cheryl: good morning, i'm cheryl casone, in for maria bartiromo. it is friday, may 24, 7:00 a.m. on the east coast. time for the hot topic of the hour. former president trump holding a historic rally in the south bronx yesterday vowing to save deep blue manhattan and america, highlighting key issues from the economy to the nation's growing migrant crisis. watch this. >> everyone was better off, we

had the greatest economy in history. everybody was better off under a man named president donald trump. have you heard of him. did you see these people? they are physically fit, 19 to 25, almost everyone is a male and they look like fighting age. i think they're building an arrest he my. there are 29,000 people over the last -- i think they're building -- they want to get us from within. i think they're building an army. they call it the biden migrant invasion and it's wrong. it's immoral. the vast majority of new yorkers agree with me that this is unacceptable. it's unacceptable. i am here to declare we are going to turn new york city around we are going to turn it around very, very quickly. cheryl: the rally drawing in over 25,000 supporters including former democrats who say they are voting for trump. watch this. >> donald trump already showed me that he understands our

problems, he understands what the country needs. you see it. he's a doer so i know he's already shown me things he's done in 2016 and i know he's passionate about certain issues that i'm passionate about. >> he has a conversation with the people. he riffs. he is funny. he understands issues that are important to us. the cost of living spiraled out of control. i don't see biden doing anything about it. there's an influx at the border that needs to be dealt with. trump is the man to do it. cheryl: kathy hochul calling trump supporters clowns in a cmn interview. watch this. >> what won't make a difference at all is for donald trump to be the ring leader and for all his clowns to a place like the bronx, new york will never, ever support donald trump. joe biden's out there on the other side making sure he's delivering for all americans and so go ahead, spend all the time

you want in new york because we'll be with joe biden. cheryl: all right, luke, looks like kathy hochul just had her deplorables moment. >> she did. she says you can't impact new york but the numbers aren't lying. trump's up 10% in the polls, biden is down 20% in new york. but this does not apply just to new york. look at michigan, for example. trump won just by 10,000 votes in michigan in 2020. michigan has a 40% minority population. his rally yesterday, 85% of the bronx is minority population, hispanic and black, right? so michigan, this is not just about new york, this is about minorities rallying behind ralrallying behind trumpev r everywhere and in michigan that matters. this shows you the path that trump is on and how it's going to impact. chenovember.cheryl: if you looe polling, one of the things we've seen is biden has been steadily losing voters he needs in

november especially the younger voter, the younger demographic. they're the ones that are suffering unendflation, they're the ones that are sitting on the student debt which he's trying to pay off because he wants to buy those votes but that's the demographic that is not going to show up for joe biden. they're going to show up for donald trump. >> he had such a large showing in new york which is considered deep blue, right? so that would worry me if i was biden, like how are all these people showing up for him in an area where they traditionally won't. how will that affect the swing states. there will be a handful of small states and that's the turnout that really matters and he's speaking to the people that are hurt the most by the economics. cheryl: five out of the six swing states we're talking about -- thanks, guys, there you go. this is what you're talking about. these are the numbers. thank you, guys. this shows that in every single state but one, it is the former president donald trump against president biden and it's trump in five of the six.

that's incredible to me it. >> is. swing states like where i live, ohio, michigan, this absolutely matters. what's not talked about is the impact third party candidates will have on this election, like the rfks of the world, 57% of people that said they would vote for rfk, if he drops out they would vote for donald trump so rfk is taking votes away from trump. no matter what happens with biden or trump it's really about rfk and third party candidates who dictate the decision of the election. cheryl: this new cook political polls shows third party candidates are hurting biden and boosting trump, back to the swing states like arizona, georgia, michigan, north carolina and nate silver, very prominent pollster posted this on m, he said -- on x, he said if you biden is still struggling in august, he needs to consider stepping aside. what do you make of that? >> i don't think that's going to had happen.

