At 10 eastern, nikki haley will announce if shes dropping out. The wall street journal says she will not immediately endorse donald trump but will urge him to win over independents. If haley wants a political future, shell have to make up quickly with mr. Trump because trump is now the almost certain republican candidate in november. Super tuesday was a runaway win for him. He has won every state except vermont9. That was haleys only state win. In his speech, his victory speech, trump called for unity which he said, quote, would happen very quickly, presumably unity within the Republican Party. Now, President Biden, he won his primaries although there was a very large uncommitted vote, nearly 20 in minnesota. He did not hold a victory rally, he did not appear on camera. He issued a statement saying in part he, trump, is driven by grievance and grift. He is determined to destroy our democracy, end quote. As of now, it looks like a rematch, biden versus trump in no. Now, you will see nikki haleys announcement at 10. We are told it will be a short statement with no questions. It is possible well hear from the president after hale will his announcement. Okay, got that haleys announcement. To the markets, a bounce for stocks. Not sure if its connected to trumps win. More likely, its connected to comments from jay powell. He says he will scale back on rates later this year, but hes not saying exactly when. Theres maybe some dip buying as a well. Dows up 200. This is premarket. S p, 31. And the nasdaq, nice gain, 166. Plenty of green this morning. Lots of red yesterday. Interest rates continue to drift lower. Look at that, the yield on the 10year treasury is 4. 12, and the yield on the 2year is just above 4. 5 , 4. 53 right now. Bitcoin molding on to its gapes holding on to the its gains, 66 and change for bitcoin right now. The record high is 69,202. There you go. Maybe well get there soon. Gold close to its alltime high, it is well over 2100 an ounce, 2146 to be precise is. Gas keeps on creeping up ever so gradually. 3. 38 for regular now, up 2 cents overnight. Diesel, to change, 4. 05. On the show today, elon musk visits donald trump. The speculation is that trump needs cash quickly to pay his 3 55 fine plus interest. The president looked shaky. He asked permission to stay at a his own meeting and responded to questions with a blank stare. But we will be focused sharply on the rapidly changing political situation. Haley out. Trump wins big. Bind, a noshow. Wednesday biden, a noshow. Wednesday, march 6th, 2024. Varney company is about to begin. Baby, give it up give it up, baby, give it up. Stuart i think the producers are being a little cruel here. Theyre playing the song is give it up lauren and showing a dark skiment ominous. Stuart producers, what are you up to . Its a lovely place. You can find Something Better than that. Stuart lets move on. One hour from now, nikki haley will announce shes dropping out of the race. Lauren its about the moth math. Whats the path. She was victorious in vermont yesterday, the home of Bernie Sanders and ben and jerrys. Trump won everywhere else on super tuesday. He has 995 delegates, nearly 80 of the way to securing the republican mom if nation. So in less than an hour, youll get the haley concession. Not the endorsement. She will encourage trump to earn the support of those who bagged her backed her. Trump dud not mention haley last night, but he did call for party up unity. It was a tragedy because with you wouldnt have, think of it, all of the problems that the you have today. I dont think you would have had any of them. Ing youd only have success. And thats whats, ultimately, going to unify this country and unify this party. We have a great request Republican Party with tremendous talent, and we want to have unity, and were to going to have unity. And its going to happen very quickly. And i, ive been saying lately success will bring unity to our country. Lauren yeah. Success will bring unity to the country. But what, what is the Republican Party right now . Its the trump Republican Party. Is there a place for nikki haley in it and her supporters, because if you looked at the exit polls in some key states yesterday, there are a third of them said if trump is convicted of a crime, we will not vote for him. Stuart whats her place in the party. Weve got figure that out in the next three hours, i do believe. Ben domenech is with me this morning right here in new york city. Can trump get nikki haleys voters . What does he have to do to get those voters on his side . I think thats the big question right now. Theres been a lot of talk that nikki haleys voters were democrats who were crossing over to vote for her. In some places that was the true, but theres a lot of independents out there. There are a lot of people who i still, frankly, believe have not totally forgiven the former president for some of the things that he did that they disliked whether thats discomfort, the chaotic nature of the final year he had in office or whether its, i think, blame game, looking back the way that he handled covid or mishandled it in certain respects. And and i think those voters tend to be the kind of suburban, highly educated, wealthier voters who have more insulation from the experience of inflation. Stuart what about his tone . Does he have to change his tone and his approach to politics . Haleys voters to go with him . I think he has to do a couple of different things, but one thing i think is particularly important is this Vice President ial choice because if its going to dictate, i think, a lot about what you can expect from