>> doge derangement syndrome, ever-changing target, obsession

with donald trump and elon musk. >> if we see inflation again, it will get hit once again. >> if he can get pco between ukraine and russia that would be the most successful transformative two months we have ever seen. >> it is distributed at the edges. >> should be the next one. a more experienced kind of thing. stuart: very very old, one of first recordings ever made, 11:00 eastern, friday, february 21st. check the markets. a big drop for the dow industrials, united healthcare down 10% at the moment.

the nasdaq is off one hundred 19 points, plenty of red ink. show me big tech please. same story there. we have one winner, that's apple. they are down. we are below 4.5%. 4.45%. the israeli military says the body of a returned hostage was not that of pershon -- shiri bibas as hamas claim. two young boys whose bodies were returned in coffins have been killed by terrorists in gaza. the whole thing was a disgrace. a war crime even to the united nations, babies in coffins paraded through the streets surrounded by grotesque propaganda posters, benjamin netanyahu is a vampire for example. i've got the video.

i'm not going to put it on the air. it is truly disgusting. after generations of terror, remember yasser arafat, suicide vest on children, wanton carnage of october 7th, thousands of jews murdered or abducted and now the return of tortured hostages. who elected and supported them have lost the respect of humanity. it is a stain on america that hamas is represented in congress and has a huge presence in our universities, that is a stain, the jews are insulted. benjamin netanyahu says, quote, we will have our vengeance. adam boller, hostage affairs on voices faced annihilation. donald trump says hamas has to leave gaza, and so they should. the people who parade the bodies of babies cannot be allowed to stay and plan to do

it all over again. third hour of varney starts now. kim strassstrassel, i feel str about this, hamas misdeed -- must be destroyed. kim:this is appalling, donald trump had said the hostages need to be returned or all hell would break out. there are supposed to be 6 more of returned but the demand should be all of them. not quite as gross as this one but every one of them is turning into a propaganda spectacle. stuart: i don't want to pile on but it's also a disgrace that hamas is represented in the united states congress. what do you say to that?

>> absolutely. you mentioned this too. these college students, the ones who are out waving the flags on campus and conducting there sits in the, i hope they watched this and understand the face of evil that was behind october 7th and what they are actually supporting. stuart: now boats move on. white house chief of staff stephen miller responded to democrats are critical of elon musk. watch this. >> many of the people in this room for four years failed to cover the fact that joe biden was mentally incompetent and not running the country. is also true that many people in this room who used the talking point that elon is not elected fail to understand how government works how glad for the opportunity for brief civics lesson. a president is elected by the american people, what donald trump is doing is removing federal bureaucrats who are

defying the democracy by failing to implement his lawful orders which are the will of the whole american people. stuart: i am shocked that trump whirlwind which seems to be overwhelming the democrats, they haven't come together with any kind of response other than lawsuits. kim:the suggestion that elon musk hasn't followed the rules which isn't true. elon musk is a senior advisor to the president and when you have senate confirmation and stephen miller makes a point, joe biden was surrounded by senior advisors, they were running the government because joe biden was not capable of doing so. this is a guy who was using his expertise to give the president valuable wisdom about how to go about stuart: can trump and musk keep it up and remain popular in the polls?

>> well, look, the word thyestean miller was skirting around there, the word that matters is accountability, and i think that's really important because you just drew that straight line. everyone understands that whatever elon musk does, he was tasked to do this by the president and the president will either get the credit for having done it well, or he'll get the blame if it doesn't go well. one thing i saw with elon musk saying the great thing is this is a target rich environment and you walk into a room and basically any single thing is waste or abuse or fraud. there's a lot of low hanging fruit and not whether or not the judges will succeed legally in the end because i think they have all the authority they need, but whether or not democrats and these lawsuits can convince judges to issue injunctions barring them from even working for months at a time. stuart: i think the whirlwind continues. kim strassel, thank you for joining us this morning.