he's not going to step aside. it shows how unpopular a lot of policies are. he has to change something here. last minute efforts to make an executive order on the border, i think people are seeing through it. when he's talking about bidenomics, helping people, people don't feel like it's helping either. i think there's a -- what they're proposing and then there's the reality of what people feel and it's leaning towards trump at this point. cheryl: the economic polls, the border, all of it, all the issues we've been talking about. >> where i come from, you don't swing problems -- sweep problems under the rug. you admit to the problems. biden keeps saying everything is okay. no, inflation is down. that's not the case. where i come from, you own up to your mistakes. yeah, we printed too much money, this inflation is our problem, we're going to fix it. and i think america in general is waking up. >> honesty would do him good on that front, a come to earth moment on that. cheryl: i agree 100%. because the gaslighting is so apparent and so visible and you can't tell somebody that is

paying 20% more for everything under joe biden th that he's pud inflation down because they have credit card bills and rent bills and mortgage bills to prove all of that is untrue. you're lying to the american people. this is why these polls look the way they do. you know what, biden just has to blame himself. there's nobody else he can blame but himself at this point. >> the stock market can saying it hit all time highs, i don't t think that's a solution everyday americans feel. cheryl: or blaming greedy corporations because meat prices are higher. when we come back, we'll talk about markets. we're on the move today after the worst day of 2024, that was yesterday. not even nvidia's blow-out quarter could lift investor spirits over rate cuts and inflation. we've got the word on wall street panel here to weigh in coming up next. then we'll have maria bartiromo's interview with jeffrey g gunlack, that's in the

do you have a life insurance policy you no longer need? now you can sell your policy - even a term policy - for an immediate cash payment. call coventry direct to learn more. we thought we had planned carefully for our retirement. but we quickly realized we needed a way to supplement our income. our friend sold their policy to help pay their medical bills, and that got me thinking. maybe selling our policy could help with our retirement. i'm skeptical, so i did some research and called coventry direct. they explained life insurance is a valuable asset that can be sold. we learned we

could sell all of our policy, or keep part of it with no future payments. who knew? we sold our policy. now we can relax and enjoy our retirement as we had planned. if you have $100,000 or more of life insurance, you may qualify to sell your policy. don't cancel or let your policy lapse without finding out what it's worth. visit coventrydirect.com to find out if your policy qualifies. or call the number on your screen. coventry direct, redefining insurance. cheryl: time now for the word on wall street, top investors watching your money, joining me now is former gartman letter editor, dennis gartman. also with me on set in new york, lukelloyd. the dow closing over 600 points lower yesterday, 605, the worst day of 2024. and you had nvidia's blockbuster earnings failing to lift the

market as that stock passed the $1,000 mark after they crushed the first quarter, sales surging 262%. net income, $15 billion, luke. the data center category rose 427%, 22.6 billion. all of this was phenomenal and the stock is higher again, more than 1%. but the journal reports that big tech is ramping up, spending on a.i. overseas, saying that microsoft has plans for more than 16 billion in investments over the next several years spread between france, germany, japan, malaysia, spain and indonesia. amazon is planning infrastructure investments of 15 billion in japan, 9 billion in singapore of, 5 billion in mexico, 1.3 billion in france. so i gave you a lot to -- my apologies. bigger question to the broader markets, we had a massive selloff that had nothing to do with a.i. and then nvidia's blow-out quarter and on the investments that the journal is talking about right here doesn't seem to move the needle on the

market. >> let's start with a.i. is going to be bigger and more revolutionary probably than the internet. this thing is here to stay. it's projected to add 30% to corporate profits over the next decade, if you do the s&p 500, over $40 trillion of market cap, tens of trillions of dollars for the s&p 500, probably more for the entire world. that's going to trickle through the economy. the question you need to ask is what is the long-term implications of artificial intelligence. is it going to be potential job loss down the road for middle class america? is it going to be more corporate profits at the expense of the little guy at a home? is it going to be the bigger getting bigger like large corporations that we've seen at the expense of small businesses that are 45% of the economy, it was 50% of the economy before covid. that continues to go lower and lower. what investors need to realize is, as of right now corporations are spending a lot of money on aivment you want to be in the

a.i. space. you want to look outside of the nvidias of the world, under the hood, under the radar. we picked up the wide path that we picked up, help coders become more efficient with designing a.i. there are a lot of stocks that will ben it from the tens of trillions of dollars made from corporate profits. cheryl: dennis, what do you say to all of that. you say you should have heeded such reversals like what we saw yesterday. it presents a buying opportunity when you have the dow sell off 605 points. >> it's a rareity to see the market trace out what is known as an outside reversal where you go to the new high and close below the previous day's lows. what i learned is to pay attention to reversal days, they usually mark important tops and bottoms when they reverse to the upside after a long retracted bear market. the fact we had an outside reversal day on nvidia's

