when you work with someone who knows a lot and cares even more... you're unstoppable. at truist, we believe the same is true for banking. i've got a lot going on right now. let's focus. what are your top priorities? ♪

david: not bad. good morning, i'm david asman and for stuart varney. it's 10:00 eastern time. together to your money, we have that inflation gauge coming out, the producer price index, the cpi shocked the hell out of folks particularly investors into markets were way down, today markets are in the green even though ppi was worse than expected, dollars and 59 points, s&p up 15, nasdaq up about half of a percentage point, the 10 year treasury went way up. i think it was up 13 basis points at one point, now it is down a little. it is recovering some of its momentum, upward momentum going down a bit now, bitcoin, there's crude oil, up to 70 one dollars but that down 's down a tick, $0.28, $71 a barrel in bitcoin is down $2,000 right

now to 95,791 per coin. brian brenberg joins me now. let's get right into it, the difference between what is happening among the democrats and what happening among the republican party led by donald trump. some people say it's the production, productive activity of the administration compared to all performative by the democrats. brian: you need democrat singing songs about putting elon musk in jail versus elon musk creating a website that tracks every single spending initiative they say is wasteful and why and how much it is. is that the difference you are talking about. republicans are treating americans like they have brains and democrats are treating him like they are kindergartners at story time and i think americans will respond to people who treat them like they have brains and that's the difference in this program right now.

trump, musk putting data and evidence on the table and inviting people to think and democrats said don't think, don't walk, don't consider, just belt out -- david: they are shooting themselves in the foot because they forget what won the last election. it was donald trump and his policies but also the fact that they wanted change, americans wanted change and even people who voted for the democrats are moving in the direction of donald trump. aren't democrats going to start to work with the administration? brian: they are not forgetting it but denying, they don't want it to be the case that americans wanted major reform but their message list and leader list, look who is on the stage. is there anybody in america who called on schumer and maxine waters? yesterday's yesterday of the democratic party, nobody to lead them.

david: the great than about donald trump from a political dispersed, not only does he provide substantive things with executive orders and he what he wants to do but knows how to produce a good performance. he did that when he signed that executive order to keep boys out of girls locker rooms, a beautifully produced -- brian: what he does has an organic authenticity to it. he is enjoying it and look people around him are enjoying it. when you watch the cringe fest on the left, totally different and anybody who looks at it says these people are crazy. they are not into this, they are just crazy. david: attorney general pam bondi vowing to fight back against judges who block trump's anticorruption agenda. watch. >> we have so many unelected judges who are trying to control government spending and there's a clear separation of powers.

people work their whole lives and pay taxes yet they find out they've been giving $2 million to guatemala for sex changes, it is outrageous and it is going to stop. we are going to fight back not only with usaid and these other agencies but this is happening every day, doj we are prepared to defend all of these cases and we will carry out donald trump's agenda. david: over the past 24 hours trump has a couple wins but this lawfair must be slowing down, he is got to divert some of his time and energy and staff to fighting these things. we are seeing it once again. >> he is moving pretty fast and here's the long-term benefit, they sue the administration for everything. he's got pam bondi in charge. i put her up against anybody that the left wants to bring in and when they win like they are already winning, it sets the

precedent they need so this is not about the next four months. it's about the next 40 years. they go to court on every one of these things and they win and for went and for the next 40 years they have got a legal basis to keep up what they started so i say bring on the legal fight, let's create a permanent victory. david: this will set precedent for the future. great stuff. thank you, we will be watching on "the big money show" every weekday from 12:00 to 2:00 pm eastern time on fox business. don't miss the markets right now, the dow and the s&p and the nasdaq are all in green territory so they have absorbed and adjusted the bad news from the ppp with inflation going up. daniel newman joins me now. tell us about deep seek and the fear of that things spreading but a couple weeks ago people thought of this was not the end of nvidia's rain, what do you say?

