"varney & company" picks it up now. stu, take it away. stuart: good morning, maria, and good morning, everybody. peace has not been restore thed to college campuses. the anti-semitic protests are spreading, harvard closes its gates to nonstudents until

friday. columbia encouraging remote learning again, they can't guarantee the safety of jewish students. the president says, as in president biden, he says he condemns anti-semitism. alexandria ocasio-cortez says the protests are peaceful. i'd like to say there's nothing peaceful about that a rahs aing jews. -- a harassing jews. donald trump's trial in new york, the judge will decide if he violated the gag order. he could decide to fine him and possibly find him in contempt of court which could mean prison time. it's unlikely, but it could happen this morning. to the markets. first, look at tesla. this is a premarket quote, 143 right now. after the bell elon musk reports the company's finances and, perhaps more importantly, he'll pell out the future of the robotaxi. if he commits to it, as he's expected to, it would mark the transformation of the company. in premarket trading we have the dow industrials up about 100

points and the s&p up 18, nasdaq up 72 points. interest rates staying at elevated levels. we have the 10-year treasury yielding just above 4.60. actually, it's 4.if 64. the 2-year very close to 5%, it is now exactly at 5%. bitcoin not doing that much, we're at $66,000 right now and oil at $81 a barrel, $80.96. however, got to tell you, u.s. officials report a drone attack on u.s. troops in iraq are, but the price of oil still down. gold staying at much lower levels after a big selloff this week, $2,323 per ounce. all right, politics. the president pushes his green policies. he says he will save americans from a dangerous future. trump rails against the gag order that stops him speaking out while others are free to say what they like. on the show today, who's behind the campus protests? the hamas and hezbollah leaders have been meeting and helping

organize or u.s. campus activists. and ozempic, yes, it works, but gillian michaels says there's a rot -- can lot wrong with it also. welcome to the show. it is tuesday, april the 23rd, 2024.

occupying campus stays spaces with threats against jewish students start thing -- starting to intense final. columbia a classes were remote yesterday with, the university has announced their going to be -- they're going to be eye e bid for the rest of the semester. this demonstration went well beyond new york, you've got encampments at mit accidentallerson, rallies at harvard and unc. the biggest action a came at yale and nyu yesterday, ares made at both schools. there were 133 at nyu last night. now, similar to columbia last week, nyu actually invited the nypd once they felt those demonstrations begin to interfere with the safety of the community, and deputy commissioner or dow tracy shared this statement on x following that incident, rest assured in new york city the nypd stands ready to address these prohibited and subsequently illegal actions whenever we're called upon. i spoke to a number of jewish friends last night and e said do you think this would be happening if students were

saying go back to africa to african-american students? stuart: don't make me laugh, please. kelly, thanks very much, end deed. now, president biden did speak on the ongoing protests yesterday. roll tape. >> reporter: do you condemn the anti-semitic protests on college campuses? >> i condemn anti-semitic protests, that's why i've a set up a program to deal with that. i also condemn those who don't understand what's going on with the palestinians and how they're being -- >> reporter: should the columbia university president resign? >> i didn't know that, i'll have to find out -- >> reporter: should she resign? stuart: charlie hurt joining me in new york city this morning. i don't think that was a terribly forceful response from president biden, and i have to say it again, if these protests were against black folk or muslims, the national guard would be out in force immediately, right? >> yeah. we tend to reserve that the sort of, you know, to say if the shoe was on the other foot, but it really is important in this particular case if you were talking about african-americans, if you were talking about

anybody else, this would be -- this would not be condoned. and, you know, you're right, it was not a forceful statement. he's, condoning, essentially, condoning all of this. but the other thing is democrats are still trying to curry favor with these people, trying to win over their votes. this is the moment where democrats say, stop. we reject this. take a leadership position. this moral if ambivalence is what leads to this. and the worst part of all of it is that joe biden is in the if process of forcing american taxpayers to pay for this. stuart: yeah. >> nonsense. stuart: be careful what you say. >> i'm doing my best. my best behavior. stuart: robert kraft, he's pulled his support for columbia because of these protests. watch this. >> we have professors who instead of teaching how to think, they're trying to tell you are young people what they

