maria: welcome back. good tuesday morning. thanks for joining us. i'm maria bartiromo. it is tuesday, may 7 it is 8:00 a.m. on the east coast, we are coming live this morning from milken institute global conference here in los angeles. top story of the morning israeli officials confirm they've taken over hamas controlled areas of the rafah region launching a ground counterterrorism operation

yesterday. they are saying hamas is far from meeting demands potential cease-fire agreement president biden expected to address the rise in antisemitism in keynote address at u.s. holocaust memorial museum remembrance celebration the president has not said much about any of this white house says will not meet with anti-israel protesters on campuses not get involved with anti-israel encampment at george washington university miles away from white house. congressman said the president should will be out visiting the encampments the protesters amid protesters there is any plan for him to get out there talk to students. >> gw, president has called the for metro police in d.c. to intervene, to dismantle what they deemed illegal encampment d.c. police so far refused to respond to that is

there any reaction from the white house what should happen. this is something i'm going to leave to local law enforcement universities. >> going to leave that to local authorities, house oversight byron donalds said one professor starting berating him calling him race traitor uncle tom the man himself is here member of the highways oversight committee financial services as well, house freedom caucus good to see you this morning. thanks very much for being here. good morning good to be with you. >> can you tell me what happened? >> well basically what happened is myself and members oversight committee led by chairman comer went to see firsthand what has happening at gw talked with college

president, and her top team, then wanted to take a tour of the encampment when we took a tour of the encampment things got a little out of hand animaltators protesters wants to come see us engage us to yell we weren't going to be intimidated when you had that exchange between me and that professor america needs to understands this radical person yelling at me that is a professor at gw gorgetown american university you have people embedded in our universities we worn why our college students are taking on some viewpoints incredibly radical not just to america but allies across the globe at the end of the day that is happening at gw so many colleges joe biden and his administration, coupled with radical democrat mayors, terrible da's, unfortunately some police departments not most but a handful are not

taking public safety he seriously not protecting civil rights of students. they have a job to do but unfortunately democrats more concerned about this election making sure they get coalition out, opposed to right thing protecting students rights on campuses. >> incredibly disappointing an overall story reaction from this white house. how do you stop it? i know that some faculty members are part of these protesters i know for a fact some were arrested because part of the antagonists. >> a couple things first you stop it by local law enforcement, doing its job. and engaging many encampment moving them they are trespassing mayors, in d.c. karen bass los angeles some mayors got to step up lead not

play politics, and not could you tore portion of their political base, because that is what protesters are, agitators a portion of the radical democrat base but number three really number one overall, joe biden has got to step up lead america, maria we know he is not capable of this this man no leader but for crying out loud at some point you got to lead somewhere, america knows that this will not happen under donald trump, because donald trump would have led day one to make sure, that these agitator protests have gone away too far students intimidated he would not tolerate that we have to look at article vi, of 1964 civil rights act. >> of a do you want to hold back, funding federal funding for universities? >> i do, if you are going to have a university takes

federal more than but not going to protect civil rights of students, on their campuses, they don't deserve federal funds, in my opinion. >> you made a great point about the president biden waited 10 days today going to holocaust museum for ten days didn't hear a peep out of this president anti-semitism raging across the country why not. >> the man is not a leader we know this seen same script time and time againings afghanistan he waiting, what happened before russia invaded ukraine he waited, october 7 he waited the only way to negotiate cease-fire a, i am glad israel taking i don't like rafah need to finish the job the border he never touched it refuses to talk about it joe biden is master of disaster, not a leader we

should not be surprised. >> meanwhile, biden dog all over president trump, trump so-called hush money trial resuming this morning a witness yesterday said did not give money to pay her off manhattan d.a. witness yesterday said trump did not personally direct a trump organization executive to set supreburst plenty to michael cohen matthew colangelo worked in doj trying to prosecute trump to join bragg's team once wording for democrat national committee received thousands of dollars for political consulting in 2018 does none of this matter congressman? the fact so many conflicts from people trying to take trump down? >> well it matters to normal americans but who it doesn't

