of what is happening there, in port of baltimore we are going to feel much more than normally works their policies are going to affect us, didn't cause bridge to collapse reaction -- >> reaction to the impacts of the shipping collapse, shipping analyst john former acting secretary of transportation new jersey congressman jeff van due, the crash killed six people presumed dead this morning. monica we talked yesterday that this obviously, is a horrifically interest story that peoples lives at stake yesterday, but today looking more on the economic impact. and, of course, we are waiting for more closure on six people presumed dead. >> this is going to have a massive ripple effect not just for a baltimore we talked to john catsimatidis about the fact there a massive impact

nationwide as well, because a lot obviously, talking about trucking, et cetera. but a lot of hazardous materials went over that bridge as well so talking about nitrogen critical chemicals things by military quantity g through the tunnel system the follow-on effective economically is massive, and the interesting question is how long it is going to take to rebuild this. this is a massive span i am sure all of us in northeast have been across this, think about previous massive from your projects big dig in boston took 16 years to build a little tunnel in boston, we're not where we were like at turn of the last century put up entire state building in 8 months, it takes a lot longer with environmental impact studies this brimming out of commission for a while. >> talking about coal exports

one of the more important to look at in 2023 second busiest but, also, a cries terminal norwegian carnival caribbean using that ports, for atlantic destinations you could see impact on trips, cruise trips president biden said he planned to travel to baltimore as quickly as he can claims to use the ride over train over francis scott key bridge that never featured rail traxion what he was talking about here is what he said yesterday. >> 130 comparison trucks francis scott key bridge over many, many times from state of delaware by train or car, been in baltimore harbor many times. >> that is a politician being a politician yeah taking a bridge trains cars, it is hollow comments like that that

are so upsetting there is no substance behind it. >> amtrak joe. >> amtrak joe he used to take amtrak when a senator back-and-forth. maria: no train on the bridge. >> no train on bridge a bridge was primarily used by trucks people, commuting, it was built to enable hazardous chemicals from one side of baltimore to the other would keep them out of opportunels that was a risk, so, yeah there is a ripple effect. whether it is trains, no or not there is an absolute ripple effect. >> that is leader of the free world, saying this to american people at a time when an american tragedy we need you to know act quickly swiftly we need to cut government regulation that will slow any you know, processing and trying to get back up running i think number one priority is to get this open absolutely. and your guest maria, said it

is such 19, 57 years to build that said much longer tie. maria: the infrastructure money he said was -- we're going to see what happens with conversations in washington when they get back from easter recess whether or not, talking about another supplemental spending package, quick break markets on the move taking a look at that when we come back final read fourth quarter gdp are tomorrow morning ahead of it that you are watching "mornings with maria" live on fox business. stay with us. . investment opportunities are everywhere you turn. but at t. rowe price, we're letting curiosity light the way. asking smart questions about opportunities like advances in healthcare. and how these innovations will create a healthier world tomorrow.

you sing about “price lock” on those commercials. “the price lock, the price lock...” so, if you could change the price, change the name! it's not a lock, i know a lock. so how can we undo the damage? we could all unsubscribe and switch to xfinity. their connection is unreal. and we could all un-experience this whole session. okay, that's uncalled for.

to look at futures another rally underway about an hour before topping bell sounds for wednesday dow industrials up 148, nasdaq up 71, the s&p 500 higher by 18 right now, extending record performance we've been seeing pretty much all year and last year, maersk plummeted more than 6% as confirming had charted the ship that crashed into baument bridge to lows 2 1/2 percent the collapse disrupting 80 billion dollars cargo traveled

through port of baltimore first for volume of key commodities joining me to talk about impact on markets the economy is the chief investment officer federated hermès equities, stephen auth here great to see you -- >> you've been right about this economy right about this market talking about goldilocks economy i know that, you wrote in your most recent it is less lonely people agreeing with you does this change anything for you in terms of this goldlocks perfect situation now that we know this is going to only pressure commodities higher. >> yeah first of all it is tragic news for people involved marginally negative for the economy but very, very big economy. this is a large port tenth largest port it handles 3 or 4% total u.s. volume heavyer cost of shipping for cars,, 1

or 2% shipping a marginal shipping costs going higher clearly going to divert to other ports not going to help inflation story we have thought all along inflation is going to be sticky never been buyers of the six cuts now down to three we think one or two, as long as economy you want more or less holding up inflation not a bad thing. maria: look. at this point, you said over and over you like to apply stocks on pullback, if we're going to see one cut two, cuts as opposed to the three or six the market was expecting, down the that create disruption doubt that create a sell-off did the market kiss expecting all cuts you don't think we're getting telling them with you ratings for that sell-off to come in and buy stocks. >> i am waiting if we get a sell-off i am waiting to buy stocks but a bull market

