your robberies are 87% higher than the national average. >> your job, i'm speaking, your job will be to protect voters. i hope he answer. when we met yesterday. >> you pointed your finger at me. >> let me answer my question. >> i'm not being bullied. >> of president elect trump suggest or hence u.s. attorney general should investigate one of his perceived political enemies which he did so. >> i wish you had met with me, had you met with we could've discussed many things. >> could you respond to the question. >> you the only one who refused to meet with me senator. >> the senate will confirm a few of the nominees within hours of the inauguration but some can take several days, weeks and months to be confirmed.

maria: thank you so much. we are looking at more today let's talk about this what did you hear yesterday, lee carter your reaction. >> the party of unity the democrats have said that they're trying to reach out and they're trying to be the party of all americans, the way that they behaved through the hearings has been unbelievable, it feels like a child in a hearing. it seems like a gotcha exercise, it doesn't seemed like anybody's trying to get to the truth and there's so much grandstanding, i'm so impressed with the cabinet nominees that they have been going through this and they kept their calm and their poise. you cannot imagine how hard it is to not get words out of your mouth without losing your mind in the steady hand that pam bondi had yesterday, pete hegseth and others with marco rubio, what a star so well prepared. it makes me more confident in the cabinet nominees and i look forward to monday and hoping everybody does the right thing. maria: the treasury secretary nominee scott bessent will be up

there today. i have his confirmation hearing statement and he said my life has been the only america story that i'm determined to preserve for future generations. he talked how he was raised in a modest upbringing and he said i believe trump is a generational opportunity to a golden age that will create more jobs. a water bring this up you know senator elizabeth warren will try to attack him on taxes and extending the taxes. >> biden and his farewell speech brought up the rich need to pay their fair share, earth to bite in the top 50% pay 97.7% of all the income taxes out there the bottom 50% pay two-point to percent. in regards to scott bessent. one of the most important things that i heard from him, he is really focused on preserving the dollar as a reserve currency of the world. i know it seems like far stretched that i never lose that

title but ray galliano has done the studies and he studied thousands of years of empires they tend to last two to 50 years on average. then they battle high debt and high deficit, interest-rate start to go up on them there's a rising economic and military superpower that is an adversary and then they have currency status, everything is true about the united states right now except for the reserve currency that is typically the last thing so we have to preserve that. maria: nobody thought rome would fail one of the items in scott bessent's opening statement if congress fails to act americans will face the largest tax increase in history a crushing portraying invalid tax hike we must make the 2017 tax cut and jobs acting up amid new growth policies and extend those, your reaction. >> absolutely agree, we need to do it quickly, that is one of the things that we know a lot of the conversations around one, two, when does it get done what

is the deadline to get some assurance back to the market that these tax cuts are going to be extended i think the market is building that in and a lot of the economy is depended on the extension of the tax cuts we know the government brought in more revenue than they have ever brought in under those tax cuts, secretary yellen's comments yesterday were absolutely ridiculous. i think that's what were seen across the board with the democrats are freaking out for lack of a better term but congress is focused on extending the tax cuts and doing it quickly and getting that assurance to the immigrant people. [crowd boos] scott bessent that will be important today, john ratcliffe on the hill he talked about truth and he's a truth teller hears john ratcliffe as he spoke with the senators for his confirmation to run the cia. >> i want to warn the country of things that give me great concern. today an oligarchy is taking shape in america extreme wealth,

power and influence that threatens our entire democracy americans are being buried under an avalanche of misinformation and disinformation enabling an abuse of power, the free press is crumbling and the disappearing, social media is giving up on fact checking. >> in 2020 when the chairman of an intelligence committee misrepresented that a laptop owned by then candidate biden's son was a russian intelligence operation in 51 former intelligence officials use the premature of icing authority to go along with that. i stood in the breach and i stood alone and i told the american people the truth about that. my record in truth the power in defending the intelligence

community and it's good work is very clear. maria: that was ratcliffe on the hill on the testimony and he referred to an appearance on this program and 2020 when he told us the facts about the laptop when john brennan and james clapper in the democrats were telling us it was russian disinformation right before the 2020 election. here is ratcliffe. >> it is funny that some of the people to complain the most about intelligence being politicized are the ones politicizing intelligence. unfortunately in this case it is adam schiff the chairman of the house intelligence committee as you pointed out on friday said that the intelligence community believes that hunter biden's laptop in the e-mails are part of a russian disinformation campaign. let me be clear the intelligence community does not believe that

