Disappear. The fear amonging weve seen before economically illiterate, the nice way to argue would be, okay, a keynesian, he thinks Government Spending is good, but i think its worse than that. He doesnt care about the actual working economy and the private sector. Joe biden has proven he has in interest in securing our southern border and keeping our citizens safe, and hes made every state a border state. Now he knows the price of poker 1,000 per gag order violation, congress that is expected to make him stop. Unfortunately for joe biden, hes surrounded himself by really a jv team that has gotten further ahead based on affirmative action. I cant get no satisfaction. Stuart this is one of my favorite songs from way back when, 1963. I cant get no satisfaction. How about it . Stuart i still, 60 years later welcome to the club, stu. Lauren with your name on it, cant get no satisfaction . Stuart i am satisfied with that, i must say. It is 1 1 00 eastern time, tuesday, april the 30th. The dow is down 150, nasdaq down 64, s p down 16. Minor losses, frankly. Show me big tech, all over the place. We do have two winners, meta and apple. Alphabet, amazon if my beloved microsoft has dropped below 400 a share. How about the 10year 10year treasury . Yield s going up. Were at 4. 66 on the 10year and above 5 on the 2year. Not good for stocks. Now this. Overnight students and activists broke in and occupied a building at the columbia campus in new york city. The authorities have lost control. They would not have lost control if any group other than jews had been targeted. If White Supremacists had targeted black students, the police and or the National Guard would have been called in immediately. There would be no negotiation over White Supremacy demands and no suspensions either. Expulsion and or prison time would be the order of the day. Same if gays, women, muslims, trans if or any other minority if had been attacked, insulted and driven off campus. The authorities would have dealt with the situation immediately. It would not have been allowed to first. But at columbia and other universities, its jews that are attacked and the authorities negotiate. This is shameful. When asked what should be done, the White House Press secretary ducked the issue saying only that universities and colleges make their own decisions. Quote, were not going to weigh in from here. Seriously . Would she be saying that if any group other than jews were being attacked . The president himself would deliver an address to the nation. In red states like florida and texas, its the antisemitighten antisemites that have been run off campus, but in blue states like new york, theres a double standard. Third hour of varney if starts now. Stuart jimmy failla joins us this tuesday morning. Why wont the white house take a hard line against these anti of jew protesters . Oh, yeah, 100 . The big issue here for the white house is, obviously, a political one, okay . They have a significant con stitch went city in deerborn, michigan, that loves everything thats happening on these campuses, and they dont want to run the risk of alienating those voters. Theyre having this noshow problem in the primaries, but thats not real leadership. Thats what drives me crazy. We know everything about this is wrong. I can tell you this as a exceed january, when you go to the school like columbia, okay, they dont have comedians because theyre been telling us speech is violence. Sorry, funny guy, you cant do sure your jokes. Anyway, aye got to go, were having a death to israel rally on the clock, okay . I want to point out this never happens at my alma mater, Nassau Community college. Youre not going to see us camping out unless they run out of beer with on nickel beer night. Nobodys chanting anythinger anywhere, no tonights, no nothing. Stuart jerry sign fed, hes blaming the extreme left for diluting modern comedy. Watch this, roll it. Nothing really affects comedy. People always need it, they need it so badly, and they dont get it. You just expect therell be some funny stuff we can watch on tv tonight. Well, guess what . If where is it . This is the result of the extreme left and pc crap and people worrying so much about offending other people. Stuart youre right. I mean, hes right actually. You watch tv at night, the networks, nothings funny. No, very few things unless youre watching fox news saturday night on the weekends [laughter] but i appreciate you mentioning seinfeld, because its nice for me to give the smaller acts a big bigger bounce. Lets talk about it. The reason nothing on tv is funny anymore is its not getting filtered through the lens of will people laugh, its new these other lendses that have nothing to do with comedy, is this joying punching up or punching down . Is this in line with our dei initiatives here at the network . Real comedy doesnt have a political party, it is a party. And the reason a guy like sign fed is as frustrated as he is he knows to become a star comedian, you dont lead the room, you lead the room. You do instinctively what you think is funny. You set the term terms of the negotiation. He grew up in an era where you could do that, where larry david could do that the on curb. When you look at the networks that arent allowing the creative guys to read the room, instead being forced to read the corporate