not to like if you want to see that the economy recovery. dagen: i'm shocked by the number of falsehoods that come out of joe biden's mouth like guns and buying guns at gun shows and how you don't get a background check, that is a lie and i'm looking at out for how many more he tells this week. maria: you are right, jim crow 2.0 another lie. great show, have a great day. we will see tomorrow. "varney & co." begins now. take it away, stu. stuart: good morning. as we start the new week , there's clearly a new mood. click at this for starters, hideki matsuyama won the masters, thousands of people lined the greens, almost back to normal masters played again in early april with big crowds. that's a change on the positive side. america's wildly successful vaccination drive continues, 4.6 million shots administered saturday

alone. one in four americans now fully inoculated. meanwhile, china has trouble with its heavily touted vaccine. it's no more-- nowhere near as effective as western vaccines is been sold around the world. it's anything but back to normal for the corporate boardroom with more ceos taking political sides and over the weekend executives from over 100 companies had eight zoom meeting to figure out to respond to georgia's voting law. there woke employees demand a say in where company said should expand and which politicians they should support. to the markets, we are not quite back to the normal of rapidly rising prices, but pretty close to dow jones will be up -- i'm sorry down 50, s&p down by five and nasdaq down 33, not a lot of red ink. bitcoin hit $62000 of the weekend.

stuart: i'm terribly sorry, folks. i made a mistake. it's not april 11. it's april 12, all day long, monday, april 12. you have no idea of the ruckus in my ear when i got it wrong but i'm getting it right now, april 12, everyone. but start with bitcoin. it that 61-- moments ago-- $61000, 62000 and we can. susan, good morning and welcome. why the spike to make 62000? susan: i like to go back in time as well so could be the 11th, the 10th, whatever you want. let's talk about big numbers, we broke through 61000 again for

bitcoin for the first time in more than a month, since early march we have not been at these levels and the reason is a coin base of the direct listing taking place wednesday. hugely popular and highly anticipated coin base world's largest crypto exchange, first list-- listing of its kind and possibly evaluation of the hundred billion dollars and that would make it the most valuable listing of facebook almost nine years ago. that means there's a lot more money and a lot more interest to invest into bitcoin. morgan stanley, goldman sachs, tesla, paypal and the list goes on and on with michael strategy saying they would pay some executives and bitcoin if they chose to, so crypto growing fast and long and that also means a bullish prediction bitcoin getting higher so this morning i saw 400,000 per coin in the next year according to one analysis.

that's how bitcoin controls inflation meaning they reduce the supply so supply if it goes down that means prices go up in 400,000 is a long ways from here stuart: would you get paid in bitcoin if you are offered the chance? susan: depends on how many bitcoin on getting and if it's too bitcoin an hour, yeah i would think about it but if it's too bitcoin a year, no thank you. stuart: well said. hold on a second. president biden and vice president harris will meet with lawmakers on both sides of the out today. susan, what are they talking about? susan: and lot of money, to an a quarter trillion dollars in the structure plan, but only five or 6% will go to exley building roads, bridges and ports and also questions on how to pay for it with the biden administration wanted to raise corporate taxes to 28% and red state democrat joe mansion has said that packs

hike goes too far in their six or seven other democrats who feel strongly against this. that's a big deal in the split senate at 50/50. unlikely as we know to vote for the tax hike admits mcconnell says he's against it: yet the latest liberal wish list. 5% actually goes to infrastructure so why call it an infrastructure planned? susan: left wing wish list, but that's my editorial. to the markets, how we will open this monday morning, april 12, by the way, down 50 on the dow jones, down 26 on the nasdaq and let's bring in ed yardeni. i want to know-- i think $800 billion worth of checks have gone out, emergency checks. how are we using the money: do we know yet? >> we do, the federal reserve bank of new york apparently has pretty good survey system and may have concluded that

of the three rounds including the latest round, they show like 25% is spent on goods and services and the rest is going into savings. savings mean accumulating assets and also paying off debt. i know that data shows people have been paying off their consumer credit cards to the tune of $100 billion over the past year. that still leaves a few billion dollars for asset purchases and a lot of it is in liquid assets, but i think it's a seeping into the stock market and i see almost every day they try to get the market down, and by the end of the day we are at a new record high stuart: did you see the report from bank of america that in the last five months more money has flowed into stocks van in the last 12 years that money is emergency checks? >> i'm still working to replicate that data.

