and that's the wall street journal editorial page, mika. ump said yesterday, trying to blame vladimir putin's ruthless invasion, the largest land invasion in europe since adolf hitler. trying to blame that on actually the victims of that invasion. >> we'll get to the new york post in just a moment. we want to get to. richard engel. >> who has. >> a tight window. >> but here's what the wall. >> street journal. >> editorial board was reacting to. president trump blaming ukraine for russia's invasion nearly three years ago. >> he made the comments yesterday. >> after reporters pressed. >> him on ukrainian. >> officials not being. >> involved in the. >> diplomatic talks. >> between the. u.s. and russia in saudi arabia. >> i hear that, you know, they're upset about not having a seat. well, they've had a seat for three years and a long time before that. this could have been settled very easily, just a half a half baked negotiator could have settled this years ago without, i think, without the loss of much land, very little land without the loss of

it's a wall street journal story. it's their exclusive months long reporting. p. want to make sure the full statement from unitedhealth group is read, even though it's a wall street journal story, here's the statement. the wall street journal continues to report misinformation on the medicare advantage ma program. the government regularly reviews all medicare advantage plans to ensure compliance, and we consistently perform at the industry's highest levels on those reviews. we are not aware of the launch of any new activity as reported by the journal. we are aware, however, that the journal has engaged in a year long campaign to defend, i guess, a legacy system that rewards volume over keeping patients healthy and addressing their underlying conditions. any suggestion that our practices are fraudulent is outrageous and false. it is the full statement false. it is the full statement from good morning. dad, what is this? how many did you post? they're all from last night. it's going to go viral. and then you're not going to be so upset. don't forget to like and su

[video clip] pres. trump: i also strongly believe that the gaza strip, which has been a symbol of death and destruction for decades and so bad for the people anywhere near it, especially those who live there, and, frankly, who has been really very unlucky, it has been a unlucky place for a long time, being in its presence has not been good, and it should not go through the process of rebuilding and occupation by the same people that have really stood there and fought for it and lived there and died there, and lived a miserable existence there, instead

and he. >> said. >> sometimes they don't agree with the wall street journal editorial page. today would be one of those days as well, because, of course, the wall street journal editorial page, like most economists and people that read the wall street journal, have. have long been opposed to the idea of tariffs. and so, in its latest editorial titled trump blinks on north american tariffs, that editorial board writes in part this if north american leaders need to cheer. about a minor deal so they can. all claim victory, that's better for everyone. the need is especially important for mr. trump, given how much he boasted that tariffs are a foolproof diplomatic weapon against friend or foe. mr. trump can't afford to look like the guy who lost. mexican president claudia. >> sheinbaum. >> in particular, seems to recognize this, and so far she's playing her trump cards with skill. none of this means the tariffs are some genius power play, as the trump media chorus is boosting, writes the wall street journal editorial page. certainly about other people within their own media conglo

this market reaction or concern about. >> i've been right over the wall street journal many times. i will tell you that i don't agree with him on some things. the wall street journal is wrong because very simply, every single country that you're writing about right now is dying to make a deal. >> brad todd, how do you look at all of this? >> well, get used to this. get used to tariffs being a key part of donald trump's foreign policy agenda. and the truth is, for most of our history, they've been a key part of our foreign policy agenda. i put all these three tariffs in three very separate buckets. the china tariffs are part of a long term disentanglement. and you'll remember in his first term donald trump put tariffs on chinese aluminum and steel. democrats and many people in the news media freaked out. and then joe biden kept those tariffs in place. this is part of we pntr was a mistake. we all know it. we all realize it. and it's going to take a long time to undo it. there's one more step in it. the tariffs on mexico i think are legitimate negotiating tactic. we cannot secure our