boardroom, everything that comes out is just an algorithm of focus group, and its garbage, so is hes right. Stuart when does it end in. In all honesty, the market ends it. Necessity is the mother of convention, and as youre seeing ratings go down and flee the traditional media platform for alternative sources of comedy, you realize, you know, the networks are going to have to have that come to jesus moment, okay, where they do kind of take the creative reins off a little bit. And i do mean this, the success of shows like mine and gregs are forcing that hard conversation for these networks, because they realize people tune in to comedy because they need an escape from all the political regulation in their life. And if you cant get that escape, okay, you wind up feeling the same way after a watching comedy that you do after watching hard news. Thats why Stephen Colberts show are 25 to get in and 200 to get out. Of its hard to watch. After laugh. Stuart jimmy, well watch your show every saturday night, fox news saturday night at 10 is p. M. Eastern with jimmy failla. Good man,. Thanks, jimmy. Mike murphy we me this morning. Our big story is amazon reporting after the bell. Give us your insight, murph. What have you got . So lets look at what the stock has done leading up to the earnings. Its climbed and climbed and kept climbing. So the numbers are expected to be good, so theyre going to have to come out with a number that really impresses wall street to stay up here and hit more alltime highs. If they dont, its going to sell off a little bit which is also fine because long term for the people watching the show and investing at home, long term amazon is a growth story. Amazon is something that you can buy at this level today, you can buy it tomorrow after the earnings. Over the course of the next few years, amazon is a company you want to own. Stuart you think so . This thing is a solid company. This is going up. Absolutely. Stuart tell me about a apple. They report after the bell thursday. What are you looking for . So, you know, people talk about iphone sales, people talk about china. I look at a more of the big picture and try to block out some of the noise because its tough to say the new ipad will sell x number of units, but when you look at apple which has had a really bad 2024, the stock has sold off quite a bit this year and now had an upgrade yesterday that got it moving back up in the right direction, apple is a company that will be trading higher postearnings at some point. So if youre looking for apple and you say, hey, now its down, im worried about it, if you want to own a Quality Company that that will continue to put out strong the earnings over the course of the next several years, you can buy apple on any pullback which you have right now. Stuart do you mind if i ask you a question about, i call them goggles, those things, what are you thinking . Can you really see [laughter] i think stuart can you see that . If you notice, i didnt use the word end novation when i talked about apple, because i dont see that as innovation. Maybe it dis ainvolves into it, but thats not going to replace nips iphone in the near future. I think what theyre doing with their Services Business is great for the bottom with line of the company, but the 3,000 goggles, i dont own stuart theyll be throwing a fit if they realize im calling them goggles. Theyre a headset, all right . Youve not bought one yet . No. Stuart no plans . No ones asked for them. [laughter] lauren oh, boy. At i one point Mark Zuckerberg was hoping tim cook could sell a lot of them, because people would say facebook is selling them for 300. Stuart i hope on on thursday we get some update on how many of the goggle sets theyve been selling. Surely, theyll do that, wont they . They dont always break out each division of the company lauren well, its wearables. Stuart the analysts should ask them. Stay with me for the hour, please. Lauren are, youre taking a look at tesla. Where is it today . 184. Lauren down about 5 . Theyre chopping away at that major 15 bounce yesterday after elon musk got chinas blessings to bring it full selfdriving technology to teslas biggest foreign market. But today investors are saying we need more details about how exactly youre going to bees e cute this and if its really going to benefit your bottom line, and the information is also reporting there are hundreds of layoffs, additional layoffs, happening at tesla. Stuart molson coors. Are they recessionproof . Lauren no. Last quarter they were stuart oh, 6 . Lauren yeah. Thats a decline and a half. The past quarter was not a. Plop. He were helped by problem. They were helped by steady demand. April and the second quarter, much more cautious. Analysts are saying that theyre losing market share now. The consumer has slowed down. Stuart tell me about walmart lauren so theyre trying stuart south its moving. Lauren its down 1. 3 theyre trying to bring in more highend, high income consumers with more private labels. Theres one called better goods, basically chefinspired food, but its cheaper. Stuart good luck with that. Lauren sign of the times. Stuart below 60 a share. Thanks, lauren. Coming up, antiisrael protests at George Washington university have been going on for six straight days, a few blocks from the white house and the president has said nothing.

