maria: welcome back. good thursday morning everybody. thanks very much for joining us this morning. i'm maria bartiromo. i hope you're having a good thursday morning. it's thursday, may 23, 7:00 a.m. on the east coast. top national institutes of health advisor apo apologizing r being exposed for deleting e-mails and using secret back channels of personal accounts to help dr. fauci evade covid transparency. watch. >> i was not aware of that. i was not aware that anything that i deleted like e-mails was a federal record. >> you're editing letters that he wanted to send to nih. you did that on personal e-mail, correct. >> i don't remember. if i did, i shouldn't have done that. >> do you want to take the fifth amendment. you don't seem to remember anything. i think you'll be haunted by your testimony. >> however many mistakes i made, i was trying to do the right thing. i had a friend, a personal friend who was in danger of

being murdered and his family being murdered and everything centered around that and i did what i could do. >> what does a friend of yours who is close to being murdered have to do with the way you performed your duties? >> maria: i spoke with the select subcommittee on the coronavirus pandemic chairman, brad wenstrup, in 2023. he told us all about this. watch. >> dr. morenz was an add a vicar to dr. fauci. we found dr. morenz said to those that were working with drd virus came from nature, he told them i want you to e-mail me on my g mail because these blankedly blanks are foiaing me.

on my g mail, i delete what i don't want to get into new york times which is illegal. maria: had y -- you don want o see it so you delete it. dr. fauci is set to testify on june 3rd. liz, your reaction. >> i kind of come back to why was the administration, why was dr. fauci and all these people protecting china. that's really what it comes down to. maria: that's exactly what it comes down to. >> what we know now, even now, only half of our intelligence organizations will say it came from the wuhan lab. it's pretty obvious that happened. why we are so fearful of admitting that, why we allowed the w.h.o., the world health organization to side with china, to protect china which cost, by the way, probably millions of lives that it took so long to admit trans missability of this virus, took so long to get the genomic sequences out to

governments around the world. it's a terrible story and i think fauci was absolutely at the center of it. whether it was because in fact we had ties to an organization funding this or not, i don't know. but i'm glad that rand paul and a others are continuing to pursue this. 7 million people have died because of this. china has not paid any price whatsoever. maria: and why not? >> i don't know. maria: why do they tiptoe around communist china. jake sullivan was the guy running around with this e-mail during 2016 and 2017 and this post on twitter at the time saying that donald trump colluded with russia and was all about russia, russia, russia. in the mean tile, china was rolling over the united states. this is a serious national security issue. why? why were they all talking about russia which was a made up story and ignoring china and its complicit behavior? why? are they all making money on

this? why? >> that's the question. and it's offensive. all americans should be concerned about it. of course, this was even before we had joe biden in the white house with obvious issues of possible financial irring layer irregularities, having to do with his son and family's activities in china. it's only gotten worse. the protection of the chinese administration -- not that long ago we discovered a lab in california which was being operated by chinese nationals that also had viruses including ebola there, actively investigating properties of the viruses, what was that doing there? has anything been done about that? you wonder if our government is doing anything to keep us safe. maria: gordon chang just mentioned that, the ebola situation with regard to china. this administration constantly attacks russia and keeps china

protected. why? >> i don't know. specifically as it relates to the whole covid thing, maybe we're complicit. obviously we were funding the gain of function research there but you just kind of -- take a step back and you look at all the lies we have been fed in regards to covid and then furthermore, we now have the evidence that not only were they knowingly lying to us but they were covering up their lies. i mean, from cloth masks working, they didn't work. fauci knew they didn't work. the only people they worked for are criminals who are stealing and killing people. that's who they work for. maria: part of the situation was they wanted to get a vaccine out and in order to get the vaccine out in eight months you had to make the case that there was nothing on the market that actually could address covid. that's why we weren't allowed to use ivermectin which i used and it cured me in three days. i was done in three days when i took ivermectin. they were censoring this information. why couldn't we know if you had

