everyone. thank you for joining us this morning. i am maria bartiromo, thursday march 28, your top stories from his exam on the east coast rescue crews retrieving two bodies from the patapsco river after the baltimore collapse with hazardous material leaking into the harbor the recovery of the meaning for bodies ongoing, white house officials pointed to congress for aid in paying the bill of the reconstruction the very latest all morning long, markets this morning are lower futures indicating a negative opening out of key economic data and the final gdp is out this morning, dow industrial downtime points, nasdaq down 21 as appeal over by foreign half, fractional decline add of this morning's 8:30 a.m. release of the gdp with initial jobless claims we will bring you those numbers. european markets higher across-the-board s&p 140 points, the cat, 45, doctor index in

germany higher by 26. in asia a mixed story the numbers look like this with the worst performer to japan down what it happened. xi jinping telling american ceos visiting beijing they need to invest in china more despite national security laws which undermine foreign independence, the colonists leader claiming its economy has not peaked. new fox news polls this morning spell bad news for president biden as half of americans disapprove of aspects of biden's job performance from the economy to inflation and weak policies on immigration. president trump leading biden by the biggest margin yet. special tribute to joe lieberman who passed away yesterday at the age of 82. his political legacy coming up this morning, joining the conversation all morning long caroline down easier, strategic

wealth partner mark tepper is here and senate candidate joe pinion is here. "mornings with maria" is live right now. >> time for the hot topic of hour fox news polls finding former president trump leading biden by five points nationally in a head-to-head matchup, this is the biggest lead against joe biden and a hypothetical five way race, trump is ahead of 42% with biden behind him and jfk junior at 12% coming in at number three, joe biden is at 38% when asked what the biden administration greatest accomplishments, 38% said nothing half of the voters said there were soft today than compared to 2020, mark tepper your reaction. >> i can imagine is better off squatters or illegal migrants. when you look at bidenomics the whole philosophy is president biden wanted to grow the economy from the bottom up in the middle out but in actuality he's gone the government from the top down

it's not good if you're middle-class american i said this a week or two ago but the average american with the median household income of $75000 could care less the nvidia makes a new all-time high every single day they care about the fact that they don't have enough money in the checking accounts to put food on the table, they care that the work multiple jobs to make ends meet thank god for uber and doordash that is only thing giving americans in addition to credit card space a lifeline. maria: grade-point all-around the issues remain immigration in the economy. >> you look at american discontent and real-time into flashback to the greatest hits of politics. yesterday you go back to walter mondale and ronald reagan are you better off today than you were four years ago and if you look at the guiding doctrine for

bill clinton, it's the economy stupid. you examine joe biden through the lens and he fails by every one. that's what most americans are experiencing there is no substance to the rhetoric when you talk about the economy and they're certainly not better off today than four years ago if you look at sovereignty on the southern border or the stability of the free world and most importantly if you're just looking across-the-board these americans today understand to your point that the same democrats that told us the gdp was not a measure of success of americans are now trying to use the gdp as a distraction to the fact that their poor and worse off because of joe biden's reckless policy. maria: no wonder joe biden is looking from help from his friends bill clinton and barack obama and the major fundraising in new york. >> biden's campaign is increasingly fragile and spooked by independent third-party candidates like rfk junior so much so jfk launched a special

team to combat them, is pulling out all the stops because of biden's abysmal approval ratings because they know if the numbers don't change biden is headed for defeat it's the chop nostalgia that is a serious danger to his reelection and it's not about a popularity contest this time. it's about quality of life for years ago versus today the border used to be secure now wide open, commodities used to be cheaper nothing affordable now. it's a cross-section the voters will be using the sourness of 2020 has worn off and the pandemic is in the rearview mirror and people can compare with clarity. maria: it's not even feeling worse off than 2020. it's actually feeling scared and crime is skyrocketed, there are no consequences for criminal. this is democrat policy. >> there is no law and order we've seen it time and time again someone commits a heinous

crime and release from jail with no cash bail you're putting criminals on the street but at the same point in time you have the attorneys going after non- criminals. they're exhausted all the resources going after trump weather in the new york fraud case or alvin bragg case, no matter whatever the going after the wrong people and people feel less safe today and obviously crime is a huge issue and that's going to matter come the election. that's one of the reasons biden is behind it all seven states. maria: i think this election is about national security and personal security. >> we really think it's about fairness. what is the indictment of joe biden's presidency and people who do things the right way get left behind and everybody else ushered to the front of the line when you talk about the border in the migrants getting the debit cards and accommodations to live with a 300 300 drug cot while americans are struggling

