[closing bell rings] building home for heros.org thank you very much. i hope there are more of out there. ceo -- ♪. larry: hello, folks, welcome to "kudlow," i'm larry kudlow. all right the israeli war

against the barbaric hamas-hezbollah-iranian terrorists now in its second month. let's go straight to our own edward lawrence live from the white house, fresh off the john kirby national security press briefing for all the latest. edward, what can you tell us? >> reporter: i can tell you the prime minister of israel, benjamin netanyahu saying they will have a security responsibility for gaza once this is all done. they said, what we're seeing what happens when they don't have that responsibility. now today the pentagon confirmed that 40 times iranian proxies since october 17th attacked u.s. forces. 46 americans were injured, one died in the attacks. so far the u.s. responded with just two strikes. >> so on the iranian proxies why isn't the president's message of don't getting through them? >> you would have to talk to the proxies there. what i would tell you is that they continue to attack american troops and facilities at their

own peril. we will, we will do what we need to do. >> reporter: senate source familiar with the says the biden administration plans to send $320 million worth of precision guided bombs to israel for the tunnel phase. president biden calling for humanitarian pause. here is the reception. >> as far as tactical little pauses an hour here, hour there, we had them before. i suppose we'll check the circumstances in order to enable goods, humanitarian goods to come in or hostages, individual hostages to leave but i don't think there will be a general cease-fire. >> reporter: senator ted cruz sees weakness out of this white house. listen. >> what was the biden administration's response? we'll send $100 million to gaza that will go straight to hamas. that is insanity. stop sending money to people who are killing not only our allies but killing americans. don't give money to terrorists

who want to kill you this is something the white house does not seem to understand. >> reporter: in this hour we will first see the president publicly today. he will be touring demonstrations of future technology. back to you. larry: edward, there is a flap developing over, you know i know it's postwar and it is premature because the war is heating up and so forth but if israel doesn't want to govern gaza but they want to make sure gaza is secure and i thought i heard during this press briefing that kirby is expressing the view we don't want israel, we the united states, doesn't want israel involved in gaza. this sounds like another piece of pushback in addition to holding israel back for the cease-fire? >> reporter: it might be a little pushback, maybe nuances in the words in the briefing. in the briefing nsc spokesperson john kirby said they will not, approve of hamas in a government of gaza after this is all done.

benjamin netanyahu making the point without security responsibility, not saying what that is, not calling it occupation, not saying police force, some responsibility of security they can't protect their own citizens. you might be mincing words here a little bit but there is a little bit of pushback. the israelis are not totally listening to what the president is saying. they're calling for humanitarian pauses, an hour, benjamin netanyahu saying an hour is a humanitarian pause. some could argue maybe it is, maybe it isn't. there is definite pushback from what the bidens would like to see and what benjamin netanyahu is doing. larry: i see some space but great reporting. edward lawrence, we appreciate it very, very much. folks continuing this discussion, joining us now john roberts coanchor of "america reports" on fox news. he was in israel. back in washington safe and sound. john, thank you for doing this john on a slightly different subject, still the war, i guess 42, 40 or 42 hits later on

american military assets in the middle east, i will characterize them as iranian, iranian proxy hits, what exactly has the united states done to hold iran or anybody else accountable? they keep talking about accountability, john. where is the accountability? what have they done? >> i don't think there is much on the accountability front. there is a lot on the deterrents front though. we've got an awful lot of firepower in the eastern mediterranean. we've got the eisenhower battle group going into the persian gulf and the pentagon cent come on, took the rare step showing the world where one of ohio class boomer nuclear powered submarines is. that is usually most top of top secret where those subs are because we don't want our adversaries to know where the subs are operating in case they are needed at a moments notice but in terms of holding iran into account all we've done so far we bombed a storage shed and

some other munitions depot deep in the heart of syria but even in terms of tough rhetoric towards iran, the administration is keep saying don't, something i say to our dog, larry, when he tries to take a sock out after laundry. at the same time we hear iran's defense minister if the united states doesn't call a cease fire, iran will hit it very hard or will get hit very hard. i'm not sure where the reciprocal language is. in the past administration, you were there, there was a lot of tough language and iran backed off. larry: i grew up in the reagan administration a long i'm ago. the gipper used very, very tough language. you're right, in the trump administration president trump and others pompeo and others used tough language. bolton used tough language, et cetera. it wasn't my bailiwick but the national security bailiwick. i'm just astonished how

