-dispatcher (over radio): okay, we'll still send a code three. -(theme music playing)

maria: good friday morning, everyone. thanks so much for joining us his morning. i'm maria bartiromo. i'm is friday, april 5, your top stories, 6:00 a.m. on the east coast. today middle east tensions, worries spiking over a possible attack from r iran as president biden demands an immediate cease fire, the white house threatening policy changes if there's no resolution in the coming days, claiming u.s. support for israel is unwaiverring as hamas makes no promises to release any hostages. we're monitoring the fast of moving developments all morning long. jobs in focus this morning, futures are indicating a gain at the start of tradeing this morning, another rally underway ahead of the march jobs report out in two and-a-half hours. the latest test former have yous markets this week, the dow industrieindustrials up 60 poin.

all hands on deck coming up for reaction to the jobs numbers. european markets are lower, take a look at the eurozone with the dax index in germany the biggest performer, down 1 and-a-half percent right now, 271 points lower in germany. the others also weaker this morning by about 1% apiece. in asia, red across the board as well. take a look. refreshly secretary janet yellen is in china -- treasury secretary janet yellen is in china this morning, the shanghai and hong kong down fractionally, china this morning reiterating that the u.s. does not want to decouple from china according to the janet yellen. then president biden's open border completely out of control and president trump is now out with a new warning about china building a m militia inside the united states. meanwhile, two ring leaders from interest the el paso border charge still on the loose as seven are in custody, ongoing court battles putting texas in a

bind to enforce the law. i'll speak with texas governor greg abbott in the 8:00 a.m. our. joining the conversation all morning long, pollster and president of maslansky and partners, lee carter is here and lonski group founder, john lonski. "mornings with maria" is live right now. ♪ maria: it's time for the hot topic of the hour. president biden is headed to baltimore to tour the damage from last week's deadly key bridge collapse. a new politico report finds the biden campaign is bringing on a group of veteran pollsters and advocates to lead the election efforts after a wall street journal survey shows former president trump is leading biden

in six of seven swing states right now. a new poll also finds trump has a double dig it lead over biden among hispanics, black and asian voters seen shifting to trump and republicans. you new poll shows republicans are more enthusiastic about voting this year than democrats. we are lucky to have lee carter in the studio. your reaction? >> i think it's important for joe biden that gets new pollsters. he's not listening to them. when he's asked about poll numbers, he said i don't really believe them. he has to start waking up to it and the pollsters that he hired aren't just people that will read the numbers, they'll give him advice on how he needs to shift strategy. it's clear he's been out of touch with the american people. he's saying the economy has never been better, yet people haven't felt worse. keeps saying immigration is going to be fine. it's not going to be fine. he blames it on republicans, people blame it on him.

he has to get pollsters that will give him advice and guide him towards what he needs to do. whether or not he's going to listen, that's a big question. maria: well, john lonski, i don't know about pollsters but all the pollsters in the world are not going to change bad policy and bad policy put americans in danger in a number of areas. your reaction? >> that's precisely right. i thought the economy is going great guns, i thought that donald trump is a racist and yet we have hispanics and or minorities shifting towards donald trump in great numbers soless something really wrong here. i think they're also troubled by the rising crime. they're troubled by cultural issues. maria: absolutely. >> all of this is working to the advantage of donald trump. maria: the administration is implementing a new rule to make it more difficult to fire federal workers in case trump gets reelected. the former president promising to he revamp the workforce to, quote, weed out the deep state.

