things. >> she is either delusional or not being honest with american people i don't think this administration is being honest with public, but i also know denying reality as well not very doesn't boost your confidence when you have the -- treasury secretary complete denying reality not understanding exactly what causes this massive inflation how getting under control we know now, not under control we are going to keep hiking interest rates until more layoffs you slow economy down classic, stagflation i have been predicting since january 2021 when started talking about massive spending bills coming out of recession with trillions around economy pent-up demand last thing you need more fuel to five by more deficit spending. >> exactly what they did we are all trying to understand,

you know count and know have an accounting of anyone we've got police stations, ccp police situations in america as well. mark: doing everything to infiltrate our country when you look at the border crisis a complete definitive from criminals coming across the border people with bad intentions you've got fentanyl you've got human trafficking all that going on there, and the biggest thing that has me confused, is you take president biden, wlo is this self-proclaimed family man, who has a son, in active recovery who was such a bad addict he reported to smoking parmesan cheese not taken a force if you feel stance against potentially saving his son's life we know done a good job hiding all past screwups. event finance could easy if

hunter were to relapse take him out of this world joe biden made a decision that he is going to the prioritize the left's agenda which is to accumulate as many voters as possible, by any means necessary, over protecting american people from fentanyl crisis and specifically his own son. maria: let's be clear, the drug problems that hunter biden has has nothing to do with all his influence peddling. let's be clear about this i know we are supposed to feel bad about all the drug use all that. this is influence peddling, he is paid tens of millions of dollars from adversary as it hundreds. >> we are checking on federal reserve two-day meeting happening today. .

away from the opening bell a rally underway take a look dow industrials up 288 points that is near the highs of the morning, the nasdaq up 79 s&p up 33 all lifted because of this jpmorgan jamie dimon working to crack a new rescue plan for first republic one option capital raise stock up 23% on news lifting all boats in the sector lifting the entire market officials are studying ways fdic being could and an to cover all deposits loss in the banking crisis i find this 18 trillion dollars, in bank depositors right now joining plea chairman ceo of strategis, jason trennert, isn't this hazard if you look for fdic to support and secure all deposits everywhere? >> i would say so i think it

is in some way a big debate about this in morning meeting this morning, in my opinion, this almost, would be a soft nationalization of the banks, doesn't mean government would own banks but would mean the government would have an enormous influence on how banks behave, hard to see good for banking system and longer term at least profitability would it be very hard to see that being good for the system as a whole, economic growth. and this is i part and parcel o capitalistic system risk i am sympathetic to deposit holders there have to be limits essentially no limits since 2008, in terms of the federal governments influence over the banking system, and, in my opinion, it led to a lot of unintended consequences, bad outcomes. maria: ia i totally agree

would send val of banks lower because it would be impossible to distinguish you know strong from weak, distinguish among franchises leaving investors to probably sell banks don't you think? >> i think so, again i think just for your viewers all of us to think, do you want the federal government to have more power? do you want federal government to have power over the entire banking system? >> and i would arguend financials are one of the most regulated businesses, at least banks are, there are non bank banks out others that are not this is not i don't think this is particularly good development, if you are looking, for banks to create capital. or look for capital formation this something will unfortunately knowing human nature the political influence on banking, decisions, will

only grow, if extend assurance to all dpoifrz or greatly increase i heard senator warren talking about five million or 10 million dollars that is really the i would say that is the opposite of what banking is all about, and, are how banks work. >>. maria: of course,. >> you can socialize losses privatize some gains in the low the way should it work. maria: i think, that is probably, one thing that jamie dimon is thinking about whether he is trying to -- rally banks to help first republic put on banks let banks do something don't get federal government here, you know securing all deposits, meanwhile, we've got two-day meeting take kicking off day jour take on this futures market is pricing in less than 20% chance of no rate hike tomorrow jason. we are expecting 25 basis points hike, but, you know, this debate that is now

underway, all central banks decide are we going to continue procure fighting inflation higher interest rates despite string of rate hikes has been a shock to certain banks, an investors. and causing a slowing economy or do we pivot to focus on financial stability given worries about stress around the banks? what are you expecting? >> it is a toughy, no good options for the fed i would say unfortunate this is a creation of its own design by central banks globally and, again, you have almost -- hobson's choice between two one my opinion i think fed will tiny 25 basis points tomorrow a coin flip a guess like anybody else's as valid as anyone's else, in my opinion, i think fed should continue to tighten just to the extent to when inflation is still an issue, and

