of liberty, of course, in new york city harbor. a little cloudy today, first clouds we've seen all week but, you know, the temperature's down to the mid 700s, it's really rather pleasant. >> 11:00 eastern time, friday, september the 6th, it's jobs day. look at the markets. the jobs report came in weaker than expected and previous months were revised down. fed if president john williams, who is a voting member, came out and said it's now appropriate to lower interest rates. okay, so what? the nasdaq is falling out of bed, down 264 points, again, that's 1.5%. the dow not down that much, 37 if points. the s&p is down .81%. finish big tech earlier today, all of them were down, same story now, all of them down, apple, microsoft, alphabet, amazon and nvidia, they're down. the 10-year treasury yield had been moving up,ping now it's moving down. look at that, 3.65. maybe that a will make a difference to the nasdaq. now this.

next tuesday, september 10th, 9 p.m. eastern on abc the second presidential debate. are you ready? the first one made history. joe biden's performance bounced him out of the race within a month. the next one may not be quite as historic, but since it's likely to be the only debate between harris and trump, it may well be decisive. rump has the ask the questions -- trump has to the ask the questions, what's with the flip-flops? with the mics muted, he will not be able to the interrupt, but he does get two minutes for rebuttal and an extra minute for a follow-up. he must press hard, but insult won't do -- go down well. she's tied the biden, like it or not, he's got to be sharp-edged without being nasty. for harris a question of getting under his skin, provoke him to anger. no woman likes being subjected to a man's anger. i'm sure that harris wants him to interrupt so she can use the

i'm talking now card. but with the mics muted, that's going to be difficult. above all, she must come across as being ready for the job. her demeanor will be important. no word salads, no rambling. 9 without notes or a teleprompter, that will not be easy is. she's getting five days of debate prep. she will certainly be memorizing her key line. and then there's abc, the moderators. that network has no love for donald trump, and they've generally been friendly to harris. they must be seen to be fair. it's been a tumultuous summer. the first debate biden drops out, harris nominated, trump bathed in glory at the rnc, harris bathed innage alation at the dnc and now -- adulation, and now face to face in philadelphia. and after that, of course, there's the election. what a year. third hour of "varney" starts now.

ben domenech with me now. it's an exciting year in politics. is this mistake or -- make or break for both sides, this debate? >> i absolutely think it is, stuart. and i think that's why everybody's going to be paying attention to it. and i think that the stakes are high for both campaigns. you know, we have effectively a race where they're tide or harris is slightly -- tied or slightly ahead -- harris slightly ahead in most of the battleground states, but the momentum seems to have shifted away. they didn't get a bounce out of chicago of any significance, and i think that the real movement right now is toward donald trump again because of the fundamentals, concerns about the economy, concerns about global affairs. and i think it's important for him to prosecute that that case against kamala harris. if you want more of the same, of the past pour years -- four years of administration policy, then vote for her. but if you want to go back to a point where the economy was

thriving, where we had more confidence around the world, where we weren't getting caught up in, you know, new conflicts and that kind of thing, then you should be able to the make the case for a return of trump to the white house. that's what he needs to do. stuart: yeah. if it's a hope and change election, it surely goes trump's way, doesn't it? [laughter] >> yeah, i completely agree. but there's one other thing that you said that i think is really important because we talked about it last time with the cnn debate. that is that the moderators need to ask the tough questions of kamala harris given how little exposure she's had to any kind of tough questioning. she has really not had any of the obvious things put in front of her that she needs to answer in terms of questions about security, foreign policy, the border and, of course, the economy. instead, i think she's been able to, you know, escape and skirt and dodge questions. this may be the only opportunity, and it's the incumbent upon abc and their team over there the to come up with a set of questions that,

just like we were, you know, generally impressed with what cnn did, sick the to the issues that matter -- stick to the issues that matter the most. stuart: stuart republican congressman tony gonzalez says, lack, the gop could lose control of the house in november. he thinks they're ooh focused on impeachment and in-- instead of kitchen table issues. what do you say, ben? >> i think there is a concern about that that. the republican house really, of course, was prosecuting a case against joe biden that was built on significant investigative power that they had in order to try to get access to a lot of different information. it's still important, i think it's still something that is the business of congress to do in terms of oversight, but what's more important now for them is to shift into campaign mode where they talk about those kitchen table issues that matter the most. this is a base election either way. the partisans on both sides are completely motivated for both harris and for trump. and now i think that shifts to a conversation about winning that slim portion of independents in