i'm not sure i'm coming in with the same kind of numbers. looking at equity mutual funds continues to lose assets, atf game, so they have a much better database and i have, but the reality is that there's a tremendous amount of liquidity out there that has not gone into the stock market yet, and so avoiding the controversy of what actually has gone out my would say there's plenty of firepower to get this market going higher. i call it rocket fuel in the problem with rocket fuel is its great when it take you straight up but occasionally if something goes wrong the whole thing can blow up and it's interesting for sure. stuart: ain't life interesting indeed. hold on a second. chris wallace, foxnews chris wallace called out transportation secretary pete buttigieg.

he made false claims about the number of jobs they have the structure plan would create. watch this. >> you as 19 million it's actually 2.7 million which is a bunch, but not what you said. >> is part of a scenario that moody says will create 19 million jobs, but the bottom line is it's going to add jobs and this is a direct reputation of people who are saying otherwise, so yeah you are correct i should be precise. the difference in jobs that particular analysis suggests is 2.7 million more, that is a great place to be. stuart: 19 million, 2.7 million, that's a huge difference. any comment on that, ed yardeni? >> you know, politicians are awfully good at claiming their policies are crating jobs. the reality is its companies, businesses

and proprietorships that create jobs in the problem is the government very often gets in the way of that. i'm actually impressed by how well the economy has recovered even on the employment front despite the meddling of the-- of washington. clearly lots of people need help here still with the pandemic, but at the same time the government benefits have been so generous that a lot of people just say not even going to look for a job until benefits run out and biden just extended until september , so i don't think any of them have a clue what their policies will do for the job market. the reality is if you leave us alone, business people and employers will create the jobs because we are short of skilled labor. stuart: they haven't a clue. that phrase will live forever. it will live forever. you are on videotape or

whatever it is. thanks, ed yardeni. checking the futures one more time. we are opening on a monday morning, down the side, but that's not a huge selloff. california teacher caught on zoom berating her students over the push for in person learning. watch this. >> dare them to come at me because i am so sick to my stomach of the parents trying to tell educators how to do their job. stuart: interesting comments and we will have more on that coming up on the show, guaranteed. showing you pfizer a new study claims the south african variance is able to quote breakthrough pfizer's vaccine. i will ask dr. matt mccarthy about that. he's on the show next. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪ you've got the looks ♪

recovery, you are expecting a boom. >> i would say this growth we are expecting in the second half of this year will be very strong. susan: six to 7% growth this year, something we haven't seen since the early 1980s. powell also says it's highly unlikely they will raise interest rates this year. one part of the interview reminded me of you when i was watching when they were talking about inflation at 20% in the late 70s, early '80s and they were saying there's a generation out there of young millennial's who have never seen inflation past three or 4% which is true. we are talking about higher yields based on rising prices and on a stimulus or enter the economy, that's something i would say hundreds of millions have not seen ever, but you have obviously paid that 20% mortgage rates during that time 30 years ago. one more point on the interview, i thought it was concerning when it jay powell said he was

surprised and confused by the $20 billion hedge fund blowup, i mean, shouldn't they be on top of this information as a central bank and the federal reserve as part of the mandate is to calm stock markets. stuart: i agree. that was a blip on the radar, blast on the screen and then went away rather quickly without huge damage. i think he wants to put it very much of the rear-view mirror without getting into it too much, i think. susan: 20% inflation. stuart: i do remember very high interest rates back when you don't. a new study from israel five the south african variant able to quote breakthrough pfizer's vaccine. dr. matt mccarthy joins us. could this be a serious problem, doctor? >> i saw the headline and it stopped me dead in my track, said breakthrough and that's a big problem so i read the study, the preprint.

it has not been peer-reviewed and it doesn't actually show that. the headlines don't represent within the study. this is not a trial where they followed people who got pfizer's vaccine and tell me were suddenly getting infected with the south african variance. it something different. we know in very rare cases people can get infected after vaccination and what they found was a handful of people who did get infected and it turned out to be with the south african variance. this is no cause for alarm. we know this appeared the thing to know with variance-- it's all very confusing but we can put them in three categories , variance of interest, variance of concern and a variance of high consequence. what we were really worry about is the high consequence variance that can evade our diagnostics, therapeutics and vaccines. we do not have any variance of high consequence in the world to get so this south

african variance is a variant of concern and the israeli study simply reinforces that, so the reporting on this is atrocious. there's no cause to think this is actually a breakthrough and in fact, the people in this a study actually got infected before they were fully vaccinated, so i am here to offer you assurance we don't have a problem with pfizer's vaccine a. stuart: thank you for that reassurance. one more item. georgia became the third state to shut down johnson & johnson vaccine sites as people were suffering adverse reactions so they shut it down. i don't know if that is right or wrong, but it surely puts people off getting the vaccine in the first place, doesn't it? >> it does. i hate to see this. we saw this back in december, with pfizer and moderna vaccine. people waiting this long lines and they get nervous and they start

