stuart: good morning. two hours from now, the vote begins on the trillion dollar infrastructure package, yes, it's likely to pass. however, the bill does not include the section on crypto regulation or taxation. some republican senators are not happy about that. they say this omission displays a fundamental misunderstanding of the crypto industry. that's for bitcoin and the other crypto's today, they are all a bit higher with the reversal. earlier today they were down and now they've gone back up. maybe that crypto language will be included in the house bill, maybe. markets pretty much a sideways as they have for a few days with the dow jones down a fraction, s&p up a fraction and nasdaq up slightly, not much movement. the maxi-- vaccine mandates margin on spreading along with rising covid cases. clashes are coming in some school boards insisting students wear masks while state government threatens the withdrawal of this student funding if they do that. on the show today, doctor marth deck doctor mcgarry i

stuart: okay.me of my stuff so that i can sit back and go to sleep at night and sleep easy? >> that's a real tough question to answer here, you know, one on one, but broadly speaking. stuart: with a million viewers watching, i know what you mean. >> it's always important to rebalance your portfolios for the individual themselves to stay comfortable with the amount of assets they have allocated to risk on in equit as well as the overall balance in the portfolio. stuart: give me some advice, i want serious advice here, bill. i won't hold you accountable, believe me. i made a lot of money in microsoft over the last 20 years. i'm worried about it going up any more. i'm worried about it going down sharply. should i sell half of my microsoft? i'm 73 years old. i can retire any time i like. what should i do? >> microsoft is one of our largest -- [laughter] stuart: i've got you on the spot, bill. >> i would suggest if you are personally uncomfortable with the amount of money you have invested in any indivi

stuart: okay. >> stuart's got nothing on that. [laughter] stuart: what's going on?ccinate adding that it is a moral and professional obligation to inform but acknowledging that people have their own beliefs. she has also urged her instagram followers to, and i apologize for cursing, this was in her instagram story, wear a damn mask. stuart: i know. >> she's coming from. >> i wrote that rachel line for all of your producer. i probably should have written it for you. [laughter] stuart: you're all right, todd. i don't care what they said. >>> now this, passengers are left stranded as spirit airlines can feels hundreds -- cancels hundreds for flights. watch this. >> i'm here for vacation, and we're just trying to get home, and it's just gotten canceled, no reason for why. >> we have to work so, hopefully, within a few days at least we can get home. stuart: chaos in airports across the country. spirit and america, they're blaming -- actually, they're blaming staff shortages and the weather. we'll tell you how they're going to try to get back on track. a lot of people suf

stuart. stuart: you got it.robably, not sure about that, it may pass. susan: it may pass. stuart: there is some opposition to it. susan: it will pass the senate, do you think? 17 republicans -- the house is whole different story. i want to show you tesla, tesla back above $700s first time in three months. i think it has to do the trillion dollar infrastructure package likely to be passed in the senate. if you look through the infrastructure package, seven 1/2 billion goes into 500,000 of these electric car charging stations. if you have the ev infrastructure, see, there you go, there you go. electric charging station you see that? stuart: 73 billion for that. helping boost a rally in tesla's stock $700 today. with the internet access and broadband that is helping lift a lot of chip-makers today. the chip-making suppliers are dominating nasdaq. yes, passage in the senate may long likely. the house another story. stuart: looks likely in the senate, they have a deal at least? susan: yeah. stuart: that is helping th

stuart: content is king? susan: yes. stuart: sure is now.n? susan: unfortunately so if you're a videogame investor this morning. so last night we had china's biggest video game provider, one of the largest technology companies tencent, owns epic games which makes fortnight. it dropped 10%. one of china's newspapers compared video gaming to opium, addictive. this is having a effect on activision blizzard reports tonight after the bell and take-two interactive makes grand theft auto. take two had a disappointing earning report this morning. they will delay titles and guidance is weak. stuart: i do know parents who say videogames are opium for their, i do know parents. susan: you can make money on esports, better tell our audience what is coming up. here we go, simone biles returns to the balance beam in tokyo. we have the highlights of her performance just ahead. how much can you expect to spend this back-to-school season? in one word, more. we'll tell you how much more. ♪. (judith) in this market, you'll find fisher investments is different t

