11:00 am
>> we need innovative business people running companies, great american companies finding solutions and that's what's happening. >> not that we're anti-immigrant
11:01 am
but anti-illegal immigration. president biden is completely negating his obligation to the person people, his obligation of the american people to protect is and doing it on purpose. what used to be a bad dream will turn into a nightmare. >> child trafficking, human trafficking, it is sex trafficking. we don't know who these people are. they just flow into the country, welcome to america and we're all going to pay for it. >> joe biden wants this problem. he thinks people will turn into his voter for the party and sacrificing 300 american as day dying from fentanyl poisoning in order to achieve his goals. joe biden created this humanitarian disaster. stuart: 11:00 eastern time, thursday may 116789 let's get on with it. check the markets, first of all, dow was down 350 now down 260.
11:02 am
slight losses for the s&p and for the nasdaq. a little bit of red ink. check the regional banks, lot of red inc except for western alliance that's now moved up but pac west down 22%, real trouble for some of the regional banks this morning and maybe it's un-celting the overall market. big tech on the upside with the cole exception of apple and microsoft down. alphabet, amazon and meta up. 10 year treasury yield coming down. that's a story. the yield is down to 3.39%. now this, it's time for a reality check on the migrant crisis. point number one, the border is now the state line, the county line or city line. that's because migrants are being shipped all across the country and local authorities are increasingly saying no. you can't come here. we've already seen this in two counties near new york city.
11:03 am
you'll see a lot more of it as the numbers explode. we all live on the border now. and don't let secretary mayorkas fool you, the millions here and millions more to come will be staying. no way ice will deport them. the democrats won't allow that, they want them here and see a crop of future democrat voters and they're staying and will work here too whether you like it or not. they have to. we're not going to pay for their food and housing forever and beside there's a labor shortage, this is the new reality. president biden came to new york city wednesday and didn't see the migrant disaster, didn't have anything to say about migrants camping out in central park just as the city is considering closing whole streets to make space for tent cities, whole streets were closed so the president could raise money. ironic, isn't it? the president that opened the border begs for reelection money in a city he helped ruin.
11:04 am
third hour of varney just getting started. ♪ stuart: will cain joins me now. the border crisis moves in lamb. ask and it's going to get worse, that's my opinion, what say you? >> no reason to get better, stuart. no disincentive. no sentiment among those living in central or south america if you come you'll be turned away. no logical reason or downturn in the united states of america that would pale in comparison to the economies from those origination destinations would be a disincentive and we've created a magnet and magnet has a pull. all you can do is really do your best to shut down the magnet and, you know, that's probably going to be a situation we have to see localities and states pick up the burden. regardless of its constitutional ability, just do it because you've got a problem. the federal government will not
11:05 am
stop. somebody has to step up, stuart, and lead. stuart: yeah, step up and say no mass, no m. here's one for you. look at headline in the new york times. it says the republicans report on the biden family found no evidence of wrong doing by the president. it house oversight committee james comer responded to that to the times headline, roll that, please. >> if they think it's normal behavior by a president's family to set up 20 companies and have e-mails where they use code names talking about that president, all while they're receiving payments from foreign nationals while the president or vice president is in office? then that's their opinion. let me assure you, joe biden was actively involved in this criminal enterprise. stuart: well, the media is saying there's no direct link of
11:06 am
the money going to the president or vice president back in the day. so comer is convince that had the president was involved. how do you think this plays out? >> sot media is all of a sudden playing the role of a jury who needs something that amounts to proof beyond a reasonable doubt and the media has no ability for the historical mission to investigate, to understand, to see the power, the importance of circumstantial evidence and the most compelling line that i've heard the republicans say when they have given press conference is what's the business of the bidens? hunter, jim, grandchildren, what is it? a dozen members of the biden family that receive money from companies in ukraine, china, what is the business, what do they do? what do the bidens do? the answer only comes down to one word, politics.
11:07 am
they do politics. the centerpiece of the politics is joe bind. what are all the companies paying them for? why are they involved in if you don't think that comes back and points to joe biden, you're doing see no evil, hear no evil. you're only not interested in investigating but putting on behinders and playing intentionally stupid -- blinders and playing intentionally stupid. who's at the center of politics, joe biden and they're playing politics. stuart: i'm looking forward to -- not looking forward to it but anticipate the next few weeks to be relatively constantg out what we do with hundreds of thousands if not millions walking across the boarder and find out what we'll do when we find out that the president and his family right in the middle of a scandal. i don't know how this will play out, but it ain't going to be good. last 30 seconds to you. >> yeah, what's really important to that point, stuart, is as long as the american people
11:08 am
understand and know, and i do think that both of the stories received media blackout beyond a few outlets that include the one where you and i are currently sitting and if the american people don't know, i don't know how there ever is a price to pay. stuart: got it. will cain, always a pleasure. thank you very much for being on the show. we always appreciate it will. see you soon. >> thank you. stuart: back to the markets. i got some red ink. it's not serious except for the dow down 274 points. minor losses, nasdaq and s&p. gary with us this morning. is the debt ceiling a crisis or the debt itself a crisis. >> the debt and the favorite line of people that brought us here is they're basically telling us, oh, we spent it already so we must raise the debt. well, how about not spending so we don't have to raise the debt
11:09 am
and i'm going to give you a number that came out from the u.s. treasury, stuart, and i'll stay this number slowly for the viewers, 929 billion of our very important tax dollars this year going towards interest. almost $1 trillion going towards interest not to the downtrodden or elderly or kids in need or roads and bridges but interest because of all the debt they have put us into and the longer they've been in dc and get on tv and tell you what we have to do with the debt ceiling, the more nauseating i get because these are the people that brought us to this point and leave no doubt in my mind, i don't know what day or number and there'll be a come up p upance on it. stuart: guests are saying
11:10 am
they're buying gold. are you? >> i have not yet but i'll give you a number, stuart. we had an all time high in 2011 and just about hit it in 2020. we just about hit it in 2022. if we break above the range, and we're talking close to 2100, buy the heck out of it. that would be a 13 year breakout to highs and invite a lot of buying, and i think gold would be on its way to 2500-3,000. i am not in it yet, i'll be patient and wait for that move to happen. if it doesn't, i have nothing to do. i think there's a chance it'll happen because you hear the news about the dollar, you also hear the news just what we're talking about, the debt, gold is the anti-against everything you're seeing right now. stuart: you would buy gld, etf for gold; right? not the little coins and that kind of stuff. >> no, or phys, which is physical gold. again, wait till it breaks above that 2100 and sticks.
11:11 am
that would be the point in time where the market says another leg up and due to the fact we're talking about 13 years, it's probably going to be a pretty darn good leg up. stuart: i'd like to see that. gary kaltbaum, see you again soon. lauren is here looking at movers and the big mover is disney. look at them go down. lauren: i know. revenue of $21.8 billion, that was good. sales at its parks, they were great and that whole segment, revenue rose 17% but shareholders hit the exits when disney admitted a 2% quarterly decline for disney plus. subscribers fell for the second quarter in a row it joust about $158 million. stuart: got to be taking over 100 points off the dow industrials. an 8% drop there. lauren: yeah, it was 60 points at last check. stuart: all right. jd.com, chinese company. lauren: yeah, china says it's willing to work with the united states to promote regulatory cooperation on audits. why is this important? encouraging step to help keep
11:12 am
roughly 200 china based public companies on u.s. exchanges and jd.com and pdd and all others up big today. stuart: i see good year tire. that was the first stock i ever bought and i bought it through merrill lynch in hong kong office in 1974. what's it doing now? lauren: probably remember back to the month and date; correct? stuart: not quite. lauren: they're up 18% and changes could be coming since way back when you bought it. activist investor elliot management calling for operational review and recommending five directors for the board and better, more profitable stores. stuart: now it says tease. lauren: don't remember the date? stuart: no, i don't. lauren: darn. stuart: the tease means i'll tell everybody what's coming up. lauren: go ahead. stuart: climate czar john kerry has new target in ware on climate change: farmers. agriculture creates a third of all greenhouse gas emissions and it's got to stop. we're on it. scandal in new york city

