the ice agents and he runs. event hi he's tased, brought down and taken away. i'm showing you this video to make a point about sanctuary cities. why wasn't that gang member hand over to ice inside the jail in handcuffs? answer: denver is a sanctuary city and will bend over backwards to help illegals. this was leer when the mayors of denver, boston, chicago and new york were in congress and defending the sanctuary cities and the authorities are all dragging their feet on deporting known criminal migrants. the mayor of boston michelle woo attacked the border czar, tom homan. >> talk about tom homan. shame on him for lying about my city, for having the nerve to insult our police commissioner who has overseen the safest boston's been in anyone's lifetime. i am here to make sure that the city of boston is safe.

others may want to bring hell, we are here to bring peace to cities everywhere. stuart: wu spent $650,000 of taxpayer money to prepare for her appearance. now watch tom homan's response. >> mayor wu should be standing side by side with me. who does not want to bring hell to an illegal alien that raped a child? not one, many of them. i stopped counting at nine. we're going to keep going. they can hate me all they want. we're coming. i said we're going to bring hell, i meant it. i'm going to stand by it and i'm going to do it. stuart: betting get out of the way. the sanctuary people refer to immigrants. they think they gets them off the hook. they can conceal the truth that they're protecting violent criminals. homan repeated time after time that the worst go first. but these mayors don't want to hear it. it is their policy to protect all illegals. things are coming to a head. president trump threats withdraw

of federal funds if ice is not allowed to do its job. tom homan is no, ma'am not backing off and the president is annoyed at slow pace of deportations. anyone who knows tom homan knows he'll redouble his efforts and it's taking a bit longer than we thought, but surely we are now nearing the end of the sanctuary movement. third hour of varney starts right now. ♪ stuart: charlie hurt joining me here in new york city this morning. do you think that sanctuary cities are really on the way out? i'm hoping they are, but i think it might take a long time. >> well, i think first in the line of the common sense revolution of things to fall, you'd think it would be the sanctuary cities and love that you point out the thing about trying to hide behind the word immigrants. calling them -- calling illegal aliens immigrants is a smear to

legal immigrants. immigrants are people that come here legally and do @ right way and contribute to america. if you're here illegally, you are not an immigrant. you are an illegal alien and by the way, in the law books, you are too. that video, astonishing. to me, underscores the lie that is their entire argument. when you don't hand over a criminal illegal alien to ice in the jail cell in handcuffs, not only is it bad for our country, it's are dangerous for the police officers that have to round them up, but it's also dangerous for the illegal alien who then has to get recaptured in a situation like that. and that particular guy was lucky that he was just tackled to the ground and reput in handcuffs. it could have ended a lot worse for him. stuart: got to use all that staff, all those ice staff. just one person in the jail in handcuffs him and takes him away. no, there's a half dozen out there trying to get him. >> it make nososense. stuart: no, no sense. let's move on.

these are spac tack larra numbers and declining -- spectacular grote rate and that's going to remove a certain buyer of the stocks. however, i think the estimates for which the growth rates are going to decline for these companies are ludicrous and you're in a supply constrained environment and the video is working with taiwan semi to expand their capacity to grow their rhe newbie more than $4 billion a quarter and 15 months from now, estimates from the revenue to essentially flat line and stop growing and maybe a marginal improvement and that's kind of the argument that we're looking at right now is that this ai is overdone and all going to fall off aycliffe and kind of flat line. i don't believe that for a second. a microsoft cancelled a contract

with core reeve and they're a microsoft provider and they cancelled because they cane get enough chips and build the cloud space fast enough for microsoft to use them and we're so far from material deceleration and this being done and these will be golden opportunities to look back on a couple years from now. stuart: i was going to open up this interview asking you if you're bullish and the answer is clearly yes, i am. mike lee, good stuff. see you again real soon. >> thanks, stuart. stuart: lauren, looking at movers. what's a brown foreman? lauren: they make jack daniels. stuart: yes, they do. lauren: you guys know it so well. this can't pay me to drink that stuff. canada pulling american alcohol off their shelves as part of the retaliatory measures is worse than a tariff because it's literally taking your product off the shelf. the stock is down 3.5%. the good news here is that fortunately for brown forman, canada is 1% of their sales, but

and has been spoken about so those are the main things. i think tom homan is doing a fantastic job and the men and women with boots on the ground are doing a great job and always have and always ready to answer the call but one thing is that the obstacle is that the element of surprise. that's a big issue right now. stuart: one more for you, art. chicago mayor brandon johnson is claiming his city is safer because of its sanctuary city status. watch this. >> the city is safer because of the welcoming city ordnance. in the actions that amplified fears of deportations, make chicago more dangerous. those fears cause witnesses and victims to cooperate with police. ting essential to achieving the goals of reducing crime and pursuing justice for vic tips. they come forward to report crimes to local law enforcement and provide information that

helps the policesoever those crimes. stuart: art, does he have a point? >> no, absolutely not. at the end of the day, what they're supposed to be doing is arresting people violating the law and individuals living in the city that are illegally in the country, that's part of the law. i see agents in the field and patrolling highway or if they see a crime being committed and they're not going to look away and say that's not immigration. i would know it. that's not the way the job works and he owe it is to his community and country and his constituents to make sure people are following the law and those aren't and committing crimes are arrested and brought to the law themselves. jacqui: they're protecting them at great cost to the city and taxpayer. that's the truth. art del cueto, see you soon. thank as lot. stuart: it's the thursday trivia question. charlie, would you like to stay and play? >> i can't do it.