stuart: okay.es to the taliban. what ties and how do we make them accountable? >> china has had the robust ties before and after 9/11. china was directly supplying small arms, anti-aircraft guns to the taliban when it was fighting nato and americans which means we had series of american presidents who ignored china killing americans. this was a strategic failure on our part t was also a moral failure. this has got to end, stew. we need to hold china accountable and impose costs. we can do this through trade, we can do this through investment restrictions, all sorts of ways but we cannot allow the chinese to kill americans with impunity. stuart: what do you think of some accountability imposed by president biden? >> probably zero. biden does not want to hold the chinese accountable for anything. we see this for instance in covid. he spent two hours on the phone with chinese leader xi xinping in february. didn't raise the questions of the origins of the disease once. he wants china's cooperation on c

stuart: dr.c siegel, do you think kids should wear masks when they collect a school in september? >> well, i'm going to get to that in a second. look, let's start with the idea markets are getting sick. 20% of cases are now kids, but doctor pol who i knows well says it's because the older people are protected with the vaccine and that's the reason why the risk of covid that you can get seriously ill and it's not to be taken lightly, but it may be that they are more vulnerable. on masks, the problem is their surgical mask or cloth mask has never been studied against the delta variant so i'm suspicion it may not work that well. it doesn't work that well period. i'm on the side of doctor scott godley. doctor gottlieb former fda commissioner and i both say let's try keeping chi here-- dry here, and 95 mask, looser fitting, see if kids can tolerate them, not mandates but recommendations. we don't want to give the teachers union any excuse in the book to close or not open schools. stuart: but if you tr

stuart? stuart: rich, thank you very much indeed.is afternoon, at the white house, doesn't president biden have to take questions on afghanistan? >> one would think, stuart. listen this communication effort by this white house, the pentagon, the state department has really gone south. the fact that we haven't heard from the key players, the secretary of state, secretary of defense, chairman of the joint chiefs, president of the united states specifically. we heard one speech but not q&a. not talking about all of the reporting that we've seen about the warnings that they have received. instead what we've had is a lot of secret officials telling off the record, or on the record but anonymous reports about how they were right and the other agency was wrong. how they told the president this and he ignored it. i think there is a lot to go through here but the biggest thing to get is the people out of afghanistan. stuart: yeah, yeah. >> it really seems like it is going to be a tough challenge. stuart: isn't it a hostage situation? we have

stuart: now this.stan. >> they should drop that. our entire focus, republican, democrat and independent should be nothing else than bringing our americans home. stuart: congressman ronnie jackson the republican from the great state of texas joins us now. sounds like a good idea to me, get the people out and figure out the spending later. >> absolutely right. that should be our only focus, the only thing we are focusing on. nancy pelosi should be ashamed she brought us back to talk about this massive spending bill that has nothing to do with infrastructure, just a socialist wish list they are finding here. trillions of dollars. stuart: it is a -- they are changing the subject, doing so badly on the border in afghanistan and crime and all the rest of it they need to buy some votes, checking out the $3 trillion spending program, spending the subject. >> changing the subject in the middle of i am telling you about to be the biggest hostage situation we've ever seen, i think it already is. we have thousands

we have to talk about stuart and the raid. some people love stuart. i have some people in the audience that love stuart and others who are not so happy with him. i didn't want them to sit side-by-side. stuart likes the show. he understands if he can have a raid especially to go around the union flank, it is embarrassing. it is embarrassing to the north and in all the newspapers, will pick up supplies, it does make sense. the problem is the root he takes. lee gives permission on june 20 second. when is the battle of gettysburg? july 1st, not that far from it and he says listen. you've got two roots, you pick the root, you can do a northern route this way through sharpsberg into frederick or southern route where you will go around the union army but whatever you do i want you to stay close, where is it going to be? of your down here? if it is up here to the north which route does stuart take? the southern route, the more difficult one. he's going to be marching south. this is simply a quote from another from gettysburg magazine who blames lee for not be