>> we had these sunday selloffs where it feels like the world is ending and nvidia's run is over and nobody is going to be spending big on ai and then everybody takes a breath, digest and realize it's possible for two things to be true at once. we need to create a scale with ai, lower the cost and lower the energy usage which is something we did learn despite the fact a lot of the metrics and costs communicated to us were not accurate. the continued build out to lead the world's technology innovation and make sure the west does so in a i and build out and deliver ai that scales more graft beyond a handful of companies that benefit is important so i think the moment was a good reflection opportunity for the market but i think those that understand what's really going on will see that nvidia and many other companies have a long way to run on the promise of ai.

david: meta and toes law, a lot of interest inside the beltway on tesla. >> reporter: when it comes to matter that company has become the ultimate customer 0, the most consequent a company of our time, 3. 3 billion daily users of one of its applications, building out a hyperscale business model that can make money on ai and the way we saw the other cloud companies struggle on earnings, tesla is an incredible cult of investors that believe in its long-term but you see this great volatility, people don't know whether to evaluate it as a car company which is evaluated very highly or a company that will deliver the future of ai and humanoid robots. if that's the case you see why people are so long on it but that volatility is not for the faint of heart. i like meta a lot and if you are long enough and see the future, tesla is still a company to get excited about.

david: it is up tremendously today, up 4.5%. our investors worried that he on might get diverted from doghe? >> the world knows the work elon musk is doing his prickle, we have to bring down inflation, that comes first and foremost through cutting unnecessary spending one of those things a lot of people are having hard time digesting. people that know what's going on no we can't cut costs fast enough in the work he is doing is important. david: let's look at this. neil: we are planning to make an upgraded version of the ai chat bot because they are looking to fight back against ali baba who partnered with iphones in china and deep seek, shares up 4.7%. lauren: down on the forecast, their full year revenue below expectations down 11%,

>> rein in this rogue actor. >> the gentle lady's time has expired. david: your response. >> the congresswoman had actual information and proof of that something was being done inappropriately she would have brought it to the committee. obviously she does not. what she did want to do was to have her 15 minutes of fame and to have a show and make accusations. what we do know is doge is rooting out many of these pockets of inappropriate spending. we know since 2004, $2.7 trillion in improper payments have been made and they are revealing this, they've looked at the taxpayer as their atm. they have spent, they have put things on the federal debt

line, that is why we have $36 trillion in debt and now that that is coming to a end they are livid, they've used this, and now the american taxpayer has said we had enough. we are overtax, government is overspent, time to straighten this out. david: the question of kickbacks, where there there have been and we have to save that for the next time we have you on. thank you for being here. congresswoman alexandria ocasio cortez communicated a seminar offering tips to avoid ice agents in her district. how did that go? >> i don't know if people expect the congresswoman to show up for her own office's webinar but apparently she didn't. instead it was other folks offering advice to illegal

>> specifically to debank certain industries. that the point i am making that we have to solve. it is legal in america to do business, we should do our part. >> reporter: the commitment scott got from powell in that hearing. >> it is fair to take a fresh look on debanking. we don't do these things that regulation leads things to happen and we need to work on that. >> reporter: this hearing with the big bank ceos is happening behind closed doors which may be we will get reaction from senators on their way out. maybe we will get reaction from ceos but this is a priority for republicans, they control the senate and the house so they have ceos on a lot. david: donald trump took the bull by the horns going after moynahan the bank of america chief.

lower deficits in the future, more output, more employment and better distribution of income than -- david: if you have more incentive to produce more things, more things, the prices come down. it lowers inflation. >> of course it does. what you see, inflation numbers yesterday, that's the end of the biden era. what trump will do with deregulation, tax rate reductions, spending restraint of doge, you will see us output increasing which means the price of each unit will be coming down, the rate of increase will be coming down substantially. i expect trump to be successful over the next four years on bringing inflation down. larry summers is quite correct that this is a high number and you got to worry about deficits and this other stuff, totally correct on that and trump is

the guy who will solve it in ways larry summers will like him. david: another subject quickly. at one:00 today donald trump will hold a press conference on reciprocal tariffs from the oval office, what do you make of reciprocal tariffs, you tariff me 10% and i will give you 10% right back at you. >> of all the major trading partners we have, the other people tariff our products more country by country than we do to their tariffs. we are the low tariff big country of the world and they are higher tariffs than ours. reciprocal means the us raises tariffs relative to their tariffs or what is really going to happen is they will negotiate much lower tariffs they have on us and they will come down to our level. this is what donald trump did in his first term. the usmca, the south korean deal.

all of those were improvements in free-trade. the way i read donald trump, goodness knows he has his own person but the way i read donald trump, this will mean lower tariffs for the world as a whole which is wonderful, pro-production and pro output and these other countries will cut their tariffs to match hours. david: real free-trade benefits everybody but it has to be real free-trade. good to see you. art laffer who lives in a state where there is no state income tax. great to see you. still ahead. doge is trying to protect tracks dollars but democrats forcing americans to pay for a $20 million commission to study reparations. does the left have misguided priorities, that's coming up. the push to undo biden era rules.
