good monday morning thanks very much for joining us this morning. . i hope you are having a good monday morning. i am maria bartiromo. it is monday, march 25, it is just before 8:00 a.m. on the east coast, time for hot topic of the hour former president trump facing a major deadline today to post a 454-million-dollar bond. in his civil fraud case, fox business correspondent lydia hu outside manhattan criminal court in new york city with details good morning. >> good morning, that is right former president donald trump, confronting two major legal threats today here in new york, he and lawyers will appear in manhattan criminal court today where they are going to ask judge to delay or

dismiss the hush money case that is filed by district attorney alvin bragg also as you mentioned deadline for the former president to post the massive appeal bond nearly half a billion dollars, to protect his assets, from new york attorney general letitia james, now donald trump son eric trump phase roughly four-million-dollar fine from judge engorra told you yesterday. >> every person can i get a half-billion-dollar bond maria there was nothing, they are laughing, top executives largest surety companies had never seen anything of this size what going start seizing assets if he can't pay something not available in the united states? >> trump lawyers earlier asked bond rereduced or waived entirely we've not heard from court on that yet, it is

possible, that the attorney general's office, trump lawyers could come up with an agreement if trump misses the deadline for appeal bond attorney general can immediately begin moving forward wefrts to seize his assets, could freeze bank accounts file liens on real estate those could be later used for foreclosures would greatly impair donald trump's ability to transact business in new york he also says he has cash on hand wants to use that for campaign. to be reelected to the white house as president of the united states, really growing pressure to post that bond, meanwhile, criminal case, if not further delayed, this is set to start april 15. i send it back to you. >> lydia thank you very much lydia hu in new york city, eric trump told me, that his father will not back down, that he has seen this kind of treatment before.

watch. >> this isn't is first rodeo the what he has been through is unit canable every attack you watch -- he is gonna win in november i don't care what they do he will never, ever, ever, stop fighting. maria: todd an important point election interference situation the fact that they are trying hard, to take his money, the money that he would use for campaign, that is why it is likely that this is interference in election six months away. >> if you ti it isn't coordinated admission by fani willis disapproves that meeting with joe biden doj for what reason? there is no reason for that a couple things people need to

remember, as today progresses donald trump can pay after thread would stay any enforcement actions, that lydia hu mentioned early, second, putting a lien on a property, is a very cumbersome complicated process, also we need to remember, as people in our audience probably know, just because letitia james puts a lien on one of these trump properties that doesn't mean she rises to the top of the lien priority, there are a lot of other creditors ahead of let letitia james, obviously, trump does not want encumbrance she is taking what she can did he val property hurt trump why trump wants to

use cash in this instance, if properties are out of his hand there is no telling he could apply it back, and let's face it doesn't seem letitia james would be inclined to sell at reduced price if you know what i mean. maria: just stunning to see the feds try to seize property you go to original issue the fact they claim that he overstated assets there are auditors that do that look at results half a billion-dollar fine, this is why you hear people like kevin o'leary from "shark tank" say he doesn't want to do business in new york today trump tomorrow could be him i don't have half a billion-dollar the end of the day this is going to prevent anybody that has a business or that is, you know understands capitalistic system hardworking person from running they know you've done

very well if you accumulated some wealth done good in business they know they can go after trump go after you preventing good, smart people from running as politicians for the government whether senate congress whether that is, you know president of the united states we need smart people that is running the government like a business, and people are just going to be scared to see what trump is going through, ramifications the president, this is going to scare lot of smart people away from running for congress and government. maria: just getting started a lot coming up quick break the squatter crisis surging across america, squatters shooedzing beverly hills mansion near lebron names' new home squatter hunter, taking matters into his hands how you hopes homeowners reclaim homes and properties from squatters. don't miss it. you are watching "mornings with maria" live on fox business.