to think about what's going to happen to them and then they get the vaccine and they start to feel nauseated or they feel a headache or their tommy hurts and it sets off literally a chain reaction with a person after them in the person after them starts to feel unwell. these are not real adverse reactions. if you're the person person running the vaccine site it's a tricky spot to be in a juicy people falling on the couch are acting as though something's wrong and you have to decide what to do. i would not close down a vaccine site because a dozen people felt lightheaded. if i stood in line for an hour and you gave me an ice cream cone i might feel lightheaded. it's not a reason to call it off. at these vaccines work, all three that are authorized, jj, pfizer and moderna. they aren't associated with serious adverse reactions and i strongly encourage people to go out and get the j&j vaccine. i recommended to my patients, family members

and friends. what we see here is a consistent phenomenon when a new vaccine is rolled out someone gets it, they don't feel well and it sets off a chain reaction. it's not a reason to dismiss the vaccine. j&j works and it's saved. stuart: you are giving us a heavy dose of reassurance this morning on pfizer and johnson & johnson and that is deeply appreciative dr. matt mccarthy, thank you. show me walgreens, please. stock is up a fraction. they announced they have given more than 11 million shots to date. they have also given vaccines and 49 states, dc in puerto rico and that is walgreens. more and vaccines, pfizer reports phase three clinical trials showed its vaccine safe 100% effective in 12 to 15 -year-olds. good news and they will ask that fda for emergency approval and

stuart: just joining us, a bit of bread inc. for the opening, but not that much. coinbase, the largest crypto currency exchange goes public wednesday. we have jeff sica on the phone. you think this is the most important ipo of the year, that's a big

statement. make your case. >> it is a big statement, but i think what we have, i mean, first of all because of the coin you have the crypto currency market is now $2 trillion, so this is a legit big market and coinbase is the largest exchange for crypto currency. they'd trade about 50 different crypto currencies, so what i see this as is a bridge between disruptive decentralized crypto currency market and the traditional market. this ipo will bring crypto currency to the forefront, take away some of the obscurity and allow people to invest in what i believe will be a very significant presence as an alternative currency in the future. stuart: jeff, suppose i already own a bitcoin, can i put that on

to coinbase and have them sell it for me and i get the proceeds and they get a commission? >> that's how it works, stuart. you can buy crypto currency. you can trade. most of the fees that coinbase makes our transaction fees, about 95% of their revenue comes from transactions, so this gives you the ability to not only transact business because keep in mind with crypto currency the goal is to be able to use it to purchase goods and services. you are allowed to do that. they have given opportunities to purchase throughout many many retailers nationwide. it's a very-- stuart: you major case with all eyes on wednesday, at what price doesn't go out and what price

they are buying nuance, an artificial speech and intelligence company, i got that, voice recognition, that's what i like. i understand it. susan: you can't type fast enough with two fingers so this 19 billion-dollar plus deal, $56 a share in this acquisition representing 23% premium new line/close right in the factor of trading up 20% shows the markets anticipate the deal will close of the largest acquisition for microsoft since linkedin in 2016. nuance helps transcribe, recognize voices for a lot of important things like doctor visits, customer service calls and voice mail and apple is rumored to be interested in nuance as well but the deal signifies that it will help augment microsoft's cloud business and that's a future for microsoft and they are willing to show and use that $100 billion in its

cash to buy tiktok, nuance or even discord has been rumored to. stuart: mi right in saying nuance is supposed of the best voice recognition technology of them all? >> is pretty good, i will say that, but we know other companies like apple and others have developed their own transcription and voice recognition, but this is the future and if you're getting 23% premium that shows it's a lucrative revenue stream. stuart: nuance at 53. i need you on alibaba. i know they got hit with a 2.8 billion $by china's regulators. you explain. susan: $2 billion, not a big deal for company that has $70 billion in cash on the balance sheets and their legal organizing their financial group in line with beijing demanded a party to the "wall street journal", still not as bad as some feared. there was a threat of a

breakup of the company, that's not it and we know big tech comedies like alibaba, not a big deal. remember when facebook had to pay the fcc $5,000,000,000.2 years ago and finds. stock prices just shake it off like you see with alibaba. stuart: 70 billion in cash and your find it to billion, you can walk away from that. susan: not material. stuart: how about uber, i think it's up, yes back to $60 a share. they reported record brooking-- looking for march with their best month for a ride sharing of services since march of last year. more states are easing restrictions and pulling out vaccines could uber back-to-back 60. we better look at tesla, 66, up $9. susan: tesla got an upgrade this

morning with thousand $71 in their view so that's roughly $400 more upside you get. saying tesla will dominate cocker the multitrillion dollar electric car market in their view and the battery supply constraints won't last past 2022. chipotle getting an upgrade this morning to outperform. also gamestop downgraded they are saying gamestop only worth $10 in their view. not a lot of people are shorting, should remind you because you mentioned some bank of america investor survey say $535 billion have gone into the stock market in the past five months, more than 12 years combined but if you look at the short interest this year, it's almost at a record low. no one is willing to bet against this market.

