hope you're having a good one. i am maria bartiromo, it is 8 a.m. on the button on the east coast. anti-israel protesters crashing the white house correspondents' dinner over the weekend, they crashed the red carpet. saturday night. celebrities getting mobbed on their way in. hundreds of protesters chanting against joe biden outside the washington, d.c. hilton hotel. listen. >> shame on you! shame on you! shame on you! maria: more as the president is accused of playing both sides of the protest, i spoke with alan dershowitz on "sunday morning futures" yesterday. he's most afraid the protesters will become terrorists themselves. watch this. >> it's a deep problem at universities today with their diversity, equity and inclusion bureaucracies and intersectionality. they have been teaching anti-semitism now for several years x it's come to the fore. what i'm most afraid of, among

the people in front of claim university are people who will become terrorists, who will help hamas, who will be part of the fifth column. i represented many dissenters and protesters during the 1960s and 1970s, and and do you know what happened to some of them? some them turned from advocating terrorism to becoming terrorists. finish. maria: wow. liz peek, your reaction. >> yeah, that's a pretty stark warning, maria. maria: yeah. >> and, you know, there are many stark warning, right? the fact that we have this protest movement going across the country it's not just students as you and others have pointed out, it's now being backed by all kinds of anti-american groups and funding. soen one would hope that when all these schools go on summer break, maybe this calms down. to dershowitz's point, maybe it doesn't because maybe now this has become such an organic uprising of anti-american forces in our own country that it

really takes on new life. by the way, i think the democrats have to be very concerned that they're going to see a lot of this at their convention in chicago. chris mentioned earlier, you know, hollywood put on a big show at that convention and organizing it. maybe they just won't show it, but i think it's going to be pretty hard to hide thousands of people coming out to protest the president. maria: it's a good point. what is stephen spielberg going to do about that, chris. >> i think liz is right, there's so much to look for. at the end of the day, mercy e to the wolf is cruelty to the sheep. these people don't understand that. the israelis have been put upon so much. now kids screaming death to jews? as if that is an acceptable form of protest? and i agree with dershowitz's assessment that we're with creating that small pocket that can be radicalized, if you will. and shame on us for not being harsher, stronger and saying protest is acceptable, but outright threatening and outright really calling for

murder at its very least, i would say that that is an inappropriate action. maria: meanwhile, cara swisher, journalist, a columbia university graduate herself, suggests that it's, quote, anti-american to not support young people engaging in these protests. if people, police have arrested more than 2000 anti-israel -- 200 anti-israel protesters nationwide as they seem -- seek amnesty e to keep arrests and suspension from following them after school. you have got all these people getting arrested. we know now it's not all students, it's actually outside agitate thatters. we don't know if they're being with led by the chinese if communist party, by russia, by george soros organizations, but some of them are not actual students. and here you have cara swisher saying we have to support these people protesting, it's anti-american not to. what? the. [laughter] >> we were talking about spielberg directing this, how about soros? these people coming over the border, this tiktok kind of

created from the river to the sea. these people didn't know these issues existed 90 days ago. and, you know, they were just pushing a radical, you know, gender ideology. that was the push. now that's pushed aside. now this is the issue of the day. at the end of the day though i am concerned what dershowitz said, we're going to see that fringe people thinking they're being heroic just like these kids getting arrested, look at me, i did it, i checked the box, i was arrested, i did it. i'm just like the radicals of the '70s fighting for the put upon. but this is just so misguided. maria: i mean, fighting for what, hamas? >> yeah. >> exactly. maria: have you heard one word about the fact that hamas is not release leasing those hostages from these people? >> it's incredible. killing, murdering babies. >> no. look, i think there's no excuse for this. and, by the way, where is with joe biden? maria: that's right. >> joe biden made this big show a year ago about the

anti-semitism program, all agencies of the federal government were being pulled together to combat anti-semitism. joe biden, this is your moment. stand up, say something about these protests because these are no longer protests about the palestinian people. this is now out and out anti-jew hatred and anti-semitic behavior that's going on, maria. and, by the way, these schools need to do exactly this, they need to set red lines and say this is the kind of speech that we do not accept, this is the kind of behavior that is illegal on our campus, and if you cross that red line, you are, pelled. -- expelled. and if you're a foreign student, you are sent home. maria: that is exactly right. >> all you need is one or two schools to do that, to be tough. not like texas where you kowtow to public opinion, and everybody's, oh, my gosh, they arrested kids and then they're let go. no, expel these students and then they actually have to pay a price. if they're willing to go out and march, they should be willing to pay a price. maria: that's right.