covid your antibodies were high enough that you were probably protected. no. >> what were fauci's royalties from pfizer and m moderna. maria: you've got to follow the money. >> there's obviously a severe level of shadiness going on there. ivermectin, it's interesting, you had anchors and hosts on cnn, bashing i it, calling it a horse drug. a week or two ago chris he cuoms talking about how he's on a regular regiment of ivermectin. >> a lot of that was to attack donald trump. he was in perfect shape for re-election. the economy was zooming along. everything was great. this is how they could bring him down and they did. >> what's interesting about all of this, there's so many americans that look and say why does it matter that it came from a lab at this point. it's over, this is what happened. the impact on american lives is really important but i think donald trump actually is winning today because of what happened then. and one of the things they're

saying is that we want someone who is going to recognize who our enemies are, who will be a leader, who will call things they way they see them and they see donald trump did that and they see the democrats haven't and they see these coverups and that's why you see as many republicans question democracy as democrats even though democrats are the ones making the argument and donald trump is really seen as somebody who is going to take this all on. maria: it matters. with was it a biological weapon? we don't know. i asked president trump that. he said 50/50. he said was it intentional that they allowed them to leak out of wuhan. it was probably an accident, he said. i said was it a biological weapon they were working on? 50/50. >> when this went down, if you remember, china was allowing outbound flights out of wuhan and china but nothing inbound. come on. maria: remember, italy just joined the belt and road strategy of china so they had flights going from directly from

wuhan right into italy, northern italy where all the factories were when they were working on the belt and road. italy you just got infected in a really short time. kentucky senator rand paul will join me in the 8:00 a.m. hour. he's pursuing criminal charges against dr. morenz. we'll talk with him about that. coming up, nvidia crushes it, earnings expectations they blew it away with a 262% jump in first quarter revenue. the word on wall street panel is here with expectations. the stock this morning is up better than 7%, above $1,000 a share. you're watching "mornings with maria" live on fox business. stay with us. ♪

maria: welcome back. time now for the word on wall street, top investors watching

your money. joining me is ceo kyle wood, also with me is mark tepper this morning. thank you so much for joining the conversation, kyle. >> thank you. maria: good the see you. we've been talking about nvidia this morning and it crushed it last night, first quarter earnings above expectations, the a.i. chip maker sales surged 262% reporting net income of nearly 15 billion and its day the take center category rising 427% to $22.6 billion, nvidia announced a 10 for one stock split. stock is as you can see up this morning. it's going to begin trading at the adjusted split level on jun. mark, let's start with you. this stock is above $1,000 a share right now. >> it's actually cheap. i can't believe i'm saying that. it's actually -- so we are a growth at a reasonable price firm. we like to get as much growth as we can and we don't want to pay anything for it. we're cheap, right. when you look at nvidia, the peg

ratio, it's incredibly cheap so there is more upside ahead. when you think about a.i., artificial intelligence, machine learning, i mean, this is the most disruptive thing to happen to society since al gore invented the internet, right. [laughter] >> so it's -- and in regards to this stock split, now, stock splits when you think about it, they should not impact performance at all because the market cap of the p company can doesn't change but as kyle and i were talking about during the break, they actually do impact performance and you see these companies that split their stocks, they do outperform in the 12 months after the stock split. so the next question i have for where nvidia goes is at what point do they overtake apple as the world's most valuable company? i mean, they're probably going to open with a market cap of about 2.5 trillion today, apple is around 2.9. there's a chance that could happen by year-end. maria: wow. and you know what? i've got to say, tom lee at fund strat, he nailed it, he nailed it again.

good for you, tom lee. i read his note on the air yesterday telling us he expected a rally after the earnings even though we saw consolidation going into the quarter, people were selling the stock going into it. because it's up better than 200%. tom lee also noted that there are interesting corollary ideas around nvidia, he mentioned the two that he thinks are the most interesting, cadence and super micro yesterday. we've got lots of boats being lifted this morning kyle, talk to us about the other companies you think will benefit from nvidia's strength and long-term reach. >> sure, maria. i can talk about cadence, super micro can, amd, they're all going to m benefit. i want to look at where the puck is going. i want to look at commodity prices, copper up 30%, gold at all time high, they're the best natural conductors of electricity. nvidia needs energy. the data centers and the companies that will supply them, whether utilities or