because there's no intelligence that supports that, we shared no intelligence or chairman schiff or any member of congress that hunter biden's laptop as part of a russian disinformation campaign, it's simply not true don't drunk the intelligence community into this, hunter biden's laptop is not part of a russian disinformation campaign it's clear that the american people know that. maria: ratcliffe has been a truth teller from day one there was a national security a couple of days ago trump cia pic expected to push for bareknuckle spy craft against china. he knows the issues that are important. he understands the threat of china in john ratcliffe is going to be aggressive against it, this is good to be important. >> were seen with john ratcliffe in this panel of nomination is some of the most qualified that we have seen in trump is very careful and his team drink at the micro pers policy institute and others over the last four years to not only that and make

sure that these folks are prepared for the confirmation hearing but they have all of the facts to bring to the table and we've seen them do that time and time again. and burying and doing us a favor and those confirming don't want to align themselves with the rhetoric that the democrats have shown. maria: let's take a short break, we had to get back tpresident biden's final commentary which we showed you there and bank earnings, looking at markets bank of america and morgan stanley with quarterly numbers before the opening bell. asset management matt cole is here with expectations. don't miss that. yoare watching "mornings with maria". stay with us. ♪ ya know, that's backed by j.p. morgan's leading strategists like us. when you want to invest with more confidence... the answer is j.p. morgan wealth management shame. it's been here as long as i can remember. living in glances of people i loved.

after the december consumer price index stocks could be close to wiping out the election day rally on a volatile start to the year as investors question the federal reserve next move, joining astride asset management ceo and chief investment officer matt cole, good to see you, you said marketer looking forward to president-elect deregulation of the private enterprise. i totally understand that, the bank and energy stocks have been trading on this expectation that rules and regulations are about to come down. do you think there is a trump put in the market how will this play out given all the expectation that a been priced in over the last year or do you think the most recent volatility gives you another opportunity to buy on the deregulation hump. >> obviously the market did really well after the trump victory and it's nice that the consolidating and i think that makes a lot of sense but to me what we are looking at with deregulation really ties back to a.i. and how much a.i. will

matter and a lot of people in the tech industry are saying the next ten years will be 100 years of innovation. if you take that to be true then the trump presidency is the equivalent of ten normal presidencies with regards to what deregulation means and it's hard to price that in with regards to an election and before you actually see it. when you see deregulation happening and innovation pick up you can have a lot of bullish tailwinds of markets over the next four years. >> i think when markets are watching today's activity they will have one eye on scott bessent in the confirmation hearing. i would imagine this will be market friendly, he's going to talk about deregulation and extending the tax cut into talk about the dollar and how it's important to continue preserving the strength of the dollar in the reserve currency. >> we were just talking in the break how you guys are bullish on crypto and bitcoin

specifically and we know that scott bessent is pro-crypto, there has been talk over the course of the last several months some people have called for us to build a reserve of bitcoin, if that were to happen all the sudden the target for bitcoin go to 250, 500,000, i've heard some as high as 800,000. do you think that is a legitimate possibility that we build a reserve of bitcoin? >> it is a possibility. i think the better implementation that is a stockpile. there is a lot of precedent for stockpile of commodity in stockpile is different from reserve because not explicitly backing the dollar theoretically a stockpile could move but that's not the purpose of it you creating a stockpile. if the u.s. were to announce that extremely high prices and bitcoin are possible i don't think that'll be part of day one agenda but is this serious conversation.

maria: let's talk about earnings and inflation on tap we have the major banks reporting a strong start to the fourth-quarter earnings season, bank of america morgan stanley out this money. what are your expectation, the stock did really well given the expectation on 2025. that is where i think investors will be watching and what are these guys say about the year. >> 2024 was a positive year with investment banking and trading strong but what matters is looking forward, the deregulation agenda one of the most important is deregulation with regards to crypto. right now if you crypto has to come as a liability. that is expected to be part of the day one things that trump gets rid of with deregulating crypto and that represent a very bullish tailwinds for the banking sector as a whole as well as other deregulation's. maria: we will see what the namesake today. it is been a good market performance for the banks.

we will see what morgan stanley comes up with. >> the being so superstrong that the deregulation via trump policies. certainly we want to keep a focus on the strength of the consumer. obviously that is one of the big things as we talk about whether or not the trump tax cut gets extended might take if it's not done by mid july or before back-to-school season kicks in you will see consumer pullback quite a bit. maria: here is does shaving and the risks to the bolus dollar view in the company between the trump and fed could appear sooner than expected given upside risk to inflation and inflation has been an issue is not where the fed wants it to be. deutsche bank is worried about that in the account deficits in our view the single most important variable in determining trump policy suc success, they are struggling as far as the debt ceiling which is going to happen at some point. >> we are seeing the push and pull on the debt ceiling in the house and the senate and if there is any uncertainty with

what trump wants to do and his nominees, will they be able to get into the house and the senate and will they be able to agree to your point what is the time going to look like. we are seeing the uncertainty play itself out. if it does not get done in a timely matter and were not seen coalescing around the certainty timeline then i think we will start to see shakiness. maria: we will take a break, we have to get your take on the fox news poll trump is more popular today than he ever has been look at your morning mover taiwan semiconductor of 5% a double be on fourth-quarter earnings, tsmc net income hit a record of 57% from a year ago due to the a.i. boom the computing division driving sales last quarter contributing to 53% on the overall revenue, the copy could face challenges this year from the restrictions on advanced semiconductor to china but the stock is up 104% in the last year, stay with us. we'll be right back.