well, i mean, you know, no one else would get away with only of these chants -- >> yeah. maria: and yet these anti-israel chants are just looked at and it's as protesters. imagine if you heard those chants about other groups. >> no, it's impossible. that's exactly right. if it was anti-gay or anti-black as so many people have said it would be, you'd be in jail, honestly. maria: that's right. >> hate speech, if you are threatening people or threatening violation, that is a criminal act. some -- violence. some of these people should be arrested, but at least get them out of school because they're no longer being students. maria: it's a great point. we are just getting started this hour. egypt is proposing a hostage deal for israel and hamas as president biden speaks to prime minister benjamin netanyahu claiming to reaffirm his so called ironclad support of israel. you're watching "mornings with maria" live on fox business. we'll be right back. ♪ i am starting with me.

oklahoma standard where we all a come together as a community and family. this hit rural oklahoma which means it touched almost everybody yesterday when i was town on the ground, we were in holdenville. and right before i landed, i was told that one of the infants that was killed was actually the niece to my veteran affairs caseworker who's been working for me for 12 years. and so it all hits family. when you looked at sulfur, which is what your pictures are showing right now, that's downtown. that took out an entire town which employs literally hundreds of people down there. one of the main employers which was a manufacturing company completely lost their business. there was a bar down there that had over 30 patrons in it, a roof collapsed on 'em. it's amazing that all but one made it out alive. it's just absolutely heart heartbreaking. this will take, for sulfur, it'll take years if they ever

totally recover are if that. maria: oh, my goodness. how devastating. and i'm so sorry to hear about your staff member and the niece of your staff member having perished, an infant, god. we pray for that end pant killee oklahoma tornado. what are your thoughts on -- >> well, and this -- maria: -- how this happened and you don't know even where to begin. what are the next steps for people? >> well, in oklahoma we're used to doling with tornadoes, and when i say the oklahoma standard, we all come together, we all pray together, we all help together. yesterday when i was going through there and driving across the area once we got to the damaged spot, we had families, friends, church groups, everybody out there working together cleaning debris. so the first thing, clean up. the second thing, organize between the oklahoma emergency management and fema, see which part is federal, see which part is oklahoma and coordinating with our insurance companies.

today we're setting up, we're setting up, like, a one-stop shop in each area that was hit where residents can come together and get supplies but also get the the information, get the paperwork filled out. we're pretty good about this, but at the same time you'll see -- when i was in sulfur yesterday, for instance, there was a group of people that had gathered around a building, and they were just holding hands, bowed their head and just started praying. and it blesses your heart because you're excited that you're from oklahoma. you hate to see this, but i wouldn't want to be any other place when a disaster like this happens. not only do we work hard, help our friends and neighbors, but we believe in the lord that can help us through this. maria: well, thank god that you have that togetherness. we are all a praying for the community. >> thank you. maria: it's really devastating here. senator, thank you for giving us that color, and we send you and the people of oklahoma prayers, for sure. we're praying to god. >> thank you. maria: i want to get your take

on the other issues of the day. president biden spoke with israeli prime minister benjamin net an an ya hue yesterday. he reportedly doubled down on his so-called stance that it's iron clad, but he also doubled down on the stance that israel should not enter rafah if out of concern for the roughly 1 million gazans sheltering there. egypt is offering a truce proposal between israel and hamas and putting a 3-week ceasefire and the exchange for -- of some hostages for palestinian prison prisoners. in order to get the hostages, with we have to release pal inten january prisoners. secretary of state apt any blinken will be in saudi arabia today before moving on to israel and jordan, senator. what can be done here in terms of in this situation? and president biden says he's got ironclad support for israel and yet he's telling them not to go into with rafah even though we know that's where the hamas terrorists are, rafah. >> ironclad support was the way israel supported us us after

