the scam also extended to citibank and bank of america accounts. citibank denied her claims, stating in part, it appears that you fell victim to a fraudulent scheme over which citibank has no control and we are unable to reimburse you for the transactions since we found that no bank error occurred and bank of america sent khomeini a letter saying it would look into her fraud claim and asked her to sign what's called a scam victim acknowledgment, which her family tells me they're not comfortable doing. based on the fine print. khomeini and her family at a big loss, hoping this happens to nobody else. i just wish that they don't. these people should not do that to anybody. it's our old age and we need the money. we can't work. we and we. that's the only only money we have. in concord gia vang nbc, bay area news. bank of america denied kemény's claim. we're learning there are new laws attempting to have banks intervene in some way for possible senior scam victims. just like this. for example, a florida law allows a bank to delay a transaction and noti

. >> on top of that, citibank, this is an account at citibank charged us a $15,000 overdraft fee.o say i reached out to citibank and they have refunded the overdraft fee. >> that's many of them. >> better believe we're going to keep fighting to get every penny. but you still $5 million. don't have the money to us. >> i mean, so this was again, this was this service, this sort of pot of money was negotiated by members of the house and senate. it was put into legislation. that legislation was signed by president biden. it's being spent this year. right. >> we have a contract. you have a contract. >> you say, we're going to do this, we're gonna pay you that. that's the law. do you? it is. is it your position that they are within their legal authority to. >> simply they have no legal authority to take it back? i think two different ways. attorney general tish james is in court on a lawsuit around the federal funding freeze, and a rhode island judge said they can't do that. but also we have a contract. so one thing i'm very upset about is that same mayor adams that was on your a block,

moore: i went to citibank. spent close to five years working for citi doing investment banking, m&a and technology. david: you did that a number of years and then organization came along called robinhood and they said we want you to head it up. what is robinhood and why did you take the job? gov. moore: it's one of the nation's largest poverty fighting organizations. it started over 30 years ago and with an initial idea of saying what if you could take analytics and data, the same way we take analytics and data when we make trading decisions and we are buying companies, and put that toward the poverty fight? david: after four years at robin hood, you run for governor of maryland, never having run for anything else before. gov. moore: never. david: did you think you had a chance? gov. moore: the data didn't show i had a chance. i was polling 1% in our first pole. literally i am not voting was pulling higher than wes moore. i was running against statewide elected officials, the former head of the dnc, two cabinet

up by people in the past few days as soon as they return to their homes in northern part of the citibank, gaza city, where more of their own work, or, or their own work, people took the matter in their hands. it goes 10 stars supposed to be arriving here to help them surviving. these difficult conditions did not arrive, so the build their own using whatever available from the wood, from plastic, from denial loan and build these a small make shift to help them and their families and then provide them with, with the shoulder as their reign continues to, uh, do the slow, it's just difficult to see how much longer people can take it with the people. literally, particularly children running in the streets with their birth speed. no, no, no shoes on, no warm it close. and this is a big increasing the risk of them catching hyper 30 me, i like what, what happened in the, in the past few weeks ago, a lot of the close to 7 of children died of hypothermia. and this cold weather is a threatening more of a children and particularly other vulnerable group, a group like elderly and women with and other

but the citibank accounts where this money was held, has that money itself been now frozen?ere actual fraud, do you think, in these payments or was it just the usual nonsense they were pulling at the end of an administration? entire scheme set up is fraud, it's wasteful. it is abuse. we just had another example come out over the last 24 hours where $5 billion went to another recipient. that person was the director of the greenhouse gas reduction fund, he comes from this fund, joins the biden administration, becomes the director of the greenhouse gas reduction fund and then gave $5 billion to his recently left former employer. that sounds like self-dealing. that sounds like a conflict of interest. and the other problem is that all of this money was put up up front. it wasn't like there was performance. you show performance and then you ask for the next tranche. it was here's $20 billion. it was going to their friends on the left as opposed to making sure that the money is going directly towards the purpose that you allegedly said this money was needed for in the first place.

malik was really one instrumental in bringing her over and a six month leave of absence for her from citibankinto two years with the administration and we have a picture think of which you may have seen before already of barbara franklin in with fred malik in, the oval office. i think on her first day on the job with nixon and there it is. and then there's another picture which i think is from the same period of nixon in the oval office with some of his high level women appointees and i think of the particularly of the force on women's rights and responsible ladies. yep. and then there's one in the this is from 1969. and then there's one from 1972. i think in the rose garden of a number of of the high level women appointees and. one of the so moving along thank you abby will come will have any questions for abby. the in terms of actual policy and legislation nixon approached women's issues largely partly and largely through the rubric of civil rights. and so, dean, can you talk us talk to us about and that includes the equal rights amendment, the appointment of a to the supreme court. affirma

just four big banks, bank of america, jp morgan, wells fargo and citibank accounted for half of all the cfpb. donald trump was onto a reality problem when he criticized bank of america for its debanking practicing. cheryl: all right, mark. >> wow. cheryl: yes, she's agreeing with donald trump. but what's interesting though is remember that the banks are denying this. >> yeah. cheryl: and we had congressman dan meuser on last hour and he said the problem isn't the banks. this is coming from the fdic. that's where the pressure under joe biden came on top of the banks. we have a lot of questions, we don't have a lot of answers. >> ho hopefully elon gets thrh the fdic and gets that corrected as well. obviously, it's not he'll call o be debanking anyone. how do you expect them to buy things? go back to a barter economy and trading pigs for corn. it's not feasible. it's not realistic. cheryl: melania trump told maria in october that she was debanked. final thoughts before you run. >> just the federal government's trying to enforce the anti-money laundering rules and it's much better for them

