where ya headed? susan: where am i headed? am i just gonna take what the markets gives me? no. i can do some research. ya know, that's backed by j.p. morgan's leading strategists like us. when you want to invest with more confidence... the answer is j.p. morgan wealth management >> there's been times in which

money has been given back. it makes a real world connection for people to get that check in their hands and say oh, man, i'll be able to breathe a little easier. >> all the talk about tariffs is posturing. it's the gainsmanship happening behind the scenes trying to force issues. >> the sky is not falling. the impact of the tariffs, whatever they'll be, we don't know, is not anywhere near as heavy or bad as people are talking a.c. >> china is waiting and watching. if they see russia succeeds in taking over ukraine or u.s. backs down or europe backs down, they'll be encouraged. >> we have 70% of fourth grader cspan not read at grade level. something is fundamentally wrong. i'm very pleased that doge is getting into all of these numbers. >> you can say elon musk, you do what you need to do and if there's a political price to pay, trump says he'll pay it. it's courage and smarts.

stuart: this is sixth avenue. it's not like it used to b. used to be traffic up and down the wazoo. it's not now. it is however 11:00 eastern time and it is definitely thursday, february 20th. dow down 540 points and this rate set to close at lowest january 21st. nasdaq down about 1%. that's a selloff indeed. looking at big tech, there's a couple of winners, microsoft is up $3. they've got new quantum computing. lauren: openai grew by 100 million ewe users in two months time. lauren: microsoft up $3. alphabet, nvidia and amazon are done. where's the yield on 10 year

treasury? last time we checked at 4.5% and that's where it is now. 4.50%. thacks the markets and now this. talk about shock and awe. president trump has clearly tilted towards russia and away from europe and ukraine. the reaction is dramatic. new york times with trump's posturing to putin, expect a more dangerous world. washington post: abandoning ukraine would damage the u.s.' credibility. new world order taking shape and so it does. there's been no love lost between russia and america for years, but now we're getting together to try is for peace. seismic shift like this is like an earthquake shaking diplomacy around the world and bring as lot of opposition and intense anxiety. it's like the president's gaza solution, radical in the extreme. move the pal tin indians and we

build gaza into riviera of the mideast. that was a diplomatic bomb shell and brings condemnation and outrage, but, but has anyone come up with a better idea for peace in ukraine or the mideast? sure, both are a shift from the way things used to be but during the campaign, he's railed for years and now he's the president and has the power and bully bull pit. if the ukraine indians or arabs or anyone else have a viable solution for ending the bloodshed, let's hear it. in the meantime, take our president's ideas, work on them, work with him because right now, he's the best hope we've got. i can't help this but i've got to say it, if kamala harris were now the president, what do you think the world would look like? third hour of varney starts now.

stuart: all right, he's back, marc thiessen, think we'd be in this spot? >> if joe biden gave ukraine all the weapons that he gave them over three years in the first months after they were -- after russia was losing in kyiv, the war would have been over in 2022. so he's slow rolled the weapons and put us in the stalemate we're in today and donald trump is trying to fix it. i think people need to stop setting their hair on fire. which is what everybody seems to be with every utterance and donald trump is the best friend ukraine could have and trying to end the war and he's offered them a minute rale's deal. it's a long term, a $550 billion investment to cooperate to mine and produce minerals in ukraine. they have $26 trillion worth of

rare earths and titanium and the world and united states need. if they sign that deal, that means we're having a long term investment in the sovereignty and independence of democratic ukraine. they need to get the deal done and how do we do that? we can't do the mineral deal dpoaes there's missile going and needs peace and a stable peace that allowstous make billions of dollars together, which is what he's tieing to do. stuart: mark, stay there for the markets and a selloff and a selloff it is. the dow industrials are down over 1.3% and nasdaq down 1% as well. lou basenese with me. that's a significant decline. do you want to explain it? >> is it really? relative to the s&p 500. stuart: it's a significant one for one day.