9/11. no one told us how to fight the terrorist organizations that came after us. and hamas is a terrorist organization. they're using the palestinian people that live in gaza, that voted hamas as the governing body of gaza, they use are them as human shields. and what people need to be understanding, the only group that can quit the fight, that can stop fighting right now, or that can save the lives of the pal stanley cup kwans in rafah if would be hamas -- palestinians. all they have to do is lay town their arms. no one, maria, no one would believe that if israel were to lay down their arm, hamas would quit attacking them. although we all know if hamas would just quit, surrender and give themselves up, the fight ifing would stop literally within minutes. is so if we're going to try to save the lives of those in rafah, then they need to be the putting pressure on hamas to lay down their arms and quit fighting. but that's not what a terrorist organization does. they're willing to destroy everybody and everything around

them for whatever their idea is that they're trying to get accomplished. and and so it's ridiculous that our president of the united states would be putting pressure on israel at this time of need to do anything but annihilate the individuals that attacked them on october 7th. maria: right. and even as he does that, he doesn't even speak about the hostages being released. pressure on hamas to release the hostages. >> the idea that the hostages are going to all be released is, honestly, wishful thinking because it's the only bargaining chip that hamas has. maria: right. >> so, yes, they need to release some, and everyone they release is great. but they're going to continue to use the hostages there for human shields and as a bargaining chip to try to reorganize. when this ceasefire happens, all they're going to do is reorganize again. if they say, well, how can they do that because they're all blocked in rafah. no, they're not. when we started delivering aid

through airdrops or through a station on the water, we started seeing the aid packages immediately show up in egypt and on the black market that hamas was selling. so they have ways to get reorganized and get resupplied, and that's all that's going to take place in a ceasefire where they negotiate back and forth on some hostages, but they're actually wanting the time. all they're trying to do, all hamas is trying to do through the ceasefire is just get time. maria: yep. makes a lot of sense. senator, it's great to get your insights on all of that. thanks very much for being here. and we're with praying for the people of oklahoma, senator. thank you. quick break and then the federal reserve has a 2-day policy meeting which kicks off tomorrow morning. the central bank has raised the bar on rate cuts as we await comments from jay powell on wednesday. christopher zook is here with expectations. you're watching "mornings with maria" live on fox business. we'll be right back. ♪ -- that money can buy, yeah.

eastern. the dow up 53, the nasdaq up 78 and the s&p higher by 13.5. microsoft and google drove the rally on friday. this week we're focused on amazon and apple. take a look at interest rates, the 10-year is pulling back ahead of the federal reserve's 22-day policy meeting tomorrow. -- 2-day policy meeting. the 10-year down 4 basis points as investors speculate over whether or not the federal reserve will begin cutting interest rates this summer or if it will cut rates at all this year. "the wall street journal" reporting this: even if the fed cuts, the days of ultra-hoe rates are over. joining me now is chief investment officer christopher zook, christopher, thanks very much for being here. lots to get into with you. want to look at earnings and the fed. first, the fed. what are you expecting from this meeting? >> well, i expect that -- first of all, thank you for having me this morning. what i expect them to say is exactly what they've been saying for the last several weeks which is they need data that shows they need to cut, and they're not getting that data.

the federal roadway serve is in a fox -- reserve in a box we haven't seen in the last 40-plus years. they cannot cut too early, otherwise they're going to have the debacle of 1980-1982 happen to them again. they've not going to let that happen. so we expect them to say they're not going to do anything soon, and it's possible they don't do anything at all for the next several months. maria: i mean, the problem for the fomc ask that the -- is that the first quarter inflation actually accelerated from a year ago. talking about the pce index which we saw on friday e which included an elevated pce deplater showing that -- deflater showing that it could not be ascribed to seasonal a issues. the lindsay group shows it is a continuing phenomenon. s what is the fed going to do now that inflation is nowhere near their 2% target? the are they going to keep saying it'll get there over time, over time, over time, or are they going to change their

