressing herself clearly.

oprah tried to bail her out, or didn't quite work. donald trump has embarked on yet another financial planful he's talking about limiting credit card interest to 10%. no tax on tip, no tax on social security benefits, no tax on overtime, bring back the deduction for state and local taxes and now a cap on credit card interest. seems like a vote-buying contest, doesn't it? president biden holds a cabinet meeting at the white house today. it's the first in 1911 months. -- 111 months. when's been running the country $is 11 months. later she meets world lead leaders at his beach house in delaware, not the white house. he wants the personal touch. israel launches attacks in lebanon following up after exploding devices killed and injured thousands. the big question, will israel launch a ground invasion? the biden administration urging restraint, our defense secretary has canceled a planned visit. and we will bring you harry and meghan desperately trying to

stay relevant. they're sending out personal letters earn -- urging people to vote. it's a veiled endorsement to kamala harris. the last time they openly disparaged trump, trump threatened to throw harry out of the country. on this friday, september 20th, 2024, yeah, we do cover it all. "varney & company" is about to begin. ♪ ♪ if i had a million dollars -- ♪ i'd build a tree fort ♪ stuart: this is what i dreamed about when i first came to america. lauren: how long did it take? stuart: i'm not answering that question. [laughter] lauren: heard of the song. stuart: i like the song. that's sixth avenue. we haven't talked about that for a long time, still virtually deserted, and it's friday. lauren: more deserted today to. stuart: that's very true. new fox polls on what's driving

voters or the to the ballot box. this is very important stuff for the election. lauren, what have we got? lauren: 66 call grocery prices a major problem or, 60% say the same for housing. 48% for gasoline. so that covers the basics, the kitchen table issues. but they've grown more important to voters since may as both candidates try to convince you that their plans can bring prices down. flip it. this fox poll, harris won the debate. 30% of voters gave her an a, 18% said trump got an a. average it out, i guess they both get a c can. i'm trying to bottom line this. i think you can see if they both get a c, the debate didn't move the immediate needle for either -- needle for either side. they're still trying to bring in new voters and the independents, convince them one way or the other. stuart: i think that's a valid

judgment to the debate result, yeah. lauren: even if you think harris did better, it didn't move the needle. stuart: thanks, lauren. sean duffy with me now. the economy the biggest issue for voters, so my question is, why isn't trump running away with this thing? >> yeah, it's a good question. but, again, so donald trump does well in the polling over kamala harris by i think it was 5 points in the fox polling, so he's a winner there, and he should be, but i think democrats have done a really good job of saying, you know what? don't focus on the economy, we should focus on abortion or that donald trump's a threat to democracy. and because of those the issues, you have to reconsider your vote. the problem with that strategy, stuart, is when people do go to the grocery store, when they are looking at their rent prices or the home prices or insurance on their cars, that's a problem. and, again, or when you're in pain many in your pocketbook, you want different solutions from your leaders. and the problem, kamala harris hasn't laid out any strategy on how she would do anything

different than what you've got for the last three and a half years with joe biden and kamala harris. so, again, i think it's still early. again, if i could make one last point on the polling, we've gone from, you know, conventions to assassination if attempts, to, i mean, joe biden's in, joe biden's out. this has moved so quickly, i don't think people have had enough time to process these two candidates and their policies. and i think they'll take the time to do this before they vote, but right now i don't think they've had an opportunity to do it because this cycle has moved so fast. stuart: the it really -- i've never seen anything like it. i've been covering presidentialing elections for a very long time, and i can't remember anything like this at all. listen to what biden had to say about inflation. >> as you all know, inflation was 9.1% in the united states. today it's much closer to 2%. that doesn't mean our work is done. far from it. far from it. no one should confuse why i'm here. i'm not here to take a victory

lap. i'm not here to say job well done. i'm not here to say we don't have a hell of a lot more work to do. we do have more work to do. stuart: basically, sean, he is pitching harris as the better candidate on inflation. i just don't think voters will buy that, do you? >> the the audacity of that man to stand up and even talk about victory with regard to inflation. our prices are up over 2020% since -- 20% since this man took office. it's outrageous that he would say anything about inflation and if with victory in regard to these speeches. and, again, i don't think a guy who's polling at, what, 41% i think in the fox poll, 40% approval to 44% approval, no one likes him because of what he's done to their pocketbooks. if he's your pip man for -- pitch man for kamala, you have real problems. and that will be the driving force behind this election which

