3:00 pm
transfer of wealth of all time. baby boomers are sitting on $78 trillion, the silent generation, $18 trillion. so over the next 10, 20 the years, you're looking at millennials and gen-y, just financial. now, thi yolo world with living for today, it can be tough. and and, by the way, it should be honored because it was worked for, it was earned. the government's going to try to get their hand in the till, no caught about it, because you can't have a utopian world where everyone gets more money if you don't take it from someone else. we need to teach citizens as early as possible the value of money, how to earn it, how to keep it, how to invest it, otherwise it's a curse, not a blessing. right, liz? liz: yeah, and we've seen that come to roost, haven't we? wharton the economist jeremy siegel is about to join us live, he's got a major warning about
3:01 pm
who the freight trains he sees heading toward the economy, delayed reaction to the credit squeeze from the march banking crisis and to the federal reserve's ten interest rate hikes in a row. when will both finally reveal their faces, and how will sock thes react? professor siegel is coming up in a fox business exclusive. in the meantime, let's take a look at stocks. yes, we see green on the screen, but you want to talk a right the trading range? the dow has crossed the unchanged line 100 times this session alone. and it may happen again, like, 12 more times, who even knows? [laughter] uncertainty in the market stemming in great part ahead of tomorrow's debt ceiling talks. and if you flip it over to the s&p, in fact, the 1-month chart here, is the s&p at the moment is up about 7 points and has been in a very tight trading range for most of the month. if you take out may 4th, that's the big gap there, that was the day that pacwest spooked the markets by admitting it was the explore employering strategic
3:02 pm
options, that was -- exploring strategic options. if you ache out mayth, the broader index has been bouncing around in the 4125-41 is 35 range, we're at 4132 the right now. and it doesn't even matter that the regionals are populating the s&p leaderboard at this hour. we've got comerica up 7.75%, key corp. jumping about 6. look at zions, up 7%. again, that's all very nice, but until the debt ceiling chess game between president biden, the democrats and republicans is over, jitters and fears will have stocks banging off the same walls with no breakout. while june 1st is the so-called x date, meaning when the u.s. runs out of borrowing capacity followed by default on debt obligations, let's get right to ken thu poll carry -- kenny polcari. last friday's big meeting scheduled for origin. the sources are telling edward
3:03 pm
lawrence house and senate leadership staffers are negotiating, we could maybe know more about a possible agreement by end of business day today, but until then what else, kenny, can the markets move off, or are we stuck this trading range with no breakout? >> if we're a talking about debt ceiling, we're stuck in this trading range, and there's going to be a default, right? a government shutdown or furloughing workers is one thing, but a straight-up default, not happening in my mind. i think it's going to be the an 11th hour deal that happens. but when it happens, then i think the market will be released from this very tight trading range that you've identified not only today, but really if you look at it over the last week or so so, it's been very, very tight, unable to move up or down of being held hostage by that as well as a range of other issues. the fed, interest rates, what are we doing, what are we not ding. and by your way, you saw the story about michael murray who went out when stocks were getting clobbered, and he took
3:04 pm
big, significant positions because he recognized that maybe the hysteria created a community, and those stocks are much higher, and they're having a great day today, i think, on the back of that story. liz: okay. everybody should watch the markets because this is hitting the tape, kenny. congressional republican leadership has rejected a list of proposals sent by the white house. i'm just reading this right now asst happening. this according to washington post. to reduce the deficit by closing tax loopholes. okay. you know what? they're going to the argue, there's nothing you and i can do about that except help investor viewers right now. so where's the break without? i mean, mr. big short, he made a ton of money by shorting subprime mortgages, and now he's buying, is that what you're saying? >> yeah. he bought all those regional banks when they were creating hysteria over regional banks were going to blow up, blah, blah, blah. he bought western ea alliance, pacwest, new york community
3:05 pm
bank, a lot of those stocks are rallied back. some of them are still struggling, but the other ones are doing very well. so i think there was opportunity there. i also think there's a lot of angst around this whole debt ceiling debacle. i'm, you know, putting it on the back burner because i don't think there's going to be a do debacle. we know they're going to the raise the ceiling, it's just a matter of what agreement do they come to to try to pull back on some of the spending. that's that what everyone's -- liz: okay, so what is the trade? i don't want to cover the same ground twice. we just said that the debt ceiling will be raised eventually. kenny, give it to me, the trade. >> is so, listen, i think the trade -- again, i'm in the broad kind of dethe fencive play. so i'm into still the consumer staples, i'm in energy because i think energy's overdone on the downside. i'm in financials and i'm in artificial intelligence, certainly look at c3.ai, it's up
3:06 pm
20% just today alone as we talk about the role of tech and the role of artificial technology, and if they clear up this debt ceiling thing, i think the market does have room to go to the upside. i think it's getting ready to spring forward once there's news out. so those are the sectors i'm in, those are some of the names that i'm in -- liz: i'm not hearing tech de. what about tech? >> a.i., listen, well, i own the other tech, apple, amazon, all that stuff, i already own it. it's doing better, so i'm not chasing it. but c3.ai is a name that i like. liz: yeah, you like it. >> but i own the other ones, ibm, microsoft, amazon, google, i'm not selling think of them. liz: okay. all right, so you picked up stuff well before michael burry did. i love to hear it. [laughter] thank you so much, kenny polcari. okay, everybody, think you're only one getting turned down for a loan? look at this, this is a brand new bank survey, a lending survey by the federal reserve
