secretary of state marco rubio stressing this is the beginning of finding a solution except all sites. michael waltz commenting as well. >> this needs to be a permanent into the war and not a temporary end as we seen in the past the death and destruction that is happening as this word goes on and on month after month in the killing fields of eastern and southern ukraine is unacceptable. it is not in the interest of either country or in the world and certainly not in interest of the united states and europe. maria: president trump suggested the change in power in ukraine which multiple foreign diplomatic sources say could be part of a peace deal. watch this. >> we have a situation where we have had elections in ukraine, we have martial law essentially martial law and ukraine were the

leader in ukraine, i hate to say it buddies down 4% approval rating in our country has been blown to smithereens. i personally, he's fine but i don't care about personally i care about getting the job done you have leadership that a lot of work to go one that should've never happened even without the united states. maria: the president of ukraine zelenskyy says he will not accept any outcome without being part of the talks, trump address that concern as well. >> they've had a seat for three years and a long time before that, this could've been settled very easily a half-baked negotiator could've settled this years ago i think without the loss of very little land and without the loss of any lives and without the loss of cities that are laying on their sides.

maria: president trump says he will probably meet with vladimir putin later this month but no official date has been set up, let's talk about it, your reaction. >> volodymyr zelenskyy wants to pretend his country's sovereign and they have to have a seat at the table but donald trump says you don't get a claim sovereignty when you join the market taxpayer of hundreds of billions of dollars in costs more than a million lives and imploded on both sides of the aisle, if you need a third party like the united states to stop and that's what's going to have to happen. maria: i love what the u.s. team has been talking about with regard to ukraine the terms that i have from sources show that ukraine must transfer 50% of all revenue from resource extraction licenses to the united states. imagine that, president trump is ensuring that this country get something for its money. >> critics would probably describe what's happening as a land grab by the united states. it's also curiously a realignment of the world think about what's happening america

and russia coming together in saudi arabia there is clearly a new world order that is trying to take shape and emerge and i think it sends a message to the chinese who were thinking that russia was on their side wait a minute the u.s. and russia coming together. if i were president shiite would be concerned but i think peace through strength there is a pox americana starting to take shape as well the war is indeed in gaza maybe it's indeed in the ukraine in the u.s. is involved that's a pox americana peace through strength. >> i also like the idea president trump trying to do deals where america is first. as i mentioned the ukrainian story they're going to set up an investment fund for reconstruction in a have exclusive power to manage licenses for the resource extraction we have not heard what zelenskyy thinks of these terms which the americans brought to them but president trump at elon musk spoke to sean

hannity and their first interview together laying out doge plans to cut government waste despite the pushback coming from democrats. watch this. >> one of the biggest functions of the doge team is making sure the presidential executive orders are carried out. the bureaucracy is fighting the will of the people and preventing the president from implementing what the people walked than what we live in is a bureaucracy not a democracy. the overall goal is try to get a tree in dollars out of the deficit. if the deficit is not more under control america will go bankrupt. >> how much do you believe you have identified and waste fraud and abuse and how much do you anticipate. >> 1%. it is so massive this is huge money. we're just getting started. >> the not going to find some

contract that was crooked as hell. there's could be so much the incident found but i think you'll find intriguing dollars. >> i think so but i think it's a small percentage compared to what it is. maria: it's unbelievable what doge has been doing. i thought sean hannity did a great job on the interview what do you think about the bromance. sunlight is the best disinfectant, it's proved every single time peel back the curtains and see what's behind it is like the wizard of oz it's not really there that's what doge is doing the point that trump made is important it's not about one contract is not about one line item it's not about ally in the budget that is absurd and should not happen. it's a systemic problem were washington bureaucrats were allowed to run amuck and run their own shadow government were all the dollars were hidden used on the road and the purposes

purposefully and elon musk and donald trump said were then open the books and show you what we done the past couple of years, that's all they're doing and i hope it doesn't stop. maria: which is what one should do to understand where the money is going. we're just getting started. a quick break president trump's terror feels fear and some americans as a stockpile their favorite goods, here's financial group managing partner jamie cox says the economy is in a good enough place to use that that tears. he will join us to explain. watching "mornings with maria" live on fox business. we'll be right back. ♪