day today that's the snapshot not only were soft but they don't care if you're worse off there promoting the needs of everybody but the backbone of the american academy. maria: even as corruption in plain sight when it comes to the biden family when you listen to the house oversight and it looks bad especially since joe biden keeps telling everybody to pay their fair share we know hunter biden did not. >> the corruption is rampant in many americans could see through that right now is pretty transparent and biden promised normalcy in 2020. instead he drove the country off the rails. maria: let's take a break were just getting started this morning. we stayed on the recovery efforts after the francis got key bridge collapsed into the patapsco river. two people confirmed dead and others are still missing and the recovery of the bodies continues this morning we will have the latest. the state of the economy as we wait key data the final gdp is

will. maria: welcome back, take a look at futures indicating a decline, dow industrial down eight, the nasdaq down above and the s&p lower by three points but stocks closed higher yesterday the stock up better than forger 50 points and now s&p 500 set for the best beginning to the year since 2019.

market year to date dow industrial 5.5%, nasdaq died in a quarter s&p 500 higher by better than 10% in the first quarter which ends tomorrow. look at the ten year treasury yield ahead of the final read of fourth-quarter gdp at 8:30 a.m. eastern the yield is up three and a third basis points sitting at four-point to 2% economists are expected the gdp to come in at a growth rate of 3.2 percent, we will also get the february pce index out tomorrow, joining us ahead wealth management group president gina bolding, thank you for being here, what are you expecting from the date of this morning and overall inflation in the coming months. >> good morning maria, we are expecting an uptick in the pc which is coming out tomorrow good friday when the market closed. i don't think it's going to be that much of a market mover. it'll show a little bit of increase of inflation on the heels of the cpi and the ppi

that came out on january and february and powell is expecting this as well so i don't think it's going to be a game changer for the market or the fed. maria: we got new information from the fed because christopher waller out yesterday saying there is no rush to lower interest rates but he expects the first move to happen this year, when are you expecting rate cuts and what about the comment from waller no rush to cut rates now. >> we've seen this this is a constant theme were the fed officials are coming out and throwing cold water over the market expectation of rates cuts but the market keeps moving higher so we came out last night after the close and he was hawkish and we saw cook come out and rafael bostic cities only expecting one rate cut in the

market is not listening. it's not affecting the earnings season or the macro story. maria: mark tepper jump in with gone from six rate cut to three rate cuts to now no rush. >> i doubt we get three rate cuts. when you have inflation accelerating we see the readings commit and a 0.4% month over month, that does not seem to be an economic environment where the fed should be cutting rates in the first place but i want to talk to you about the market. typically in an election year we see a drawdown or a pullback in the 15 - 16% range during election years, we have seen nothing of that sort so far, the market continues to go up almost every single day there is minimal volatility and complacency and you look at the underlying fundamentals there's an increasing number of stocks making 52 week highs almost every day, young operating

margins expanding and when those conditions are present it's very rare that you see a meaningful pullback i want to get your take if there will be a pullback on the market this year to give investors an opportunity who may have missed out on stocks and get it out of discount. >> it's been an incredible year and i've been bullish but even this is a surprise to me. absolutely expect a correction but good luck trying to time it. you mentioned it's an election year election year is when cabinets are running on average 12% i think it could be better than that this year because we have two candidates running there were very familiar with, i expect a correction but i don't think the bull market is over. what i really like about this market we've seen great participation in industrials and

financials are outperforming the nasdaq and the technology stocks this year so rotation is a lifetime to enable market and that is why it's a healthy bull market and i think it'll continue to run. maria: you have these outside events change in the narrative first you have the bullying of the ships in the red sea and as a result the maersk ships had to go around the african horn that elevated oil prices another collapse of the baltimore bridge on tuesday global ocean carriers telling logistic companies in u.s. shippers that once a cargo is dropped off at a port it's no longer the responsibility. i spoke with analyst at breakaway advisor and managing partner john course onus was on the here and your program yesterday he said we will see an increase in consumer prices as a result of this, watch this. >> will happen freight rates move higher, the number one

especially on the consumer good shipping things that we use everyday, cars, car parts you will see a marginal increase of the delivered price of the go goods. maria: in 2023 the port was the second busiest for coal exports, obviously we've talked about liquefied natural gas, wastepaper, automobiles and even the cruise lines a cruise terminal norwegian, carnival use the port for the caribbean and other atlantic designations these are all areas that were expecting prices to move higher, your reaction expectation for inflation as a result. >> as powell said in the fomc meeting last week he expects puffiness and inflation and while this is a tragedy will happen with the bridge i think it's not going to affect the macro story most vehicles are