3:07 pm
bank of dallas saying that 48% of bankers say they have tightened credit standards for and terms over the past six weeks. has that is the highest share since survey began six years ago. if banks are lending less just as the economy starts to see the effects of the federal reserves 14 -- reserve's 14 months of rate hikes, what are we in for? we're joined by author of the best selling book "stocks for the long run," jeremy siegel. professor, first to the news. the dallas fed collected this data from 67 financial institutions who responded to the survey, and the timing's important, from may 2nd-may 10th. so nearly two months after regional bank crisis began. what should this tell us beyond, you know, it's harder to get a loan right now? >> this tells us that the fed better be very careful. this confirms what's called the sluice survey which is the
3:08 pm
senior loan officer survey that also showed an increase in tightening. i actually believe that the tightening caused by this crisis is equivalent to three or four 25 basis point hikes of the fed. and so they are, they're in dangerous territory precipitating a recession. i was not in favor of the last 25 basis points. i was very pleased to see that they are likely to pause, but there's still a lot of hawks there on the committee that just want to keep on raising it until they smash the economy. liz: what is the one piece of data -- or it could be a development because, of course, in march we had quite the development with the bank crisis. what is the one piece that you're looking for that should say to the fed not only stop now, but start cutting? >> well, when i look at the
3:09 pm
weekly jobless claims, and they jumped up last thursday. they report it every thursday morning at 8:30 on a weekly basis. it is the most sensitive and timely survey of the condition of the labor market. it is a volatile indicator, so i want to see whether this thursday confirms the jump on that survey. but if that number continues to rise, we are not only going to see a further softening of the payroll increase, we're going to see a rise in unemployment and very likely negative payroll increase numbers. if in other words, layoff numbers the coming months. liz: this is also just hitting the tape. folks, we're getting a lot of breaking news here. the richmond fed's tom barkin, professor, is saying he sees, quote, no barrier to higher rates -- meaning tightening more rates again -- if inflation
3:10 pm
persists. i mean, this to me means they're going all in. they will continue to tighten rates. >> well, i think, i think they're going to pause in june unless we get super hot labor market report. remember, last week's inflation reports both on consumer and producer were fairly good. in fact, slightly below expectations. the labor -- liz: yeah, but that cpi core, but, professor, that cpi core number was really hot. and when you're looking at the core, that's important. i know you have your own data that you have comprised where your core includes the prices of housing, rent -- which you have said have been an indicator that's coming down. but when you hear bar quinn i saying -- bar kin saying, i'm, no barrier to higher rates if inflation persists, he didn't even say gets hotter, he said per if cysts. >> i think that would be a big
3:11 pm
mistake, and you're certainly right and the fed e and jay powell has acknowledged that they're using stale data in their housing series, and housing is 40% of that core inflation. home prices are coming down. rentals are coming down. now, i don't mean they're certainly lower than a year ago, but they are certainly lower than the jumps that we saw six months ago. and i use very current data from the case-shiller index, from the apartment -- from the zillow index. and i actually show that core inflation using current data has actually slowed to 2% -- liz: okay. >> -- which is their goal. so, you know, quoting their data, i think, is stale data, and i think that they're likely to cause a much more severe slowdown and recession if they continue hiking.
3:12 pm
liz: well, minneapolis fed president neel kashkari thinks you're with the crowd that's being fooled, and those are his words. he said this morning specifically, because we've seen a few months of cooling inflation doesn't mean we should not be fooled by that. the fed has more work to do. >> i certainly realize there's some like austan goolsbee of the chicago fed that wants to be cautious. remember, monetary policy works with a lag. if they wait until the labor market really comes down, unemployment really rises, they've waited too long. i mean, steering the economy is not like driving a car do -- [laughter] you know, when you have your hands on the steering wheel and you can instantly move it right or left. they should have learned that lesson when inflation started and picked up and then, you know, they started tightening 14 months ago knowing that it
3:13 pm
wouldn't really start having an effect until 6 months, 8 months later. if you wait and see real declining labor market, my research says you've waited too long. i hope that they pause. yes, we might have -- we're going to have some wage increases, and don't forget workers have fallen behind inflation over the last three years since the pandemic began. liz: true. >> you know, i think this idea of suppressing wages further does not do service to all the americans that have fallen behind inflation. liz: and i do want to say this, in 3-4 months, professor, tell me right now where will we be in the jobs market? do you think that we will see the jobs market convert to negative, meaning contraction? >> very likely. i see very likely by the middle -- well, certainly the third quarter this year we're going to get some prints of
3:14 pm
negative job growth. and that's going to open people's eyes, because as we all know we're entering big political season. i don't think the incumbent president wants to see unemployment rise and negative payroll going into 2024. liz: wow. all right, well, you say they're in very dangerous territory and that they really need to stop looking at stale data. thank you so much, professor, we appreciate it. professor jeremy siegel of the what areon school of business. openai head honcho sam altman is set to testify before congress tomorrow as the u.s. scrutinizes the risk and rewards of art official intelligence. insurance firm lemonade only sees rewards, informs, it's already -- in fact, it's already squeezing everything it can from the disruptive tech, and it shows. lemonade's see owe is next on whether a.i. will speed up its path to profitability now.