maria: welcome back features indicated to decline the dow industrial down 64 the nasdaq down 8.7 as a people whereby five and a quarter the s&p 500 hit a new record high in ended at 6129 it was up at quarter of 4% and uncharted territory the s&p up 22% in the last year and 24% the year prior but wells fargo investment institute scott ron who is a frequent guest says 20% repeat for the s&p is unlikely this year, here's financial group managing partner jamie cox, good to see you. do you agree with that? >> it's not much of a stretch. it's pretty easy not to call

forth repeat on a 20% s&p run but it doesn't have to be 20% to be strong anything double digits will be fantastic when you talk about rising corporate profits and accelerating profit growth for companies. 20% is great but most often if you can get double-digit returns investors will be happy with that. i don't think we need 20% growth in the s&p 500 for people to be happy with the results. maria: what about the terrorist the conversation this morning president trump says is looking up at a 25% tariff on automobile, semiconductor and pharmaceutical products he says it'll go substantially higher than 25% over the course of the year end report from credit cards.com shows one in five americans are purchasing more items in usual because they're afraid of potential price increases as a result of tariffs, that is the concern but really president trump is trying to persuade the company to build

and america. your reaction? >> rational and consumer don't necessarily go together all the time. when you talk about the new cycle a lot of the new cycle tried to make people afraid as opposed to explaining them in the context of what they accomplished over the long-term. when they explain context, what people realize when you come from a position of strength like the u.s. economy like we have here you can negotiate better pricing, better deals and better opportunity sets for every american. just because prices may arise in the short run and tariff threats it doesn't mean the prices will be sustainably higher in the long run, the opposite is normally what happens when you see the circumstances that present themselves in the u.s. economy with rising corporate profits in pretty stable monetary policy, what you have is a recipe for a strong economic growth, you need to leverage that strength to be able to get the better pricing

and bring down the price of things or the cheating that goes on in the trade barriers that other countries put against us we have to leverage those things to get fair deals and i think that's what the president is trying to do. the interesting thing when you talk about tariffs it's interesting how he does it. in my view the tariffs implemented on china were lower than what i expected and the terrorist threat for mexico and canada were higher than what i expected. if you take a look at what he's actually doing and take a look at what's happening it's going to turn out better because the whole point is to leverage companies that are taking advantage of us most to be able to get them to the table to deal, the only way to do that is to be forceful and that's what he's doing. adam johnson what do you think about the tariff situation the ultimate goal president trump will get the semi conductor companies and automakers to make it in america.

>> i hope so but he can't suddenly decide that you want to make semiconductors here and start making them it takes two years to build a fab which is the place where they call where they make semiconductors. it will happen but it will take time and there will be dislocations in the meantime but i agree with jamie let me put a question to you we have three selloffs of 3% over the past three months one day selloffs, each of those was led by. i think this is a market that wants to go significantly higher how are you playing the salsa happen periodically. >> the same. every time you get a selloffs you get an opportunity. as long as corporate profit continues to rise that is a wearable market any chance for lower prices you should take them none of those fundamentals have changed i'm in total agreement. one of the things that's lost in this entire tariff conversation, trade barriers are not something that president trump came up with on his own, this is been

happening since the end of the global financial crisis in 2009 both president biden president trump the writing has been on the wall about tariffs and lowering are trying to establish the fairness and trade beer use over time this is not something that most americans should look at as a trump policy per se this is been happening for a long time under multiple presidents, the reason we need to write the ship and not the other countries basically take our manufacturing and take her academy away from us we have to be able to protect it. it is important. maria: good to have you. thank you so much jamie cox joining us. we will see you soon. a quick break. democrats are tried to block doge access to government data, one federal judge is not on board north carolina congressman tim moore is here weighing in on the spending out of washington coming out, you're watching "mornings with maria" live on fox business. ♪

than $55 billion. elon musk floating the idea of a doge dividend to trump which would give taxpayers a $5000 check funded by doge savings the white house clarifying elon musk's role stated in the court filing that elon musk is not part of doge and is a white house advisor trump and elon musk discuss working together last night on hannity. >> he is your tech support. >> i actually am tech support. he's a leader's primavera asked the president for anything ever. if it comes a power you handle it. >> he won't be involved. i'll recuse myself if there is. >> if there's accomplished you won't be involved. join me north carolina congressman house budget committee member tim moore good to see you, thank you for being here what is your reaction to president trump and elon musk class like? >> i think the president nailed it exactly correct can you