target in order to adjust because inflation is still elevated in the midst of trillions in spending? >> trillions in spending and everything else that we've had built up from the standpoint of free money being given out has caused us to be in a box that we haven't seen in a very long time. and what the fed is going to have to do is they're going to have to stay diligent. i don't think they're going to change their target. it's so funny, because in january with everybody was saying we're going to have three cuts by, basically, june. now it's likely to be zero, and there's the conversation about the possibility of hiking rates. now, i don't think we're going to see rates go up from here, but it's very unlikely that we see any cuts between now and the election. i think there's a possibility that we could see i one cut before the end of the year, but that's really what we think is the only scenario that would make sense in the current environment with the data you see. maria: yeah. i totally agree with you. larry lindsey from the lindsay group writes in this morning: the fed's life being made more

difficult by the decision of japanese authorities to allow the yen to slide to historically low levels rather tap than bring forward any further rate hikes. although the doj did end its negative interest rate policy, it left its effective overnight rate at just 5 basis points. what do you make of this plummeting of the japanese if yen overnight? -- yen overnight? >> it was interesting. there was a plummeting, and then we saw a are reversal on the speculation there's been some intervention. this level is very, very important. and what i expect is the federal reserve's job is not going to be made easier by the japanese yen, but at the same time if we just look at what's happening here in the united states, when we have is fiscal spending that is very much out of control, and we have a is situation to where consumers are really struggling, there's just not a really good peace for the fed to go. that's why we believe stagflation is here, it's going to get worse, and the federal reserve is not going to be able to do anything except for sit on their hands and wait for this to all sort itself out.

maria: christopher, then there's earnings. we've got amazon and apple coming out this week. give us your take on big tech and what we could see from those two. apple could be a real market mover,, but there's been a shift in sentiments around a apple. do you agree? >> there most definitely has been a sentiment change in apple. it's something to where i expect apple, as long as they don't report anything to too bad, will be fine. and amazon has a very high bar that they have to hit. think both of them will be fine. i think the technology sector as a whole is in pretty good shape from the standpoint of they've got good momentum from an earnings perspective, from a business perspective. at the same time, their valuations are just really rich as a general rule. not necessarily the two that a we're with talking about, but in general. so we've seen half of the curve return of the s&p 500 coming from basically five stocks. that is obviously an unsustainable environment for the s&p 500, so we are just really not excited about public markets. we think the private markets

offer a lot more value, a lot more opportunity right now, and it's something we think that investors who can invest, and and more and more can every day, can look to the private markets to get better returns with more consistency than they can in the public markets even though there are some pockets in the public markets that are okay. maria: so where in the public markets would you be allocating capital right here? >> you know, it's interesting because one of the things we talkedded about in the book that i wrote with tony robbins jesting is we talked about a private credit. most people are, like, i can't do that. it's actually not true. in the public markets you can. monroe capital has a fantastic bdc, blue owl has a business development company. these are publicly-traded entities that provide private credit to the marketplace, and the yields can be anywhere from 9% to 13% depending on the name with a very significant amount of underlying credit quality. and, yes, they are a little more volatile than a tippal a bond, but you -- typical bond, but you

also get paid in much higher interest and income in return for accepting that volatility. we like that space a lot right here. maria: all right. we will leave it there. can christopher, it's god to catch up. thanks very much -- it's good to catch up. >> thank you for having me. maria: we did love the book with tony robs byes. quick break and then president biden telling the press to ignore the polls as his approval rate plummets. he's falling further behind president trump as well. our election panel is here to discuss the state of the race next. your watching "-- you're watching "mornings with maria" live on fox business. stay with us. ♪ ♪ i've been here all night, i've been here all day. ♪ and you got me running side to side ♪ i love your dress. oh thanks!

