larry: steve forbes. you and i have been talking about the regulatory state or socialism now for 4 years since biden came in to power, last night trump signed an importance executive order putting alphalphabet agencies on notice. they are presidential appointees, and their actions are subject to the review by the president in the white house. this is something elon musk wants to back up. this is a whole new attitude, c changing power structure in washington. away from unelected bureaucrats and their staffs, and a are appointed by the president. and back toward the executive and his pro priorities. >> thing about independent agency has been a constitutional question for a century and a half, since they started it in 1880s, they should have control over it if they created it constitution said that executive branch has control over, that this is president that is hiring and firing personnel, you can imagine ceo of a company not able to hire and fire personnel. this is the beginning of a challenge, they may l

joining me now to talk about this, steve forbes, "forbes" if media chairman editor-in-chief, and lizdonald, host of "the evening edit" right here on fabulous fox business. so, kids, welcome. it's great to see both of you together on set. liz, what'd you think of, what'd you think of of the hannity show last might? >> cooking with gasoline, right? larry: couldn't figure out -- i couldn't figure out a final line. >> it was fine. [laughter] i love the hannity interview, i thought it was fan nastic -- fantastic. and when you see the bureaucracy as it is, by the way, the democrats keep saying trump and doge, they're a threat to democracy. they really mean a threat to bureaucracy, right? the threat to the their bureaucracy. you know, watching what happened, it reminded -- i testified twice before congress about aish s rs reform, about a irs abuses of taxpayers, and i said at the time, remember charlie rangel? democrat -- >> larry: oh, ye. friend of mine, by the way. >> friend of yours. i won't go too rough then. i was working for, i think, steve at the time and i said, you know, what about

what does steve forbes think?e aren't going to like that and in terms of gold, revalue to what the market is today, 750, $800 billion and follow through by starting to issue bonds going to check what our government is doing and also in terms of values and vis-a-vis the dollar. having bonds there and one going for them and coming from the government and coming from prosperity and inflation and powell won't reduce that interest rate going for the federal rate going for the stable dollar and these are the first steps going to get there and larry: that's the gold backed bonds. thank you. larry: would you buy gold-backed bonds? >> the interesting thing about this is mark to market, i haven't heard that phrase since 2008 financial crisis and the banks said we don't want a mark to market because guess what, we're holding here in cmos and you're saying that gold is worth far more, and would be a benefit to the treasury, bail out the treasury but at the same time you're hurting the consumer financial protection burea bure.

steve forbes the chief and editor of forbes.out all of this. i know you are a pain what is happening with doge. what are you thinking about what you are seeing so far as far as the big promises to cut spending? >> i think they've got more than a great start. and they were tens have billions of dollars spent without proper accountability. a lot of things are being done. money goes to one agency and then another agency and then ngo code to another organization, another organization. do you find out we are financing staff that want at all. you can't get it cut that in half and better results what we have seen comparing us with the rest of the world. and then the treasury department, might not have a system in place where you can actually see where the money goes? so the government spending trillions of dollars has really horse and buggy whip cleaned up system in terms of operations. and he is figuring all of that out in a way that has not been done in 100 years. back when calvin coolidge was president, each week he would go over bu

. >>> moving right along here on set, steve forbes, "forbes" media chairman editor-in-chief, and gerrirrespondent extraordinaire. steve forbes, can i talk a moment about gold? >> the unmentionable word in the economics profession. [laughter] larry: four-letter word, exactly right. >> it's like waving a cross at a slam vampire. larry: first of all, bad inflation if report. biden-flation is still with us. to party what what focus say, it's still running3, 4%. the fed has bungled everything. putting that aside, gold, recor. now, you know this, the u.s. treasury owns 11 million assets. the gold -- ounces of gold it's been scored at $4 2.the 2 -- 42.22 based on nixon's 19 is 73 -- 1973 deal. is so price today is $3,000, not 42. so if you revalued it, this is my first point. if you realed it mark-to-market, if you will, it'd be worth about $800 billion. to put it on the treasure true's balance sheet. -- treasury's balance sheet. it would give us strength, give the dollar strength, tremendous reserves and so forth and so on. some people want the sell gold. i'd rather revalue it. what does ste