announcement, when we open the markets dramatically higher and close on the down side. pay attention to that. i think it's bearish. it's not a time to buy, it's a time to be very careful, time to take profits, time to stand to the sidelines if at all possible. i think yesterday was an important trading day and we should pay attention to that fact. cheryl: dennis, well heeded your words there and i want to look at the 10 year treasury yield because we're looking ahead to a lot ofy consistent ot week. we get the pce index on friday. and then you've got this, jp morgan chase chairman and a ceo jamie dimon saying a hard landing for the u.s. cannot be ruled out and the worst outcome for the economy will be a stagflation scenario. that's jamie dimon, dennis, that said that. >> don't argue with jamie dimon. cheryl: i don't. >> he's been very right for a long period of time. what bothers me is the fact

we've had an inverted yield curve for almost two years, that's always indicative or presenting an economic downturn, recession of some consequence. we've had a number of indicators that in the past have always been preludes to recession and i have to be careful about that fact. i think we're going to be in a recession in the not too disdistantfuture. the fact the yield curve has been inverted as long as it has been has been a constant and important predicter of economic downturns, i think it will be lesser, not better. don't argue with jamie dimon. i think he's right. cheryl: that's why i think those words were so -- i mean, everyone on the street really took notice of that specific comment from him. >> yes. cheryl: luke, i want to go back to you on the middle class. we've been talking about inflation this morning. you're saying they're getting left behind, stock prices hit all time highs but that is not helping the middle class. what do you mean by that?

>> all borrowing does from the government, coring'ses or personal -- corporations or personal debt goes to the top. it funnels to the top of america. when you have phantom debt, buy now, pay later, $800 billion out there, that's going to the top, larger corporations. when you have inflation airily issues like we've seen and you have interest rates rise as quickly as they did that hurts middle class america, then you have taxes down the road to pay for it all, that's going to impact middle class america. if you have $100 million, go really high, $100 million in assets, you make 10%, you usually have that money invested long term cap gains, keeping that running, you don't pay necessarily taxes and inflation isn't greatly impacting you like middle class america. making $100,000 salary and have to pay more in rent, pay more in insurance, all your costs, groceries go up, if you make 10% on your 401-k that has 400 grand in it, it don't impact you as

much. middle class america gets separated, big get bigger, small get smaller, government bailout expedites that. cheryl: good points from you. dennis, great to see you. thank you for being here, have a good holiday. >> always good to see you, cheryl. thank you for having me on. cheryl: luke's with us all morning long. coming up, the senate flailing to pass the border bill for a second time, even co-authors of the bill couldn't vote for it. texas congresswoman beth van duyne is here on capitol hill's busy day, plus how president biden's tax hikes are failing small businesses. you're watching "mornings with maria" live on fox business. ♪

cheryl: the senate failing to pass the white house backed border bill for the second time yesterday. chuck schumer blaming republicans. watch this. >> we're going to keep trying this year because we believe this is so important. the republicans don't have any explanation why they voted no. this was a bill they all supported. you heard the words from leader mcconnell and others. and then donald trump says don't

support it and they turn around. cheryl: house speaker mike johnson putting out an official statement, writing instead of considering hr2, house republicans legislation that would immediately secure the border, senator y schumer wasted time on voting on border bill that has no chance of passing either the house or senate. meanwhile, the house advancing a bill to repeal washington, d.c.'s law which would have allowed noncitizens to vote in local elections. 52 democrats joined republicans to you a approve the measure, 143 democrats voted against it. joining me is texas congresswoman beth van duyne, a member of the house ways and means and small business committees and chairman of the subcommittee on oversight investigations and regulations. congresswoman, always great to speak with you. i want to start with the latter there that i just brought up and that is that move to try and

have noncitizens be able to vote in washington, d.c. there's efforts like this happening in other cities but this was stopped in congress. let's talk about it. >> well, good morning, cheryl, appreciate you having me on. you're absolutely right. the only city that federal government actually has any kind of control over is d.c. but you are exactly right, what we're seeing is in cities across the country, they're trying to have provisions to have folks who are not here legally giving them the act to vote. when we have seen 10, 11 million people entered the country illegally in the last three years, that should be a concern for everybody. we took it upon ourselves yesterday to have majority of republicans -- all republicans and some democrat as you noticed actually voted to say if you're in the country illegally you don't have all the rights provided by the constitution including the right to vote. cheryl: let's go back to the border bill now. you've been opposed to anything