little -- you're right about the fire power, my goodness, you're totally right and i'm sure iran and the crazies understand that but you know, you are supposed to send messages, you're supposed to send signals. and i know it is not exactly the same but look, trump bombed the syrian airport while having chocolate cake with xi xinping in mar-a-lago and took out -- >> i remember that. larry: he took out soleimani and so forth. those by themselves may not have turned the tide but they sent a message, john and i just, every day mr. kirby, i'm not, i don't know kirby, okay? it is not personal, i'm just saying every day i hear mr. kirby talk about holding them accountable. every day i see the iranian terrorist proxies lobbing missiles or drones at our american military assets, i don't get it. >> again there is a lot of implied threat there but i don't think that there is a tremendous amount of actual threat there

and if you listen to the iranian leadership talk about it they're really thumbing their nose at baden. they don't think that he would actually pull the trigger on anything substantive. if he is not prepared to do what trump did, take out quassem soleimani, which as you know, larry, shocked the hell out of the iranians, they never thought that was going to happen, the iranians continue to think so you have got a big military you have a lot of boats in the region but you're not actually going to use them for anything that is going to hurt us. it is a bit of a game of cat-and-mouse right now. iran knows this president is playing that. i think biden is really afraid of pushing something in a certain direction, which triggers then a regional set of dominoes that fall. you have got a conflagration. he is hoping that with the posture and the way that israel is conducting the war and enough attention on getting humanitarian aid into gaza, that he can keep a lid on things. he can keep hezbollah out.

he can really keep iran out for the most part and then keep a lid on this thing. but, as you know well, history has proven that whether it's ronald reagan or whether it's donald trump or whether it's george bush, talking tough to iranians saying if you do this you're going to get really hurt as a result that is what they understand. i don't know they understand don't. my doing does to some degree but he still steals socks. larry: my does too. i didn't want to laugh at that but it is a serious matter and terrific metaphor. i have a dog too. you've been in israel. you covered it white house press room, back here in fox in washington, d.c. how much space is there between the united states and israel right now on this war? >> i don't think there's a whole lot. you can base that on not necessarily what you hear but what you see. obviously biden is playing to

two disparate constituencies here he is desperately trying to hold on to both of he is trying to hang onto the pro-israel constituency and trying to hold on to the arab-american constituency which he is losing. rashida tlaib is drawing fire more fire from democrats than she has in the past. at same time he is sending $300 million of missile conversion kits to get jdams to go after the tunnel complexes and other precision targets. on one hand what he is doing giving israel exactly what it needs to prosecute this war. on the other hand the rhetoric is much more balanced with all the cautions are issued. kirby was full of those today at the briefing about civilian casualties and how those have to be limited and making sure that israel is adhering to the laws of war. behind the scenes, what is being delivered i think it is full

steam ahead with israel. larry: terrific stuff, john roberts, we appreciate it. by the way folks, catch john, coanchor sandra smith, "america reports" weekdays 1:00 p.m. eastern on fox news. john, thanks a million, we appreciate it. folks i want to weigh in, i want to switch gears away from the war, for heavens sakes, at least partly away from the war, a recent editorial from a recent conservative editorial page newspaper, i will not name any names, is asking quote, will trump be indicted into office? question mark. this is their response to the recent spate of polls showing mr. trump leading in nearly all of the toss-up states and defeating joe biden a year from now. all right. then, there is another headline that i will identify from "the washington post," it is entitled eight columnists discuss how in the world is trump winning question mark? half of those columnists were

conservatives, just saying. they too completely missed the point. all right, trump is winning on the issues, can i make that as clear as i possibly can? he is winning on high gas and grocery prices. he is winning on high interest rates on mortgages and credit cards. he is winning because americans are sick of the socialist green new deal. they don't want to give up gasoline-powered cars, gas stoves, hot water heaters, dishwashers, wood burning pizzas because a bunch of 30 something ivy league bureaucrats tell them they can't have this kind of stuff? trump is winning because from day one back in 2015 he warned about illegal immigration, job losses, falling real wages. trump is winning because his tax cuts generated huge income gains for typical families and lower income folks. trump is winning because he took out soleimani, bankrupted iran,

