stuart: it is irrelevant to daily life but which president had a pet hyena? theater result, james buchanan, benjamin harrison, your first. ashley: teddy roosevelt, number one. stuart: lahren. lauren: james buchanan, number 3. stuart: i will go with rutherford b hayes. it is theodore roosevelt. the emperor of ethiopia, 1904, roosevelt was not fond of hyenas describing them as cowardly animals. at the national zoo, now you know. that is it for "varney and company". 19 seconds before we can move on. thank you so much for the fine week of work. you were brilliant on monday morning.

see you all next week, three seconds, coast to coast starts now. neil: goldilocks breaking into someone's home and investors in the stock market, what do they have in common? they both landed on something just right. goldilocks taking off some bears after breaking into their home and investors taking off some different bears after breaking apart their argument. i would safely. and they are more than just right. and chase away those fearing, and powers those who think stocks, they were not. goldilocks wasn't about to push their luck when bears got home. investors think to themselves very much at home. you don't know how much i worked on forcing these

analogies. had some ideas why it might be it could be a goldilocks moment for the market. >> goldilocks can check her 401(k) today. neil: you are good, young man. with the markets loving this jobs report. and the federal reserve chairman wants to see, when it was last year. and 4.2% month over month. and that it was start of workers losing ground, out passing inflation.

>> it translates the nor basis, the retirement security. it is that the end of the workday. and translate into real gains. in every single community. >> wages are down 2.4%, and it was reflected in paul numbers, steve more, this is what president biden must overcome. >> inflation is up 20%, and it is up 17%. >> markets really like this report. and rising inflation.

and that shows inflation coming back. neil: we can grin and bear it. what a nice job. ted wiseberg is a bear, nothing to do with the markets. the corner of wall and broad. talked to so many run ups and run downs. this employment report crystallized. using this as ammunition to calm everyone down. >> when it comes to the economy. >> not bad moves, the reinforce the ability of the fed to drive interest rates a little bit.

the market wants to see this. this scenario going back to last november, the rally we've been experiencing, november or december, cut in march, 5 times, 6 times. for the most part quite frankly it is still wishful thinking. neil: you don't see cuts coming soon. >> cuts are possible. it is weird we are all rooting for a weaker economy and it will give the fed of platform to lower rates. on the other hand, the white house says the economy is great and we are rooting for a week economy. lauren: 1 might rethink this.

if wage growth is slowing just a tad and it should slow, job growth is slowing, this was the slowest the job increase we've seen in 5 or 6 months. the fed has room to move, like you say i move would indicate you are addressing something slowing get. >> they have predicted some rate cuts. didn't see how many and when and we are now into may so we are looking at the early summer for the next opportunity. and the fed is political, it is possible to see rate cuts. lauren: 1 with the response be? i am told that is what they want to see.

couldn't the reality of that, we shouldn't be like this. >> opportunity to sell the good news. the market is forward-looking go, you see that going through the earnings period. topline, bottom-line, guidance. it is the guidance which is forward-looking. neil: how does it look to you so far? >> companies with week guidance, look at meta last week. great top line, great bottom line and they punish the stock. apple and amgen and apple with the giant buyback. that is all forward-looking. apple stock, need to keep that

in mind, as far as interest rates, got to depend on what surrounds it. the economy looks like it will be in trouble. that could be a negative. neil: i don't see it in the trouble stage. >> the market has been remarkable. neil: talking about the economy. >> it is on balance terrific. as far as the stock market, it is all earnings, the fed will do what they want to do. they have been terrific and the market, almost defies description climbing the proverbial worry. the answer is yes, you have the middle east, you have ukraine, what's going on in the colleges, dysfunction here. you can make a great case, and

that is what the short-term treasuries satisfy because you can purchase short-term treasuries. to sleep at night. neil: that is a nice thing to have the job is good seeing you. he is an institution. he's the real article there. touched on the other noise for the markets, this has been every day, got a new update on this. the new york police department called nyu to deal with this encampment. madison alworth in the middle of it. >> reporter: behind me is where the encampment stood a couple hours ago. it has been completely cleared here, starting at 6:00 a.m. nypd moved into this encampment with zip ties and started to arrest protesters. they were illegally trespassing