stuart: that tells the story. very few people betting the market goes down, lots of people betting the market goes up buying stocks with them massive influx of money. susan: what you think about the low-volume trade, last week was the lowest volume we has-- in fact friday was the lowest volume day since christmas eve. you need to find some catalyst to get interested in something with the rollout of greens-- earnings season that might be a catalyst the fear gays which is the it's been 14 months were virtually everyone on the market thinks we are only going up from here. stuart: all i can say is those earnings reports due in the next couple of weeks, they better be good because if they are not come i think you might see some selling. susan: coinbase i think will

ignite interest this week. stuart: i think it will. match and bumble are both online dating companies and received by ratings. both her up this morning we talked about this before, people searching for love during the pandemic. patch 146, bumble $62 a share. dow jones winners, dow incorporated at the top, goldmans and so is j.p. morgan. s&p, 500 stocks in that index ended those are the winners, apache, chipotle, marathon, energy stocks well represented. nasdaq winners, few and far between with a few, fox corporation of 1.7% and tesla 684, up 1.1%. overall, we have a minor league loss the dow jones off 26 points.

>> let's talk about packing. >> nonanswer. >> not my intention to court packing. >> you are open to expanding the court? >> i'm open to considering what happens from that point on. stuart: well, he has a commission on it and i will have more in the supreme court commission and who will sit on it coming up. some of the nation's top ceos aren't backing down from political activism. they are taking sides and we will tell you what they are doing. first, look at the golden gate bridge in san francisco. i used it to drive across that every morning years ago. wake-up california, it's time to go to work. we will be back. ♪♪ ♪♪

stuart: dozens of high-level executives from companies like paypal all the way to amc-- amc, they gathered up the weekend on the zoom to push voting legislation. which executives are we talking about? susan: we should note over the weekend the zoom, attended by over 120 ceos, corporate leaders and lawyers, starbucks a board chair linkedin founder and home depot founder and the owner of the atlanta falcons participating discussing measures to take opposing georgia's new voting law. they want to build on the lender they say is signed by 72 african-american executives released last week so they need this second statement could come this week. many signing on to this next statement read to the "wall street journal". state and federal lawmakers in the companies are misreading the matter and also

acting as a shadow lawmakers which they should not do but then you hear from the canned fraser's and others that instituted and really catalyzed the movement that we should not let up and that corporations should be speaking with their authorities. stuart: i would like to know exactly what they want to do about this, which at this moment to is unclear i want to bring in congressman jody hice from the state of georgia. tellis, what you had to say to these ceos, major-league public corporations which are taking a stand against you and your state? >> you know, it's preamble leave the ball. we all believe in the first amendment, the right of people to speak their opinions, but what is happening here-- we are recognizing voting is a fundamental right for american citizens, but cheating is not and the accusations that somehow we are creating

in georgia and other states restrictive voting rights is wrong. we are trying to prevent cheating from taking place and that is something that all americans should rally behind. stuart: how far is this going to go, yet high-level executives saying they don't want to invest over there and you can hire that group because we don't like them or whatever, where is this going >> it appears to me that we are watching a continuation of this whole cancel culture movement and if you do not agree with the radical left in this country, they will do everything to cancel you unfortunately, that is now playing out, it appears, even as these corporations gathered together to figure out what they can do to harm states that are trying

to pass laws to ensure fair and free elections for everyone and they are trying to cancel individuals who stand for the same thing and this is a frightening precedent, i believe, that's being established right now that is yet another example of a council culture movement. do away with everyone including states you disagree with. stuart: it used it to be that the gop, the republican party was solidly with major corporations and now there's this titanic split. republicans are no longer closely aligned with major corporations. does that were you? >> its stunning, i mean, what is it that the radical leftist socialist agenda has that these corporations like, i mean, they are about to watch their corporate tax rates increased drastically which means less profits for them, less a business as tax hikes go

up for the american citizen what is it these corporations like with the socialist agenda, i can't wrap my mind around it. is the republican party who believes in less taxes, more profits, expanding businesses in bringing business back to the united states and yet we continue watching so many of these corporations embrace the radical left. it's perhaps could be, but they are just afraid to stand against these things because they themselves are afraid of being wrapped up in the councilman themselves as so rather than risk being on the wrong side of the cancel movement they just walk along with it. i don't know what the issue is, but it certainly can't be financial decision. it's a disastrous decision to go along with this social-- socialist movement. stuart: congressman jody hice,