the middling of the country ideologically who are going to decide this election. stuart: got it. ben domenech, you have a great weekend, and we'll see you next week, debate week. >> good to be with you. stuart: intlen again -- again, september 10th, "the bottom line" will begin special coverage that a night from 6-8 p.m. eastern, and fox business will simulcast the debate live, of course, at 9 p.m. eastern. let's get back to the markets. what a day it's turning out to to be. we've got the dow down 150 to, we've got the nasdaq down 1.8%, down 322 points. heather zumarraga is joining us. you're going to the stay here for the entire hour. >> yea. stuart: why -- is this a reaction to the jobs report? it was weak or than expected? we've got to get rates cut -- rate cuts. >> i think so. maybe we're not going to get the rate cuts that the markets want, but i'm so sick of bad news is good news just based on the notion that we're going to get a cut. look, this is a weak jobs report, markets are selling off

a because of it whether we get a rate cut or not. part-time jobs increased by 264,000 in august alone, so that's a big problem. manufacturing jobs down 24,000. things are great if you're not in an american. over the past year, 1.3 million americans lost their job while 11.2 -- sorry, 1.3 million non-americans got a job. 1.2 million americans lost their job. stuart: i'm just going to go with the month to month numbers. >> yeah. stuart: july to august, foreign-born workers increased by 635,000. >> right. stuart: that's just month to to month. >> right. stuart: in the same month, native-born workers in the if work portion if down 1.3 million. >> that's insane. stuart: the politics of that, come on. >> what about us? well, and you've got to take every jobs report with a grain of salt because lately the bureau of labor statistics two weeks ago said, ah, we forgot 800,000 workers, actually, we have to reduce the number by 800,000, another 80,000 today

revising july's to jobs data. stuart: you could get a revision of the august a numbers -- >> you could, right. even lower. stuart: even lower, even weaker, maybe more like a recession. look, heather, i read your stuff, and you're telling me the sell my microsoft? >> oh -- [laughter] stuart: what's going on? many. >> i would say, look, you've got a 28% capital gains tax maybe coming, 45% proposed corporate tax, you've got unrealized gains which i know if you've had your microsoft if for over half a century, you have a lot of to unrealized gains, stuart. they're going to tax you. under harris-biden proposals. what if you don't -- what if when you do sell it, you have a loss? i don't think it would be possible, but are they going to the give you a refund? give you that the money back? it's scary. stuart: by the way, i've not hold microsoft for the best part of a half -- stuart: it's not been a publicly-traded company or -- i've held it for 25 the years.

>> you've got a good profit though. stuart: you're with me for the hour, luckily key -- lucky lady. broadcom, chip wreck. lauren: yeah. st down just about 10%. the largest decline since march of 2020. the reason softer guidance. their broadband segment is struggling, their a.i. revenue, that was pretty strong but not strong enough to convince investors and erase any of that red today. stuart: look at nvidia at 102 now. lauren: buying opportunity? stuart: ui pass? lauren: robotics company, software maker. it's another a.i. play. stock's down 5%. even though they beat earning expectations for the last quarter and raised their guidance for the current quarter. analysts concerned about an overall a weaker economy and the selling we're seeing in the tech sector in general. stuart: i would imagine that coinbase is down, show it to me, please. lauren: 4%. well, bitcoin, this is the largest exchange, crepe crypto exchange. bitcoin -- crypto exchange.

bitcoin is under $55,000, and a federal judge rejected the bid to propose as class action lawsuit, they were accused of downplaguing an sec -- down downplaying an sec lawsuit. stuart: thanks, lauren. vice president harris has sworn that the border is secure. remember this? >> we have a secure border in that that is a priority for any nation including ours and our administration. stuart: okay. well, congressman chip roy just put out a white paper detailing just how wrong she is. he'll lay it all out for us. pollster nate silver says while harris might be leading in the polls, he thinks trump has a better chance of winning the electoral college. we'll see if governor mike huckabee agrees with that. the governor is coming up. ♪ billy, don't you lose my number -- ♪ 'cuz you're not anywhere that the i can find you ♪