kudlow about the $20 billion in taxpayer money that a biden's aides secretly squirreled away at citibank through a web, a america of nonif profits -- a network of nonprofits run by democrats including $2 billion that that went to stacey abrams' nonprofit. biden's top director running biden's biggest slush fund, he oversaw the $27 billion greenhouse gas reduction fund, he allegedly approved a $5 billion giveaway of your money to his former employer, the coalition for green capital, where he had work with the as director of policy. let's get right to congressman pat fallon from house oversight. this just gets worse and worse, congressman. what's your reaction to this one in. >> just outrage and disgusted. this is a revolving door, and what we're seeing is the biden administration made sure that that their far-left allies got billions, tens of billions of taxpayer dollars, and then they give them, they further distribute it to their far-left friends who then when it comes to campaign time makes sure they give donations to the democrat so they could feed at the trough one more time. it has a

well, except for citibank and pnc, also j.p. morgan and comerica. [ laughter ] you know what?w on i'm just going to use the man as sort of a reverse wikipedia. [ laughter ] as soon as he says something, i'll just know it's not true. [ laughter according to a new report, elon musk's team at the department of government efficiency is being run by six engineers, all men, between the ages of 19 and 24. i got to say -- [ light laughter ] -- it's not great that all of our sensitive government information is in the hands of guys who can be bribed with tacos and side boob. [ laughter ] after signing an executive order imposing tariffs on canadian, mexican, and chinese imports, president trump posted on truth social over the weekend, quote, "will there be some pain? yes. maybe and maybe not." well. [ laughter ] i'm reassured. are you? [ laughter ] are you president or a strip mall dentist? [ laughter ] president trump imposed a 25% tariff over the weekend on goods coming from canada, including honey, whisky, and peanut butter, or as rudy giuliani calls it, my morning smoothie.

goldman sachs, you buy the sell off and citibank i think gets to 90 before it gets to 75. >> it's the 9475 right. banks are down. let's get back to walmart walmart stock having a bad day down about 7% walmart telling investors that profit growth likely to slow this year. in fact, walmart was the worst performing stock in the dow today, at least on a percentage basis. how justified was this pullback, dan on walmart when? let's be clear, walmart is pretty known for setting the bar low so that they can beat the bar later. >> yeah. and you know. >> what bar. >> rallied a lot i mean this stock doubled in the last year right. and so it's trading at value. we talked about it last night before the print. it's trading at valuations that a lot of retail investors you know had probably a difficult time you know digesting. but the stock kept on working and working and it kept on working relative to a lot of its competition. and when you think about it, more than half their sales come from grocery. and there's some interesting dynamics as it relates to inflation and the sort of folks that were com

although citibank has gone out of its way to kind of say that it is going to continue to do that, ande a way to hire away some. >> they didn't spend $1 billion to build a gorgeous new building on park avenue that they need. >> to fill. >> good luck with that. >> i'm willing to talk about the four day thing. yeah. for us, we can have that discussion. >> we can have that discussion. >> everybody we can have that discussion. >> for everybody. >> i'm not talking three, talking. >> four or. >> talking four. >> not going crazy. not going nuts. >> i know we i know we got to go. and this is they're going to say this is frivolous. >> if you could how is this frivolous. >> if you could pick one day. yeah. monday or friday. monday or friday or is it wednesday? right. >> i'd have. >> to think about it, because. >> other times i've thought i'd like to. i'd like to pay my dues the first week and then have the monday off. other times i'm thinking i really like. but fridays are my favorite days anyway, even though we have worked. so maybe the monday, you know, then there wouldn't be. >> but then tues

we are 15% on jp morgan, little bit more on citibank. sentiment holding up.iting and waiting for activity to follow in the months to come. lisa: a lot of people expect until we get some certainty. already, at the same time if they don't come and erika was just talking about this you can't see the follow-through. that really justifies current valuations. annmarie: how do you expect certainty from an administration that wants to use uncertainty? it wants to keep allies and adversaries on their toes when it comes to things like trade and tariffs. trump has an idea of where they want things to go. he's not sharing that with everyone. jonathan: i think we could all sit here and agree the regulatory burden is not going to get bigger when it comes to the financials. we could all sit here and say m&a domestically should be easier, not harder. a whole bunch of reasons as to why people are buying these banks right now. lisa: there's no reason right now to believe these deals will not go through. if the uncertainty persists, people might have to think that. if you close

those five kids going into treasury, it would be like giving five kids the opportunity to go into citibankcount information and then delegate to elon musk. the decision is about whether you get your money back or the payments are made. so it's an astonishing delegation by the president to a person who's not elected and not accountable to congress. and my view, that should be upsetting to republicans as well as the democrats. it's not what they call small government. >> i get the sense that you have not heard back complaints from the republicans. or are they just are they complaining and not willing to say it publicly? >> i would say the latter. i think they're the republicans always worried about trump and how far he'll go. but they also know that right now trump has a real grip on their base, and they're apprehensive about what are the political consequences if we speak out too much. >> if this turns out to hurt people in your state, as you say around the country, average americans who potentially voted for trump, too, i mean, wouldn't it seem like that would solve itself if there's pushb