matter is -- is radical left joe biden a coordinated political attack using the legal system against donald trump. this is third world banana republic stuff the democrat agenda has been so awful they know they cannot beat donald trump in fair fight so they got to cheat, now they have to bring up crazy trumped up charges in court to distract from a disaster of the democrat agenda that is what happened colangelo is a political hit man call it what it is america. that is who he is. maria: we still have upset, and fighting underway in the house, among republicans, did you see what with hakeem jeffries said on "60 minutes", let's play it watch this. >> even though we're in the minority, we effectively have been governing as if we were in the majority, because we continue to provide a majority

of the votes necessary to get things done, those are just the facts. >> so who is in charge congressman the democrats or republicans? i thought you all had the majority. >> maria we have the majority but i got to be honest with you, the packages going to the house floor, that is packages the senate likes white house likes, that democrats like they have been voting for it so, i would implore our leadership team you have to stand stronger in negotiations not just at the end of the game when you get to deadlines when you stack up what packages you are going to deal with bills negotiate a bottom line we could have been tougher on a lot of things could have demanded a lot more things for the american people through the budget, nice -- fisa house did not get the job

done. >> some of trump's hopefuls had a private lunch at mar-a-lago over the weekend did president interest ask you to be his vice presidential candidate. >> no, he didn't make that ask i was there being supportive of the president with a lot of my colleagues who are governors, that we have resources to wage a fight against joe biden instain agenda go donald j. trumpcom if americans stand together against craziness from radical relatively donald trump will be next president of the united states. >> always a pleasure to see you. thanks very much. >> thank you, maria. >> all right.

maria: welcome back. . time for hot topic of the hour president biden yesterday, hosted a cinco de mayo celebration in the rose garden renewing demands congress give recipients permanent status in country emphasized a focus on the latino population, watch this. >> we are a nation of immigrants we shouldn't forget everybody said why so fundamentally focused on latin ooh, proposition you make up 28% of the students in america. idea we are not going to pay attention dumbest thing i ever heard look. we have your back. >>. >> uh -- i believe he once said he grew up in part oro rican area, he said fundamentally focused on latinos. >> he will say anything to get

elected this focus on are minorities is going to backfire, in the long term i mean when it comes to minorities, many are first or second generation immigrants we know why people emigrate in the first place and there of opportunity a reason why my great grandparents came from hung are a rely a hundred years ago land of opportunity the mentality allows immigrants, minorities hard workers very few we talk about that aren't, because of that mentality a reason why trump gained almost double black vote since 2016, 17% black vote o up from 8 or 9% in 2016 tied with biden for hispanic votes no we're in biden is saying whatever he wants, tied with trump when it comes to the hispanic vote. maria: let's be clear you are talking about your grandparents great grandparents, emigrateing to america in a legal way. >> exactly. >> they came legally they went

through the process of become legal citizens, what criticism is, from the republicans on joe biden is he is allowing he illegal integration illegals into the country overwhelming those trying to do the legal way your thoughts. >> someone did it legal way i can, to system what i think this is planting the seed for i think amnesty likely people to desperate to get votes, basically americans want votes, now looking at all people that are in this country illegally, i think we are looking more likely they are going to try to start sowing seeds for amnesty before election no other reason border is wide-open doesn't make sense i that i scary path as we head towards november. >> ten million people having come in on joe biden's watch, now he is trying to slam

former president trump, claiming that his rhetoric on immigrants is bad he wants to deport everybody. >> the same interview my predecessor vowed to use u.s. military to deport 11 million people here in america. he says shouldn't be here, military, to deport 11 million people in america he calls immigrants rapists, murderers said not people they are poisoning blood of our country, folks, that is not who we are that is not america. >> thomas, border obviously, being wide-open has also brought in have would be terrorists i think 300 people or is mr. on terrorist watch list who have been apprehend at the open border. >> as trump has been saying not great effort people into this country you see from

violence shown border rioting with people i think why biden is using trump talking points going to deport illegals i think a great thing i think a lot of people think wow. trump is going to do that, that is great news 11 million people in this country illegally, it is illegal a crime to enter this country illegally, you have committed the crime sent back a great campaign promise i think trump is going to keep pushing that even more people want that. >> um-hmm great point all right. a short break then a take a look at why some officials are saying full impact of hire interest rates, has yet to be felt on this economy former council economic advisories chairman kevin hassett here to break it down that is next you are watching "mornings with maria" live from the milken institute here in los angeles, stay with us. .