[laughter] i've been right over "the wall street journal" many times, i will tell you.'t agree with him on some things. howard: but when the president wages this tariff war and sometimes gets concessions, do you think the average person sees him as a fighting for us? >> well, it's so funny the hear anyone describe this as successful deal making by donald trump because, ultimately, what did canada and mexico do? canada said they'd appoint a fentanyl czar. that that probably costs are little. how much does opening an office for a fentanyl czar even cos maybe a million bucks a year if we're being generous in who knows? but the idea that trump can take a victory lap on this is ridiculous, and we don't have data to suggest this is what the electorate voted for. this is a complicated issue. we have a lot of data and polling back to to suggest this is actually not manager that has widespread support, and that's why even media entities that are often thought of as allies to the free market, political class, to people like president trump are calling this out. so this is trump's

it is in the wall street journal so you have wall street journal readers but you have them on saturdayorning when everybody is relaxed and having a cup of coffee and it's nice and they write to me. i have been around so long, people have my email address. i have my original aol address and they write to me there. they give me their opinion and agree or disagree. host: can you be anonymous on the streets of new york? guest: yes, often, although it is the best of both worlds. movie fame is the kind of mega fame you cannot escape. television fame is a kind of mega fame. if you are a writer and -- in a newspaper in a magazine, you will show up sometimes on talk shows. people will often recognize you but it is not mega. it's not like seeing a movie star so nobody bothers you. and the people who do come up and say hello are normally just longtime readers and you have fabulous conversations with them. and once i was walking with my son in central park on a pretty sunday in the spring or summer and somebody came by and talked to me about my work and said, you know, i'm so glad you do what you

what do you make of this "wall street journal" headline?roduce more oil, that pricethat is not high enough and not enough oil left. >> this is more people underestimating president trump. looks wins he had in his first two weeks in office. you take a look at you know colombia folding, mexico folding, he wrote the art of deal 30 plus years ago and learned a lot in last 30 years. and certainly, there san opportunity here, in united states, we're -- we have some highest regulatory costs that is gone up under climate extremism under biden, we start tearing down the regulatory rules. the lack of taking years or never getting drilling permits, department of interior controls 25 percent. and joe biden was not -- did not issue a permit. he was first president in since harry truman not issues permits it is against the law what he did. we can open opportunities for lower cost production, and cut it l through cutting red tape, and last week chevron made a big announcement, say we'll get into electric production with natural gas, we have awe have an oi

he gave an interview to the wall street journal and said that all options are open. that is, is too early to talk about specific areas in ukraine. but of course, you know, terry, we are here in germany and only a little more than a week away from the german elections and at least the german politicians. and the also, the german audience definitely really watched very carefully. if j defense will interfere in the german election by supporting the far right party, a se, he also told the wall street journal that he recommends to german polity leaders that they should be open to work together with the a the, with the parties degree part of the cd you and the s p d as for now, of course that said they bought. and so this, uh, this is a topic from a german perspective and from an engine us put in an international perspective. it definitely will be ukraine. mikaela of lake mass, germany's conservative opposition leader and chancellor candidate has suggested that this security conference will be hugely consequential. do we know what he's talking about there? exactly. this is

i disagree with him a lot of times with the wall street journal, but it's all right.nd i'm sure they didn't have any idea what the

"the wall street journal" had called this the dumbest trade war in history.enior political correspondent rachel scott at the white house tonight. >> reporter: tonight, after feverish last-minute talks, a truce in the looming trade war. late tonight, after two phone calls with canadian prime minister justin trudeau, president trump announcing the hefty 25% tariffs he threatened are now on pause, just hours before they were scheduled to go into effect. it came after a morning call with the president of mexico. when trump agreed to pause tariffs on that country's goods, as well. trump's threats sent markets tumbling overnight and into the morning, as economists warned the tariffs would send prices soaring for american consumers and everything from groceries to cars to electronics. >> i'm not -- we may have short-term -- some little pain, and people understand that, but long-term, the united states has been ripped off by virtually every country in the world. >> reporter: both countries had vowed to retaliate, and canada, american sports teams booed during the nat

those tariffs have drawn a lot of controversy, including an editorial board editorial by the wall street journal, which called them the dumbest trade war in history with rupert murdoch, whose company, news corp owns the wall street journal, fox news, hundreds of other media outlets standing right there, and the president smiling and saying a couple of times, i don't always agree with the wall street journal, but the fact of the matter is, we did get some new information, including the fact that he spoke with prime minister justin trudeau earlier today about the canadian tariffs and said, we don't need canadian cars, lumber or agriculture. but the fact of the matter is that general motors and some other u.s. carmakers make about 40% of their cars in canada and mexico. they also use parts from around the world. so there's that question as far as lumber. anybody involved in the building trades will tell you that the us is heavily dependent on canadian lumber and finally, agriculture. the us imports $40 billion of beef, pork, grains, other agricultural products. so the questions remain about what th