this venezuelan prison gang setting up footholds in cities all across the country bringing major crime with them. aurora, colorado, police there just announcing that four suspects they arrested in connection to an attempt thed murder shooting back in july are all known or suspected tren de aragua gang members, and and i.c.e. confirms all four of these guys were caught and released at the texas border by the bide biden administration. also in awe roar pro-- aurora, suspected gang members were seen in a now-viral video armed with guns while trying to break down a door in an apartment complex tate reportedly -- they'd reportedly taken over. dallas, texas, are telling fox in part, we have had gang activity in the north dallas area linked to the tren de aragua gang from venezuela. our department is collaborating with other agencies to address possible crimes linked to them in you are to city. they've established presences in new york city and chicago and has been tied to violent crimes

in those cities including the shooting of two nypd officers back in june. and listen to the this, according to cbp data, well over half a million venezuelans have crossed the southern border illegally during president biden's time in office. according to i.c.e. data, less than a thousand venezuelans were deportedded from the u.s. last year. venezuela just does not cooperate with the u.s. on deportation. bottom line is venezuelans showing up at our border for the most part, they're here to stay, and they're just released into the country. back to you. stuart: what a mess. bill melugin, thanks very much, indeed. let's bring in, the congressman chip roy. congressman, there are migrant camps that spread as far south in mexico, all the way down to mexico city. are you expecting them to empty out with a new surge north to the border before the election? >> well, there certainly are camps that are springing up all throughout mexico, mexico city, as you point out. but this is what happens when you have, basically, a neon sign

on your border that says come on in. and that's what kamala harris, joe biden, alejandro mayorkas regime is doing. i'm in aurora, colorado, right now. we're going to have a panel at noon if with lauren boebert and a former i.c.e. director running for congress, and we're going to be pointing out what's been happening right on the ground here. bill's been doing great reporting on it, and and a lot of democrats want to hide behind it, oh, they haven't taken over any apartment. we've got the the local news station, radio hunt, i'm at a radio station right now who are on the ground talking to folks there in the apartment complex. yes, there are gangs here. yes, they are dangerous. you have the the four that were arrested that a bill just audiocassette a thed about. it is far worse than -- talked about. it is far worse than anyone is talking about, much less the democrats who have their heads buried, and they're endangering america. stuart: you released a white paper on the consequence of the border crisis. how bad is the crazies? >> yeah. it's -- the crisis?

>> yeah, it's far worse than you think. you've been great, bill's been great putting facts out out there, but when you look at it in toalty, i was tired -- i couldn't keep up with it all, and i'm immersed in it. go to roy.house.gov, we talk about the 5.5 million people who have been released into the united states many violation of law and parole, the almost 100,000 who died from fentanyl poisoning, the massive costs to the states, the $13 billion for texas to run operation lone star, the 169 people on the terrorist watch list we know were released, the the 100 released according to this report directly tied to the terrorist organizations. the criminal elements that are in our country, the deaths, stories, links to all of the people like laken riley, jocelyn nungaray, rachel morin, how many names do i need to read who have died? we're in awe a aurora. i live it every day in,. unfortunately, every state is ined door,s, a border -- indeed,

a border state, but it's increasingly true. americans are suffer, and we've9 got to stop the it because these gangs are coming to a city near you. stuart tooth in my opinion, biden-harris won. they wanted to the change america forever, and that's exactly what they've done, and i think you agree with me on this. >> yeah, stuart. i mean, i know, look, the united kingdom is facing this right now as we see what's happening there in the streets of ireland, we're seeing churches burned. there is a purposeful assault on western civilization. kamala harris supports it, she's a marxist. everybody needs to know that. we need transformative elections in november, or you're going to lose your country. stuart: congressman chip roy, thanks for joining us. >> thank you. stuart: thank you. donald trump has a new plan to bring down home prices. what is it? lauren: the the economic club of new york yesterday he said he would ban mortgages for illegal, undocumented immigrants as a way to bring down the price of a home. he's conflating two wig issues