3:20 pm
technology poses. lawmakers, of course, you know this is coming, they will question altman for the first time since openai's chat bot took the world by storm late last year, so you know they're going to use it as a platform to the hear their own voices. within hours of launching, it saw mass adoption by everyone from college students to business leaders. so you're not putting that genie back in the bottle. insurance provider lemonade saw the benefits of a.i. years before chatgpt came on the scene. the app uses a home grown a.i. chat bot to help customers find and bundle insurance options. it also uses machine learning to predict catastrophes and claims and uses that data to price its policies. joining me now, the company's ceo, daniel schreiber, here in a fox business exclusive. boy, what do you think they're going to hit sam altman on? >> oh, wow. it's like an alien intelligence has come to to either, and the congress has to come together and say what do we do with this?
3:21 pm
you're absolutely right. i really to to do think we're going to the look back at the end of november 2022 as an event that transformed humanity in so many ways, and i wish congress good luck in getting their arms around that. liz: when congress sees something, they want to to slap their regulatory pause right on it, right? so what do you hope doesn't happen? >> i don't know, i really don't envy them. i don't know what they're able to do. so we think of chatgpt as being a unique product if offered by openai, then by bing, microsoft, now google, it's becoming an open source powerhouse, these technologies are available to the masses, i don't know this genie's going anywhere anytime soon regardless of what congress wishes. liz: you can't unscramble that egg. >> there you go. liz: we just had the parent of office depoe and office max sitting in that chair, and can and he's already struck a deal with moth to use chat-- with microsoft to use chatgpt for awe all kind of things. you launched in to 2016 on your

3:23 pm
that to keep rates so low. i saw that you have home insurance as low as -- or renter's insurance as low as $5 a month in. >> that's right. liz: how is that possiblesome. >> it's exactly what you just said, when you've got bots instead of brokers, you are collapsing costs not at the expense of the customer experience, but actually to the delight of consumers. if if you get paid in three seconds, you're not going to complain. you're going to be thrilled to bits. and, indeed, the customer satisfaction score that lemonade sees usually seen by the likes of tesla, apple, not by insurance companies. are. liz: how do you work off evidencesome don'toff to show up to see that -- somebody's basement is flooded? >> if it's a basement, you can take photos. all of our claims are made with a video from the phone with the app. there's a whole load of information that the app can upload and analyze. liz: you just reported a loss in q1, but you beat on revenue. so when will a.i. push you, when
3:24 pm
will jim the chat bot push you to profitability? i know people are dying to know. >> we're well on our way. look at our q1 results. we reported 115% increase in revenue, 115%, and only a 4% increase in operating expenses. is not only did we beaten top and bottom liker but you're starting to see the leverage that comes fromming having these kinds of systems. what we need to do is continue to grow because the expense will stay pretty static, and that is the secret to profitability. liz: and you are, last time you were here, we talk about pet insurance, and you've got lemonade maid car. you just launched in texas. i know it's the huge, i would imagine, but when do you take over the geicos of the worldsome.

good scoop, what she received democratic lawmakers that were on the committee, they're talking points. they were giving a set talking points. each democratic member of the committee what to say, they were all aligned against crypto. they were all aligned in terms of gary gensler in favor of regulation by enforcement agenda. that all cryptos are securities. really looks like the democratic party aligned against the crypto industry. don't you agree with that? >> i think there is, there is a clear contingent of democrats, frankly aco contingent of republicans as well don't want to see legislation passed today but i don't -- >> who is on the republican side? i see democratic talking points specific taking aim at the crypto industry. i don't see republican talking

anti-democrat story. there are democrats at the hearing just last week who spoke up in support of change and supportive of the transformative future cryptocurrency can bring. this is not a republican oasis. there are smart people on both sides looking at this. can understand what it can do for america. liz: as we get closer to the regulation, we love to have you back. >> thank you so much. i would love to be back. liz: he was right there in the thick of it. >> i still don't see where it is equal. i don't know. i'm just looking where is it equal? where is it equal? where is it equal? democrats have talking points. democrats have talking points crypto is bad, bad, bad. liz: you don't think republicans have talking points too? >> no. they don't say, bad, bad. liz: lovely. >> doesn't make sense. >> respect to being married with charlie. can't imagine arguments you have. >> the sense of it.