stuart: we'll be watching. >> thanks stuart.s at the consumer level. michael lee back with us, the market watcher of the morning. i know you're still bullish. you're always bullish, michael lee, but what do you think this inflation rate and continuing inflation, what do you think that does for the market? >> you know, stuart, i think either this month or next month , we've seen peak inflation i think a year from now you'll be looking at supply and this all goes back to the shutdowns from covid and the effects of that. it's simply a lot easier to turn the light switch off in the economy than it is to flip it back on, and these things haven't worked their way through the system and if you look at the key drivers as a number, used car prices . used car prices are higher, because you can't make new cars because of a chip shortage, okay? that is going to solve itself and then you look at airfare and hotels, two industries that were dying last year, that have really made their way back, and are dealing with supply constraints, so i th

stuart: mr.o combat outside of the airport perimeter and bringing those people to the airport, going into combat to do that? do you think president biden would do that? >> not for me to say what i think he should do or what he will do. i think what he should do is be prepared to carry out the promise he made we were going to get them out. that may mean putting troops on the ground in places like harat, or massari he el sharif. using chinooks which have bigger capacity than blackhawks to get people to safety out of kabul. step back, stuart. the problem we have to re-establish american credibility. there are three things we have to do to make that happen. one, get those americans out and as many afghans as we possibly can. it hits me in a personal way because my very first assignment as an american diplomat was two years in afghanistan, decades and decades ago. but we have got to get as many of those people out. two, president biden should call for a summit meeting of the nato allies, including him

stuart: it is chaos. we understand vice president harris took six questions from the press a few hours ago in vietnam. am i right insanely two were about afghanistan. >> she said the mission is to get americans out. >> our highest priority is vaccinating american citizens am evacuating afghans who worked with us and afghans who are at risk with the priority on women and children. it is a dangerous and difficult mission but it must be seen through and we will see it through. >> anthony blinken estimated 1500 americans left in afghanistan. 500 have been instructed on how to leverage of thousands, the state department trying to get through to them. you heard reports of americans with passports can't be allowed or not being allowed to reach the airport by the taliban and and even if it extends past august 30 first they are not going to stop their efforts to get americans out according to him. >> jen psaki was asked by peter doocy why the president made a joke when asked about afghanistan. >> president biden:

stuart: see you later.ll at on this program bill mcgurn, brian kilmeade, nigel farage, second hour of varney is next. isn't just about time, you know. it means experience. i mean, put it this way. . . . means you don't have to choose just one adventure ♪ ♪ you get both. introducing the all-new 3-row jeep grand cherokee l jeep. there's only one. my name is douglas. i'm a writer/director jeep grand cherokee l and i'm still working. in the kind of work that i do, you are surrounded by people who are all younger than you. i had to get help somewhere along the line to stay competitive. i discovered prevagen. i started taking it and after a period of time, my memory improved. it was a game-changer for me. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. we did it again. verizon has been named america's most reliable network by rootmetrics. and our customers rated us #1 for network quality in america according to j.d. power. number one in reliability, 16 times in a row. most awarded for network quality, 27 times in a row.

stuart: a good morning. just as president biden goes on vacation, his administration is hit with two crises. number one, afghanistan. overnight the taliban claim control of two big cities, herat and kandahar and they are threatening to take the capital as a plan to humiliate america by burning down our embassy in kabul on september 11. second crisis, the border, 200,000-- 212,000 since in july alone, five times the number from last year end the secretary there yesterday at the border it was a staged affair, not i am migrated to be seen for his photo off, but it leaked tape from his closed-door meeting has him calling the migrant situation unsustainable, so what if anything will the administration do about it? we don't now. none of this has any impact on the markets as the dow jones and s&p closed at record highs again thursday. it's been straight up recently, s&p has not had a 5% pullback since october, of last year appeared this morning the dow jones will go up a bit more at least at the opening bell as we

stuart. stuart: trey, thank you very much for that report.nt at virginia tech who says her relatives are stuck over there. she joins me now. miriam, describe what happened to your family when the taliban took over, please. >> good morning, stuart. thank you for having me. when the taliban first took over, i remember i was moving in my college apartment. next morning i wake up i have a missed call from a family member with a couple of messages. looking at messages, him begging for help. can you please help me any way you can or i'm stuck here. the taliban went to his house, smashed through the windows, and they are terrified in place. every day they wake up in afghanistan they don't know what is to come. they don't know if they wake up the next day. that is upsetting to see it unfold from here. there is not very much i can do. stuart: are you worrying about you appearing in tv america like this, pleading for help of your relatives when the taliban might be seeing this in afghanistan? does that concern you? >> yes. it's a very big concern i hav

