you deal with people, and you begin to realize, like you learn that larry ellison is very tough to do business with, ok? [laughter] i'm sure you're shocked to hear that. canada is very tough. they are very tough to do business with them and we cannot let them take advantage of the u.s. they don't take our agricultural products, for the most part. they don't take our cars, they make cars, but they basically don't take our cars. we don't need, and i think we will have another good conversation. we are actually speaking at 3:00. but we don't need them to make our cars. we don't need them to give us lumber. we don't need them for agricultural products, because we have all the agriculture we need. they don't take our agricultural products, for the most part them on milk, deary, etc. and little bit they do, but not much. we take bears. -- theirs. as far as cars are concerned, they put in a big percentage of the market. i would not mind making our cars in the united states. we had a problem there. i would like to make our cars in the u.s. we don't need canada to make our calls. that being sa

you had larry ellison, the head of oracle, another billionaire. howard lutnick, a billionaire. and obviously, donald trump himself says he's a very wealthy man. you have elon musk, the world's richest man. so you have this cadre of very wealthy individuals setting these policies and speaking to some people on wall street. the american economy, because, you know, they don't want the impact of that. but it's really interesting when you just look and see who's around andwhohe�*sgiving shout .. . . .. .. these various bills. what's your guy's view on that? it has to be the wealthiest cabinet in history. even his ambassador picks, right? you know, you've got tom barrack, who's been a long—time friend and donor. and as the ambassador of turkey, you have charles kushner, jared kushner's father for france. um, and and steve witkoff, envoy to the middle east and it's these, these people who are in the room with him. i mean, the one thing that, you know, i think we've all learned so it's whoever's in the room with him influencing how he's thinking about something, you know, influencing h

so the seems you're seeing on the screen now, or ellison, and celebrating the fact that these people are coming back to their society, that these people have been freed from very long sentences. some of them multiple life sentences depending on what sort of crimes they have been convicted. a it is really military courts, but it is important to humanize this fact because these are also people. and you know, these really public doesn't really see the images of palestinians being released other than when they're being slammed for the celebrations. but these are people who've also been separated from their families. they haven't been able to see them during their time and is really prisons. the 111 palestinians for being released from gaza were all people who were detained during the war by is really forces. and held in these prisons and in these other facilities like states a man which has come under so much criticism for the way they treat their detain needs. so the issue of palestinian prisoners is that the heart of the society because everyone know someone is interested or detain som

with a company called skydance which happens to be controlled by larry elson s who was in the to -- ellisono was in the oval office the other day. here's the fcc chair, brendan carr, talking about news distortion policy. >> you can't swap answers out. the classic case if someone says yes to an answer and you splice in a no answer. howard: donald trump says cbs should lose its license and the cheaters at "60 minutes" should all be thrown out and this disreputable news hoe should be immediately terminated. cbs doesn't have a license, individual stations do, and the death penalty seems rather harsh. "60 minutes" is not apologizing. many journalists contend this whole thing is overblown, that new york stock exchanger including fox also do such editing. >> the suit is widely regarded by legal and first amendment experts as, well, as one put it, quote, a frivolous and dangerous attempt by a politician to control the news media. howard: but it certainly seems possible that cbs will be writing a large check to donald trump. remember after the capitol riot when facebook banned president trump? twitt

infrastructure venture led by openai's sam altman and oracle's larry ellison is close to deciding on locations in texas and more than 12 the other states for its data center projects. in january white house news conference they held with president trump the three announced they will invest $500 billion over the next four years on new a. i. infrastructure here in the u.s. chip architecture firm arm holdings is right in the sweet spot. coming up, ceo rene haas is here live. we'll ask what he's prepared to spend to ensure his chip designs are stargate's chosen ones. and the other major story we are watching at this hour, chairs of cal main, the largest egg producer in the u.s., up nearly 2% as egg prices skyrocket. waffle house cracking under the rising costs. the restaurant chain announcing it will implement a 50 cent surcharge per egg used in its recipes to offset the egg-flation. calmain shares have spiked 99 -- 94% due to the bird flu outbreak which restaurant the chains could be next to slap. the surcharge on customers? we'll ask the national restaurant association's ceo, she is co

