Transcripts For FBC Mornings 20240704

Us this morning i hope you are having a good morning. Im Maria Bartiromo friday, august 18, 8 00 a. M. On the east coast hot topic of the hour President Biden is hosting januarys Prime Minister south korea president today for first leader summit at camp david all about china importants aggression expected to dominate the conversation a fox poll finds 55 americans disproovr of bidens Job Performance on Foreign Policy, 41 say they prove that poll find Foreign Policy ranks last in a list of issues on voters minds of their priorities, with 2 saying it is most important one facing the country right now joining me for hot topics Frances Newton stacy, and daniel garza, it is interesting to me that Foreign Policy ranks so low in terms of importance on polls your reaction. It should not that is disappointing, especially when you consider, that china embedded cog in Global Economy i understand they take up 20 of the worlds economy, russia, 2 in comparison, they dont play by the rules. They are amassing economic might to push, of course, their military might to undermine america with our friends, and, of course, the most sensitive flash point is taiwan. That could if not managed orable handled correctly could really escalate aggression really quick this should matter to every one of is china is not our friend they do not play by the rules, we should treat them as such. Maria yes. Interesting to say probably one of the most important issues frances right now china made goals very clear wants to overtake United States as number one superpower. But even worse than that, is the fact that theyve been so aggressive, on joe bidens watch, from sending swaips balloon in to surveil military installations setting up police stations in america, hacking, more than before, hacking into the state department the commerce department, pretty incredible what is happening with communist china right now. Frances incredible the Manufacturing Base of americans sening over to china, that built the juggernaut that is china today a little bit ironic, so american capitalism made them the pour that they are today to shove communist down our throats. A little bit unfortunate, of course, yes important to push back on this chinese aggression but interesting biden focusing on this cant talk being economy number one thing on that poll cant talk about immigration because there are not successes there Climate Change done that that is nobody you know cant hear about that anymore, then abortion Foreign Policy i am glad you are pushing back on china like you said not important to americans because they are actually just suffering living paycheck to paycheck we sent jobs voes coming back some repatriating coming up in earnings calls it is unfortunate. The agenda sends more business to china i know that, because, the the chinese supply chain, in control, of things like, you know lithium that makes batteries for Solar Industry Climate Change agenda is also involving batteries solar panels in china factual from Congress Getting supply chains out of china into america other sources is falling on deaf ears this mix doubling down on reliance on china we need to make sure our audience understands what this climate agenda completeness for the u. S. Versus china. Frances book reliant saudi arabia for oil weve seen consequences that have now make us electric more reliant on china it has been tried. Doesnt work. Also on are pharmaceuticals worrying the fact china playing footsie with latin america is Biden Administration compromised taken money from china the worst thing about this is, obviously, that they are number one pro liverators of weapons of mass destruction positioning around the world guns us. Extraordinary we want to know if in fact joe biden was in on all deals in china maybe a different name this morning we learned that he used all these different aliases, one robert l. Peter james comer head of Oversight Committee wants all emails with Robert Peters on them because he says they are stonewall his investigation. How many aliases are there, that is the next question [chuckling] how many are there. Goes to be sent to s deceive a damning revelation to operate in dark to achieve economic aid in exchange for political favors of american policy is astonishing to me, this could be i think what crosses the threshold into impeachment. Maria some people raised the issue that other high profile politicos used other names talked about, are they talked about danger remember that name, used exactly. And, mitt romney you are mentioning mitt romney trump has had a pseudonym at would be point this is different using alias names in emails potential emails with Business Partners at burisma in ukraine or Business Partners that are part of deals with hunter allegedly in china. We know using for perverted reasons alias, mitt romney just to stir things up disrupt on social media you are right for economic aid personal gain, well aware what they were doing, again goes to be sent to deceive. This is in violation, of course, of a a a transgression listed in constitution bribery, that you would take money in exchange for policy decisions. Exactly right that impact americans every day, that is a damning revelation. We want to identify decisions joe biden made on to understand if he was paid for them, because one glaring decision i continue scratch my head about as soon as he walks into white house cancels China Initiative an initiative under Trump Administration where they were indicting anybody who was sending information to china surveilling american citizens sending data to china getting paid for it werent telling their employer they were getting paid headed at harvard attacked for thisp houston employee shut down under second pompeo because of since were, there is another decision wreaking with questions the decision in 2013 when joe biden as Vice President signed a memorandum of understanding when allowed thousands Chinese Companies to trade on u. S. Exchanges with no accountability did not have to follow ruled securities and Exchange Commission put out for all public chinese communities given immunity did not have to followting rules why we want to know if that was a decision updated for.

