stuart: we are playing macho man, the village people tomorrow trump's favorite songs he plays it is rallies. what are you seeing? lauren: how do you know that? stuart: up to speed on things. good morning, 10:00 eastern, straight to the money. dow is down one hundred 73, nasdaq down 172. the 10 year treasury yield going down, down 4. 13%. that's interesting. the price of oil 77, $78, bitcoin, a standout story, it hit 68, it is really close to all time highs. just received information on an

important sector of the economy, services sector. neil: coming in at 14. 6 in the month of february, defined at 3.6. the prices to pay for these orders in the services sector falling steeply. 11 month high, 64, came down 58.6. over to you, jay powell. stuart: thought the market reported positively to that, the downside move. may be powell had -- stuart: 50 on the nasdaq. now this. the only way to beat donald trump is at the ballot box, the wonderful truth about democracy. they mounted a massive legal

challenge to the former president and use the courts to veto it. they claim to be defending democracy and are doing the opposite. tried to decide one state who can be on the ballot in the other 49 states, makes america look like a banana republic, the supreme court told them to get lost but democrat jamie raskin, to keep insurrectionist like trump off the ballot. we should member trump has never been charged or convicted of insurrection. in new york, leticia james has twisted the law because she wants to get trump. trump has been fined $355 billion which which is over $400 million. you think she is saving democracy by trying to bankrupt a political opponent?

in georgia, it is political persecution, in trouble because of alleged prosecutorial misconduct. in the documents case, to retain classified material, biden has been knowingly doing it for decades. biden's main line is breaking down, he plans to haul him into court, find him guilty, keep him off the ballot, find him, bankrupt him, drive him out of business, couldn't beat him on the issues or the age issue. he had left was to slide him in court, that was his problem and now it is in shambles. you don't save democracy by politicizing the legal system. democracy survives at the ballot box, it is an inconvenient truth. second hour of varney getting started.

the gentleman on the right-hand side of the screen is with me now. do you agree biden's -- is breaking down? >> marvelous "my take," fascinating snapshot of where we are, it becomes more obvious as we look at the total picture. the reason as we see all of these efforts, to bankrupt him, destroy his family, these efforts fall apart. when we are left with the issues we look at the polls and see president biden tanking in the polls? because actually what people care about our the issues. they care about the border, they care about security, they care about the economy, that's what people care about and at

some level they realize they are losing on those issues so their only hope is to try to go to the courts and destroy the guy, bankrupt him. put him in jail, when you look back at it now, it is also obvious and that the other thing important to remember, the campaign hadn't begun yet, they haven't begun debating the issues because we are so busy all this time dealing with all this nonsense, imagine where we will be in the polls and things like that after 8 months of debate. i don't think president biden has anywhere to go but down. stuart: nikki haley joined nikki haley ahead of that. >> i'm a conservative republican. i have been all my life. the problem is right now everybody saying if you don't support donald trump you are a

democrat. that's terrible and not unifying and won't get anyone to win a general election. i'm a conservative republican. i would not run as an independent or no labels because i'm a republican and that is who i have always been so that's my focus. stuart: i want to link that with your op-ed, loser nikki haley mining for humiliation after winning the endorsement of voters. is she done in this race? what's this mining for humiliation? >> it is interesting she comes on fox and interesting, and leaves the door open to run as third party spoiler when she could potentially rip donald trump very badly, i don't know what she's up to, the race is over, it's done.

and there wasn't a path for her. don't know if she's doing it because she likes to stand in large crowds and get applauded. she has invented new ways of losing, she lost to none of the above in nevada. she lost her home state by double digits to donald trump, her one victory is in the district of columbia, a journalist from the washington post registered as a republican so he could vote for her. she is winning the democrat vote. don't know she's doing damage to donald trump but she's not helping herself. stuart: thanks, see you again soon. fani was could be disqualified from trump's election interference case. what's the latest on this?