buying pullbacks not selling rally ironically our idea of the sticky inflation, slow, that should be helping the market. the people that have been thinking six cuts been forecasting recession. that would have been bad for earnings bad for the economy, that is why you are going to get six cuts, if you are getting, less cuts because economy is going well, the better news what is happening with earnings earnings going to 250 this year 275 next year a little ahead of consensus not tons ahead, we are seeing, importantly, beyond the magnificient 7 back half of the year where we think still value in the market. maria: the beyond magnificient 7 talking small caps. >> we like small caps overweight there overweight value overweight international merging markets areas we think there is probably lift in the back half they lagged. >> you think we can have

another winner year. >> already up, we were targeting 5200 this year we are there six thousand for next year, going to weigh into that through course of the year who knows it could be something he big accident or of some kind so far so good. maria: look. we are seeing new ipos as well, a window capital market roir, whether a do you make of former president donald trump's emerged social media company performance djt, the symbol, of course, is his initials stock soared up again this morning most expensive to bet against surging better than 50% minutes after beginning trading yesterday you don't normally speak specific stocks, it is up 16% trump median technology group what do you think? >> i can't talk about ipos because we are heavily involved in most ipos what i will say we are very

encouraged by performance of that ipo, and few last week bigger ones a few littler ones, earlier in the week that is a good sign for markets ipo market in general is starting to lift, after two-year bear market. we have a backlog of deals pretty good companies coming to market now a good sign for the broader market. >> maybe things come off the shelf that were on the shelf waiting because we had dearth of activity how things go in election year does that play into analysis at all. >> one of the things we said earlier on this could be a boring election i know sound it is exciting from news perspective. but when you got unusual situation two incumbents running against each other policy on certainty is not there one reason may see lift

in the market faster than we thought, is the market is starting to feel like -- well, maybe this could work out, i mean if president trump gets reelected going to be supply-side driven reforms the tax extensions things like that that, would help under this inflation problem we've got would actually add another log to the fire as i said to guys if people on both sides of the aisle remember whoever wins election majority of investors by definition think a good thing, so the other thing i say u.s. economy is powerful the private sector is unstop ofable, the most dynamic economy i just got back from a week in london. they look to this economy as the dynamic force of the world. maria: true. >> the u.s. government can only do so much damage. maria: we will see, all the money that is flowing in all stimulus is basically offsetting what federal government chairman jay powell

is trying to do look. it is holy week i want to end on beautiful note because you wrote an incredible book, to museum took me on a tour to met pollan museum of part pointed out the painting 1562 to 1563 how it applies during the blessed holy week. >> this is one of the largest oil paintings in the world 2 two feet high, 33-feet long, hangs at the louvre across from mona lisa the christ first miracle turned to wine, a precursor of tomorrow the passover, supper last supr with apostles quotes, painting after da vinci quotes did

the heels of comments from chuck schumer, negative comments about bibi netanyahu no longer receivers people of israel new election, get him out, sherrod brown senator there saying he would equate hamas and bibi netanyahu president buying say chuck schumer's speech was good speech, of course, resulting in israelis canceling delegate trip to united states access the situation for us now. >> well maria that is pretty good laydown of the situation the waigs that israel, whatever secretary austin says where, close maybe true we have not proven to be a reliable partner allowed u.n. to pass a resolution for fire without tying to release of hostages you can't go to rafah without -- the idf isn't going into rafah without a

implementable plan a detailed plan to try to minimize casualty they understand what is at stake series warriors, so unfortunately what this biden administration has done listened to loudest voices on radical left pro hamas wing of party abandoned or allies very difficult given hamas power in negotiations, hamas why negotiate with israels you have americans on your side not on you, you tell hamas to lie down weapons return hostages senior leaders handed over fighting stops tomorrow, with israelis to do opposite conduct fees cease-fire this is in the middle of the their

fight for survival, attacking netanyahu israel delegation levying qatar after hamas again rejected any terms for new hostage deal israel prime minister netanyahu office writes on x, hamas' stance demonstrates utter disinterest in negotiated deal attacking the u.n. securities counsel demanding cease-fire without conditioning the clause fightingries of hostages, the u.s. abstained, that was the last straw for the israelis why they canceled their trip here are why does the administration keep curbing a fire when we all know hamas not agreeing to any terms of hostage release? >> should maria, this is a mind-set that president biden

