david: rambling man i think the best the almond brothers ever did. there's a lot to choose from a but a great song for start with on a snowy morning in new york, didn't get as much as we thought we would but we are getting through it. i'm david asman in for stuart varney, 10:00 eastern time. all about the inflation number that came out harder than expected. the core rate was much higher. all rates were higher than people thought, the market went down, down down premarket below 400. it has come back a little bit. it still down 367. s&p is down 40, nasdaq is down 110 points to the downside. that was over a 1% loss. now it is half of one% loss but look at the 10-year treasury. that got worse if you look at it from holding bonds, the

yield is up 12. 7 basis points, 10 years 4.65% rate now. big big jump in the 10 year yield. meanwhile oil prices are going down a little bit which is counter what you would expect from rise in inflation. oil prices at $72 a barrel, the price of bitcoin is gone down $1000, not 95,318. eddie ghabour joins me now. let's look at the 10 year again, that's a huge jump. how does that affect investors? >> you will see in verse reaction with yields. it is fine as long as the tenure doesn't get the 475. i do think ultimately we are going to hit 5% on a 10 year sometime by summertime because

i think inflation is going to accelerate and that is why 2025 you have to be very nimble, have to navigate an air pocket where you hit the 5% range, you could see a sizable drop in the s&p and we would won't be in the way of that so the fed put themselves in a tough spot, the trump administration inherited a dumpster fire with inflation so it's going to be a lot of volatility but i think month of february we will still be a buy the dip month. this isn't the moment we need to be getting out of market. david: i want to switch to ai, deep seek selloff a couple weeks ago when the ai stock start plummeting, you were buying, what were you buying? >> you see the massive vic's spikes that usually a gift and a. trend market, we bought across the bard. we got to about a 6% position we were not planning on nvidia for clients but down 17% is hard to pass up. we did add to that.

discretionary names we had as well. david: gold despite the high inflation numbers is trading down a little right now. would you buying into gold? that's if you don't want to hold the gold itself. is it time to buy? >> we have 10% position for our strategies. i would buy dips. it's a matter of time before people wear their 3,000 hats. david: thank you very much, appreciate it. let's start with home depot. lauren: the interest rate sensitive stocks on the heels of the inflation report for the month of january. the threat of potential tariffs from china hurting them. the online real estate platform is up 13%, first core revenue outlook short of estimates. david: inflating hitting is

very hard. until. lauren: select $21 a share, that's a 3% gain. vice president j.d. vance is at the ai summit saying the us is leading artificial intelligence and he wants to work, intel as a contractor. david: thank you very much. donald trump's latest exec in order places doge in charge of federal downsizing. it is looking into the extensive salary of government officials that popped. >> would you find it rather odd there are quite a few people in bureaucracy who have ostensibly a salary of a few hundred thousand dollars but managed to accrue tens of millions of dollars in net worth while they are in that position? which is what happened at usaid, curious where it came from.

why? where did it come from? the reality is they are going to be at taxpayer expense in. that's the honest truth. david: is it worth looking into this? all sorts of conspiracy theories about how people like the head of aid got this money during the course of her being head of it but it is a little suspicious, no? >> i just hope that elon musk has a really top or security detail because he is uncovering all kinds of worms under those rocks but you do have to wonder. he actually went after elizabeth warren saying she's worth $12 million, how did she get that money? i think he is poking good so many bears, the important thing is this. one of the things that came out last night's they are going to look at every federal agency to

see which ones have not specifically been authorized by congress because if they have been authorized that's more difficult to get rid of them but i was going through this morning, over 400 federal agencies. a great many of which you've never heard of. i never heard of. my guess is they are not doing very much at all. i have to say i think all of this is brilliant, i find it very cheering that someone is taking a hard look at where our government money is going and honestly the fact that democrats are reflexively opposed to everything donald trump and elon musk are doing is unbelievable to me. david: they are defending the indefensible, defending fraud and waste in the government, our money. i think the inflation report is going to strengthen doge's and immeasurably because right now more than ever we need to cut back the expenses of the government, that causes inflation. i want to move on because we have a very important day