Indeed instant match instantly delivers quality candidates matching your job description. Visit indeed. Com hire stuart israel will enter rafah and eliminate hamas with or without a hostage deal, thats the latest warning from Prime Minister netanyahu. Jeff paul is live in tel aviv for us. How soon could we see a rafah invasion, jeff . Reporter well, yeah, stuart, despite what israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu is saying, negotiations are still very much ongoing. In fact, u. S. Secretary of state antiany blinken is expected right here in tel aviv, israel, later this evening fresh if off a visit to both saudi arabia and jordan. At the same time, the u. S. Military is carrying out work right now in the Mediterranean Sea to complete its building of the temporary pier. These are new images provided by u. S. Central command showing the work thats being done on that a floating pier. Eventually, it will be docked at a port in gaza with the purpose of helping deliver humanitarian aid e to civilians there. Thats where the war is nearing the 7month mark right there in gaza. Thish df just released this video from yesterday appearing to show an airstrike targeting hamas infrastructure. Prime minister netanyahu says they need to enter rafah in Southern Gaza. The ground operation appears to be on hold at the moment as mediators work on a new ceasefire agreement. However, the United Nations relief and works agency for palestine refugees says the timing is critical. Just to let you know that people have not yet been asked to emigrate from rafah, but there is a sense that if there is no deal this week, that this can happen at any time. Reporter of rafah and other areas in Southern Gaza like this refugee camp are full of civilians where focus often line up for necessities like water. Theres currently more than 1 million palestinians in Southern Gaza soaking shelter from the war seeking shelter from the if war. There is reportedly a deal on the table that could involve the release of hostages taken by hamass in exchange for the release offing palestinian prisoners currently being held in israel. This could delay that ground operation in rafah. U. S. Secretary of state hasnt really gone into any specifics about any sort of particular deal, but he has said that it is an or extraordinarily generous offer by israel, and hes pushing a hamas to accept it. Stuart and. Stuart jeff, thanks very much, indeed. Joining me now is retired u. S. Army colonel joe pacino. Based on what netanyahu has said, is the hostage deal a nogo . I dont think its a nogo. I think theyre going to arrive at some kind of deal. Right now netanyahu is trying to determine what israel can get for a limited ceasefire, and so here youre talking about less than 6 weeks. How many hostages remain alive, i think thats part of the calculus, you know . A deal will likely involve the return of fewer than 40 hostages. Right now israel and u. S. Central command believe that more than 30 of the hostages are dead. Weve got to think about it this way, stu. Theres pressure every day to keep these hostages aalive. Its not an easy thing to maintain a large number of hostages in in this kind of bombedout landscape here. You have got to get food in, youve got to getaways out, theyre underground. If. Stuart okay, so all that is part of the calculus. What can israel get for a limited ceasefire here. Stuart but if there is the a deal of some sort which leaves rafah in place, then hamas leadership and some of its fighting brigades remain intact in rafah, and that could be construeded as a hamas win. What do you say . A temporary hamas win, yes. And i think netanyahu is going to cede that win, that temporary win, because hes got to get the hostages back, you know in hes always said that theres two prongs here, theres two goals, the elimination of hamas and the return of the hostages. Okay . So you can do the first part or at least part of the the first part, get some of these hostages back and then refume the rafah operation. Resume the rafah operation. Ive always a thought that once hamas feels that this rafah attack is truly eminent, theyre going to agree to a deal. Theyre going to agree to a ceasefire. Right now, you know, the attack is not imminent, you know, the idf has been setting this up for weeks now, theyve been talking about it e for weeks. Theyve got they still have to move some members of the population up north before they can go in, but thats going to be critical in terms of the timing of this ceasefire, and i do believe theyre going to land on a temporary ceasefire. Stuart okay. Change the subject for a second. The u. S. Military has revealed that the estimated cost of building that pier if off gaza to supply gaza people with food and drink, 320 million ifing. Can you tell me exactly what this piers going to do . Because it seems like e a major undertaking for the u. S. Army. Its a major undertaking, its a lot of time, 320 million, not a lot of money when you think about the amount of budget allocated to that part of the world. Its going to bring in 150 trucks of food every day. So thats