>> no one runs donald trump. he's the chief executive and he can hire whoever he wishes and this is how any company or any competent country is run if it chooses to be efficient. >> these are people in the united states of lib terrific i. we have members of congress educating them. i find that deeply troubling. >> every country has to trade with the united states. china can't win a tit for tat war with the united states nor can mexico or canada. >> werenski in the housing sector and fed is in a pickle and interest rate haves come down but we've seen virtually no impact on inflation. what president trump needs to do is he needs to lighten up the regulatory environment. >> markets never sleep even though they're not trading today, all the things are moving and stirring and tariffs rate now are what people are focusing on and might be missing the bigger story of the tax cuts.

stuart: that's a little frenetic, that music. lauren: got get the energy up. there's no one on the streets. stuart: sixth avenue is deserted. it's 11:00 eastern time. it's monday, february 17th. ft.'s day. that means the markets are closed, but we can show you futures. we have green on the screen, up 40 on the dow, up 40 on the nasdaq. how about cryptos trading all the time. you're down to 95.7 on bitcoin right now but ethereum is moving up a little. price of oil, $70 a barrel, $74-point # 8 and price of oil, $29.12 to be precise. now this, donald trump is taking his revolution overseas.

two developments show the impact. first, europe and ukraine, trump picks up the phone and talks directly to putin about peace. that's a breakthrough. trump is negotiating. nebraskas of his team are now flying to saudi arabia to lay the ground work for putin and trump summit. europeans are agassed. why weren't they included? right now europe's leaders are gathering at the palace in paris for a big summit of their own. they're scrambling to address the trump challenge. and vice president vance shocked germany when he criticized their approach to free speech and immigration. could it be the change trump brought to america is just breaking out in europe? looks like it. the second development is in the mideast. the president has already shocked everyone with his plan to turn the rubble of gaza into the riviera of the mideast. now he's piling pressure on iran. national security adviser mike waltz over the weekend repeated trump's statement "iran can

never have a nuclear weapon". the president has supplied israel with bonker busting bombs capable of taking out iran's nuclear facilities. he's told netanyahu, do whatever you want if hamas, iran's proxy, doesn't give up all the hostages. essentially that's peace through strength and that's trumpism and as of today, donald trump has been president for four weeks. have you ever seen such dramatic change at home and abroad in such a short time? third hour of varney starts now. stuart: steve forbes with me this morning. i'm going to repeat my question straight at you: have you ever seen such dramatic change at home and abroad in such a short time? >> not in my lifetime that's why four weeks feels like four year agos and all the things he's doing. 20 new story as day instead of one. finally have one a week.

i think, yes, he's setting the agenda everywhere and everyone is amazed at the pace he's going and going to nascar races. stuart: who could miss that. he's overwhelming his opposition. the democrats have no answer except file lawsuits to stop him. that's all they got. >> and that's the bankruptcy of the democratic party today. they're still entrolled with the far left and fearing primarying from far left opponents and that's why small donors to the democratic party are now holding back because they don't feel the party has a way of answers trump with something positive instead of no and we're going to sue you. stuart: we were showing video of trump at daytona 500 driving the beast around the track and a flyover of air force one. >> and the democrats aren't even in the race. stuart: now, listen to what president trump said when he was asked about the january inflation report. roll tape.

>> we've been here for three weeks and when you see the inflation numbers, i've been here for three weeks and i have nothing to do with inflation. this was caused by biden. i had four years of virtually no inflation so i'm just taking over, but i'll tell you what, this country has made more progress in the last three week than it's made in the last four years and we're respected again as a country. stuart: so, steve, is inflation -- is today's inflation biden's fault? >> let me ask the question, you know it's ridiculous. of course not. it's like back when before any of you were born. richard nixon took over in 1969 with the war rages in vietnam hardly in office and democrats blamed him for the war the democrats started. seeing the same phenomena here today and the problem that arises, that's your fault even though you've only been in office for a few weeks and that gets to the fact he's done so much in four week people are asking in four weeks, why haven't you cured everything in the world?