coming up tomorrow, for out -- the house freedom caucus releases its own plan for achieving some of the top tax priorities and the question is whether or not some of those reluctant republicans from blue states who are reluctant to have the tax increases immediately put in are convinced by what we see. what will come from this report? >> i think scott bessent said it exactly right. this is essential. there is no, this is a win/lose situation. we either get a bill done in the house or the senate and frankly at this point donald trump made clear he still doesn't care wearable comes from. if it is in the house, if they want this big beautiful bill you are going to have to get blue state republicans and also the conservative caucus to come together. it is really hard. i get that but there is no room

for failure here otherwise we end up with a $3 trillion tax hike on the american people, something kamala harris ran on and could well have been one of the reasons she lost. that is unacceptable. they have got to get this done. who cares how it happens? the less this is in the public eye the better frankly because we don't want to give all these people microphone but blue state republicans. i live in a blue state, we live in new york, i would love to see an increase in the salt deduction and i get it that some of these people running for congress in states like new york need to give their constituents something. david: i am a new yorker. i pay more for being in new york. what i want is our local leaders to lower the tax rate in new york, new york city and new york state. that's the point. that's what makes texans and

floridians so angry, they don't want to have to pay for our bad leadership in new york and california. >> it is not part of their vocabulary. in new york, they have one mantra, raise taxes, spend more, purchase votes, that's all they do. i agree with you, i don't think it is going to happen. david: if we continue to pay the cost we will change our leadership get lower tax rates. that's a thought anyway we should consider. good to see you. thank you very much, appreciate it. open ai's ceo sam altman spoke at the ai actions summit in paris. grady trimble, what did he have to say? >> he says open ai is not for sale so this started as so much news seems to start these days with elon musk, he made a surprise bid for the ai nonprofit on monday offering just under one hundred billion dollars which is far less than its valuation as part of open ai's latest funding round.

altman responded to that offer at the summit rejecting it also praised vice president vance who attended and spoke at the same summit for encouraging american ai -- >> is open ai for sale? >> no. open ai has a mission. we are an unusual organization and we have a mission of benefiting all of humanity. we are here to do that. we are not for sale. vice president vance said things that i liked about one of them, the scale of economic opportunity, lightning in a bottle, i think it is this moment, a great phrase. david: we will have a little more from vance later on. to back things up a little bit musk helped found open ai and says he wants to return it to its nonprofit roots with safety at the core mission. musk is a competitor because he owns x, ai, the two famously

had a falling out. a lot of bad blood between the 2 of them. another hostage expected to be released today. the news coming hours after a schoolteacher was released from russian captivity for three years. >> i feel like the luckiest man on earth right now, donald trump is a hero, these men that came from the diplomatic service our heroes. david: we bring more on his emotional return home. pete hegseth at nato headquarters today. we will tell you about sharing the defense burden with our european allies. things are looking a lot different.

david: the inflation number we got earlier, dow is down 396, the s&p down 46, nasdaq down one hundred 37 again. the inflation number was a lot worse than we expected. we are following that. now this. today, peter hegseth is going to be visiting nato headquarters in belgium putting a lot of pressure on european allies over support for ukraine. they should kick in more. lucas tomlinson joins me from belgium. what is pete hegseth saying

today, what is he asking for? >> reporter: good afternoon from brussels. a stern message at nato headquarters. pete hegseth arriving through the first time telling europeans they need to step up and spend more and take a leading role in defending their own country. but the united states will no longer tolerate an imbalanced relationship between current -- which encourages dependency. >> reporter: the tone was set earlier when pete hegseth fired off of this tweet. our commitment is clear nato must be stronger, more lethal force, not a diplomatic club. you see what he meant. time for allies to meet, the moment there was an unscheduled meeting, hegseth meeting with

ukraine's defense minister likely talking about the $4 billion committed to ukraine and after that will continue. these remarks, unrealistic objective for ukraine to recapture 20% of this country seized by russian forces, the us does not support ukraine joining nato. >> any security guarantee must be backed by capable european and non-european troops. of these troops are deployed as peacekeepers to ukraine at any point they should be deployed as part of a non-nato mission and should not be covered under article 5. >> reporter: translation, article 5 d first to the nato charter, attack on one is an attack on all. hegseth emphasizing any peacekeepers deployed in ukraine would not be offered nato protection was a conversation he likely had with his british and german counterparts. hegseth said folks at the pentagon should beat china in

the southern border and peacekeepers, ukraine's president volodymyr zelenskyy, any peacekeepers not involving american forces won't be successful but the pentagon has estimated of peacekeepers where necessary, would fire 100,000 american troops. hegseth said us troops are going into ukraine. david: this is an order. muscles, fries and beer before you leave brussels. now this, donald trump secured the relief of mark vogel, an american teacher imprisoned in russia since 2021. former russia cia chief george beebe jointly now. what do you think putin gave up for this release? >> reporter: it is not clear yet what russia got in exchange for his release but what vladimir putin had in mind was aiming for an improved overall us/russian relationship.