is why i think donald trump has an edge in places like arizona, nevada, michigan, wisconsin. he's doing well solely because of the economy. stuart: you've got it right. sean duffy, thanks a lot. have a great weekend. thank you, sean. >> thank you, stuart. you too. stuart: better get to the markets after yesterday's stellar performance, a huge rally. this morning not much of a selloff, not much of a comeback. dow off maybe 30 at the opening bell, nasdaq down 50- odd points. kenny polcari with me. you're telling investors not to get caught up in the excitement of the post-rate cut rally. all right. so, tell our viewers, how do you play this thing? if. >> you play it the way i've always been playing it. you have a plan and you stick to the it. you can't let your emotions, don't feel like you're being fomo-ized, like you missed it. a lot of people felt very, very nervous on august 5th when the place felt like it was falling apart, and look where we are todayed the. so it's a matter of maintaining plan. that's all. don't get, don't get, you know,

too emotional when the market goes up and certainly don't get too emotional when it goes down. you have to stick to the plan, it's the way you play this. stuart: why don't i sell system of my high-tech stocks and pay a long-term capital gain of 202% instead of waiting until next year when i'll pay a capital gain of a maybe 28%. >> okay, so someone like you may, in fact, choose to do that because rates are going to go up next year. maybe you're going to look at your portfolio and peel a little bit off the top, take some out, for sure, yes. but if you're with talking to to someone who's 40 or 45 years old, there's no reason to do that. stuart: good point. >> they're not going to the sell it next year even if the rates go up. stuart: that's a very good point, kenny. donald trump has proposed a temporary cap on credit card interest rates. of he's suggested the cap be at 10%. i know it's off the market here, but what do you make of that, kenny? >> so, listen, it's interesting.

credit card rates are 25, 28, 29% depending on where your credit score is, so they are injurious, but look, those credit card companies provide a service. if trump tries to cap their rates at 10%, they're going to hold back and say, okay, we're going to give stuart less credit, right? so he goes to to use his card and suddenly it doesn't work anymore, or they're going to raise rates in other ways to make up for what they're doing. so do i agree that those rates are too high? yes. but i also understand that they provide a service for people that need it. so, you know, there's a give and take there. i'm not sure that cap on 10% is really going to work very well at all. stuart: it might if work as a vote buyer, but working in reality -- >> right. that's about it. yeah or or that's about it. stuart: have a great weekend. >> you as well. stuart: thanks a lot. later this morning president biden will hold a cabinet meeting. wait a minute. how long since his last onesome. lauren: nearly a year, the last full cabinet meeting was october 2nd of 2023, during the shutdown

talks. so today the president, the vice president, kamala harris, participating remotely and the heads of the departments will meet. why? three things. my opinion here, this is all ant biden's legacy, the -- about biden's legacy, the promises kept idea. let's finish the job that he started. two, fear. if hearst doesn't win, their agenda is kaput -- harris. is and the third one, it's a strategy. one way to prevent the agenda from getting undone is to dole out there's a remaining $1 trillion left from the three landmark pieces of legislation that he pushed through. if you can get that money out particularly to the red states, it are make it very uncomfortable for lawmakers to try to claw back. stuart: that's right. they've got all this money -- lauren: one final point, because you don't hear much from bind. this would be his 11th cabinet meeting. guess how many trump a had? 23. stuart: tells the story. who's been running the country for the last 111 months? lauren: i can't figure that out. stuart stor thank, lauren.