biden is calling the rule a step toward combating corruption and partisan interference to ensure civil servants are able to focus on the more important task at hand, delivering for the american people. this what is joe biden is claim claiming as he puts the rule in place that he can't fire anybody. trump wants to fire the deep state. >> he wants to get their votes, wants to be more confident of getting the votes in washington, d.c., the company town for the democratic party. let's not be too naive. one of the reasons why we have this huge federal deficit is because joe biden engages in borrowing money via the federal government to buy votes in effect to keep the democrats in power. maria: what do you think, lee? >> there's been so many commentaries out there especially rfk junior saying

actually biden's the threat to democracy, he's the one that's stacking the institutions here. we should be more concerned about joe biden than donald trump. i think it's fascinating, joe biden set up this whole narrative that it is donald trump that's going to have retribution if he gets into office and so he's able to cut all these policies. donald trump is saying himself, he sid the best retribution i have is going to be success and he says you're saying i'm going to be a dictator, i'm going to be a dictator on d day one to do two things. they're creating a narrative, not necessarily the truth of what donald trump is all about. maria: that's right. that's what they do a the time, set up the idea that trump is the threat to democracy as they try to pack the supreme court, that's try to take his name off the ballots and they do everything possible that is a threat to democracy. >> that's right. and interestingly enough, the polling now suggests that republicans are as concerned as as democrats about the threat to

democracy and that's so much of what joe biden's message is about. actually, it's republicans are starting to say you know what, we're concerned about democracy. we're concerned about our voice being heard, we're concerned about institutions and so this could backfire on joe biden. maria: we're going to take a short break. i want to get your the take on yesterday how one of the fed officials say the obvious out loud that we may not get any rate cuts this year. we're going to talk about it coming up. we've got the march jobs report, economists expect 2 p hundred thousand jobs added to the economy with unemployment rate at 3.9%, chief equity market strategist phil orlando in the house to repry the report and talk -- preview the report and talk about the supposed rate cuts coming. don't miss the power panel, tommy lahren is here, and kt mcfarland to talk about all the hot topics of the morning. stay with us. you're watching "mornings with maria" live on fox business.

or amazon. maria: welcome back. crude oil climbing to 90 of dollars a barrel for the first time since october, take the a look at where we stand, crude at 86, 71, that is up a fraction, brent is at $90.92 a barrel. oil prices an issue for markets and inflation. neel kashkari said he's penciling in two rate cuts. he admitted there's a possibility of no rate cuts at all this year if inflation doesn't reach its 2% target. with that yesterday stocks sold of off, joining me right now is chief equity market strategist,

phil orlando. it's great to see you. thank you for being here this morning. >> maria, thank you so much for having me back on the show. maria: i think it all started with the ism report a week ago which was higher than expected and then it sort of like got worse from there because we were watching oil prices creep higher and then we were watching other economic data show that the economy is doing well and people started to say well, wait a second, how is the federal reserve going to cut interest rates when you've got the ism here and oil prices there and inflation nowhere near the 2% target? suddenly you've got neel kashkari who is not a voting member, i should point out, but he said yesterday the obvious, he said it out loud, that maybe we won't see any cuts this year. phil, your reaction? >> i think you're spot on, maria. so the ism data was above the contraction level for first time in 16 months. leading economic indicators turned positive for the first

time if 22 months the other day. the inflation data has been hot. next week's cpi is expected to go up from 3.2% up to 3.5%. so you had the comments yesterday, chris waller gave a speech in new york last wednesday night where he said in his hhis mind the fed needs to y on hold. bostik is pe penciling in one c. larry sommers says he thinks the the fed's next move will be a hike, not a cut. you look at that collectively and the market's consensus view at the beginning of the year that we're going to see six or seven cuts over the course of the year, i mean, that's got to be out the window and to a significant degree this 28% rally we've seen in stocks over the last five months or so, i think it's predicated on the concept that the fed was going to be extraordinarily doveish here and doesn't seem like

that's going to be the case. maria: by the way, before larry sommers said potentially a rate hike, jim grant said it on this program a couple months ago saying we're not there, the federal reserve may turn around and say we need to hike rates so that would be a major disappointment for the market can and i'm wondering as an investor what you want to do, do you want to get out of the way now that there's the massive debate that there won't be rate cuts this year because if the market is expecting three rate cuts and we don't get any what kind of sizable selloff might you expect? >> we were expecting a barbell shape performance for the s&p. we thought we would get out of the gate in pretty good shape. we thought there would be significant chop over summer and the fall rea lated to federal reserve uncertainty early and later in the year election related uncertainty. we think we'll get a powerful post election rally to record highs once we get all that