he's trying to put policies in place, including a big fat beautiful tax cut bill stuart: that's absolutely crucial, isn't it. don't get that taxer cut, and get it soon, the markets will react and the economy will react. >> the economy will react and also have to add new tax cuts and there's a vibrant economy into 2026 or else the democrats will take over and that's going to be chaos for the last -- next two years. get that big beautiful tax cut bill through and ignore when the congressional budget office causes for deficits and reducing burdens on people, people do more and all of us benefit. stuart: you know the republican party, is it sufficiently unified to get that tax cut extension? >> they're trying but what is so discourage sergeant members of the party, at least my party, don't get there's more revenue and big lesson from 2017 and cbo and other scores say it's going to increase the deficit and revenues up more than if they

didn't have the tax cut in the first place. stuart: what will you do with the freedom caucus? >> they need to be taken to the wood shed. stuart: leaving it right there. bringing in jason katz, he joins me now. how long do you think inflation will trend up? it's trending up at the moment. how long does that last? >> i would actually beg to differ. inflation readings were not as bad as what actually met the eye last week. yes, cpi, ppi were up but overall inflation is trending lower and you look at fed's preferred measure, pce, personal consumption, it's showing signs of moderation. what investors really need to phenomenal customer on however, stu, is shelter inflation. that is trending lower. owner equivalent red rose the least last month over the last year. that's because leases reset every year or two years and take as bit more time. stuart: we had jeff seeker on

the show earlier today, leading developer in the northeast. he said they're not building enough multifamily units and that demand stays strong therefore rents are going to go up, not down, rents will go up and that will add to inflationary pressures. what say you? >> look, i don't want to beg to differ with the great jeff seeker, but once you get deregulation, you'll see rents come down. we're already seeing evidence of that. perhaps not in the areas that jeff owns properties but look, long term interest rates may get a bump with the tariff area and those will quickly abate. we're seeing scott bessent and trump, they're not going to jay bone the fed any longer. there's no point telling the fed what to do. what they will do is drive the 10 year yield lower, drill, baby, drill, issue more government treasures on the

short end and extract the cost efficiencies and inefficiencies through doge. if we get the 10 year lower, jeff seek will make a lot of money on his real estate. stuart: all of what you're saying suggest the market is in pretty good shape to go higher still. >> i think the market could go up 9% from the levels and see an attractive environment for risk asset and stable labor market around 4% unemployment and again, inflation looks like it will ultimately abate and the gross domestic product showing no signs of slowing down and risk reward remains in the favor of being long equities on buying the dips. stuart: jason katz, we love to hear it. thank you very much indeed. see you real soon. got it. now this, elon musk and doge setting their sights on the largest gold reserve in ft. knox in kentucky. madison, what does doge want to do at fort knox? madison: get in there and audit

the gold and make sure it's really there. on x a user asked musk "take a look inside fort knox to make sure the 4,580 tons of gold is there". musk responded saying surely it's reviewed at least every year. senator rand paul said nope and he's encouraging musk to get in there. >> secretary of treasury and senior senator from kentucky went down and contested they did see the gold. more transparency and better and brings attention to the fact that gold still has value and implicitly not explicitly but implicitly, gold gives value to the dollar and that's why we don't get rid of it. madison: there's long been a conspiracy that the piles of gold within fort knox don't exist any longer. that the riches were sold off by the u.s. government. that theory popped up in the 70s and it's the same tame that the u.s. left the gold standard go

for the federal reserve and 100% important asset and going for doge to get in there and coming in. stuart: remind me of gold finger bond movie. coming up, vivek ramaswamy is one step closer to throwing his hat in the race for governor of ohio. we have the story. trump administration going with them and how iran can never have a nuclear weapon. >> president trump is absolutely serious, deadly serious when he says iran can never have a nuke and certainly not on president trump's watch. stuart: i'm going to ask general jack keane how we can ensure iran never get as nuclear weapon. the white house putting pressure on ukraine to give the u.s. access to rare earth minerals. once the war is over, it'll be a form of repayment for our support of ukraine. zelensky wants more in return however. edward lawrence has the report from the white house next.

stuart: national security adviser mike waltz urging ukraine to make a deal that would give the u.s. access to their rare earth minerals once the war is over. edward lawrence at the white house. edward, what is zelensky saying about this deal? reporter: still no. the special envoy from president trump going to the middle east and steve witkoff says the first step in getting a peace process in any deal is to gain trust. now, he is in saudi arabia right now to pave the way for the trump putin m meetings. >> it's getting everybody to

understand that this war does not belong continuing and it should end and that's what the president has directed us to do to negotiate a proper ending of this war. no more death, there's been too much already. that's what he said and that's the direction and that's what we're going to do. reporter: ukraine is involved in the peace process and treasury secretary scott bessent included a phone call over the weekend and zelensky met with jd vance and secretary of state marco rubio and i traveled with secretary bessent when he deliver that had for a 50/50 joint partnership in ukraine and incruding rare earth mineral mining and energy like oil and natural gas and infrastructure and the secretary said that agreement would offer ukraine protection. >> we believe that this is an important signal. it's to russian leadership that