for the last two years since the administration took over and that's what the cartels look at and all the people coming to the border are looking at. they're looking at their actions and their actions saying they're not enforcing the law, which is why everybody is showing umm here. the reason they avoid by county is because we do enforce the law and our actions match up with our words. stuart: they're releasing people as of now without a court date and without knowing where they're going. they're just letting them in. i think that's against the law, isn't it? >> yeah, it's absolutely against the law. we have a contact at border patrol, i have a ton of border patrol agents saying we feel like we're aiding and abetting in the smuggling dropping off hundreds if not thousands of people in cities. i just talked to border patrol yesterday, i talked to some of our local communities, the governors are planning on doing this but they're going to start releasing people into yuma county, tucson. today may might be be releasing

11:35 am
president and didn't receive money directly and does that mean he's off the hook? >> well, good be with you today, stuart. i don't think he's necessarily off the hook and listen, all of the people are blood relatives or related to him through marriage and each one of them was receiving very generous flow through money for about 20 limited liability companies and millions of dollars for places like romania, ukraine, communist china all while joe biden was vice president and i think that is kind of a quintessential example of corruption where families are enriched based on service of one of their members and i think what the house is doing and not only revealing this but continuing to investigate is important. the question is where is the fbi when it comes to these payment withs the biden family for foreign countries and foreign actors. stuart: i believe there is a
11:36 am
separate either investigation or separate issue in which a whistle blower is saying biden himself took money during his either vice president seizure disorders or actually in his president -- vice presidency or presidency and is that accurate that somebody is out there saying that thing? >> yeah, it's a really interesting question and that is that the fbi whistle blower saying joe biden received payments and wrote down the information and don't want to put that information out into the world and that's concerning and during the justice cavanaugh hearings and tried to verify every allegation and whistle blower so why not verify this allegation? it's pretty spurious and concerning and i think they

should run that to ground but don't think they're going to unfortunately. stuart: prez address the immigration issue and white house says it's republicans who "refuse to act on the border". roll that tape, let's see it. >> the president has been dealing with a system that has been broken for a decade, since day one. he put in and put forth a comprehensive immigration plan in legislation and he is using the tools in front of him and dealing with the challenge prophetic voice proceeding at the board -- proceeding at the border and congress refused and literally refused to act. they refused to come to the middle and meet us in the mid and will come up with a real solution. stuart: your honor, is that legit to say that the republicans, you blame the republicans for an invasion? is that a legitimate statement? >> no, of course not. we see it with our own eyes and
11:38 am
we're the most generous country in the world. we admit over a million people to lawful permanent status and no one can suggest we don't have an immigration system and have rules and boundaries and the problem is that joe biden's department of homeland security is not enforcing the laws and not enforcing the criminal laws at the border and not even making a good faith attempt to try and decide who has legitimate asylum claims and who doesn't. the doors are open and world is coming in and playing out before our eyes and it's affecting everybody including i was just with the mayor of miami today and he said 15,000 more students year over year and seven new schools just in one year. it's extraordinary burden that every state and every city is bearing because of joe biden's failed policies and inability to enforce the laws at our border.