we are going to pay more for everything, "the wall street journal" says so, we don't trust "the wall street journal" as "wall street journal" as economists here. >> harris: we will see. the incentive for those countries to have businesses come here as you go from 28 to 15% of attacks if you not only do business here, that will take you 22, but you get to 15 because you are going to build and build in american jobs here. we don't know, maybe that phone call has a lot of sweetness to it. >> marie: those companies -- >> harris: that prime minister is going out the door, you don't know what kind of deal he will go. >> marie: they will go to china, not mexico, not here. that's what's going to happen pair we will watch together. >> emily: what is also going to happen is we will move on to a new topic next. protesters against donald trump's effort to keep her border safe to the streets. waving mexican flags and burning an american one. [screaming] just to see if you qualify for a home loan. yet, some lenders charge you hundreds of dollars in upfront fees just to apply. they keep your money e

i actually rare moment agree with the wall street journal that trump got rolled here.the supposed wins that he's trumpeting and his press secretary is trumpeting were already in place. i mean, you guys have reported on this as well. these were agreed to in the previous administration. what gets lost in this is the impact on the american people, especially on the china tariffs. you were reporting on it earlier in an earlier segment. it's really important. look, my constituents, the number one, number one, two and three concern of folks in the hudson valley of new york is affordability. tariffs will undoubtedly drive up costs. you shared some of those numbers earlier and people are living paycheck to paycheck. this is the opposite of what trump ran on and what the american people want. and my job is to stand up and fight against that and remind people, you know, whether it's going after agencies or introducing tariffs. these aren't theoretical things. these are going to hurt the american people. and that should us all off. and i think we're starting to see the american p

all the more important, getting all the more attention after what he just told the wall street journal, which is that the u.s. could use sending troops to ukraine as a quote, unquote, tool of leverage if russia failed to negotiate in good faith. now, some people are reading that as meaning u.s. troops going to ukraine is on the table, even though the defense secretary has said the exact opposite. hence, there is confusion that needs to be clarified. vance jd vance, the vice president, will also be meeting with ukraine's president zelenskyy today, who just said that he does not believe the united states has a ready made plan to end russia's war. and there's also this with regard to the ongoing actual war, a drone attack at chernobyl nuclear site. radiation levels are now being monitored. ukraine blaming russia, with president zelenskyy saying this, that it shows, quote, putin is definitely not preparing for negotiations. he's preparing to continue deceiving the world. cnn's alayna treene is at the white house for us. let's go to cnn's alex marquardt, who is in munich for us this morning

based on the wall street journal's reporting.here's an incentive in the program to get patients diagnosed and manage the health care patients more aggressively, and they're paid for doing that. and so, you know, health insurers have responded to that by implementing these systems that prompt physicians to look for these diagnoses, code for them, and then bill for them. >> doctor, just real quick, you know, obviously, a lot of people are going to relate this in their mind to the murder of by mangione. and, and what that's all about. how do you how do you think about that in terms of this investigation as it relates to that? and i don't even know where to go with this. >> yeah, i don't think about it. i think that was a violent crime. it has no bearing on this by someone who seems to be deranged, quite frankly. you know, this is completely separate, this these are billing practices that result from the policies that medicare has put into place. and that's not to absolve united health care of potentially gaming these systems. but we

let's get to the markets, dominated this morning by a "wall street journal" report that the department of justice is investigating some medicare billing practices. health insurance insurers, way down led by unitedhealth which is a very important dow stock. that's why the dow trillions, the futures there, show what is it now, a 250-point decline. by the way, united health pushes the dow down 400 points, so without unitedhealth, the dow would be in the green. as is the s&p, up 4 and the nasdaq up 90. bitcoin moving a bit closer to $100,000, you're at 99,3 as we speak. the 10-year treasury yield still right at 4.5%. as for the 2-year, till right around 4.25%, 4.28 this morning. oil, i've got $71.8 per barrel. gas, no change. $3.16 is. diesel at $3.69. gold, still shy of $3,000 the an ounce, $2, 946. >>> politics. a win for the president. the senate votes in favor of the $340 billion budget blueprint. there's a lot more money for the border in this bill, but it's just procedural. now the house has to vote on its big, beautiful bill that extends trump's tax cuts. at some point heavy got to