nonregulated utilities, constellation energy -- constellation energy is up 150% year over year, up 90% this year. with the emergence of nuclear and point of service nuclear at mass a i've data centers i think that's the next place you could really make money. maria: this is what we've been talking about recently, the data centers and the need, the demand coming out of them has sent things like copper to all-time highs so do you want to buy the actual commodity, you want to buy copper after this 30% move. >> i wouldn't buy the actual commodity. we'll leave that to commodity traders. maria: you want to buy companies that will benefit from a.i. demand like the ones we're looking at. >> absolutely. i think these are the companies we should be looking at and i also think some of these energy companies like i mentioned, consisteconstellation are taking advantage of the price move. maria: it's a great point. what about higher interest rates for some of these companies. the minutes from the fed came out yesterday. this is the most recent two-day

policy meeting. officials across the board agree they need to hold interest rates higher for longer, some questioned whether their policy was restrictive enough. okay. to bring down inflation to the 2% target, a number of fed officials said -they mentioned a willingness to tighten further in such a way such action is appropriate. goldman sachs ceo is predicting no interest rate cuts this year. you've been saying this from day one. goldman at one point was at several cuts, now they come out and say no rate cuts. >> we've been on this for at least three to six months. maria: we were laughing out loud about six cuts that the market was expecting. what? >> i don't see how the fed can justify one cut right now. inflation is still not under control. yes, last month it came in at 0.3% month over month. that's still a 3.6 are% run rate, almost twice the fed's mandate. in order for the fed to even

consider the possibility of a cut, you need to see month over month inflation come in around that 0.2% level for probably three consecutive months so this happening before the end of the year is highly unlikely and maria, to your point about high interest rates, i mean, the consumer is certainly struggling not just with inflation, but also with high interest rates. we just found out this week that home buyer confidence, we talk about home builder confidence, home buyer confidence is at an all a-time low and the data goes back 50 years. so home buyers because of high mortgage rates and then because of the elevated property prices that are a byproduct of joe biden's inflation, they are priced out of owning homes so home buyers are certainly hoping for rate cuts. i don't think they'll get them. maria: had when you say to yourself, i can't deal with a 7% mortgage rate right now, i can't buy that house, let me go rent, then you get sticker shock again. >> you do. rents are accelerating.

maria: so where do you go? kyle, thank you for joining the conversation this morning. >> thank you. magreat to see you.mark, you'rel morning, we're appreciative of that. the white house is getting desperate, they're desperate to pass the senate's failed border bill before the november election to make it look like they want to do something about the border. now they say it's up to republicans to get it done even though they're losing support from their own party. texas congressman lance gooden is here weighing in after the break. so desperate he's forgiving more student loan debt. you're watching "mornings with maria" live on fox business. stay with us. ♪

make the u.s. safer. okay hoklahoma senator james lad said he would vote against the bill he helped write. watch. >> we spent m four months sittg down in a buy bipartisan way tk out what do we think we can get passed. i was not successful in getting something that can get passed. the problem remains. everyone knows it will not pass. maria: joining me is texas congressman lance gooden, a member of the house judiciary and armed services committees. thank you for being here. what are your thoughts on this bill. >> at one noint the last month democrats got together and said wwe've done too much at the border, we've opened it i'm to much. what can we do? chuck schumer said why don't we throw the bill on the floor, it won't pass. after it doesn't pass we can blame republicans and maybe joe biden can do something in the

month of june. i predict joe biden is going to do something in the month of june that gives the appearance of caring about the border. but the american people ooh know better. the american people know why the border is open, it's because he reversed trump's policies, we're in the mess because of joe biden. no one in america with a brain believes that republicans are the problem here. everyone knows who started this mess and everyone knows who has the power to fix it and it's the president. maria: and yet chuck schumer looks you straight in the eye and says this is a great bill. you've got karine jean-pierre saying this is the greatest bill anybody has ever seen in terms of the border. walk us through specifics on why this is a bad border bill so our audience understands what specifically republicans are upset about. >> first of all, we don't even need a bill to fix the problem at the border. the problem at the border was under control when donald trump left office. the first thing thing joe bided was reversed policies, he