Georgia state senator calling for impeachment of fullerton County District attorney fani willis after she indicted President Trump, he sent a letter to Governor Brian Kemp requesting a special session of congress to review her decision, claiming this is a crisis of state affairs, former President Trump meanwhile, is cancellation his press conference on Georgia Election next week, instead he wrote on truth social. His attorneys will present quote irrefutable overwhelming evidence of Election Fraud irregularities in formeral filings. Barry loudermilk a member House Financial Services Administration Committees thanks very much for being here. What is your reaction to this state senator wanting to take down fan fani willis. Can be done one served in Statehouse Senate i am familiar with that would require at this point a special session the decision of the governor. I think this is an uphill battle for him but i think the impeachment if if successful the danger isnt about necessarily what could be done to trump it is what could be done to future candidates elections will politics elections what she is claiming is something that is done within state law challenging election is now criminal if you are not successful in the challenge, i mean theyre saying if you dont like outcome of election, then this could be criminalized if you follow state law and you file appeals go through the process. So i think that is where real danger is what will be done in future elections if this goes through, and unlike other charges these hold a minimum prison sentence of five years so this is very significant something i think legislature does need to be looking at very closely. Maria let me ask you this congressman. Because, former speaker of the house newt gingrich, shared a story on the charlie kirk show the other day he said that he has a reliable source who told him that the white house called fullerton county d. A. Fani willis demanding she make indictment of President Trump money as opposed to tuesday he has reliable source told him white house told him make announcement of indictment on monday what is the ramifications if in fact the white house was working with fani willis on this . I think it would will ramifications enterprise her case part of key evidence bringing up is this phone call between donald trump and Brad Raffensperger george secretary of state claiming he put undue influencer on elected official to do something they claim was illegal, at the same time, if this is true, i think very damning now a sitting president ial calling a District Attorney putting political pressure on her to do something, i think could really start unraveling this case. Folks news poll reveals 80 voters believe economy in fair or poor condition, 0 would describe economy excellent or good more than half say the President Biden has made the economy worst since taking office congressman, lets talk issues for a moment, this upcoming election, is so i mean the issues coming out of all investigations are just incredible, taken to focus away from actual issues, nobody wants to see this kind of corruption. If true, in the white house for sure, that is taking a bigger import, importance, as opposed to economy inflation, what are your thoughts on policies can go out of this administration . Well, the policies have been devastating, i did will will traveling over the weekend just looking at the prices of fuel, is unbelievable, and going up, and if you look at what the president has done and it is clear he is the one caused high fuel prices. He took historic actions in first week in office with historic number of executive orders a lot targeting Petroleum Industry u. S. We saw prices skyrocket when fuel prices go up it affects the price of everything, everything you take a loaf of bread planting to planting it haul to processor, baking everything involves fuel when you raise price of fuel it raises price of everything americans are paying up to 700 dollars more for goods just buying, back during the excuse me Trump Administration. So this is this is a real impact not only on americans, but also on our National Defense because even defense becomes more expensive. Yeah. I was talking with Majorie Taylor greene the other day joined me on sunday morning futures made a great point, she said that because she had a Construction Company before she entered Congress Said in 2020, the refrom inlandrant coolant in your refrigerator airconditioning, 20 pounds of coolant in 2020 was 45 dollars, today that same 20 pounds of that coolant for your airconditioner is 270 dollars, so, you know just to keep your home cool during these incredibly hot days of august, is costing americans heavily, because of the price of oil and gas and because of the Climate Change agenda. Climate change agenda is something people overlook a lot when you look at government regulations, i remember back when i first ran for office, in 2014, i was meeting with homebuilders telling me about 60 of the cost of a new home is due to government regulation. And when you get an agenda like this very radical aggressive climate agenda it is going to affect the price of everything look at what the president is doing now he wants to shut down your gas stoves it was few years ago they were promoting getting off electric going to gas safer cheaper better for environment now that changed, gas is are terrible. Going to get to the point wont let you have a campfireto at a state park anymore. Top white house lawyer delery is leaving the Biden Administration next month biden called delery a trusted adviser no replacement named this comes out of in the middle of dribs and drabs of new information from house Oversight Committee about biden family, about joe biden using different al yes names the report claiming President Biden is very obsessed with negative coverage of hunter so much so advisories aids wont mention in front of the president congressman. Maria are a i have said a long time that you are going to see beginning of the end of the Biden Administration when you start seeing house of cards fall this attorney has been a drusted democrat attorney for multiple administrations, and, you see what is happening right now, were getting closer to the truth, i think this just too much heat in the kitchen, and he needs to protect his own reputation, and this is just my opinion of what is going on, i think you may see more people start to leave the bidens as we get closer and closer to taking some real action, i think it is clear were heading toward an impeachment inquiry then will lead to articles of impeachment, but i do think we need to do this in a proper way so when we do get to that point, we do impeachment we have such strong evidence, that it is going to put senate in a position where they just cant ignore it they are going to have to take action on this. Maria all right. Congressman we will be waiting and watching all of that when you all return to washington, the week of september 12 we appreciate your time congressman Barry Loudermilk joining us in georgia thank you, sir.