nonsense behind us. but given the fact that you've had a 10% rally in the s&p so far this year and a 28% rally since the end of last october, stocks in our view are ahead of themselves. what we think will happen is a rolling correction if you will. the so called mag 7 are up 99% over the last 15 months. the forgotten 493 are up by 22%. 22%. that 77% performance and balance is not sustainable. it needs to be corrected. what we think is going to happen is we're going to get some love for the domestic large cap value names, domestic small cap growth names and international names which frankly have been left for dead over the last 15 months and some of the froth comes off from the mag 7 names. maria: that makes a lot of sense to me. and i'd like to see the small caps get some love as well. when you see this market

broadening out, you have more confidence that in fact it is sustainable long-term. if it's just the magnificent seven up 99% and as you say the remaining 493 in the s&p 500 not seeing that kind of performance, you question the sustainability of it so how does the march jobs report play into all of this? i want to bring john lonski in on this. john, the march jobs numbers out in two hours' time, economists expect 200,000 jobs added to the economy with the unemployment rate steady at 3.9%. this could be a market mover this morning. john, react to what phil is saying that, look, he's expecting a rolling correction here. your thoughts? >> i think phil is exactly right. to get a rate cut, you have to have a disinflation fary slowing of the economy that would include a softer labor market. we can't have payrolls growing in excess of 250,000 jobs per month and expect to have a rate

cut. we can't have wage growth staying well above 4 be% and get a -- 4% and get a rate growth. we have to see slower jobs growth, see that head down to maybe fewer than 150,000 jobs per month and we to see edging up of the unemployment rate. if this employment report comes in on the strong side, that would significantly a reduce the odds favoring a june rate. maria: what do you think terms of a june rate cut, phil? >> there's two chances of a june rate cut, slim and none and slim just died so the earliest we would expect to see the fed cut rates would be in july. i think john's spot-on. just look at the data this week. the adp numbers hit an eight month high. the claims numbers, 212,000. the jolts n numbers have been steady. if today's jobs report is hot, that adds fuel to the fire.

they will wait for the data to eventually cool. maria: we're waiting to see what happens in terms of inflation of it's elevated with oil where it is, phil, what do you make of $90 a barrel brent, crude oil, $83 a barrel. do you want to buy oil stocks? is there a trade here or is this an overall negative for the market and the economy. >> there is a trade. with crude in the mid-60s back in december we thought the combination of increased geopolitical risk and the fact our strategic petroleum reserve is about half, we never refilled it after the president took it down by half they calendar a '22, that combination we felt would take wti prices up into the 80 to $90-barrel neighborhood over the course of the year and as you just said, we're at $86 now, four months into the year.

so directionally it's going where we thought it would go. it's just happening a lot quicker than we thought. maria: all right. we'll leave it there. phil, always a pleasure. thanks so much. >> thank you, maria, pleasure being on your show. maria: always. good to see you. phil orlando. we'll see you soon. have a good weekend. quick break and then the white house is threatening policy changes if israel does not have a cease fire and if there's no resolution within the coming days. it claims it's maintaining u.s. support and that support is unwavering with no promises from hamas on releasing the hostages, biden wants a cease fire and scolded netanyahu on the phone yesterday. richard mc mccormick is here wih more on that. you're watching "mornings with maria" live on fox business. stay with us. ♪

from china, 28,000 in the last few months. what's he doing? building an army? they were mostly all men from the age of 18 to 25. maria: um told the chinese are paying $35,000 a head to come to the southern border. are they being directed by the communist party to come here? >> i believe so. i believe so. and i believe we're going to have a terrorist attack, 100%. 100%. maria: wow, that was former president trump with me last month on sunday morning futures, he was with me back in february, warning about the threat of chinese nationals who have illegally entered the country. trump doubled down on the warning on the hewitt radio show this week accusing the chinese communist party of using nationals to build an army from within the united states. now, in just one week, in just one day, rather, this week, nearly 200 chinese nationals crossed the san diego border, 22,000 crossed the southern border since october. joining me is georgia congressman, richard

