10:01 am
eagerly awaiting that. that's the song. that is the white house. good morning. 10:00 eastern time. let's get to the many, still seeing get green, down one hundred 78, nasdaq one hundred 30, the 10 year treasury yield is down back to 4.08%, the nasdaq liked that. the price of oil $78 a barrel this morning and bitcoin holding onto it gains a, $67,180 as of now. now this. it's going to be a rematch. either going to be debates? absolutely says donald trump. anywhere anytime anyplace. president biden, peter doocy did ask karine jean-pierre. >> now that the field is down to two's president biden going to commit to a debate with donald trump? >> that something for the campaign to speak to. >> we know when the debates are
10:02 am
going to be, where they are going to be. is he going to go? >> you should speak to the campaign. >> in 2,020 want to got down to one on one president biden said i can hardly wait to debate. how about that? >> you should reach out to the campaign. stuart: they are not too keen on debates and we all know why. biden is not fast on his feet. can't speak with her prompter and notecards which are due date -- debate with a dynamic and articulate donald trump would be a disaster. his handlers will do anything to avoid that. they will be taking a big risk if they said no to any debate at all, that would confirm the fear that biden is not up to it. tv debate since 1960 richard nixon lost to john f. kennedy. ronald reagan beat president carter with that put down there he goes again. four years later he knocked out
10:03 am
walter mondale when he said he would not exploit his opponent's youth and inexperience, that brought the house down. it ended mondale's campaign. with biden it's not a 1-liner from trump, it's the idea that for 90 minutes he would have to stand, speak clearly and defend his dismal record. when the state of the union message is over tonight we should have a better idea of whether he is capable of debate. second hour of varney is just getting started. stuart: kaylee mickey white joins us, do you think biden will debate donald trump? >> i don't think he will and i think it's because of this. is any lose/lose situation. he doesn't debate, his concerned about mental acuity will increase but if he does debate, the concerns about his mental acuity are also going to
10:04 am
increase. either way, he's going to lose in this situation but the calculus for the biden campaign is to mitigate the damage and the best way to do that is by preventing biden from getting on that stage and this is something they've already communicated that they are going to do. there's a reason he didn't do the softball super bowl interview with tens of millions of viewers where he would not be ask hard questions. there's a reason most of his campaign events have been private events with a small group of donors. he's done few rallies at met with very few of voters the voters in public because the campaign is trying to shield him from the public eye. for him to get on the debate stage at this point would be a bridge too far. stuart: even longtime democrat james carville is concerned about the president's age. >> it was telling when he didn't do the super bowl interview but to their credit they came back and put him on
10:05 am
seth meyers which helped. this is a big obstacle they are faced with and they have to deal with. stuart: i think tonight is going to be about biden's performance, not so much the policy but his performance standing there addressing the congress. what say you? >> absolutely and it's a big obstacle for him and refreshing to see some honesty from democrats on that part but i wonder if they would be admitting this if biden weren't trailing in the polls. if he was way out ahead of trump would they admit that biden's mental acuity is a problem? i don't think so. the fact is voters are concerned about this issue. now it is something democrats have to wrestle with. there - their concerns are justified. what biden is asking of american voters is unprecedented. there's a reason nancy pelosi and mitch mcconnell decided to step down, both 82 years old, there's a reason supreme court justice anthony kennedy decided to retire from the bench when he turned 82 and yet president biden is asking another four
10:06 am
year term starting at 82 years old. if you wants to be the exception to the rule he needs to prove that but the past few months approved anything it is that his age has caught up to him and his undermining his ability to do the job. stuart: a big test tonight, thank you for joining us, appreciate it. next case, it has been revealed by the washington post that senator bernie sanders met with president biden in a closed-door meeting last fall. he had a warning for the president. what was a? lauren: when you tout your economic a compliments can realize ordinary americans are in pain. he wants biden to lay out this progressive fdr style agenda to address that pain. this is the washington post, quote, sanders cited roosevelt's 1936 results at madison square garden emphasizing the extent of elite business opposition to the new deal, never before in our history have these forces been
10:07 am
so united against one candidate, very unanimous in their hate for me and i welcome their hatred. working against biden now are not only ordinary americans in pain but big business. oil, big and bad, pharmaceutical companies, lower drug prices, he keeps telling his enemies in businesses they have to do more because his policies aren't working. we when gary bomb with us. >> when bernie sanders talks, hide your wallets. the fact that president biden is listening to him. amanda once called for one hundred% tax rate on americans making above $1 million, it's on video, run for the hills. stuart: the president was addressed by senator sanders, sanders told him go after business like you did in 1936. that's what's coming out tonight. all this spending the democrats want to do could help the market, couldn't it? >> not that they want to, they
10:08 am