should think. and i think one of the biggest problems that a we have to do something about is really tenure at these university. i never thought the i'd see what what's going on in america, what's happening right now, and it really pains me to see it. we can't are this intimidation -- have this intimidation that's filtering lu all these colleges. stuart: charles, do you think jews will ever again feel welcome on american college campuses? >> it's hard to see how that's possible. we don't have a choice, we have to change this so that they do. but, you know, for an industry where they talk about safe spaces all the time and they're always concerned about a safe spaces, where are the safe spaces for jewish students right now? they don't exist. and you have professors, you have university professors warning students to go home and don't come back with. as kelly pointed out, universities are changing their exam schedule, changing their

graduation schedule in order to accommodate not the jewish student, with but the protesters here. and giving in to them. it's just appalling. stuart: it really is. it reminds me of germany in the 1930s. not that i was there, but i know all about it. >> go back to poland? are you kidding me? stuart: that's what they were shouting. >> yeah. and hamas, we love your bombs? this is no proof palestinian, this is pro-hamas. stuart: it's hate speech in the most intense with sense of the world. charlie, stay with me for the hour, please. republican senators josh hawley and tom9 cotton are calling on biden to deploy the national guard. tell me more, kelly. >> the argument is there is precedent for something like this and the situation is escalating to the point this is a major safety concern. senator hawley posted on x eisenhower sent the 101st to little rock, it's time for bind to call out the national guard at our universities to protect

jewish-americans. senator cotton said, quote, the nays e sent program at columbia have to stop today before our jewish brethren sit for said or tonight. -- saider tonight. joe biden has a couth to take charge -- duty to take charge and break up these mob ifs. >> nothing from president biden yet. he will have to walk a delicate line come november. stuart: nothing from senator chuck schumer either. let's check the markets. we're eight minutes into the show, we'd better handle the markets. tesla reports earnings -- after the bell. what are the analysts expecting? >> elon musk is likely going to speak, and one ubs ap ab a list said expect fireworks. nothing short of a roll orer coaster. we called layoffs, misdeliver numbers, today we're expecting to hear a year-over-year decline in revenue. that would be the first drop in nearly four years.

we're also a expecting a nearly 40% slide in profit. the biggest thing, though, i think investors are looking for is guidance. tesla is facing intense pressure from chinese automakers, weak demand in the u.s., and investors want claire dearound what direction -- clarity around what direction is musk taking. are they going to make a big robotaxi play? where's the growth doing -- going to come from? and what about musk himself, is he focused? is tesla his priority? stuart: or distracted. check the markets. we've got green across the screen, dow, s&p and nasdaq. i want to bring in mike lee on tesla. mike, i'm waiting to hear about the robotaxi because if musk commits to it, that will be the transformation of tesla. what do you expect? if. >> stuart, i expect roses and sunshine when it comes to talking about the robotaxi. we'll really know more about

that in august when they have their awe on the -- autonomous if day. tesla's been working on this for a long time, and when you look at the speed of change that's going on with artificial intelligence and generative a.i., it's something that's going to be here, i think, a lot sooner than people think. i think the overhang for tesla is wall street's numbers for driverly ares might be a little bit too high for the rest of this year and next year. i think that has a lot less to do with macro concerns and we sixer but the hype around electronic vehicles around the last few years was huge, and so i think that a pulled forward a lot of purchases that people would have waited on. and so demand is going to take a little while to recover, and so we might have some rocky numbers out of tesla tonight. but every time the stock has been down seven days in a row and beaten up like this, in 2018 it went up 50 in the next -- 50% in the next two months and and in december of 2022 it was up

100% in two months when it got beaten up. historically, when this stock gets kicked in the teeth, it recovers dramatically. stuart: real fast. if the tech earnings are good this week, do we go to 40,000 on the dow industrials? 30 seconds. >> yeah, looking -- look, i think it was the momentum selling to the downside, so if we get some good, positive catalysts, we're going to get some momentum buying the upside, and i think we are in a bull market, a multiyear bull market that's going to be led by tech. hope friday -- hopefully, we are off to the races. stuart: we would love to see it. here's what's coming up for you. president biden accused of undoing decades of will's rights after he changed title ix9 -- women with's rights after he changed title ix rights. riley gaines will tell us what that means for female athletes. and look at this op-ed, wall street journal, by aiding ukraine, mike johnson makes america great again. congressman chip roy does not agree.

