Acknowledges like robinhood yesterday restricted trading in gamestop and other volatile stocks. Robinhood eased up on those restrictions today but the backlash has been fierce. Here is reaction from conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh and bar stool sports Founder David portnoy. Its not just political now. The elites are Bent Out Of Shape that a bunch of average, ordinary users have figured out how to make themselves billionaires. Everything is rigged in favor of the elites. This has upset the rigging. I think its criminal. There has to be an investigation and people have to go to jail. Whether that actually happens i dont know. But ive never been more convinced about Market Manipulation and the people, the hedge funds controlling the game. Harris robinhood ceo is defending the decision. Watch. We had to make a very difficult decision to protect our customers and our firm. This decision was not made on the direction of any market maker. We are in a historic situation there is a lot of activity and buying concentrated in a small number of symbols to currently manage the risk and the deposit requirements. We had to restrict buying in these 13 stocks. Harris wonder if they will ask for evidence to show that . Also in focus this hour republican Congressman Ken Buck on how he plans to stop president bidens border overhaul. And the Wall Street Journals kim strassel on the Bombshell Report on new yorks Nursing Home Covid death rate and Governor Cuomo coming up this hour to answer questions on that. He has a Press Conference. Lets first, though, bring in Fox Business Anchor charles payne, host of making money. Our top story today. Charles, always good to see you. You know, it seems like this is now the elite against the average earning american and i would say maybe the elite might be outnumbered this time. I like that. The elite may be outnumbered in terms of numbers but their absolute power and control i think we saw it unfull display yesterday. Watching that clip of the robinhood guy, you know, i think some of it was disingenuous. One of the things were living in is the era of easy money. Easy for almost any company. There are a whole bunch of companies, 20 of the market they call zombie companies. They can raise money. There had to be a meeting at robinhood where everyone sat around the table and said our Capital Requirements which means we need more money running low. What should we do . One thing they could have done is made a phone call, raised a billion, one phone call. Instead they chose the hedge funds over their customers. And this phoniness about restricting trading. They dont restrict trading, they restricted buying. So you could sell the stock that was in free fall perhaps taking a loss, but you could not buy it. You could join the folks who have been trying to pound the stock into submission, you can join with them against your own selfinterest. That was the only option robinhood left their customers who they spent the last couple years luring with free stock, great commercials about independence and freedom and then they turned on them at the moment of truth. Harris yeah. Im wondering what the immediate fallout for the little guys and gals who are trying to trade, those smaller retail shops on behalf of everyday americans, whats the immediate backlash against them . What are they feeling today . Theyre upset. They are really upset. They come to my twitter handle all day long. By the way so everyone knows i deal with individual investors every day. I have my own Research Team in addition to what i do at fox business and doing it for 35 years. I know individual investors better than anyone. Ill tell you this, what were missing is the Independence Movement on full display last march when the stock market was in free fall, the fastest bear market down 31 in a flash. Wall street says it goes loe, it will get worse and individual investors said nope, in March Of 2009 you told me that and it turned around. In 2001 i sold stocks and regretted it. This time i follow the first axiom of wall street. They stopped listening to the powers of wall street and theyve done very well. Not just the gamestops. It was a broad basket of stocks performed up 80 to the s p being up 20 . The most important thing everyone has to understand. You cannot deliberately you should not be allowed to deliberately try to push a stock down. If you think it will go down, thats fine. What hedge funds have been able to do for years is deliberately push those stocks down and had the mechanisms, the money and power to do it. This is their comeuppance. Harris it feels like a trend in where we are right now. Taking the power away from those who want the most power all over us like big tech and looking out for yourself. Lets see how it works out. Charles payne, thank you for getting things started today. Make sure the catch charles paynes interview with bond king and ceo Jeffrey Good Locke on his show at 2 30 many eastern today on fox business. Were awaiting now a News Conference this hour by new York Governor Andrew Cuomo. You know he is in some hot water. He may respond to what the New York Post calls deadly lies, a scathing report from the states Attorney General found the state Health Department may have undercounted the number of covidrelated nursing home deaths by up to 50 . It also says the states Advisory Last March that