imported by land from canada and mexico and when we think about the stock market were really focused on fundamentals and earnings growth and that's where we seen tremendous resiliency and that's where the market is moving higher even though we see an uptick in inflation. maria: we will leave it there, great to talk with you. she double than on the markets and the economy, thank you so much, happy easter. former president trump extended his lead over president biden new polls spelling disaster for the biden administration policies, dan meuser is here with reaction to biden's efforts to open a headquarters in the keystone state, stay with us. ♪

her uncle's unhappy. i'm sensing an underlying issue. it's t-mobile. it started when we tried to get him under a new plan. but they they unexpectedly unraveled their “price lock” guarantee. which has made him, a bit... unruly. you called yourself the “un-carrier”. 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. okathe future is here.for.

have provisions that allow us to begin leasing funding while that is being determined last i checked $950 million available but also a long line of projects behind that. i would go so far to say likely we may be turning to congress in order to help top up the funds. maria: those transportation secretary pete buttigieg saying he doesn't know how much is going to cost to rebuild the francis kottke bridge in baltimore suggesting congress will need to approve more money. treasury secretary janet yellen says insurance companies will help cover reconstruction expense. >> my expectation would be ultimately there will be insurance payments in part to cover this. but we don't want to allow worrying about where the financing is coming to hold up for construction.

maria: joining the pennsylvania congressman dan meuser of the house financial services and small business committees. good to see you, thank you so much for being here. what is your take on this will congress need to pony up more money or is there enough money in the infrastructure package. >> great to be with you maria. it was kind of outrageous for biden to express in the tragedy that is going to use federal funds to pay for an entirety, he doesn't refer to as the american taxpayer dollars on anything, the first reaction and the only reaction tends to be to spend, this was a tragedy we all solid, people lost their lives and it's a very important port as you mentioned a little while ago a lot of pennsylvania's coal ship out of it 25%, automobiles, natural gas. he needs to be corrected but this is singapore flagship number one so what responsibility are they going to have.

janet yellen is they get a little bit out of the box rather than spend the taxpayers money and see what insurance funding would be and we gotta get on that we cannot take the easy route all the time i try to spend the taxpayers money. something asked all add on the tni bill there was $400 billion in access and that's why i did not vote for 900 billion was one thing, one point to five, three to 50 billion extra yen maryland got almost $5 billion in addition to the standard tni funding. they have got the money. >> this was exactly what i was referring to we've been sitting here for three years that this president has signed into law and i spoke with active transportation secretary who said we don't need congress involved we are the appropriated money and it's in the infrastructure plan that president biden signed into law. watch this. >> we don't need a new supplemental for this bridge, we

are awash in infrastructure money from the presidents infrastructure bill in 2021 huge amounts of money that congress has appropriated, we should repurpose and divert some of the money. maria: isn't that the reason the president was spending all this money to have it on hand, now we need it. >> there's no thoughts, just spend that is their motto at least pull from the ridiculous ev expenditures that are planned as well billions and ev charge reports. again maryland received the money it was closer to 7 billion, pennsylvania received almost 14 and the funds need to be utilized for modernization purposes and certainly in repairing abridges, this is a crisis situation but it needs a plan not a knee-jerk spend

reaction. >> i would get your take on the fox news poll, former president trump with the biggest lead against joe biden in a head-to-head match was a five points nationally the biggest lead yet on a national one-on-one. biden's reelection focuses on pennsylvania, they're opening a headquarters, the campaign is opening a headquarters in the lehigh valley and other offices throughout the state. your reaction. >> i know lehigh valley very well outside my district we have a hot republican primary taking place but there is literally huge enthusiasm for president trump and a tremendous amount of biden buyers remorse and people look back at 2019 at the successes of the trump campaign and what is really important to note the demographics of shifted since 2020 republicans have picked up 200,000 new registrants, democrats have lost