oracle ceo larry ellison, for example, was at a big white house event in week one, but then went on to in that stock slide. i mentioned, at least on paper, losing 20 billion in a day is a good sign. you have a ton of money. meanwhile, new reporting on elon musk trying to take his twitter game plan and apply it to the entire federal government. he has stormed into washington. the new york times reporting that musk shows up in person at these agencies and is trying to sort of twitter fight the federal government, installing some of the very same executives who ultimately cut not a third or half, but actually 80% of that company's staff, millions of federal workers received an unusual offer this week that, again, like so much that we're covering, might be part messaging, part bluster, given the rules on federal workforces, but also could matter, they were told in language eerily reminiscent of twitter layoffs, that they'd reached a, quote, fork in the road, and they were being encouraged to resign and get some longer payment through about the fall if they did. indeed, it was the same quot

ellison? >> just respect. i have great respect for rupert murdoch. i disagree with him a lot of times with the wall street journal, but that's all right. we've disagreed before, but and i'm sure they didn't have any idea what they were talking about because already you see what's happening. look at look at columbia. look at what happened with that. everybody said that with columbia it was going to be a disaster in 1 in 1 hour. everything was settled. you know why? tariffs. tariffs without tariffs, they wouldn't have been the same way. they weren't would not have treated me the way they treated me, which was extremely nicely. uh, and i don't want to use countries, i don't want to use names. but tariffs are very powerful both economically and in getting everything else you want. tariffs for us. nobody can compete with us because we're the pot of gold. but if we don't keep winning and keep doing well, we won't be the pot of gold. and then tariffs won't be so good for us. but when you're the pot of gold, the tariffs are uh the tariffs are very good. they

and i will note for you guys that larry ellison, co-founder of oracle, was in the room for this conversation there as well. so something to watch as we continue to wait and see what's going on with tick tock guys. >> that's interesting. larry. >> there's a. lot there. yeah. >> megan. thanks. appreciate it. megan costello. >> you also wonder what the relationship is between howard lutnick and scott. bessent in treasury and commerce. just kind of we're going to go to steve liesman in a second just to kind. of recap what. we heard there at the top, the sovereign wealth fund. i want everyone out there listening and watching to understand what we're talking about. and correct me if i'm wrong. >> well, let's see what we're talking about. >> i actually don't know the details. i'm going to make it up. >> but what. >> we know about sovereign wealth funds is this to kelly's point, you sell or you. >> sell. >> something, you raise money. and with those that money, you buy stuff and then you hopefully make. >> money investments. >> for the citizens. >> so if you have a lot of oil, look what alaska has d

then there's the big one, the stargate ai infrastructure venture that oracle's larry ellison, softbank's my son and we well, son and openai sam altman rolled out at the white house on january 21st. that was trump's full first full day in office. they're spending 100 billion up front and could go up to 500 billion over the next four years. now, some have questioned whether these companies even have that kind of money. but hey, you know who didn't care? i mean, wall street oracle stock gained 14.4% over the next two days. and while it's since given back, much of that move, clearly ai spending was not seen as a problem two weeks ago. so you can imagine you've got this one company spending far more than we thought. and then what happens? its stock goes up now. something big changed in recent weeks though. and that was the arrival of deep tech. that's a chinese generative ai tool that seems to be performed nearly as well as any of the leading edge, expensive us ai systems and was allegedly developed with far less hardware, meaning a heck of a lot less money. deep seek was actually launched la

the recent unveiling of the stargate and joined by larry ellison about curing cancer and anior disease. this might stownd vague and optimistic and sounds like hype. i wanted to present a couple of charts that make this point. not only about the ultimate potential of a.i. models, but about the rapid acceleration that we are right now currently in the midst of. so this chart is one metric of basically how smart a model is. it's called the gp queu a diamond. and howell it does on the test and when the model was released and there are the exmp's. . . .. it goes back to 2023 and we're looking for 25% of one of the models then and the line continues to go up steadily a little bit at a time. just in the last few weeks you've seen this truly exponential growth rate and those are both open a.i. models that are listed there, 01 pro and 02, there were trademark issues so they jumped from one to three. but that shows you that we are on a rapidly accelerating curve and we now have a second chart i think makes this point even more clearly because one of the problems with the bench marks that are use