republicans have the votes to confirm those 2m trump's nominees? >> i believe we have the votes for all of trump nominee. the people voted for radical change with president trump and that's what we have with the nominees they are strong and clear and when he saw pete hegseth under relentless attack from the democrats. some became unhinged. it shows that they did not get the message on november 5 but pete was clear he is an impressive individual at a decorated combat veteran and he loves his family and his wife is behind him. you look at sean duffy, clear, focused and nosy emergency is so important to western north carolina and rebuilding the roads and bridges and infrastructure, these people are focused and actually going to do with the american people want us to do and they want president trump to do. maria: earlier this week you posted on x of dozens of western north carolina still displaced by hurricane helene they were kicked out of the hotels even

after fema extended the transitional housing shelter program in january 5 new contacted fema leadership to identify the issues and get people back at hotels, tell us more about this. >> were working around the clock, january 11 in the middle of a snowstorm they were getting kicked out and they were getting kicked up by the temporary shelters, this is ridiculous we got extended and we extended again into the trap of administration generate 25th but they were still getting kicked out number one thing with fema is completely unclear, these people are going to be okay if we get them what would they need and a short-term housing but you cannot kick them out in the middle of a snowstorm, this is absolutely ridiculous, president trump it is nominees cannot get here fast enough i have fema on the line late at night and we went line by line which hotel which road, which address what's their cell phone and i was having them call and get them back into hotels late at night. they shouldn't of had to go to this common nonetheless were willing to work with them,

contact us if you know 70 that is having trouble at senate.gov, get on the phone, let us know but the individual cases we want to get them the shelter that they need. >> i was so interested on your take on the different treatment that your district is getting in california, nothing against the people in california are going through what they're going through but the amount of attention that they have gone, the federal support that they have gotten seems to be a contrast, what you're talking about these people can stay in hotel rooms in the amount of attention that you've gotten, let's talk about the broken system of fema and what we need to do to better support your community going forward can you talk at all about the different treatment there seems to be in different districts. >> my heart breaks for these individuals in california, individuals one or 2 degrees away have to vacate their homes my heart has been broken for them but you think about the

politicization of the biden of administration and he's committed on his way out the door to dump billions of billions of dollars into something he won't be around to administer and he comes into support western north carolina is like pulling teeth to get his support there lack of clarity from fema in telling people one thing and kick them on the middle of a snowstorm these people what his voters but they certainly are in california and they accumulated decades and decades about leadership that has led to something that could be controlled but you can't control hurricane and western north carolina, he cannot control hurricane that dumps up to 40 inches of rain in the mountains, is absolutely different. one could've been prevented with good government, one could not. we're going to get north carolina back on track and hopefully carolina will as well no realize a lesson about leadership over and over at a local in the state level. maria: as biden is walking out the door he has a new ideas

putting 625 million acres off-limits for oil drilling, is he making these decisions, who is making these decisions to make the changes in the 11th hour as he's walking out the door. >> we know instantly what the him he's been in charge of last four years but we haven't seen that to be true, he collected a lot of individuals that are incompetent or have completely bad ideas in there just hurting the american people, they're out of touch. overwhelmingly a popular vote electoral vote, donald trump won he brought in great nominees, we cannot key here fast enough. monday at noon cannot get here fast enough and we have to get the nominees confirmed they will get confirmed, the great nominees in here to shake things up and boy do we need to. maria: senator good to see you. we are breaking news, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is accusing hamas of walking back parts of the cease-fire deal, we are live in

into effect on sunday, we know of that was scheduled to take place in the israeli cabinet to ratify the deal followed by a 48 hour period that would allow for objection in the israeli supreme court. diplomatic conversations are continued at a high level urging stability in the agreement statement released by the prime ministers office overnight said prime minister benjamin netanyahu spoke this evening with president-elect trump and thanked him for his assistance in advancing the release of the hostages and helping israel bring it into the suffering of dozens of hostages in their families instead of gaza palestinian civilians welcomed the agreement after living through within 15 months. >> last nights atmosphere was filled with joy everyone was happy. everyone was looking forward to this for nearly a year, thank god he sent us this in the people rejoiced. >> the celebration in gaza and israel may have come a bit too early given the fact that right