are but he doing and yet it also helps gdp, giving you the numbers, 2019, federal spending was 4. 4, we are running at 7 now and most of it is debt. the last 12 months, 2. $7 trillion were added to the debt yet they go on tv in front of the camera with economic advisers saying we lower the debt and deficits and we are going to do better going forward. gargantuan government takeover of 50% increase over the last five years and on purpose and there's no stopping if they get another four years. stuart: stay there for a second. i have some interesting news coming out of netflix. >> july 20th, they are airing a live boxing event at at&t stadium in texas between 27-year-old jake call and mike

tyson. netflix saturday, july 20th, the first ever live event for combat sports for netflix and its third ever live event that will bring in eyeballs. stuart: i call that a winner. >> netflix to deal with the wwe for $5 billion, that's big time. that's what netflix is going around before going forward. stuart: jake call is a popular guy and he will make a ton of money. doesn't to make an energy drink? >> it was called crime at every supermarket now. this will be quite interesting. i've seen mike tyson train. he's in pretty good shape. his speed on the hunches, i wouldn't want to get in front of that. stuart: interesting. stay there. a lot more from you later on. president biden says he will raise the minimum corporate tax rate for businesses.
10:10 am
>> augustine 21% if you are a company that makes $1 million, he plans to bump up the corporate tax rate from 20 one% to 28%. then, if a company pays a worker, you make one million dollars, your company, fox, is denied certain tax deductions because you make too much money and then, you make too much money, 25% tax on rich people if their wealth tops one hundred million dollars. we won how does that work? 25% is a wealth tax on unrealized capital gains. he's going to suggest it. >> spend the money and come after america in every way, shape or form and follow the money. that is the player. lauren: people are saying we are not rich, we don't have to worry about it but the trump tax cuts that expire in 2025, whatever happens this year with
10:11 am
congress is going to affect everybody. individual tax rates are going up. blue when if you tax corporations, profits go down and possibly prices go up. them blessed that. that is how it works. stuart: thank you for sorting this out. coming up, listen to this. john kerry says people would feel better about russia if vladimir putin made a greater effort to reduce emissions. we have a soundbite. president biden facing a challenge, 80% of voters think he's too old for the job. he's got to convince us he can have another four years. can he pull it off? chip roi on the high-stakes state of the union next. ♪ ♪ lect hundreds of data points like hrv and rem sleep,

stuart: on the market this morning, the dow is up one hundred 60 points, the nasdaq is up one hundred 50 and that's. 93%, modest rally. all eyes on the president has he delivered his high-stakes state of the union address. jackie heinrich at the white house. what's the latest you've got on what the president will say about the border tonight? >> reporter: we got some news to share with you. it has been long expected that the president would announce an executive action to secure the border around the state of the union address. there was even a cnn report this morning indicating biden told montana governor to expect that at the state of the unit. i was just told by officials here that no such orders are coming tonight and that interaction, they claim, never
10:17 am
happened. however, this is going to be biden's last state of the union address unless he wins a second term and at 81 years old he's going to have to convince voters that he deserves another four years despite his age, despite voter concerns about big issues like the border. this speech will be watched as much for biden's delivery as the substance of what he is saying and white house officials countered questions about what might happen with a stumble or gaffe by trying to show their approach is inherently youth oriented. >> there's always in these moments a desire to focus on the distractions, this will be the first state of the union we are live streaming on instagram to make sure where reaching young people where they are. >> reporter: biden will try to connect with average americans by marketing himself as scranton joe from mainstreet it is 24 likely opponent donald
10:18 am
trump as a wall street elite. biden will make the case that despite voter sentiments he led the post pandemic economy to a historic recovery and paint greedy corporations as the bogeyman responsible for stubborn prices and less bang for your buck these days but the central theme of biden's campaign is trump undermined democracy with his efforts to overturn the 2020 election and his party's embrace of restrictive abortion policies, the president might strike some dark tones tonight, team biden spokesman says at the biden campaign we intend to remind voters of the chaos and lasting damage trump caused as president and why the american people voted him out and he and his extreme project 2,025 agenda will devastate them and their families if he is allowed anywhere near the oval office. republicans are gearing up to hit biden on the big voter concern, the border. >> number one issue in the country because every state is a border state now. it's a catastrophe, humanitarian catastrophe, national security catastrophe
10:19 am
and was done by design. president biden it is been a station took 64 specific executive and agency actions to open the border why. they put the welcome mat out. >> we expect the president tonight to deflect blame for the border crisis to the other side and hit republicans for rejecting the senate brokered deal that would have addressed many issues that the border but the president hasn't taken any executor action to address it. we are learning that tonight he still won't. we will watch and see if he can make an effective case that legislating this issue is still what the american people should wait for. stuart: see you again later. republican congressman chip roi from texas joins me now. sorry i stumbled over that. i couldn't get it out. i want to know what you think about the president. can you hear everything? i don't think you can here. no audio?
