♪ stuart: any time we play tom petty, it makes me happy. of the four concerts i've been to, one was tom petty in new york city. >> only four. stuart: yeah. love the music, keep it going. there's sixth avenue new york city. 11:00 eastern time. friday, february 23. take a look at that market. the nasdaq turned south and sharply high when we opened trading, but the dow is holding onto 186 point gain and then there's nvidia, look at it go. right at breaking point, 786 and had an extraordinary showing yesterday and again this morning.

they're all up and down and meta higher by five-cents, microsoft, amazon, alphabet, apple all on the downside. 10 year treasury yield is down, 4.29%. now this. numbers are stunning, nvidia went up $277 billion on thursday alone. a gain of more than a quarter trillion in one 6.5 hour trading session. it is artificial intelligence that has ignited the stock market. wall street now accounts for half the value of all the stock markets in the world. in the last generation, it's american technology that's rendition of anthony crated three world game changers. the internet created by u.s. -- but us actually and developed by american companies, fracking: invested and developed by american oil and revolutionized energy supply and now ai, brought to us by california's silicon valley. these game changers came from

private enterprise, scientists, mathematicians, entrepreneurs working together to pursue profit and a dream. all american and the rest of the world nips at our heels. but already, just as ai arriveses we normouse impact, the -- with enormous impacts, the democrats are looking to reign it in. they say it's a billionaire's play fake and it must be bad. vast amounts of energy for the tackle four or five times as much of energy and non-ai search. some democrat senators limit ai's climate impact. if the government wants to be useful, it could figure out how to generate all the electricity we're going to need. at the moment, the grid is not going to cope. wind and solar don't make it. my point here is we're at the beginning of a revolution that looks powerful and far reaching.

as "the wall street journal" assessed today, ai advances are happening despite government not because of it. it is american developed and american-led, we should really keep it that way. third hour of varney starts now. stuart: tepper with me for the entire hour. i hope the government doesn't kill it. >> if the government wants to control it and throttle back ai technology here in the united states, our adversaries are not going to do the same thing it. your prior comments about us leading the way over the last several technological and industrial revolutions, we have to continue to be at the forefront of this. we have to incentivize nvidia to continue to innovate and be at the front leading edge of this movement. stuart: encourage them.

>> absolutely. stuart: don't discourage them. >> look, case in point, tesla. tesla was the world's biggest ev maker until this administration decided they didn't like elon musk, they didn't like tesla. you can't do that . you can't inhibit these companies from doing what they're meant to do as private enterprises. stuart: stay on nvidia for a second, could the value of nvidia overtake the value of apple by the end of this year? that's a stretch. >> this year would be aggressive. i think end of next year is very realistic and that can happen. i cannot believe i'm going to say this right now, but i believe that nvidia, when you look at its valuation relative to its growth, it's actually cheap. i mean, you look at, it's trading at 33 times forward earning ands 33% expected long term earnings growth and peg ratio, pe to growth ratio of 1.0. the market is at like 1.8. apple at like 2.1. obviously the lower that number is. the more attractive a stock is

priced given its growth trajectory. yeah, i do think it could happen. stuart: that was a very interesting viewpoint. thank you, mark. stay there. bring in batya. nvidia is american developed and american led and we should keep it that way. what say you? >> i mean, we don't want the chinese controlling our ai; right? the problem seems to be there always seems to have to be someone at the hell and will we saw with gemini, google's disastrous latest chat bot it was completely woke, but then when you hear someone like elon musk saying he's going to start his own ai, this is a man with deep, deep ties to the chinese communist party; right. he's not woke, that's good. he believes in free speech, that's good. yet this is a man who builds a showroom for tesla in the shin

jung region and what's going to happen when you ask his chat bot tell me about the weaker genocide. are you getting a picture of showroom for tesla in shin jung? stuart: white house reporters reportedly feeling the heat from the administration. the white house says the media has been negative and enam rat in the coverage of the -- inaccurate in the coverage of the president. what's your response? is the media too negative on biden of all people? >> stu, you've got to realize what they just admitted. in admitting now they're finally speaking up about the president's mental problems and mental acuity; right, they are retroactively admitting they have been hiding this from the american people for years; right. all the time the white house was upset about their coverage. it's not that president biden

was having fewer gaffes, he wasn't, it's that the media and mass decided we're not going to cover this. they just at mitted they've been -- admitted they've been lying to the person people for two years. it is appalling. stuart: they've been activated because the president's cognitive disability is becoming more and more obvious and you can't ignore it. the white house simply does not give the media access to the president. they're shielding him and natural they'd revolt and say what's going on here? >> honestly, you're giving them too much credit, stu. i think it was the report that came out of the biden doj that's supposed to be on their side. it broke the dam and people are not lemming for themselves and no one is step out step with the left. everybody has to be in lock step when the hur report came out it broke the dam and in the lock step they've all decided we're allowed to talk about this now like the lemmings they are. stuart: wonder if they'll keep up. if biden is the nominee, will

they keep on having a go at him for his cognitive ability? what do you think? will they rally around him eventually? >> there's no situation in which the craven media take as look at donald trump and joe biden is doesn't side with joe biden. they're incapable of admitting the strengths of the trump presidency. donald trump was the biggest threat to the olek oligarchy ofe elites and he's craven and elites and economist experts or media and reveals how vacuous our elites are and they hate him and can't allow him to stand. that's why you're seeing 91 indictments. stuart: fascinating. batya un-g unger-sargon, thank u

for joining us. lauren: this is the stock that chilled the market. i got worried about nvidia earnings because they came out and said i'm looking at my notes from that day, they said spending is slowing on cybersecurity because of investments on ai. customers are cutting back. nvidia came out and surprised to the upside. stuart: not bad. 22.78 a share up 4%. warner bros discovery. lauren: down. bigger than expected loss. stock up 6.5% and studio revenue fell 17.5 because of hollywood strikes and less spending on good content. stuart: sleep slumber -- no, sleep number. sorry. lauren: the sleep people. that's what i said, wow. demand for mattresses and beds are not up. they reported a loss, but they're doing a lot of cost

cutting and they're charging higher prices so their gross margins will improve and that's encouraging investors. stuart: that's a third gain of one-third hawaii a market. lauren, thank you very much, indeed. coming up, one in four children in new york city living in poverty despite this mayor adams forging ahead to give migrants millions in prepaid debit cards and we're all over that one. it's friday and feel good story. here's dave portnoy's heart warming adoption of the famous miss beaches. roll it. >> i was told you were perfect angel, miss peaches. well this, i was told you were a perfect angel. what the heck, mrs. peaches. stuart: mrs. peaches chewed his wallet. un-forgiveness. dave portnoy and mrs. peaches

we don't yet know what impact they would have on his campaign if found guilty in one of the court cases. >> i think the best answer for this is the a month ago in the wall street journal and republicans say how wowed you vote if there's a conviction? i thieves 25 or 26% if memory servings they would go in a different direction and let's see if indead that happens and what are the circumstances for that conviction. stuart: you've had the election and the court case in new york, which appears to be grossly unfair and i can't believe that'll turn people away from trump. >> there's another one with alvin bragg and another week or so. i'm only exercising caution on the number i expressed a month ago because a lot of things change with this guy and the public changes with him too. see if that was a firm 25, 26% in a couple months.