200,000 so they put it more accurately, 400,000 more republican registered voters then there were in 2020 and in 24. that is one thing but major initiatives a lot of them have been around mailing ballots and to protect the ballot. i'm on president trump's leadership team, success and 24 runs through pennsylvania, we know that and we are prepared there setting up an office, we have 67 offices set up in the just warming up. maria: you think president trump could win pennsylvania? >> absolutely. in fact he's ahead right now, that is my only goal for 24 and along with dave mccormick we have other candidates dave mccormick running for u.s. senate, statewide seeds stacy garrity, tim before, a lot of things going our way but were

not taking anything for granted we will do everything that we could do to win pennsylvania. maria: let me get your take on new york. president trump will attend the funeral of nypd officer jonathan dillard today he was killed in a traffic stop in queens by a suspected career criminal with 21 previous arrests, nine felony charges the white house is blaming the killing on gun violence, president biden is going to be in new york city today but he's attending a high dollar fundraiser with barack obama, bill clinton and a bunch of celebrities we are not expecting president biden to attend the funeral even though he'll be in new york later in the day for his fundraiser and in the middle of all of the several women have come forward on tiktok and they say they have been punched in the face or punched in the head by strangers walking on the street in new york city. i know you introduced a tough on crime bill, the holding prosecutors accountable act,

tell us about that what's going on across the country with the spikes in crime now were worried about getting punched in the face walking around. >> it is really bad you're from new york i'm originally from new york i was born in queens, jonathan dillard grew up not far from where i grew up my pad was a detective in nypd and this happened in far rockaway the individual 21 prior arrest of gun charge within the last seven months and is out on the streets even mayor adams stated we ever reset to be problem that is for sure recidivism and were not prosecuting, prosecutors are the exact opposite and that's where my bill comes in. if you commit a violent crime you are going to be arrested and you're going to be prosecuted and prosecutors in the past were near 70% this requires that the prosecutor on violent crimes and very explicit what they are, 67%

of the time were also going to lose funding, this is becoming the top issue in pennsylvania a top issue in new york, certainly a top issue in washington, d.c. which is absolutely crime-ridden and a big concern to all american people. maria: good to see you, thank you very much we will be following your work. >> thank you. happy easter. a blessed easter to you and family. american ceos are in beijing meeting with xi jinping as he tells them to keep investing their money in china has country's economy has not yet peaked. a georgia judge ready to hear arguments about possibly dropping president trump selection interference case, everything you need to know coming out of georgia next. ♪

everything hard drives, phones, other evidence this is the sex trafficking probe, the story continues to get crazier, crazier. maria: he's not been charged with any crime but of course the fact that he got on the plane and went to the caribbean raise lots of questions, why did he leave, he's back you said the plane is in miami or florida. >> the playing is there but he has not been seen. yesterday we said where is he, these are very serious serious allegations against him and other people around him being connected to this more and more. >> fifty cents has been talking about this for over a decade. >> it's been going on for a long time. >> shades of epstein parties that are filmed, all allegations but the allegations themselves are quite troubling. >> even more with justin bieber and allegations of an inappropriate relationship with him. maria: we will keep watching that. >> xi jinping meeting with american ceos and beijing

yesterday telling the ceos of the chinese economy is sound and sustainable, the ceos of qualcomm, broad, blackstone, fedex in attendance yesterday the wall street journal editorial out with this piece writing we help the business leaders understand that mr. sheen's promises are not worth much he and the party can turn in a minute if it suits her political interest his assurances will not stop the continuing attempts to sell u.s. business and government secrets. the hudson institute senior fellow and author of the decisive decade jonathan dt ward. great to see you. amazing xi jinping is asking the ceos to invest in china and underlines how significant american investment is to the continued growth of china and it makes me question why so many companies are trading on our exchanges right now, some of which are sanctioned and american investors are buying into those companies and in fact funding the expansion of our

number one adversary. >> the ceos are really falling into xi jinping's strap at this point and it doesn't take a lot of brains to understand the risks of doing business in china. at the end of the day the whole system is built to siphon intellectual property know-how capital to use that to build the strategic industry and a lot of these companies are going to get pushed out of the china market and we see the already with the companies and tendons in your talking about a wide range of industries misrepresented pharmaceuticals, electronics, finance, insurance, consumer drugs, semiconductors, you name it it's a wide spectrum and i think there is going to be a long-term problem of what happens to these companies. if these are the companies and you take apple where they have built a deep china business and they may simply be lacking any real options to change course there is an enormous amount when

anyone looks at these photographs in a normal sum of shareholder capital that is at risk and when i keep turning back in these days as they get about the reports, over the last ten years studying the lifecycle of companies on the fortune 500 or on the s&p 500 and the fact that the lifecycle the average company on one of the major list goes down every year end is currently less than 20 years and it's sort of compressing and we will see a lot of case studies in the future companies and the ones in the room that don't make it out of the 2020s because of geopolitical risks. it's time for shareholders to start taking in a sense the lead on this. in the absence of clear and decisive action from the u.s. federal government executive branch and the investment in china and all of the rest of it shareholders will have to make serious decisions about the china exposure that managers are