for one week. in less than an hour the nypd clear the area of protesters and that's when cleaning crews got to work. nearby, they moved in on and encamped at the new school. across the two schools, 56 arrests were made. consequences for a movement being pushed online through social media as reported last night. >> it is propaganda, social media, students already passionate and upset about an issue. we should take over building or something like that. younger minds in that state, it's pretty easy, somebody who is a professional at manipulation. >> reporter: the idea to building cabins to occupy spaces all coordinated online. crimethink.com which is used as as a hub for anarchist indent either activist and described

itself as a rebel alliance has recently published lessons on how to protest on-campus. those occupation lessons include, quote, you don't need to convince everyone before the occupation. everyone knows the situation. just need to start a party and that quote, when you take a building don't immediately hold a meeting, that's a mistake, start changing the space, repairing and remolding it for your desires. many of the protesters we've talked to have said a lot of the reviews on the israel/hamas war have been shaped by social media, instagram, tiktok and websites like the one i just described and what they are hearing in classrooms. neil: they can be influenced by a lot of things. she has been awesome covering these developed in this crazy week. i suspect it is getting crazier including in virginia where the lieutenant governor, former marine, kind enough to join us. good having you.

you 've had these dustups over at virginia tech that have gotten out of control but you did see more than 2000 folks arrested. spread everywhere. what do you think of this, how widespread this gets? >> reporter: we are not doing crazy in virginia. the people understood that you have to have moral law and order and people have to be safe in their neighborhoods and that is why you are seeing governor youngkin has get cracked down and said you are not putting down the first 10 peg, you can peaceably assemble, exercise your first amendment rights but we are going to ensure that jewish students are safe, that their parents know they are safe and the minute you decide you're going to turn a supposedly peaceful protest into violence, you've got to go. we are seeing professionals who have come into virginia that have been arrested.

today we have, the students and the professionals who came are going to be arraigned today as well as those at tech and we are not having it. people need to know their safety, we are not having it. neil: a number of schools have tried to negotiate with protesters, northwestern, brown, rutgers, various methods where they say we will put up a measure to put up more votes whether winterfest in israeli companies, that's a popular one, that is what they are doing, northwest, a couple other things but basically, what do you think of that? >> what i think is these college university professors and leaders and president need to get a grip of what is going on on campuses, you are seeing

a takeover, you are supposed to take authority and keep everyone safe, you don't negotiate with people who are destroying buildings, you don't negotiate with people you see them showing up with helmets, showing up with gas masks, we have seen in virginia where you have pickup trucks dragging off rocks and sticks, bear sprays and all of that, police are assaulted. have we not learned anything? we need not week leaders. we need leaders who understand your first job is to make sure campus is safe for everyone. neil: you are saying president biden is saying to the effect dissent is healthy but protest must be lawful, that doesn't cut it. he's got to say something stronger. how would you advise him? >> finally our president has showed up because when all of

this started he was absent. this is normal for him. he has been absent at the border. i went to the border recently and i can tell you they are not telling us the truth. you have people who have been raped. there are such places as rape trees, that folks trying to come across illegally and they are being raped there. children taken from their parents as they are coming across by the cartels, we are not safe. we need a president who's going to be showing up so president biden is finally saying peaceful protests are one thing but violent protests will not be tolerated. should have said that a long time ago. neil: late better than never. the lieutenant governor getting a lot of national attention.

light 'em up! gentlemen, it's a beautiful... ...day to fly. hi, i'm jason and i've lost 202 pounds on golo. so the first time i ever seen a golo advertisement, i said, "yeah, whatever. there's no way this works like this." and threw it to the side. a couple weeks later, i seen it again after getting not so pleasant news from my physician. i was 424 pounds, and my doctor was recommending weight loss surgery. to avoid the surgery, i had to make a change. so i decided to go with golo and it's changed my life. when i first started golo and taking release, my cravings, they went away. and i was so surprised. you feel that your body is working and functioning the way it should be and you feel energized. golo has improved my life in so many ways. i'm able to stand and actually make dinner.

