maria: welcome back. good friday morning, everybody. thank very much for joining us

this morning. i i'm maria bartiromo. it is friday, april 26, 7:03 on the east coast. time for the hot topic of the hour. anti-israel protests erupting on college campuses across the country, columbia university students filing a federal civil rights complaint against their school. fox news' sibi cotton is live from columbia university with more. good morning to you. >> reporter: hi, good morning, maria. in a few hours there's going to be a demonstration here to remind the entire columbia university community that there are still hostages remaining in gaza. for the past week, so many jewish students have been telling us it feels like their peers have forgotten especially when they hear chants like this all across the city. listen. >> [chanting] >> reporter: columbia university says there are still ongoing discussions with these pro

palestinian anti-israel student demonstrators who have been camped out on campus for more than a week now and this comes as the clock winds down, to the university commencement. there are only two weeks left. protesters say they're not leaving until demands are left. ilhan omar joined the student protesters with her daughter yesterday. listen to what she had to say. >> it is really unfortunate that people don't care about the fact that all jewish kids should be kept safe and we should not have to tolerate anti-semitism or bigotry for all jewish students, whether they're pro genocide or antigen side. >> reporter: signs of solidarity are israel starting to emerge, supporters held a rally to counter ongoing pro palestinian student demonstrations and

ongoing anti-semitism that jewish students say they're facing. how republicans are de-- house republicans are demanding major sponsors pull funding. maria: we know it started with robert kraft, new england patriots owner pulled donations from columbia. >> reporter: that's right. he's not the only unone. there are other voices joining him, saying until the university leadership steps up to do more to protect jewish students, they're not contributing. maria: thank you very much. joe, your reaction to this. we still have not seen enough from some of these university presidents. >> i think we need to have critical but slightly different conversation about these issues. we talked about it in the first hour. you basically have iran providing talking points for these miseducated youth. you have ju george soros providg

funding and tiktok is amplifying the miseducation. m they the context of the world today, i remember when we had a 20-year-old girl in 2014 who hopped on a plane from alabama to go join isis and eventually ended up having a child with one of those isis rebels and we now live in a world, a post-tiktok world, where you don't have to get on a plane or a train or get in a car provide material aid o terrorists. that's what's happening with idiots on what is supposed to be one of the most preeminent colleges in the nation, not he e recrecognizing you cannot find common ground. maria: what do you think, on? >> i think joeys exactly right and i'm troubled by the fact

that we have a lot of faculty sympathizers at columbia university to what's going on, these anti-israel protests. and moreover, let's not lose sight of the fact that if it were not for the y atrocities of october 7th none of this would have hands. happened. we've had terrorist attacks happening for so long that supposedly support these causes in the middle east and what have they accomplished for the palestinians? nothing. so i think the use of violence, trying to promote their cause, has been an out utter catastroa waste of lives, time and so on. maria: there's so much to get to here. we're going to continue this information. we're just getting started this hour. quick break and we're wrapping up a huge week of earnings, another one to come. tech is taking the cake this

conversation. >> thank you for having me, maria. maria: and we've got another pretty good firm tone this morning. we're looking at futures indicating a gain at the start of trading this morning amidst a busy week of first quarter earnings ahead of the pce. dow industrials up 56, nasdaq up 191 on the heels of microsoft and alphabet earnings last night. chevron is out this morning, beating on earnings, missing on ref gnaw, higher production volumes helping offset impact from weak natural gas prices. stock is down 1%. exxon also missed on earnings but did beat on revenue. exxon says it expects record oil and gas demand this year but planning on closing pioneer merger in the second quarter. on tech, pretty much a tear underway. alphabet reporting a double beat, issuing a dividend, 20 p 20-cents a share, up 12% this morning. microsoft reported cloud growth revenue up 21% on the push for

more a.i. so it's all about earnings this morning once again but of course also the fed. brenda, your thoughts on earnings? >> well, you know, earnings have been pretty good. this has been a huge week for earnings. by the end of today we will have had 60% of the s&p report. we have 75% of them beating on the top line,e around 68% on the bottom line. the guidance is mixed. it is going to be very center dependent. maria: that's what we've been seeing. john, how do you see it? >> i think earnings will do well for high tech companies. we increasingly move towards e-commerce and we're beginning to see the start of explosive extended growth for artificial intelligence. how can you go wrong betting on these companies long term? on the energy side, well, if oil prices stay where they currently are, over $80 per barrel, we're