stuart: lauren? >> it changes his domestic spending agenda because he has different priorities to focus on but unbelievable that the market was down 300 points looking at the dow yesterday and record highs. stuart: i will take you both on. i disagree. i think president biden will look for ways to attract voters with this debacle in afghanistan. what he will now push for is $3 trillion of extra spending, by votes, by the electorate back again. what he got to lose? how else would get the voters back? >> watch the strength of the us dollar in general jack keane talks about diminish us influence stuck with me. have we laid into the narrative of china and russia yet? already in the world stage saying the united states is in decline. you have to ask the question. stuart: thanks for being with us. we will see you again. >> i thought about you through a lot of this week you traveled to all these parts of the world. top of the hour i have mike pompeo and nikki haley joining me, they are outraged. mike pompeo,

stuart.t 1:00 this afternoon, 1:00 eastern time. we're told it might be up to an hour. i don't think he'll take the whole time. whether he answers questions, i don't know, but this is a chance to stake out a position as leader of the united states. it's an opportunity. brian: yeah, yeah, it is, but it's kind of late, stuart. he had that opportunity, and the fact that he's not taking questions on it already suggests to me he's probably not going to again. he could make things much worse with what he's going to do in three hours from nowen than better. i think that's the big risk. stuart: whilst we're here, i cowant to deal with this issue. james madison university training their student employees to recognize male, straight or christian people as oppressors. that, to me, is a very big deal. you're a professor. you're a teacher in colleges. what do you make of that? brian: the first thing i would tell any student is when you meet somebody new, take the time to get to know them, learn something

stuart: thank you.messaging on afghanistan. lauren, do you know what he is saying or a report? lauren: abc chief washington correspondent. he is blasting the white house for their messaging. >> listening to president biden and his top national security advisors before the horrible bombing, they were making this sound like a smashing success. >> they have been describing something that isn't reality. this has been an incredible airlift. more than one hundred thousand people evacuated but what a disaster. clearly thursday was the worst day of the biden presidency. we don't really know, martha, how bad it really is. lauren: the bigger problem now, to what extent does afghanistan become a safe haven for terrorist attacks. it was not just abc. it was much of the mainstream media calling afghanistan the worst part, the worst days of the attack on the biden presidency. stuart: that is a turnaround i got to say. lauren: that is a huge turnaround. there is bipartisan agreement on that front. stuart: another big

stuart kaiser of ubs. let's run through those headlines. the president of the united states in an interview with abc, saying there was no consensus in the intelligence. the intel community did not predict a quick taliban take over. there would have been no good time to leave. he said no one warned him to keep 2500 troops in afghanistan, responding to some of those questions about what exactly intelligence told this white house. lisa: tom mentioned the admiral who wrote a column in bloomberg opinion, talking about how the afghanistan he army was not equipped -- the afghanistani army was not equipped to fight the taliban. even though the u.s. set it up with all of these types of u.s. style army paraphernalia, that was not what they needed. they needed more guerrilla warfare, more local organization. and as a result, anyone could have seen this coming, which was interesting given his role in the administration in the old days. jonathan: many of the questions that have been asked over the last week, and we have all been asking about how this wh

bar. >> you know, stuart, i think the kind of optimistic take here and it's a serious one is that in the end jeffrey rosen and donohue to their credit fought against it. they created this sort of pact to resign. they went to cippalone. saying this is the kind of dead man's switch this evening after acting attorney general jeffrey rosen over the course of the last week repeatedly refused the president's direct instructions to utilize the department of justice's law enforcement power for proper ends, the president removed jeff from the department. rich donohue and i resigned from the department effective immediately to their credit that is what stood between. but my concern is the add mixture in the republican party of jeffrey clarks and jeffrey rosens. >> yeah, look, i'm not the guy to come to if you're looking for an optimistic view of this because i think it's simple what they want to do. they do want to overthrow the electoral process as we know it. so what happens to this guy? he tries this, it comes close, it fails, he goes to a cushy job. what are they going to do? they're going