i'm able to clean my house. i'm able to do just simple tasks that a lot of people call simple, but when you're extremely heavy they're not so simple. golo is real and when you take release and follow the plan, it works. neil: apple has done nicely. it was a earnings revenue report, 110 billion shares back, you do the math and realize -- susan is following this closely on the fallout. susan: when you have the deep pockets of apple you can afford the buybacks. as for the quarter itself you did see better earnings to start the year. it added $200 billion in market because of what's happening

with stock buybacks and china doing better in the guidance from tim cook, up 7% on the day so far. wall street is relieved to they are not as bad as feared. it actually did better than forecast. apple ceo tim cook gave some guidance that we expected low single digit during the quarter with year-over-year basis announcing stock buyback and cook says given confidence, the board has authorized an additional $110 billion share repurchases and raising the dividend. it helps when you have $260 billion in cash on hand as apple does, to put one hundred $10 billion in context, it is

monster rests, larger than the average size of an s&p 500 company and bigger than boeing or even dear in their market gap. it is helping to put better numbers, the most competitive market in the world, no doubt about it. it continues to be if you look at how we did on iphone, extraordinary supply disruption from a year ago, actually grew, there were reports apple losing to local competitors, i have been down by 1/5 to start this year but wall street has a lot of relief, 7 price target hikes, morgan stanley calling 216, 20% upside for the stock but it's not all roses, there were some down arrows, iphone sales dropped 10% from a year ago and analysts are hoping may be these new ai features might

reignite more excitement in this year's iphone cycle. cook didn't elaborate, with ipad release in a few days and software will start at the beginning of june where you can imagine there will be a ton of new ai announcements. neil: that of the charm. if you attach yourself to ai, just see what happens. >> reporter: in the future, it could all just to be ai. neil: we don't want to push our luck. it is a double-edged sword. and that, we've got gary count bomb --kaltbaum. it is interesting the more firms that announce ai, spending a lot of money on it,

could be hell to pay. meta found that, they want to know where is the bang for the buck, they are spending the bucks. how do you see this phenomenon sorting out with key players. >> i hope it is not equated to 99 where companies add enough dot.com to their name to goose their stocks. they change from technology fund to internet fund and when internet crashed they changed it back to the technology fund. i've seen press conferences after earnings where companies mention ai 50 to 100 times so there are pretty good marketing going on but we have no doubt there's a lot of spending going on with ai. meta-paid a penalty for how much to spend on other companies. you get the juice because of the semiconductor. i think the jury is out.

i worry about too much noise. i hope it is big stuff because a lot of areas of the tech market will do well going forward. neil: they are not as pricey as would seem, multiples going forward to earnings and always seem to be improving on a rapid pace. they are not obscene. what do you make of that? >> it depends. if nvidia comes out with the numbers they say the earnings multiple comes down. with apple, i'm more worried, trading 26 times earnings when it averaged 15 to 18 and they have no growth and the word the shareholders. stock has done nothing in 28

months, human nature wind him cook took over and realized we got to pay their shareholders and it's good to have $110 billion to spend and that's 4.5% of the 7% gain for apple. it is a good move. they are cash generating machine that generate more cash, i am sure bernie sanders will yell and scream it should be for the employees but apple gets to do what they want to do. neil: we will see what happens. don't know if any of you saw inspiring news out of young people, the usa chanting going on at rutgers and the other at unc when they were raising the flag, fraternity brothers who are behind that are realizing ago fund me bonanza, showing their patriotism.

♪ and the home of the brave. ♪ julie: you catch that two different universities, some inspiring actions on the part of young people who have had enough of rutgers where they began chanting usa after efforts to raid the palestinian flag at the university of north carolina. some fraternity guys got to gather. and show some gratitude to this country, two principal players in that. brendan is a student along with his friend trevor land. they set up a go fund me page,

half $1 million, people inspired from all walks of life. good to have you with us. >> thanks for having us. neil: we have a bit of a delay. i want your take on - you didn't have to do this. a lot of pressure not to do this but you did. why? >> it is easy to have your values at a university but they become real when you have diversity in your face and we went out there with the idea that these are values and no matter what people say or how scared you might be and what we believe in. neil: this go fund me page,

hoping benefit fraternities did stuff like this protecting the flag, respecting the flag. more than 9,000 people donated in the first 12 hours, half $1 million raise, did you expect anything like that? >> i can't say is that we did. we are grateful and appreciative for all the support and money we raised. however, what we are excited about his we launched a new initiative, a nonprofit to help in a way that goes back to causes that are important to us, whether it be for policemen and charlotte who were killed in the line of duty or soldiers and other causes that are important to those involved in this and those who stood up with that.

