charles: good luck to the bengals. rob, scott, thank you very much. i just will reiterate one thing, we were here during the pandemic, march, april 2020. we were here in december. that was tough christmas, can december 2018. and immediately thereafter, tons, a lifetime of money was made, so do not panic, whatever you do. i'm going to hand it over to lauren simonetti. she's in for liz claman and, boy, oh, boy, i'm watching every minute of this next hour. laura: -- lauren: these are scary times, charles. fed fears, worries over imminent hostilities between russia and ukraine sparking the selloff that you are seeing friday afternoon. there is one green arrow on that screen. it is oil, topping at one point $94 a barrel. we have cp morgan chase's chief global strategist david kelly right here beside me to put it all in perspective for you because i know it's scary when you look at these redder rows that we saw yesterday too. meanwhile, a crackdown could be

coming for the canadian truckers along the u.s. border. we're going to go straight to ottawa for a live report. super bowl sunday, it's almost here, and fans of the rams and bengals gearing up for the big day, but could it be the coming-out party for crypto? we're going to go to the site of the super bowl for details. and former bengal anthony munoz is going to be here sharing his experience playing in the big game not once, but twice as cincinnati's going to try to do it three times sunday. a company that is battling with elon musk for superiority of the brain. the ceo of neuroone joins us in a fox business exclusive. all right. investors already under pressure on inflation and those fed if rate hike worries, but now geopolitical concerns are piling on. in a white house briefing the last hour, national security adviser jake sullivan warning that russia could potentially
12:02 pm
launch an invasion of ukraine any day now and advised any americans still there to leave immediately. sullivan also said an attack could possibly come while the olympics in beijing are ongoing. let's start with the 10-year treasury yield, losing ground as investors flee to the safety of government bonds. the treasury yield is now down 8 basis points, 1.95%. wall street's fear gauge, the vix index, is hitting its highest level since january 31st. it was at 31, now it's backing off to 29 and change. oil futures rising over 5%, now 93.60 a barrel. the u.s. dollar, that is strengthening on the invasion fears of ukraine as well. and defense names are moving higher at this hour. let's pull them up and talk more about. this developing geopolitical crisis with chief global strategist is at jpmorgan chase, david kelly. i'm just looking at the plays that investors have in front of
12:03 pm
them. you've got inflation, now you have the russian tensions. do we stand a chance? what do you do? >> i think the market will correct more significantly because of this if we do have an actual russian invasion of ukraine because that could disrupt global oil markets, global natural gas markets, could affect the european economy. but i think what you do is look at valuations. the whole market isn't affected. large cap growth stocks in the u.s. are pretty expensive, but value stocks aren't expensive. international stocks, in general, are not expensive. there are areas in the market you can invest in and not be too exposed as a long-term investor even if the market takes a hit from this. la. lauren: so far this year the s&p 500 is down about 7%. you say the market can instantly correct? what is the decline that you're looking at? how bad does it get? >> you can't predict that in any exact way. what you know is if you buy stocks for the long run are, they're going to be more
12:04 pm
volatile, but in the long run, you get more returns. so, yes, you could see a significant correction, but you've got to think about what you own here. lauren: do you think investors might just take money off the table and say let this play out before we jump back in. >> i think some may, and a lot of investors invest pass ily, don't want to realize capital gains, so there are things that support the market, but there are people who are going to time this and try and ride it down, make some money by shorting the market and that could, of course, cause a more significant correction. lauren: we got the consumer confidence number for february, current number, early this morning. it's at a 10-year low. investors concerned about the rising cost of life, right? inflation, that continues to be a worry. 7.5% is the running rate. and also economic policy that is contributing to it. you know, and now we're looking at oil prices popping because of this imminent potential invasion into ukraine by russia. inflation's everywhere.