profit moving people migrants around the world including across our southern border have links to isis i think common sense tells you if they run a trafficking in issuing of people most certainly use it to move operatives into the united states i am saying that situation excessiveness of the network is a threat if they can do what they did in moscow they would do it to us in a heartbeat. >> is almost a ing state sees all sides targets issis-kattacking russians chinese iranians americans joining me wisconsin senator ron johnson rankingmen of on investigations, thanks so much for joining me . >> morning i want first your take on boeing development breaking news the border decided to make a change, calhoun will step down at year-end, your thoughts, to

the issues at boeing, window blowing out, wheels coming off planes is this a boeing specific issue? or is the faa also clpable. >> i would say both in united states senate we haven't held hearings chairman blumenthal, subcommittee investigation we idea ceo come in testify i suggested to bring -- to from boeing's standpoint quality control, subcontracting problems based on that what are they doing to step up main nans, screaming for oversight in businesses to keep public safe. >> ceo sails i decided would be last year as ceo, the stock, obviously, has been

impacted, business has been impacted, but the biggest issue of all is safety. for fliers should we be afraid to fly? >> listen fly almost exclusively boeing 737 i am concerned we are holding a hearing, to hopefully provide comfort they've got this under control, this should be, brought under control, we have been we have systems in place for top quality, control. obviously, boeing not implementing the way they should i am hoping carriers have a backstop of excellent maintenance programs to provide comfort to the public. >> is it a lot to get to with you first off, border patrol chief jason owens calling the crisis at the southern border a national security threat something you have been saying

for years watch this. >> at the end of the day, there is over 1900 miles of border with mexico, now when you talk about 20,000, that sounds like a lot, you mull ty across entirety of the year are that number dwenlz fast that is a national security threat border security is a big peegs of national security if we don't know who is coming into our country we don't know what their intent is, that is a threat, exploiting vulnerability on the border. >> we've got a real vulnerability you know ways going on at border now worried about isis, so apparently we heard from fbi, that ice working with human trafficking networks at the southern border. >> first of all, isn't this obvious? it has been obvious for years,

screaming that biden democrats open borrowed policies clear and present danger to america we have people coming into our country from over 150 countries. so some military-aged men, from china, for example, but from other countries adversarialing to us, drug trafficking, human trafficking, sex trafficking, we are going to see ramifications for years if not decades does it take an isis attack in moscow to awaken biden administration to endangering i am not sure they are awake to is does it take havoc terrorist attack in america? let's hope not. maria: what are they doing? i mean when you see thousands of people coming in on daily basis through the border those people who are intending not to get apprehended the gotaways, what should we believe the motivations are? are they setting something up

creating new cells are chinese communist party directing the chinese to come here to become saboteurs later on? what do you think? >> well, we have reports from, the darién gap one camp played the by chinese military we have nongovernmental organizations next to them what is so sick about this uask taxpayers funding nongovernmental organizations facilitating into america we have people coming from all kinds of different, adversarial nations to this country people want to kill americans again this is obvious you know, extreme threat to our homeland. yet you ask what there are doing about it requesting more funding got more funding probably to be used to -- more efficient in -- dispersing we are two million gotaways no

idea who most are that come in the border six mill we don't know who people detected, never encountered or apprehended we have no idea who those people are, millions of people. this is what is it? 36 states the population less than number of people joe biden and democrats in congress let in this nation. obviously, this is -- national security homeland security threat. maria: right is obvious to anybody who looks at this senator, why is it that the republicans are having such a hard time actually securing the border president biden signed in massive one and one-quarter trillion-dollar spending package over the weekend, here again no money for the border, it includes 200 million dollars funding for new fbi headquarters, you've got 120 million there for border patrol but we don't know what that is o for? is that creating more housing for might having coming in biden over the weekend calls this good news for american

people urging congress to pass more spending wants 118-billion-dollar national security supplemental package with money to ukraine also wants to kill border deal from senate. >> your reaction. >> i voted "no" on that package so are same reins, basically defund s sanctuary cities voted down the problem we have here, maria is biden, and his democrats in congress, they want an open border, they caused this brob. he they are allies in mainstream media, they have been ignoring gord until mayor adams johnson, screaming -- mainstream media had to report it but negotiations completely bungled democrats aren't looking to secure border they want political cover they got some political cover i am hoping american public is smart enough to realize biden democrats want open border