going to have double digit percentage increases for oil related revenues in the second quarter. of course, the worry is going forward eventually this economy has to slow if we are going to resolve our issues with rapid price inflation. maria: we are slowing. we're seeing pretty stark numbers. we were all the way at 4.9% growth in the third quarter. yesterday we got the gdp out. it he was 1.6%. you're seeing that steady decline and finally an i'm exact of the 11 -- impact of the 11 rate hikes we saw. look at the 10 year treasury this morning, right now at 4.69%. we're right there kissing up to 4.7%, brenda. okay. even though that's down 1 basis point this morning. treasury secretary janet yellen reacting to yesterday's weaker than expected first quarter gdp. here's what she said. >> what is your reaction hot off the presses to today's first quarter gdp data? >> a lot of the data take theres

actually not yet in hand. there could be revisions. the u.s. economy continues to perform very, very well. the fundamentals here are in line with inflation continuing down back toward normal levels. maria: that was a lot of talking points. you're talking about the slowest economic growth story since second quarter 2022, brenda. we've got the pce index out. year over year it is exact todd be up 2.7%. jamie dimon told the wall street journal that he's giving a soft landing long odds. watch this. >> the consumer's in pretty good shape. one thing you've got to be questioning about, a lot of it is driven by fiscal spending. that will have other consequences possibly down the road, called inflation, which may not go away like people expect. i look at the range of possible outcomes. you could have that soft landing. i'm a little more worried that it may he not be so soft and inflation may not quite go away

and rates may have to go up higher, the 10 year rate, 5 year rate, and that could have consequences. maria: your thoughts, brenda? >> so this jamie dimon interview is definitely getting a lot of coverage. look, i don't agree he with everything he's saying especially around the probability of a soft landing. we're pricing in two rate cuts starting in september. there's one thing i'm aligned with him on, that is u.s. debt level. we talk about how the fed rate hikes have been punitive for the u.s. consumer. it is punishing for the u.s. government. let's look at the numbers for a second. $33 trillion debt levels. we had a $1.8 trillion deficit last year, 18% of federal spending goes to servicing interest and by the way, this is 3% interest rate. these numbers are scary. this is an important election issue. maria: that's absolutely right. jamie dimon felt this way for a long time. he told me the exact same thing

in january, that he's skeptical of the soft landing, that inflation will stay high because of the fiscal spending and he's right. look at the fiscal spending, talking about the inflation reduction act, fees call responsibility act, forgiveness of student loan act, chips act, green energy tax credits, adding up to $7 trillion. the fed is fighting the fiscal money coming at you. i want to ask about the independence of the fed. i feel like i'm reading the washington post this morning with this article in the journal. the wall street journal is writing that the former president trump's allies are drawing up plans to challenge the fed's independence, urging that the president should be consulted on rate decisions. this is what the wall street journal is writing this morning. meanwhile, it was president biden who had all these opinions about the fed and a seems to be publicly egging on jay powell to cut interest rates. here's joe biden just a couple weeks ago. watch this. i do stand by my prediction that before the year is out there will be a rate cut, it may be delayed a month or some i'm

not sure of we don't know what the fed will do for certain. >> would you reappoint jay powell? >> no, i wouldn't do that. >> you wouldn't reappoint him? >> no, no. >> because he missed inflation? >> he did miss. he did miss. but no, i wouldn't be inclined -- maria: so there you have president trump back in february telling me that he would not reappoint jay powell. we all knew that already. the journal is trying to suggest that his allies are trying to come up with some plan to make the fed not independent even in the face of joe biden publicly egging on jay powell to cut rates. your thoughts, john? >> what's new here? my goodness, i'm really surprised that the wall street journal published an article like that. i mean, the economists who back donald trump know very well that you want to do nothing to challenge the independence of the federal reserve. if you do that, if you make the fed look politically influenced, that would be ruining the dollar exchange rate and that would

send treasury bond yields sky high with horrible implications for the u.s. economy. maria: i mean, look, joe biden says we're getting a rate cut it's going to be delayed a month. why would he say it's going to be delayed a b month? did he speak with jay powell? is he messaging jay powell? why did he say that? >> if jay powell is taking directions from joe biden we're in a lot of trouble and the problem with inflation is not going to go away anytime soon. it will be with us in november and joe biden will pay for that. maria: yeah. brenda, have you changed the way you invest because inflation remains sticky, because its staying at elevated levels here and it's not -- nowhere near the fed's target of 2%? >> the last time we were talking before the march cpi i remember saying something to you specifically, that if we saw another high print after january, february, things would change and that's exactly what we've seen. we've seen the s&p off 5 and-a-half percent since the march highs. we have the 10 year at 4.7%.

