eligible to essentially have loans paid off, using that workaround but i mean again, a lot of this could also be challenged as well, in court. and to see if that skwloops good point hillary vain capitol hill this morning your thoughts. mark: we talked now a rewarding bad behavior squatters taking over possession of homes now you rewarding bad decisions, you cannot grow as an economy when you continue to have a faulty incentive system whereby you are rewarding bad decisions in the low good decisions if we want to grow as fast as week only the way we can outgrow this 34 trillion accumulated you can't faction out of it they could double everyone's taxes wouldn't make a dent we have to dpro we have to get back to rewarding good decisions. maria: yeah, now, we understand, why, president biden wants to raise taxes, by 5 1/2 trillion dollars.

this was number in his budget he told what you say a potential four more years would look like higher taxes 5 1/2 trillion dollars partly of 2525 budget, who is paying for all this? >> another. >> you are. >> we all will be, are already but, the question another theme buying votes whether at the border people coming in or student loan debt frivenz are trying to shore up biden's voter base losing to of amen americans a hispanic voters doing everything to secure that. >> you are right the political tricks are working, the political. >> political dirty tricky working young people came out last election because they want deductibility forgiven. >> unfortunately, that is true we need to challenge as you mentioned completely unconstitutional credit card debt credit card through the roof over a trillion dollars,

we are rewarding people who are just reckless. maria: why would anybody else be expected to follow the law michael if the president of the united states, continues to blow off the. >> to mark's point squatters, it is folks, that student debt, credit card debt. you know the problem is, the student debt always bothers me no type of america as to who would get relief, why would be incentivize students who did really well why just say to everybody we are just going to cancel debt. what basis they can't afford it? what is the rationale? and, how is this stock exchange? just doing it now just this year just this administration? what about future administrations what does it say to students want an education maybe you have to pay may be i won't what responsibility that is teaching as young adult. mark: one of the thing they could have done if weren't concerned a dead give away concerned about votes, they

could have incentivized businesses to somehow offering businesses tax benefits to pay off their employees' student loan debt some point would help businesses to retain talent they are training, and at five year ten year mark whatever it might be we pay off 20,000 dollars student loan debt people wouldn't be able to connect dots that joe biden was helping people pay off their tuition. maria: are a short break when we come back we are talking about how 27 members of congress, are efforting presidential immunity for donald trump one leading the charge kansas city roger marshall joining me next to tell me about it we will hear from kansas senator you are watching "mornings with maria" live on fox business. ♪ ♪ ypli. ca, fun, ymca, they have everything, to start -- its

why continuing nancy pelosi spending again. >> déjà vu all over again, i think this is the sventh time we've had this overnight legislation we're supposed to look at it vote on it speaker johnson is between rock and hardplace american people gave us most liberal president in american history democrats control senate speaker has two seat majority over there, right now the system is broken. and we're doing the same thing over and over again, that is why we're going to the conference here when we get back in two weeks going to talk about fixing a very broken budget process, there are laws out there that govern the calendar the way supposed to handle this budget with deadlines they found ways to kir crumb vent them we want a budget process budget committee leading a budget can live with not adding two trillion dollars more every year to national debt. >> america first legal filed a

supreme court amicus brief for your and 26 members are of congress in support of presidential immunities for president donald trump you are arguing because congress never convicted trump the d.c. circuit made a mistake denying presidential immunity. >> this is definitely election interference six months out from election here judicial system trying to persecute donald trump i am not a constitutional lawyer but i believe what they are dock is unconstitutional certainly unhe equal application of the law, very simply stated is the president has certain unity powers when he he is in office, the constitutional clearly states the way to do that go through impeachment process president trump was never convicted therefor this legal issue has no standing in the supreme court, should kick it out let president campaign. >> letitia james in new york, is itching to seize trump property to come up with 400

plus-million-dollar bond. >> politicing weaponization never seen a fine like this in my life, impossible for any person very few people in the world can make this type of bond again this is now election interference six months from election we have a -- an toning out there basically running her next campaign using donald trump as her political weapon. maria: election interference are you comfortable transparent fair election no november we keep hearing efforts to pay people engage get more at in voters you've got people at the border trying to get people to become, democrat prosperities you've got ag merrick garland vowing to fight voter id laws if we don't applying on back of republicans we have the national republican economy lara trump saying a system ready to go back home across the nation i talked to minimum republican committees a system trying to get in place to