coming up, the "wall street journal" reporter who broke the story is here. she's going to give us the very latest. and if we will get reaction from one of the most successful portfolio managers in the u.s., dan nice. he is warning -- dan niles. he is warning not just to to stay away from tesla, but from all the a mag 7 names. doesn't mean he doesn't have tech picks. in the meantime, dow is now up 134 points. joining me now, slatestone wealth chief market strategist kenny polcari and scott shellady. well, gentlemen, the markets are mixed here under the new steel tariffs, but energy prices clearly jumping here. we can look at, you know, light sweet crude, we can look at nat gas. everything's moving higher in the aftermarket. light sweet is up above $73 a barrel. and then we've got this breaking this afternoon a, ford ceo jim farley is hot-footing it to washington, d.c. tomorrow to warn congress that the mexico and canada tariffs that are looming would, quote, blow a hole in the u.s. auto industry. so let me start with you, scott. how cautious does that make yo

host: it is a headline in the wall street journal from your reporting. trump's school choice agenda hits pushback from red state voters. what did you find out? guest: a lot of red states have passed school choice initiatives which typically means some sort of public funding or public subsidy for private schooling and in some cases, homeschooling. that has passed in red state legislated -- legislators across the country. however, it was recently -- similar initiatives were recently put up for a vote in kentucky and nebraska and voters in these very red states, even as they were electing president trump in 2024, voted down private school choice efforts. and that caught a lot of people by surprise and it suggests that at least in these couple states, nebraska and kentucky, there is a disconnect between what the red state voters want and what -- and what some of the officials are pushing. >> let's hear from you. >> good morning. my question was why. everybody is talking about education. they are speaking of the 25th -- i suggest they start looking at the 25t

host: we are back this morning with matt barnum, of the k-12 education reporter at the wall street journal here to talk about this headline. trump advisors away plan to dismantle education department. matt barnum tell us about your reporting. what did you learn. guest: what my colleagues and i reported earlier this week is the trump administration officials are weighing executive orders at dismantling the u.s. department of education. it is consistent with the campaign promise he made to end the department. we don't know when or if for sure they will be issued or what they will say. this is still in flux but we are reporting they are considering an order that would shut down all functions of the agency that aren't explicitly written into the statute and considering in order to come up with a legislative proposal to abolish the department. host: why is it that they would have to come up with a legislative proposal and why is it they can only eliminate those parts that are not written in statute? guest: because there is a lot the department does and the departments existence itself that are

and as one does, i published my resignation letter in the wall street journal and announced my move to the manhattan. on tucker carlson show on fox. and you know i didn't for this but i've been using the platform that i've been given to shine a light on the rot in academia live not lies warned solzhenitsyn let the lie come into the world. let it even triumph, not through me. and that's my mantra. in fall of that year, 2022, when justice thomas withdrew from teaching at gw, it was just one more example of the poisonous atmosphere in academia that makes it impossible to have a free exchange of ideas. gw administrators rightly noted that, you know, he shouldn't be fired or canceled for his vote to overturn roe v wade. but the fact that they needed to make that statement showed, how they'd failed to instill a culture of open inquiry and truth seeking. it's a shame that thomas felt the need to withdraw and a stark contrast to what was going on at harvard, celebrating return of justice breyer. now, i'm generally optimistic about america with brett kavanaugh. i live on the sunrise side of the

you wrote an op-ed in the "wall street journal."at home want a sovereign in america. >> it preservative wealth. in alaska's case it's wealth that comes from oil and minerals. and it preservative it for the future generations. our sovereign wealth fund called the alaska progress fund is worth $80 billion. anticipated to hit $100 billion by 2031. and it was started back in 1976 because we had some enlightened legislators and governor that foresaw if we didn't save some of that money for future generations oil money in particular, that wealth would be gone. as a result, we have the second largest fund in the world per cap attachment we only have 740,000 people in alaska. we have $80 billion fund. and this fund helps pay dividends to the people of alaska but also helps fund government as well that fund continues to grow. again, using using mineral wealth that the president can find on various federal lands including blm lands save for future generations. >> carley: critics say winners and losers and the federal government will choose to