Saffirsimpson maria welcome back. We will take ab look at futures indicating a selloff the start of trading august selloff deepthens morning, we have worsened quite a bit last hour dow industrials down 170, nasdaq down 135. S p 500 lower by 26. Asian markets started selling yoefrt after evergrainitiatived filed for bankruptcy protection. Chinese yuan, lowest level, questioned in terms of growth potential. In u. S. Interest rates spiking as well 10year yield reaching highs not seen since november 2007 take a look where we stand yield on 10year pulling back 1. 7 basis points to 4. 62 , 30year pulling back from highs, seen yesterday the highest level since april 2011 with yield on 30year currently like this, can we show that yield on the 30year bond . Pulling back this morning. From from a high of above 4. 38 . This morning. It sits at 4. 387 , hoping for answers next week jackson hole symposium where jay powell is expected to speak friday recent new York Fed Survey find americans credit fed for inflation cooling joining me now Market Rebellion cofounder Pete Najarian, Federal Reserve taking inflation down a tsunami of spending stimulus elsewhere stuff includes biden trying to forgive student loan debate fed successful getting inflation down but only game in town. Getting inflation down, but the pace i think that everybody is concerned about right now as well, i mentioned it i by biggest thing why markets you show hit again, the fact so sticky when you look the 10year, gets over 4 people get nervous want to get themselves out of the markets back over towards yields of treasury, so we are seeing really impressive numbers there, but, that is that is hurting the market no doubt about that when you see it above 4 then we made that run as you mentioned, highest levels in multiple years, that is pretty incredible but also an excuse for people to get out of the markets take themselves out of what they fear, may be from markets right now weve had a great run first half of the year, but people i think are now more willing to say you know what . I am willing to take this out i want it here feel more comfortable here why i think weve seen this so sticky. In a very, very short period of time we went from just about 3. 75 to 4shs now weve got more new highs yesterday 4. 2 or Something Like that, numbers are extraordinary. Weve come back a little bit but that is a concern. By the way, twoyear up to 4. 9, twoyear yield is 4. 9 , how worried are you about evergrande, china Property Company vulnerable last several years as property, falloff happens in china, do you worry that the u. S. Banks have exposure here . A i think we should be worried about that, i certainly do, because the fact that when we talk about china, all investments over there, it has been something that you know, there are great times other times seems like they should have been looking further ahead to be able to see exactly what is going on, that economy is struggling, maria we talked about this all the time second biggest economy in the world, they have been struggling, they havent seen been able to come out of this whole thing that i think putting more and more pressure on the u. S. As well that combination, is certainly something that i think people should be aware of i think a lot of investment over in china, that beam really need to know more about it look into some of these companies whether financials or whatever when that dependent on china and struggling the way they are this is something that i think should be very concerning. Maria yeah of course earnings continuing next week bike he retailers macys, lowes, kolz dollar trade all reporting Second Quarter next week nvidia on weathered, pete. Nvidia is probably the one that has the least room for error stock on fire yeartodate, led led the s p 500, led nasdaq dow industrials all higher yeartodate, nasdaq up what 28 or Something Like that yeartodate . Largely led by nvidia and a. I. Companies what are you expecting on earnings. I will say this if nvidia not perfect they are going to be in trouble last time i was on with you talking apple, amazon apple had to have a perfect quarter they did not they missed on phone looked at Amazon Amazon pretty much did have a perfect, delivery in terms of earnings themselves that is why that stock actually did get a big boost to upside, so nvidia has no room nor error when you look at p e the fundamentals the company right now, they are very, very stretched what i mean by that, that p e has gone from low 30s up intop 70s, 80s, this is a very expensive stock that has no room at all to miss. Maria wow. So stock is trading at 70 times earnings expectations forward earnings pete . Other backward. P e is extremely stretched, in the forward side, so, yeah, there is a lot going on here right now, but a. I. The rest that everybody has been looking at specifically looking right at nvidia because of theyve been leader somebody been there planning this a long time, but it would have to be a pete thanks so much Pete Najarian on markets this morning.