politically -- big issues -- immigration and inflation. but in reality, illegals are just a fraction of home sales. not sure that moves the need, but it could sway voters politically. stuart: right. heather with me this hour. what happens to home prices if we get the kamala harris proposal to give new homeowners $25,000? and in california it's $1500,000. what does that do to home prices? >> it's insane. anytime you subsidize something, you're causing the price of it to the increase. so, yeah, trump saying how is this even legal, whether that alone moves the needle and helps reduce home prices, you look at -- you broaden out the picture here. with everything they're doing in california, 20% down or 150,000 for illegal immigrants, what about americanssome what about our citizens that we can't even take care of and the homeless on the streets? we subsidize the cost of education by bailing out all student loans. guess what happens? the cost of colleges, it's going to the increase if it hasn't

already. you're encouraging no price -- you want price controls, stop giving money, free money for it if you want the price to come down. stuart: otherwise known as a vote buying. >> of course. 100%. stuart: that that's the way it is. heather, thank you very much, indeed. now look at this, big tech really taking a beating. look at that. apple's down almost half a percent, 2221. microsoft is getting perilously close to $400 toa share. alphabet down nearly 3%, amazon down merely 3% and nvidia is off 4.55% at the 102 level. the dow and the s&p 500 are on track for their worst week since march 10th of 20 to 23. dow off 3000, nasdaq -- 3000, nasdaq off 300, and we're about halfway through the trading session. 300. it is almost fall, that means your doctor's probably telling you to get a flu shot and maybe even a covid booster as a well. doc siegel will tell us who should be signing up for what. a law school reportedly offering a course that explores

stuart: we're still seeing a ton of red. in fact, it's getting worse. the nasdaq is now down 2.22, that's3 84 points. the dow industrials down .87%, you're still off 350 0 points there -- 3500. and the s&p is down 1.5% -- 3500. however, i think we've founds a winner, and that's walgreens, and you're going to tell me why. lauren: i think i a 2% gain for a stock that's down almost 70% this year is a big deal. they're leading the s&p 500, they're launching an in-house beauty line with affordable alternatives. basically, the products that the all the teenage girls want from sephora and ulta. they're more affordable at walgreens -- stuart: of course, the stock has

been chopped off at the knees. lauren: this year it's down 66. stuart: modest bounce right there. super micro, i uh-oh, this was the biggest downgrade in price targets i've ever seen. lauren: yep, jpmorgan from $9950 to 500 and cut stock from essentially buy to neutral $950. after hindenburg report that cited the internal controls at super micro. jpmorgan is saying, look, we think super micro will overcome that but maybe not at the expense of keeping all of their customers. stuart: that was an enormous downgrade in target price. next case, the first ballots in this year's presidential election were supposed to have been sent out in north carolina today, but a judge just delayed the rollout to. aishah hasnie is in charlotte, north carolina. what's the problem, aishah? >> reporter: hey, stuart, good morning to you. well, look, the ballots are in in limbo at this hour. hopefully, we will find out in the next 30 minutes or so what happens with them. i've got a sample ballot right

here. here's thish shoe i. robert f. kennedy jr.'s maim is still on this, these are the ballots waiting to be shipped out. last night they were put on hold. they were supposed to be handed over to the post office, instead they went into a salt for safekeeping after -- a vault for safekeeping after the state board of elections basically told all the counties in the state to, hang on, put them off to the side and let's pause for a second. that happened because a judge ordered a 24-hour stay to allow rfk jr. to appeal her decision to keep his name on the ballot. her argument a, stuart, is that reprinting all of these ballots, okay, hundreds and thousands and thousands of ballots, would you tell me eat into -- would eat into early voting time. and we spoke to one official about how long it would actually take to do the whole thing over. listen. >> the problem is i can't just remove his name and then the start printing. i still have to look at ballot

layout, make sure it's all lining up, then i have to get it approved by the state, and then i have to start testing it. >> reporter: that would be another two weeks? >> our hope would be we don't have to do two weeks but, again, it will take 5-6 days to make all that happen. stuart okay. -- >> reporter: rfk jr. is telling his supporters just go out and vote for trump no matter which state they live in, he just wants to avoid any confusion. president trump is actually swinging through charlotte today to speak at the fraternal order of the police fall meeting. it's a big deal for him. he is only one point ahead of harris in this very critical state. that's according to a recent fox news poll. he is also expected to make some remarks here in about 30 minutes at trump tower in new york city. he spoke to the economic club of new york yesterday. he talked about his push to cut energy prices, his push to remove regulations on businesses and lower those corporate tax rates. he's also announced, stuart, that he's going to create the big government efficiency

