elvis on in valentine ice day. it's 11:00 a.m. on the east coast on this friday, friday, february 14th. i'm ashley webster filling in for stu varney. getting to the markets and they've struggled to get any direction since the opening bell, an hour and a half ago. nasdaq composites going with things to think about and not a lot of buying and selling and big tech we like to do every day and these are the often sent in the direction and nvidia and apple are moving higher and apple up 1% and alphabet, microsoft and amazon moving lower earlier and down about 5.6 basis points and falling a bit more down nearly seven basis points and that'll be positive for stocks and gting a whole lot of momentum for that.

take a look at eagle super bowl victory parade kicking off in philadelphia and the confetti is flying and begins at lincoln financial field and making its way to the iconic steps and philadelphia museum of art and going with things by civil vester stallone and as many as a million people coming out for the party and we'll check in for the festivities going for them and eagles mascot leading the way taking in all the glory. now this. democrats are calling out kamala harris for being nonexistent during president trump's second term. listen. >> black people worked hard to get biden into office. we worked hard behind the campaign of kamala.

just because you didn't win the race, kamala harris, we still stood behind you as a leered. where are you? just because you didn't win and have to disappear. where's barack obama? i don't care if he served two terms and wants to retire and go work at hollywood. you planning on running in 2028, we need to hear from you now. we need a serious conversation about the black communities and i support the democrat party. >> some would article that's a good thing for the democrats and what's your take on this? >> that's exactly right, here's the real question and the democrats are complaining that kamala harris going where is she now and going for the second term and why weren't they asking where is kamala harris in the first term. she wasn't there first? what did she achieve, what did

she do? everything she put in charge of turned to total disaster starting of course with the border and she's a complete non-enty coming to delivering this and doing anything and all she seems capable of doing is reading something off of tell prompter and she's now back here in probably didn't even wish her husband a happy valentine's. ashley: all right, moving on from that, steve, lezeldin claiming his team found $20 billion in taxpayer dollars and purposely wasted by the biden administration and listen to this, i'll get your comments. >> a biden epa political appointee and talking about how they were tossing gold bars off the titanic and rushing to get billions of your tax dollars out the door before inauguration day. and gold bars were tax dollars

and tossing them off the titanic meant the biden administration knew they were wasting it. ashley: taxpayer money, a lot of money. >> this is why it's really important. looking at all this, it's incredible scandal being uncovered and we all suspected for years people have been saying where did all our money go. that word waste doesn't really capture it. it's not accidental. it's not some error and ideological nonsense pushed by the left with total control over all aspects of the government

and the bureaucracy for so long, and they're pushing their fringe ideological obsessions instead of the basics of delivering good government in exchange for our taxes and now it's being exposed. ashley: said like a good politician, steve. how close to launching a governor bid in california? >> you're right, i'm strongly considering it and on the road in california all the time and publishing from my policy organization goln together ideas of solving the big problems that faces and launch a policy faced on crime and fighting crime and find that at goldentogether.com and i'm stroly considering it. not too for away but i want to take it seriously. thanksgiving the point. i'd only do it if i believed i could win and actually do what needs to be done to save california.

not too far to go now. ashley: you speak with so many common sense and i hope californians jump on board and all the points you make, steve, are incredibly value and i had we'll foul lon with great interest. steve -- follow with great interest. thank you, steve, and have a great weekend. >> thanks, ash. see you soon. ashley: putting tariffs and buying and selling on hold and they wait to see how this plays out and bring in jonathan hoenig and all right, jonathan, you say the u.s. is falling behind in stock performance. make your picks. >> yeah, not in technology but stock performance in particular, ashley. yeah, look, so far year-to-date, the dow is up by about 4% and nasdaq up by about 2% and dax up

about 13% cpi this is following decades and decades of underperformance and so far this year, the market is telling us that the u.s. is not where you want to be, foreign stocks are outperforming. ashley: i want to get your exotic stock pick of the week. what are you looking at today. >> easy pick to get out of u.s. shares and ixus, ashley, this is a firm that owns non-u.s. stocks and going to get large see mines and all l global stocks and not those based in the if they continue, they'll outperform the s&p 500. ashley: thank you, jonathan.