follow ballots from the beginning to end, make sure legal, 7 or 8 key citiesee need increased pressures i think there trying to ensure legal process when you throw out ballots unsolicited a tough station we need state laws to fix that erroneous situation. maria: we've got laws broken every day at southern widespread i know, you know that you have been to the border plenty, how come it has been so hard for the republicans to actually secure the border? i mean every day another horrible story border patrol agents el paso, texas of arrested columbian migrant gang tattoos agents found photos people tortured on his phone migrants with criminal records arrested in, 2023, increase past several years

don't know whether released in population or not these are kinds of of people, that we're seeing coming into america right now. >> yeah, we have two million people running around the country, that were gotaways we have another two million, pro, not checked out a spike in crime we're seeing i did crime roundtable in wichita this past week i learned that the law enforcement in kansas confiscated over 200 pounds phone, only 3 million in kansas prosecuted enough to kill 40 million as law enforcement says we are not going to arrest ourselves out of this problem, there is not enough law enforcement officers to arrest the people we have to secure border why can't republicans get in border secured? look have consequences person in whlt can cop yesterday you said minimum times i said minimum times democrats not serious about securing the

border why number one issue into the election in november is americans want border secured every city every county, every state, is now a border state. >> the last time we spoke you were telling me about human trafficking that is underway in america, is that part of the story that is what some migrants are doing coming into america setting up businesses at the front doing human trafficking under our noses. >> you asked before i heard you where are 40,000 chinese nationals going they are going to china ooed weed farms growing mairn some legal there is illegal behind it lots are laborers on that soekt up other parts of human trafficking, the sex trafficking that part as well chinese triad, mafia deeply involved and on the end money laundering. >> we reported earlier about a squatter a woman's home in queens, apparently squatters are also taking over, and

there was a video that went viral on tiktok we don't know if this guy is who he says he is, but he is telling people how to invade people's homes, is this -- in china has what is going on with squatting situation in america? can you as official do anything about it. >> i think positives problems best solved local laws washington will certainly mess this up the number of people raw number of people that have come across the border millions of gotaways that we know have never been vetted, but also you got this -- this kept government owes you has you he addicted to handouts paying for rent, when that money ran out people stayed as well this is a cultural issue a consequences of a lawless society created by joe biden, open borders, cashless bail we are not going after the criminals i think this is a consequence of the lawless society, created under joe biden the radical democrats.

sitting at 4.23%, down four base the fed raised gdp inflation outlook for theier on stronger economic growth it said did project three rate cuts this year, federal reserve chairman jay powell said rates will not return to lowest levels, however, watch. >> our policy rate is likely at its peak for this cycle and if economy evolves broadly as expected will lime be appropriate to begin dialing back policy restraint at some point rates will not go back down to the very low levels that we saw where, all around the world long rates at or zero in some indicates i don't see rates to that level but tremendous uncertainty around that i don't think we really know whether a bump on the road or something more. >> joining me former federal reserve board nominee independent institute senior fellow author of money meltdown rewarding order to the global currency system

judy shelton with us great to see you. thank you so much for being here i want your reaction to about what we ladder from the fed and hotter-than-expected cpi number you harder what jip said not sure if it is a bump or something new in terms of elevated inflation rate. i though i hoping so much that it is just a bump. of by the criteria lied out august 2022 first said how we're going to fight inflation, he thought that economic growth and lower unemployment were the problem. and i think what we heard yesterday is he is saying in spite of economic growth, by fed restrictive rates apparently didn't curtail, in spite of still low unemployment, and robust consumer demand he is talking about rates, and that down the

make much sense especially consider fiscal stimulus at this point i will be very pride of i do not expect them -- to be three rate cuts i think probably wait to july to explain first one thin will have august jackson hole meeting, kind of logic of cutting at all kind of a hard sell at most i would expect --u new "the wall street journal" op-ed you write we should not be crediting the fed for inflation line to that economy has not performed go predictions, tell us more. >> well -- one thing that did come out of the conference yesterday is now i think the confessed is admitting this is really, supply-side approach that has been much more important than what the fed can control trying to suppress demand. my point in that article, is that economic growth is not

