bloodbath, the media jumped on it suggesting the blood will flow if biden wins, they got it wrong we will play the tape trump is referring to disruption in the current industry if he wins. the present is reportedly upset in his low polls and is been yelling at his staff he cannot be happy with this either. an op-ed in the washington post asking vice president harris to step aside for the good of the country, let's get to the markets, a big rally at the opening bell for tech stocks on the nasdaq the dow is up 73 s&p of 38, look at the nasdaq 221 points to the upside at the opening bell, that is a rally despite interest-rate holding at higher levels the tenure is well above four and a quarter percent, for 33 in the two-year above four to half percent, 473 this morning, bitcoin as job lot $70000 no big selloff, 685 at the moment.

feeling. "varney & company" is about to begin. ♪. stuart: bad blood in that play used by donald trump. a little bit of a stretch but nonetheless monday morning, were to kick off with politics, let's roll the tape you can see and hear what donald trump said about bloodbath, here he is at a rally this weekend. >> let me hear tell you something if you're listening president xi, you and i are friends but he understands away ideal the big monster car manufacturing plants that your building in mexico right now and you think you're going to get that not hire americans and you're going to sell the cars,

we're going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line injured not to be able to sell those. if i get elected, if i don't get elected it's good to be a bloodbath that's good to be the least of it is going to be a bloodbath for the country. look at this on your screen the word bloodbath sent the media into a frenzy, charlie hurt with me take the word out of context, do you think he should've expected this if you use that word? >> sure, i think that is part, certainly part of his brand but is very comfortable in that realm using evocative vivid language and i think it's a secret to his success but it is remarkable i think the thing that was shocking to most people in the media and democrats you have a guy running for president

who goes to a place like ohio and talks to people about an issue that people actually care about and obviously he uses that evocative language and people applauded, when was the last time you heard an applause line from joe biden. it does not happen because he is incapable of talking to people on a level of anything that they care about. if you want to talk about evocative language, let's not forget think about the state of the union address that he just gave think about the fact that he came to virginia a couple of years ago and told an audience of black voters that if the republicans got elected republicans will put black people back in chains that is the lunatic that is in the white house. when we get all of our pearl clutching about evocative language i wish the media would remember that. stuart: look at this headline,

from nbc, behind-the-scenes biden has grown angry and anxious about reelection efforts, here is a quote, president joe biden was seated at a private meeting the white house in january, allies of the president had told him that his poll numbers in michigan and georgia had dropped, he began to shout and swear that's what a lawmaker familiar with the meeting actually said perhaps this was plaintiff by the white house to make biden look strong and in command, would you buy that? >> i think that has a lot to do with it whether it had to be planted or not i don't know because nbc and all of these people in the media they don't need to be told a story doesn't need to be planted to pick up a ball and run with it to do exactly what you're saying you're trying to make it look like he's in control. i would argue it's like the state of the union where the idea of him getting angry and lashing out and cursing out his

staffers is not necessarily indicative of a guy who is in control but more of a guide who is not in control and all he realizes is that he is losing and he's angry so he lashes out. i don't even know the trick that they're trying to play works to his benefit. >> charlie hurt on a monday morning will see you again soon. the washington post has an op-ed that calls on vice president harris to step aside. that is extraordinary. >> the author is kathleen parker she did not mince words in her post column saying democrats should divest with one of the greatest mistakes let's pull "the conundrum comes down to this she was picked because she was black and female a combo to job security, now that she's become a burden to the

democratic ticket biden cannot fire her, he cannot risk alienating his base. the seriousness of the situation cannot be overstated biden's diminishing faculties notwithstanding the relatively successful state of the union is increasing physical frailty are concerning. harris is a heartbeat away from the most powerful position on the planet. a year ago in april 2023 biden launched his big concerns about kamala harris will raise then, what has she done in the past year to convince you make a public that he was worthy and credentialed to be president of the united states if it comes to that. i don't think kathleen parker as a triable and we are past that. stuart: she concludes by saying that a vice president step aside for the good of the country. that is pretty dramatic. >> she's being attacked for being racist and misogynist. stuart: check the market, you won't see this is a monday morning you have tech stocks, you looking pretty good at the

