11:02 am
this tuesday, may 30th and i'm lauren simonetti in for stuart varney today. goldman sachs says major reduction and uncertainty on the debt ceiling deal. i don't know if investors agree. split decision down 121 points and nasdaq up 80 and take a look at nvidia. they became the first chip company to hit a to hit 80,000. rest of big tech is performing as the nasdaq 100 up 30% on the year and meta up $3 or 1.25% and 1% gains for amazon as well as apple, microsoft is barely higher, 16-cents at 3.33. 10 year treasury coming down and a half basis points and now this, another violent weekend in chicago of a holiday weekend saw at least 45 people shot and 11 killed and the mayor of chicago,
11:03 am
brandon johnson responded to the violence and said i have the "we have a lot of work to do in the city, poverty did not go away over the weekend and when communities have been disinvested in and traumatized in, you're seeing the manifestation of the trauma". bring in the chicago native jan o cold well. is he hitting on the right points right now? >> absolutely not. lauren: he had -- he's blaming poverty. >> no, if we want to really be honest, jesus talked about this a long time ago. he said the poor will be with us always so then what is your excuse? you can't eradicate poverty. there's always going to be poor people. what about those that choose to do the right things in life? those that choose 20 go to work and school and not get involved in the activities that truly lead to violence. those people are being slaughtered within the city of chicago. a study came out recently by
11:04 am
harvard university saying that by the time a black or hispanic person in the city of chicago becomes 40 years old, they've seen someone shot or been shot themselves. howdies tubbing is that? it's the reality that many people face within the city of chicago. he's already, brandon johnson, has already failed his first real test as mayor. memorial day weekend is a historically violent time within the city of chicago. sending out people who are essentially babysitters into the particular communities aren't having the kind of effect that one, him may have expected was possible or whatever his conclusion might have been, if you don't have law and order attached and police officers with the resources they need, no county prosecutors that are prosecuting the law and not allowing people to come in and out of jail. if you don't have state legislators who don't push things like the safety act, which de-criminalizes in a way
11:05 am
and create a no bail situation for second degree murder, arson, many other crimes. there's a major failure that's happening within the city of chicago as well within the state of illinois and mayor brandon johnson just got there, people want to give him a chance, but he's failing that test and the legislators in illinois and the prosecutors have been failing that test for a very long time now. lauren: you speak with passion and i hope they're listening. "this is a collective issue of justice for all p people". have voters lost hope or is there issues they deem far more important than getting money because of the color of their skin and what happened in the past? >> i actually agree. i think that black voters, which when you look at polling and continue to look at polling,
11:06 am
they favor reparations but in the words of george w. bush of all people, fool me once, shame an you. fool me twice, shame on me. fool me, can't be fooled a third time. they use this reparations argument every chance they get around an election and talk about task force at the state level, they've done it at national level. it's always been a conversation and what they use is to rally black support for canned schism i was a lobbyist and i know what the task fortses are for. a lot don't amount to anything and black americans know this is a fraud. that's all it is. you want to gen up the black vase around race issues to try and win elections. people don't believe it anymore, and that's why this is falling flat on its face in congress right now. lauren: gianno called well, thank you very much -- caldwell, thank you very much. >> thanks for having me. lauren: checking the markets.
11:07 am
mike, i read your commentary and you don't think a debt agreement is good news for the market. why do you say that? >> well, you may see a little bit of a short term bounce for stocks in that the default risk is completely off the table and not that it was ever a realistic option, but what has to happen is the treasury needs to fund their liquidity act and they'll issue between $500 and $800 billion in short term treasury bills and will take a massive amount ofly quitty out of the market -- of liquidity out of the market and the market particularly tech stocks have taken off since this silicon valley bailout. a lot of that has to do with the emergency liquidity that the fed and treasury pumped into the market to backstop a lot of banks. well, this liquidity is a backdoor version of qe, and what will happen right after this debt ceiling is a backdoor version of quantitative tightening.
11:08 am
that tightening should put some near term pressure on stocks while i think the economy continues to deteriorate and however if these massive ai stocks keep pushing the major indexes higher, you could see a flattish or somewhat higher market and i think underneath the surface, things are gradually getting worse. lauren: yeah, this is where we stand, end of the month is near, thursday is june 1 and dow down 3% this month and the nasdaq is up 6%. that's quite a dichotomy and much to do with nvidia and ai. your thoughts? >> yeah, it's all ai. without the artificial intelligence and stocks and market is up, 8, 9% and without the stocks, it'd be down 2-3% and it's not only nvidia and microsoft and powering the market through and their revenue is down 4% year over year and
11:09 am
you have a tremendous amount of liquidity sloshing around out there and that i saw the cow guy saying -- mentioning this earlier today and the rates or percentage chance for another rate hike in june has gone for basically zero a months ago to close to two-thirds and over 60% now and i think as the market soldiers on, and if it continues to get pushed higher, the fed will have to do more and more short term orientation stomp out this excess liquidity or we'll be stuck with inflation as far as the eye can see. lauren: what do you think we'll hear from the jobs report on friday is? that's when we get the jobs report for the month of may and expecting a slow down in the number of jobs restored or created but is the feds work in terms of bringing down the job market working? >> you know, i don't know if we're going to see that in this number. i think we might have a few more numbers to go, but if you've been watching and paying attention, half of the job
11:10 am
growth over the last year, job growth that's defied all logic and reasoning, on a spread sheet by the bureau of labor is it a it's icks and probably get a headline pretty good number and revised dramatically lower and what i'd be looking at in the headline this friday is not necessarily the headline number, but the revisions in what we see from the prior two months and how they look and last couple months, they've been particularly whoive ick and that trend needs to continue -- horrific and that trend needs to continue and the unemployment rate needs town crease by about 50% from here to get unemployment under control. >> excuse me, inflation under control. lauren: okay. got you. we're talking about apple before and i just pulled it up, 178.99. just moments ago apple shares hit animal yule high. an annual high so tech keeps booming. nvidia are very expensive right
11:11 am
now and this year it's more than doubled and nvidia is up 166%. 166% since january. are there any alternatives to buy part of the ai game a little bit cheaper? >> well, you know what, there are, it's really hard to say and it's hard to find, which is part of the reason why nvidia is trading at 50 times -- sorry 20 times revenue. if their revenue and keep increasing and going from their 7 or $8 billion a quarter and guiding for the next quarter and raise that guidance north of 11 billion, the largest rates of revenue die dance i've seen in my career -- guidance in my career from an opposition to movement that size, you're paying over 20 times that and an unexplored place and hard to figure out where to in it, you're paying unbelievable, multiples to get involved here and i'd say the safer play is microsoft, which is not exactly cheap, but it's cheaper than
11:12 am
nvidia. lauren: mike, i'm not stuart and don't have to bring up microsoft. got it. good to see you. take a look at stocks moving at this hour. ford up in a big way and there you go. just about 5%, $12.68 a share and jeffries upgraded a fox and rallying more than 30% from here and like their decision to team up with tesla and super charger access for electric vehicles and i'm very interested in this. three row electric suv. not many of them on the market. then there's the global energy tech company n phase energy and going to expand in europe and partnered with a company called gnat tech, a whole sailer of solar and battery projects and they'll work together to distribute their products across europe and good enough to move that up just about 3% for n phase energy and bitcoin hit 28,000 level for the first time