continuing to do and there're a bunch of founders people that founded and built very important american companies in that they think about their legacy and where things are really going and everything that is mounting here in addition to the fact that this is at a certain point funded our adversary and i think will lose a lot of companies over time and a lot of very interesting reasons. maria: basically what john ratcliffe has set on this program many times the ccp goal is very simple rob, replicate replace, rob secrets from corporate america, replicate the secrets and then replace the companies, finally we get a comment from janet yellen treasury secretary yellen calling out china and his speech in georgia yesterday for ramping up the production of green energy technology, she said it's unfair competition, watch this. >> china is overcapacity distorts global prices and

production patterns and hurts american firms and workers as well as firms and workers around the world. we've reached overcapacity in previous discussions with china and i plan to make it a key issue in discussions during my next trip there. maria: janet yellen said to visit china next month, her remarks committed after beijing found a wto complaint against the united states over what it saying discriminatory requirements for electric vehicle subsidies, your tho thoughts. >> this should not be a surprise to anybody this is how the chinese system works, the whole design i remember chinese executive telling me this a long time ago he called an incubator the way that the china market works is on board's technology and all the rest of it from foreign firms that have been invited into the market and replicates that incubates inspected on the global market, we will see that across a wide

range of industries and were finally getting into some of the industries that policymakers really care about, semiconductors and electric vehicles but the explosion of electric vehicles onto global markets are about to take up 25% of the european market this y year. this was baked into the industrial strategy if you go across the list of made in china 2025 which is the flagship industrial policy its next-generation ict huawei, new energy vehicle, b wide d, biotech new materials, aerospace and wait till you see what cole mack is going to do, railway, robotics is a pretty long list they will go higher and higher up the value chain this is not obviously about low value industries anymore in china already is 30% of the global manufacturing base value added output. this is just the future of

having that much share of global manufacturing that's what real u.s. economic strategy would work on getting them down and would lead them down and starting to recapture allied and u.s. share of the global any fracturing base. what we have to do this or were going to get surprises in a very regular basis when you look at the battery makers over 50% of the global battery market they will be able to do this and so many industries this is just the beginning. maria: as the administration is pushing ev so aggressively and the batteries are made there a lot of companies are good for alternative supply chains but this takes time. we will keep watching all of that, jonathan dt were joining us on communist china. stay with us. stay with us. we'll be right back. business.

maria: welcome back i want to take a moment to pay tribute to connecticut senator joe lieberman who died after application from a fall, he served as u.s. senator from connecticut from 1989 to 2013. he served as former vice president al gore's running mate in 2000 presidential election, he may have been best known for his willingness to reach out to the middle to get the work done he eventually broke from the democratic party serving his final term as an independent, last year joe lieberman became

the no labels party he joined the lake early on this program to talk policy, politics and mostly his strong resistance to the threat of iran. the past november he joined me to explain whether the biden administration stance on iran and a nuclear iran was wrongheaded. watch. >> until they're held accountable it's not going to get better, just one more word i gathered in the biden administration that they don't want to go after iran because of the widened the war in the middle east but the war has been widened by iran in its terrors proxies in american personnel in the middle east. we cannot let them get away with it. we cannot let them get away with it. maria: saturday and lieberman will be missed his funeral is friday in stanford connecticut. he is survived by his wife and three children, he was 82 years old. i made the point to say he

reached out to the middle because he was not a politics guy he wanted to get the work done and he was very worried about the threat of iran and the administration was pursuing the iran nuclear deal that was his focus. >> he was a real old-fashioned moderate voice in the senate and he represented your grandfather's democratic party which is very normal compared to the fringe progressives right now and annie mccarthy said this he worked with them very closely on national security efforts legally he was great and counterterrorism, you cannot deny that he cared about this country he was a true patriot and that sense of the word. he absolutely wanted america to be defended and he did not have an idealistic vision of what america could be he loved it as it is right now. maria: i think he was horrified by the leap to the extreme left by the democrat party. >> i think many people are now talking about the reverence for the man we lose sight of the

fact that many of the same people started to evolve his politics and the fact that that was their politics that drove them out of the party and he made his home his entire life, at a time where we see record lows as productivity in congress the least productive congress we've ever seen in our lifetime certainly the legacy of joe lieberman means more today in some ways that has ever before. maria: i enjoyed having him as a regular. >> it's really sad and unfortunately so relevant recently because of no labels. it is super sad. we need more politicians who are willing to do what he did and that's reach across the aisle and try to broker deals that are fair and good too much divisiveness in washington. maria: a fall is so dangerous for a senior citizen. he had a fall in his home and passed away as a result from complications of the fall. stay with us. we'll be right back.