[laughter] maria: yeah. nice accolade there for them. thank you, cheryl. >> you bet. maria: meanwhile, a new cnn/ssrs poll finds former president trump leading president biden by 6 points in a head to head match up, 49% to 43%.

the same poll shows 55% of all americans now say they see trump's presidency as a success while 611% say biden's -- 61% say biden's presidency is a failure. biden's job approval rating mitting below 39%, that makes him the least popular president in the last 70 years behind richard a nixon and jimmy carter. joining me now is democrat strategist david carlucci, also former marine kate monroe. great to see you both. thank you so much for being here. david, kicking things off with you. what is your reaction to these latest polls? >> yeah. well, it's something we've got to keep our finger on the pulse here, and these polls show that it's neck and neck, right? one poll has biden up i, another poll has trump up. but the biggest indicator to me and if i think most troubling to the trump camp is the genderrer divide. and what we see is that trump has always had a problem with women voters, but now with the dobbs decision, that's a getting even worse for donald trump.

and these polls, even the ones that show trump ahead, it continues to show trump sliding further and further down with the female vote s. and that's going to be a big problem come the general election. yes, trump did a little bit better in 2020 than he did in 20216 with women, but these polling numbers, it's just a snapshot. but what i look for is the momentum. and the momentum, particularly there with the gender divide that i think is a serious, serious problem with trump, and the fact that abortion now has become one of the top issues and the fact that you're going to see these referendums in multiple states considering -- and especially some of the battleground states, that's an opportunity for biden and a real problem for donald trump. maria: well, david, let's be clear, you can look at all of these polls and try to pull out what's bad for trump, but at the end of the day, the bottom line is trump is beating biden, and biden is now polling at the lowest numbers that we've seen in 700 years making him the

worst -- 70 years, making him the worst president in 70 years. that's the headline of these polls, david, not some gemmed or divide. >> i'm giving you what i think we need to focus on. these are snapshots. it is going back and forth. what are the indicators -- maria: it's not really going back and forth. trump has been leading, largely. it's not going back and forth. >> well, biden polled ahead by, you know, a fraction of a point. you had trump behind and all these polls a little bit different. i mean, cnn -- i mean, the sienna poll which is usually marked as one of the most credible, it really shows that gender divide can specifically. but all of these polls are pointing to that whether trump is up by 2points or 3 points, that gender divide remains the same. and in terms of favorability, i mean, rating it compared to eisenhower or even ronald reagan, it's just not an9 accurate picture. with today's media, you know, the fact that we've got the 24-hour news cycle and social

media, i mean, no president is going to be that popular from now into the future whether it's trump, whether it's biden or anyone. now you can win with poll numbers being underwater. maria: really? >> that's something we never had in the past. if you were underwater having higher negatives and favorables, you didn't have a chance, but now in today's -- maria: it sounds like president biden, you want us to ignore some of these glaring issues like president trump is actually leading in six out of seven swing states. president trump is -- in no, don't ignore it. maria: no, but president trump is gaining ground in the black community and the hispanic community and with the group you just mentioned, women. president biden, kate, has finally agreed to debate the former president, trump, telling radio host howard stern he doesn't know when, but he's happy to debate. trump responded late last night on truth social writing: anywhere, anytime, any place. biden attacked trump during the white house correspondents' dinner any way he could. watch this. >> of course, the 2024

election's in full swing. and, question, age is an issue. finish i'm a grown man -- [laughter] running against a 6-year-old. donald has had a few tough days lately, you might if call it stormy weather. [laughter] what the hell? [laughter] trump's so desperate he started reading those bibles he's selling. maria: and that,s of course, has the immediate what laughing it up, whooping it up at the white house correspondents' dinner. trump responded again on truth the social saying this: the white house correspondents' dinner was really bad. colin jost bombs, crooked joe was an absolute disaster. doesn't get much worse than this. kate, your reaction. >> i -- [laughter] the fact that they have time for jokes when they're drowning in the polls, when you have an open border, you know, i deal with veterans every single day.