reversed the remain in mexico policy. let's pass out gift cards and welcome more folks and send the message to the world the border is open. these are things the president did. here we are two years, three years later and we've got democrats saying you know what, let's try to blame republicans here, let's try to put up a border plan. the bill helps facilitate mass migration, helps move along the processing of immigrants, doesn't say let's close the border. it says after we get to a certain point we may calm down the flows for a bit. there should be no illegal crossings across our southern border ever. yet democrats seem to think the american people are okay with some set number. there should never been law breaking in america. every day we have law making at the southern border, we have an administration that refuses to follow and enforce the law and they're blaming republicans for it and it's yeah you. >> i. the american people think it's crazy. there may be one or two people with some level of intelligence in the white house that realize this is not working for them so

i think they have to go back to the drawing board, say let's do something in the summer months so we can fool the american people into thinking we're doing something to secure them. maria: you answered my i question but it was buried in there. you basically said that the fact is, this border bill allows, what, 4 or 5,000 people to come in before the -- >> daily. maria: before the administration can do anything in terms of stopping and closing the border so 5,000 people a day on top of the 10 million illegals that are in the country. for me, it represents more of a national security issue. i mean, a lot of people are worried about illegal kids coming and replacing their kids, taking over schools, taking over buildings where american citizens are but when you look at the actual national security unknowns, fox news' bill me lien encountered a group of male migrants from across the world at the california border. watch this. >> where are you guys from,

what country? >> pakistan. >> india. >> turkey. >> turkey. okay. >> india. >> india. where are you guys from? >> turkey. >> turkey. >> where are you from? >> china. >> ecuador. >> where are you guys from? >> india. >> india. >> india. >> india. >> iran. >> iran. >> iran. >> why did you come? >> no freedom. >> no freedom, yes, in iran, iran is dangerous country. maria: we have no idea what their motivations are. melugin spoke with a california man who has been collecting the discarded passports left at the border from the illegals. watch this. >> they're just dropping this stuff on the ground to come here and assume a new identity so that's a little bit scary, from my military background and seeing the people coming across that male, male, male, these are all military aged males. people keep saying that. i've got the proof right here. maria: he's got all those

passports and driver's licenses right there. he says they're all mostly male and they're military aged congressman. last week, two jordannan nationals were taken into i.c.e. custody while attempting to breach the military base in virginia. who are the people crossing the border? do we know they got into america via the open border? >> the answer is no one is tracking these military aged males that are coming across our border and it's scary as hell and the biden administration is refusing to do anything about this. the american people want to live in a safe and secure country and we have military aged men coming from nations that do not wish us well, china, iran, these are places we don't want folks coming unchecked across our borders and yet you showed a clip of a gentleman -- of men pouring across the southern borders. this is not about people from the central and a south america and mexico coming for a better life. this is a serious issue and

we've got to do something about it. people are scared. and the american people expect the president to do something. maria: president trump has been talking about this from day one, liz, and getting slammed because he recognized the issue from day one. >> yeah. and democrats want to put it on donald trump that he somehow stepped in the way of passing this extremely controversial bill. i don't think people understand that this is a bill that's more about immigration than it is about closing the border. if i were you, congressman, and i wonder if this is possible, i would put on the floor something called stop -- close the border bill. that's it. nothing about the dreamers, nothing about how many people get in the border, across the border every day illegally, et cetera. let's tell the american people what they want to hear which is that congress wants to close the border. that's what donald trump wants. that's what the republican party wants. the fact that some senators signed onto this bill makes me crazy because it's not a bill

that in any way protects the american people. maria: he could come up with a bill, liz but it's not going to go anywhere. >> there's the argument again, right? maria: you guys get rolled over. >> there's that. >> well, the bill that you reference is hr2. we did pass that, one of the first weeks of our majority of, kevin mccarthy was speaker. maria: hr2. >> saying for over a year we've got to pass that. republicans were taking care of business in the house. chuck schumer and the senate thinks the american people are fools. president biden wants to do business as usual. it's going to take donald trump to fix this. maria: president trump is campaigning in the south bronx tonight, expected to draw supporters and protesters, this comes as the trial is on pause until after the weekend. the jury will hear closing arrestingments next week. jonathan turley wrote this,