[applause] it's not just the wall street journal.epublican politicians have long opposed tariffs. check out this viral clip from a famed socialist snowflake. >> our peaceful trading partners are not our enemies. they are our allies. we should beware of the declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world, all while cynically waving the american flag." >> stephen: damn! ronald reagan from the grave! and boom go the jellybeans! [applause] and boom go the jellybeans! he was actually even more explicit in this famous moment. >> "mr. gorbachev, donald trump sucks ass. [cheers and applause] is that thunder? to be completely fair, donald trump did campaign on these tariffs. he said i love tariffs, tariffs are great, he said tariff is the most beautiful world in the englis language. but evidently, no one knew what that meant. because recently, google searches for "tariff" saw a 2,400% bump, reaching a 21-year high in weekly google searches. they don't even know what they voted f

now, again, the wall street journal reports on a staffer who until today had been okayed to review sensitive treasury information. this is how the journal reports it in their lead paragraph, a key doge staff member who gained access to the treasury department's central payment system resigned thursday after he was linked to a deleted social media account that advocated racism and eugenics, the journal reports. the account was deleted in december. now, this comes as sources tell cnn that one of elon musk's doge representatives was granted access to the energy department. as we mentioned to their i.t. system by the newly installed energy secretary, despite objections from the department's general counsel and chief information officers, because that person hadn't yet had a standard background check. and finally, this news story from wired magazine, the headline doge teens own owns tesla dot sexy, llc and worked at startup that has hired convicted hackers. here's how the article describes this person, a young technologist known online as big balls, who worked for elon musk's so-called department

of course, he is the longtime patriarch of the wall street journal. he's essentially past most of that on to his family now, but he got a smile on his face. the president had a smile on his face, said the wall street journal. is often wrong, but the reality here is business leaders and republicans on capitol hill from red states were very concerned about the the ramifications of this trade war. the president said he did not blink on this. he said the deal with mexico to have some 10,000 national guard of their national guard on the border was a good deal, but left unclear what will happen with the candidate or china by midnight, when that deadline is still looming. >> yeah, he mentioned that he's going to have a call with china in the next 24 hours, notably jeff. he also spoke there extensively about the panama canal and doing something big to take it back. essentially. he apparently said that there's a call with panama on friday. of course, secretary of state marco rubio is on his way back from there. pivoting, though, to usaid and elon musk, somethin

this is from the wall street journal reporting of this account connected to him. racist before it was cool, the account posted in july. according to journal's review of archived posts. you could not pay me to marry outside my ethnicity, the account wrote in september, according to wall street journal, normalize indian hate, the account wrote the same month, in reference to a post noting the prevalence of people from india in silicon valley. so that's the sum of the views of the individual that has now been blocked by a judge's order and then resigned. you mentioned other other wins in court, and i want to just enter the record. two of those that are important, the federal worker buyout appears to have been halted by a judge as well today that that's a big deal. it's a little unclear though. norm. are you confident they're going to adhere to the orders because they seem to be making noises that they're interpreting the orders in ways they don't have to adhere to them? >> well. >> chris. >> they're going to have to deal with some very angry federal judges. if they d

earlier, the vice president told the wall street journal that the u.s. could hit russia with sanctions and even possibly send u.s. troops to ukraine if the russian president failed to negotiate in good faith, saying, quote, there are economic tools of leverage. there are, of course, military tools of leverage as well. cnn national correspondent alex marquardt joining us now live from munich. and i wonder, alex, who do european diplomats and officials believe because you had say one thing, you have vance saying another and you have donald trump. now making concessions prior even to the start of the negotiations. >> yeah, jim, it's a very good question. and i think the biggest concession is the question of nato membership for ukraine. pete hegseth really alarming. european nato allies just a few days ago, saying that that ukraine would not end up with nato membership in any kind of peace deal with russia and donald trump essentially confirming that yesterday in the oval office. but we are hearing from the vice president, jd vance, who is essentially taking

yet the media likes to frame it as trump getting played, "the wall street journal" called the tariffs, the dumbest trade war in history. when the market initially went down today they said it was the fallout from the dumbest trade war in history. when mexico and canada finally folded, the journal said it was trump who blanked. as you can imagine "the new york times" msnbc and the rest also marked this up as a trump fail. mexico and canada make robust concessions that will very likely limit the flow of fentanyl, into the u.s. and will likely save thousands of lives and trump gets no credit. common sense things whenever the media tells you that trump blank, you should be very sceptical. then you should rewind the tape and played in slow-motion because what the legacy media calls, a blank, is most likely a wink . basketball fans and canada booing the u.s. national anthem during the tariff debate let's bring in strategy aaron and "new york post" columnist miranda, thank you both for coming on, miranda you first caroline levitt said this about the tariffs, watch. >> president trump is send
