>> this is trump's party and trump's issues and won by 20 point-blank layupses in south carolina, her home state. can't tell me that's a party on the brink. >> nvidia was the key to it, now it's gotten to a point where it's the only thing people want to buy, it's the only thing people want to talk about. >> there's a lot that we can do. it's just that biden doesn't have the fortitude to do what's necessary. >> covid really changes the way people work and i'm really worried about how those huge losses and commercial real estate are going to affect the banks. >> dot people that are having something of a fit now or come around and do something they don't like.

stuart: concerned about the look of new york city. we must have a filter on the lens because it's not as dark and cloudy as that. lauren: it's wet and rainy. i'm look out the window here and it looks dark. stuart: people visiting new york and placing like this. 11:00 eastern time on this monday, february 26. look at markets, not that much movement with the dow up 15 and nasdaq up 60, s&p down 4. very little movement on a monday morning. now, look at nvidia, the stock that everybody keeps on talking about. up a little bit more, inching closer to $800 sackmary share. yeah, that's right. that's right at $2 trillion valuation as we speak. some of the other tech names, they're all over the place this monday. we do have amazon up because this is its first day on the dow. the rest of them are down.

microsoft, meta, alphabet, apple are down. yield on 10-year treasury moving above 4.25% and at 427. now this. the bureaucrats are at it again. running your life without legislation, changing the rules, no vote required. then environmental protection agency run entirely by the climate crowd wants to cut the amount of particulate matter in the air by 25%. now that's a big cut. very hard to achieve. the epa don't care about that. they will use this rule to hold up projects that rely on fossil fuels and even most of this dust in the air comes from wild fires, farms, road works, so, let's suppose you want to build a infract reigns leading, you'll neat a -- factory, you'll need a permit and show the project meets the new dust rules. do you know how much that'll cost consultants, lobbyists and rule change or delays and costs

rise. dust permits. california for example, they've got plenty of particulate matter from wild fires and they'll get a waiver in deep blue state, california. you think texas would? get out of here. all of this without a vote. you have no say, they're imposed from gas stoves to electric vehicles and jump from deep states to epa. nothing changes till this very green administration is voted out. third hour of varney just getting warmed up.

steve forbes here with me today in new york city. what do you think of the deep state? >> it's modern socialism and the old marks thought you had to possess things and modern show, control the economy and everyone's lives through massive regulation and this is an example of it and make a very good point. none of these things like internal combustion engines and go to court and on and on and on. modern convenience under attack, gas stoves, fridges, heaters, aair conditioners. remember the thing called a dishwashers, they could wash dishes, three hours, four hours instead of one hour. part and parcel of controlling every aspect of your life. stuart: only way around that is the vote, isn't it? green administration getting people that run the deep state from on top and order them what to do. >> absolutely. start to give the president power to change those top parts

of the pinata seizure disorders. assuming it's trump presidency and this election is so important. we're going to use liberty and people pointed out including frenchman of business country 1820s and tyranny controlling small aspects of your life and leads to big things and dishwasher regulations are humorous but are very, very important. you hit on something very important. dust particulates and tail pipe emissions and all about control stuart: well done, steve. >> history departments don't anymore. stuart: they don't. there's no such thing as a history department in a high school. donald trump is prenyls, i think

it's kaled -- pledging tit for tat tariff ifs he win as second term. >> if china or any other country makes awes pay a tariff of let's say 100 or 200 or 300% and do that, we'll make them pay # a reciprocal tariff of 100 or 200 or 300% right back. it's called you screw us and we screw you. he has a unique way of talking, doesn't he? nobody ants what he's saying. >> that's why he's the front runner. stuart: that's right. is that good trade policy? does that give us diplomatic leverage if he did that tit for tat tariffs on china? >> no, one thing to sit down and do a trade agreement with a country or region, which we should do. tariff is a tax, tariffs is a sales tax. putting on a sales tax, it hurts

everybody. hurts the other country, hurts us and there are more positive ways of dealing with trade disparities. that's been ongoing since the world war ii and largely successfully and had the global economy and the very strong economy till recently and that's why we've got to get back to it. one thing to go after china for certain things but remember, tariff is a tax. stuart: got it. steve forbe, thanks for being here. always appreciate it. thank you, sir. back to the markets, please. wouldn't have that much price change for stocks so far this morning. little bit of dow down, nasdaq up and jason katz here and going with a few weeks ago on the dow hitting new highs. now what? will the s&p reach 5200 or will the dow reach 40,000? what do you got to say? >> well, path of least resistance has been to the upside and as we say on wall

street, the pain trade has been to the upside. and the very reasons i sided with you a few short reasons ago are still in tact and earning surprise and jobs are plentiful and hedge funds are caught wrong footed and covering their shorts and fear of missing out is alive and well amongst a lot of individual investors and lastly ai is this gift that keeps on giving. it's aloy outdoor for stock pricing and earnings forecast and that all being said, one piece of the puzzle that's not inflation. it's not at the fed's target. we've come far and come fast. i caution investors. don't abandon ship but incremental purchasing happening as a snail's pace. stuart: is ai as big a deal as say the internet? >> i'd argue bigger.