and obviously you mentioned forbes and the forbes list. it doesn't include everyone, it doesn't include, i don't know political welf and, and dictators, etc. so we are talking about some people, but there's still so much more wealth out there. and i think that is, i guess where the anger comes from. and these calls to if the writ 8 the rich, dire, and now that we've established, roughly who were talking about, what about this other thing that we come across a lot online, where there's no such a thing as an ethical billionaire, truth or mis. uh, it's definitely the truth because um, i suppose if, if you were to buy some money to live, nature managed to accrue a $1000000000.00 in wells in a planet or even a country that says on equal is the one that i live in. withholding those kinds of resources, all that access to resource is definitely an ethical way to exist. you would have the wealth to significantly change people's access to health care, access to food, access to water, access to clothing, education, housing, and to just hold onto that

under re—examination by her barrister grace forbes, she said that he told her in the police station, will either be tottenham or liverpool who face newcastle at the age ofjust 18 he joined real madrid back in 2007. was indescribable. january from saudi arabian club al—hilal, 12 years after he left to join barcelona in 2013. one of sports most iconic venues, the melbourne cricket asia—pacific region next year. that be quite something. president trump has doubled down on his plan appearing to row back. mr trump insisted that no us troops would be needed earlier i spoke to jedda—based journalist khaled batarfi. remains strong, despite saudi condemnation of trump's proposals for gaza. it's country owned by its people. and there are rules and regulations of how things are done. this is owned by the palestinians. in fact, the whole palestine is owned by the palestinians, and if mr that would be a great idea. to further the abraham accords and normalise relations what do you think this week has done to that? 0ne lane has always been going well, which is the bilateral relationships. since th

joining us now is steve forbes, forbes media chairman and editor in chief and john carney bright bard finance editor and coauthor of the breitbart does digest. thanks for being here. steve, this jobs report is so emblematic of bidenomics and past four years the creation that doge trying to get rid of right now and at the same time the shrinking of our manufacturing sector and middle class and president biden claimed to be representative of and really getting screwed. jowski well, the whole thing looking real suspicious and the whole jobs report put together. every single month, they had a revision and you saw this great disparity between the households survey and the factory survey. it went on and on and on. that raises real questions then the question of seasonal adjustments. in december, seasonally, a lot of new jobs are created for the holidays. in january, they say we create jobs and the real work force, hundreds of thousands of jobs are lost. so they seasonally adjusted for them and whole thing, those numbers are like chinese numbers. take them with a grain of salt. david: the nu

what's bring in steve forbes. who knows, it could be happening today. steve, great to have you won. this in perspective for us. do you see what has happened so far with this trade war? do you see what president trump has been able to achieve as a win? >> what you see is all sides want to negotiate. on mexico and canada, you've got something going right away. on china, the retaliatory tariffs are actually very mild. they didn't bring in soybeans, sensitive in the past. some of these minerals we produce here. the chinese are signaling -- yes we have to respond if you put something on, but they are also signaling that they are willing to sit down and discuss. whether those discussions lead to something substantive, who knows. the chinese have plenty tools left. they want to see them do a deal. >> up message is xi sending with these retaliatory tariffs on the united states? >> sending "this is the minimum we have to do for face-saving purposes, what we want to sit down." the present will be talking to them in a few days, and the fact that i think he talked to xi after the election. i th