michael cohen's testimony left the prosecution of donald trump in tatters. on msnbc they wrote cohen's past lies made him a more credible witness. that's what the op-ed said, because he lied he becomes more credible, congressman. >> it's crazy. the american people i believe see right through this. president trump and his legal team have really done a fantastic job. i don't know how this is going to end. p i think it will be tough to get a not guilty in manhattan. i think a hung jury is not out of the question and boy would it be spectacular. so we'll see what happens. i believe we'll have an answer next week at the end of the day the president -- maria: does this help trump or hurt trump that now judge merchan says everybody go home, we'll have a holiday weekend and do closing arguments next week. >> everything about this has been nonsense call. ical. i won't begin to speculate. it's been an interesting process. i give credit to president trump

for hanging in there. he's made the best of it. he's got a rally in the bronx and i think we'll have answers soon. at thend of the day, this will help him. maria: congressman, thank you. we appreciate your time. and we'll be right back.

gross. i think you have to take it away. maria: i think it's important. >> he admitted it. he apologized and everything but that doesn't mean he didn't do it and it's absolutely horrific, so yeah, i think that's the right thing to do especially when you have a picture like that. maria: thank you. u.s. regional banks plummeting since the domino effect of silicon valley banks collapse last year, the fdic releaseing the 2024 risk review of the banking conditions in 2023. the banking industry demonstrated resilience but posed challenges in market risk inverted yield curve and declining deposits. there is asset quality deterioration in commercial real estate and consumer loans. joining us now, lindsey johnson. thank you for being here this. >morning. what is your outlook, assess the banking industry for us today. >> look, maria, thanks for having me on. last year around this time we were talking about three pretty high p profile bank failures.

they were i'd y idiosyncratic, t traditional retail banks by any standard. i think a lot of fear and stress was shown in the marketplace, recession fears went as high as 75% during that time but quickly resided. recession obsession has dissipated. the economy has proven its strength. consumers have proven to be very resilient and banks have proven to be resilient. you mentioned the fdic risk review which shows bank capital levels are high, liquidity provisions are very good and banks are taking steps to build reserves in case there's additional headwinds down the road. maria: i want to ask about the regulatory backdrop here. the consumer financial protection bureau is declaring by now, pay later firms must comply with u.s. credit card laws when protecting customers, under the truth in lending act these firms must make refunds or return products, investigate

disputes, pause payments and provide bills with fee disclosures, that's part of it. we've got a whole host of new rules around the climate change agenda out of the biden administration, how would you characterize the regulatory backdrop. >> well, one, it's extremely aggressive against banks right now in particular. the rule that you mentioned by now, pay later, it's a good example of this. where the cpb cuts corners. there's policy, there's process and then there's politics. and while we may agree with the cpb on certain policy, banks are already add a he -- add adherie same standards, the process, they're cutting corners, issuing an interpretive rule, setting a new standard for the companies without giving them the ability to weigh in, without giving them an ability to understand what's going to be the impact to the companies and also to the consumer and we've seen that time and time again. we saw them cut corners

when issuing the credit card late fee, government mandated pricing for credit card late fees, same thing for overdraft. it's problematic, very concerning. maria: you didn't touch on the capital rules and the 3w- basel3 situation which has many bankers upset. jamie dimon was with me recently and said all of this aggressive asset rules is making jp morgan less competitive to its international counter part. you've got what's going on at the fdic, of course, the chairman anno announcing resignn after reports documenting a toxic workplace culture at the agency, he was akey component in getting the controversial basel 3 end game regulation in place. the change in leadership could threaten president biden's banking agenda. how do you see the resignation changing things? >> well, let me first start with the report that you mentioned, so 273 page report that was released a couple weeks ago and

i know a lot of the people at the fdic, these are good, hard-working people and they deserve better. anybody who read the report, who saw allegations about sexual harassment, harassment generally, a toxic workplace, it's hugely concerning. americans deserve better. the public servants that work there he deserve better and so i recall president biden's statements, the very first day that he took office where he told his staff and the agencies themselves if he heard anyone making derogatory statements or bullying he was going to fire them on the spot so he set a very strong standard and i think if it takes a long time to replace chairman grunberg that sends a different message to the employees. maria: are the basel 3 end game regulations going away, is anything changing as a result of the resignation. >> i don't see anything going

away quickly. hopefully it won't be someone who is political, hopefully it's someone who understands banking. i think anyone who is looking at the basel requirements that were issued by the fed in the joint agencies understands that there really was an overreach in this area. these banks are the most highly capitalized in the world and we're going to add an additional 20% of capital to these institutions. so it's problematic, i think it curtails competitiveness of all banks manufacture it's young conservatives week on "mornings with maria." matthew weinberg is coming up. we'll talk about the issues important to that generation. stay with us. ♪ ♪ welcome to the roots of our legacy. where excellence,