trump proposed mass deportations of illegal migrants if he's elected. janet yellen pushing back on that. roll it. >> i think it would raise inflation. the influx of workers into the labor market is something that's helped to bring down inflation and create a lot of jobs. stuart: well, that's a good question, would deportations really bring on inflation? we're going to get into it. kamala harris, a huge fan of school buses. remember this? >> who doesn't love a yellow school bus, right? can you raise your hand if you love a yellow school bus, right? stuart: okay. but a scathing report shows her clean bus project helps the chinese communist party or and you, the taxpayer, paid for it. new york congressman mike lawler on that next. ♪ have mercy ♪

stuart: all right, a little bit of red ink, but we had a lot of green yesterday, didn't we? nasdaq's down 60. biden is hosting the leaders of australia, japan and india tomorrow at his home in wilmington, delaware. lucas tomlinson is there. lucas, why are they meeting at biden's home and not the white house? >> reporter: well,, stuart, good morning. with the u.n. general, assembly meeting next week in new york, these world leaders are in town, and president biden wants to the show off his hometown of wilmington, delaware. he's hosting these leaders at his house and former high school. this comes as china is rapid hi building up forces. in fact, china wants nuclear

weapons parity with the united states, and that could happen by the end of this decade. that's why these leaders are here, stuart the, they're worried about china. here's john kirby at the white house previewing the visit. >> when you get together with these particular leaders, the indo-pacific if quad where you have, in fact, it would be irresponsible if they didn't talk about the challenges that still exist in the region caused by aggressive prc military action, for instance, unfair trade practice, tension it's over the taiwan strait. i have no doubt that all those issues will come come up. >> reporter: kim be there using the acronym for china, prc. beefing up forces in the pacific, stuart, in president biden's first year in office, he announced a defense wynn with trail yarks part of that involved shelling -- selling up to five virginia class attack submarines. here's the problem, the u.s. navy's inventory short. it's supposed to have the 66 attack boats on the books,

instead, it only has 49. supporters of this agreement include the top republican on the senate armed services committee, senator roger wicker from mississippi, but wicker warns the u.s. must boost its own defend spending to the match china and a host of worldwide threats. wicker wants to see a reagan-style buildup spending up to 5% of the economy on defense including bolstering the submarine fleet which is one of the key advantages the u.s. navy still maintain it is over china. wicker warns china has 200 times the shipbuilding capacity as the u.s. right now. >> it's a great agreement, and what we need to do is put our money where our mouths are. but part one of the treaty says that we will do our part to bring australia along with two submarines in the very near future. we don't have the industrial

base right now to do that. >> reporter: and, stuart, if you wanted president biden or any of the world leaders to discuss this, you might be disappoint because no press conferences scheduled at all this weekend here in delaware. stuart: why am i not surprised? lucas, thank you very much, indeed. israel launched air attacks on israel in lebanon. they're following up on the exploding devices which killed and injured thousands of hezbollah people. now defense secretary lloyd austin is delaying his trip to israel are. new york congressman mike lawler with used the. why does this administration always seem to be to be playing defense, always urging restraint? >> you know, stuart, this administration has continually undermined israel throughout this conflict. from hopped holding weapons to the -- e -- withholding weapons to having leaders like chuck schumer calling for regime change in israel, the vice president saying not to the to go into rafah if despite the fact that americans are being

held hostage there, and i think, obviously, this is a continuation of that. their policy has made the middle east a tinder box. they have undermined israel's security, they have tried to the appease iran and by proxy its terror network. when you allow the illicit oil trade between china and iran to grow to over $so 0 billion -- $so 100 billion, that is funding hamas, hezbollah and the houthis. so when hezbollah has been continually launching rockets and attacks at israel since october 7th, israel has a right to defend itself and, obviously, sent a strong message to the terror the network the other day. and i think the united states needs to stand the firm and resolute in its support of israel and stop undermining them every ten of the way especially publicly. stuart: congressman, i'm going to change the subject completely. listen to this. we got a congressional report

that says harris' clean school bus project helps the chinese communist party. congressman, i think the main issue with this report and this program is how much it's costing the taxpayer and how little the taxpayer gets for it. what do you say? >> no question. and it's part and parcel because of the energy policy that this administration has put forth. yes, we want renewables. yes or or we want solar, we want wind, we want evs. but when you undermine america's energy, you know, platform and if portfolio, you create a reliance on foreign governments. the reality is if we want to manufacture, you know, electric buses, we should be doing that in america. we should not be relying on the chinese communist party or foreign governments. if we want to do that, that means we need rare earth minerals. we need to have a comprehensive