inflation affects everyone, particularly very regressive working class people poor people much more than effects wealthier people i think that is the fed primary job, that is central bank's primary job ecb has single mandate tightened 50 basis points last week came as a surprise to many people, but i think it was the right the right move. i think other things that the fed can do i also think private sector solutions to some of the problems in the banks as you alluded to before i don't think this is yet systemic for the system i think there are clearly significant problems, but i think i would much rather see them dealt with, in the private sector as opposed to fed policy again, has pretty clear mandate to try to provide for price stability. >> well stayed jason let me get your take on market, we've got 300-point rally right now,

we've got 380-point rally yesterday, markets opening in about an hour would you buy this market buy into strength or do you want to sell it? >> i would fade it, i really i would be very careful would i be focusing if an investor as i am in my person account focusing much more on safety, much more, on companies with fortress style balance sheets we call shorter duration equities fancy way of saying companies generating their cash fro distribute back to shareholders through buybacks or dividends would i focus i wouldn't pioneer with companies that we have not really seen full impact of fed tightening on economic growth. the unemployment rate is still 3.6%. so, by any standard i don't think we've seen much in the way i know a tough year, for investors but the economy is

far from recession, i would argue that inflation is still an issue, so, we have a lot more unfortunately i believe we have more pain, to see and that is is why i would be careful as investor. maria: jason recession this year what do you say? >> i would say it is highly likely whatever your odds were two weeks ago, it is they are higher now, if you one in four two weeks ago, it has got to be 50% if you thought 50% as we thought, two weeks ago more like 75%. credit is going to tighten very strong relationship between, availability of credit and jobs, seem to me jobs that are going to be risk as a result. >> always a pleasure to seek with you jason thank you so much for being here this morning. >> yes. thank you. >> all right jason trennert, quick break with house judiciary committee demanding new york d.a. alvin bragg testify, about his handling of the possible indictment of former president trump. i will be speaking with

sense of this attack, this latest attack on president trump. >> well when i was a young civil rights worker, i was training to go down south as observer our instructors told us never spit on sidewalk, don't put out a cigarette in the street you are targeted by sheriffs and police they will turn your spitting on the street into a felony of destruction of property we took that very seriously. and now, district attorney bragg is following the precedent of the segregationist south targeting donald trump for facts that are even myself, he paid 130,000 dollars did they expect him to enter in books, as hush money paid to porn star to avoid revelation

aadulterous favor nobody has ever done that in none disclosure agreement of not ena misdemeanor but the reason he did it to avoid disclosure committed a federal felony, that is -- violation of campaign financing it is the most stretched the most object surrendered i have to tell you 60 years of practicing criminal law, i have never seen a worse abuse of prosecutorial discretion. and the left including today's "new york times" including cnn, cheering on as if it won't establish a terrible precedent today against president trump tomorrow against a democrat day after tomorrow uncle charlie or your nephew one of the most serious viengs of rule of law i experienced in 60 years from a democrat somebody against trump not political how rule

of law is being destroyed by zealous attempt to tr somebody . >> i wand to hear from you you are an independent minded slel scholar, look. we all know, how alvin bragg felt about trump take a look at what he said while he was campaigning, two years ago, watch this. >> i am the candidate in race has experience with donald trump, i was chief deputy in the attorney general's office, we sued trump administration, over 100 times, i know how to litigate, with him. maria: so there you go he is telling us right there let's get trump. >> well, at the attorney general of new york leticia james i like as a person campaigned on exactly the words get trump, the title from my book get trump did not originate with me comes from leticia campaign slogan promise to get trump if she doesn't get him won't be

reelected he the same thing true with bragg like soviet union used to do head of kgb said stalin slow me the man i will find crime south ancan dictators for friends everything for enemies no law not the way american law is to operate american law is supposed to have a crime look for who committed it not first decide who you want to prosecute, and then rummage through statute books to try to find a technical violation worse than al capone in al capone he committed that violation, went after him, here, there was no crime, they have to make it up combine, a nonexistent state misdemeanor between statute of limitations to a federal felony was not prosecuted by the federal government, also i don't understand statute of limitations and say one in one