easiest things to do was to look for waste fraud and abuse, sometimes it's difficult to find and it's great this group is ticketed with new technology to find it. i heard data out there that there is $4 trillion and they don't know where it went. it is shocking how much money is being wasted and with the amount of money that is taken from americans in taxes we await to them and the american taxpayers to make sure every dollar is spent wisely. i think it's a great opportunity that we have right now. maria: is not just the biden administration, this is been going on years automatic checks going out to groups and places in retrospect you have to rethink why will we ever do t that. let's talk about president trump's new threat of tariffs on imports of cars, drugs and semiconductor chips. watch this. >> of you decided specifically what the auto tariff range should be. >> all probably tell you that on april 2 but it'll be in the

neighborhood of 25%. >> what about semiconductors and pharmaceuticals. >> of between 5% higher and it'll go substantially higher over a year but we want to give them time to common. as you know when they come into the united states and they have their plant or factory here there is no tariff. maria: congressman, your thoughts on the tariffs and the impact on the economy? >> on a broader picture i think it's important that there is a focus on america producing more goods than we do we produce where the economic powerhouse of the world but there's a lot of things that we moved offshore and we rely on other countries your previous segment talked about semiconductors we need to make sure were expanding as much domestic production as we can because the national security standpoint you don't want to be in a position where your enemies particularly can hold you hostage. i think the tariffs are way to signal that the united states is

tired of being dealt with unfair trade policies and the other side the sum of the media don't want to talk about are the high tariffs and other countries are recharging the united states from everything from produce to commodity to automobiles, motorcycles or mentor, aircraft, you name it. insisting on fair trade is very important. >> that's what the president reiterates where are you and your colleagues on the budget issue senate majority leader john thune announced a vote on the $345 billion budget resolution to boost border security and the military but this is competing with the house plan to cover all of the president's agenda items in one big bill. house speaker mike johnson posted this on x the house budget implements president trump's full america first agenda not just parts with promises to come back later for the rest we remain laser focus on sending our builder president trump status to secure the border committee and to keep taxes low store energy dominance

and strength of the military make government work better for all americans. do you feel you have the votes for the big bill? >> i believe that we do and i will tell you the house leadership is doing a great job of getting buy-in from the segments of the conference and if you look at the house proposal to deal with all of the issues i think it's extremely important. yes we need to make sure were extending the tax cut and were securing the border in making america energy independent but we also need to rain and out-of-control spending things that doge has identified. the best way to do it is to do it in one bill get this passed into law and get it moving immediately. if we can turn these things around and rain in the spending and lower taxes it will spur the economy like it's never been spurred before. the one bill approach works. maria: how are you raining in the spy data for talking about spending more on defense of the border where are the offsets?

>> there has been figures turnaround up to $2 trillion that can be identified in waste fraud and abuse. there's been a careful look to make sure were not hurting people that need help. when were sending payments for you name it for medicare or anything else outside of the country when we pay for coverage for people in the country illegally that is wrong, those are the things that we believe identified a lot of waste that is out there. were getting this data almost in real time in some cases but you know what is troubling, the question i'm asking as the new guy why hasn't someone done this before. why wasn't somebody watching what is going out the door. i don't get it. >> it's good to see you, thank you so much. >> great to be with you. we will watch your work. israel is ready for phase two of the gaza cease-fire expected to

maria: terrorists group of mass announcing it will release six living hostages on saturday and give israel the bodies of four others tomorrow as part of the cease-fire agreement the terrorist group saying the dead include the bevis family two young boys and their mother, they were taken captive during october 7 attack and become symbols of the hostage crisis israel has not confirmed that they are in fact dead. it is expected that they will be released and that will be at exchanger palestinian prisoners that will be released as well hamas holding dozens more hostages you and watch executive director, thank you for being here. the story of this family is incredibly heartbreaking to see pictures of the mother and her two sons.