lauren: was before she hired him? if it was, that's a conflict of interest to. our relationship started after she hired him but the defense reportedly wants to put a witness on the stand who says they had been lovers and number 2, willis warned wade's attorney to keep the relationship going. stuart: prosecutorial misconduct. president biden looking to hold companies accountable, talking price gouging, a special strikeforce? >> whole of government action to go after companies for illegally inflating prices. that the academic pitch. is that why you are paying so much? it is a strike as you say led

by department of justice, and to crackdown on junk fees, grocery prices. stuart: look at bitcoin, an all-time high, it had $69,000, at $60,000. it is minutes ago. that's coming back a little bit. down 200 on the nasdaq. the lower inflation reading services report helped the market more than that and down to low levels. scott shelladdy, why are you so worried about the magnificent seven? scott:it is more of an interest rate question. gemini stumbled. tesla struggling. don't have a lot of pundits on

your show, trees grow to the sky. if i put money on something, and we get much better price markets. still laughing about lahren in san francisco, it is so bad in san francisco, they have to resort to common sense. i own the website commonsense.com. haven't done anything with it yet. that's why i am sitting here today. if i have to employ common sense, you will get a better price in equities because they were creating $100 trillion of debt every hundred days. that's something we will come to a reckoning with.

last quarter we spent $330 billion in gdp but it cost us $830 billion to do it. when it comes to real estate, that's a bigger, slower market. the supply and demand issue, that will be okay. when you talk about different time frames, just not confident. basically built on nvidia and taylor swift. stuart: much better deal in equities. thanks for joining us. i've got to figure out what is going on with tesla, down 3%.

adam: several days after a fire at a nearby transmission tower, it will cost 100 million -- stuart: and inventor meant that is environmentalist did that. don't know why on earth, why would they go after environmental costs in -- lauren: they don't like capitalism. they expand to that area? stuart: a dialysis firm. lauren: to treat kidney disease below investors expectation, that's a negative for the potential of such drugs to create health problems beyond diabetes and weight loss. blue and coin base is at a new high. lauren: up 3.3%, bitcoin, a high for bitcoin, 69,202, we are in the moment of price discovery for the token and i

want to point out that kathy would sold $30 million coin base at a record high 239. stuart: all right. vice president harris met with benjamin netanyahu's rival at the white house calling for an immediate cease-fire in gaza. who makes america's policy on israel, the president or vice president? mediators of extended after they ended with no breakthrough. trey yingst as the latest from tel aviv after this. ard? freeze in your tracks?

stuart: in the markets, plenty of red ink, the nasdaq extended-225. negotiators will remain in cairo for another day. cease-fire talks stick around for another day, we are days from the start of rallying. trey yingst, bill they get a deal done before the holiday? trey:a great question. the short answer is we don't know. i spoke with a senior hamas official who laid out the terms the group has for the israelis. that official saying there are 3 sticking points, hamas is looking for a comprehensive cease-fire, this drawl of israeli from the gaza strip and they want to allow people who have been displaced from their houses to return without conditions which any deal would include the release of hostages in exchange for palestinian prisoners.

both sides claim the other's demands are unreasonable so the gap remains on a solid agreement. these religious areas expect to enter gaza's southernmost city of raqqa if talks are part. 1 million palestinians are sheltering their. northern gaza, were distally needed aid fell from the sky amid joint american and jordanian aid drops. questions about how the situation in gaza will affect the broader region 150 days into the war, a lebanese militant from hezbollah firing rockets into northern israel. stuart: got it. thanks very much indeed. vice president kamala harris met with netanyahu's rival at the white house monday. she once again called for a cease-fire in gaza. kt mcfarland, what is america's policy with israel, and who makes it? the president or the vice president? >> reporter: this is made by the campaign.

hamas knows that israel will begin combat operations and rar raffa. they are down to the final points. hopefully they will be because it is in both parties interests. stuart: what do you think we should do? tell the israelis do what you got to do to beat hamas or pullback? what should we do? kt:it is the bin laden strategy. they want to prevent an israeli victory to fight another day. after september 11th american forces in afghanistan, and three months at a laminated 90% of al qaeda, they went across to pakistan where they regrouped, resupplied,

recalculated and 20 years, that is what hamas wants to do, it wins by losing. it just needs to stay alive to fight another day and went to prevent israel or delay israel from going into radda because that could finish off the leadership. stuart: when will the international community come around the and say hostagetaking is immoral, wrong, disgusting, will it say anything like that? >> not if it is israeli hostages. they've been hostile throughout and that's part of hamas. they might beat them in the court of public opinion. that's why the longer this goes, the more casualties which hamas is happy to have, they want to make israel look like the bad guy.