11:20 am
portion of the agreement and conservative members of congress say the deal should have clawed back $80 billion from the irs as opposed to $1.4 billion in actually does. as freedom caucus member congressman dan bishop sarcastically puts it, so there will be $85,260 more irs agents rather than 87,000 to eat you alive. big win. even republicans who are undecided are looking closely at that irs funding portion of the bill. >> is it enough that we're not ending the 87,000irs workers forever but taking care of it for the next year? it's conservative policies and good things. i haven't read anything negative in it whatsoever and the calculation for everybody is simply is it enough? >> progressives on the other hand say the irs need more money, not less. they're criticizing part of the

11:22 am
>> well, if you make a promise as kevin mccarthy did and you make it a totem ick promise during the med similar elections, i -- midterm elections, you ought to keep them. the first act you make is we're going to abolish the 87,000 irs agents and that was the first thing speaker mccarthy did when he won the speakership. he laid down the gavel and that's what he said. $80 billion, that increase that joe biden was giving to the irs to come after middle class voters, we're abolishing that. we have just abolished it. that's what he said. that's not what happened. i just don't think -- if it's impossible and i understand it's very difficult to have a very slim majority in the house and they have no majority in the senate and i also know that in the senate you have mitch mcconnell their leader and lindsey graham have said up

front their biggest priority is ukraine. i understand that speaker mccarthy has a difficult road to hoe but you don't make a props and not keep it. unfortunately the minuscule amount less than $2 billion and they did manage to arrest that funding and if you can't keep the promise, don't make it. lauren: being kevin mccarthy and winning the speakership and he had to forge deals and alliances and relationship withs the hard right of the party. do you think because of those relationships that maybe metal detectors predicting cespedes torrs didn't have to -- predpredecessors didn't have too they can be mad about this? >> i think really as i'm told the debt scene in negotiations is not the place to win these