facilitating this clear and present danger to this nation multibillion-dollar business model some of the most he evil people on plant a catastrophe the mainstream media not helping not like you are not like i am so many americans get news from mainstream media clueless you have a small in the house you are minority in the senate i imagine everybody agrees 35 trillion dollars in debt is not good for america only making us weaker a national security issue i spoke with maya macguineas on how u.s. can get out of this listen to what she said. >> it is about how to reduce debt three basic ways you raise taxes when i biden budget does a lot cut spending

biden budget doesn't do grow economy something we need to look at all policies we are forcing on, right now, the economy is -- dire need of some fiscal responsibility, right? we have strong enough growth that we can accommodate this is the moment, where we should be looking how to bring debt down not cutting taxes not raising spending. we are ignoring the entitlement programs. >> not a priority at all is it. >> no i would say number of one component is economic growth. so from my standpoint, to reduce the regulatory burden, you sit by rationalize tax code i don't want to increase taxes, but i want to simplify ration ives our tax code regulatory environment for flats like to over reg overtaxing will snuff out

examine economic activity the worst thing you can do. maria: we will leave it there senator lots of drama underway the house, as you know, in senate as well who do you want to see as leader of the senate at this point? >> i want to go through process where we as republican conference understand what we stand for willing to fight for mission statements principles going to operate under goals set hopefully out of that the leader will emerge. >> we will watch ought of that good to speak with you as always senator ron johnson in wisconsin. >> former president president facing clock ticking to pay half a billion-dollar bond, or being new york officials could begin to sleaze property and bank accounts markets in the green big rally underway first quarter kieshgingo last week of march and the end of the first quarter ep 10% year-to-date on the s&p 500 we'll be right back you are watching "mornings with maria"

quarter. the dow industrials down 57, nasdaq down 91, keep s&p lower by 15 1/2 right now after a mixed day on friday, dow was down better than 300 points, nasdaq up a fraction, we are looking at best week since december. last week, and look at this market year-to-date has been fantastic quarter for stocks dow industrials up almost 5% on the quarter nasdaq up almost 10% on the quarter same with s&p 500, up in first quarter ends next weekend, joining me now laffer tengler ceo plansy tengler do you think this continues this year. >> i do by year-end, i also think that you know we're in a period where we could get some sloppy trading earnings are done they were great fourth quarter, up 10% versus

estimates of 5, so that was really good news i think what you are seeing, is that the market now doesn't have a catalyst we got news from fed, was very mixed in my view, in terms of of what he actually said the market interpreted it positively now we've got i think to rest a little bit i wouldn't be surprised if correction that i would be buying the dip. maria: glad you said that bostic basically put water on all expectations of rate hikes. rate cuts, pardon me, the fed official said to expect only one rate cut this year, bostic noted troubling things in inflation data we talked about this cpi hotter than expected does that, put a damper on our expectations for the fed to make three rate cuts he is saying one. >> i think he might be right

by the way, what fed chair powell said that was so befuddling, he said financial conditions weighing on market stocks all-time high as dollar stable kort funds have come in that belies the fact you know that we've drown analogy to 90s what we saw then think fed will take that was aggressive hiking in 1994, not, three in 95 nothing in 96, higher for longer above 5% then increase 25 basis points in 97. in that scenario stocks quite nicely strong returns second half of the 90s higher triple-digits i think rafael bostic was right concerned that inflation may not continue to come down, it may you know stay sticky, that is going to put pressure on the fed not to cut rates. maria: i think i agree with you actually, nancy i am

totally shocked that this market is still betting on all rate cuts when inflation is elevated the economy is slowing but not as much to all those can you tell us your take on a headline european union opened a probe into google apple meta apparent facebook would what they say nonappliance with digital markets act, googleplay apple's app store google search safari we're going to look into this see what kind of costs this represents for big tech companies you know european union has not been shy throwing fines probes of u.s. media social media companies, continuing this morning. >> i think interesting are thing that commission itself

