9:04 am
about rates, if inflation continues to cool, we find out tomorrow the fed is likely to cut rates which makes bitcoin attractive for its yields, bitcoin hit 72, throwing the e etf, the spot bitcoin etf could be approved in great britain, take a look at gold. stuart: i would take you up in a minute. >> 9% gain for micro strategy. gold is coming down a bit and hit a record on friday about 2195. this is the inflation story, tomorrow february cpi, the core rate annually is expected to increase 3.7% that will be the smallest increase since april of 2021. stuart: it is supposed to go up. lauren: coming down from january. still rising but not as much. stuart: that your explanation for gold? lauren: trying to inflation investors will be hunting for yield if inflation pulls. stuart: we have jessica.
9:05 am
lauren: are you going to tell me i'm wrong? stuart: let's start with bitcoin. i think it's going up not so much because of rates and inflation but because of the having takes place in april, will you cut the supply of bitcoin. >> that is right, what happens gold starts to behave like it he of a commodity like oil or precious metals it's about supply and demand in the having remove supply from the market, demand is very high as a result of the etf's buying and now we have bitcoin which is the cat with nine lives has shown it could be every attack i called it the freddy krueger of financial assets because it cannot be killed and now you're at an all-time high in all these etf's are pouring into it, supply coming out, april 19 is the day of having. i think we will have a rally up to that day, a lot of vola volatility, this is a big speculation but probably going
9:06 am
to move higher. stuart: what is your explanation for the price of gold nearly $2200 an ounce. >> gold is behaving in a way that i could ever recall that behaving this way before. as interest rates went up, gold prices came down, now there is no clear indication of when interest rates are going to go up again, down again, gold is still moving up, why is that happening, the central banks are buying physical gold, gold is a hedge against chaos in the world is in chaos and then you see our government that has over 35 trillion in debt and the debt is growing exponentially, the trajectory of the dollar does not look good so people are pouring money into gold and bitcoin. stuart: who would start we would start a monday morning with golden bitcoin we did not have that in the old days, i want to talk to you about cabrini, you
9:07 am
coproduce that it came out friday, big deal how is it doing. >> people that were a lot more instrumental but i've been involved since the beginning, it is doing great, the theaters 2800 across america, what it is showing is an incredible woman francesca cabrini is being celebrated for her accomplishments by people who know her name but do not know who she is and what you see is a rotten tomatoes score, the higher the score the more the audience likes it wet 98% which shows that people really needed to be inspired. if you watch the oscars last night, there was a lot of dark movies coming out of hollywood. we put out a movie which is inspiring and positive and makes people feel good about life, it is definitely worth seeing. stuart: that's why you're on the
9:08 am
show on a monday morning. jessica thank you very much indeed you are a mogul, let's do politics transportation secretary pete buttigieg defending president biden's age, watch this. >> how canadian 1-year-old income to be the candidate of change, that is so critical in presidential elections. >> look at the changes he's brought about, take some of the issues that matter most to newer generations. it's a good example what matters most is the age of a leader's ideas. stuart: look who's here, charlie hurt, the man himself, the new democrat talking point. actual age is not important. >> it sure is, it's really funny it's like the bat signal went up and everybody saying the same thing including joe biden but it doesn't make sense, when you look at the age of some of the ideas that we're seeing from joe biden they are the oldest ideas in the world and none of them work whether open borders were
9:09 am
not prosecuting crimes or crimes against political enemies but not your political allies there very old ideas and they're not working people do not like them. stuart: former president trump is trying to quail fears that is looking for revenge in a second term. watch this. >> people think there's going to be revenge and i say the revenge will be success there doc would be revenge in a revenge stance, it's going to be success working to turn our country around and bring sense and common sense, people say you're conservative i'm not a conservative am a man of common sense. stuart: do you think he can convince people that he's a man of common sense. >> when we look back at the selection of donald trump winds up winning we will see the key turning moment a month or so ago when he first told sean hannity
9:10 am
that that was what his intent is revenge would be success and he stuck with the statement since then and it's a great line and i think it's the most important unifying and if you want to bring nikki haley supporters back into the fold of donald trump camp, that is the way that you do it. if you want to win over a democrat who is hurting because of the policies of joe biden, that is how you do it. i think he can convince people and i think giving the measured statement the wise measured statement that allows voters to focus on is strictly the issues because donald trump winds on the issues i think he will be successful. stuart: did you see any video of trump arriving at the big fight in miami on saturday night. he walked into the stadium, enormous enthusiasm, contrast
9:11 am
that with anywhere that joe biden goes, you never see crowds really enthusiastic it's a complete contradiction. there really is, i think that's a big reason why establishment politicians in both parties, they so dislike donald trump because they don't understand that. the idea like trump a politician would walk into a stadium like that and get that kind of reaction is terrifying to boring old politicians from washington who everybody, the only thing we can agree on, nobody likes them but there's an incredible enthusiasm for donald trump that doesn't exist for any of them and it weirds them out and frightens them but i think it's a marvelous thing and he crosses over and appeals to people that otherwise don't care about and of long given up on politics.