me about their profession and their opinion on their profession i would love to hear that. however, if your parent wants to come to me about how i'm not doing a good enough job in distance learning based on what you need as an individual, just dare them to come at me. because i am so sick to my stomach of parents trying to tell educators how to do their job. stuart: you know, them's fighting words from a california high school teacher, she was caught on camera there berating the students and parents. look at this one, randi winegarten, the head of the nation's second largest teachers union, eating with a group of teachers, no social distancing, got the mask, no social distance. can't do that in a classroom, can you? let's look at naomi schaefer riley, an education expert, frequent guest on this program.

i don't think the teachers union wants to go back to in-person learning, do you? >> gee, stuart, i don't know what gave you that idea. i too am sick to my stomach, i'm sick of all the hypocrisy. randi winegarten standing in front of five adults basically about to eat, going to take off their masks, the kids cannot do this. the kids are least likely to get covid any serious way. they don't want to go back to learning, go back to teaching or do their jobs. they're willing at kids, yelling at parents, how dare you criticize me. it is infuriating. stuart: look at this, from "the new york times." "the times" wants to know, does it hurt children to measure pandemic learning loss? wait a minute, naomi, why can't we test to see if there is some kids have been left behind? why can't we test? why can't we find out? >> you know, stuart, americans

are always going to be highest, we want our kids highest in self-esteem no matter what the cost in ignorance is. it is amazing. what will happen if we test, we'll find out how bad remote learning was, how little teachers were doing their jobs, how the kids once again who can least afford to be left behind, have been left behind by this lockdown and by the closure of schools. we have to measure in order to understand everything that has gone wrong and in order to understand what the kids need going forward. the idea we'll bury our heads in the sand, ignore test scores, that is many so how will get us out of this problem, it is insane. stuart: what do you think the proportion will be of kids who just walk away from, or are taken away from the public school system by their parents? what proportion? is it going to be 10%, 15%, 5%, what do you think it might be maybe a year or two from now? >> i know you saw basically, a

couple of million kids who have not been coming to school this year as far as we know. how many of those kids will return, we're not sure. i think you will see a at least a couple percentage points down in terms of the public school population. you definitely seen a big surge, 10 or 15% in homeschooling. but again, only a certain groups of people can afford to be able to do that. if you don't, if you do have a job, you know, you need that income in order to support your family, you can't be homeschooling. similarly, who will be able to afford private schools as an alternative? but kids going to be stuck in public schools are ones who least afford it, lost the most amount of learning this year. you could write off the entire year, more than a year now at this point as a total loss for them. stuart: do you know anywhere where remote learning is a major league success? >> so there have been a couple

of interesting initiatives. there was one called the national summer school initiative where they took master teachers from some of the best schools, a lot of high-performing charter schools in the country, and they set them up with teachers around the country and tried to teach them how to do remote learning better. i think that has seen some success but again you need to have teachers who really understand the technology, who are totally committed to doing this, working with kids in small groups, where there is already a strong curriculum in place. i mean there is a very high bar in order to get remote learning to work. so i don't think you're going to see widespread success from this. stuart: okay. naomi, come back to see us soon, please. this is ongoing catastrophe in my opinion. >> thank you. stuart: naomi schaefer riley. thank you very much indeed. to the markets again please. we still have some red ink but it is still not a major league selloff. we hit all-time highs for the dow and s&p last week a minor

amount that was jabbed over the weekend, five million doses in one day. that was impressive, don't you think? stuart: that's fantastic! it's a world peter, that is what it is. that is very good indeed. but then on the other side of the coin we have this new study that says the south african variant, can, quote, break through pfizer's vaccine. hold on a second. ash, i just talked to a major league doctor in the last hour who said this is not a problem. give me the story. ashley: yeah, dr. mccarthy says it is a little misleading not alarming. he says no cause for alarm. the israeli study he talks, compared 400 people who received at least one shot of the pfizer vaccine and contracted the virus, with the same number who were contracted.