another trump four years, especially given that its its likely to be someone whos looking forward and who with automatically becomes, should he win reelection to the white house, a, you know, the oddson favorite for being the inheritor of the role in the future. So i think that matters a lot. I think tone does matter. But one thing to keep in mind is his base is much more solid than joe bidens. Joe biden needs to have trump, you know with, play into the chaos can, play into a more aggressive tone in order for him to have hope. Stuart if all of his base votes for him, he still doesnt win. Well, this is the problem that he faces in a lot of key states, and we all know there are six or seven states that are going to determine this, and in current polling he tends to be up. In system of these states though, theres going to be an expensive, wellfunded democrat machine that is going to count and bank as many votes as they can come out and bank as many votes as they can, and thats ea going to be hard for him to cover come without a unified party. Stuart bidens got a problem, the uncommitted vote picking up steam. 19 of voters in north carolina. In minnesota, north carolina, nearly 900,000 votes. I call that a problem 90,000. Tell me how it plays out. Its a major with problem because he doesnt have something to excite that base the same way trump can with a solid vp choice. Hes banked in with kamala. Hes not getting rid of her, and thats a big problem for these uncommitted voters who, look, youre going to get some of them the back because if theyre motivated to vote against donald trump. But weve seen the expression among young progressives marley on issues like particularly on issues like israel and gaza, and i dont see the white house doing anything right now to change their motivations which may end up just with them staying home. Stuart ben, youve been up all night, i think we should go home and get some rest. Thanks for being on the show. Great to be. With you. Stuart yesterday biden was asked about his abysmal polling numbers. Lauren he dismissed them including the New York Times poll that had him down outside the margin of can. Stuart cant dismiss the New York Times. Lauren well, he kid. Watch here. Reporter whats your message to democrats who are concerned about your poll numbers . My poll numbers, the last phi polls, you guys know, im winning. Five. Five in a row. You guys ought to look at the New York Times, theyre a great if patient. Lauren yeah. The president says hes winning. The polls say hes underwater on every issue that voters or care about. This is fox news. He fails on the economy, the border and safety and only 26 believe he unified the country. Thats what a e ran on in 2020. What is the strategy now . Youre going to see more of an attack dog. Taunt trump, target the trump. And its a certain aggression that a we might see tomorrow night in the state of the union. Stuart youve got to have power in your voice and stature if you want to be the aggressive with donald trump. Lauren can he do that with his condition stuart good question. Wed better get to the money. Look at this. The dow is going to be up 180, nasdaq up about 165. Thats a rally this morning. Eddie ghabour with me. Looks like trump is going to be the nominee. Do you think thats got anything to do with the market rally . I dont. I think were in a buy the dip environment right now, and yesterday was the biggest down day weve had in a couple of weeks. And i think in this environment where were in a bull and speculative market, youre going to see dip buyers come in on days like yesterday. Stuart what about apple . Thats a dip and a half, actually, down 1771 last count. Are you 171 last count. Are you buying that dip . No. About a month ago i was on your show, and we talked about apple when it was at 190. Apples got challenges because of its exposure to china and lack of growth over the next 12 months. So in this market, this is a bubble. And you can make a lot of money in bubbles, you just have to be concentrated in the right areas and know when to get out. Look, apples a great company, i just think if your looking to really if youre looking to really beat the market, apple could be deadweight over the next two quarters and theres other places to be thatll be more prosperous for your money p. Stuart the fed chair is going to say this morning that hell scale back rates later this year, but hes not saying when. Maybe thats helping the market today. It is. I think youre going to get cuts in june. And, again, hook are, this government right now is spending money like crazy. Theyre not going to rock the boat before the election. Its kind of like a goldilocks scenario for investors right now. You can expect a 710 pullback in a bull market like this when youre seeing these big of moves, but again with, theres a lot of upside. But postelection all bets are off because if this debts going to have to be addressed at some point in time. You can ride this thing much higher, in my opinion. Stuart got it. Eddie ghabour, well talk to you with again soon. Thank you very much. Next case, the leader of the free world asked permission to stick around for an event at the white house. Roll tape. And im supposed to leave for a meeting, but im going to hang around a little bit, so with your permission, id like to stay a few and my staff will tell me when the drop dead hour curs, theyll pats me a hour curs. Theyll pass me a note. Stuart bidens handlers are in serious keep him out of trouble mode. If theyre not, they should be with. Nikki haley drops out of the race at 10 eastern. Well deliver it to you.