energy portfolio that, yes, includes renewal new,s, yes, focus on building electric vehicles but also includes natural gas. when you see what is happening around the globe, when you see europe purchasing it gas from from russia, china from purchasing -yard line -- -- that is what's happening around the globe. the united states should not be helping the chinese communist party the meet some, you know, electric vehicle mandates. stuart: fair point. congressman lawler, thanks very much sister joining us. >> thanks, stuart. stuart: the harris campaign says tim walz recently met with the families of hostages. what can you tell he? lauren: it was the first meeting for tim walz. he expressed sympathy and solidarity with them but, frankly, there's not much he can do about the hostages now. the ceasefire and hostage release negotiations are deadlock ared, and a pressure point for the ticket is that the uncommitted movement. that movement said her not endorsing the harris-walz ticket

going to see see is an acceleration in the overall ad revenue. they're doing $50 billion a year, this will add fuel to that fire and expand to the margins. fundamentally, we think the business is becoming more attractive. we like amazon, it's our top pick. stuart: meta, your new target price is 60000 -- 600 why are you doing that? >> so, stu, we kept our price targets on both met -- meta and on netflix. and i just want to step back. we're going through a big rally. over in the last kind of 18 months as we went from if interest rates that were surging in 202232 the that gutted tech socks and now we're well along the way the other way -- stocks. there's modest upside to names like netflix and meta. i like these folk ises, but -- stocks, but they're not back up the truck prices. thousand -- you want to be modest buyers. there's very few dislocations

across the tech stocks that the i look at. that's fine. these are more hold stocks now. these aren't aggressive buys. i think amazon is one of those, meta and netflix are fine, but they're small buys. stuart: so amazon is the one that's going to get us the best return probably. >> yes. stuart: mark, have a good weekend. >> you too, stuart. stuart: thank you, sir. we've got 30 seconds -- oh, that's a long time, an eternity in television,, actually. so we have the. clapping and cheering from the new york exchange and the nasdaq. any -- when you've got 10 seconds to go, you'll hear the bell ring. that's traditionally what happens. the bell will start to ring in 3,2, 1, now -- thank you. and in approximately 5 seconds, someone will, right-hand side, someone will come forward, press the button, that gentleman right in the middle of the screen, come on, come on, you can do it, thank you. the market is open on a friday

morning following up from a huge rally yesterday. how'd we open? well, the dow's off 70 points roughly, 60 to, 70 points. quite a bit of red ink amongst the dow 30. i do see 3, 6, 8, 9 winners in green, the rest mostly red. all right, look at the s&p 500, how has that opened? a fractional loss. down 8 points. that's nothing on a 5,670 concern 5,700 index. the nasdaq financial if 07 lower after a 2.5% gain yesterday. that's no selloff at all. big tech, one loser, and it just happens to be microsoft, 68 cents. apple up, 2300. amazon, 190. meta, 559. microsoft is down 5 if 3 sents. -- 53 cents. constellation energy and microsoft, what's this about restarting 3-mile island nuclear plant? lauren: this is one of the most

incredible stories. >> remember the big meltdown in 1979 -- stuart: i remember it, you don't. >> i remember reading a lot about it, and you'll tell me about it in the next commercial break. they shut it down in 2019 due to operational challenges. they are now saying with constellation emergency they're going to reopen that nuclear power plant because moth has made a -- microsoft has made a commitment to buy 100% of that energy for the next 20 years to help fuel the a.i. data center race. they need the energy, they're going to be able to use nuclear through constellation energy and 3-mile. this is pretty incredible. stuart: that's -- bill gates is bee -- behind that. he's big on nuclear power. >> and it's cleaner and faster. stuart: is it safe? if they'll tell you all about it, won't they? tabling a look at -- take a look at apple. the iphone 16 goes on sale today. >> i know. i'm not really sure we're hearing great sales numbers from the street. s it is a new hardware phone, but apple intelligence is not