exactly inflationary. and low unemployment not inflationary the goal to have more people working producing more output how you bring supply in balance with demand so i think that the fed is -- is -- leaning more toward that position now. and what was interesting yesterday chair powell at first said well. maybe we might cut rates, if something unexpected happened that caused a softer labor market. presumably higher unemployment but when he was pressed asked well does that mean if you still have strong employment low current employment i wouldn't cut he said oh, no, we could still cut i think this has gone out the wisdom interest my point of view that is important recognizeing supply-side much more

important almost recognize ll nothing monetary policy if fiscal year policy is stimulating people. >> that is what everybody is talking about so much money flowing including president for giving all student loan debt no wondered federal reserve fighting tsunami of money, but, you know, i want to bring mark in i have to chuckle when i hear jay powell judy said say well. maybe something unexpected happens in the economy slows down how about 11 rate hikes. mark: i know. maria: so that now other thing economy slows down it was unexpected? >> the economy is not going to slow down because of the fiscal thrust, judy you looked at four quarter gdp we grew by 330 billion but it cost us 830 billion dollars new debt to finance that growth. you strip out deficit spending that we have going on, maybe economic growth wouldn't be as strong then you know always

laser focused on the employment situation, but when you really kind of like look under the hood you look at the quality of the jobs that have been added since february of 2023, we've lost 280,000 full-time jobs added 900,000 o part-time jobs all things can have kwoouflg to every day investor every day american what do you have to say about that. >> not only that, but the jobs being added include government workers, and people in the hospitality industry might mean people working twoed on three jobs. what you really want is productive economic activity the problem with the fed keeping rates so high is the government will pay those rates, so if government is running an industrial policy, feeding its own projects getting ahead because it offers subsidies, to tell people what to produce and how to do it, there is totally

squeezing private sector, high rates really are obstacle for private sector entrepreneurial activity. there it is restrictive, that is my fear fed policy feeding, government certainly increasing the deficit, because the cost of financing this massive problem of debt is having tremendous impact on budget going forward. maria: you just said a minute ago to, three rate cuts is not what the fed should be doing right now given the backdrop. why would the fed promise three rate cuts is he getting political a couple weeks ago joe biden or a couple days ago rather joe biden was at podium a rally he said i think the fed is going to cut rates i think lower rates are coming, is that pressuring the fed is fed getting political promising three rate cuts in election year? >> well it sure looks bad.

unless the fed is prepared to disavow inflation fighting model it makes no sense to be cutting when you have everything that caused them to implement that model going in a direction that says you maintain high rates, because you have the economic growth you have, tight labor markets robust consumer demand, the fiscal year spending is further fueling demand. the pressure is on prices. so the fed even to talk about cutting rates means going against all criteria it laid out for instituting restrictive rates they have to explain that, that is why i say if considers doing it wait until they have a chance to explain it, but not going to be easy. maria: i got to say if we see three rate cuts i've got to believe that is in response, to a real deteriorating macrostory do you agree? >> well, there is no reason to

have expect that. and i think the fed is too quick to try to micromanage the economy. i think it is kind of an egocentric predikement they think they have to intervene be activities the reason recovered the way we have the american economy is mally resilient what is more important than fed, up and down interest rates, is to let free markets, give accurate prices so money is valid when you are an honest measuring tool interest rates, people whether productively invest capital instead of money used as economic policy tool by government to shape their economic objective. >> great points judy good to see you judy shelton, texas make taking migrant crisis into its own hands.

anybody who breaks the law and breaches the border and comes into texas. >> well exactly right doesn't make sense i mean you would think biden administration would welcome state of texas helping secure border, tells us they don't want to secure border governor abbott done more to secure border than anybody in biden administration people said we can do more you got to remember every us on every fentanyl, is -- every person -- arrests tremendousesings passing one less got away fingerprinted, vetsdz, governor abbott doing a lot great success proved border barriers work when he put that barriers in eagle as illegal immigration down 70% apparently president trump's idea of building barriers works. >> they worked migrants moved to arizona and california michael balboni jump in here. >> you got to be, looking at
