Maria good friday morning everyone. Thank you for joining us. I am Maria Bartiromo it is friday march 15. Your top story 6 00 a. M. On the east coast.

In asia markets finish mostly lower the asian embassies finishing the week like this with the one bright spot the shanghai composite up half 8 , the hang seng in hong kong got 1. 5 . A federal judge rejecting president jumps into dismiss the classified documents against him even as the white house as the classified documents case against joe biden is closed after robert hur said a jury would find biden to be an eligible man with a poor memory. A georgia judge will rule under Fulton County fani willis will be disqualified from trumps election interference case. We are on all morning long, joining to the conversation former bush 43 white house official ashley davis, blonde ski Group Founder john lonski and Cheryl Casone. Mornings with maria is live right now. Why would you not just cell . We have looked at it, it is not feasible to do whatever the bill to set out in the bill. To divest the company . This bill if we go through the details this would be the banning to that. Can you say with 100 certainty that the Chinese Government doesnt have any influence over tiktok. Does the Chinese Government have influence over tiktok, yes or no . Can you promise the American People that the Chinese Government does not have influence over tiktok, doesnt it say everything you could not promise the American People that the Chinese Government does not have influence over tiktok it should be a simple and easy answer. Maria that is a hot topic of hour, fox business Hillary Vaughn and fox news Aishah Hasnie questioning tiktok and he refuses to answer whether the social media is influenced by the Chinese Communist party. Your reaction. I think this is exactly why Chuck Schumer is going to have to bring this up on the senate floor. Him not answering these questions as well as ownership of the algorithm which is the bottom line of what is happening with the chinese and this is a huge problem and they can turn into a political issue and say this will be something that the democrats dont want to pass because the popularity of the app. I think theres going to be way too much pressure on the majority leader to not bring this to the floor. Maria is a great point, there was speculation he was not going to bring it to the floor. How do you not bring this to the floor with all of this out there in the open. We all know the rules of the communist party, you have to report back to the ccp if they demand information you are going to give it to them. The ceo of tiktok from singapore who is a mouthpiece for the ccp. I find it weird that hes talking about freedom and rights when people do live in china have no rights, the other part is so interesting he did not give hillary a yes or no answer, he was silent because he knew he was being filmed and on camera. As far as is going through. If this bill passes he gives in 165 days to divest. It does not have to be sold to an American Group or an American Company as long as its not an adversary of the United States, there is plenty of time for them to divest the company. The other thing that tiktok was doing that i found offensive when this started they started to reach out and push their users who call your congressman and your senator they are telling the young people in this country that are in tiktok how to think and how to vote and thats the whole problem of why this has to happen. Maria there is something in china called military civil fusion and that is a fusion of all Companies Reported to the ccp, if the ccp deems any company and pour into the military that is priority they will demand information from the company in the company will give it up to the ccp, that is military civil fusion, meanwhile democrat strategist and allies of the white house have the political ban on tiktok could affect young voters. Research shows 56 of young adults 18 34 are on tiktok. 56 , that demographic skimming away from joe biden, fox news polls shows voters under 30 would vote for trump over biden of getting the choice. This is big. Joe biden has been promising young people all sorts of things including forgiving the student loan debt. In the last election it worked. The divestment of tiktok by the chinese would make little in terms of its content and probably doesnt matter one bit that tells me that john market prospects are not that good and there is just a lot of disillusionment with the direction that biden is taking in terms of social policy in addition to economic policy. Maria there turning on him over his stance in israel. Absolutely. Look what happened out of the southwest in austin. I just saw that on the newschannel. We will talk about that later, there turning away for several reasons. Maria we are just getting started, quick break then the power panel beginning at 8 00 a. M.