when secretary of state marco rubio had his confirmation hearings he asked loosely said improved washed us/russian relations would not be possible unless the kremlin were willing to release mark vogel. the fact they've done so now and the fact they have not publicized who they got an exchange is a strong signal that the russians are looking for a breakthrough in us/russian relationship. david: one thing vladimir putin is suggesting, not sure if it came direct the from vladimir putin, suggesting relations between dc and moscow are on the brink of collapse. i didn't know there were relations between russia and the united states right now but what is that about? are people kind of making their first move in a long chess game? >> we are in a period of negotiations with the russians, the europeans, the ukrainians. go over ending the war in ukraine and putting europe on a path to broader stability.

the countries involved in all this are going to be making public statements trying to carve out negotiating room in all this. what the markings -- what the russians have in mind is they want a settlement of the ukraine war but they believe that settlement has to include recognition from the united states and nato that ukraine is not going to be a member of the nato alliance. the fact that pete hegseth said that won't happen in brussels today i think tells me that we have a real prospect for you deal with the russians in the war. david: leading to the final question, do you think we have a peace deal by the end of this year? >> yes i do. david: you know your stuff. appreciate it. vice president j.d. vance delivered his first speech on the world stage at the ai summit in paris. what message does he have about american-made tech?

>> to win the uis ai race, he needs, the us needs europe to back off on regulation they seem to like. >> we believe excessive regulation of the sector could color transform of industry just as it is taking off. we will make every effort to encourage progrowth ai policies. we also watched as hostile foreign adversaries weapon iced ai software to rewrite history, surveilled users and sensor speech. this administration will block such efforts. . the united states of america is the leader in ai and are administration plans to keep it that way. >> reporter: you didn't hear advancement in china by name but you can read between the lines. is warning of the west doesn't step it up with ai innovation and chipsmaking, gives china the upper hand. he made these comments, hosted

by france and india, his first big speech on the world stage as vice president, there might be some buying in from europe based on feedback from other folks who are there including french president emmanuel macron who was signaling at the same summit he things lighter regulation will fuel an artificial intelligence boom which will likely help the us as well. david: the trump affect worldwide, people are changing all over. government efficiency, meet government transparency. musk and trump making sure taxpayers are no longer in the dark. listen. >> examination of social security, 150 years old. anyone who is 150? i don't know. brian: the first dogesop committee hearing is happening in congress come a the consumer price index coming in harder than expected, jumping 0. 5% in january putting the annual inflation rate at 3%.

at 3%. is this the fallout of bidenomics spending? the last gasp of bidenomics? that is next.

david: checking the markets, they found the bottom in the 400 range for the dow jones, the dow was down 370, the s&p, 37, nasdaq 84. all the indices are down because of the inflation report showing inflation is hotter than expected, that's affecting rates tremendously. the 10 year rate is way up, a big daily jump of 13 basis points, the yield for the 10 year is 4. 66, rounds out to be. that is a big jump in yields lose a lot of investors saying it could go over 5% before this rise in yields is done. looking at some big movers starting with upstart. lauren: it is a winner on a down day, ai lending company connects the sumer with the lender. first quarter revenue, they expected to be $200 million, higher-than-expected.

beginning a pair of upgrades, stock is going to $105 a share. david: what is happening? lauren: another ai player, shares have doubled in the past year, getting punished to the tune of not bad guidance but conservative guidance. when you talk about ai -- david: what about gilead? lauren: they forecast stronger annual earnings, the oncology pipeline, it is going to one hundred 20 a share. david: happening now on capitol hill, dogesop committee holding its first-ever hearing. aishah hasnie joining the live. we affect drama from the democrats. what to do we hear today in the room?