liz: steve forbes you're terrific thank you so much.asure to see you again now listen to this. >> trump firing probationary workers and musk infiltrating even more of our personal data to sell-off if he chooses, now is the time to know what's going on. liz: okay, why is democrat stacey abrams protesting so much about doge and trump digging into government books? is it because epa chief lee zeldin and reporters found a non-profit linked to stacey abrams that got 2 billion bucks from biden's climate cash, we've got the details coming up plus should trump and doge audit where the bid epidemic's climate spending ended up funding democrat campaign ads like for kamala harris. plus the ceo of delta pushing back on the media trying to pin the toronto plane crash on trump's faa reforms with the sound in this story too for you tonight. >> what seems like another one of those things that donald trump is either exaggerated or making up but city of aurora is great. >> safer than its ever been. >> it's one the people of colorado never heard about. >>

i liked forbes. now people, forbes, please don't take this personally, but i read a nifty article about american agronomics, a terrific orange grower in florida. it seemed so compelling that i bought ten shares of it for nine bucks. a week later, frost hit, wiped out the crop, and my investment was more than cut in half. like the plot of trading places, an all time great eddie murphy movie, if you've ever seen it. well, what can i say? pretty similar. i was devastated, but not defeated. i sold it out, took the capital and bought seven shares of bobby brooks, a clothing outfit i'd heard of, which, again, forbes said could be a terrific buy. almost immediately, the company reported bad quarter and my money had to get. fortunately, i had a decent job at a magazine called american water, which had just started. i was making 20 gs and living in a less than swank studio on 44th street, between first and second near the united nations. the cheap $40 a month rent allowed me to replenish my stock coffers pret

privately controls, their own 40 and their own company, and they have 14 family members listed in the forbes list. the major shareholders of archer daniels midland are the titans. vanguard has 7 billion. their capital group 4.5 state street fight 3 billion and blackrock 2 billion. so they're the major shareholders and archer daniels midland title and shareholder and also in shareholders and bungee which is vanguard at 2.7 billion. capital has almost 2 billion. blackrock 800 million. fidelity 400 million. state street 300 million. so it's clear that the titans, these ten investment companies have a major impact on the price of food and profit are literally profiting from world starvation, or at least consequences of world starvation. now, these top ten companies are closely invested in each other. across investments among titans amount to over $320 billion a year. so this implies as a practice of closely monitoring other's policies and a commonality of mutual interests, market maintenance and growth. i saw that in years ago, too. and giants lacrosse investments in the big the big companies an

liz: great for you steve forbes. make those points.happy to talk to you again we'll have you back on soon we hope thanks for joining us. now listen to this please. >> thank you. >> there's a limestone mine where we store all of the retirement paperwork and you look at a picture of this mine and it looks like something out of the 50s because it was started in 1955. it looks like it's time warp. liz: who would have seen this coming? that was elon musk exposing how antiquated and out of date the federal government is. tonight we'll get you this special report on how the government was using an ancient mine carved out of limestone that dates back to the 1950s and the cold war to process pension checks for federal workers. also this story for you. >> well i think she's compromised. russian controlled media caught her a russian asset. >> you said yesterday people could be killed as a result of this. rfk jr. being in this role. liz: okay democrat hysteria hammering trump's nominees. it didn't work, none of it worked. more and more polls have

he's a contributor for forbes sports.e joins us from new orleans where he asked goodell the question as you describe it in your article for forbes about di terence. good to see you. thank you for being with me. let me read. excuse me, the question. the white house has gone to war against diversity. majority of nfl owners have been supportive of the republican party. what gives you confidence that none of that is going to affect all the things you're saying in that the nfl believes in diversity? that was your question to roger goodell. what did he tell you? >> well, he told me what he was going to tell. >> me, which. >> was virtually nothing. >> i mean, sometimes. >> listening to roger goodell is like eating cotton candy and you eat it tastes good for a little while, but there's nothing there. but he had to say what he had to say, which was nothing, simply because victor. i mean, let's face it. i mean, you look at these owners and usa today did this survey last year with this last political political cycle that showed that