Hillary vaughn is with me. Everybodys going to be looking for a stumble tomorrow night for his cognitive ability. Thats what people are looking at. Reporter stuart, thats exactly right. And and bidens team ing this address will convince americans that hes up for a second term and to assuage some of those concerns about his age ask and his abilities similar to last year when he engaged off the cuff with some of the republicans, went off script during his state of the union address. Perhaps thats something that we see more of this year with as a way to show americans that hes got it and hes able to go toe to toe with republicans. But a lot of this is going to be in terms of policy same of kind of the same oldsame old that weve heard from President Biden. Its going to look very similar to the address he gave a year ago because its clear that President Biden does not have any regrets. Were not going to see him do an about face on any of his policies. Instead, he will be trying to persuade the American People that he is doing a good job, and he should get the chance the keep at it for another four years. Communications director ben hebolt saying President Biden will continue to make the address that the economy has led to record or job creation, increased wages and Household Wealth and lower Prescription Drug and energy costs instead of the maga republican agenda, rewarding billionaires and corporations with tax breaks, taking away rights and freedoms and undermining our democracy. But with missing from the guidance is any if indication that President Biden will talk about immigration, a top issue for voters headed into november anding something that former President Trump is make a big part of his general election pitch as he did last night. We had the safest border, the best numbers weve ever had, and now we have the worst numbers probably, probably in the history of the world. Its sad to see whats happening to our cities. Our cities are being overrun with migrant crime. And thats biden migrant crime. They want open borders, and open borders are going to destroy our country. We need borders. Reporter the other tricky issue that biden might address or avoid is his handling of the israelhamas war and his ace refusal to call for a ceasefire. That has triggered a surprise amount of democrats to vote unadmitted in super tuesdays primary. Uncommitted. Almost 20 of democrats in minnesota voted uncommitted, choosing not to vote for President Biden in their democratic president ial primary. Stuart . Stuart hillary, thanks very much, indeed, right there on capitol hill. Now, biden is actually now calling for a ceasefire. Watch this. Theres got to be a ceasefire if because ramadan, if we get into a circumstance where this continues through ramadan, israel and jerusalem could be very, very dangerous. The hostage deal is in the hands of hamas right now because theres been an offer, rational offer. The israelis have awe greed to it, and were agreed to it, and were waiting to see what hamas does. Stuart congressman darrell issa joins me now. Is biden saying that word, ceasefire, now at the very last minute because hes worried about these the uncommitted voters, and he needs the get them back in the fold . Is that why hes saying it . Absolutely, stuart. Finish if what the president s done is hes managed to alienate both the Palestinian Muslim vote and the jewish is vote by not backing israel and at the same time not providing some sort of humanitarian relief for the legitimate people in gaza who are simply caught in the middle. Having said that, there is likely to be a ceasefire, but that ceasefire if will be because israel has accomplished most of its mission, and its in a position to, in fact, have a ceasefire during ramadan. But thatll be more because of the king of jordan and others who are friends of israel who have been working behind the scenes. Stuart i believe youre bringing a gold star parent to the state of the union address, Sergeant Taylor hoover, killed during bidens afghan withdrawal. I believe hes your guest at this that state of the union. All eyes are going to be on bidens demeanor tomorrow. Everybodys going to be looking at his physical and mental performance, am a i right on that one . Absolutely. And therell be as many as five or six of the gold star family members in attendance. We think the fact that the president has never apologized, never pet with them really met with them really speak ifs loudly so long afterwards. You know, he can tray to defend the afghanistan withdrawal just like he tries to defend all the policies hes failed with. Stuart, one of the things and you see it in the economy the things that are working are working in spite of his policies while, in fact, hes trying to blame us for everything from inflation to afghanistan. So it will be interesting to hear him tomorrow night. I think his policies are delusional even when he appears to be cognitively capable because they juice him up for the night. Stuart congressman, thank you very much, indeed, for joining us. Good stuff, and we appreciate always. Thank you, sir. Thank you, stuart. Stuart democrat turned independent Kyrsten Sinema has announced she will not seek reelection for the arizona seat. Why is she doing this and what are the implications .