[laughter] there you go. what was your response to that "wall street journal" headline, make america great again, mike johnson? >> great to be on, stuart. that's what happens when "the wall street journal" editorial board sits up in their lofty offices in new york, hell and gone away from the people of

texas who are dealing with this every single day. i'd love to see them the sit in the room with the parents obviously laken riley or the parents in the district in which i live in which six children died from fentanyl poisoning, how having 24,000 chinese foreign nationals be apprehended since october 1 alone which is more than all of 2023 and well more than just the simply 381 that we had in the first year of the biden administration, in '21, under the policies of president trump. our border's under assault. americans are suffering, and they have the audacity to say that it's making america great again by sending $95 a billion of unpaid for money overseas while still funding by the way, hamas? let's be are clear, all the people saying, oh, this is good for israel, we're sending billions of or dollars that can be used by hamas. i disagree with the editorial board. it's not the first, and i -- it won't be the last. stuart: so what did you win?

you tried to delay this deal. that was unsuccessful. what did you win? >> well, look, the american people see very clearly what's going on. let's be clear, a majority of republicans voted against this bill on saturday. it's not some band of crazy e people, a majority of republicans voted no. elise stefanik voted against this bill. let's be very clear. let's remember that a majority of republicans voted against do the omnibus spending bill two weeks ago. the american people are seeing hate bare9 that the republican party campaigned using big rhetoric saying tear going to secure the border, and when push comes to shove, the speaker spent six months saying, hey, i'm going to secure the border, i demand it on the back of ukraine, and then walks away if that promise. i stand in solidarity with the people of israel -- israel, but i'm not going to fund both sides of a war, i'm not going to spend $100 billion we don't have to then back away from securing the border of the united states.

that's hat speaker did. stuart: one more for you. biden's considering giving legal status to immigrants married to legal u.s. citizens. now, this new policy would make thousands of illegals eligible for work permits. would you support that policy, congressman? >> i mean, obvious not. i mean -- of course not. the president wants to act a unilaterally like he did with student loans, like he's done on numerous front seat. anything you do that provides status for people who come here here unlawfulfully encouraged more people to come. ronald reagan recognized that after the '86 amnesty. of we need to secure the border of the united states, we need to stand up for the people. we don't immediate to write blank -- need to write blank checks for overseas wars. virtually everybody in my district who has reached out to my office have been thanking me. i was in an irish pub on saturday night with a friend, and a military guy sent me a

drink and said, you know what? thank you for having the courage to stand up for the men and women in uniform and the people in this country who want to defend america rather than sending dollars overseas without paying for it. stuart: congressman chip roy, we appreciate having you on the show today. >> thanks, stuart. god bless. stuart: charlie's still with me. we may disagree on this, but at the end of the day we've got millions of migrants in our country not allowed to work. if we give them work permits, they can make a living and we don't have to support them for the rest of their lives. what say you? >> here's the problem with this, and i think chip roy's right about this. when you willy-nilly bend the rules for people, you end up inviting more, which is a problem. the best way to help these people is to fix the problem at the border. and if you fix the problem at the border, then you start dealing with these situations where you have people in terrible circumstances -- stuart: i agree. job one is close the border and fix the border, then you can consider letting them work. >> exactly.

and when democrats claim to care about the dreamers, well, if you want to help the dreamers, fix the border. democrats don't actually care about a helping the dreamers, because if you did, you would fix the border. as soon as you do that,s the entire conversation changes instantly. and i think that americans have a lot of sympathy for people who are here under in bad with circumstances or who are in these circumstances and would be eager to find a way to make it work. stuart: charlie, thank you very much, indeed. stay there, please. check futures real fast, dow's up about a 120, nasdaq up 80. the opening bell on wall street is next, and we're going to take you there. ♪ ♪

tech earnings. the market needs a lifeline, but i think we're going to get some decent earnings out of some of these big tech names. if one of the big ones disappoints, we could see continue selling -- continued selling pressure if tech disappoints this week, stuart. stuart: ouch, that would hurt. david nicholas, thank you very much for joining us. we'll see you again later, and we'll be watching tesla this afternoon, 4:00 eastern time on fox business to see how they do. they're clapping and cheering, that means they're about to open this markets.. -- market. one of the folks on the right-hand side will reach down, press the button. we've had no significant economic reports early this morning. we're waiting for the big with reports this afternoon after closing bell. tesla today, big tech at the end of the week. here we go. we're off, we're running. please press that button. did she already? i think she did. yeah. >>, i think she did. 38,391 is the dow, and it's up