it's as real as rain and seeing imnatimminent and tangible thins producing the product and those leveraging it. one of the reasons that 80% of the companies beat expectation this is year is they're doing more with less. multiples on the is to bees are full and fair. not what they were in 1999. that was crazy and i'd caution investors not to blindly buy anything with an ai next to it. stuart: what do we get rate cut s? >> they're on the way but at a much smaller scale. i think the markets estimating 22% chance in may. we have out of consensus call and not like 25, 25, 25. they're going to wait and at the end of the year, i bet 50 or

maybe even a 7 a 5. i'd look to quantitative tightening and therein lies the key and the fed sun likely to let as many bonds run off or sell as many bonds. that will keep a lit on long term interest rates. good st. thank you, jason. lauren is back looking at movers and i want to see alphabet and google. lauren: we plan to relaunch. ai tool that created historical figures inaccurately. the pope was not white, founding fathers were not white. they plan to do so in the next few weeks suggesting that a, it was wrong but b, it takings time to fix. stock down 3.3%. stuart: they came up with a female pope at one stage. that was a mistake. salesforce, let's get into that. new high i believe, 299. lauren: yeah, 301 is the high ahead of earnings on wednesday and jeffries going up 20%, $350 a share and modest increase in

demand and city agrees they go to $325. stuart: next one, talk about palo alto and 9% lifting entire cybersecurity sector and 3, 4% gains for palantir, et cetera. there's no reason behind this and it's arguably for the earnings report last week and with ai now in the budget of every company in the world and cybersecurity. >> coming for them and spending. stuart: down came the stock and everybody realizes it with nvidia and at&t story. the outage. that wouldn't cybersecurity and made people nervous what could happen. stuart: some states want to stop social media companies from censoring posts on their sites saying it's the new open forum and we'll break it down for you.

arizona. rachel cam posi campos-duffy wiw in -- rachel campos-duffy at a indian reservation now migrant housing. reporter: i want you to know i went back this morning, these places are guarded and protected like cia black sites. they threw bricks at camera men, they took his phone and threw it. it was incredible. we have no idea why they're so seek ragainitive about it. let -- secretive about it. we went last night to one affiliated with catholic relief services. this is what happened when we walked in. what you're seeing this basically an unmarked building. all signage is removed and that's the first sign you know that this is an ngo, nongovernmental organization. in this case kcasa elitas that

are housing illegal immigrants. >> reporter: is this not a hotel? >> can you exit the property. it's private property. reporter: who's private property? there's no name outside. >> exit the building. reporter: is this where illegals are being housed with government funding? >> please get off the property. all of you, call the police. reporter: please call them. hi, what is this? >> you need to leave, please. reporter: i need to know what it is. oh, casa elitas. this is ngo paid for my government money. >> we're not answering your questions. reporter: can you explain what you do here? >> no. reporter: why so much secrecy. that's what the american people want to understand. what's happening here. why? >> he'll wait with you here till you leave.

[speaking non-english language]. >> ewe guys cannot come into our shelter. reporter: stuart. we're right now steeps from the boarder and saw a group of 30 illegal migrants and a little over 100 waiting to be processed. most of the ones i talked to come from mexico. but what you just saw there in that package, stuart, casa sensorineural elitas part of a very vast network of ngos and cutouts for the biden administration and democratic party to implement their policy of funneling illegals from latin america all the way into the united states of america. we have no idea how many more of these unmarked hotels are being used to house them and it's very interesting, very secretive and

clearly not very proud of the work they do and don't want to tell us what what's going on inside the buildings. stuart: thank you very much, rachel. seeing you again real soon. i know it. reporter: you got it, stuart. stuart: republican from the great state of kansas, senator marshal. you're on homeland security committee. what executive action from biden could he take today that would secure the border? >> stu, tell rachel to be very careful out there first of all but he could go back to remain in mexico and stop parole. joe biden with 2 million illegal immigrants and trump with president and 10 or 20,000 people in their four years and stopping parole remain in mexico probably eliminates about 80% of the people illegally crossing. stuart: the mexican government has to accept that and they'll say, yeah, we'll take him back. they wouldn't, would they?