commission to the basically audit the entire federal government. he's going to have the elon musk lead the way. back here in charlotte, again, we are expecting some kind of an update from the state in the moon hour to find out if these, in fact, will be the first in the nation mail-in ballots to go out and whether they go out with rfk jr.'s a name on them or perhaps hay just continue waiting and pausing until they figure out what to do next. we'll see. stuart? stuart: aishah, thanks very much, indeed. now this, pollster -- very well known guy -- nate silver, he's changed his prediction model for the election. he now gives trump a 58% chance of winning the electoral college, harris gets a 4 the 2% chance. big difference. former arkansas governor mike huckabee with me. what do you think about that prediction? the electoral college? in the popular vote, but electoral college. >> you know, nate is one of the best statisticians in the country, and he does a pretty good job of analyzing some

numbers that others don't. the most reliable polls, mclaughlin and trafalgar, have shown a very different kind of direction thatten you see from some -- than you see from some of the other polls that show kamala harris has taken a big bump, she's leading. i don't believe that's true. if you look at the cross-tabs, a lot of oversampling of democrats. so i think nate silver is exactly right. donald trump is leading in these swing states, he will lead in those electoral college totals. that's how you win the election. it's far from over. i don't want to start saying let's get those balloons ready. hillary did that, and it doesn't turn out real well. -- didn't turn out real well, but kamala harris is not helping herself by refusing to answer questions ab the policies that she herself has embraced. so i don't know where she goes. this debate next week is probably, you know, the one shot she has to start turning it around, and i'm not sure she can. stuart: okay. according to the daily caller, the university of colorado's law school is offering a course on

authoritarian christian nationalism in the age of trump. authoritarian christians. governor, sometimes christians are dogmatic, but authoritarian? if i didn't think so. >> you know, it's not something i see. when i hear this term christian nationalism, let's face it, this is a canard that the left is throwing. i'm a christian. i follow jesus, so i guess that makes me a christian. the second thing is if you want the call me a nationalist, yeah, i love my country. i believe in america first just like i think most people in the u.k. would say they're, you know, they're u.k. first and wherever you live, that's the way it kind of works. this idea that somehow christian nationalism is some movement that is spooky and weird, that's off the rails. christians and people who love the country aren't crazy, they actually are the most sane people in our culture because they simply want a country that works. this guy that is putting this

court position, paul campos, the professor of law, is a nut case. he actually put on social media when donald trump got covid back many 202020 -- in 2020, he put on social media that he hoped trump died from it. that's how much of a lunatic this guy is. so the fact that he's teaching a course on something like this? i kind of think you would know what to to expect and, sadly, he still gets a paycheck and, in fact, he even got a big buyout from the university because he sued them saying that his low review was discrimination. frankly, his low review is because even his students, most of whom are probably liberal, they thought he was nuts too. he's proving that he is. [laughter] stuart: these stories just keep rolling out, one after another. [laughter] extraordinary stuff. governor, thanks for joining us. always a appreciate it. >> thank you. stuart: where yes, sir. heather zoom rag da, i've got a question for you, is this what young lawyers really should be learning? >> i hope not.

i mean, at least mike said that the guy's a nut case, right? i mean, when you look at the bible scripture, it does not support this idea of christian nationalism. that's not in there. the belief that christianity is superior to other religions and you're not american unless you are, of course that's not true. this is, i don't know, starting a minority group of kids. not going to work. stuart: it's trump hatred the. >> right. right. stuart: thanks so much, heather. next case, a shortage of prescription drugs meant9 to help people with adhd. we'll tell you how the dea is stepping in the address that problem. and coming up, this is a new study that this says exposure to bright light, bright outside lights at night could increase your odds of developing also heym end ear -- alzheimer's, more than any other factor, by the way. this is the latest in our dementia series with doc siegel. the doctor is next. ♪ well, she was blinded by the light. ♪

stuart: on the markets, ooh, the selling continues. the dow is off 3500, the nasdaq down nearly 400 points. there's an argument going on about the jobs report, does it indicate a real slowdown in the economy which would require a 50 basis point cut in september or not? and are we headed towards recession? if we're heading towards recess, corporate profits go down and there is selling on wall street as of right now. by the way, the s&p 500 and the nasdaq are on track for the worst week in a year in fact if show me the -- year and a half. show me the biggest losers on the dow. top of the list is intel, that's back to $18 a share now. amazon's down merely 3%. american express, 2.5%.