12:05 pm
it shows no sign of -- what should the fed dosome. >> they should take it easy. this bout of inflation was caused by both this administration and the last administration pouring more money into the economy than the economy needed. we didn't need those one-time check, but a lot of people spent the money at the time when there really wasn't supply. too much demand, not enough supply, that's what happens. the federal reserve should gradually increase interest rates because they're too low. lauren: define gradual. are you talking about seven rate hikes this year? >> no, what i think they should do is raise 25 basis points every quarter, 1% per year. that's what he should do. i agree they may go faster than that. the classic federal reserve mistake is to wait too long and do too much, and that's what i'm worried about. they should have started raising interest rates a long time ago, reducing their balance sheets a long time ago, but you don't want to overreact because this
12:06 pm
economy's more fragile and vulnerable by the end of this year than it would have been, say, six months ago. and the fed has to think ahead about whether the economy can take it. lauren: i think i heard you say four hikes, in your view. >> that's what they should do. i i do think they're more likely to to go five or six. lauren they each -- they keep saying they're data-dependent, but there could be the big bang there, the half point hike, two jobs reports and another cpi print. >> well, that's right. and the data is being affected, and i do think inflation will ease during the year, but also you've got to think about ukraine. if you do have an invasion, you've got a lot of uncertainty, big fall in the market, that actually might cause them to hold back. lauren: so the fed's going to hold back then many. >> we don't know. i think we'll know more when we see how far vladimir putin is willing to push this murderous campaign. there's no reason for this at
12:07 pm
all. this is a terrible, terrible things too to the poor people of ukraine. let's see how far he goes, let's see how far europe and the united states react to that and what that does to oil and natural gas prices. when we know that, i think we'll have a better idea of what the economy and the fed are going to do. lauren: reports are that russia's actions could start as soon as tuesday. so it seems like it's imminent now, and investors are trying to respond in the meantime. >> yeah. the administration's been kind of warning us, but it's just very tragic for the people of ukraine. lauren: are you worried about stagflation? >> not in the long run. i think stagflation doesn't persist for a long period of time. you may have a time where the economy's in trouble, but the economy getting in trouble will kill the inflation. so it looks like, you know, the cure of one disease causes the other, so to speak. i do think inflation's high and then you could have slow growth or even potentially recession 2023 if everything goes wrong, but i don't think that stagflation is sort of a
12:08 pm
long-term phenomenon here. lauren: what about the r-word, recession? >> i think the risks are rising in '23 -- lauren: dle 23? >> we've got a lot of momentum in the economy. people trying to get back on airlines, restaurants, hotels, we've got plenty of savings, we've got a capital spend cycle, there's such a demand for workers that businesses are anxious to try and find to a way to get more equipment in place, there's a lot of momentum. it's very hard to get an economy to peter out or go into recession right now, but by the end of the year if you've got higher rates, higher oil prices, less consumer confidence, then you could be in more trouble. lauren: so we should be in okay this year, next year you're worried -- >> yeah, but think carefully about what you have in your portfolio. have stuff that's good value, don't have stuff that's overpriced. lauren: quickly, if you were making recommendations right now, what would they be?
12:09 pm
>> overweight u.s. value stocks, international stocks in general, be careful about the mega caps, the bitcoins and, you know, the spacs and more speculative stuff. this is not a time to speculate. lauren: david, we appreciate you, especially on a day a when the dow is down 406 points, and investors are saying, gee, what's going to hit us next? canadian lead user using all of their resources to break up the freedom convoy that snarled traffic and shut down production at awe -- automakers on both sides of the border. truckers continue to protest mandates, week two, week two now. actually, heading into week three. that means authorities are going to try to move the protesters out. a canadian court also issuing an order halting access to over $8 million in funds collected by givesendgo that was directed toward the truckers. we have jeff flock, he's in the mying concern middle of it all. jeff, there hope for a resolution before things get
12:10 pm
worse? >> reporter: i don't know because i have more breaking news for you this hour as well well, lauren, and that is with regard to the truckers and what we now have established from two different sources here. apparently, trucking companies that own some of the trucks are being called by canadian government officials and being told their truck has been identified as being many in a position that is an illegal position, in an illegal protest, and if they do not remove the truck, it will be impounded and, potentially, they will lose access to it and have their trucking licenses suspended. that would have a chilling effect. and i can show you, you see the trucks that are here, there was another one right here over here where pete's, pete is right now. that guy said i don't want to leave, but my bosses told me if i don't bring the truck back, he's going to send somebody out here to get it, so i need to
12:11 pm