befriended israel, changed middle-eastern politics with the "abraham accords." trump is winning because he rang the warning bell on china and followed through with tough trade policies. trump is winning because the nonwhite working class is desserting democrats and moving into the republican column as as a result of all the issues just cited. trump is winning because democrats and rino republicans thought the election would be about legal problems but in fact, most of the country see right through that as a two-tiered justice system denying his free speech, a problem by the way, they themselves fear they may encounter. trump is winning because he wants parents to run the schools and cops to run the streets. joe biden's democrats bet wrong big-time on class warfare and attacking success where ironically the wealthiest and best-educated voters now probably go more for biden than

trump. democrats bet completely wrong again on illegal immigration thinking that a pathaway to voting citizenship for another 8 million illegals was a terrific idea but it wasn't. it was a terrible idea. in fact, turns out hispanic voters have basically the same negative view on this as white voters. meanwhile african american voters had trump's record low unemployment rate and trump's upward mobility opportunities and they liked it. in "politico" this weekend republican pollster patrick rafini calls it emerging working class republican majority. in "the wall street journal"'s book review section, a long article by john judas, roy teixeira, chronicle democratic disasters on open borders and illegal immigrants. finally there is such a populist revolt going on out there on these key issues, even voters

under 30 years old are a biden-trump toss-up. never thought i would see that. know what? kind of reminds me how young people came to love ronald reagan because of his decisive leadership and key policy successes. these are reasons donald trump is leading the pack right now. polls are not votes. they're just snapshots of a point in time. the election is a year away but i will say this right now, that's why trump is winning. all right? that is my riff. folks coming up, 40 hits later on our military assets, how have we held anyone accountable at all? we're very happy, we've got alabama senator katie britt right here on set to weigh in on that and her new wonderful book, all when "kudlow" returns. you know what, folks? issues matter a lot. ♪.

larry: so as i mentioned to john robert as few minutes ago, 40 hit later on our military assets how has the united states held anyone accountable whatsoever in this middle-eastern war? joining me now to talk about that, a number of other things, alabama senator katie britt, author of the brand new book, "god calls us to do hard things, from the alabama wiregrass. i read 100 pages of it. it is a wonderful book. welcome to the show. senator, we appreciate it. >> thank you, very much, larry, an honor to be with you today. larry: you're very well. it is very annoying to me, 40 hits later, mr. john kirby goes into the white house press room, national security spokesman

talks about holding everybody accountable but we do nothing. we do nothing. you've been tough on this you did it again today. my second fear is there may be some breaches between the united states and israel which i would find to be unacceptable. >> absolutely. i think you look at what president obama said over the last few days. larry: oh, yes. >> we're sieving that. we're seeing the kind of internal protests coming out of the state department and we have to make sure we say absolutely not. we're not going back tote obama era. that is what biden continues to do with an appeasement strategy. we have to go back to trump's bone-crushing sanctions. there actually has to be consequences for behavior like this. anyone who thinks they will find a moderate to deal request in the iranian regime is literally on a fool's errand. we have to make sure we protect our troops, protect our safety and also stand with israel, stand firmly. when we said never again after the holocaust, it has to mean

actually never again. it doesn't mean never again when it's easy, doesn't mean never again whether it is convenient. larry, we have hamas saving we will continue to recreate october 7th over and over and over again, exactly. they have said that. >> that is absolutely the barbaric terrorists have to be eradicated. that is the beginning and the end of the story. larry: you mentioned the obama thing. i find that it is most curious his dog-and-pony show on some media outlet saying everybody's hand is dirty. >> yeah. larry: he was a guy who gave iran billions and billions of unfrozen assets, plus a huge chunk of cash and of course that went right into their investment into terrorism which ultimately probably resulted in this conflagration we're seeing now,