i do think the repricing of fixed income has happened. maybe we go up to 4.75 today. i don't think we'll see a pce number that we like but i do think that fundamentally we're going to see the 10 year fall to 3.8 by the end of the year. maria: seems unlikely to me too. brenda, great to see you. thanks very much. john, you're with us all morning. we're grateful for that. quick break and then new polls show trump beating biden in the sunshine state. florida congresswoman anna paulina luna will join me on how voters are feeling in her home state. you're watching "mornings with maria" live on fox business. we'll be right back.

maria: welcome back. a new axios survey conducted by the harris poll finds 51% of americans including 42% of democrats all support mass he deportation of illegal migrants. nearly two thirds of americans also say that illegal immigration is a real crisis, not politically driven media narrative. 32% of americans say the biden administration is, quote, most responsible for this current border crisis. joining me now is floridas flora congresswoman, anna paulina luna. you made the point in the past,

every state is a border state, including florida. >> most certainly. in fact, we're seeing right now with republicans leading by over -- almost a million voters in the state of florida, you know, biden was just here in tampa the other day and maria, there was tens of voters there. there was not a massive support cry for president biden. going back to what your statement was saying earlier, the numbers across america have swung upwards of 15 points from june of 2020 in regards to the illegal immigration crisis that this administration created. maria: yeah. i'm glad you mentioned that. because there's a new national poll from the university of north florida. it finds former president trump is leading president biden by 2 points among likely voters. biden claimed earlier this week while he was in florida as you just mentioned, he said florida is in play for the dams. for thedemocrats. watch this. >> i think florida is in play y natnationally.

[cheers and applause] >> ni nikki is doing a hell oa job. whether the press thinks i'm good, bad or indifferent. i think they acknowledge there's less than the truth that comes out of the other guy's mouth. you wouldn't know it from what you're reading here but we're in pretty good shape in the polls. maria: so many mistruths coming you out of this president. he's being called out on it right and left. he says nothing that comes out of trump's mouth is truth. trump won florida in 2016 and 2020. what is your reaction to biden saying florida is in play? >> it is absolutely not in play. you can hear all 10 of his supporters in the background cheering. i will tell you that every day when i'm out in the community the, people understand what's happening at our southern border. it is absolutely a topic of discussion but also inflation and with this economy continuing the way it's going, biden's not looking good in his favorability

across the country, especially in florida. you know the pathway to the white house is through the state of florida, the i-4 corridor, they're trying to say florida is in play but it's not. it's going to trump. maria: you have been outraged by the government spying on ordinary americans. tell us what you did with fisa, which passed. >> yeah. so i actually made a last ditch effort to prevent fisa from passing as is. i'm a privacy hawk. i'm also a defender of the fofourth amendment. there's a gross overreach and a carve out for members of congress so we would get notified if we're under surveillance and the average american person would not. i don't agree with that. i'm hopeful when president trump gets back in office and we have a speaker that will be aggressive on this that we'll be able to help the american people. it he was a travesty. i tried to make a last ditch effort to pause that but unfort

notly it passed. maria: it passed and was extended an additional two years, versus five. so that was one thing in your corner in terms of it didn't get the full five year extension. just two years. >> correct. correct. and so hopefully at the end of that two year mark, again, that will come back up for renegotiation. i think it's important for the american people to know that you can have a safe country where your civil liberties aren't violated. you can also back entities like the cia, the nsa, that are supposed to fight for the american people but we know the fisa courts have been abused and we can't allow this to continue especially if we want a free and fair society. maria: the fbi and cia spied on president trump when he was candidate trump, when he was president trump. just out outrageous. the overseas component of catching the bad guys is what people are talking about. you said a minute ago that we'll

look at this again when president trump gets in office and when we have a different speaker. are you suggesting that the speaker's situation in terms of this motion to vacate is still in play? >> i don't believe the motion to vacate is in play. my concern cans for that currently with timing is that i believe that there would be people that might take a deal and either have coalition government or give the gavel to hakim jeffries. i can't support that. i will say there's a lot of frustration within the republican body and although mike johnson is a nice man, i can't get behind what he's currently doing and so i'm looking for other names potentially to float for speaker in the fall. maria: in the fall. >> well, after this november election is more or less to clarify. maria: congresswoman, thanks very much. great to see you this morning. we'll be watching your work. >> thanks. maria: anna paulina luna in florida this morning. quick break and then the supreme court hears the first arguments