10:20 am
we will fix that. okay. hold on. let's go to the story here. some people may laughing at this. i am you come you may not be, john kerry made comments about russia and co2 emissions. what have you got? >> he said people would feel better about the atrocities and ukraine if russia cared more about the environment. >> if russia wanted to show good faith they could go out and announce what their reductions are going to be and make a greater effort to reduce emissions and maybe that would open up the door for people to feel better about what russia is choosing to do at this point in time. stuart: feel better about an invasion? >> it out of touch, it's weird, it's insulting it is no longer climate czar, he is working on the biden campaign. stuart: let's get back to
10:21 am
congressman chip roi, republican from the great state of texas, audio has been restored. what do you think. you are from texas, border state and we just heard that the president will not issue any executive orders tonight. what do you say? >> we do not expect president biden to mention the name laken riley or if he does he will deflect blame to republicans, try to hide behind, what came through negotiation in the senate would have had no chance to secure the border. the fact of the matter is the president's culpable. we have a young woman, 22 years old who was killed by someone who was clearly released under the mask for all policies of this president, of this administration, of alejandra mayorkas, a young woman who was raped in louisiana by someone released by this administration. on them to-year-old who was killed in montgomery county
10:22 am
could not too far from where i am standing outside the nation's capital by someone released by this administration into the united states. the president of the united states is not going to address that. is not going to focus on the issues the american people want to hear him address because he has no answer. he has nothing to say but to point and use recommendations to point at the former president because he's not going to talk about the inflation it's killing american families, not going to talk about the open borders causing americans to die, not going to talk about the fentanyl causing americans to die, he's going to cast blame and aspersions on republicans, republicans passed legislation to secure the border, democrats refused to do it and i'm not going to let them hide behind it and reported that was introducing the segment said they passed a bill that would have fixed some things are made some improvements, that bill would have codified mass amnesty or mass releases into the united states, that is what it would have done, codified release policies that are attracting people to this country causing migrants to die, little girls

10:24 am
should not be in the oval office, that's what you're going to see tonight and that is what is going to shine through tonight. not the noise of the house chamber but that we've got an empty shell of a man sitting in the white house who is standing in front of the united states house, senate, supreme court and executive branch. blue when you previously backed ron desantis and have been critical of donald trump. are you going to back trump now that he's the candidate? >> of course. i said that all along. when i was campaigning for ron desantis, i said i would support the republican nominee, donald trump stood up to defend the border, donald trump loves this country, he is an american success story, understand what creating a, growth and opportunity means for the american people, doesn't want to advance a woke agenda this coupling the country, he. we should secure the board, he believes in western civilization is unlike the current president he's not going to allow radical progressive democrats to destroy our country.

he will stand up and fight for the hard-working americans. that is what he wrote into the town to do in 2016, he came into drain the swamp and came into build the wall, we need to have a congress that will stand up alongside him and fight and you know what that means, don't send empty bills to the senate and walk away, let's do our job now, let's do our job and set the stage, hold spending in check, let's not fund the dhs the the door with the american people, let's do our job rather than handing a blank check to them administration is crippling the american people, donald trump will come in, the leadership we need to kick this congress in the butt to do its job. stuart: no doubt who you support. always appreciate it. msnbc's andrea mitchell says her network's poll shows trump leading biden is wrong, role it. >> that result, leads you to think that 5 point spread in