have a great weekend. appreciate it. last night, tiktok returned to app and will google app stores and state's attorney general pam bondi assured the companies they'd not be prosecuted for supporting the chinese-owned platform. lydia hu joins us now. lydia, why are they doing this now? >> hey there, ash. this tiktok ban included really steep fines for big tech if they continue to work with tiktok, who was $5,000 per user and multiply that out by 170 million users that had tiktok and potentially that's a lot of money. with this reported assurance and going to the big tech face and going to make it available, the app is now back and available for downloads to new users and google declined to comment on the news and apple didn't immediately respond and president trump issued an executive order on the first day in office pausing enforcement by

75 days and tiktok returned to anyone that had the an on their phone and with the return of the tiktok app to app stores and tiktok functioning like it be when the ban went into account. this leaves the question about the on going efforts to find a buyer for tiktok. listen here. >> we have a lot of people interested in tiktok, and i hope to be able to make a deal. social security very popular and we'll have to probably get approval from china. but there's a lot of people interested and i think china will be interested because it's to their benefit too >> trump spoke about possibly further delaying the enforcement of the ban to give more time to find a buyer and suggested the creation of the sovereign wealth fund and

going to purchase tiktok as well and get in on the deal. going with kevin o'leary and youtube star mr. beast getting in on the deal and i'll tell you, finally, ash, the number one free app today in the apple app store: tiktok. enthusiasm going to be available again. ashley: what a soap opera and it's not over yet. lydia, great stuff. thank you. coming up, parents of four young female israeli hostages speaking out about the abuse of their daughter's face at hands of hamas. they were starved, intimidated and threatened and we'll bring you horrific accounts meantime and president trump looking into hamas amid strains of the ceasefire deal. >> a bully is the weakest person and their bull i dids and hamas' bullies and weakest people are

ashley: today, defense secretary pete seg seth wrapped up first trip overseas in poland and met with the president and defense minister there. jennifer griffin is at the defense minister this morning and, jennifer, he turned speech to the defense ministerial and what did he have to say? >> well, ashley, on his first trip abroad and seg tear seg

seth going to a panic and using language for more domestic audience and going to be that which could have been used in leverage and up coming negotiations to the war in ukraine. >> the united states does not believe nato membership for ukraine is a realistic outcome of negotiated settlement. instead, any security guarantee must be backed by capable european and non-european troops. if these troops are deployed as peace keepers to ukraine, they should be deployed as non-nato mission and not covered by article five. >> no u.s. troops sent to ukraine. those remarks rem remarks ill d criticism -- illicitted criticism from roger wicker who

talked about the narrow con fir mission. "hegseth is going to be a great defense secretary, all though he wasn't my choice for the job, but he made a rookie mistake in brussels and walked back some of what he said, but not that line. everybody knows and people in the administration know you don't say before your first meeting what you will agree to and what you won't agree to". an editorial this morning from "the wall street journal" raised spector of appeasement "the initial signs are discouraging he, trump's making concessions to vladamir putin, without anything in run return and informing ukraine after the fact. does mr. trump want to negotiate peace with hon narrow angle that lasts or peace through weakness that rewards the kremlin". treasury secretary scott bessent meeting in kyiv to discuss the critical rare earth minerals and half of those minerals are currently in russian occupied hands. zelensky is slated to meet jd

advance in municipal ick and going to be left out of negotiations and he's not seen a viable plan from the u.s. side. secretary hegseth's final stop in poland, ashley, where the u.s. has 8,000 troops, he praised eastern nato frank member "poland is spending 5% of gdp on defense already, which is a model for the continent". ashley. ashley: jennifer griffin. jennifer, thank you so much as always. now this, hamas is respecting trump's saturday deadline. they're going to release three more hostages tomorrow. jameel jaffer joining me now. jameel, the ceasefire seems fragile and what happen ifs hamas doesn't return the remainder of the hostages still in captivity? >> well, ashley, president trump was very clear about this earlier this week and said "all hell will break loose if hamas

doesn't move forward at a minimum of 300 agreed to and possibly a significant number more in the very near future. ashley: think they take him seriously? seems to me when donald trump says something, people listen. >> well, ashley, he made campaign prosperities along the way and people thought some were not going to be implemented and what you've seen is him implementing campaign promise and campaign promise and threat after let and he'd never propose them and he did exactly that. ashley: he did. i want to get to this issue, 15 democrats signed a letter to president trump urging him to retract his "dangerous comments about proposing that the u.s. take over the gaza strip". they say"we are alarms that an american president would advocate for removal and displacesment of 2 million peop. what did you think of trump's comments