basically going to double whats going in by ground from the north to the south every day. So its a significant amount. Significant amount of aid to feed a population that really needs it. Stuart but it could be blown up, couldnt it . I mean, somebody could blow this thing up relatively easily, couldnt they . They could grind in that axe. Yeah, absolutely. Right. I mean, its at a great risk. The troops there are at great risk and, of course, the aid workers who are distributing this food are at great risk. To the entire thing is a vulnerability. Stuart got it. Sir, thanks very much for joining us this morning. We appreciate your presence. Thanks so much for having me. Stuart sure thing. The houthis attempted more attacks in the red sea. Tell me what happened, ashley. Ashley yeah. It happened off the coast of yemen. The ship ship is a multiflagged, greeceowned bulk carrier that suffered some damage in the attack. The crew in this case was unharmed, and the vessel managed to carry on to its next port of call. The u. S. Military also says it has shut down another drone in the area, and an italian ship was targeted between the red sea and the gulf of aden can. By the way, the houthis have launched more than 50 attacks on shipping, seized 1 vessel and sunk another since november. But it can also be pointed out that the number of attacks have started to drop off in recent weeks. But it is more than being a pest, its a threat to shipping in that area, stu. The tour stouter yes, it is. Stuart yes, it is. Thank, around. Back to the markets, dow off 300, nasdaq down about 120. We had a double whammy of economic news; Weak Consumer Confidence and higher Employment Labor costs. Especially the latter. The employment cost index went up indicating more expensive labor. The market did not like that. Down 30 for the dow 300 for the dow. G7, the group of leading industrial nations, theyve agreed to shut down all plants by 2035. They want with to inspire other countries to do the same thing. To they really think china and india will play along .

Hes brought with him his stock picks, and were starting with snap. Did you know it was going to go up 4 before you recommended it today . I didnt want. But remember, weve talked about snap several times here, often when its down below 10. They announced good earnings, they announced a profit, so i think they also talked about the ad revenue increasing, so this is the story. They have the users. They havent figured out how to monetize them in a profitable way yet until this quarter. So i think this shakes shapes up a lot like uber and amazon that a weve talked about. If they can continue this for one more quarter, the stock goes a lot higher than 15. Stuart 20 . Higher. Stuart 25 . Yeah. Stuart okay. Ill leave are it at 25. Sofi. What do they do and why do you like them . Sofi is a new age, for millennial, a new finance, a new bank, a new financing app a but theyre involved a lot in student loans, and thats put pressure on the company because, as you know, if you have a student loan, you no longer have to repay it. So thats created some downward pressure. They have a great management team. The former cfo of twitter is now their ceo, so i think what theyre doing, they, again, have the user base. I think theyre the new banking arm for the younger generation. So watch it. They announced earnings and the stock sold off from just about 8 to where it is today, 6. 70. I think it sets up really good here. I think well be talking about sofi for a long time to come. Stuart Interest Rates not a big deal for sew pie . Hurts them, doesnt it sofi . Not really. As Interest Rates have gone up, jpmorgan is about to hit a new alltime high today. Stuart all right,ing mikes, thanks very much. Gnc, they want to cash in on the ozempic craze. How are hay doing that . Lauren they have glp1 support sections, literally aisles filled with products you might want to take if youre on ozempic or wegovy or. Mounjaro, and theyre training their employees to help too. Its all part of a wellnesses category. Sometimes when youre on these drugs, you report side effects like losing muscle, gas gastrointestinal problems. Gnc is going to sell you things to make you feel better as analysts say 9 of the u. S. Population will be on some sort of weight loss drug. Stuart 9 percent by 2030 . That thats a lot of people. Thats a lot of people, ill leave it at that. Lauren, thank you. Now astra the zen ca has admitted that its Covid Vaccine can cause a are rare side effect. That is known as tts. Doc siegel joins us this morning. What exactly is tts, doctor . Well, thats blood clots with low platelets, but let me tell you, this is a business segment. Let me tell you why, because this information has been known since march of 2021 when all the western European Countries pulled this vaccine off the market, stuart, and it was never approved in the United States by the fda. So this is not something that we dont know about a, its something we knew about and it was associated with whats called an a a dno virus vector vaccine. This was not an astrazeneca seek seen, by the way. It was