neil: the more go fund me page shutdown, the original inspiration, let's have a party to celebrate the fact, all of this charitable giving, but what has been the reaction to other members and what they want to do. >> a lot of media presence, the most important thing is to make an impact. a lot of fraternity members are very upset about what's going on and the biggest thing people are talking about to find better ways to deal with this problem on campus and you want to find a way through and that comes together. that turned violent and aggressive. neil: any time you don't get

it, these protests have a reason, we don't like what you are doing, do you run anything like that? >> i don't think we have. a legal right to do what they did. the israeli and american flags, the first thing that has come out of this is faculty, students, and administration have stood behind us and alongside us in support of what we have stood for, to make it a safe place for jews. neil: you are a remarkable young man. i apologize for technical difficulties and the significant delay. it was not on purpose. would enjoyed having you on and sure it's going to be a good future for both of you. we want to keep you up to date

neil: i am sure most of you got your taxes done in time for tax day but you might not be done with the taxman. the irs announcing plans to audit more americans than ever. the focus is on those earning $40,000 a year, the million and overcrowd the, to press more money from them and look their returns closely. look at the significance of all that, they have been warning us about that, the usual line, if you're paying taxes, doing what you should be doing, paying what you should be paying, nothing to worry about. what do you think? >> very true. tax sheets should be concerned because they are the problem. you are supposed to pay the appropriate amount of tax. when we come off of that, when you get audited, audit is painful no matter how you look

at it, nobody wants to go through that. keep in mind the irs is looking at return on investment. that roi is what they focus on. at this point it has been to the tune of 90% of their audits focused on those making get less than 400,000. why would they do that? those taxpayers don't have the resources of wealthier taxpayers meaning they can hire representation and the effect of that is it takes the irs longer to get through these audits. when there is that low hanging fruit you know you can go in, get money and move on, that has been the objective to this point. neil: a couple weeks ago, they are not targeting that, but if he said, you will be discovered

as well. when it comes to the very rich, there isn't straight income. it could be capital gains, investments all over the world and questionable schemes. hard to track down. hard to audit. what do you think of the success rate? >> that is the point. those tax returns are quite complex, that's where the money is, the money, irs agents that are very knowledgeable and well-trained. what's happening with the increase in these audits relates to the increase in resources that the irs has received from the inflation reduction act to the tune of $80 billion over ten years. they do have more funding to do this but it is not as easy to

say we will hire these people and send them to work on these complex returns, doesn't work that way. it will take a why all for this program to ramp up. it is popular to say get these rich tax sheets, not so easy to do. neil: next year the trump tax cuts go away unless they are extended but what do you tell clients and those who you work with? >> it is interesting because now you start to get into election prediction and the way i see it, in order for those trump tax cuts to stay in place, you have to have a republican in the white house and a republican congress. if you have split government those tax cuts are going to sunset. what i'm looking at his we need

to start thinking about what it looks like going back to the pre-trump tax cuts and how do we start planning for that because there's more likelihood that that happens, some level of split government. of that to me is the better bet and how you have to plan. neil: they could go away but we will watch it closely. thank you very much. appreciate it. i want to take you to seattle with more news out of boeing that another whistleblower has died. >> reporter: boeing has a lot of issues but this is not one of the best of these two whistleblowers, they are unrelated except both men worked on boeing play deadens and alleged a shoddy work was being done, joshua dean died of a staph infection after a two week flight. he was employed by spirit aerosystems, boeing supplier that makes the fuselage of the 737 max plains. he was fired by spirit a year