stuart: it is just disgusting in my opinion. always great. thanks for being with us. president biden did a rare print interview with of the new yorker, radio interviews will air today. is this how botnet hampers plan to keep his gaffes under control, don't ever put him on tv if you can avoid it? two thirds of voters say the economy is stronger under trump then biden. on supertuesday, it is today. monica crowley on that next. ♪

tracked back to the president's policies using the direct line. stuart: a new poll shows voters have a more favorable view of the economy under trump then biden which 59% said it is bad, 28% said the economy was bad under trump. monica crowley is former assistant treasury secretary, joined me now. does biden get any credit for low unemployment rate, relatively strong growth over most other industrial countries, any credit for that from you? >> not for me and not from the american people. whatever growth you are seeing, a lot of these numbers are always revised down, they are revised after the fact, they want a good headline and advised downward and that is because so much money has come into this economy the last

three years, democrat spending creating this inflationary environment. whatever growth you are seeing is government spending, not organic private sector growth we saw under donald trump and i think most of the american people understand that. they are suffering under this astronomical persistent inflation which is crushing the middle-class, working-class and poor. they suffered most. stuart: corporations and price gouging for this inflation. got a strikeforce to look into it. is that what created inflation? >> that ally. we know the direct cause of inflation over the last 3 years since president biden has been president, when the democrats controlled congress, you had a massive push in spending to the tune of $8 trillion in terms of fiscal stimulus and monetary stimulus, money printing, that created this inflationary

spiral. we know the lessons of the 70s, what -- once inflation gets all the ground on the economy it becomes entrenched. it's a painful process to dislodge and that is where we are now. folks the democrats profess to champion the most, they are the ones getting crushed the most by astronomical prices. blue when you and you think that will have an influence on today's elections, big impact from the economy? >> absolutely. paul after poll shows the inflation, economy and jobs are the number one or number 2 issue after illegal immigration and open border. people's lived experiences they can't afford to go to the grocery store. people calling into my podcast a writing to me saying i went to the grocery store and its $30, i can't afford to feed my family so i have to amortize the cost of going out, bringing food home after going out to a

restaurant etc. . these are the difficult choices the average american has to make. under donald trump we had a booming economy with robust economic growth and we had unemployment at or near historic lows. and rising -- little to no inflation so we had a goldilocks economy under trump and people have a fresh memory of that and wanted back. stuart: pretaped radio interviews air today, we've got this rare print interview, president biden in that interview went after donald trump saying, quote, losers are never graceful. i just think he will do anything to try to win, if and when i will think he will contest it. pretaped interviews and print interview. this is a biden basement strategy, heaven for bid they put him on tv, they can't edit

it. stuart: last time he went in front of the cameras it was that disastrous press conference a couple weeks ago where he wanted to prove he was not senile and next up the presidents of mexico and egypt. defeated the purpose. he did not do the traditional super bowl interview. he is not capable of carrying himself in a live situation like live on camera. he cannot do it. they put him in controlled environments where the situations can be edited or it is a print interview where they know they are in a friendly environment and edit him to make him sound coherent and lucid but they see him stumbling, they can't control him. because of covid they could get away with it. they can't a this time. stuart: the state of the union

with eric swallwell, and on the ballot, the he would sponsor insurrection. jack smith wanted to charge with insurrection, hasn't been convicted or charged with insurrection. while in the minority, is insane, trump brought up, and i will give you my prediction. if trump wins in november they start an impeachment the next day especially if he loses the house and republicans have gone out of their way to make it possible to lose the house. so they lose that, it's not in the country's interest for that. that's a win for the president, a reasonable jury in new york, statute of limitations should be tossed on that. the georgia case, have you seen

more inapt people try to take on something as substantial as the president of the united states, that could get tossed, with the document case, the earliest is july but trump says no way, what are we left with. the document case, locks the president and for two months and can't campaign, go to rallies or travel around let alone conviction and if you read the robert hur report, no way this goes after the president on the document case. this guy is jamming top-secret information, leaving it in his garage, behind his couch.