created at Oxford University university, and astrazeneca marketed it. My point is a business point. If your a Company Marketing a vaccine with a known side effect and countries are pulling it off the market, would you please get out in front of it and admit it, not wait three years . Thats bad business. Very bad business, and they should not have done that that. Stuart and because they waited, do they now face liability lawsuits . I think they do. I would think, i would think they do. Not in the United States, because again, it was never approved here. We had that with the Johnson Johnson vaccine, very similar. In the astrazeneca can oxford vaccine, they used a chimpanzee for the vector, here we used a human. But the j j shot was pulled also, and that as has a similar side effect. I think by not coming up front with this, they face liabilities. I agree with that. And, again, for the future, people want transparency, stuart. Youve talking about that forever on the show here. We want to know everything has side effects, all medicines. You try to hide it, nobody will trust you. Stuart im going to change the subject. We often hear that a were supposed to take, what, 10,000 steps a day to stay fit. However, theres an exercise physiologist at a nyu who says its more important to move every 30 minutes. What exactly does that mean, move every 30 minutes, doctor . Thats completely right. Nyu exercise physiologist has it right because the real issue here is about a sedentary behavior. Its not about how many steps you take. If you lie on your duff all day, you have a risk for obesity, diabetes, Heart Disease and cancer. If you simply get up, walk around your olive farm, whatever you do, you know stuart wait, wait i like, by the stuart wait, wait, doctor. You know what i do for a tree farm, tree farm. Stuart you know what i do for a living. I sit still in this spot for three hours can actually more like three and a half hours every single day. Do i have a problem . [laughter] well, i would get up on breaks, by the way, stuart. But you should exercise before or after, you know . You dont have to do it during the show. I dont want to see an empty space where youre supposed to sit, but of course you have to sit there for three hours. Thats not the issue. The issue is that you find 30 or 45 minutes a day to find some kind of exercise that raises your stuart wait, wait, wait, doctor. Youve got to exercise, as in move, or every 30 minutes . Are you kidding he . No no, no, no well, thats one way to look at it. No. Im saying 30 minutes or more per day you have to do an exercise that raises your heart rate. Thats what the studies show. Thats what the studies show, not that you have to i move every 30 minutes, more that you have to move at least 3045 minutes once a day. And, by the way, for the weekend warriors out are there, i dont like that either. Dont do it three days a week, shoot for seven days a week. I want regular exercise in your routine 3060 minutes every single day of the week. If. Stuart okay. Doctor, youre not exactly are setting my mind at rest. I shall continue my 10,000 steps target and see how we go. Dr. Siegel well, thats not bad. But i like the other way. [laughter] stuart okay. Ill get up and walk around the studio every half hour, i promise. Prompt. Be good, doctor. See you again soon . After the show. Good to see you. Stuart ive got to bring murphy into this. Youre a big fitness guy. I am. Stuart you go to the gym, dont you . I do. Stuart i just a want to get into this for a second [laughter] how many days, consecutive days, have you been to the gym . So my, for 2023 my goal was to go 365 days straight, which i did, and i carried it over to this year, so im a year and four months in at this point. Stuart you go every single day . I havent missed a day. Stuart you work out seven days a week no matter what yes. Stuart even if youre traveling . If. Traveling, yes. Lauren how long are the workouts many. It varies. It could be as short as 25 minutes, it could be longer on the weekends when i have more time but, yeah, so ive gone every day lauren i know. Stuart stuart wait, wait, wait, you do this intermittent fasting, dont you . I do. Stuart hold on. Youve eaten nothing so far today. Its now 11 35 today. Youve eaten nothing. No. Stuart when will you eat first . I go to church after the show, so when i get back to my Office Around 1 00. Stuart and what will you have . The same thing every day, a salad from sweet green. [laughter] stuart okay lauren and did you work out this morning or will you work out after you eat . Always in the morning. Stuart before you came on the show . Yes. Stuart go ahead. As far as the fitness goes, we talk about ozempic and all these weight with loss drugs, but if people just use common sense and move their body whether its 10,000 steps or do something physical if as far as physical activity goes and beware of what theyre eating as far as processed food, it can make a huge difference. Lauren thats common sense. Stuart ladies and gentlemen, look at this man lauren but food tastes so good. Stuart im going to change the subject.