Nursing Homes go ahead and accept covidinfected patients may have put those elderly residents at higher risk for death. The state Health Commissioner has pushed back on some of the claims in the report. However, new york congresswoman Elise Stephic says someone should be held responsible. Issue subpoenas. In democrats and republicans in the state senate and assembly are finally coming together to Issue Subpoenas and continue the independent investigation at the federal level with the department of justice. Harris corruption, did you hear that allegation . Money and power could be at the heart of this. Were looking into the story in brooklyn, new york, bryan. The fact is over the last 10 months journalists, grieving families and lawmakers have been asking new York Governor Andrew Cuomo and his administration to reveal the true total number of nursing home residents who died of coronavirus statewide. The lack of transparency has only fueled the speculation and belief that the administration was trying to sort of downplay the numbers to essentially avoid blame for these deaths. Yesterday after new yorks a. G. Released this investigative Report Finding that the total number of deaths among nursing home residents was as much as 50 higher than what was being reported the States Department of health released that true number. That number 12,743 is nearly 4,000 more than what was being reported by the state. Thats because new york had only been including in the count those who died at the homes, not those who died after being transferred to hospitals. With nearly 13,000 dead new york now tops the list as the state with the highest number of nursing home residents who have died of covid19. The a. G. s report also found that the cuomo administrations decision forcing Nursing Homes to accept covid19 infected patients may have increased the risk of harm to residents. Reacting to the a. G. s report new yorks Health CommissionerHoward Zucker blamed others for the nursing home tragedy quote. The recurring problems in Nursing Homes and by Facility Operators resulted from a complete abdication by the Trump Administration of its duty to manage this pandemic. All of this confirms that many Nursing Home Operators made grave mistakes and were not adequately prepared for this pandemic. The a. G. s report also found that Nursing Homes did not have enough ppe, Personal Protective Equipment nor did they have enough covid19 testing or staff. New yorks Nursing Homes are saying the fact is new yorks politicians and politicians nationwide did not prioritize them. We saw the Javits Center turned into a makeshift hospital. We saw the u. S. Center in queens turned into a hospital. These beds went vacant. All the while Nursing Homes really were fighting the covid19 pandemic on the front lines. The white house was just asked moments ago whether or not there would be a federal investigation into new yorks Nursing Homes crisis here. Take a listen to what they said. I would say any investigation i would point you to the department of justice. Does the white house think it should be looked into further . Any investigation would be led by the department of justice. Were in a new age. Theyre independent and determine what paths they take moving forward. Governor cuomo will have a Press Conference in about 20 minutes, harris. Harris that will be quite interesting. Thank you for the facts on the story, bryan. Good to see you. The first sentencing in john durhams investigation into the origins of the russia probe is actually getting underway this hour. Gillian turner has the details for us. Gillian. Kevin clinesmith is about to be sentenced for his role in Crossfire Hurricane and pled guilty to doctoring an email that officials later used to justify secret surveillance of former president Trumps Campaign in 2016. This is so far the only criminal allegation from special prosecutor john durhams review of the f. B. I. s russia case. His team of prosecutors are arguing that clinesmith should serve several months in prison for his crime saying it is plausible that his Strong Political views and or personal dislike of trump made him more willing to engage in the fraudulent and unlegislature call conduct that he pled guilty. The defendant plainly shown he did not discharge his duties with professionalism, objectivity of such a sensitive job position. Durhams examination is continuing now. President obama, former President Obamas director john brennan told fox news he has no problem with the probe continuing under president biden. I do believe that john durham is going to carry out his responsibilities ably and hopefully not with any type of political influence. Clinesmiths own attorneys have been pleading in this instance they feel probation would be more appropriate. We are oef about to find out how it will all shake out. Harris. Harris glad youre on it. Congresswoman alexandria ocasiocortez throwing an incendiary claim at senator ted cruz. Why she is now facing demands for an apology. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi making quite an accusation herself about her republican colleagues. And threats to capitol security. They owe this country an apology. Now to say they want the taxpayers to pay for more security for them when they dont do it for anybody else . Its hypocrisy at its height. Ar, then im not a real idaho potato farmer. Genuine idaho potatoes not just a side dish anymore. Always look for the Grown In Idaho seal. Did you know you can go to libertymutual. Com to customizes your Car Insurance so you only pay for what you need . Really . I didnt aah ok. Im on vibrate. Aaah only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Three thousand dollars. Three thousand dollars thats how much veteran homeowners can save every year by using their va benefits to refinance at newday. Record low rates have dropped to new all time lows. With the Va Streamline Refi theres no appraisal, no income verification, and no money out of pocket. One call can save you 3000 a year. Harris were keeping a briefing on the white house, director of the cdc just speaking now on school reopening. Something top of mind for millions of students and their parents. Here she is from moments ago. Lets watch. Accumulating data suggests School Settings do not result in rapid spread of covid19 when mitigation measures are followed including masking, decreasing density and proper ventilation. Implementing communitybased strategies that reduce transmission when there is a lot of virus in a particular area is also important to supporting the safe reopening of schools. Harris dr. Anthony fauci moments ago also talked about hopefully the news of the Johnson Johnson single dose vaccine. Johnson johnson today reporting in the single shot vaccine was 66 effective overall at preventing moderate to severe illness and much more protective 85 against the most serious symptoms. We will bring you more updates as we get them from this News Conference. Socialist revolutionaries like aoc and probably 50 or so democrats that are now elected i think now they have a majority of the party because they put pressure on the rest of the party. The more she can accuse ted cruz and other republicans of doing things that are evil, the legacy Mainstream Media will continue to repeat it and it will become the truth out there in the socalled hinterlands of manhattan. Harris thats devin nunes after alexandria ocasiocortez rejected a sign of cooperation from senator ted cruz with this tweet. You almost had me murdered three weeks ago so you can sit this one out. Happy to work with almost any other gop that arent trying to get me killed. In the meantime, if you want to help, you can resign. That was in response to senator cruz tweeting that he fully agreed with her that there should be hearings on a developing gamestop situation on wall street. Power panel slides in now. Sean duffy former republican congressman from wisconsin. Fox news contributor as well. Jason nichols, University Of Maryland professor of africanamerican studies. Good to see you, gentlemen. Why would should respond that way with a reachout from across the aisle . Great question because as we know ted cruz had a completely legal and constitutional right to call into question what was happening in the november president ial election. For that ocasiocortez accuses him of Attempted Murder . Listen, harris, i was in congress for almost nine years. Contrary to popular belief there is bipartisanship in the congress. This is destroying any kind of bipartisanship youll ever have in the congress. Theyre destroying bipartisanship that exists in the congress. Republicans showed restraint when almost 12 members of congress were shot and almost killed on a baseball field. Steve scalise and after wives were called hookers. We showed restraint and didnt blame ocasiocortez. We didnt blame bernie saernsd. We showed restraint to say its important we Work Together and come together. This is outrageous that she would use this language against ted cruz. It is Dividing Americans and the congress. Harris i dont have to ask jason where big tech is on this. Is it Fact Checking . I dont have to ask. I know already. I didnt see a disclaimer on that from them. Maybe their Fact Checkers are napping. My question for you is when does such let me say to your other guest im not so sure that aoc was in congress. I think she was probably working at a bar when Steve Scalise and others were shot. For her to sit there and receive the blame for that seems ridiculous. Let me just say i think that what she is saying actually has a whole lot of merit because nothing would have happened at the Capitol On January 6th if people hadnt pushed the big lie, cruz, hawley, kennedy, marshall, hyde, smith and. They are all complicit. They should resign. There was a person who threatened to kill who was present on january 6th who threatened to kill and assassinate aoc. She has every right to be upset. Every right to say that this person was involved in that. Now, there are harris let me step in. I want sean to respond to this. How can democrats have it both ways . Theyre saying they want to impeach in the senate now convict a president that is already gone on the very charges that Jason Nichols is making against some other republicans. I think thats a great point. It is hypocrisy but were in a situation where Democrats Use insend rear language wanting to attack republicans and call someone a racist. If you call someone racist you can silence them and shut them down and demonize them and saying they are fair targets for attack. Is it racist for limited government, lower taxes, following the rule of law . Thats not racist. Thats a traditional american. When we fight for those things you are all of a