time around ceo mary barra said leveraging the strength of the traditional gas-powered business gave the company the ability to grow its ev business over time while still delivering strong margins, right in get rid of some of those deadlines -- [laughter] stuart: they've still got to sell these evs. >> oh, true, true, right in but it's more of that moderation, which i think was interesting. jetblue, not a good day, okay? this was really all about the guidance, the stock is down 17% right now. they are revised their second quarter sales down 10.5%, their full year was down single ding jilts. this is a really huge blow for their quest to return to profitability this year, significant cost cuts, learned more were coming and you can really see that divide deepening between jetblue and some of their competitors with those broader or networks. pepsico also out this morning. mentioned here. they beat on revenue and profit expectations, net sales rose 2.3%, but you can see the stock is down 2.3% right now. this is really all about a volume issue. it continues to be under

pressure. you've got higher prices across divisions that's resulted in weaker demand, and it wasn't helped by a recall actually in their quaker segment. they did remain, guy dance remained the same -- guidance remained the same. stuart: show me ups, they're on the upside but only just. >> exact ally. this is about cost cutting. profit came in above estimates. their cost-cutting effortses offset weaker demand in their smaller package deliveries. remember, though, they're face ifing cost headwinds because of that new teamsters' contract. they're -- 46% in this year alone, but they are planning to focus on their enterprise clients. stuart: okay, so they're a winner. now, i'm very interested in apple, and i think that their china problem just got a lot worse, didn't it? >> oh, it absolutely did. iphone sales fell 19 percent during the first quarter according to new data, that is the worst performance that we've seen for q1 since 2020. china is one of the biggest

markets for the iphone, but huawei --s which is also a phonemaker -- is really eating that that share. normally this is chinese new year, it's a big time for sales. huawei jumped 70%. the iphone dropped 19 president. -- 19%. that's a big, big mix there. potentially, you could see some long-term issues with their flagship product there. stuart: the iphone is now the third highest smartphone seller in china. they used to be number one, now they're number three. that ain't good. >> right. stuart: amazon. if you're a prime member, do we have a new perk coming our way or your way? >> yes, but you have to pay more for it, as you always do. for $9.99 a month, prime subscribers can get unlimited grocery delivery e applying to orders over $35 from whole foods, amazon fresh, some ore local grocery stores on the platform. this really positions them to take a run at at wal-mart and target, but i have to say, i hope when someone pix up my

and to go down this rabbit hole of virulent are anti-semitism is just disappointing not just for the college it, but for almost an entire generation of young people who seem to be cheering this on. stuart: there's a new poll, and it comes from "the new york times". it puts donald trump just 10 points behind president biden in new york state, 47-37. do you think trump should make a play for new york? if do you think it's winnable for him? >> i think he absolutely should. whether it's winnable or not, you know, it's still going to be a tough state for him to win, but we've seen in the last three major election cycles every region of new york state move further to the right. as you know, our dear friend lee zeldin, who i was proud to help lead his campaign, we came just shy of winning the governorship, so trump should make a play here. we are the media market capital of the country. what he says and does here will resonate around the country, and this is so many effective targets for him to go after.

that sienna poll also had a number normal of issues where determine accurates were getting clobbered on things like crime. he could highlight all of those. stuart: he could. charlie's still with me. do you think new york state is winnable for donald trump? for example, the big rally in madison square garden? what do you think? >> i would definitely make that rally, there's no doubt about it. stranger things have happened in politics lately. donald trump has rewritten the the political playbook which has a lot of people upset, but democrats are particularly desperate. and the reason democrats, and they're -- the white house's fingerprints are all over every single one of these cases. the reason they want to put donald trump in jail is because they're terrifyinged -- can terrified of him. and if they succeed, this is the way democrats will ever run politics. stuart: thank you, charlie. this is just coming in to us, x is releasing a new tv app for realtime cop tent. can you explain what this does for me? >> welsh for investors i think

it creates the question of yet another thing for e ron musk to focus on. -- elon musk. stuart: another distraction. >> yeah, exactly. this is going to be available on most smart tv thes like you would get with netflix, it. a couple of fee feature ifs -- for you, there will be a trending algorithm for video. you're also going to be able to watch it on your phone and wherever you are continue immediately watching it on your tv. you're going to be able to find content faster with improved search. i think what's interesting though is you've got a lot of people watching video on x. i believe the stat was 16 million days worth of video over the last 30 days. but are people going to want to think about x as t? stuart: i don't know. i -- as tv? i really don't know. it's a new thing again from musk. thanks, kelly. fitness groove. that's the9 title i wish to confer here --