appreciate it. >> thank you, stuart. happy friday. stuart: happy friday indeed, yes, ma'am. okay, the dow is now down close to 400 points and nasdaq off 10 #* 150 points. again, have to tell you, health -- 150 points. again, health insures way down after news from "the wall street journal" that some are being investigated for medicare billing ideas. we have the dow off 380 and nasdaq, that's down 142 points in the paints and big tech not doing well today. jonathan hoenig with me today as he is on friday mornings. jonathan, you consistently, on this program every week, owe you seem to recommend foreign stocks. is that un-american? >> welt, we're told, stuart, buy american, buy american. the problem is that it is a global economy. and especially now there's so many great product and i have cheap stocks and book rices and price earning ands dividend yield as well and i'm looking at a lot of foreign stocks and you

know, stuart, they're outperforming. veu, that's index of nine u.s. stocks and above our 8% this year doubling what the s&p has done and to me being american is trying to make a buck and i'm looking at foreign stocks particularly because they're doing really well. stuart: america first, okay. but make money primarily. i got it, jonathan. always bringing us an exotic investment. i shares smci china small cap etf. the symbol is ecns. basically this is an etf of small cap chinese stocks; right? >> almost, stuart. it's pronounced china, not china. that's something i learned but you're right, small cap chinese stocks trading at nine times earnings, about a quarter of what the s&p 500 is. stuart, when china was liberalizing and free in your economy and moving towards more open markets and their market was rocking so that's what i hope. more liberalization and more

capitalization and some of these emerging markets like china and watch the stocks soar. stuart: do you trust the financial results published by chinese companies? >> i trust price stuart ask you know price is primary type of guy. if i buy stock at 50 at 45 or 30 i'm looking to take a loss. i'm looking to limit my losses but it's all about price and the price for a lot of these chinese stocks in particular this week, they're moving up. that's a good sign. china small cap stocks. now this, jason was a top economist with president obama and he's calling out bidenomics. arkly, what's he saying? ashley: well, he wrote an opportunistic ed calling the economic policies a "tragedy". oh dear. the economist said the biden economy fell short of the goals and frustrated bidenflation and

partly induced by the administration's own policies. in particular, ferman took issue with the student loan bailout and price controls to curve inflation and lower prices and more damaging is criticizing biden for stoking inflation with unnecessary spending while minimizing the suffering it caused and also touting an imaginary boom in instrategies structure and manufacturing. ouch. stu. stuart: sounds like a republican. thanks so much, ashley. got you, all right. elon musk took the stage at cpac with a gift he received from argentina's president. >> this is the chain saw for bureaucracy. chain saw! stuart: we'll have more on musk's surprise appearance and

exchange from rare earth minerals for a security guarantee. take a listen. >> look, here's the bottom line, president zelensky is going to sign that deal, and you will see that in the very short term, and that is good for ukraine. what better could you have for ukraine than to be in a economic partnership with the united states? >> on thursday, billionaire tech executive elon musk generated quite a spectacle as he was hand that had chainsaw talking about what he's doing to cut waste in his eyes in the government and told the crowd there's plenty of waste to cut. >> the waste is over -- how can you find waste in dc? i'm like, like, it's like being in the room and the wall, roof and floor are all targets. reporter: weariness heard from waltz today and special envoy rick purnel and byron donalds

industrial cam lex and splashing spespending and line items that need deleted are higher studies on racism. at leadership institutes campus reform we've exposed that universities spent over $3 million studying antiracism healing in nature -- stuart: hold on a second, emily. embedded racism impacts babies in the womb. what? >> all the way back in the womb. researchers at georgia state university spend over $2 million studying that. studying outrebounded embedded racism starts all the way back in the womb. stuart: racism and heart problems. >> racism and heart problems, racism and alcohol, racism and hurricane harvey. bottom line here. the federal government shouldn't be subsidizing this nonsense and college student are being strapped with debt and learning this in the classroom. americans are footing the bill for these dei studies that are taxpayer funded racism. stuart: you've exposed it.