opening bell, the dow up 60, the nasdaq up to 21. jeff sica back with us. i want to start with bitcoin 68 and change today, where is it going. >> i think it's going to go higher, people are focused on that having event which happened on april 17, there can effectively pull supply out of the market, you have all these institutions that are buying into bitcoin and accumulated as much of it as they can and less of it to accumulate. bitcoin being the cat with nine lives has shown that even those volatile, we've said it since we started talking about this in 2019. if you can own the stock this is one of the most speculative investments that you're going to make but you have to know bitcoin the more crazy and chaotic and reckless the

government becomes the more attractive and alternative currency like bitcoin is. stuart: if i put my money into a stock of buying a piece of a company with profits in factories and staff. if i put my money into bitcoin but why got i have nothing. >> you have an exchange mechanism inability to do the alternative to the fiat currency, people think that we needed alternative because were running a massive deficit because the government seems to not know what to do about inflation so people are looking for the alternative currency. stuart: otherwise known as gambling mania. that's why i say if you're going to miss a meal because bitcoin goes down in price put your money in something else, this is

not buying a blue-chip stock this is by no lottery ticket. stuart: i have gold $2150 an ounce as this morning, is the deficit because it's growing so fast, is the deficit pushing gold up. >> what gold is becoming it's a direct reflection on the recklessness spending of our government. you have a $35 trillion deficit growing by 2 trillion a year and people on both sides of the republicans and democrats who can't seem to figure out and show much initiative to remove the deficit, what is that doing is annihilating the dollar i've been a fan of gold since as long as i could remember and what i would say gold is the right thing to be invested in when you're concerned about the strength of the dollar and whether the government will be

able to take initiative to bring us out of the deficit. stuart: i think you're going overboard on the dollar is as strong as ever. were out of time, i hate to do that to you. jeff sica you're alright. trump had a warning for lawmakers over the crackdown on tiktok. roll tape. >> what happens if you ban tiktok and take it away and we have a new concept but if you take it away those people will go to facebook and facebook in my opinion was worse than tiktok by a lot. stuart: working to tell you who we think controls facebook, growing frustration with israel benjamin netanyahu, new leadership over there is the gop the republicans are the principal supporters of israel. i'll ask for the congressman byron donalds next. ♪ (fisher investments) at fisher investments we may look like

where we obviously don't agree with everything that israel has done and they have a relationship that they could talk to one another, they do and they will again he is the prime minister of israel and we respect the sovereignty of the israeli people. >> biden top administration officials have warned the government that the united states cannot support a massive military operation in raw file without a plan to take care of the refugees there. israel must continue pursuing hamas leadership. >> when people tell us don't go into rafah that's like telling the allies don't going to berlin leave a quarter of the nazi army intact, that is ridiculous. if we leave a quarter of the hamas fighting tears battalions in place regroup and reconquer gaza and in fact perpetrate once again what they vowed to do. >> last week senate majority leader chuck schumer says

benjamin netanyahu has lost his way into willing to tolerate and driving down worldwide support for israel, schumer called for new elections once the war dies down he added the u.s. cannot dictate the outcome of the election there, benjamin netanyahu called it wholly inappropriate. president biden said that schumer delivered a good speech in its entirety says that he believes that his concerns that schumer raised as do many americans. stuart: i would get more on benjamin netanyahu who called for leadership change in israel, watch this again. roll tape. >> i think schumer is taking a wholly inappropriate. without a banana republic when they have elections who to elect and is not something that would be wasted upon us. it is wrong to try to replace the elected leaders of the sister democracy and american ally at any time. especially during the time of war.

the only thing that we should be focused on is changing the regime and gaza the terrorist regime of hamas and not the duly elected government of israel that is the right policy. >> florida congressman byron donalds, is the gop the republican party the principal supporter of israel in america. >> that is 100% correct the reason why republicans are particular in two occasions have tried to fund israel and make sure they got the weapons that they needed in order to defeat hamas. if you go back to a couple weeks after october 7 house republicans passed a measure $14.3 billion, we use the irs slush fund the joe biden created to pay for the aid to israel, past the house with overwhelming support and you are democrat supporting a bill, chuck schumer tabled it in the senate most people don't remember this because the day that he tabled

it it was a big rally in the national mall for israel he went out there and show cans but when it was time to take care of business he went back to the senate floor and they tabled that bill. the democrat party has a major issue with israel within the ranks and they're trying to kowtow to voters in michigan and minnesota as well as their backroom deals with the iranians as opposed to standing with israel, those are the facts. stuart: law enforcement intercepted 25 haitian migrants off the florida coast that had guns and drugs in the boat, what should we do, should america step in and control? >> first things first, governor desantis has made this call we need to be calling out the biden administration to secure florida and the country for people trying to use flotilla's and boats and ships to come into america and get off at some point, there has to be a protection barrier or the state of florida the way there should