disproportionately higher rate of south african variant vaccinated with the second dose, compared to the unvaccinated group. the researchers say it shows in their opinion the pfizer vaccine is less effective than the south african variant, compared to the original and yes, the british variant t also suggests that the south african variant to some extent is able to break through the vaccine's protection. they're quit to point out not to the full extent. which is interesting. as dr. mccarthy said this morning, no, no, wait a minute. the headlines are overplaying exactly what was found and he is not buying it as you know as you spoke to him. stuart: the stock is only down 11 cents. that tells you something too. ash, thank you very much. then we have this, did you see it. hideki mat spies uama making history at masters. could there be life on mars how

think about the universe. think of fleets, perhaps hundreds of drones scouring the entire planet, going to the polar ice caps, looking for potential landing sites. looking for potential areas where we could having a culture on mars. this is a game-changer. so this ingenuity flight is the first of a series of efforts to have a complete mapping of the surface of mars including the polar ice caps where we have never gone because it is simply too dangerous to land on the polar ice caps. if you could find life, microbe life may be frozen in the ice. stuart: that is what we're getting at here, will we find life on another planet. are we close? do you have a opinion on it? >> well there is a theory, i'm not sure i believe it, that says, mars cooled off before the earth, therefore perhaps life started as dna on fares, and a

meteor blew some of the dna to earth and seeded the earth. if you want to look at a martian tonight look in a mirror. stuart: [laughter]. i want to get back to the helicopter. that is what we're talking about that is really happening that seems to be to me, an engineering marvel. i don't know what the gravity vision is on on mars, i don't know what the atmosphere is like. put a helicopter on the planet, that seems to be an absolute engineering marvel, right? >> that's right. those blades spin five times faster than a braid on the earth. the atmosphere is so thin, only 1/10 of a percent of the atmosphere here on earth. it is an engineering miracle to put the craft together so efficiently and quickly, because the atmosphere is too thin to support a large helicopter on a space probe.

stuart: is american engineering in space ahead of everybody else? >> yes. there were three probes that went to mars. the one from the united arab emirates, one from china, and of course one from nasa and of the three of course the nasa probe beats all the competition hands down. we're number one. stuart: when that helicopter takes off will it be able to transmit video of what it is seeing to us on earth? >> well it has two cameras by which it can then survey the land but remember it is only a 40-second flight. later it will have maybe a 90-second flight. and huger missions may eventually carry fleets of these helicopters. right now this is only a test, just a test of proof of principle that we in fact have drones on the red planet. stuart: we find it fascinating,

legislative action? executive action on change the constitution? >> i guess joe biden defined himself, stu, as a bone headed move. it is a gahn at that sy you cannot increase -- fantasy you cannot increase the supreme court unless you kill the filibuster in the senate and they don't have the votes to do that. if they want to limit the number, limit the time and tenure of justices that would have to be done through a constitutional amendment, 2/3 vote. and though don't have the votes for vote. americans have been against court packing. a bad idea. look at any of the polling data. biden and his confederates in the white house are trying to be terribly clever here. we'll not call it court packing. we'll caught it court reform. that is just a euphemism, it is word play and nobody is buying

it. the other thing, stu, they packed the commission to study packing the court. the commission members they selected tilt far to the left. so it is pretty clear mere that biden has decided to join the progressive woke crowd, egged on by his vice president kamala harris. stuart: i think it personally is indeed a bonehead idea. the supreme court is a great institution of the united states of america and it is respected. you politicize its membership entirely, you change it for political reasons, and the court, in my opinion loses credibility. what say you? >> oh, absolutely t would do enormous damage. eroding the trust people have in the third branch of government that was designed to be as you point out, stu, separate and independent and you know, americans believe in what the founders believed.

that the third branch of government should aback stop against abuse of power, government excess, really sort of bad ideas that trend to trifle with constitutional rights and it has always been that way. look if you add members, what happens when the party in power loses power and the other party decides, all right, we're going to retract those members, or we're going to add even more to balance it out? then you have got a net effect on the law which it is whipsawed back and forth. somebody may be lawful and constitutional one year is suddenly unlawful and unconstitutional the next. and you know, americans don't want that. so you know, this is going nowhere fast, although biden has nicely granted a gift to republicans. they're going to use this in the midterm elections and beyond against democrats.

with strings on the money, can be indirectly used together money to people in this country illegally, as the border states and the federal government are spending a lot of money on this in the immigration crisis at the border the washington post reviewed government data that the biden administration is spending $60 million a week to shelter undocumented immigrants that stewarded $56 million a month at this pace representative ashley on the house of a creation committee said the president and vice president need to make a trip to the border and talk firsthand with border agents to see what is actually happening. >> the cartels are the ones that are winning this war and until they see that in here that firsthand for the people who are experiencing it, for them it's truly out of sight out of mind. >> vice president kamala harris has been tasked by the president to handle the border crisis although the administration not calling it a crisis but it boils down to money and the amount of money being spent on or given to undocumented workers.