>> reporter: they are going through opening statements but these democrats are going to bring the drama that includes texas congressman jazmine crockett. she's in the hearing room and multiple outlets demanded this hearing is a bleep show, you fill-in the blank and doga as she puts it is the devil. the top democrat on this committee is saying they are going to battle with republicans because of the taxpayer in democracy. so congressman crockett has a history of exchanging insults with marjorie taylor greene, this is what mtd told us when we asked how she's going to maintain order today. we don't have any sound but

keep listening in. we will keep listening in and and bring you the latest headlines from this hearing but we are told this is going to be something to watch as democrats try to battle republicans over doge. david: let's turn to the inflation report. it came in harder than expected, dumping 4.5% in january. much more than 5. 3%, annual inflation rate is 3%. the core rate is at 3.3%, a lot more than 3.1% expected. brian belsky, i have to ask the cause of this. i am thinking a lot of it has to do with all of those billions of dollars the biden administration was pouring out before they left office. am i wrong? >> you are not wrong, thanks for having us. investors have to remember three things.

we are looking at yesterday's numbers not going forward. cpi is not the preferred measure but as a data point they look at, pce the key thing and much has been made with respect to the seasonality, cpi usually in the first quarter is up. the measures going forward in terms of the commodity side and oil prices. if we are going to increase more supply on western texas intermediate oil fuel prices will be going down. that's another big part. if you take two step back and look at what we are spending money on, never discount the us consumer. we love to spend money and if you look at travel was up again in january, this type of spending money is going to continue. the supply demand of throwing so much money at things which

was your question is the root of this problem. it will probably take longer than everybody thinks. i believe this overreaction is yet again part of what we believe is too much macro fascination in terms of these data points and ultimately leading to a buying opportunity in stocks. david: it strengthens two hands of the trump administration. doge, if you ever have cause for lowering the cost of government, this inflation report is at and for the tax cuts, extending those tax cuts, this gives more and you nation with the extra pressure on companies to deal with this inflation number you got to lower the cost of taxation. >> the biggest thing people are missing in this is with respect to when you look at an asset, when you look at a company, you

want to look at how that company is operating, you look at earnings growth, valuation, you look at performance of the company in terms of price, three of the four things we look at in terms of our process, looking at market sectors and stocks but the third party in terms of the operating performance of the company. all doge is looking at is the operating performance of the federal government, debt to equity, free cash flow, return on invested capital, return on equity, that is the part that is cleaned up and certain parts of the country, and companies by the way, that the best signals are when return on equity and operating performance begins to improve and what we see likely going forward the next couple years is the operating performance of the us government will be a lot better. david: we also at least for the

next couple months will see rising interest rates, very quickly, how much of a problem is that for investments? >> it is a problem because there is too much focus on fed funds futures. the big thing is earnings, p/e ratios. earnings going up dramatically and that is going to send the pe down. david: appreciate it. the new york stock exchange announcing it will launch a new exchange in texas. it will be a fully electronic equities exchange headquarters in dallas. nyse chicago will reincorporate in texas, the president of the nyse group called texas, quote, a market leader fostering a pro-business atmosphere and they play a key role in driving us economy forward. the senate is set to vote on

you know. checking of our markets, hurt badly by that inflation report but recovering a bit. the dow jones was down 400, now is down 275, s&p down 24, nasdaq has recovered quite a bit. it was down 200 and is now down. lawmakers demanding information from the acting faa director, his plans on how to keep people safe after the deadly plane collision in washington dc. they are sounding the alarm about doge. >> could have democratic lawmakers including mark warner and tim kane who were present virginia where reagan national airport is an they are worried elon musk and doge will make flying in the us less safe. in that letter they sent to the acting faa administrator they write while we applaud faa for early actions taken to bolster safety, recent actions indicate your agency is inviting inexperienced individuals with

intense partisan leanings into a process that should be objective and expert driven. you saw they were praising the faa and sean duffy for restricting helicopters from flying over the potomac near the airport but they say they want assurances that the faa will consult with experts in aviation to come up with recommendations after that midair collision in dc a couple weeks ago. sean duffy hasn't responded directly to this letter but in response to concerns that doge will jeopardize air travel safety he points out that doge isn't just about cost cutting but making systems including aviation more efficient and effective. >> i went to elon musk and said i want you to help me build. what are the best ideas from the engineers elon musk has access to but also on the hill, come to gather, air traffic