that wasn't hr2. you've been very clear about that. so obviously now you with what e senate -- i want to say doa, dead on arrival. it was. but the at the same time what is interesting is now you've got president biden who is reportedly working on an executive order which he could have done weeks ago but now reportedly he's going to come up with some eo that will temporarily shut down the southern border. your thoughts on this. >> yeah, it's not necessarily i'm against anything other than hr2. it's a strong bill. it could have been stronger, could have had measures in it that focused on fighting the cartels that we see so much damage coming into our country but it was a strong bill and the senate has been sitting on it. instead, they're playing political theater, turning back a second time a bill that let me correct chuck schumer when he

said all republicans were for it. if they were for it, it would have come out of the senate the first time around. bringing it up a second time is political theater. they're trying to say they're doing something. they've got a strong bill in hr2 that would change policies that the you biden administration from day one has put into place that have caused 10 to 11 million people to come into the country illegally, that have caused over 110,000 people who have been basically murdered by fentanyl poisonings that didn't need to happen. these are provision that's would change the policy that had been put in place by executive order. by the way, which means we didn't really need to have a bill if the administration was doing its job. hr2 is meant to force the administration to have the agencies enforce laws because by executive order things that were on the table like remain in mexico, like title 42, were removed when biden entered office and policies that were

put in place like catch and release, like the app that all you have to do is get on your phone and get up to the border they a allow you in without a court date, without knowing who you are. those are the provisions that hr2 is trying to force a change but a bill and law did not have to happen if the executive office took enforcing our laws and national security seriously which only because of polling numbers are you seeing biden actually start to have to do something. cheryl: i agree with you. i think everyone sees right through the eo move, for sure, congresswoman. while i've got you here, you are a member of the house small business committee. one in four small businesses are failing within the first year of operation according to the lending tree analysis from the labor department. more than 43 million small businesss in our country. americans may be less likely to buy goods and services under the squeeze of inflation from a small business. what policy changes could help

support small businesses, what could be done? because this is a staggering rate. >> first of all -- it's a staggering rate. looking at the 20% increase in inflation, looking at the rocket -- sky-high interest rates that these businesses are having to pay just to take out money to be able to put back in their business is rid ic -- business s ridiculous. we passed through the house earlier this year the american families and jobs act, that would double the guaranteed deduction, extends tax credits -- tax cuts and j jobs act which are expected to expire in 2025, which allows things for tax deductions for research and development which is important for the energy sector, allowed borrowing expenses to be tax deducted, when looking at interest rates companies are facing specifically in manufacturing it's so important. and it allowed expensing for manufacturing, again, all

industries, to be able to compete globally. these were things that were in the tax package that were passed out of ways and means, passed out of the house several months ago and the senate is just sitting on it. if we were really serious about helping small businesses, which are feeling the pressure of inflation and interest rates so acutely, again, senate has the ability to do that but this is just another bill that chuck schumer is sitting on. cheryl: we've heard from several senators on the left that said that they blame the house republicans for nothing getting done in the house. well, this got done, so here you go. >> another one that got done that they're doing nothing with. exactly. exactly. cheryl: it's amazing. congresswoman van dine, great to see you as always. have a great holiday weekend. >> thank you, cheryl. cheryl: we've got a lot more coming up this morning. president trump reaches voters in deep blue new york city. as more americans sound off on the state of the hush money trial you which could go to the jury next week. closing arguments are on

>> it's like a kangaroo court. if it's not thrown out i'll be shocked. >> propaganda. i don't think there's much there. trump himself, i didn't vote for him. cheryl: americans from across the country weighing in on former president trump's new york trial, trump campaigning in the south bronx yesterday as the so-called hush money trial is on pause after the memorial holiday weekend. the jury is going to hear closing arrestingments start -- arguments starting next week, starting on tuesday. yesterday the new york appellate court ruling against trump on two decisionses, the court refused a motion to move the trial out of manhattan and refused to find that judge merchan improperly decided not to recuse himself from the case. joining us now is attorney for president trump, will sharp, who is on the president's appellate team. so many questions for you. so obviously this case is -- we were going into closing arguments on tuesday, it is going to stay in manhattan, despite best efforts.