be one for the southern border, that's the biden administration. secondarily were at the same issue, joe biden was 18 months ago when the haitian president was assassinated and what did the administration do then, they watch the catastrophe in we banded six embassies under joe biden's watch a catastrophe for our nation insensate he is close should we try to do something to help stabilize the country, yes we should but the first and foremost you gotta protect american citizens especially here in florida and secondarily this administration needs to go because they have no strategy, there always late to every crisis that they watch in that they create. stuart: we shifted billions after the earthquake in haiti and no idea where it went if we shipped more money we have no idea where it's going to go, byron donalds, thank you for joining us we will see you la later. what are we doing about evacuating americans from haiti

families, we are still feeling the pain-and-suffering every time they go to the grocery store in the gas pump prices are up 20% is not the performance that we would expect from a good fed chair. you need somebody who is going to do a couple of things you need someone who will promote a strong economy where production because when you produce more goods and services, what happens to prices, they go down we need a fed chair who will be more skeptical of massive government spending and debt i would like to see the next fed chair bringing spending down in somebody who understands a whole supply-side approach of lower taxes and someone. jerome powell obviously has to go, we had a committee of a number of expert monetary people and people who are in the know about the economy and the fed policy in those three people that we came up with who we think would be ideal choices are people who you have on your show all the time, art laffer the

regular economist and trump economist kevin hassett who was the chairman of the council of economic advisors for trump and then kevin warsh who has served at the federal reserve and understands all these policies. stuart: tell me about your new op-ed president joe biden's magical thinking on taxes, the fallout of the taxes. tell me. if biden gets all of the tax increases that he wants, if he gets them all, what will be the impact of the economy and the debt. >> armageddon, i've been doing this for 40 years i started reviewing presidential budget in 1985 that's almost a 40 year period that's almost a presidential budget under the democratic president, republican presidents and i have to tell you this is by far nothing comes close. even under obama to the

financial recklessness of this budget, 7.5 trillion dollars of spending and finance not by spending cuts but the biggest tax increase in rate increases in history would essentially reverse 40 years of progress going back to reagan when we started slashing tax rates. let me give you an example this is an investment. let's say you make it investment and you make a million dollars on the investment you are going to pay the capital gains taxes going to double under biden from 23% to almost 40% and you get to see an increase in the corporation itself going to see its tax rate from 21 - 28% he wants to raise the tax on unrealized capital gains which is never been done before i estimate the wall street journal validated this in the editorial the other day the tax rate are you ready for this 60%.

of the million dollars $600,000 is good to go to the government and 400,000 to the investor what impact will that have on investments. stuart: not good. >> is going to kill the stock market is the diabolical plan and i have to give joe biden credit normally a president when is running for reelection would run to the middle and say i'm a moderate puppy under biden is saying i'm a left-wing tax-and-spend or here it is america do you want it. stuart: he thinks tax the rich is a political winner, good stuff. see you again soon. biden is going on the campaign trail this week he is going to say he lower prices for families, is that accurate? if you look at groceries is accurate that he lower prices for families? >> nobody went after the food companies for gouging new in shrinking the size of the items.

i read the average american household goes to the food store three times a week that's three times you get a constant reminder that food cost a lot of money is the main driver of economic discontent of the voting public even though the economic numbers are relatively holding up overall. if you consider it this way and look from covid grocery store prices are up over 25% overall inflation is up a lot, 20% but groceries are costing more than most things. if you're going to the food store three times a week a constant reminder. stuart: our wages keep it up with that. >> if you look at the latest data from indeed.com they find an increase in february for wages of 3.3% in the past year so the answer would be yes keeping up with annual inflation barely but if you look compared to when wages were going up 12%, 9% there's been a serious slowdown if you look at the tech jobs tens of thousands of layoffs so far this year end technology alone some is because

of a.i. but a lot is because of downsizing. in general the economy is slowing down. stuart: thank you so much indeed. very interesting. kamala harris can take off the boxes female, asian descent. that means nothing appears can't do the job they called upon in the oval office that will be my take the top of our. the supreme court said to hear arguments that could determine if the government can tell tech companies to police their content, we have a report on that coming up next. ♪ (marci) so, how long have you lived here?