money, ramp-up personnel across agencies that deal with immigration and border, they want to expand detention capacity, reinstitute remain in mexico, build more of the border wall and to deport migrants and much much more. senate budget committee chair lindsey graham has fact in votes one hundred $75 billion ask as part of the spending bill slated to go through that committee this week. david: thank you very much. who else is sounding the alarm on border funding? lauren: christine on, pete hegseth and the attorney general pam bondi wrote a letter to appropriators in the house and senate saying we need more money to secure the border and carry out deportations. they want the request in before the spending bill deadline. new cabinet members say they -- law enforcement at the border, the immigration judges, to actually finish building the

wall but congress needs to figure out how to push through these requests. david: still had, trump is bringing total transparency, complete reversal from the last four years. >> i'm not going to answer afghanistan. >> in particular -- >> i'm supposed to leave. david: what a difference. unbelievable, day and night. staffing shortage, they are paid less than their subordinates are. with all that money going to illegal migrants why can't a they get more. we will ask former ny police department inspector paul morrow about that next. ♪

david: they pared their losses quite a bit since the early morning news about inflation when the dow is down 400.

the s&p is down 29, nasdaq is down 71. the number plummeted since donald trump, bill melugin gives us the numbers. >> reporter: one of the biggest tests of border security is how many illegal aliens are sneaking into the country without apprehension. a population known as got aways. the number of got aways plummeting during trump's first weeks in office. senior dhs source tells fox news since february 1st the average number daily of recorded got aways at the southern border, 132 per day, 93% drop since the all-time highs during the biden administration in fiscal year 2023, when the average got aways were 1800 every single day. the steep drop in got aways and just the trump administration

abstractor approach at the border is having immediate impact with senior dhs official telling fox in part, quote, delivering consequences has results. illegal crossings are down. got aways are down. kernel prosecutions on the rise. turning south answer rending to authorities. policy matters. internal data obtained by fox news reveals julian got aways recorded snaking into the us during the four years of the biden administration with record high 670,000 got aways in fiscal year 2023 alone while the administration was claiming the border was closed and secure. got aways are tracked by cvp, border patrol sees them. they know they are there but unable to apprehend them. dhs officials telus 132 a day

right now is a great start. the numbers lower in the coming months. david: thank you for that report. of our nypd is losing sergeants in droves with officers saying they are getting paid less than their subordinates. newark police department inspector and fox news contributor paul morrow. how is this happening? >> reporter: this is a quirk of contract law. the rub is in the past, a full out effort to repair immediately, the nypd or any police department needs and they take a pay cut to advance their careers is ridiculous. david: i'm also thinking how many billions being spent on illegal migrants during the previous administration must get under their skin as well.

>> cops read the papers like everybody else, aware of the fact that misallocation of funds, their job is being made harder by the fact, they make the residents to pay the taxes safer. instead of going to pay for housing care and feeding for people who never paid into this country. for shelters and as part of organize, and activity. david: with ice on the march even in sanctuary cities like new york, the crime situation, violent illegal migrants walking the streets must be going down in number, must make a little easier for the police. >> you see less on the street though it is tough to use that metric because right now, very cold winter in new york and as a result you don't see quite as much of it. we will see if the rubber hits the road in this but

undeniably, you see a lowering of the encampments. a lot of stuff denigrates the quality of life in the city, shoplifting, harassment of people in the subway, here of minister the city. what we do know is property crime these days goes unreported at a 65% level depending what metric you use. people see that, locked up behind plastic barriers in drugstores etc. and their perception of the city. david: the difference between administrations, half a million law enforcement personnel urging the senate to confirm kash patel as fbi director, unwavering commitment to the rule of law, it shows the heart of law enforcement. >> police are embedded in the

criminal justice system every day, not only hearing the stuff we are here but dealing with it in the courts, prosecutors et cetera. you see depredations of the prior administration relative to weapon icing doj, the intel agencies sign the laptop for the wall street journal, you see that advertisement that appeared in the wall street journal, they don't want to be part of the criminal justice system that operates that way. david: always a pleasure. thank you for being here. appreciate it. still ahead, martha mccallum on elon musk saying he's not orchestrating a hostile takeover of the government. there are lights darrell ice on benjamin netanyahu warning the israeli/hamas war will resume if the hostages are not freed on saturday. john q on losses that are challenging somebody of trump's actions, can the slow-moving court system keep up with trump's rapid pace. 11:00 hour of "varney and