included. so if you go to the apple store and you get the iphone 16, you're going to have to wait a few weeks for hem to the start rolling out some of the a.i. features, and in china, it's the not being released million 2025. we all know for this a.i. e phone supercycle, you need orders from china to also come in. we'll is have to see how today goes, i don't think people have huge expectations right away. stuart: by the way, huawei, big competitor from china, they released today the mate xt, it's a 3-way folding phone and tablet. priced at $22,80 -- 2,800. >> that is so expensive and also not a coincidence. stuart: exactly. how about djt? as of today, donald trump -- if he wishes -- can sell some or all of his stake, right? >> he can, but he said that he likely won't. so the 6-month -- expires today. in the last few weeks he has

said, no, he doesn't want the money, doesn't need it, and i do think it would make some investors pretty annoyed if he said he wasn't going to sell and now he kid. shares are lowest since november of 202023, so it wouldn't make huge sense right now, to sell at a low. stuart: tell me what happened to fedex, because they reported after the bell yesterday, and they are down a whopping 13% today. >> they're citing a slowdown in the economy. quarterly profit was lower. they said customers are trading down. instead of spending more money at fedex for faster service, customers are trading down and buying things that allow you to just ship things slower. they don't want to pay up for fedex. really interesting, fedex also said the 50 basis point cut by the federal reserve was good because that shows that the federal reserve is seeing the slowdown in the economy that fedex is experiencing. he says we are seeing the slowdown particularly in the industrial space, that's a bellwether for the economy. it's our most profitable business, and we're in trouble. stuart: good.

the home builder, lennar. i know they reported after the bell. i thought it was a pretty god report. i saw it, so why are they down 4%? >> i think you're right. probably some profit selling after the big gains we saw yesterday. new orders were up 5%, deliveries up 16%. the average price for a home is $422 22,000. -- 422 the ,000 on call saying, look, we are benefiting from a supply shortage. we are here to come and build to take advantage of it. maybe we'll is have to see how the stock shakes out. stuart: we have nike's ceo, john donahue, he's retiring, and the stock's gone straight up. i guess investors didn't particularly like the guy who's leaving. >> how bad when you announce your resignation, and the shares go up instead of down. he took over in january of 2020, one of the first outsiders that nike brought in. nike has faced significant challenges. they tried the direct to consumer, didn't work with. now they are bringing in vet ro2 years at nike -- 32 years at

nike. people really like him, elliott hill. they these to pivot again if direct to consumer isn't working, go back to the retailers. we'll have to see if it works. stuart: up 7.7%. palantir. i know they've got a deal with the military, expanding a.i. stock's down though. >> it's for $100 million. palantir's incredible. remember yesterday it had a good day with the tech rally, right? so let's see how the stock ends. but they're crediting this software for all different -- creating this software for all different sectors of the military where you can put up an a.i. visual of the battlefield on multiple screens, a.i. will help you detect where your adversaries are, what's the right strategy in battle conflict, how to do all of it and help you maneuver a strategy. it's pretty cool. stuart: assuming it works, if a.i. takes over the battlefield and we lose, it's not working very well, is it? >> right.

and you also want to make sure your competitors don't get the same a.i. that we have. stuart: yes, you do. check out the big board, sex minutes' worth of business, and we're down 40 points, that's it. dow winners head ad by nike, salesforce is there, apple, walmart, cisco systems. s&p 500, the winners, please. constellation energy, all right, nike, super micro computer and eli lilly back on that list. constellation energy, the nasdaq winner, crowdstrike, siriusxm, doordash and exelon corms. the 10-year treasure -- corpse. 3-- corporation. 3.75% right now. the price of gold, if that's not a record, it's close, $2, 633 per if ounce. bitcoin moving to $62,800. the price of oil, that's around $71, 72 a barrel. not much change, $71.58. and nat gas, $2.33. the average price for a regular

right? >> reporter: that's right. and we don't have any idea if or when he will do any. the strategy, stuart, has been to reach very targeted audiences with local interviews and radio hosts and podcasters and people like that. but she's hoping to contrast with trump -- the contrast with trump will be enough. and in wisconsin a new quinnipiac poll shows she is leading trump by a single percentage point, but it's well within the margin of error. and on the issue, trump is ahead. on immigration, trump leads harris by 7 points, and on the economy, trump leads at 51%, harris with 47. asked again yesterday what she would do to lower the cost of living, she once again began her answer with platitudes before she got into the details of her plan to lower the price of things like groceries with price controls, a plan which