Stuart democrat lawmakers looking to ban hedge funds from owning and controlling chunks of the Housing Market kelly ogrady with me now. They want to take hedge funds out of the Single Family home market, is that it . Reporter thats exactly it. And if theyre going to do it by fines and and forced sales. This is just proposed legislation at this point, but the purpose is to stop wall street from push out the average American Home buyer. Its called end hedge fund control of the American Homes act, and a federal tack of 20,000 per singlefamily home owned above 100 homes, and that revenue, by the way, would be reserved for down payment assistance programs and would require investors to sell at least 10 of their inventory per year with. They would have to sell those to families or nonprofits, noninvestors. And, by the way, this isnt just going after hedge funds, its also private equity investors, businesses, corporations. Senator merkley is one of the democrats leading this charge. He shared this its past time we give every American Family a fair chance to become a homeowner without unfair competition from hedge funds and other investors seeking skyhigh returns for tock holders. Legislation stockholders. Legislation has been introduced across ohio, nebraska, california, new york. The investors though are pushing back saying, well, this helps those who cant afford to buy in certain areas the opportunity to rent. However, we found a startling statistic that underscores wall street is gobbling up the most Affordable Homes as well. So take a look at this. 26 of low priced homes that were sold in the Fourth Quarter were bought by real estate investors. Thats in comparison to 18 of overall homes bought by those same investors, so theyre overindexing on properties firsttime buyers would potentially targeted theres republican support as a well, but i will note fun of these measures have ever made it past congress. Stuart got it. Kelly, thank you very much, indeed. Mike more if my wes with me. I object. Theres nothing wrong with putting capital into the Housing Market. I agree. Do you remember the time the government got involved with business and it e worked out really well . Stuart no. No, me neither. Stuart im much older than you too. Yes. So i agree completely that when you pass a bill that on its face sounds like its trying to do good and trying to help people, but ultimately, the free market is the best way to help all people. So let the hedge funds get in there, let them make their money where theyre going to, buyer es are still going to find home toss buy. Stuart presumably, they want to raise the value, so they invest in the home. They do it up, they fix it up. Whats wrong with that . Couldnt agree more. Stuart good lord, murphy. Are we in total agreement . Now this, by the way, g7 companies, advanced industrial countries, have agreed to shut down coal plants by 2035. Ashley, i want to know what the phaseout is going to look like. Can you tell me . Ashley no. [laughter] thats a good question though, isnt it . A plan that is basically, as always in these things, long on words, short on details. The goal, as you say, is to phase out coal plants within the next 12 years or 11 years, actually. Climate czars say coal is the most climatepolluting fossil fuel and must be eliminated to save the planet. But you know what . Tell that to countries like japan that has 32 of its electricity from coal last year. So they use coal for electricity, 32 of it. And then theres china. It continues to open new coal plants at a record pace, india, pakistan, south korea all also opening new plants. But the g7 says coal has to be eliminated, and the epa, oh, yeah, Just Announced new rules that requires coalfired power plants to either capture nearly all of their climate pollution or shut down by 2039. Again, short on details. Good luck with china and india. Stuart good luck, indeed. Ashley, thanks very much, indeed. Now this, an 18wheel selfdriving tractortrailer just completed a successful test run in texas. How long will it be before we see these huge selfdriving trucks on the roads as common place . Lauren it could be 34 years. Stuart youre kidding . Lauren i dont believe it. Theres a Company Called aurora, and they want to put thousands of these autonomous big rigs on our nations highways to run 24 7, move goods and do so much faster with no human safety drivers. Now the testing has a human just in case. When im driving next to a regular truck with a real driver, its like the worst thing for me. I either speed up to go ahead of it or stay really par behind it. Can you imagine being next to a big truck, looking up and