is it continuing? >> i have exposed t and i hope that doge takes that chainsaw to this and i've spent weeks going line by line looking at funding and i think elon musk should look into hiring me next, but we're very excited to expose this at the leadership institutes campus reform because universities need to stop treating federal tax dollars like monopoly money. we need to stop what's happening. stuart: my head is explode state of georgia i'm going to move on. vice president vance went after woke culture. he shared his message with young men at cpac. watch this. >> my message to young men is don't allow this broken culture to send you a message that you're a bad person because you're a man. because you like to tell a joke. because you like to have a beer with your friends or because you're competitive. there are culture message is i think it wants to turn everybody into -- whether male or female

it's very healthy to have a young man serving in the white house, vance being a millennial in the white house, having this positive message is resinating with my generation and this country as a whole. stuart: i haven't heard anything like this in a long, long time. emily sturge, thank you for being with us this morning. come back any time you like. thank you very much. good stuff. >> thank you. stuart: coming up, trump is considering giving out doge dividend checks. democrat congresswoman jasmine crockett doesn't like that idea. >> we are not in the business of giving out money and honestly, i don't know what $5,000 will do for you. stuart: i have some idea. more on crockett's comments coming up for you. listen to this, slamming the biden admin vagues politicized justice department. he's showering praise on trump and the republican party calling them more reasonable to work with. is this a ploy to give him a

racing to send gold bars from europe to new york. some of that is coming over on commercial flights. lydia hu joining us this morning. what's behind the gold rush, lydia? reporter: good morning there, stuart. there's a couple of things we have concerns october early intervention program fellation and concerns about tariffs that's sending demand for gold absolutely soaring and banks are rushing to bring gold in from london into the united states to meet that demand. we can thank a company called dylan gauge for making it incredible stash of this massachusetts of gold bars available for us. they store gold for individuals and banks and banks are trying to make as much gold available in the united states as possible. listen here.

>> everybody must make the uncle baseball games that are the biggest gold in the united states, we're trying to beat the tariffs to the punch. not knowing what was going to happen and going to accommodate the expected demand going to be. that's where they're traded and how exactly is the gold being transported from london in the form of butler joined gold bars and loaded onto airplanes and transported by armored trucks and put into depositories in the united states and 4 owns gold bars and 100 ounces and a kilogram. to illustrate the runup in the prices, stuart, 400-ounce bar worth $1.1 and $1.2 million by today's pricing. about a year ago, closer to $800,000. talking about transporting this

gold, it's being literally loaded onto airplanes and larger bars are sometimes even in smaller bars like this kilogram that you can see right here smaller than my iphone a and easily put onto an airplane and even pocket and worth $100,000 by today's pricing. stuart, i think i'm going to leave and put this in my back pocket. may or may not see you back at work. stuart: good to know. first interview in prison, disgraced ftx cofounder sam bankman-fried is trying to cozy up to president trump and elon musk, watch. >> it's incredibly destructive and difficult to work with. and i think it's far more reasonable and you saw zuckerberg express some of that. they had similar frustrations trying to work with the biden

administration they've been in the news recently for i tussles with trump's doj and my judge as well, you know, i had judges in terms of prosecutorial deals, and in terms of politicization of the doj and over the last decade and speeding up recently. stuart: well, anthony pompliano joining us this morning. is sam bankman-fried looking around for a pardon? >> i don't know what he's trying to do, but whatever administration switch, we see this all the time as people want to get cozy with whoever is in power and whoever is in the current administration, what i do think is that most business people are playing both sides and playing both sides of political aisle. does that mean they'll get a pardon and get what they want? probably not but it's very fascinating to see the tune change after years of hearing

something different from the leaders. >> elections make differences and more. stuart: coin base passing the cryptoregulation right now and that's coin base. what kind of regulation does the crypto industry really want? what's at the core of regulation that you want to see? >> there's a ton of stuff and not able to cover it all. a couple of very easy things are one, people want a clear frame work for all the organizations launching coins and what's allowed and not allowed and how should they be treated? second thing is etf. there's staking available and yield generation and they can't do that with etfs and people like that to occur. and third is banks and can't issue a stable coin and use like cash and moving to a digital world and you want stable coins to be used inside of the financial system and u used in emerging markets and that's a big deal. and maybe the fourth thing and probably to me one of the most important things is if you go

and buy capitol gains tax and trading as financial asset and hit with a capital gains tax and using to buy goods or services, shouldn't be required to pay that capital gains tax. stuart: i go out for a steak and pay with crypto and pay capital gains tax and i cashed out crypto. going for profit. >> correct, buy dinner for dollars and buy the meal and tip the pater or waitress and good to go. you pay capital gains tax and looked at as problem and changing that would be a big boom. boom. stuart: it's got to become a currency. >> i would argue it is a currency. stuart: a lot of people would. you don't want to see just anybody like president trump issuing coins; right? you don't want that. >> correct. i think bitcoin is the king here and it's going to continue to be the leader and everything else is essentially a tech stock and they're trading that way and being evaluate that had way and