9:12 am
good stuff we will see you again really soon. charlie hurt, donations came pouring into the biden campaign after the state of the union. >> immediate 24 hours $10 million. as 116,000 donations poured and that is grassroots and you say pretty good, it's a largest 24 hour hall yet, let's keep track at the end of january biden's campaign had 56 million in the bank, the dnc 24 million that is $80 million, on the other side the trump campaign have 30 million in the rnc about night. biden is the incumbent and he doesn't have all these legal bills but he had double or has doubled what trump had at the end of january. stuart: he has more money, check features monday morning, how do we open up the market on the downside, down 130 for the dow come up about 80 for the nasdaq a new report deals are generally six congressional committee allegedly suppressed testimony showing the trump administration

garrett joins me from eagle pass, what do we know. >> this happened in the agree of texas, the rio grande valley, an area with a lot of cartel activity, this crew was searching or tracking a group of folks who crossed into the country illegally when their helicopter had a mechanical issue and went down, three people died including two national guard soldiers from new york, 28-year-old casey from koski and, john grassia and 40-year-old chris luna, fourth guardsmen was on board and remain thinkable condition. as the investigation into that crash continues, officials are also preparing for a possible spring surge of migrants coming across the border, that is something that lawmakers are planning to present fbi director christopher wray on today at the threat assessment hearings.
9:19 am
>> it is our southern border right now it is a major threat because what we've seen is 50 people in the terror watch list in the last four to half months we've seen more than 10000 people, crossed her southern border, were called special-interest aliens these individuals are being trafficked in from all over the world from very vulnerable places, there coming at the homeland which is a major issue for us. one of example, this weekend at rhode island, ice arrested the 23-year-old man from honduras who is wanted for murder he crossed the border illegally in 2021 and in 2023 he was found guilty of assault with a weapon and domestic violence and released from court despite an active immigration detainer for his custody. stuart: i get it, thank you very much, president biden is apologizing for referring to the migrants that refer to laken riley as illegal, roll tape. >> you use the word illegal when talking about the man who allegedly killed laken riley. >> undocumented person.
9:20 am
i shouldn't have used illegal is undocumented. i'm not going to treat any of these people with disrespect. they built the country, the reason our economy is growing. stuart: tom homan joins us, i think the president is confusing legals and illegals. legals did help build this country, illegals have not. have i got that right? >> you got it right, spot on. it's a shame how we apologizes for using the term illegal when the fact is the immigration national polity act written by congress and title viii in statue, illegal alien is illegal and proper name used in a commander-in-chief i think you would stick to the legal term as defined by congress and president and second of all he apologize for using the term about the bag i when he missed pronounces laken riley's name. he was wrong both times. stuart: is trying to normalize open border by saying and confusing illegals and legals
9:21 am
that is normalizing the open border and all was an invitation to common, you are building the country, huanan. >> is normalized it and we know he's open the border in historic immigration, no consequences everybody in the world knows you cross the board and get released within a day and fly to the city of your choice on taxpayer dime, will put you in a hotel, three meals a day, free medical care and work authorization everything that they came for not really asylum-seekers and on the end of that what else he prevents ice from making the arrest the secretary of homeland security since being in the country illegally on his own without a no conviction shouldn't be a target for ice arrest, now they know if they lose which nine out of ten well, no one is looking for them. stuart: don't you get tired of this, for years we've been saying the same thing and nothing changes. >> nothing changes but i think the tide is turning.