financing hamas. how can a guy like obama say that with a straight face? >> absolutely. the only people with blood on their hands is terrorists who committed barbaric atrocities and iran who funded them. to your point where did the funding come from? what did they which the result would be? people who chant death to israel, "death to america," give them unlimited resources and expect them to play nice? look at hamas, obviously we look at iran funding hamas, funding hezbollah in lebanon, funding houthis in yemen, funding and training them. hamas said their goal is to eradicate the state of israel. the anti-semitism we're seeing here is disgusting, despicable a fundamental crack truly in our nation that we just can't sit here and call evil evil. that you have a former president that is trying to make an excuse for barbaric, disgusting, despicable terrorism. larry: why is it so hard to

understand the importance of restoring the sanctions to cut off their money. >> i don't know -- larry: money is pretty much everything in this game because of the financing. i mean i know they can plot but, you know, trump was not perfect, i understand that but trump basically bankrupted iran, okay? >> correct. larry: why is it so, the senate is -- i'm surprised, joni ernst has been on many times, a wonderful lady. she was trying to build a bipartisan coalition for restoring the sanctions but it doesn't appear to be happening. that is absolutely what we need to do. when we're talking to g7 we -- we got a hearing in the senate banking committee. i got to serve that day as the ranking member. we know about the sanctions. drying up iran economically is the path to peace. it worked under trump. they were able to see him do the work that you did as you alluded to with "abraham accords" and others so we know how to achieve

this. why in the world people are wanting to go backwards is beyond me. larry: let's turn to the book. >>'s do the it, god calls us to do hard things. i was able to read 100 pages of it. it is a very interesting book. what do you mean, god calls us to do hard things. >> the title came for my children. the reason i ran, for my kids, next generation, preserving for the american dream, fighting for fundamental values and principles that nation was valued on. faith, freedom, prosperity. you know, family the whole thing. so my daughter, my son sat me down first when i went to, we were talking about running for the senate, i was looking for a way out and my son said, no, mom, you have got to do this. larry: you weren't the favorite. >> no i had an opponent polling 65%, sitting congressman. i was polling two. larry you been around politics you put your name on the ballot

you get to four. the fact i only got to two is remarkable but doesn't inspire confidence. my daughter sat me down and said mama you got to run. without talking about the polling, without my husband and i would have to resign from our jobs, saying it was impossible for 39-year-old female to get elected in alabama. she said mama, doesn't god call you to do hard things? larry: well, how old is she. >> she is now 14. at the time she was just turning 12. between my son's wisdom, hers, knowing that every generation has been called to do hard things. and i believe that each and everyone of us have a different arena. we have a different purpose that god calls us to. this book talks about life lessons. larry it talks about my failures. people too often talk about their peaks not their valleys when god carves you up and prepares you. larry: faith helps you beat the

fear of failure. >> that's exactly it. larry: isn't that what faith is, god is on your side? >> that's it. larry: i don't know if it is true, if we think it is true, believe it is the case that is what really matters. >> if you ask god he will walk with you. that is what we asked him to do in this journey. we've got to get back to that as a nation. get back to these principles that make our country so great and be prepared because we need everyone to step into the arena. not everyone's arena is the u.s. senate. every one's is different. but we've got to, this helps just tell life lessons, teach our kids the values that we hold so dear that i think make this country so great. we have to make sure we hold on toys, we'll take a quick break. during the break you will autograph that book for me. >> thank you. larry: say once again how wonderful it is to have senator katie britt on the show. pick up a copy of katie's new book, god calls us to do hard things, lessons from the alabama wiregrass. that is out today? >> out today. larry: one click on amazon, where you ever you want to buy it. senator, thank you very much.

folks coming back here, are taxpayers going to be stuck with another massive budget-busting, debt-creating, omnibus bill? in fact there might be two omnibus bills. we'll try to talk about that with senator rand paul. plus you don't want to miss this, green etfs, exchange traded funds are down 40% year-to-date. i want to know if mr. wonderful, you know who, is ready to jump in to buy all the greenfully stuff. hint, hint, i don't think so but we'll ask him all when "kudlow" returns, and faith beats fear according to senator britt and she is right. ♪.