growth indexing for them and troops of the president going to imagine as well. ashley: are we heading towards peace in this part of the world, jameel? >> they need security and the for them largely visceral and the last changes of them going and gog for them to find ame path forward. president trump has a very out of the box idea on the table and making some other reasonab proposals and more appealing to ashley: are they retating in

some fashion. >> going for them and going on thside of syria and hezbollah real question is will israel go after iran's nuclear or going for a deal terror forces around the region. ashley: we shall see. jameel snapper. thank you for joining us. jameel jaffer, thank you. hostages speaking out about the abuse their children went through. come back in here, lauren. what are they saying about this lauren: they tell the bbc stories of starvation and abuse during their daughter's 15 months of captivity. the father of agom burger is 20

years old going for them and hostages in front of a gaza side and she'll say it and going for them on the side. the mother spoke of the starvation and how her daughter reacted when she saw male hostages released and looked emaciated and daniella said she got thinner and lost weight through the captivity but in the last two months, they were given a lot of food to gain weight in other words force feeding her. they forced her to stay till her own death and daniella saw her family, she had to apologize she thought in fact she was death. ashley: physical and mental torture. lauren, thank you. coming up, more much varney after this.

mayor eric adams is going to allow ice agents to once again operate from rikers island. >> far left has hijacked this narrative. ice is running in our schools ss and churches and they're bringing communities frenzy. by having ice on rikers island, part of our gang intelligence, using intel with nypd correction officers, we can identify those gangs inside and outside on the street i'm able to do an executive order back on rikers island and put them on the criminal apparatus. >> getting on rikers island is a game changer and not only get the bad guys before hitting the street, the intelligence of how tda operates. ashley: you know, fox five good day cohost rosanna scott joining us this morning. good to see you. adams calling out the far left for hijacking the narrative for deportations. i guess my question is why

wouldn't they want dangerous criminals off the streets? >> it makes sense, doesn't it? yeah, we're a sanctuary city here in new york and they don't cooperate with ice. we allowed ice on rikers island before 2014. we had mayor de blasio and changed a lot of laws in the town making them a bit more -- well, we have bail reform; right so it allows the criminals to have a bit more leeway in new york city and there's a pushback as you saw on "fox & friends," the mayor made big news talking about cooperating with ice at rikers island and giving them back their office they haven't had since 2014. i think he's 4 to walk back those -- had to walk back those comments, ashley, after appearing on "fox & friends"

there's legalities and he can't change the law with a stroke of a pen. city council came out and said not so fast, mayor. stay tuned, may not be that easy for him. ashley: yeah. next one for you, new york prosecutors resigning after department of justice ordering them to group the dais kens adams. they claim aapps only helped with immigrations to get the charges dropped. >> think about my attorney, one of the top trial attorneys in the country and imagine him going inside saying that only way that mayor adams is going to assist is if you drop the charges. that's quid pro quo. took up to three weeks to report in front of her a criminal action. come on, this is silly.

ashley: fascinating. rosanna, what do you make of that, especially with the prosecutors resigning in a huff? >> there's a show down between the trump administration and federal prosecutors, no doubt about it. i think five or six people resigned in the last day or so over the charges. understand that danielle sasoon, the interim top prosecutor at u.s. attorney's office and it's like a sovereign office and people really respect that office and it's been nonpolitical in the past. she was interim. but we knew when we heard the doj was asking her to drop the charges, and we heard basically nothing. we heard crickets. we all said in new york city, something's going on and sure enough yesterday she resigned. she -- when she resigned, she sent a letter out saying basically she believed the

charges against the mayor could be proved and she had more charges coming. now quid pro quo, don't they do that in legal circumstances? don't they offer people part of a criminal investigation some kind of your do this for me and say this for me and we'll lessen the changers against you. charges against you. isn't that quid pro quo? ashley: it is indeed and it's used often. never a dull moment in new york city politics and that's why we love it and having you on the show. thank you, rosanna, as always and we'll watch your special, the underground economy, that is available now on fox nation. don't miss it. by the way, another programming note, today watch part ii of kevin cost costner's special yellowstone nation on fox nation. all right, coming up on the show, former acting director of