your reaction. >> let's recall what hamas did on october 7 was worse than the nazi's the nazis committed the worst atrocity but they tried to hide them from the population in germany and certainly from the world, hamas did the opposite they committed a murdering torturing raping and broadcast the whole thing on october 7 on go pro to the people of gaza. this is hamas that kidnapped the family a mother and her two babies nine -month-old and a 4-year-old and if they are returned done hamas murdered them. if you kidnap a mother and her two babies, you are responsible for them and if you return them.they were murdered by hamas in the world needs to hold them to account, sadly the heads of hamas are sitting pretty and qatar and allowed to go to turkey in the world seems to allow the other than the u.s. and a few others there is no outrage from the world.

maria: that's why i said they were murdered we have to be clear about what's taken place and there's no equivalency to what's going on the fact the hundreds and hundreds of palestinian prisoners are being released for committing serious crimes terrorism against the world and that is in exchange for what 20 hostages so far out of the 73. >> sadly there have been some media like the bbc repeatedly have to apologize because this is israel returned hostages. when they return the man and it is really prison because he strangle palestinians with his own hands they were not returning a hostage they were returning a murder with blood on his hands and israel made a mistake they return to years ago and he was the mastermind of october 7 massacre, once again the returning dozens and hundreds of convicted palestinians others may not have

been convicted but they were detained because they were engaged in terrorism these are not hostages these are terrorist many convicted murderers. maria: that's why wanted to be clear the disagreement calls for 1700 palestinian prisoners to be released who obviously are serious prisoners. israel's foreign minister has confirmed the second phase of the cease-fire negotiations will begin this week, were waiting to hear the terms of the second phase the initial deal a 42 day truths the return of 33 hostages, israel says it remains engaged in the process but it will not accept hamas presence in gaza. your thoughts is not a realistic notion that hamas will not have a role in any governance of gaza after this is all said and done? >> there is a dilemma, two things are true number one hamas cannot remain in control of gaza and i believe israel and the united states are firm on that. the trump administration

understands hamas is monsters and their situated meters away a few yards away from communities and israel and we saw what they did on october 7. hamas stands power will see october 7 again and wore dragon the whole middle east hamas cannot remain in power they are monsters and need to be removed and gaza needs to be de- not to fight. the dilemma israel has dozens of hostages there so israel has to enter a deal with the devil to get the hostages home but the endgame has to be removing hamas the challenge for israel's negotiators are to figure out in the next term how to get the hostages back but not allow hamas to re-entrench a committed other massacre. hamas is pushing back in our van is pushing back no one will tell them what to do with the nuclear weaponry and they will continue to build it. you think it is realistic to believe that they will come up

with some agreement doing a deal with the devil to ensure hamas has nothing to do with gaza. what do you think of president trump's plan that the u.s. goes in there and redevelop the. >> i think president trump put it important truth on the table for the past decade we have the palestinians in gaza that their home is not an gaza in the un agency unrwa has been teaching palestinians and president trump announced he will defund it and it's richer than the foreign affairs of the senate announced their calling for the defunding as i appear there last month people understand palestinians calling them refugees forever even when they live in gaza is not the solution president trump said if you are refugees and suffering i'll find you rooms elsewhere you cannot uproot us from our rooms and land there

telling us when the refugees under defined your beautiful home somewhere in the region, you say you cannot uproot us, it's one of the other either your refugees and accept what president trump is offering you were number two you're not refugees in the whole unrwa should be ended. maria: activists and dissidents from all over the world including jimmy lai's son sebastien lai to speak at the summit for human rights and democracy. i spoke with sebastien lai on the program about his father's arrest recently. >> what is the most egregious national security law that china has implemented in hong kong in your view. >> it is incredibly wide-ranging and goes from the smallest things like social media posting we mentioned before to what they've done to my father my father was a peaceful campaign for the last two years always advocated for peace and never called the independency always

wanted hong kong the joint declaration between hong kong and china to be captain of democracy. that's all he did and then they sent 200 journalists to read his newspaper and rest his colleagues and locked him up in prison the last four years and solitary confinement and humane conditions. maria: what about that, is there any way to attain communist china with the new laws that they threw down when they went into hong kong and took jimmy lying other freedom fighters away and put them in jail. tell us more. >> jimmy lai is a hero he 77 years old extremely successful and could've escaped as the beijing regime, he said and staying with my people he is a man of faith and principal he sitting in solitary confinement yesterday in geneva we hosted the geneva soffit for human rights and brought sebastien lai to talk about his father before ambassadors in the world and