we have 107,000 vets at any given night, 35,000 homeless. you have migrants crossing our border, you have inflation, you have low jobs. the delusion on the left is appalling. i think the american people are awake, they have eyeballs, they have ears, they see what's going on. if they could get in a time machine and look back only a few years, they remember when they were safer, when they were richer. i think that trump will absolutely wipe the floor with president biden come the general election. and for you to think that only women, the small fraction of women that were put off by the decision for abortion, are you in an echo-chamber where you don't realize there was also women that were happy about that decision? it's just, the audacity really of the left, i can't. maria: well, i mean, there's also this idea that a if you vote for joe biden, you could be voting for kamala harris. there's more speculation on who will be president trump's running mate. the former president meeting with florida governor ron desantis yesterday in miami. desantis is reportedly helping

trump fund raise, kate. what do you think about that? >> i think i'm proud of him for warranting to help -- wanting to help fund raise. here in california i actually am not still in the race for congress, it's matt gunderson here, and i'm going to lean in and help matt. that's something i like to see on the republican side. too many times we don't step in and unite like they do on the left. i love the see the fact that he's going to help him fund raise. kudos to him. maria: yeah, okay, good point. and, david, i spoke with president trump earlier in the year, and i asked him about a his vp pick. i want to get your take on what the criteria is for joe biden. i asked that question to president trump. watch this. what criteria you using -- are you using? >> always it's got to be who would be a good president. i mean, you always have to think that because, you know, in case of emergency. things happen, right in no matter who you are, things happen. it's got to be number one. maria: yeah, i was taken by that answer from president trump. david, do you think that that's

the criteria that joe biden used to choose kamala harris? >> i think it absolutely is. maria: really? >> but i think donald trump is not being genuine. i think we all believe that -- we don't believe donald trump because, look, he would pick someone like mike pence, with but now he's not going to do that. he's going to pick someone who? that's loyal to him. not to the constitution, not to the united states -- maria: we don't know that at all. no, we don't know that at all. in fact, what we do know is the way he answered me. he answered me saying it's got to be is that person ready to be president. and i asked you, do you think that joe biden used that same criteria when he chose kamala harris -- >> yes. maria: -- that he felt she was ready to be president. a lot of people would say, absolutely not. he wanted to check boxes, a woman and a black woman. >> well, i think i disagree with that that, and i would say that, yes, he did make a commitment to elevate black women, and you see that with the supreme court. he's made that commitment.

but cam rah a harris -- kamala harris, u.s. senator, attorney general, someone that's competent and has been able to deliver in her elected career. but with donald trump, look, we have all come to recognize that he does what's a best for him and not for our country. so that's do -- maria: no, we haven't, we all have not come to that a recognition -- >> he's going to may it like the apprenticeship. maria: if everybody came to that recognition, donald trump would not be leading in the polls, david, you to know that. donald trump is beating joe biden across the country. he's winning in six out of seven swing states, so it's a reach the say we all believe that we don't believe donald trump. that's not what the polls say at all a. >> well, i -- maria: the polls just said the majority of people say trump's presidency e was a success and biden's president she was a failure -- >> well, and those numbers were completely nipped. no, again, we don't ignore the polls, but these are snap snapshots, right? and we have to take from it what will lead us down that road in

november, and what we can pull from it are some of the announcements -- momentums that are happening. where donald trump is losing support among women is important to recognize. and, yes, biden has to do more to reignite his base with minority voters. that's been a strong part of the democratic party and one that the i think is not about a them voting for donald trump, it's that they're frustrated right now with what is going on in society. yes, there's a lot of issues, but donald -- joe biden's actually facing those issues, stepping into them and trying to solve them. what you hear from the gop side -- >> how is he facing the issues? quite frankly, you have an open border. >> yeah, so do something. i don't care -- look, you ran for -- [inaudible conversations] >> -- because you let 7 million migrants in the country. maria: yeah. [inaudible conversations] >> we fix it by updating -- maria: david, when you say that biden, when you say that biden,

when you say that biden is answering the issues of the day, that's not true. i mean, he's got an open border. 10 million people on biden's watch in america illegally. you've got a -- >> yeah, but so what happened -- maria: hold on. you've got a federal reserve trying to rein in inflation, and biden wants to spend more money. does he not understand that inflation is too many dollars chasing too few goods? he says he wants to follow the law and have law in the society, and yet he's blowing off the supreme court and wanting to forgive more student loan debt in the face of the supreme court saying, no, this is unconstitutional. so, you know, when e he says trump is a detriment to democracy, i think most people wince and say, no,, actually, what you're doing is at threat to democracy. and you've got your opponent holed up in a manhattan courtroom while you campaign all over the place. >> well, look at the facts -- maria: those are the facts. i'm looking at the facts. >> the fact is that you had legislation agreed on, and what happens? donald trump says, no, don't