had for a decade about middle east doesn't understand iran is at center of all of this all this evil, calls them pariah the administration taking houthis off terror watch liz starts to negotiate with iranians on weapons program all these things empower iranians because of hamas deal free to go massive invasion horrible brutality october 7 what happened a u.n. failure to lead automatic in the trump administration this would have been -- to not veto that resolution no tie to anything no commitment from hamas to do a darned thing other than not fire back when israelis come after them be trayce our partnership with israel i say this, saudis to allow this the

russians chinese did do not feel they have a friend, they see president biden engaged in political theatre so they can win handful of votes in michigan so he can be reflected, that is not the way one ought to be conducting foreign policy. >> political theatre the issue so many saying all about votes the president biden is worried that he is going to lose the pro-palestinian vote in michigan as you said, minnesota, and that is why he has done this -- this about-face, it is maddening keeping a spotlight on it for sure i've got to ask you about communist china you've been so knowledgeable, on this issue, even before it was so clear of communist china's goals motives against america xi jinping meeting with american ceos academics in beijing today a chief executives blackstone qualcomm fedex in have attendance xi jinping said china has gone through

all sorts of difficulties clalz to get where it is today called for more cooperation between united states and china secretary calling for more cooperation, while he undermines the country in plain sight. >> yeah, classic chinese propaganda mug them on the backside deliver fentanyl destroying the country, threaten taiwan come after philippines billed a military, no intention of win-win solutions what chinese talk about they say we want win-win solutions xi jinping has as deep intention hegemony to control as much global economy as he can american business have a responsibility i get it there we encouraged them go there ho years show not a be naïve allowing companies to operate inside china because in the best interest there will come a day that won't be true much like many other american companies thae kicked out, stolen intellectual

property attempted to destroy will do that to each when time is right. american ceos looking at 1.4 billion person population trying to sell goods, but enablers of nazi germany back in the day as well would you equate xi jinping to nazi germany in have where we are no, you in perhaps in the 1930s different for handful not least of by deep economic connectivity between two but challenge maria, i think is indeed the same we are fighting about what is the world going to look like 25, 50 years ago from now is it going to operate on model that benefited united states of america enormously leadership rule of law basic property rights human dignity or looking like a world where all about power, who can steal from a whom, those are two differences the models, we have to get them right then

maria, you and i talked about this before not just taking populations inside of china we worry has what is taking place at home inside gates united states chinese communist party operated deeply inside our country we conducted largest counter operation in history of the united states in trump administration chinese have not gone away want to undermine our republic we have to do everything we can we have tools power to do it to prevent that from happening. >> we question why joe biden just won't do it whether or not compromised, secretary quick before you go i want your take on this, deal in the world dealmakers increasingly worried about national security issues affecting m&a you've got company, selling ammunition business for almost two billion dollars, to a chechnyan group prague based conglomerate kamentel back water bottles, publicly traded company what are your thoughts

about u.s. ammunition business sold to a czech company. >> my answer, for direct investment a friend ally i want money to i want them to invest in united states a long held policy, i think the best thing for our country, thousands of jobs hr when you get into space like ammunition technology, gets more complicated you need to make sure you understand, who the owners are there is not ab beneficial owner connected to chinese communist partyed by it if they want money in to build stuff here use their capital to mep america's economy grow i am all for it. maria: okay. and ammunition business seems pretty close to home in terms of -- >> i agree close i don't know the facts of that i agree ammunition is close to home take american weapon systems technology into american weapon systems we definitely want control of those. >> thank you, sir. . >> thank you. >> and to you, a blessed

(jennifer) the reason why golo customers have such long term success is because we focus on real foods in the right balance so you get the results you want. when i tell people how easy it was for me to lose weight on golo, they don't believe me. they don't believe i can eat real food and lose this much weight. the release supplement makes losing weight easy. release sets you up for successful weight loss because it supports your blood sugar levels between meals so you aren't hungry or fatigued. after i started taking release, the weight just started falling off. since starting golo and taking release, i've gone from a size 12 to a 4. before golo, i was hungry all the time and constantly thinking about food. after taking release, that stopped. with release, i didn't feel that hunger that comes with dieting. which made the golo plan really easy to stick to. since starting golo and release,

i have dropped seven pant sizes and i've kept it off. golo is real, our customers are real, and our success stories are real. why not give it a try? >> i think president trump win hispanic vote, to watch biden and brown reward people break our lus is infuriating on top

act you own tito's cantina how is this impacting hispanic community since you own titos. >> i think from hiring employees, all the way to produce, meat for our business, up to 7 to 15% increase over, six, seven months, what future holds just here in america people trying to pay the bill when i went to supermarket i used to pay for week's worth of food it costs me from 150 to 200 dollars now 300 to 350 dollars, just mind-blowing gal gallon of milk 10 dollars i know a lot of friends that are latino, are wake up a lot of