warning the full impact of higher interest rates has yet to come federal reserve bank of new york president williams also said eventually we will have rate cuts for now monetary policy in very good places from milken institute global conference in l.a. former council economic advisers chairman, distinguished fellow in economics stanford university, hoover institute kevin hassett back great to see you your take on all of this so i understand fed messaging out forget rate cuts. >> fed not able to cut rates this year, but also not high enough, if you look at inflation data, last three months running almost 5%, and fact is fed needs to go up from here not down, kind of in denial about that, one metric i see strongly in data that is union wages contracts being

negotiated last year kicked in first are quarter year-over-year wages up 6 1/2% firms that gave hos increases to workers have to raise prices that is a a wedge price spiral in the midst of something we understand yet fed seems not to going to leave rates where they are inflation going up to 4, 5%. >> do you think there is a threat fed could raise interest rates. >> data will -- >> he was spot-on -- >> always spot-on, but point is yeah fed is going to look at the data by june, july see they lost control again just almost exactly like a corollary saying transitory, that we're in control high enough when inflation is running right about at interest rate we've got wage price spiral going on makes no sense. >> don't you think a major disappointment for stock market will we see a sell-off in stocks in a rate hike.

yeah. >> consumer credit report out economists expecting credit is going to rise to 15 billion dollars preliminary reading of may consumer sentiment out on friday your thoughts on mack store as headlines look good but even journal reporting consumers are fed up with high cost of food -- ditching brands as a result right restaurant chains some food manufacturings reporting sliding sales to consumers inability or refusal to pay up for prices. >> consumers have been borrowing not maximum on credit cards interest rates really high, against on rating but paying 25, 30%, as interest rate on credit card almost maxed out people are getting the end, thelma and louise driving towards the cliff i think about to hit a wall or hit a cliff. >> in election year there will be moves this white house will

likely take to make story better into the election, do you agree with that. >> i don't know i don't know much left they can do can they get oil prices lower. no, not at all media can pretend it is nice i think probably what is going to happen everybody going to say inflation under control, look economy not so bad, i think kind of thing you are going to see. >> oil underlying issue in some cases in terms of inflation elevated it has jobs below 80 dollars a barrel has what is your expectation for oil. >> depends on global economy so if europe this week it is almost in recession, that lowers their plan for oil can make us get a little bit ahead on price of oil i would guess looking at 70 a barrel by the end of the year stuff like that. macrostory has been slowing considerably 4.9% growth third quarter last year, 1.6% first quarter do you expect it to decline. no, i think will stay about

where it is the risky outlook for me i have never seen the case in in issuing judge so undemocratic unconstitutional in rulings against president trump looks like a conspiracy to put him in jail behind bars if president trump in chains going to rikers i haled would you buy u.s. treasurys next day what i am really worried about short term risk if democrats are serious in lawfare succeed we have become a banana republic the moment they take him to ricers i can't imagine. >> if that materializes markets will take note. >> markets will take note. >> yields will -- >> go way, way up. maria: an important insight you are right. i think people will look at that as a symbol of a changed america. >> if swiss investor thinking

should i apply u.s. bonds see trump going to rikers, ridiculous charges you are not going to want to buy bonds. >> what a great point, we've got fighting, protesting about the israel war, of course, it happened yesterday protesters at hunter college in manhattan marched up to the net gala your so son was at columbia about to graduate? how are you feeling. >> very angry, they stupidly canceled freshman year so kids didn't have a freshman year now o commencement a president would do that i think a monster story could i see a revolt, work group, my goodness everybody is ready to launch a lawsuit, seek injunction, a nieces sue