House Oversight Committee chairmanship james comer demanding archives turn over unredabtd emails involving thenVice President Joe Biden Hunter Biden Ukraine burisma asking for access to case record called email messages to and or from vice President Biden hunter biden targeting emails why biden used a different name error earth peter, object roin ware, alias names joe biden apparently was using dealing with business deals, with the hunter biden allegedly and his foreign partners joining me John Ratcliffe former director National Intelligence texas congressman thanks very much for being being with me. You bet always good to see you, maria. I want to ask you about i willious names pseudonyms that joe biden was using. Why . [chuckling] i think to have you start with you know joe bidens big lie from the beginning, repeatly saying look i never talked about business in ukraine and burisma with the hunter biden. And weve seen evidence mounting that says just the opposite you have whistleblower testimony to that effect two weeks ago maria, you had actually, testimony from hunter biden own Business Partner saying this is simply not true joe biden is lying i was there for at least 20 phone calls some with burisma executives, where you know, joe biden did have conversations about that, and i think most significant about this maria why this is such a big deal is the person that is now saying joe biden was lying is joe biden. These are joe bidens own records as you just put the official National Archives Vice President ial records title one attachment jameer comer is looking for says Vice President vice President Bidens emails with you hunter biden to and from hunter biden regarding burisma, and the ukraine, i mean if that is not a smoking gun it is a bloody knife, i mean it is it is kind of evidence that jamie comer ought to be looking for that is why he wants it. What makes it worse what is official records reflect maria, is you know, why to your question why use alias . Well, a confidential human source at the fbi describes as highly credential says 10 million reasons why joe biden would do that why he would use, an alias, you know think about this maria what that email says is that not Robert Peters but Vice President joe biden and official capacity, as the Vice President is going to have a phone call with the president of the ukraine and the only person that is copied on that is hunter biden the one doesnt work, for government just so happens, that that phone call relates to a person, that joe biden brags about, as that he leveraged into firing you know the ukrainian proper into burisma which is the basis of what the confidential human source says the bribe was for in the first place, i mean this is if a movie you wouldnt believe it, it is just so energy. I think make such an important point here, john. Because joe biden has been saying now for years, that he has no knowledge whatsoever of Hunter Bidens business deals yet there he is on an email with just hunter biden doing such an important phone call, he is the point man for ukraine, he is the point man for china and for the Foreign Policy obama administration. And here you have all of these alias names i mean very suspicious and yet Mainstream Media will not report that. The lies going on since 2020 when 51 intelligence agents signed their name to a letter, suggesting that the biden laptop was was russian disinformation you were truth tellr amazing to me the media landscape went with 51 intelligence people saying it was russian disinformation when in fact you came on this program you said it yourself, that it was absolutely not russian disinformation about what was most important that you were a sitting dni, run that sound bite from october 2020 i spoke with you three years ago, watch. This is not part of some russian disinformation can i the Intelligence Community has not been involved with the Hunter Bidens laptop, hunter biden is u. S. Person would be subject to any investigation, regarding fraud or corruption, would be rightfully the jurisdiction of the fbi so fbi had possession of this. Maria so john, i mean this came up again, with the subpoenas to the doj and fbi from jim jordan amazing to me, day the Mainstream Media went wild with 51 agents they completely ignored, a sitting dni you were sitting director National Intelligence saying complete opposite your name was not mentioned. Right even worse than that maria not only was i sitting dni of official spokesperson for the Intelligence Community of the United States. Saying exactly what you just heard there, but the doj and fbi, backed me up at the time, so my conversations privately with both attorney general bill barr, and fbi director Christopher Wray look hunter, this whole hunter biden laptop thing we know the laptop is real we know fbi you have it, and that adam schiff and democrats are trying to politics intelligence that doesnt exist for political pumps we need to come out say this. And i did that. So why jim jordan is so exercised about this, what Christopher Wray in particular is going to have to address why having conversations with me acknowledging the truth and then agents for him at the fbi were secretly going out saying just the opposite to social media platforms like twitter, facebook and saying hey be on the lookout for you russian disinformation involving hunter biden i think that is why jimmy jordan is pressing this fact with subpoenas. Is it john lets face it, they dont care, they are focused on donald trump, i mean you just mentioned 10 million reasons, right . We know, that that remark you just made, refers to alternative million dollars, that the bidens took in, from ukraine, according to house Oversight Committee members and james comer a that one of the burisma guys said ceo of burisma said five mr. To one biden five million to another biden that is bribery, the charges here are bribery the Mainstream Media will not cover it instead heat on former President Trump get hotter, former president now must turn himself in, by next friday for an arraignment on 13 charges from Georgia Election investigation they are requesting trial january 6 should be housed april 2026 special counsel jack smith says he