>> we're at all time highs and politically people are setting hair on fire and investors are setting hair on fire today because the world's largest discount retailer reported good results not as good as expectations and that's the reason for the selloff and look at underpinnings of the markets, over three quarters of s, and p recorded results and profits up almost 17% for the quarter. that's the best in earnings growth in over four years and the underlying fundamentals of the market are strong. >> that's not my opinion and based on history and 28 months into the bull market and average bull market out of last 11 ran for 67 months and median was 60 momonths and if january and february were positive, which we're on track for, 93% of the time the rest of the year is a positive run. the data and fundamentals and historically markets performing and are earnings growth indexing and at a rapid case. stuart: i feel a little better.

stay there for the hour. make me feel better over the next hour. democrat congresswoman jazmine crockett suggests that voters will be better off with sleepy joe as president. watch this. >> people don't understand be you will understand when those hospitals in rural america start closing down even more. you'll understand when you don't have your social security. you will understand when your medicaid, medicare goes away, you will understand as planes continue to fall out of the sky. soon you will understand why it's important to maybe have somebody that isn't loud and ridiculous and maybe sleepy joe is what we wanted because we could at least sleep at night. stuart: okay marc thiessen, have at it why don't you. >> what makes americans have trouble sleeping at night? personal debt. on joe biden's watch, americans went from the highest level of personal savings to the highest level of personal debt in history including the highest level of credit card debt in

american history. know what keeps americans up at night? grocery prices. americans under joe biden paying $125 for $100 basket of groceries and 60% had to use credit card debt and payday loans to cover grocery bills. know what keeps americans up at night? phygoyuri colinsing out how to pay their bills and -- figuring out how to pay their bi bills ad mortgages almost doubled and residential rent up 22% cost of electricity, utility, healthcare, child care went through the roof on joe biden's watch. know what is helping people sleep at night? the fact they're not living through the nightmare of the obama years anymore. that's what's helping people sleep at night. stuart: marc thiessen always good, see you again real soon. >> thank you. stuart: last hour apple's chief executive tim cook arrived at the white house. now we're being told he's currently meeting in the oval office. ting unclear why he's there and keep you informed. look at wal-mart. on the downside.

it's falling 6.7% after the earnings reports and wal-mart fourth quarter sales and warned of slow growth ahead. on the call, did wal-mart say anything about the tariffs? >> stock is down guiding from 3-4% sales growth for this year and 5% last year. management said this, not sure if these tariffs will take effect next month so they didn't factor for them in their guidance so that lower guidance does not include potential tariffs. buzz they're ready nonetheless. >> as we've been saying tariffs are something we've managed for many years and we'll continue to manage and we've got a great team and know how to do that and can't predict what will happen in the future and can manage it really well. we're wired to try and save people money. lauren: their biggest business is groceries. two-thirds of sales, the food isle much of that come from the u.s. and they're insulated from higher tariffs, but they're not

immune to them. if you look at declines today, absolutely rattling investors up 6.23% and first time ever, wal-mart's $180.6 billion in quarterly revenue was lower than amazon's. never happened before. amazon $7 billion more in that quarter and that's raising concern if wal-mart can continue to keep their prices low. the retailer is touting their investments in automation, in their supply chain to continue to offer shoppers at value to keep them coming and overall shoppers may start pulling back and recent data showing consumer sentiment falling to seven month low and consumer prices rise in the most of 2.5 years and households take on debt to get by. wal-mart stock up 80% and up 15% this young year alone and 6% this movant. you have the declines today coming after all the nice gains.

stuart: i missed them all. thank yous lauren. trump administration dismantled usaid's multibillion dollar budget after uncovering a laundry list of questionable expenditures and groups that receive that money are asking a federal judge to hold trump in civil contempt. we have that story for you. with all the money doge is saving, trump is considering giving some of it back to taxpayers. >> saving taxpayers billions and billions of dollars every single day and under consideration, a new concept and giving 20% of doge savings to american citizens. stuart: we will ask florida congressman carlos gimenez if he supports a doge dividend. he joins us next. ♪ pronamel clinical enamel strength can help us to keep our enamel for a lifetime. it's backed by science

stuart: just outside dc, the 2025cpac conference is underway and jd vance is the first speaker. alexandria hoff joins me. what was vance's message? reporter: he had several messages, stuart. mainly highlighting the successes of administration so far just in the one month since inauguration day. he spoke about his faith. he spoke about immigration, about free speech, which we know has become a hot topic related to him, and it's not his first time speaking at the annual conference. he's been a regular figure since his successful senate run in 2022 and clearly his standing has been elevated since then, and vance is considering one of the most key figtures this helping push forward the nominations and nominees that president trump picked for his cabinet allowing this administration to hit the ground