my question to is are you already working on a plan if president trump is found guilty in a new york courtroom next week? >> well, first of all, we believe president trump is going to be acquitted and that any fair jury would speed ely acquit him for the reason that the prosecution produced absolutely no evidence that president trump did anything wrong, that he committed any crime, this is a case that should have never been brought in the first place. if there were to be a conviction, we would obviously speedely appeal that, we would expect any conviction to be quickly overturned on you appeal because of the abs absolute dirf that the prosecution produced here and the irregularities that occurred at every stage of the the trial. i would focus on the fact that the prosecution has clearly failed to meet its burden of proving its case beyond a reasonable doubt and we hope the jury sees things that way. if they don't, we would

obviously vigorously appeal any conviction in the case to vindicate president trump's rights. cheryl: obviously there's been a lot of discussion about the lack of a case but alvin bragg seems to have taken this dice a manhattan courtroom knowing it was in new york city and that this is a blue city and they seem to be -- this is from many sources and many on-air commentators that said to us that alvin bragg feels he will get a conviction because it's new york so the question is when you go to you appeal do you take the judge's behavior, is that what helps you the most on appeal? is it alvin bragg's conduct or lack ther thereof in the case, t bringing enough evidence, not bringing the right evidence to the courtroom? what are the specifics you believe you can win with on appeal? i ask you because this could unfold next week very quickly. closing arguments are tuesday. >> look, there are any number of issues we would raise on

appeal. obviously evi evidentiary deficiency, numerous trial decisions by judge merchan relating to what evidence he allowed in, what he didn't ahow in, what sorts of arguments he allowed to be made and what he kept out of the courtroom, i think the change of venue motion, the motion to recuse judge merchan all are issues that would be raised in a peel if a conviction were to happen. i disagree with the analysts you cited. any fair jury would see through the sham of a case and i'm hopeful the jury seated in this case can look past any potential political issues, any political biases and see the case for what it is which is an absolutely baseless prosecution brought for fundamentally political, not legal reasons. cheryl: the reason i ask that is why would alvin bragg bring something -- the man is not dumb. why bring something against the former president of the united states when your key witnesses,

your star witnesses are storm hey daniels and michael cohen, a convicted felon? i think those are fairs questions and that's why you have to wonder why would bragg do this, it's because he's banking on the new york jury. also you've got a couple of attorneys on the jury. we shall see next week is going to be a block buster in this case. i do want to move on to some other things. former president did discuss the possibility of needing to you appeal the final verdict in the new york trial. watch what he said. >> in new york, this is where i grew up, i was born here, i grew up here and i see what's happening with the judicial system and it's just -- it's all kangaroos and we just can't have it and i think the appellate courts can take care of a lot of things. but this one shouldn't get to an appellate court. this should be an easy ruling. it would be great for judge merchan to rule from the bench.

cheryl: i wanted to play the sound bite from the former president because look at what happened in the harvey weinstein case in new york. that was overturned. >> yeah, well, and we've he had a lot of success with the appellate division in previous matters. they addressed in the civil enforcement action brought by a a g latisha james against president trump, the appellate overruled the judge four times so we believe ultimately the courts will get this right. the question is how much damage is done in the meantime. you asked why alvin bragg would bring a case like this. i think the answer is simple. election interference and base political motivations which should have no role whatsoever in a proceeding like this in any prosecution. i think this case is deeply offensive to core american notions of the rule of law, of the way that we're supposed to conduct elections in this country. this is a deeply, deeply offensive prosecution to me as a former prosecutor and i believe that whether it's at trial

through the jury or on appeal ultimately president trump will be vindicated. cheryl: before you go, i want to ask you about the georgia case. so the georgia state senate committee investigating misconduct by da fani willis held another hearing yesterday, they heard testimony from a former staffer who says she was demoted and a fired because she complained about misuse of funds. willis d did win her democratic pry mayor rim i want to get your thoughts on what we learned from the former employee of hers, how that could impact trump's georgia case. >> look, i think fani willis is in more actual legal jeopardy than any of the defendants in that sham prosecution she brought down in georgia. these allegations being raised are very, very serious. you're talking about misuse of federal funds, potentially criminal allegations against fani willis. we've obviously seen misconduct from her and her team throughout the prosecution.

that object obviously blew up ir face with the nathan wade situation. we are hopeful the georgia appellate courts similarly discall you phi fani willis because of how conflicted she is in the matter and i would hope the criminal pros prosecutors d take a long, hard look at potentially bringing her the justice. cheryl: will sharp, we would love to have you back as soon as you're available. thank you for being here this morning. >> great to be with you. thanks a lot. cheryl: we've got a lot more coming up this morning. women's health magazine fawning over white house press secretary karine jean-pierre and how she deals with having what they call one of america's most stressful jobs. we're going to talk about it. but first, americans heading for the sunshine state are finding home prices falling. fox business' ashley webster