equals 11 isn't the way american justice works, everybody should protest this i cannot saying on streets, self-serving read my book buy my book will help send a message to bragg you can't just get away i am going to continue to write about this continue to tell american public their liberties at risks when people get away with this kind of prosecutorial abuse. >> good for you alan they keep getting away with it okay in delays it keeps happening you and i have same discussion four years ago, over the russia collusion lie we figured out russia collusion with trump a lie a political campaign to take down o opponent goes viral across world media drove it here we are again same thing with impeachment for trump did with it biden laptop, even did with it the origins of covid-19 the media ran with it. >> and they getaway with it

because nobody is prepared police department to bring charges against lawyers, who are abusing the process, instead, those of us who any way defended the constitution, on behalf of trump, we are being investigated we are being remember charged with complaints the opposite ought to be true people like district attorney who abused their discretion, should be held responsible by the bar associations unless they are they're going to continue to do this it is going to spread become part of the precedence of american justice, if you run for president your opponent will try to find something on you that is banana republic not what united states stands for. . >> absolutely right, yep, let me bring in liz peek. liz: you made a good case this i will ledge it ballot do you think republicans in congress demanding bragg talk

to them set off howl of interference, with the justice process, is a good idea or bad idea do you think they risk having this thing just thrown out of court making it even more political? >> -- obstruction of justice what democrats are saying. >> i don't want to to see weaponization of justice against either party i don't want to see that. i want to see people held to accountability for legal ethics i taught legal ethics 35 years at harvard with former prosecutors, we have never seen a case like this prosecutors have enormous power as we know in income say a grand jury if prosecutor wants will indict a ham sandwich in blue city of work a petit jury might convict a ham sandwich prorz have to protect citizens from abuse of law there are statutes make

everything criminal the job of prosecutor never used this combination of statutes go avenue anybody if anybody out there who believes they would prosecute somebody other than a up-to-datal candidate i have a bridge to brooklyn i will sell them, there is no truth to this this targeted injustice. >> you are a gem for this country your reaction to michael cohen situation, because the former legal adviser to michael cohen costello appeared two hours yesterday before manhattan grand jury told he reporters cohn cannot be trusted wash in. i have listened. michael could hern stand in front of courthouse say things correctly contrary to what he said to us my obligation is to bring the truth, to both the district attorney, and to trump's lawyers that is exactly what i did. if they want to go after donald trump solid received be it but michael cohen is far from solid evidence.

>> i -- shoot somebody whatever it takes i am not going to jail he went to jail now on a revenge tour. >> he came across great on that alan was that testimony or fact that they figured out actually helping trump, because it is in plain sight the way politicking this is not seeing him arrested. >> i think because bragg didn't want his predicts to come true great gist to give trump use cohen as witness the easiest to devastate, destroy, to hurt the credibility of the prosecution case much splatter to try to make the case without him just as trump would be smarter not to deny that he had an affair with stormy daniels i don't know if he did or not but jury will not believe that denial, that would affect the credibility of his case both sides would be smart to put on recess rather than more.

i think trump will be indicted i don't think perp walked or handcuffed would play into hands of trump's reelection again, he would make if they do a mugshot of him, make it public that will be his campaign portfolio. >> in a is what i said exactly what i said -- >> my god alan great to talk with you, thanks so much please come back soon. thank you. >> i will, thank you so much for having me. maria: s alan dershowitz joining us. stay with us. we'll be right back. .

climbing in popularity being used by a lot of americans who probably don't know where this coming from very concerning, because i bet going through the privacy settings, in that new app you are going to find similar to what tiktok is very concerning. >> that is right, so, ag, what is your take on tiktok now? the company announced a refresh to the community guidelines, and refresh to approach moderation adding content created by a.i. ceo, posted a video message ahead of congressional hearing on thursday watch this. >> -- some performances started talking about banning tiktok could take tiktok away from 150 million of you all i will testify before congress this week to share all we are doing to protect americans using app deliver on mission