ago, claimed it was retaliation for him pointing at a manufacturing defect in 2022. spirit issued the statement saying our thoughts are with josh dean's family, the sudden loss is stunning news at spirit and for his loved ones. john barnett worked on the dreamliner at charleston, south carolina, the day before he was to give a deposition in his whistleblower suit against boeing, he was found in his truck with a single gunshot wound, charleston police have ruled a suicide. the deaths come as boeing is facing scrutiny following the door plug blowout in january, 737 max 9. there are multiple investigations of that incident including a criminal probe by the justice department which sent letters to all the passengers on that flight saying they may have been victims of a crime. the ntsb issued a primary finding the door plug had been taken off for unrelated repair

and reinstalled, boeing is facing legal jeopardy over those two fatal crashes of the 737 max 8 in 2018-19. the justice department to decide whether to drop criminal charges against the company, boeing has paid out 2. $5 billion in fines, penalties and lawsuits. some families of the victims want boeing get tried for a crime. only one boeing employee, a test pilot, was put on trial and he was acquitted by a jury. neil: thank you very much. keep you up to date on the hush money trial going on. this is day 11. one thing that is interesting, a number of polls ask americans how would you feel if donald trump were convicted on any of these charges.

adam: day 11 of the hush money trial, we are told she was very nervous, talking about former boss at the time. if donald trump is convicted of these charges, a poll in the new york post and other places, it would tighten the race up somewhat, doesn't mean president biden is not a beneficiary, barry goldwater junior joins us right now. 1969 to 1983, the son of arizona senator barry goldwater, in 1964. good to see you again. what do you make -- let me ask a little bit about what you

think the trial's impact, legal issues with donald trump could have looking at the polls, not much but you know >> trump will win, that's what i think. the vote will be against biden because of his lack of good leadership. this country is desperately needing strong leadership, and we're not getting it from joe biden. and i think that will yield to the benefit of trump regardless of what happens. if. neil: you know, barry, you and i have hatted -- chatted about this before, i think of your dad, and had he waited to run four years later is and had we experienced the things we're experiencing now, he might have had a different outcome than the blowout of 1964 when lyndon johnson won. but what do you make of this environment today and the law and order issues that donald trump is raising to address what's going on today? >> you know, if you look historically, neil, when there

is unrest in this country, it historically has always been an in-kind contribution to the right, to mostly republicans. if you remember ronald reagan in 1966 ran against the free speech movement -- neil: right, right. >> -- and pledged to clean up berkeley, and then you had nixon ran on law and order. and ronald reagan sent in the troops, and anytime you have strong leadership and that's unrest -- there's unrest, republicans tend to benefit. neil: so you think that could be happening now? you know, donald trump has been pounding that theme that we've got law and disorder going on in this country, and he would put a stop to that. he would not allow these kids to do what they've done to the american flag and to just blast the united states or talk of anti-semitism and worse that he sees running rampant. what do you think of that? if. >> well, our universities are a

place for education not for violence. and and it's sad that our administrators of these universities, our chancellors and the presidents aren't taking charge and bringing and doing can something about that. i recall back in 1970 when i first ran for congress, we had uc-santa barb with rah -- barbara riots where they burnt down a bank of america -- neil: right. >> -- a student was shot. and you remember one out of the past who jumped up on top of a sound truck and pulled out the speaker wires and told the students to go back to class. [laughter] neil: i remember that, right. >> he was elected to the united states senate. so we've been through difficult times before, but it's taking -- we need strong leadership in this country. and i think, i think the american people want that because they're the looking for

somebody that's going to stand up and take charge and show leadership. we don't have that with biden or even the left. neil: if you know, you are your state of arizona a, what's been happening is the arizona governor shooting down this 1864 law that had essentially made abortion what it was, illegal, so it's caused, you know, a very tough issue back and forth. real quickly, very quickly, do you think that's a weak issue for republicans, that they're in trouble on it? >> i don't think so. neil: okay. >> i think most people believe that life is sacred. somehow with we need to do whatever we can to protect it. abortion is a divisive issue, and i think there are more important issues that we have to deal with this year such as inflation and the border, what have you. neil: okay. >> sos it is an issue, but i don't think it's going to be that strong this year. neil: go