>> number one trade partner and manager with national trade program and more. stuart: president biden going to the boarder and same day that trump goes to the border and i think that when biden gets this, he'll simply blame the republicans and say this mess is their creation because they wouldn't accept this bill. >> fortunately, stu, the american public is smarter than this and realize 10 people people across the border illegally and 300 americans die today from fentanyl poisoning and human trafficking exploding across the country as well and all related to the car cartels buildup.

stuart: would you rather see the border fixed than fund ukraine? >> yes, i made it very clear. this is the number one issue for americans is the concern for safety and security of their own families. stuart: he's not going to accept funding for the border, which means you could be holding up aid to ukraine and putin wins. >> so be it. stuart: really? >> yeah, there's so many other things that joe biden could do to help the situation in ukraine. we're not doing any bank sanctions on energy, we're letting iran have 500 ghost ships take russian oil to china. additionally by stopping l&g ex-portanovas driving up cost -- exports driving up cost of natural gas. stuart: changing the subject again, another funding deadline coming up this friday and without a deal, we could see the government shut down. perennial story. why can't we get financing organized and straightened out for the government. why? it's going on and on and on. >> listen, what everybody needs to understand in america is joe

biden is chuck schumer want to use the shut down threat as leverage to write the bill. they want an omnibus bill to figure out where all the money will go to and add ukraine funding as well. this is all very skilled that this is what they want to do. our budget committee and the senate appropriations committee finished their job in july of last year and we've yet to bring all those bill tots floor. they want this problem. stuart: yeah, but isn't the fundamental problem that you can't stop american politicians from spending money and that both sides of the fence. you really don't want to cut spending seriously, do you? because if you did, you get a recession and lose the election. sorry, being rather dogmatic here. >> i want a long term fix and we want to go back to budget act of 1974 that requires certain deadlines for the president to submit a budget. we haven't even finished this year's budget let alone work on next year's and past deadline for the president's budget for the next fiscal year and this is no way to run a business and no family runs like this as well

and this is why i support a continuing resolution and a 1% cut and $100 billion saving ands stabilize this inflation issue. stuart: see how it goes and test coming up. senator marshal today in new york. why on earth do you come from new york. we welcome you. really. back to the markets last. i see green for dow industrials and little green for nasdaq up 9 and s&p down 5. i'll say it again, not much movement. magnificent seven stocks on your screen. jeff seeker told us this is the fab four really from seven down to four. he also said it can turn into the terrific two that would be nvidia and microsoft. so we are keep ago very close eye on all the stocks, nvidia up a little, $8 and microsoft down $1.82. coming up, pentagon says ai, artificial intention, could help us monitor china and we'll be

better prepared for invasion of taiwan. we'll explain how that works coming up. 133 days since biden's last interview with a major network and heading to new york with a pretaped interview with late night comedian seth meyers and no real questions and again that's my opinion. joe concha take as closer look, next. ♪

>> i keep saying it, very little price movement this far for the major averages the dow is up three, nasdaq up six, lauren has the movers and i want to start with when these. >> are looking into surge pricing the way that they requested, your burger, only your burger can cost $10 and times square at noon versus $5 at other times, this wouldn't

start until 2025 at the earliest, if you are doing surge pricing for the food industry, obviously you can have a real menu it would have to be a digital menu it would have to be constantly updated, wedne wendys spending $29 million. >> congestion pricing for burgers. >> for fast-food. >> fascinating. >> shall be domino's pizza, the fourth quarter same sales payments drawn to the loyalty program, the revamp in their partnership with uber eats, by the way over today is in the dow jones transportation. stuart: i did not know the data loyalty program but they apparently do. the president is facing steep criticism for a teleprompter during a meeting with governors at the white house, peter doocy is there and also reports to the president is using notecards at fundraisers, that sounds great to me. >> we don't spend the time at

closed-door fundraisers but that's what he's doing so to try to counter some of the narrative about old age and acuity president biden reelection has dispatch their top surrogate to argue old age not a problem with the president by his acuity is on display every day. >> it is because of his age that he's been so successful is not even an interesting conversation i think it's a damning conversation and frankly the other side wants us to have. >> were talking about this because axios is reporting president biden is relying on more cards behind closed doors, part of the report says the stage q&a has left donors wondering whether biden can withstand the rigors of a presidential campaign let alone presidential debates with former president trump 77 that met no free-flowing conversation with three dozen governors who met with president biden on friday. >> we're allowed to prearrange questions one for the democrats and one for the republicans and

the presidents responded, i think we were disappointed. >> biden is hoping to change the subject of little bit and maybe he has a sense of humor arena fundraising swing in new york city he's going to stop at the seth meyers late night comedy show, not the format that you can usually read a punchline often no card. stuart: wait-and-see, peter doocy, the white house. we all have a cue card not a note card. a big sign, save this. thank you very much. a perfect time to bring in joe concha, biden's cheat sheet fundraiser are worrying donors, what is going on. >> if you need cheat sheets, this long into a presidency we are three years in or so in your vice president for eight years you were cited for decades and you still need to be told what to say on questions and that you know are coming.