passes that legislation on border security because it's too good of a political issue for me. maria: no. >> we can't give president biden any wins, and we'll do it and we'll just hold back. so the question is, why do we have congress there? congress needs to do it job, update our laws. the way that we fix the illegal immigration problem is through legal immigration and updating our laws -- maria: well, just to -- yeah. >> i think we all recognize that. maria: no, what we recognize is, what we recognize, what we recognize is are the facts. david, is what we recognize is that under donald trump we were at a 20-year low in terms of illegals coming into the country, now we're at a 40-year high. >> and donald trump had the lowest -- maria: -- all of donald trump's security at the border, we know that. >> yes, he did, i went down to the border -- you don't immediate to talk over me, sir, at every chance you get -- maria: final word, kate -- [inaudible conversations] real quick. go ahead, kate. >> yes. i actually went down to the border unlike most people, took my own razor wire to secure it,

and i can tell you in the ten times i have been down there, there are people coming from all over the world. maria: yeah. >> afghanistan, china, ecuador, colombia. most of them get robbed or raped on the way here. maria: that's right. >> we have a legal immigration system. does it need some work? yes, it absolutely does, but stop presending -- pretending like we don't have a massive problem, and the legislation was going to let 1.8 million people still in the country at 5,000 a day. maria: yeah. >> congress is doing nothing. maria: it's not congress' fault. look, david, the president walked into the oval office and overturned all trump's security at the border. that's not congress' fault, that's joe biden -- >> no, he was required to. maria: we we know that. the show has been to the border live, with we've seen it all. look, david, thank you so much for joining us -- >> this is not -- [inaudible] executive order. it has to be fixed through legislation. maria: that's not true. it was broken by executive order, and it can be fixed by executive order. david carlucci and kate monroe,

thank you. we'll be right back. ♪

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. okay, that's uncalled for. maria: welcome back. a "wall street journal" ranking finds salt lake city was the hottest job market last year, that was followed by jacksonville, orlando and tampa. miami also in the top ten which makes florida the top state for jobs in 2023.

joining me now is national best selling author and author of "find the work you're wired to do," ken coleman back with us. ken, thanks so much for being here. what are your thoughts on the hottest job markets of 2023? >> yeah. well, i think it's fun to see salt lake city popping up there. it's not something we normally see. and as a result of tech. and, you know, i think this stands out as, i think, one of the shakeouts of the pandemic, you know? we saw people rethink the way they were going to do work, and that included where. you think about salt lake city, very clean city, pretty safe, low crime rate but surrounded by so much outdoor life. and they've done a good job of bringing in tech sector and bringing in those e jobs. and so that's something to watch. i think you're going to see more of these kind of trends, maria, over the next few years to see cities that you don't normally see popping on this list like your floridas, your texas and even tennessee. we've got a great job market in nashville at number 8 as well.

maria: yeah. >> this is a sign of the times where people are moving to destinations to make their livelihood. maria: yeah. people wan to be happy, and they're putting their livelihood and what makes them happy first after covid. in your new book, "find the work you're wired to do," which comes out may 7th, you talk about finding that dream job. tell us about it. >> yeah. i think everybody is wired to do certain work. and if you just look at three wires that we reveal in the book, one is talent. this is just what you naturally do well. and over time with experience and education, you hone that talent into a sharpened skill. think of that as a power tool. and then the second wire is passion. just work you love to do. you get up thinking about it, you lose track of time e when you're engaged in it. and the third wire is a sense of mission. everybody who's relatively healthy wants to do some good in the world. we want to make our mark. and that's why we all wrestle with the question, what should i do with my life. so those three wires are using

what i do best, talent, to do work i love, passion, to produce results that matter deeply to me. this is meaningful work. maria: i like it. it sure is. ken coleman, thank you. best wishes on the book. we'll be right back. >> thank you. ♪ ♪