and he's playing offense. joe biden thinking he can play in florida when he's losing 47, 37 in the polls, i think you go back to the mental acuity question. the president is able to put places in play right now. look what he did in new york earlier this week when he went to visit a construction site and had construction workers shouting usa, usa, usa. look at what happened when he ran around the corner to a bodega, look at what happened when he went to atlanta to a chick-fil-a. he is a man right now who is connecting with i'll a americans and joe biden unfortunately is just not able to do it. actually, it was kind of fun to look at the contrast yesterday when president trump was on a construction site, joe biden was still in bed. maria: yeah. we're showing that video right now, they were saying we want trump, we want trump, usa, and it was great to see it. and he does this at 6:30 in the morning, trying to jam in campaign appearances in the middle of these court

appearanceses and this trial underway. let's talk about your priorities as chairman of the rnc. i know the rnc has not been this aligned with the president in a long time. president trump raking in over $50 million at that florida fundraiser earlier this month marking a single event record but the biden administration still is outpacing trump partially due to court cases hindering trump's campaigning, michael. hows is fund raising going and a is this court situation that trump has to be downtown facing a jury all day long,s is that a affecting your ability to fun raisefund raise or of trump's ay to move ahead. >> not at all. we're raising a million dollars in small donations every day when he's in court. when he's not in court, he's able to move around the country. we had over $100 million we were able to raise in the first four weeks after him becoming our presumptive nominee. the fact that joe biden has a lead, he's been in the white house right now, he's been with the dnc for over four years. we're making up ground on it and

we will have the resources that we need to get our message out to the american people when it comes time for this election in november. maria: so you told me your priorities are number one fund raising and number two ensuring a transparent election. what have you done in that regard? >> look, we are building out our election integrity program right now. as a matter of fact, just yesterday at the rnc we had lara trump come up and the campaign team sit down, we're building out in all of our states right now, particularly our battleground states. with we are going to make sure that this elections is going to be fair, it's going to be accurate, it's going to be transparent. it's going to be secure. we know right now that when we protect the sanctity of the ballot we'll be in great shape they in november. maria: are there states you're focused on more so than others where you think there could be . >> we're looking at every state in the country and make sure we

have the resources we need to speat in the battleground states and it comes down to two things. we're going to get out the vote and he protect the ballot. we're also going to be competing in other states across the country where we're again playing offense right now and joe biden is playing defense. maria: let me bring in joe pinion. go ahead, joe. >> chairman, obviously you're hitting all the key points, obviously democrats have become efficient at basically harvesting votes all across the countryside, certainly we know about the grow your vote, formerly bank your vote effort to try to combat that. i want to speak specifically about the primary where we spend by some estimates over $2 billion on a contest thats was basically assured from the beginning. how do you work with some of those of donors at the large scale level to bring them back into the fold as we look to make sure this week at bernie's presidency comes to an end. >> they're coming back. we see a the donors that supported governor desantis and

governor haley come on board. we had a fantastic kickoff dinner a few weeks ago. i'm having conversations with a number of those folks on a daily basis. the president is having conversations with those folks. with are far more unified as a party than the democrats are. you look at it poll after poll after poll that we have the base. we are getting the voters lined up, the dou donors are coming o. we'll have the resources without a doubt to make sure we get your message out to the voters when it comes time for the election in november. maria: a lot of conversation about the 10 million illegals in this country and there are some republicans who believe that the whole point this wide open border is so that those people can become voters of the democrat party. we already know that it's impacted the census. are you wore red about illegal -- worried about illegals voting in this election? do you have plans in place to ensure everybody who votes is leo legally an american citizen. >> we are very concerned about

it. we have filed three lawsuits around the country to make sure only american citizens can vote. we are going to be all over that. that's one of our key ten nets when we look at election integrity, the legal side, we want to make sure that when people are voting by mail that those are protected ballots. we want to make sure that people are registered to v to vote thet way and only american citizens can vote. maria: you've got a sitting attorney general right now vowing to stop t voter id. i mean, you know, merrick garland actually said he will be stopping any efforts to have voter id which is head scratcher. mr. chairman, always a pleasure. come back soon. thank you, sir. >> yes, ma'am. thank you so much. maria: michael wattly joining us this morning. quick break and the monster energy super cross series visiting philadelphia for the first time in years. jeff flock is the in philly with details. >> reporter: moments away from the start in philadelphia. it's a special one this morning.