going to be securities and people saying tell me the rules and i'll operate within that and clarify they're after more so than trying to fit in the difference. stuart: trump is crypto friendly. think you'll get the regulation you're looking at soon? >> i think a lot is going to change for the positive for the industry. i think that we'll get the strategic bitcoin reserve and a lot of rule changes because president trump and his administration really understands the stuff. stuart: if we got that, would bitcoin go up? >> getting clarify from regulation standpoint and more people interested in buying it. i think the single most important thing for bitcoin price going up is the united states going to buy bitcoin? we now know other countries are and abu dhabi sovereign wealth fund bought about $500 million worth of bitcoin and so when you see other countries buying bitcoin and gets exposure, the united states doesn't want to get left behind and we should be a leader there. stuart: does anybody in congress have a bill they're putting forward? >> they do.

senator cynthia lumis in particular and has a bill to establish the strategic bitcoin reserve and there's a lot of people supporting her. stuart: anthony pompliano, thank you for joining us many thorning. >> thank you. stuart: democrat congresswoman jasmine crockett is slamming elon musk proposed doge dividend checks. ashley, we put this on the program earlier today blue do it again. tell us what she's talking about. ashley: i think is wants it and americans shouldn't be getting a refund from savings dug out by doge and those savings don't exist she says. >> listen, he's tell ago lie. right now they're going to say hey, we want to give you a refund but congress won't let us because they already know that there's just no money for that so no, we're not in the business of giving out money and honestly i don't know what $5,000 will do

for you. ashley: well, i would like to try. $5,000 may be nothing to members of congress but taxpayers would love to have some of their hard earned money back rather than being wasted in washington on pet projects like funding drag shows in ecuador. ridiculous. back to you. stuart: you've got a point there, ash. thank you very much indeed. what are the odds that massive space rock strikes our planet? nasa scientist hads a lot to say about one particular asteroid been getting too close for comfort. bring you their full analysis. canada beat america in the four nations faceoff hockey game and overtime thriller. canada's prime minister justin trudeau reacted to the victory posting a fiery message to the united states. we'll tell you what he said, next. ♪

chances of a collision will drop as more details are revealed but if the asteroid collided with earth, could cause an explosion in the atmosphere or create an impact crater. both possibilities would likely cause devastating damage on the ground though not enough we're told for it to be a mass extinction event. i'm still not very comforted by that. stuart: i'm really relieved it's not a mass curbty event. ashley: yeah, same. stuart: you and i respond to viewer's friday feedback, and that is next. ♪ business. it's not a nine-to-five proposition.

work every day planning and informing us with important developments for three hours. what do you do beside sleep on your day's off? that's easy, premier league soccer. how about you, ash? ashley: absolutely. i mean, you know, it's incredible how much premier league -- i was going to say football, soccer is on tv. god bless the networks here. you can watch every dame. i love it. stuart: me too. i don't play golf or any hobbies and in front of the tv set, premier league soccer. that's my bag. we have a lot of e-mails about madison alworth's snow boarding report from the ski slopes in vermont. roger says i vote for a big ray raise for madison from reporting on a show board without miss -- snow board without missing a word. that's true. she was coming down the slopes well. madelynn wrote, hi, totally enjoyed a snow boarding report from madison from vermont. william says very, very impressive presentation, so accomplished. all true, ashley.

she came down that long, long snow boarding. you can see it. didn't miss a beat and seemed like it went on forever. just curving down the slopes there. ashley: oh. stuart: i've never been snow boarding and never going to go snow boarding because i'm worried about breaking my hip. how about you, ash? ashley: i haven't. i've skied quite a bit but that was one of the best reporting i've seen in a long time. not only madison unflapable and very talented, but the guy on the camera whoever was doing the camera work was absolutely perfect and the signal stayed strong through the whole thing. very impressive. stuart: this is coming to us from james. i think ashley webster would make an acceptable oo7. you're athletic and young and have a british accent. what's wrong with that? ashley: thank you very much. will you be my agent, stu? stuart: oh, yes. absolutely. yes. for 10%, yes. guaranteed. ashley: bond, james bond.