9:22 am
i think the beautiful young lady in georgia, laken riley, i think that's awaken some people. i think now we have three years of historical immigration and i give all the credit to the fox network, they have been on the story for three years like you said you cannot deny the videos you cannot deny the report of bill melugin and griff jenkins on this issue, i think it's coming up to an election and i think people will take immigration number one we see that in the polls and i think fox has done a good job of touching the people and i been screaming for three years and i have take high blood pressure because of it but i truly believe in january 25 somebody in the house will force the laws of this country and protector sovereignty. stuart: got it, tom homan, keep on telling us how we really is. we always appreciate and we want to back soon.

bitcoin active, president biden set to release his budget for the 2025 fiscal year, edward lawrence at the white house, what can we expect. we can expect a wishlist of domestic spending programs from this president and what he would like to see. there will be negotiated cuts that was negotiated at last year with her then house speaker kevin mccarthy but this will echo the tax hikes the president has mentioned in the state of the union address the president looking to increase the corporate tax rate to 28% then raise the minimum corporate from 21% to 15% the president will call for a 15% billionaires tax and raise revenue to increase spending on the domestic programs and try to cut the federal deficit over ten years. >> now it is my goal to cut the federal deficit by 3 trillion more by making big corporation very wealthy and i'm a capitalist by the way you can
9:44 am
make a million bucks, a billion bucks, good for you but pay your taxes. >> the president's budget will call for $9600 tax credit for homebuyers, there is no way the president will get everything that he wanted his budget is 35 days late being delivered to congress the third budget that is late for this president congressional committees had to wait on these numbers before they could start their work is sets the process back a whole month. republicans pledge to lookout for ways to cut. >> that is correct two quick things, your report is absolutely correct in joe biden did the dumbest thing ever he juiced federal spending with his rescue plan which created the disastrous inflation that has been crippling american consumers, when it comes to the federal budget i believe we will get this work done finally. the budget will be out at noon in the very windy washington, d.c. you can see the umbrella coming down all the latest from in the budget at noon today.
9:45 am
stuart: you don't have to worry about your hair blowing all over the place. stuart: i would hate to be in your situation, thank you very much. stephen moore is with us this morning. his hair is in place, you're running an ad on a times square billboard with the national debt counter. my question how do we get out of this debt mess, conservatives like to think that we can grow our way out of it. i don't think that we can, what say you. >> if you look at the new budget that joe biden is introducing this morning. all i heard from edward lawrence, tax-and-spend, tax-and-spend, that is old-fashioned liberalism non- socialism and it's curious to me because i looked through some of the preliminary numbers and not to budget, there is not virtually a single program that joe biden wants to get rid of or cut. it is basically expand programs, the new housing initiatives and
9:46 am
welfare programs and more and more taxes on the top 1%, by the way we talked about this a couple weeks ago the top 1% america the millionaires and billionaires are paying a must-have of the income tax, we have a system that is heavily depend on rich people we have to start taking a chainsaw to the budget and he won't even take tweezers to the budget. stuart: do you think i the republican party the republicans do you think they could take a chainsaw to spending i cannot see that. >> this is a problem. i think biden has been the most financially reckless president in history but i have been in this game 40 years. i was curious that the new budget that biden is coming out with is at a 6 trillion-dollar budget, four years ago when i arrived in the mid-1980s the entire federal budget was 1 trillion were now 16 trillion in the national debt was one and a half trillion. now it's 31 and a half trillion
9:47 am