mccormick, a member of the house foreign aff acom you affas committee. good to see you. nice shoutout for the marines on your shirt. we appreciate their incredible work. let me get your take on the chinese nationals. what's going on. >> what's scarier than the people we know about, it's the people we don't know about. 2 million have crossed the border we have not identified. the chinese nationals coming across, we're very concerned. we don't though what the motives are. what happened in the communist country that's not known about, that's not directed. it's very concerning. the people paying to evade capture from any part of the world, whether from the middle east, far east, south america, jails in venezuela, we have a massive problem and we're going to have a terrorist attack and it's going to be on biden's hands. maria: this is incredible. i wonder what you can do as an

elected official to get ahead of this. you had heard president trump saying he thinks xi jinping is creating an army here in the united states. why? >> well, it's the narrative that we haven't done anything is false. hr2 passed over nine months ago. that's on the desk. they want to pass something where they allow 5 and-a-half million before they start doing something. this is not a come he pro mice, it's a -- compromise, it's a give away on their part. s pass hr2. we have the same laws that obama had, that trump had. we can deport them. biden has to make the right decision to protect the country which he took an oath to support and defend this sovereign nation against enemies, foreign and domestic. this is his biggest responsibility. maria: he doesn't want to do it obviously, he doesn't want to do it. i don't know if he thinks they'll become voters or what but i wish that you saw the kind of upset that president biden

apparently showed to bibi netanyahu yesterday, i wish we would see that kind of strength when he's talking to xi jinping. we never do. he rolls over for xi jinping over and over again. the president spoke with the israeli pr prime minister yesterday. he warned that u.s. policy toward israel could change if the idf doesn't do more to improve the humanitarian situation they in gaza. a white house read of the call showed that president biden said the overall humanitarian situation is unacceptable. bbiden is calling for immediate cease fire. 40,000 democrats voted blank to protest biden's stance on the israeli war. he's picking a fight with bibi netanyahu in the middle of the fight of his life. >> it's the failed foreign policy on every aspect be. he's the weakest president we've ever had in foreign policy, the

way he withdraw from afghanistan, i take of fence from that as an afghany veteran. people literally paid for by the united nations which is mostly the united states, helping hamas invade israel. we never talked about defunding them from the president's side. he has no consistency in his foreign policy, never holds anybody in gaza or palestinians accountable for not releasing hostages, he's not linking any sort of aid packages to that. he's only one sided. this is totally based on political expediency and it's not appreciated by people who understand what's going on. maria: there's an op-ed the journal, biden exploits a tragic israeli miss take. the wall street journal writes this, we say try because many people who know better including president biden seem to have foregotten arrows are a tragic and inevitable part of war. the president pandered to the

anti-israel faction of his party by harshly condemning israel and blaming it for the larger human humanitarian disaster in gaza. why is he having the public fight with netanyahu and not even saying anything about the fact that hamas refuses to release any hostages? >> this is exactly what i'm talking about, the inconsistency. he's basically joined the united nations, done nothing but sanction and talk bad about israel from the very beginning, every year up to 20 different warnings to israel and talking bad about israeli policy where they never mention anything hamas does. never talk about hezbollah. never talk about the houthis. he's absolutely inconsistent. joining with the united nations in the the globalist push towars anti-israeli sentiment.

they need to be dealt with, not just joined. maria: what is your priority when you get back to washington? obviously the house, the congress off for the easter recess. you'll be returning next week. what's the priority one? >> well, i would say number one, we have to look at the debt. the debt is killing us. it's going to be our biggest payment in the future, the knew the nearfuture. it those be ayou dressed right now. today we're going to jump in order of the world war ii veterans. we have friends overseas. we need to appreciate the world war ii vets before they're gone. we need to take care of the debt so we can take care of the nation. maria: what does that mean for the ukraine package? >> well, i think anything needs to be packaged, it's going to be packaged with debt -- well, we're not going to get in that. let's face it. securing the border and the debt