stuart: you sent a letter to the president, 300 shares were on board, have you heard back from the president questioning. >> we have not, this letter was signed by 300 chairs across this nation who every day have their boots on the ground and see firsthand was going on and we hope that the president will take a hard look at this, bring the sheriff sent to listen to what we have to say because as i said the policies are reckless, he knows it and he could've predicted it before he did it. stuart: what you really want is for the mass migration from central america to north america to stop. , that's what you want isn't it. >> absolutely that's exactly what should happen where a country of laws and the president took the same oath that the emergent chairs did across this country and he needs to uphold his oath and keep the promise to america's people and want to continue to do, we have asked the american people to join with america sheriff's and

protect america now.com because we want to make sure that we stand and that the public stands with us as we encourage this president to do the right thing. stuart: i am in the media and being driven crazy, remember all the media people screaming about kids in cages and they would not drop it, now absolute quiet, not even a demand to go when see firsthand those facilities overcrowded at the border, this is driving me nuts, how about you sheriff. >> i've been down to the border four times and i saw those kids in cages when the obama administration created them. this is outrageous for them to remain quiet, not be honest with the american people in the situation now with 4000 children in a facility that only his supposed house 250 is inhumane

as it gets, the president vice president are intentionally ignoring it because they want open border policies. stuart: sheriff, thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. we want to get back to if and when you ever hear from the president from the united states. back to the market a huge movement in stock prices this morning we moderated it, the dow is down 70, the nasdaq down 66. show me salesforce. they're gonna start bringing back vaccinated workers to some of their offices, this will be on a voluntary basis, the first office to reopen will be in san francisco next month, the stock is down 1.5%. let's get to costco they will reopen outdoor seating at their food course, take out only for more than a year costco $362 per share, they are a pandemic winner. one of my favorite things about costco the dollar 50 hotdog deal

a dollar and 50 cents for a hot dog with a drink. i'm told there could be hotdog shortage, say it ain't so. ashley: i'm afraid so were talking about stu vardy and ashley webster's main food group item hotdogs and bacon hotdogs have been an short supply for more than a year ago, now you can expect higher prices for food like hotdogs and bacon as restaurants reopen in the summer barbecues fire up the problems are being blamed on the effect of last year's disruption the squeeze on supplies and increasing pent-up demand for meat products all pushing prices higher and you can expect fewer discounts. consumers beware you may want to stock up when you find a good deal much like toilet paper and other items during the pandemic. but this time it is hotdogs and

bacon. stuart: don't forget spam i was brought up on it you were brought up on it, there is nothing wrong with spam. ashley: nothing. stuart: i think we have to move on, now this this is huge 4.6 million covid jobs were administered on saturday, however, production problems are threatening to slow down the vaccine rollout, we will explain that the uk lifted lockdowns at the stroke of midnight, watch this. >> three, two, one, ladies and gentlemen take your seats, have your first drink. stuart: the race to the pub they rushed in for their newfound freedom, look who's going to cover it nigel for for our gonna talk to him about that and of course harry. we'll be right back. ♪

funeral meghan markle will not attend. nigel is with us is morning. did the brits welcome prince harry back to new england. >> of course because of lockdown and lack of crowds, there is not of a reaction into judge. but i will say perhaps it's a good thing that meghan markle is pregnant because that gives her a good reason not to come because i don't think it would be very good. as for harry the grandson obviously so he has to be there. but i do think the shocking truth is that they knew that he was on his deathbed, they knew he only had a few weeks to live and yet they still carried on with the interview which was a direct attack and allegations being thrown around the place. the more people realize that the more dim view they take a both of them frankly. stuart: what's the chances of any appealing of the breach

between harry and his older brother the future king and harry and his father prince charles. >> when you're born into the royal family you're born is a great privilege but you're also born into duty and i think the whole family feels and after all terry's life, he's allowed to do this but he turned his back on duty and the whole family find that and comprehensive. and philip for 70 years has been the queen's counsel and never once complained, harry has chosen his new life, there is no way back, as for reconciliation i would think they would be very difficult. stuart: as of midnight last night we were showing video hubs, nonessential shops back in business, the country is expected herd immunity today, to me this contrast the uk

reopening in the brits going back to work in the pub other european nations are still in heavy-duty lockdown does not vindicate requisite. >> oh my goodness gracious, it meant the decision about vaccine programs taken in our own country by people directly elected by us, and brussels a woman from cyprus with a degree in psychology who had not been elected was the person to organize the vaccine rollout and it is a disaster. i'll just say one thing obviously this is sad for the people of europe because it means thousands, tens of thousands more people will die then should've died. but politically it justifies brags it in the most astonishing way. there is no going back in the uk where brexiteers, and validates

it, justifies it in a most astonishing way. stuart: we should video a couple of minutes ago of the people rushing into the pubs last night as restrictions were removed. one thing i noticed in the pub all the youngsters were still wearing the big heavy jackets, it took me back to the days when i lived there because the pubs were always cold there's no such thing as central heating, looks like it's still the same. >> the pubs are open but we cannot drink inside pubs we can only drink outside pubs and across much of the uk it's been a very cold day. so it's a partial reopening that were headed in the right direction a lot more optimism because of the successful vaccine rollout and i think with this and brags enter brexit. stuart: what is draft red barrel, that was awful beer 50 years ago, is it still around.