♪. larry: all right, didn't get much press yet but special counsel david weiss, remember him? he testified today behind closed doors? front of the house judiciary committee on the biden extortion coverup. let's go street to fox news

justice correspondent david spunt. david, what could you glean from this meeting? >> reporter: well, hey, larry, this is still going on. it has been going on behind closed doors since 10:00 a.m. david weiss made history since the first special counsel in history to comen questions before congress. republicans say they was evasive. did not answer questions about the investigation. democrats say the entire purpose today was not to talk about the investigation but his authority over the hunter biden case. now remember those irs his sell blowers, one of them named gary shapley. owe came out and testified that weiss complained he was denied special counsel status last year in 2022 and could not charge hunter biden in either washington, d.c. or california because of politics. >> when he was specifically asked did you ever request special attorney authority under section 515 mr. weiss's response was yes, in the spring of 2022. so that goes to the heart of the matter.

he requested it. was not given that request. did not have the authority throughout the time yet he pretend somehow he did have that >> reporter: larry, three sources tell fox news house republicans chose to interview weiss behind closed doors though doj officials along with democrats wanted this to be in a public setting today in front of cameras. >> the reason the department of justice would agree and want this to be public is because they are well aware there was no interference. >> reporter: so now we await a transcript from what's going on inside, larry but i do have some of what weiss told the committee behind closed doors. at no time was i blocked or otherwise prevented pursuing charges or taking steps necessary in the investigation by other united states attorneys or the tax division or anyone else at the department of justice this continues to go on, larry, we'll see if this goes on another hour or so. back to you. larry: david, this is a quick

follow up, i just don't understand how they can, i understand goldman is a partisan guy from new york city, blah, blah, but the fact is, weiss asked for special attorney status going back to the spring of 2022 and he was not granted that status. that is not special counsel but it would have given him authority, as i understand it to prosecute cases in delaware and in washington, d.c., and in california. that authority was denied. so i don't see, there was a coverup here or am i reading too much into this? >> reporter: no, larry it is an absolutely fair question. it is one that we posed to democrats. republicans are arguing that yes he asked for the special attorney status in the spring of 2022, was not granted that but doj officials have pointed out and democrats they say that weiss was told specifically if he wanted to bring charges in california or in the district of columbia to go to those u.s. attorneys and let them know he

wanted to bring charges there and ask if they wanted to partner with him. if they said no, then he was able to do it anyway but republicans say just having to go through the step of letting them know is partisan, is concerning however weiss today is doubling, tripling even quadrupling down with the statement that i read he said at no time at any point did anybody in the department of justice tell me i could not bring charges against hunter biden. the big thing though is that this, i will be brief here, is that hunter biden will go to trial on these gun charges. david weiss is prosecuting that in delaware and david weiss also who is now special counsel as of august a few months ago said he wants to charge hunter biden or will likely charge hunter biden with tax crimes in either washington, d.c. or california where he currently lives. larry: yes. no, no. david spunt, great job. great reporting job, really, we can't thank you enough. folks joining me now, kentucky senator rand paul, great friend

of the show. senator, i don't know if you want to talk about that or not. i have is not really necessary. i was getting very excited, not about that, i don't get excited about the justice department anymore. we all know the answers but i'm understanding, you got to help me out here, you're a fiscal conservative, tough budget guy, tough debt guy, we could be looking at two large omnibus spending bills this fall. one of them on a foreign aid supplemental and the second one on, what, eight or nine or 10 appropriation bills that the senate has not yet passed. after all the rhetoric about regular order and all this stuff, senator rand paul, tell me it isn't so, tell me it isn't so? >> well, the inside baseball crowd here in d.c. are trying to convince us that a megabus is different than a omnibus. larry: oh. >> for folks at home, that means they bundle a bunch of spending bills all together in one bill whether megaor omni, it is

disaster for the taxpayer. the only way we have the power of the purse and the only way we exercise the power of the purse is to have individual appropriation bills. this is what speaker johnson was elected to do and i think he is going to do it. i'm proud of him for his first legislation, he singled out, took as an individual bill israel aid but he is paying for it by reducing the irs budget. this is the way it should always be, no new spending unless we cancel out some other spending. larry: i think that is a terrific start, i couldn't agree with you more but now i'm reading a couple things i want to ask you about. number one, ukraine and border reform stuff, okay, whether that is chuck schumer want as whole bill, $150 billion, ukraine, israel, border, taiwan and something called emergency aid. so i'm just calling that a foreign aid supplemental. makes no sense to me. violates what speaker mike johnson is trying to do with respect to cutbacks as you just