running. one of the areas that's gotten a lot of talk: government spending. >> why are we spending money on progressive modern art projects centered around toilets in afghanistan. that's something your tax dollars were funding until very recently and we're all sitting around sergeant what the hell have been been doing with the american people's money for the last four years. >> other areas and going to support violent illegal immigrants and fueling the economy and protecting american workers from running domestic manufacturing and reestablishing american strength at home and abroad. so other speakers are pam bondi, chris wright and house speaker mike johnson and florida senator rick scott. we can confirm that president trump will close out cpac with remarks on saturday when president trump spoke here this

time last year, he was not even the official nominee and president trump said his first speech at cpac was back in 2011. he was a businessman and a reality television host. when he speaks on saturday, it'll be for the 13th time and jig a short time ago. it was announced there'll be a special surprise guest taking the stage and that'll be elon musk. we don't have exact details on the timing of that yet though, stuart. stuart: elon musk, they're very close. thank you, alexandria. president trump is considering giving some of the savings from doge to taxpayers in the form of dividend checks. >> curbing inflation and saving taxpayers billions and billions every single day and there's even under consideration a new concept that we give 20% of doge savings to american st.s and 20s towards paying down debt because the numbers are incredible, elon.

so many billions -- hundreds of billions and we're thinking of giving 20% back to the american citizens. stuart: carlos gimenez, republican from florida joining me now. should the doge savings all go towards deficit reduction or some back to taxpayers in the form of a dividend? what would you like to see? >> i don't know probably with tax pay eric money going back in their pockets. i mean, it is their money. it's not our money. i do think we also need to have deficit reduction. that's should be on the top of the list. when i was mayor, we gave dividend money back to the senior citizens and it's a good thing the federal government is considering it, and i certainly would support such a measure as long as it's done correctly. stuart: wouldn't hurt the republicans in the fourth coming midterm elections now, would it?

>> no, but the government thinks it's their money. it's not their money. it's your money. if we're not spending it right, it should stay in your pocket. we need to break this somehow -- idea that somehow we're entitled to all this money. we're not. we should be good stewards of your money, my money, everybody's money and apparently we haven't been very good stewards of it. stuart: president trump endorsed the house, the house republican plan for one big beautiful bill. but senate republicans are moving forward with their own bill and that bill in the senate does not include an extension of the trump tax cuts. so what's the path forward now? we've got to get the tax cuts in place and get them in soon. how do we do that? >> i think we do it with one big beautiful bill and that's been my position and i think the president is absolutely right and the problem is if you somehow just do a border bill, and pass that, that's the sweetener for some of the members to pass and so we need

to have some of the good and bad all in one big bill. i'm not saying there's anything bad but some of our members may not be, you know, sotive if the border is already passed and one big beautiful bill is the way to go. we're taking that step by -- i know the budget committee passed budget reso. the budget reso we'll be voting on that next week, and once we pass that, then we start our work and get a big reconciliation bill on to the senate passed and send on to the president of the united states. stuart: do you believe by early summer we can have an extension of trump's tax cuts and the new tax cuts also in the bill? can we get it all done by early summer? confident? >> am i confident? we have to get it done, simple as that. if we don't, we demonstrate to the american people maybe we can't get things done and that's

the last thing we want to do. we want to buck history and have majority in '26 again and if not, donald trump will be hampered for the last two weirs of his administration. we can't allow that to happen. only way we don't allow that to happen is prove the american people we keep our promises and that we are fit to govern. stuart: congressman carlos gimenez, thank you for joining us and come back soon. >> thank you. stuart: usaid contractors and nonprofits are asking the judge to hold the trump administration in civil contempt. not sure what that means. ashley, come on in. tell me what that's all about. ashley: they're doing it on the grounds of trump's executive order to freeze that foreign aid. it could eric represent blizzard warnings harm their organization and not paying out grants and contracts despite the judge's order to lift the freeze. the contractors sued earlier

this month and alleging they were waiting on hundreds of millions of dollars in outstanding invoices from the government. two other nonprofits filed a complaint alleging that trump's executive order violates the separation of powers. guess what, the ad administratin says it's working diligently to comply with the jungs and concluded done nothing wrong. that's where it stands. stu. stuart: that's where we'll take it. thanks, ashley. check the markets, please. it's still a big selloff. dow off close to 600 and nasdaq 175-6789 red ink across the board. coming up, new chairman of ftc. andrew ferguson, he told fox business he promises to strip protections from big tech and hold the industry's feet to the fire. much more with his exclusive interview weed ward lawrence on this show today. trump is negotiate ago ban for