know in very rare cases people can get infected after vaccination what they found a handful of people who did get infected and it turned out to be with the south african variant, this is no cause for alarm, we know this. stuart: i will call them pretty good news pfizer stock still stuck at $36 a share, it's been there forever. starting today anyone over the age of 16 can get the job in illinois. grady trimble is there at the massive vaccination site, are you seeing any young people? >> i am, i've been to a lot of the vaccination sites throughout the rollout of the vaccine and i have to say is quite noticeable there's a younger demographic coming in today as eligibility expands to 16 and up and it's safe to estimate by the end of this week across the country more than half of adults in this

country will have received one vaccine shot, here at cook county health one of the people in charge of this operation and were seen more and more young people come in to get vaccinated. >> absolutely were definitely seen that today and parents coming in with her 16 and 17-year-old in line, very different from what we would've seen a couple weeks ago or last week. stuart: i when asking about the johnson & johnson vaccine something you are just riveting but you're not getting any of it this week because of the production issues in baltimore, what is the situation. >> that is correct were not expected to receive any johnson & johnson this week or next week, however, we received enough of pfizer in moderna keep our max vaccination for the coming weeks. the availability from our vaccination sites will be at capacity. stuart: that is good news and something we might not have expected as recently of a few

making of the ultrahigh and for tom brady. stuart: well over two and a half million dollars for that rookie card, how about lebron james, there is another one signed but this is also one of 99 created is that correct? >> correct 2003 lebron james known as an rpa on a grade of nine out of ten, i hate to use the word twice but this is the holding grill of basketball cards it will probably break the record for the most valuable basketball card of all time it's a card that we expect for over $2,000,000.9 on this card is a very high grade and for all of lebron james cards this is the number one most desirable. stuart: i want to move on to soccer i believe you have christiana renaldo's rookie card, i did not know much about

soccer cards back in england when i was living there but how much is this one going to go for. >> the last one was 237,000 and we expect this one to exceed so 250,000 possibly more, it is a grade of a psa ten which means is perfect in every way the highest grade rookie you can possibly get. stuart: how about diego, a lot of our american viewers will not know his name he is deceased he passed away quite recently he was an argentine brilliant soccer player well known around the world what is that rookie card going for. >> they would be considered the two vintage all-time grades and we expect that to exceed $100,000 it would not shock me if it went triple it's a very rare card in soccer is a hot

the weekend. all of these and many more available at golden auctions go to golden auction.com and you'll see a wide selection especially for the fans of all sports it used to be only baseball but now soccer and basketball as well as many of the sports, we just set a record with the golf cart as well it's opened up to a global bidding in a global universe trading cards. stuart: you're in the right business and i'm glad you're on the show golden auctions.com if you want to bid, go right ahead. thank you very much for being with us. >> thank you for having me. >> shall be the sports betting stocks, they are all down significantly this morning, show me casino stocks, we just learned that atlantic city casinos lost 80% of the profits, even with the lockdown they still managed to make a collective 170 billion, not all bad but the stocks have taken a hit, las vegas by the way could

become the first state to ban glass, wake up are they talking about marijuana or what. >> i was just there, we're just looking up, you know me too well. stuart: you did not hear. ashley: go ahead. stuart: i was asking is las vegas banning grass and i said what kind of grass are you talking about, oriental grass. ashley: not marijuana oriental grass, then nobody works on, the city of las vegas said that type of grass that you're looking at requires four times as much water as drought tolerant landscaping like cactus, we know cactus can survive on basically nothing but by repeating out they estimate the region can reduce annual water consumption by 15% and save 14 gallons per person per day. that is a lot, last year this is

amazing but it is a desert they gets went to 240 days without measurable rainfall in the city want state law lawmakers to ban the ornamental grass you see the commentary by homeowners association and commercial property owners. what are you going to do, rip it all up and putting cactus. there you go. stuart: i thought it was astroturf or a minute. thank you, of the trivia question, here is the question what percentage of the world currency actual physical money, the answer after this. the gold standard, so to speak ;) . .