boeing, 2.44% and honeywell, 2% even. next case, flu and covid season, they're here once again. and look who's here once again, dr. marc siegel on a friday morning. doctor, should everyone be getting a flu shot and a covid booster? and don't tell me i've got to go out and get one now. should everyone get 'em? >> first of all, everyone should talk to their doctor, that's what they should do. and, by the way, stuart, i will make the same offer to you that i've been making since 2010. i am happy to come to the set with a flu shot and offer it to you right there, but you've been resisting for, what is it, 14 years now? listen, the flu shot, i think, is a great shot. i think for the if elderly, for those the at risk i think it provides a community immunity. it decreases hospitalizations from the flu by about 100,000. we had 400,000 people hospitalized from flu last year alone. i looked at the australia numbers, stuart, the old british

controlny -- colony, australia, i looked at them. they had a very similar flu season this season, right now, that we had last year right here. so it's a pretty serious flu season. 25,000 died last year, we're looking at similar numbers this year. the flu if shot covers three different types of flu. i'm for it, especially for people at risk. stuart: but isn't it expensive if it's not covered by insurance? like the covid booster shot. i don't think that's covered by the government anymore. i think you've got to pay for it. it's expensive, isn't it? >> well, there's discounts with insurances, but i when it comes to the flu shot, it's covered by medicare, by the way. so somebody in our age group, i think the flu shot is pretty cheap, and it's covered by medicare and most insurances. stuart: okay. here we have this, this is our dementia report, doctor. a new study shows that exposure to bright outside lights at night could increase the risk of alzheimer's. more than any other factor.

come on, doctor, what is the connection between alzheimer's and bright lights outside at night? >> elle give you my theory on that, stuart. by the way, there was a study in italy and one in china that already had shown the exact issue. what was really dramatic here, and this was a study the out of rush in chicago that looked at medicare a and b. so it looked at millions of people. what's striking about it is what you already said, people were more likely to develop dementia or alzheimer's from bright light at night than even if they drank too much alcohol, were obese or depressed. these are factors we know are related. why would this be? here is my theory, interrupts sleep. i think sleep is restorative. i think sleep cleans your brain, stuart. you're much less likely to have a breakdown in neurons in the brain, nerve cells in the brain, when you sleep properly. bright light outside interrupts sleep, that simple. stuart: do you think this is legit, that connection?

i mean, okay, you've got the study that says so, but i what do you think about it? >> i think it's legit in the same way that having your iphone next to your bed is legit. i think sleep is key. i don't think there's -- oh, there's a bright light, i'm going to get alzheimer's. that's ridiculous. it's not a direct connection between the bright light zooming in your window and alzheimer's. it's something that you develop over time. it's due to plaque proteins building none up in the brain, not bright light, but the sleep, i think, staves off the onset. not for you, you are sharp as a tack, not a single cobweb. [laughter] stuart: and this concludes our dementia report for the week. doc siegel, i'm sure we'll see you very soon. can't wait. good luck, doctor. see you later. >> great to see you. stuart: the drug enforcement administration is ramping up production of adhd medications. what's behind that? lauren: the dea is increasing the production limit of these drugs by about 24%.

this is for at aal and versions of it -- adderall. this shortage started back in 2022. remember, people were buying fake adderall laced with fentanyl unknowingly on the black market. then demand turned to another drug. then there was a shortage of that, then the fda green lit about a dozen generics, then there was a shortage of everything. so the fda asked the dea to ramp up production by raising the quotas of a key ingredient in it, it's a schedule ii substance so you have to go through the proper channels to prevent abuse and selling where you shouldn't be. but this is the mental health crisis, this is some people trying to to lose weight. those medicines can help. and kids or who are oversubscribed, if you ask me, overprescribedded. >> 10100%. stuart: lauren, thanks very much, indeed, and heather, thanks for being with us for the hour. show me the dow 30 because we've got some serious selling going on here. almost all of the 30 dow stocks