now there is no deal being signed the office is adamant they will stick to their guns on the specific issues but remember there are key domestic pressures from israeli prime minister from the finance minister who is threatening to leave the government if this deal moves forward. >> thank you, joining us now the executive director thank you for being here, what is your reaction to the new development we are waiting on more details. if the deal goes through, the cease-fire. >> it is the middle east, the bizarre and the base that they're fighting until the last moment. in the deadline the president trump has put in we can expect thomas in the end will go ahead with the deal this is a last-minute bargaining. maria: i'm glad you mention president trump, the president-elect posted this on to social the epic cease-fire

agreement could've only happened as a result of our historic victory in november, the national security team through the efforts of special envoy to the middle east steve wycoff will continue to work closely with israel and her allies to make sure gaza never becomes a terrorist safe haven, the times of israel reported that arab officials say he swayed benjamin netanyahu more in one meeting the body did all year but incoming white house press secretary karoline leavitt writes this period let's be clear this deal would not of been struck without the forceful hand the president trump and a special envoy steve wycoff, peace through strength prevails even biden state department present trump team for the efforts although joe biden was reluctant to do so. watch this. >> the cease-fire agreement was a long time in the making and comes as a result of extensive diplomatic engagements by president biden, secretary blinken, national security advisor jake sullivan, director of central intelligence william burns, brent mcgirt and other officials across the government.

as wells are partners in the government of qatar and egypt. it comes to the involvement of president-elect trump team is absolutely critical in getting this deal over the line. >> who has credit for this you or trump. >> is that a joke? >> thank you. >> is not a joke he said, how much did trump is teems with the negotiation. i know joe biden has been asking for a cease-fire for year, what do you think, how did this happen now? >> i think both administrations and outgoing and incoming get credit, the details were not developed over many months, the pressure in the urgency is incoming a administration. the biden team can get credit for working on the details but the urgency that president trump put in his announcement that all hell would break loose if the deal was not done by next week and him sending a special envoy to the region putting pressure on everyone i think urgency is

what clinched the deal and i think this needs to be welcomed with a mix of relief heartache and outrage, relief that finally after 466 days some hostages will begin to be released in the next few weeks we are expecting 33 hostages so far that is a relief, the heartache is knowing that dozens have been killed and died in the past year plus in the torture chamber of hamas and gaza in the idea that many of the hostages will not be released in the initial phase in the opening up of the wound of what they suffer, the torture, the horrific abuse and the outrage of what hamas did on october 7, the massacre of entire families horrific unspeakable atrocities in the support the hamas won in campuses and other quarters of the elites across america and around the world.

maria: president biden says thanks to him terrorism threats in gaza have been significantly diminished, watch this. >> now the network the ones protected and sustained hamas is far weaker. iran is weaker iran is weaker that it's been in decades. hezbollah is badly degraded. after more than 15 months hamas is senior leader instead thousands of hamas fighters are dead in the military formation have been destroyed. maria: so many questions. i don't think iran has weakened they had an opportunity to generate billions of millions of oil revenue and sell it to china. this administration, the biden a administration, blew off the sanctions. i want to get your take on this deal as well, who is in charge of gaza now, what is next for the region and why is it that so many of the hostages, 33 hostages will be released in the first phase, dozens alive and dead will remain in gaza.

it seems the initial phase of the deal, one is really for 50 palestinians in one frame and one is really for 30 palestinians, what you make of the deal. >> hamas leaders have been declaring victory in the past day, deputy chief said this was a victory that would be a source of pride for generations. and he said it was a turning point in history for the palestinians and this is absurd. an engine indeed it is true, whether biden can claim credit. there is key points he told israel to hold back whether it was the war in lebanon and entering rafah and he did supply arms to israel for the most part but there's no question has below has been crushed in that forced lebanon to demand a cease-fire and a new leadership and syria the regime as a result

of iran and hezbollah weekend. the regime fell and is no more. iran is weakened. and what he said about oil that is an outrage, but their defense was significantly destroyed and they a vulnerable. never before in history has a side claim to suffer genocide at the same time that they declare victory in the war and massacre that they started. maria: iran may be weakened as a result of israel's aggressiveness despite biden's guidance, biden kept telling them and this, cease-fire now don't go into rafah. israel blew that off and did it and there was a weakening of iranian leadership and proxies as a result of that. we are watching this closely and we want to see whether or not

this actually sticks. thank you, we want to get to the breaking news on earnings, bank of america numbers at the table. >> double beat, good morning to you, 82 cents a share the street was looking for 77 cents they came in at 25.35 billion on revenue the street was looking for 25.19 billion the last month ceo brian moynihan had said net interest income will come in at 14-point to 7 billion and actually came in 14.4 billion. he also said they were looking at 25% jump in investment banking revenue, the actual number is 44%. for b of a, will begin on more details for the targets for the year and what that means for potential sudden moves. i will say the 1.5 billion for credit loss is a little bit less than what the street was expecting. good news for bfa. last night they announced a half a million dollars go into a fund created by the l.a. chamber of