- after military service, you bring a lot back to civilian life. leadership skills. technical ability. and a drive to serve in new ways. syracuse university's d'aniello institute for veterans and military families has empowered more than 200,000 veterans to serve their communities and their careers. from professional certifications, to job training, to help navigating programs and services, we give veterans access to support from anywhere in the world. her uncle's unhappy. we i'm sensing an acunderlying 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. colleges across the country hit with lawsuits after allowing anti-israel protests to erupt on campus. later this morning, ucla chancellor gene block and leaders from northwestern and rutgers are scheduled to appear before the house committee on education and workforce on responses to anti-semitism on their campuses. my next g guest sending a letter

demanding legal action for violating the rights of jewish students. joining me is the chairman of the ucla young americans for freedom and ucla law student, matthew weinberg. thanks very much for being here. tell us what's behind your letter and how you would assess school today on this issue. >> well, thanks so much for having me, maria. it's a real honor. and yeah, basically what happened was i run the chapter young americans for freedom at ucla and we attempted to host robert spencer to provide a pro-israel perspective on campus and what happened was the school administration basically originally started off by stonewalling the event. they eventually aproofed the event and then at the very last minute, the day of the event, they decided to cancel the event at the scheduled venue and so it is a clear violation of our

first amendment rights. we're working with mountain state legal foundation to sue ucla for the violation of our first amendment rights and there's a clear double standard against people who hold conservative you views and pro-ish ra-israel wrong. the school needs to be held accountable. maria: where is the pressure coming from that they would cancel the event? >> i think the pressure comes from administration officials as well as students. i think there's a bunch of reasons why i believe they canceled the event p. first is ideological, i believe there's definitely an anti-israel bias at the university administration as across many universities across the country and there's also the fear from students of violence but the truth is, it's unconstitutional. maria: right. >> to not allow an event to happen because of security concerns when they're able to

provide that security and so that is why we're suing. maria: i'm just trying to understand, liz peek, jump in here, i'm trying to understand why they're picking a side, why they canceled the event, liz. >> they can only argue i suppose there was a safety issue. matthew, question for you. are you able to attract more members and recruit more republicans and conservatives during this period? is this a message that's kind of getting out to the campus that there's a nutty and extreme element that's threatening your security and your rights? >> absolutely. actually, ironically the cancellation of theevent has ler membership because there's a lot of people who are center, center left and center right. maria: yeah. >> maybe they're classical liberals and they said wait a minute, let's give this guy a chance to speak. the whole purpose of the event was to give an alternative perspective by a middle east

expert, robert spencer and allow for q & a to happen. if peop-- if people disagreed, e welcome to show up. the school didn't allow that opportunity. maria: i was talking with some voters recently and they felt that the administration's move to withhold and halt weapon shipments to israel was a red line for them. they felt that i just can't support this, i can't vote for joe biden after they stopped and halted the weapons shipments to israel in the middle of israel's fight for survival. what do you think the priorities of your generation are and do you see support for trump or do you see support for biden with young people? >> it's hard to say when you're on a college campus what the overall trends will be amongst young voters but what i will say is that i believe that the jewish people have a moral

obligation to vote republican in this election and the reason i say that is because obviously the biden administration and democrat party at large has completely abandoned the jewish people. one of biden's national security counsel advisors sterling waters, sterling water i believe his name is basically said if biden gets reelected they will fully abandon support for israel. it's not just israel. it's also the fact that in democrat states like new york and california, das are not prosecuting those who are beating up jews in the streets of new york and los angeles, and those are democratic nominated and elected district attorneys and also with respect to college anti-seem csemitism. only republicans are supporting jews on college campuses. maria: thank you. great to have you this morning. matthew weinberg. stay with us. we'll be right back. you're watching "mornings with maria" live on fox business.