being, wait, wait, wheres the person . If this is crazy. Stuart yeah, it is. Lauren a federal database end keeps track of the testing, and since 2021 they found there have been more than a dozen crashes involving selfdriving tractortrailers in tests. Theres a human driver there, so everythings okay, but it always involved the other driver, like the regular car driver with a real human being in it. If so theyre trying to say that the technology is safer, but i dont know if people believe that. Stuart any if thoughts on that, mike murphy e . I do, i think were moving toward some sort of driverless automobiles. Like when you get into an airplane, it kind of goes on cruise control, the pilot sits back and it kind of flies itself. Were getting there. Stuart okay. Lauren but were not there. Stuart not there yet. [laughter] show me the dow 30, please. I see a lot of selling, and why not . Were down 322 points. The dow barely above 38,000. I just see 2, 4, 5 winners out of the 30.

Stuart the university of georgia had Campus Police arresting several people for violating school policy. They were participating in these protests. Chris carr is the attorney general of georgia can and joins me now. Mr. Attorney general, how are you dealing with these protests on campuses in georgia . Well, thank you for having me on. Very simply, you have a right in this country to peacefully protest, and and im going to underline, italicize and bold the word peacefully protest. If you have no constitutional right in this country to engage in nonpeaceful action. You dont have a constitutional right to take over the campus. You dont have a constitutional right to take over a building. You dont have a constitutional right to stop the functioning of the university or hinder or the ability of students who, like right now exams are starting at the university of georgia, stop them from doing the thing that today went to the university to do, and thats to get an education. So i actually commend the president of the university of georgia, those in law enforcement. And its hard for this georgia bulldog to praise a florida gator, but i think the philosophy that ben sasse and the folks at the university of florida have taken as well has been appropriate. Stuart right. You know the rules. If you violate the rules, were going to hold you accountable. Institute so whats wrong with the authorities in new york and massachusetts . Are they afraid of the students . Are they afraid of taking serious action . Well, im going to say its a lack of leadership. And im going to say its cowardly, you know . You have an an obligation to protect students. You have an obligation, absolutely, again, but if youre a private university, again, its a privilege to attend a university. Knotts a right. Its not a right. So why the leadership at these universities arent accept thing up and stepping up and making sure theyre protecting the 99 of the students rather than letting the 1 percent hold the universities hostage. But thats not whats happening at the university of georgia. And ill tell you weve got a situation here too where weve got a group of individuals who are supporting a, folks overseas that dont believe in religious freedom, they dont believe in educational freedom, they dont believe in a number of the things that we believe here in this nation, and they are threatening our jewish student, and they are threatening to eradicate an entire group of people. That is unacceptable, and we will proudly stand up for our jewish students here at, in the president state of georgia. Stuart georgia is one of several states suing the administration over its expansion of title ix which governs college athletics. Why are you sue iing, and what changes do you want to make . Well, one because what the administrations trying to do, they cant. Theyve tried many, many times. Stuart, here we are in a a world where youve got campuses that are being overrun, youve got a border crisis. Every time somebody goes to the grocery store, theyre paying more and more. Weve got troubles around the world. And what does the Biden Administration do . The 50th anniversary of title ix, and they are going after and attacking and undermining womens sports, and theyre trying to insure that boys can use girls bathrooms. It is incomprehensible to me. Its also a unconstitutional. Weve fought this before, were going to prevail again. Stuart got it. Mr. Attorney general, thank you very much for being with us. Short, sharp and to the point on two important issues. We love it. Thank you, sir. See you again soon. Thank youment. Stuart got it. Its that time, the tuesday trivia question. Its a good one.