we stand together once this is over and it'll provide a long term security shield for all ukrainians. reporter: more assets the government has, u.s. government has on the ground in ukraine should act like a deterrent over the long run to protect ukraine against russian incursion and zelensky signing a trade deal with that country and u.s. does not offer enough protection and would like to see more u.s. weapons being assured to come to his country as well as more security guarantees in order to end this war and continue the protection of ukraine. back to you, stu. stuart: edward, thank you very much. joining me now is retired four star general jack keane. general, do you sense the war in ukraine is coming to an end gradually? >> well, i think we're beginning the process that could probably bring it to an end. most critical thing took place

last wednesday, and that's when president trump called president putin. after all, putin has been avoiding negotiations and saying he wasn't coming to the negotiating table, and it was because he was winning it war and there's no need for negotiations. well, that all changed on wednesday when president trump got an affirmation from putin he's willing to negotiate and the president's national security team arriving in saudi arabia to meet with the russians to see if there's really substance behind putin's claim that he's willing to negotiate. we know for a fact that the russians are manipulators of negotiation. the agreement made in 2014, they manipulate that had to their own favor. this team is very versed on how russia manipulates negotiations and we'll see and find out if there's substance behind putin tin's words that he wants to

negotiate. that's what the meet sergeant about and it's the beginning of the process, stuart. this is complicated and it'll take time. this is not going to end in the next days or next couple of weeks. i think we're beginning this process and thankful for president trump for starting this process. it wouldn't be happening if he wasn't there. stuart: what do you make of the british offer to send peace keeping troops and sending peace keepers into ukraine? what do you make of that? >> absolutely the right thing. a year ago, the french president was saying the same thing. this is the challenge we've had with the europeans and they have paid a fair amount of money to help ukraine, but their militaries have been weak, they're not as well trained and their capabilities are not what they should be and the last 30+ years they've been building social democratic welfare states at expense of defense budgets and they've raised their defense

budgets 23 out of 32 to 2% of gdp. now they're thinking about raising it to 3.5 to 3.7 based on president trump asking them to do more. this is a step in the right direction. what the uk prime minister says it's absolutely the right thing. we need to hear from europe. what are they ideas and how do they help the guarantee of future security of ukraine because we know, stuart, even if there's a peace agreement, putin can wait it out for the administration and they have doe tenters there and they have something that's going for them. going to strengthen ukraine's hand and going for air force around f16. put the weapons in there that they need.

bring grades training with them and uk put forces in there and france put forces in there. anybody can make a list but actually coming forward and taking action is what is needed. stuart: the president says iran will never be allowed to get a nuclear weapon. do you sense that we're gearing up towards israeli attack on iran's nuclear facilities and they do after all have the bunker busting bombs. think that's an awe thing? >> there's two options and one is the principle as you just statedded. president trump and netanyahu are not going to permit iran to have a nuclear weapon. and there's evidence to commit just that and going for a nuclear weapon and they've lost their proximate jim jordans and more and going for their

strategic weapon going for them and what's left for them and a nuclear weapon guaranteeing them going for the regime going with two options on the table. president trump prefers the first one and that's the course of diplomacy and dismantling the nuclear weapon going for them and intern inter-nags inspectioe united states to verify and u.s. and support for israeli strike to go there and netanyahu will not disagree with the president for the first option. iran said delay, delay, cheat, cheat, cheat. a year from now we could be in the same place we're at now and nobody wants that. those are the two options, stuart, and there's commitment that iran will never have a nuclear weapon and today,

tonight that has much more teeth in it than it mass in the past. stuart: general, don't be a stranger to us, please. you know what you're talking about. come back and seen us real soon on this because i think it's a big deal. general jack keane, thank you. now this, a new report by a u.s. think tank is questioning china's military strength. hey, ashley, do they think china is ready for war? ashley: no. in fact, according to rand research institute, beijing's push for military modernization is based on the communist party wanting to retain its grip on power rather than fighting an overseas foe. the report claims that china's people liberation army or pla, started rival or in some categories surpass the u.s. military. simulations by u.s. defense experts have shown the u.s. having a tough time matching the pla in a fight close to china's shores, especially over the

island of taiwan. but the report suggests that political pressures interfering with the pla's effectiveness and other experts talking about the top military goal is clear, bringing taiwan under beijing's control and by force is necessary. the pentagon by the way estimates that beijing is growing the nuclear warhead arsenal by about 100 every year, stu. stuart: thanks, ashley. coming up, don't reprint your maps just yet. the gulf of america may not be the only body of water getting a new name. we'll explain it for you. some democrats cannot seem to accept president trump's high approval ratings. >> is there anything you're seeing that trump is doing that you are in favor of that you think is the right thing? >> let me say as it relates to all of those issues, we're just