economists say could backfire and even democrats in congress have been saying has absolutely no chance of a passing. but on the issues, harris does appear to be hoping the contrast with trump on the vapes will be enough the to motivate -- the vibes will be enough to the motivate voters. >> i'm sure many of you people saw the debate -- [applause] so all based on cone sent. concepts. [applause] if concepts. their project 205 the agenda would pull our nation backward, but we are not going back. we are not going back. [cheers and applause] we are not going back. instead, together, we will chart a new way forward. >> reporter: trump has repeatedly denied any ownership of project 2025 and distanced himself from it, but that is what the harris campaign is going with, trying the tie it to him. the chairman of the republican party here in wisconsin saying

kamala harris is coming to madison in hopes that voters can be duped into a second term of bidenomics and open borders. wisconsinitis see through the fall facade -- false that a said. but harris does know she needs to win over independent and swing voters, energizing the base will not be enough to bring her across the finish line, so she's been touting endorsements from republicans and putting out the stuff a like this. [inaudible conversations] -- >> my house getting shot. >> yes, yes, e hare that. e hear that. >> probably should not have said that. [laughter] we'll deal with that later. [laughter] >> reporter: so the rally later this evening, stuart, and we'll be following it all day. stuart: wonder what kind of gun she has and when she last fired it, what training she has,s it, etc. that's just irrelevant questions, of course.

thank you very much for joining us. [laughter] now, listen to the steam fitters' union leader, bob bartles, on why he's backing trump. >> i'm voting for our constitutional rights as it was given to us. energy independence, lower inflation, a closed border, law and order! safety and security for my children and my grandchildren. and i'm here to tell you -- [cheers and applause] if steam for its' local 638 is endorsing donald trump for president. [cheers and applause] stuart: all right. look who's here now, bob bartles joins us. bob, unions across the country, the leadership seems to be endorsing harris, but i get the sense that the rank and file if prefer trump. what do you say? >> good morning, stuart, yes. the rank and file has never followed any endorsement from any union leader, myself

included. that's why i put out a poll to my members, and 70% of the return votes are for donald trump. stuart: can can you tell me in what way you think democrats have moved away from working people? >> yeah. and it's not that we walked away from them, they've turned their back on us and the rest of the citizens of america. we can't afford the gas, we can't ea ford to be walking around worrying about our safety. as i said, i have children, i have elderly parent parents it's not safe for them anymore. people should not have to work their entire life, work, save, struggle to buy a house in a safe neighborhood and then illegal immigrants come in their golden years and destroy it and make it unsafe for them and everybody else in their communities. it's just,st it's not going to work. and the american people, i

believe, and especially some of the other trades that i speak to, they all wish that their leaders were doing the same thing that we're doing. stuart: bob: bart everything ls, thank you very much. >> i "24" i try to speak my mind, or stuart. stuart: you do it rather well. good luck. coming up, emotion, occasion occasional tears and the inevitable rambling and confused response to questions, that was kamala harris' live streaming event with oprah winfrey. but the harris campaign is going to claim a win because this morning millions of people will receive brief clips on their news feed showing harris in the most possible light. that's going to be my take, top of the hour. vivek ramaswamy held a town hall in springfield, ohio, the give residents a chance to weigh in on the influx of hay hand migrants. we have the full story on that and that's next. ♪ ♪ -- friday night in dixie ♪

stuart: last night vivek ramaswamy held a town hall in

springfield, ohio. he addressed concerns from residents about the migrant influx there. bill melugin's there. people in that town seemed pretty upset. >> reporter: stuart, good morning to you. they are. and i can tell you many of the people who spoke out at this town hall last night say they're not necessarily angry at these 15,000 hay a sans for settling in their city, they do blame the federal government though if their local officials who they say are not listening to them. take a look. you can imagine they were pretty excited when former gop presidential candidate vivek ramaswamy showed up last night. he got a big round of applause and some cheers when he walked into the room. he essentially handed over the microphone to these locals and let them vent and sound off about the issues they say these haitians are causing for their city. take a listen. >> you know, we could have handled 3-4,000 the people. we're not unwelcoming to that effect. but 20,000? when does it stop? >> make the haitians feel