and finally, as reported in forbes this week, yes, i read forbes.d fishing magazines, they said $400 million the government was going to spend buying cybertrucks. so all of this stuff is not what those folks in the focus groups voted for donald trump for. when all these republicans come on tv like he's got a mandate, he won the election. this is what the american people wanted. i can promise you it's not. >> well, on that point, yes, people voted for tax breaks. they did not vote for elon musk. but i'm curious as to what you are seeing on the ground now. how how are people reacting to musk's role right now like is. does he just come up in conversations and like media spaces or like, are people actually thinking about him and concerned with what he's doing? >> i mean. >> i think everyday. >> people are having. >> these conversations at the kitchen table. >> they understand that what's. >> happening right. >> now is not normal. they are afraid about what's going to happen to their jobs, to their families, jobs. >> and a lot of. >> them are just wantin

>> from steve forbes' mouth to actor's ears.k, there's a lot that has to go right here and i'm sure we're going to have bumps along the way. the market pulled forward a tremendous amount of performance and end of the day, you need good tax cuts but above all and i said it last week, we need companies to deliver earning ands we're in the throes of earnings season and not even talking about earnings but deepseek and tariffs and getting back to business to the micro in the near future. stuart: that's a positive you think? >> i do indeed. i think the bar has been set relatively low and washington looking for 10% earning ands seeing at least that. by the way, it's not the growth cohort that's down half a percent on the year. what's up 5% on the year through friday? value. health department care up 7% on the year. what's teped down? 4%. i'd look elsewhere because you're going to get the lift from the other constituents of this market. finally. stuart: got it, jason katz, thank you for joining us this morning, on a very important day.

that, how state should be admitted, what ends up happening is the state of kansas becomes almost up forbsbout who is going mehere in large enough quantities to see it become a slaveholding territory or a free territory. these things became important because of the balance of power throughout the rest of the united states. you saw other territories, other states sending large amounts of people to move to kansas in an effort to state a claim, in an effort to vote in local elections, in an effort to tip the hand of kansas towards a slave state or tip it towards a free state. there were abolitionists groups who sent people to kansas and there were a lot of rabble-rousers for lack of a better term. there was a tremendous amount of political violence in kansas during this time as these outside groups who have diametrically opposed ideas all flooded to this one region with very different ideas about how government should work and whether or not they should be able to enslave other human beings. you reference the national park service which i bring up in the book, which describes in very sustaine

this assault on the agency could have disastrous effects as forbes. to dismantle usaid would carry dire consequences for the countries it supports, with oxfam arguing, quote, dismantling usaid would be a callous, destructive political power play that would have deadly consequences for millions of people living in dire humanitarian emergencies and extreme poverty. earlier today, secretary of state marco rubio announced that he is currently the new acting usaid administrator. it's a move that could very well run counter to u.s. law, as the agency's independence is outlined in a 1998 act that says it only receives policy guidance from the state department. in a statement, rubio said he notified congress that, quote, a review of usaid foreign assistance activities is underway with an eye towards potential reorganization. that is where we start the hour. some of our favorite reporters and friends. nbc news white house correspondent vaughn hillyard is here. plus, new york times correspondent teddy schleifer is here. his focus is on billionaires and their im

forbes tonight reports that elon musk's personal wealth has dropped $42 billion this month. really as shares of tesla have started to fall off a cliff. this follows earlier reporting that you might have heard here on the show about how tesla sales all over the world, especially in europe, are really dropping down by a lot down like 40, 50, close to 60% tesla sales down by that much in the most important european markets. tesla's stock price in february alone is down 19%, with one prominent analyst warning yesterday, quote, the negative downturn in consumers perception of elon musk could result in a headwind to sales for tesla, whereupon tesla stock dropped 3% in one day alone yesterday. and you know, this this is interesting in terms of thinking about the sort of practical and political import of that. reporters at the bulwark got their hands on a bunch of letters sent by republican members of congress to their constituents about elon musk. now, why are republican members of congress writing to their constituents about elon musk? it's because their constituents have been who