want to trial sooner rather than later, wants it january, january 2nd how do you square the circling the fact you are hearing bribery charges against a sitting president , yet the media biden doj zeroing in ramping up the heat on former President Trump. Well, maria i dont think it is ignoring it i think we are scared look you have to keep in mind they are cocould be conspirators in this complicit in this the fact that the Mainstream Media went with all of the things like hunter biden laptop as russian disinformation they promoted the 51 intelligence officials that were lying they promoted russia collusion story all of these things folks at department of justice and fbi, you know, they lied to get fisa warrants to spy on trump campaign, so they are all you know all part of this, all complicit in this so much at stake if it unravels not just political folks that will take a fall on this, you know the american people, will see, see it for what it is. Now so having said that, you know, yeah these are challenges that President Trump continues to face. With these charges, and trial dates that are coming up, you know the thing i would point out to people here is that you know, donald trump didnt run for president to run for reelection as president to avoid political charges that some people are saying you got to remember he announced he was a candidate first became frontrunner first, all these charges in georgia, new york, jack smith cases federal cases they decided to bring charges after donald trump became leading contender in republican nomination underscores why this all continues to be political all trying to stop him from being reelected. I dont think anybody could really answer the question of how this plays out. Trump is, obviously, far and away the leading contender for gop nomination, but the problems legally are getting worse already got four indictments now we understand that Arizona Attorney general, chris mays announced investigating former president over 2020 election as well happening days after Governor Katie Hobbs told reporters state should press charges against trump, you may very well be hearing of a fifth indictment against trump yet he keeps rising in the polls, how does this play out from your legal perspective . Your prosecutor perspective how long do trials take is it feasible that he could be on trial before the president ial election . Would that be fair given the time that it would take, for you know the discovery process to play out. Well, you know weapon absolutely not i mean that is what really inner scores what happened this week think about this, is President Trump was asked for the trial date in january 6 currently set in january of 2024. Asked to be moved to january or april of 2026, reasonable. The problem, of course, is he has unfriendly judge. Think about this the argument that judge is going to have to take up is the fact, that jury selection in that a case is supposed to start december 11. Also on december 11, however, is a Pretrial Hearing in the other case that jack smith filed down in florida on the maralago classified document thing, so you have jack smith created this issue, he you know, filed two Different Cases in two different jurisdictions, and now dates are running into each other. You know. It and now as you persistent out, you compound the fact you have new york case georgia case, look this arizona you know, possibility of another case there, i will just say from legal perspective an absolute joke, the premise of it is, what their calling a fake election scream whether you like it or not al ter alternate scream Democratic Controlled Congress wouldnt have come in last year moved he electoral count act for removing any ambiguities from powers the Vice President has people may not like it but to take legal authors try to turn them into criminal activity, is just a joke across the board. Yes, i mean, you know, these cases like rico case georgia classified information cases involving classified information protection act are cases under best circumstances, take years to present, yet you have prosecutors who after dorp don in the middle of a president ial Campaign Want to get him to triale three, four, five, six months absurdly ridiculous tend the Supreme Court will have to impose some sanity as these things go up. All as we see evidence of biden family influence peddling, with 20 shell companies, set up, and and 176 suspicious activity reports from banks on biden account, just stunning, always a pleasure to see you i so appreciate your time this morning, thank you, sir.

Maria welcome back, new hurdle to report in the home buyers market as a 30 year fixed Mortgage Rate tops levels not seen in 20 years. Madison alworth is live this morning in hillsboro township new jersey with whats holding up the American Dream of owning a home. Good morning. The hit keep coming like the one im standing in for sale, Mortgage Rates hitting over 7 that is the highest that we seen in over 20 years and what were hearing from chief economist within the real estate space it could go higher potentially 8 if the fed hikes rates further. Real estate agent, you tell me the only people selling right now are those that have to sell. Absolutely, the people that are selling with family situations, job transfers, state sales, those types of things, god of the days of covid19 would move down the road for a new pool in the backyard now youre putting your pool and in staying put. Tell me about the interestrate portion, what is that keeping homeowners from selling the house. Kelly williams has given us a recent stack the 60 of homeowners have an Mortgage Rate of less than three to half percent. With recent 7 not only paying top dollar in the Sticker Price but switching your Mortgage Rate from three, three to half to 7 . Thank you so much you can see why that demand is so low because people dont want to sell. A balanced homework is 6 7 month supply. In new jersey we see a two month supply that is something you seen across the u. S. , that is adding to the problem of why houses are turning over so quickly, this house the first eight days on the market, multiple offers and asked for final and best price from those folks.