let the food and medical industry run health policy anymore. we're going to turn health policy over to people that are actually concerned with public health. >> kennedy planned to overhaul health agency with radical transparency and working with a maha commission created by president trump to reform food policy, which he believes is the root of chronic illnesses, expand healthcare access, and treatment options, and he's demanding more accountability for the pharmaceutical industry, which he accuses of putting profits over healthcare. but, ashley, critics of his confirmation persist with fears of measles outbreak and rumors that he'll take vaccines away. something which kennedy denies. >> i'm not taking anybody's vaccine. if people are happy with their vaccines, thought to be able to get them. we're going to give people good science. we don't have good safety studies on almost any of the vaccines. >> it was that vaccine worry

that senator mitch mcconnell, a polio survivor, cited as a reason to be the only republican voting against his confirmation. ashley. ashley: all right. fascinating stuff, griff, thank you very much. by the way, after being sworn in as hhs secretary on thursday, rfk jr. praising god for sending trump to him. >> 20 years every morning i've gotten up on my knees and pray that had god would put me in a position to end the childhood chronic disease epidemic in this country. on august 23 of last year, god sent me president trump. every moms he's made to me -- every promise he's made to me, he's kept his word and gone way beyond it. i'm so grateful to you, mr. president. ashley: one of the people helping push past the rfk jr. hysteria is maha mom caroline.

what changes would you like to see rfk jr. implement? >> yeah, well, it's pretty common sense. i mean, the most important change is to continue this theme of transparency and radical transparency when you give parents the answers that they're looking for and you give them the truth, they can make really good decisions. it's interesting, mothers know when they're being lied to and it's attracted moms and parents to the movement and know something isn't right. to be a "fully vaccinated child" that requires 80-100 doses to over 50 different vaccines. yet our children are sicker than they've ever been. these are just very simple common sense questions we have to ask. what parents are looking for is transparency and looking for good data. that's something rfk jr. has mentioned time and time again is we need to make sure someone from the outside comes in that

isn't incentivized one way another my foods or pharma or anyone, in order to run honest and good studies. that's what we're looking for. we're sheriff confident and it's not going to happen overnight and they're very new answered problems and good data and transparency will allow the american people to turn this around. ashley: rfk jr., caroline, is vowing to launch a vaccine injury reporting system right away. take a listen to this. >> we're going to give people good science. we don't have good safety studies on almost any of the vaccines. vaccines are the one medical product that's exempt from pryor licensing safety studies. >> think the covid vaccine was safe and boosters were safe? a lot of people talk about ad verse effects? >> we don't have good data on it, and that's a crime. the fact we don't have a surveillance system that actually works, and we will do that right away.

ashley: caroline, 30 seconds. >> doge and our government running on broken systems and vaccine injury reporting is one of those. the cdc themselves have admitted that, and i think the biggest thing here coming to medicine is there's a rule of thumb, just because we can do something, doesn't mean we should. and yes, might be better for profits but the american people have been the ones that lost in this. ashley: we'll leave it right there. caroline, thank you so much as always for joining us. we appreciate it. now this, nih principal director who led the covid investigation resigned on tuesday. lauren, come back in here. he admitted to congress last year that his agency funded research in china. what's going on here? lauren: he's resigning acorruptly and not saying why.

i hope the very best for him much don't get in a fight with tom homan unless you want to enter into a fight; right. i think pope francis is saying has always been first thing on his mind has been people suffering and he sees not just the american situation and refugees from around the world who suffer greatly because of the situation they're living in and he's always going to be on the side of those suffering and the catholic church teaching supports as the pope gives the responsibility and the obligation to a government to secure its boarders so they're safe ask sustainable levels of immigration. so i think both tom homan and the pope have good points on this, and it's of course the devil's in the dee tails. that's where it comes down to it is treat people with dignity but if the best thing for immigrants here is that there be a safe

border. the best thing for americans is that there not be criminals in our boarders. so that's -- it comes down to the government. that's your responsibility to make that work. ashley: why doesn't he go after the governments that create the conditions that force these poor people to look somewhere to live peacefully? that's where the source of this begins. >> yeah, let's be honest, he does do that especially when he's traveling to a lot of places arnold the world. world where there's tremendous suffering and speaks a lot of truth to the power there. what we hear in the united states is hey, you're talking about us. do you have any idea of what's going on? i would say most likely pope francis doesn't have a deep understanding of the details of the border and human trafficking in the united states, so i think we have to put it into context. ashley: you are the ultimate