are the two major emergencies in the united states. i hate to be near jerk. if we don't take care -- knee jerk. if we don't care of those two things, we're done. maria: thank you for joining us. quick break and then two ring leaders from the el paso border charge still on the loose this morning. as seven are in custody after they rammed the southern border and went right into all of our national guard soldiers, ongoing court battles put texas in a bind to enforce the law. we're on it. we will speak with governor greg abbott live coming up in the 8:00 a.m. hour. you're watching "mornings with maria" live on fox business. ♪ so won't you please. ♪ be my, be my baby. ♪ be my little baby. ♪ my one and only baby. ♪ say you'll be my darling. ♪ be my, be my baby. ♪ be my baby now. ok y'all we got 10 orders coming in... big orders!

meanwhile, the texas department of public safety releasing these mug shots of seven migrants who have been identified as the ring leaders of the group who rushed the border in el paso, texas last month, injuring national guard there are the mug shots. nine migrants face felony rioting charge, seven so far are in custody. there are two others that there are warrants out for their arrest and they're on the loose. 214 illegal migrants have been arrested in connection with that incident. joining me is arizona sheriff, mark daniels, sheriff, great to see you. thank you for being here. your reaction? >> well, i'm glad to see they're going after them, maria, the fact that when you attack law enforcement, you a attack our military, and we don't do anything about it, we're sending a precedent that it's okay to do that and we're sending that message deep into the criminal world and other countries as we know 157 plus countries are breaching our border annually now under president biden. record numbers in fact.

and so we have to hold them accountable within the criminal justice system, the rule of law. it goes back to one big thing, maria. this president had has failed to prioritize our southern border, northern border, coastal borders and opened it up and this is some of the chaos, the national security crisis we're dealing with in the country. maria: let me get your take, sheriff daniels, on basically the backdrop here. you're there in cochese county. i want to know what you're seeing on the ground in terms of the migrant flood and the crime we're talking about as well. how would assess it? >> it's chaos, it's crisis. it's a tragedy every day. i say this all the time. citizens know this, law enforcement know this, we're changing lives every day. every day down here, we see a juvenile, we see an adult, someone coming down here with social media to smuggle

international crime with the cartels, we see fentanyl coming across the border, 111 million tenfentanyl pills in arizona lat year alone. yesterday a citizen was hit by a smuggler driver yesterday in my county. something goes on every day that we're seeing and what i what hear out of washington, d.c., 51% of congress, what i hear out out of the white house is excuses and the blame game and in the meantime america is suffering every day. shame on president biden of. , that's gross neglect what he has done to the country. ever day i go to a tragedy, car accident, pursuit, whatever it may be and i think to myself why is america letting this happen every day in our country on our border, it's amazing to. maria: but why? what is the motivation to keep this border wide open they we are all feeling the impact. it's true that people say every town is a border town. yeah, because they're going wherever they want. we don't know half of them, what

their intentions are. it's a different situation if we knew exactly who was coming in but we're getting p apprehensions of terrorists. >> oh, you're exactly right. i mean, you look at the almost 2 million got aways, that's a minimal number that have come into the country. they're coming here because they can't go to border control and give p up. these are bad people. i don't care what party you're trying to protect, reality is, america should come first and we're allowing these bad people to come into the country and saying it's okay. i think part of it's vengeance from president biden to president trump. a lot of it's politics. i mean -- it's totally ridiculous. you're right on that. and the bottom line is we have to get off the political foundations and start protecting america under the oath of office. we have prioritized everybody, foreign b countries, everybody but america. let's get back to america first.