decides if the companies -- voided the rules as digital marketing act i think the fix is in, stocks not doing much this morning off fractionally some was anticipated, but i think, what i -- i find so interesting about government regulatory bodies they don't operate in same world we do if they need money they print it whereas companies have to make a profit this will get passed through one way or the other one way or the other to the consumer no one will be better off at the end of the day. >> you don't think major impact here the first probes under dominance rule making a test for danieling law in europe. >> yeah. i think there will be disruption to some tent, on -- price in stocks we have he had a we known apple, google, and we reduced some exposure in

anticipation of increasing regulatory pressure, so we will see, i think the companies will find way to survive on weakness in a position have already announced share buybacks i think you will see that putting a floor under the stock prices, so, they may not do much for many -- a number of months or even years but they won't i don't think they will fall off the map in terms of price performance. maria: are and then you've got news on boeing, nancy, boeing ceo dave calhoun will step down the board chair replaced in wake talking about the crisis around the 737, dave calhoun said going to step down end of 2024 in part of a broad management shake-up for embattled company chairman of the -- board kilmer resigning going to leave the board at boeing's annual meeting this may and president

ceo of boeing airplanes leaving immediately, cleaning house around 737 people are afraid to fly what is your take on boeing news? would you look at this as a reason to actually get comfortable owning the stock? >> -- yes. i am amazed that it took this long, all of the -- all of the news has been negative, prior to calhoun, now with him there is not done anything to repair the problem, improve morale change culture i think bullish for the stock up he will modestly in premarket up a couple percent but i think this is where you let it settle then step in, we owned it we got out when they will eliminated the dividend, with all the problems. but because it has such a mode around it stock price much higher than it should be, if we were in a very competitive sector of the market but we're

not. so this against who they hire i would wait to see that because management is a single most important thing we pay attention to our top, fundamental is to being that we analyze along with capitalist performance you've got to have right people in charge. maria: that was a good warning sign, when they eliminated the dividend for you to get out there quick nancy before you go tell us how you are allocating capital, in light of all of this, for 2024. you say by year-end you will see this rally continue but maybe we will have volatility midyear? who is a your take in terms of putting more than to work. >> so we actually in many clients accounts starting to increase exposure to equity they were fully exposed previously in anticipation of rates coming down at some point. we are looking for opportunities in the equity market and investing theme is

. right now with more on all is former acting u.s. attorney general matt whitaker thank you so much for joining me this morning, eric trump tried to make the best case, didn't look like they had a plan in terms of posting some portion of this money how do you think this plays out? >> yeah, we're going to learn a lot today right first of all,, as soon as the sun goes down, if there isn't a bond posted or collateral posted would i expect letitia james will tart taking action against bank accounts, and start processes at certain -- properties, but remember the whole fundamental basis for this case is so flawed so unfair so un-american, i think about how this case is based

on loans that were repaid with interest with bank said they would loan the money again, maria. it is -- ludicrous to suggest somehow to secure bond make sure property the isn't seized he has to come up with almost a half billion dollars. >> can you imagine that no victims he paid all money back, yet, he has got this kind of -- a fine that he is facing, meanwhile, you've got people running around, robbing stores, attacking people in the streets, there is absolutely -- you know, no accountability whatsoever. eric trump as i mentioned with me a minute ago with me yesterday here is what he said about all of this, watch. >> this is new york state this is where a we're seeing, letitia james, campaigned on this promise now there are making him do something not physically possible a half-million-dollar bond, bonds that size don't the

would lead ultimately to a sale if you look at how this is done, typically, are there will be arguments in court i am sure that president trump and his companies will go to court and they will try to get -- temporary injunction letitia james has to sort out ownership structure whether mortgages on properties not easy process but state has, tremendous resources to bring it. the frustrating thing for a lot of folks u.s. legal system take a step back supposed to be fair predictable if targeted at donald trump could be targeted at anybody viewed unfavorable unliked i think going to chill business activity in new york state maybe in united states if this is how it continues to work. maria: yeah. i -- i mean that is certainly what the worry is you've already had a couple people say they are questioning doing business in new york.