stuart: hakeem jeffries pressed by democrats pushing back on president trump with rising favorability ratings. watch this. >> donald trump's favorability rate sergeant higher than it ever was the first time around. only 63% favor federal government's recognition of only two sexes of 60% favor deporting immigrants that entered the united states illegally and 60% favor oil and gas production. is there anything you're seeing that trump is doing that you are in fair of or think is the right thing? >> as it relate toss all of those issues, we're just at the beginning. stuart: that wasn't a very aggress i pushback now was it? the gentleman on the right hand side is gop pollster mitchell

brown. all right, mitchell, is trump getting more popular? can you back that up in your poll something >> trump is getting more popular. we've seen this the first 100 days will be almost profoundly more favorable than his first administration and the reason for this is what we've seen. people voted for trump because they don't want their children indoctrinated and they're boy or girl. they want drill, baby, drill and prices down at the pump and they want us to crack down and deport illegals in the country el lislely and if you're -- illegally and if your messaging campaign is to hurt trump on the issues, you'll lose and he'll get more and more favorable. stuart: you're a pollster and break down the polls and tell me where trump's added support is coming from. which groups are more in favor of him? >> the two group withs the most rise from previous administration to this are african american men and young

voters and young voters in a desperate place and not looking good purchase a home and every day life getting more and more expensive and that coalition is moving significantly towards trump in the past eight years and secondly almost up to 50% of black men that approve of what trump has been doing in the first 100 days. now contrast that with what it was like in the previous admin around 25% number and you can can see exactly where the growth is coming from. stuart: fox news digital held a focus group with republican nem democrat and independent voters and showed that independent voters approved of trump's prosperity to cut taxes and eliminate wasteful government spending. again, amongst independents is that what you're seeing in your polling? >> every one of these for trump is positive for independent voters and at the highest with deportation numbers with independents and second being drilling and third being the transition surgeries and these are what they want to see. you can even go across the board

with cuts federal waste and international aid. that's all favorable. stuart: some distress amongst democrats they're not responding very well to trump's movement? >> yeah, i don't see much resistance and it's old school conference and going to be chomponning behind a camera veno-- championing behind a camera screen and find ago new tactic not resinating with the voters. stuart: new poll showing 8 #% of us support term limits for members of congress. it's career politicians and, mitch, i've been hearing about this for a long time. term limits for congress, but it never happens, does it? >> no, and 24 number always in the high 80s and even # 0% of people wanting term limits and effort to go out and convince people -- convince legislators to go vote or change something that's going to remove their

power with them right now. going for them to see we're probably not going to see movement on the figures in the dc. stuart: thank you, mitchell. >> good to see you, stu. stuart: vivek ramaswamy filed paperwork to run for governor of ohio. when will he announce? madison: we don't but we're talking about it because it's an official first step. we do expect an announcement that could be coming soon. ramaswamy's campaign filed the designation of treasury reform. that needs to be filed before a candidate takes contribution or spends money. it was submitted using the name vivek ramaswamy for ohio. so again to be clear, he's not announced yet, but it's looking like he could be. ramaswamy has never won an election as a candidate, but he has gotten endorsements including from ohio treasurer

and several of vice president vance's key advisers joined ramaswamy's team so that could mean an endorsement down the line but to get an endorsement, you have to officially announce a run. stuart: i think it's coming, don't you? madison: he's taken the first official step so yes, i think it's coming. stuart: thank you, madison. border czar tom homan had enough with leaks about ice raids. >> we don't need tda knowing we're coming to that residence at certain time because they could ambush our agents and puts them at extreme risk and doj finds that leak, they'll prosecute that leak. stuart: we'll have the vice president of national border patrol council chris cabrera take that on. ear mockerred for one month before biden left office. epa administrator lee zeldin prosperities to claw that money back. we'll tell you which projects are on the chopping block, next.

there. soon you're talking real money. thanks, grady. now this. one of president trump's executive orders forces states like new york and new jersey to rethink their offshore wind projects. ashley, what does this mean for the project that's already underway? did they stop dead in their tracks? ashley: unclear, stu. many people in the wind industry believe that trump's policy means that wind projects are safe if they are under construction and have already federal permits. about five projects fall in that category, including big anyone indian energy project off the coast of virginia. the industry is looking for clarity and who interior secretary doug burgum appoints for ocean energy management, which by the way overseas offshore leases and permitting and at his confirmation hearing, we should point out that burgum said projects that make sense and are within the law will continue and u.s. needed an all of the above strategy to meet

energy demand. wind project developers meanwhile say the worst case scenario is that all wind projects go on hold under trump and they need to wait to develop their federal leases till he leaves office. clarity is what we need, stu. stuart: that's a long way away before he leaves office. he's got four years. ashley: oh, yes. stuart: ashley, thanks. another new report claims that border patrol agents will no longer use body cameras on the job. there's concern that the devices could be used by nefarious actors to track and maybe attack agents. the vice president of the national border patrol council chris cabrera takes us through the risk. he's next.