maria: it's a great point. how about what's going on in chicago, the mayor there, brandon johnson, urging fiewn grant work permits -- president biden to grant work permits for i'll legal migrants living in illinois. the department of homeland security granting a 540 day extension on work permits for as many as 800,000 migrants yesterday. sheriff daniels, your thoughts on the work permits for migrants? is the next step to allow them to vote in the upcoming election. maybe they can win on their policy which has failed across the board so get foreigners to vote so you can win an election. is this a massive power grab? >> well, three years ago i wouldn't have agreed with that. i would have said it's more vengeance, more of a political ideology but i can't say that no more because i've seen the neglect, the gross neglect. i've seen the excuses, they the meantime we're seeing the flow, ingress every day from an

incentivized border that it's okay to come here. when they come across the border, they tell us the reason they're here is because biden's here because they opened up the border. the problem with chicago, new york, the sanctuary cities that turned on the green light to incentive ice the border, they're not working to solve the border and that is securing the border. let's secure the border, make it manageable and then work on the immigration process. we have the laws. president biden has the executive authority and the power of the people under the laws to secure the border. he chooses not to. maria: he's not going to do it, sheriff. you know that. seattle is scrambling to raise money. they have to pay $5,000 a day for hotels to house 240 illegal migrants, seattle officials reportedly are upset that they had to take over a school play area with tents and foreign flags. the migrants are put being their flags in the -- putting their flags in the grounds in seattle. they're taking over wherever they want.

they were in a hotel but the money ran out. they were forced outside so they took over the playground, put their tents up, put their flags up, another $50,000 donation was begin so the migrants can return to the hotel. the cash is expected to run out next week. this is a pressure all around. lee carter, jump in here. tease are the pictures causing americans to say hold on, i thought the economy was the number one issue. but you know what? no, the border, immigration is the number one issue for me the upcoming election. >> it's fascinateing to see the shift over the last two months. it's been extreme, the shift in views on immigration. and it's not just that people want them to get tougher on the border. more people now than ever are concerned that this is going to pose a threat to them in their lives and that doesn't mean if you're in a border town, it means anywhere in the country, people are taking immigration so much more seriously. joe biden is trying to blame republicans, are blocking the legislation that happened and the american people are not buying it.

they blame democrats and they say they want to see joe biden do something about it. what i want to know is what exactly could he do that could change things today? and i think it's really clear, in plain language. maria: that's a great point. >> well, maria, first thing you do is enforce the rule of law and that is -- and go back to the oath of office. i always say this. every congressman, congresswoman, the white house, they need to the look at the oath of office. that's to protect the country, protect the people within it, americans within. and we have chosen not to do it. enforce the rule of law, have judicial oversight and we could do it. maria: yeah. well, that's a great point. it's not just the worries over crime and the worries in all these big cities that you've got to look behind you at all times, you might get punched in the face at any moment or you could get robbed but it's also the pressure that officials in these big cities and states are facing because they've got to pay out, they've got all these outlays they've got to pay for the housing and food and all this other stuff.

that's taking resources away elsewhere. are you seeing a pressure for example on the police force? are you seeing cuts where you are in terms of the things that people need but the officials need the money for the illegals? >> maria, ironic you said that. i spent two days ago with the governor, with sheriffs in arizona, discussing that exact thing. why is the state in deficit right now? we're paying the debt of the federal government while they sit back, secretary mayorkas, the border czar, vice president harris and biden act like nothing is going on down here. we're paying their bills. i made a comment to our attorney general in arizona last week, why are we not going after them? every time we pay a the debt, 37,000 street releases in the county that's being paid for by us and local resources, all i can say is this. the more we pay their debt, the more they're going to come, the more the federal government will

neglect it and the more the american people don't see it. i think it's a gross, gross neglect. maria: yeah. all right, we'll keep a spotlight on it for sure. that's what we can do here. sheriff mark daniels, thank you so much, sheriff. good to talk with you. we appreciate your time. >> thank you, maria. maria: i'll be talking more about president biden's wide open border and the crisis it caused with texas governor greg abgregabbott, what can texas doo combat the surge, the governor will join me at 8:00 a.m. eastern. the american dream, is it possible? the answer may surprise you. that's making a buzz this morning. you're watching "mornings with maria" live on fox business. we'll be right back. ♪ pretty wo woman i couldn't hep but see. ♪ pretty woman. ♪ that you look lovely as can be. ♪ are you lonely just like me. ♪lo ok [bell sounds] welcome, i'm your host, jacob.

hi. how was the weather getting up here? fine but, you know, i think we're, we're just going to go up to bed and— do you believe in ghosts? [whistling kettle sound] no? good! mother is buried in the yard. meanwhile, at a vrbo... when other vacation rentals have no privacy, try one that has no one but you.