that should be alarming for most americans, there is an abc news poll out earlier this month showing nine in ten americans think that this man does not have the mental acuity to be president, not now and certainly not four years from now. when news like this gets out and by the way why does biden know what questions are coming, he just can't handle this on his own, i think most voters look at this and they say i don't know if this is somebody i could support given that even his donors are worried at this point. stuart: the president is heading to new york city and is going to do an interview he's taping an interview with seth meyers, here's what i think it's good to be a softball interview he's not exactly answering questions and his tape so he can edit this thing. what say you. >> i heard it's going to be taped in the early afternoon about 3:00 o'clock or so. if you run into seth meyers who is the biggest fan boy of joe biden there is on television and

that's really saying something it shows weakness. if you want to do an interview not to be seen, seth meyers is the show to go one he could barely get 700,000 to put that into the context, gutfeld gets three times that much. that's where we are at this point and we know the questions are to be about the good be about donald trump and how horrible he is and that's 90% another 5% defending biden's age and another 5% joe biden's love for his son hunter. that's where we get a land at this point i don't think it will be a softball interview it'll be a t-ball interview if you take a beach ball and put it up. a little bit easier to hit. stuart: that is cruel but i have another one, sportscaster repeated to trump his supporters, watch this. >> he is by far the most disgraceful figure in modern presidential history, you have to be in the throes of a toxic

delusion and a toxic colt to believe that donald trump has ever been in any sense emotionally, psychologically, intellectually or ethically fit to be president of the united states. his supporters are locked in on that. >> i'm almost laughing is this a deplorable moment? >> yes we saw how that worked out when hilary clinton did that in 2016 i would argue that was the turning point in that election. anyone who comments on politics are candidates or leaders in general they want to criticize someone like trump for xyz and policy in reality that is fair game just as it is criticizing joe biden or any democrat but once you attack a candidate supporter who seems more votes than any republican presidential candidate in history by a country mile, that is where you lose the message, by the way on policy are you part of a toxic colt if you agree that trump is better equipped to handle border

security and how to do it, what if you think that donald trump is more equipped to lower inflation and gas prices, they sell trump's foreign policy in a world that was much were stable and at peace that we are now. if you agree with trump on all of that and you plan to vote for him how does that make you part of a toxic colt, i don't understand the argument of going after some of the voters it is not smart and you lose the message. stuart: shades of hilary clinton. joe concha you're alright, we will see you again soon. thank you very much. president trump has not announced a running mate, who did the people want to see as trump's vp. >> interesting, south dakota governor, kristi noem and biotech entrepreneur vivek ramaswamy came in tied for first place with 15% each of the boat on saturday straw poll former hawaii representative tulsi gabbard came in second and 9%

followed by house republican conference chair elise stefanik and senator tim scott at 8%, byron donalds kaman was 7%. arizona senator candidate carried like 6% while ben carson, ron desantis and arkansas governor sarah huckabee sanders got each 5%. by the way nikki haley no big surprise got less than 5% but kristi noem and ramaswamy are among the cpac voters. stuart: thank you so much, cases of a nasty stomach bug are on the rise. will ask doctor siegel what to look out for and how best to protect yourself. elon musk accused of not fulfilling his obligation to the u.s. military, lawmakers worry that the tech in case of chinese aggression a full report next. ♪

stuart: military experts say artificial intelligence could help america monitor china's intentions with taiwan. how exactly would a.i. help. >> think software not hardware or a surveillance drone constantly feeding back a.i. analysis. the problem our intel can pick up on provocation to the region but we can't tell is that a drill or is that going to be an actual invasion how can you use a.i. in machine learning to differentiate, there is a sense that invasion is imminent this is from three years ago admiral philip davidson told congress taiwan is one of china's ambitions and i think the threat has manifest during this decade in the next six years which means admiral is correct china would make the move in the next three years since he said that

in 2021. stuart: a.i. will help us spot it. >> and three years a.i. will be developed. >> a group of house republicans demanding more from that u.s. troops stationed in taiwan gain asset to starship technology. hilary vona capitol hill has elon musk responded to that. >> not yet but he has until march 8 to get back to lawmakers after they asked him to explain how spacex star shield that provides broadband internet services is not accessible in taiwan republicans on the house select committee on china say u.s. forces in taiwan are not able to access the services and they want to know why after the department of defense has dumped $100 million in american taxpayer money into starling infrastructure with the understanding that u.s. forces would get to use it. the chair of the select committee mike gallagher writing this basics is possibly withholding broadband internet services in and around taiwan