Maria welcome back take a look at features and were looking at a firmer tone at the start of trading the dow industrial 46, the nasdaq of 32 and s p 500 by higher then i did have, ten year treasury after this weeks how to the expected inflation data. The tenure is sitting up 4. 4. To eight, that would be a different story, fourpoint to 8 is where the ten year yield is were looking ahead to the Monetary Policy meeting next week on the 19th and 20th the fed is expected to hold Interest Rates steady but we want to hear what they say about the future and whether or not we will see a cut in the coming months. Housing data next week the february nah Builders Confidence index on monday that will get housing and building on tuesday by the existing home sales on thursday joining me now ceo ken mahoney, great to see you thank you so much for being here how do you view markets and what you expected for the data next week . First off happy friday it is the eyes of march, we have a lot to digest this morning as you can tell we have a little flash of witching in a flash down to negative 100 points. Cpi this week, cpi, basically online and housing is sticky thats not going to go away i dont know how the fed will get to 2 target the ppi came in higher than expected and they watch ppi over the cpi and cpi higherthanexpected is not welcome news and when you think about what you look at Housing Inventory is the issue its good to remain sticking all from covid if you think about 2021 people couldnt travel and when they do homes, pools, decks, that is a lifetime home was out of context before. That basically means thats not income inventory. We refinance 2. 75 coming out the percent now mortgages six, 8 what you do sell your home and double your payments, i think this will remain sticking for some time next week as you saw 3 chance fed funds will go lower so will take the 97 chance itll leave rates unchanged in a q a is what we will be looking at. Maria lets take a look at the a. I. Stocks, nvidia is up ahead of the annual developer conference next week, investors expected the chipmaking to make news of how the company sustained and accelerates growth, this is up better than 265 in the last year, what is your take on nvidia and the power and promise of a. I. I think it a hope a lot of investors we have been pounded the table for nvidia microsoft, we cant see the naked eye the big destructive in the mid1990s we were part of it. Com, the pcs this is back in stuff in the warehouse, i think at the conference and be able to connect the dots for investors to show the tangibility of what this is intellectual property that they have light years ahead of amd and intel and expectation are high for the a. I. Conf conference, Everything Else that jensen does i think they will exceed those expectations. People feel like i missed nvidia, listen to the ceo at the epicenter of a. I. He said were in the second or third inning, thats a pretty good run way to make money you may not want to stick around to the ninthinning or x innings but this is second or third, theres a lot more room for growth. Maria i guess theres an expectation that Corporate America will increase their spending on a. I. Chips and a. I. Related Cloud Services there is a runway there. Cheryl jumping. I was curious about the economic picture. We were looking at the pipers in the report about not so much a recession nationally but a recession in certain states. And monetarily highvalue states like california and new york and massachusetts even illinois because of the worker exodus. Here we are trying to interpret these jobs numbers month over month. Its saying basically Piper Sandler saying the labor market is not as strong as what the data is showing us and we are at risk of a recession and blue states. Does that concern you at all . Yes i thought these policies were working out of get i dont understand is that people want high crime. I thought it was an ingredient. John can tell you about this piece in some of the flows that he has seen. Certainly every time we have employment reports the president is a victory lap and all the jobs created revising cut in half and the next time the below expectations its down 13 of the last 14 reports but to your point there is a migration that is happening and i think we saw new york state loose 78000 people in the last year and sense covid 500,000 people, businesses dont feel welcome look what happened yesterday. Long story short policies are not working people taking their families and going to state that welcome them lower taxes lower crime and be heard. And this is a lot of Cross Sections that are going on on reports and particularly very deceiving going back time and time again revising numbers down sharply to make it look pretty so they could to victory lap on each employment report. Maria how do you want to allocate capital. We still like stocks you talk about the fetid inflation but we love her need to rethink earnings are really great we still cannot believe its a tale of two markets, its technology and Everything Else, working to be in the growth lane and microsoft as a favor, 14 broke out to an alltime high you get cloud, gaming at all those Different Things and a. I. Will be a creative turning. Were still in the spectacular we like the earnings and we think theyre going to be in raise guidance and will see more money gravitate toward those things. Maria the euphoria around a. I. Heating up today going into the nvidia conference next week and we may see them listed as a result, will keep a spotlight on it, great to see you.