[ragtime piano plays] the adversaries are back! [gasps] ugh. sheriff, i got this. protecting your business from cyber attacks can be unrelenting. today's adversaries move fast. crowdstrike moves faster. crowdstrike. we stop breaches.

her uncle's unhappy. i'm sensing an underlying issue. it's t-mobile. it started when we tried to get him under a new plan. but they they unexpectedly unraveled their “price lock” guarantee. which has made him, a bit... unruly. you called yourself the “un-carrier”. you sing about “price lock” on those commercials. “the price lock, the price lock...” so, if you could change the price, change the name! it's not a lock, i know a lock. so how can we undo the damage? we could all unsubscribe and switch to xfinity. their connection is unreal. and we could all un-experience this whole session. okay, that's uncalled for.

maria: welcome back. time for the morning buzz. is the american dream now out of reach for the younger generations? fox news interviewed parents and grandparents and tried to get their outlook. it may surprise you, watch this. >> can't afford the american dream. what we wanted when we were young is not something really our kids can afford.

>> because it's too expensive. we've got ours but our kids and our grandkids can't afford homes. they can't afford to do the things they would like to do. >> the american dream is definitely alive. there's such great opportunity here in america and i'm a proud business owner and building my dream. >> i think it's definitely alive and well. have you to work for et. you have to put in the time. you have to start from the bottom, do your -- do the dirty work, do the grind and make your way up. maria: objecting. maria: okay. mixed story, lee, your reaction. >> when you look at the polling, one in three americans believe the american dream is live and well. there's pessimism about the future of the economy, whether or not our kids and grandkids can have the same opportunities and afford the things we could. the last two were talking about how the american dream is alive and well and if you work hard it

can happen for you. we need to see more of that it's not happening under joe biden. it's certainly not happening right now. people are seeing more -- we're seeing the optimism about america just on the decline, more and more and more. just look at the shift m the numbers since 2012. it's pretty staggering how pessimistic people are about the future. we need that to turn around. i don't want that for my daughter and future grandchildren either. maria: it's something i'm worried about as well. i feel like the freedoms we were raised with are fleeting. we've got the chinese communist party hovering, wanting to overtake the united states as the number one super power. you've got lots of values that are being overturned right now like our freedom of speech. there's so many things that we enjoyed as we were growing up that i feel like are being out of reach now for younger generation, john how do you see it. >> you're exactly right. when i was young the democratic party used to believe in the work ethic.

they no longer believe in that. maria: right. >> they think everybody's a victim. you've got to find your victimhood to get anyplace in the democratic party. they're discouraging people. they're saying the future is bleak. my goodness, there's going to be climate change and that's going to wreck everything. we need less regulation and lower taxes and a better educational system in order to preserve the american dream. maria: even ron klain apparently the journal out with a shocking revelation on how far $100 goes for the grocery store today compared to five years ago. look at what the journal writes this week. some items surged to more than 550% higher than where they were in 2019, ron klain admitting that prices are too high and the president could be doing better. look at food inflation in america, ground beef, bread, cereal, fats, oils, sugars, suites, cakes, cookies, all up in price. here's ron klain. >> prices are still high.

price of gasoline is still high. other prices are still i high. people feel that pinch and the wages have gone up and -- wages have gone up faster than prices, people feel pin be. pinched in thepocketbooks. the president needs to make more progress. maria: how do you make more progress when you don't stop spending. >> that's right. we have a problem with home affordability. first time home buyers are at a loss, trying to purchase a home. if you don't have home buyers anymore i think that hurts democracy. diminishes the interest in the political system the. maria: lee carter, want to thank you for joining me this hour. we'll see you soon. john, we'll see you for the march jobs report and word on wall street. stay with us. we'll be right back.