leave. and i think that's another prong in this effort that you identified which is the government trying to do everything it can. i mean, this situation you see down here, the convoy here many ottawa was aimed over here at this building which is the parliament. to get the attention of the legislators. the stuff on the border, that is blocking the access from u.s. to canada, that has really gotten a lot of people's attention not just of the parliament, but of people in the u.s. and elsewhere and people that run auto companies, for example. so that's where we are right now. i don't know that there's any answer to your question. i don't know that there's any kind of resolution coming that i see. and perhaps, pete, spin around if you can, increased police presence here as well. some of them would be the equivalent of the capitol police because we're here on parliament hill on wellington street in
12:12 pm
ottawa. they expect a large turn turnout of protesters over the weekend, and i think that probably explains in some ways this increased police presence. we're here, and fox will be here in one way or another through the weekend and into next week if necessary if the truckers to as they say, they're going to stay. lauren: yeah. >> reporter: a shot at more mison the screen. >> reporter: we're seeing organizing here too in the u.s. potentially right around sofi stadium in los angeles. jeff flock, thank you very much for everything today. we do appreciate it. >> reporter: thank yous, lauren -- thanks, lauren. lauren: remember this video? one company focused on curing issues inside the brain is already making in inroads to the most mysterious organ in the human body. the ceo of neuroone is here in a fox business essex collusive. the dow is down 465 points. it's off the lows of the session, but it's been an ugly

12:18 pm
>> we're developing the next generation of electrodes that can be used not only to diagnose, but also to treat those indications. and is really what separates us from everyone else is there's a few things that we try to accomplish, and one is can we make these procedures less invasive. and the answer is you can do that if you're able to make a film very flexible. this is one of the films -- lauren: okay. yeah, keep going. i wanted to make sure -- >> sorry. if you're able to change the shape of it, make it small smaller, you could go as far as potentially placing this through the center of needle to make it less invasive. the second thing is, is to reduce the number of procedures a patient has to undergo. so, for example, if you have epilepsy, you come in for a diagnostic surgery, you go home, you come back then for a therapeutic surgery that removes the problematic area in the brain. what we're trying to do with this electrode, if you can see
12:19 pm
it, is perform both functions with one device. so that instead of having the patient have to go through having holes drilled into his brain twice, they could come into the hospital, have it done in one procedure. and then the last, which starts to get to the sci-fi area that you were talking about, is can you create the flexibility with these electrodes to really customize them for whatever you want to accomplish, whatever the needs of the patient. so here are two lek electrodes that are the same footprint. one on the left has 16 points of contact, this has 90. this is more like -- 900. this is more like an elon musk type where the goal is to place a lot more contacts in the brain to treat some of the more complicated issues that patients may be having. lauren: so what are you trying to treat, at least to start, and then what's the big goal? >> yeah. so our initial focus is on epilepsy, and then the next one
12:20 pm
that we want to really go after and attack is the chronic back pain patients where we're providing a system that can do diagnostics as well as provide stimulation. lauren: you were just looking at neuralink, a competitor of yours, pigs walking on a treadmill. and it seems to me elon musk has this grand vision of maybe eradicating all diseases eventually and also making humans, giving them super intelligence, walking geniuses. it seems to me that you're more targeted, therefore, more real list ec, therefore, you have that fda clearance. >> yes. so what elon is working on will likely take years, and what we're focusing on is the near term. how can we make these procedures safer, more effective for patients but also have
12:21 pm
technology that when it comes time for art artificial intelligence, that all these cool sci-fi things that at least our electro-technology can have some finish. lauren: what do majorities say when -- patients say when they're about to implant something in their brain? >> i can tell you no one is excited about it. you know, brain surgery is very invasive, and each when you use tools that are as small as this when you're drilling tiny holes, it scares the heck out of patients, and it should. so, again, by reducing it to one procedure, you're only putting the patient through this process one time. lauren: yeah. and i hear you've raised $12.5 million from institutional investors. what do you plan to do with that money? >> really continue the development for our therapeutic devices. so we have two devices in development, one that does the combination diagnostics as well as remove brain tissue, and the ore is the -- the other is the
12:22 pm
back pain stimulation system. lauren: yeah. you know, and do you think eventually this technology could be used to treat alzheimer's? >> there's definitely some evidence with some of the studies that have gone on, one at the mayo clinic, where we've seen some evidence that it does help improve short-term memory which is really, you know, what you're going after with alzheimer's, so, yes, i do. lauren lauren dave rosa, thank you for coming on. lots of luck because this is really ground breaking stuff. >> thanks so much for having me. bye-bye. lauren: coming up, under armour having trouble finding it way through the supply chain crunch. we're going to tell you what the popular athletic gear maker said was its biggest problem last quarter. that's coming up in pop stocks. one more time. not even halfway through the final hour of trading, and the dow is down 478 points. the markets are under pressure. bonds are rising amid these ukraine tensions and a possible