mentioned. how realistic is that? is that what is going to happen? are we going to be faced with that? and senator paul, are these border reforms, i know mitch mcconnell wants them, are they any good? i looked at them in the reporting, doesn't look like they're sew fantastic, the border would still be open? >> unfortunately this is senator mcconnell supporting president biden and chuck schumer. going along with the kitchen soup approach, kitchen sink approach, dumb everything into the kitchen sing, ukraine, israel, the border, taiwan everything into a 100 billion-dollar bill. realize what another mcconnell and senator schumer are doing here. they are asking for over $100 billion and insisting it not be paid for. president biden aligned with this, unprecedented to ask to pay for something. i say it is about damn time to pay for something around here. the precedent speaker johnson is setting if he sticks by his guns he will prevail.

there is no leverage the senate has to force him to do this. israel got five billion last year. they got a lot of money, a lot of arm 345ments, if they want more if the senate wants to pass it, they will pass what speaker johnson put northward. if they don't israel won't get their aid. he diefy president biden to come forward i will veto aid to israel if paid for with irs cuts. won't happen. if speaker johnson sticks by his, is courageous on this, i think in the end that is what passes israel aid by itself but paid for which will set the precedent that is what we're doing from now on. you want more money for ukraine, you will have to cut more irs money that is the trade-off. larry: pay-fors, 100% you know. you know me, 100% but look it, i'm just looking at this business about, you've seen these polls. you know washington, or "new york times/sienna poll" but there are a lot of polls out. people are furious at the open borders, at the illegal immigration and what it is doing

to the economy and it's a national issue. it is not just a border issue. you know that as well as anybody. my point is i don't see, what kind of reforms are we talking about? yes i noticed build a wall but doesn't specify how much of the wall, the trump wall. i don't see catch and deport. i don't see remain in mexico. i don't see replacing title 42. i mean sometimes the game's not worth the candle, senator paul. >> unless you change the law and allow people who come across the river illegally to be immediate put back on the other side, unless you change the law to do that nothing is going to change. i suspect what democrats will call border security is a bunch of of money to new york city to house illegal immigrants and paying for migrant hotels around the country, maybe sending the migrants to disney world. but it will not be sending migrants back across the rio grand. i'm very suspicious of it. i don't like the fact they're

lumping into a bill with another 50, 60, billion dollars to ukraine and no pay force, no conditions, no conditions that you rain ukraine has to do something. we're paying for ukraine pensions, ukraine small businesses, a dress shop got a grant from us. this is crazy, americans are not for this. we have to borrow the money from china to sinned it to ukraine. larry: no, no listen, i may not agree with you 100% but you know what? there has got to be an exit strategy. there is a stalemate over there. we can't keep ponying up $100 billion a year with no conditionality, no diplomacy i think you have some important point, senator. if anything in the last six or nine months i probably moved in your direction on this whole issue. >> i knew it would happen, larry. i knew you and i were meant to be in the same place on this. larry: [laughter]. last 10 years it hadn't been much room between us. senator rand paul, you're

terrific, sir. thank you for coming back on the show. >> thank you. larry: all right, folks we'll have even more fun if such a thing is possible. we're interviewing mr. wonderful, that being kevin oilery, chairman of o'leary ventures, "shark tank" investors, author of cold hard truth on business, money and life in general. , i have, hope i have this right. i have a real bargain for you, kevin o'leary. clean energy stocks, this is so wonderful, etfs, wind, solar, we're going to put it up on the full screen. invest cosolar etf down 42% year-to-date. enphase solar down 40% year-to-date. global clean energy down 30%. solad edge down 29%. first trust global wind etf down 20%. mr. kevin o'leary, you are a brilliant investor, i'm offering you these stocks down 30, 40% year-to-date. are you ready to jump in on this

esg, wind and solar journey i'm going to call it? >> no, larry, i'm not. larry: [laughter] >> they won't buy -- these companies don't make any money and they don't make any money because of the cost of these technologies hat not yet to where they, they require government subsidies to work. the market is seeing there could be risk in the subsidy mandates because there may be change in administration. nobody knows obviously but let's take wind the last 12 months people figured out the transmission costs, the cable, actually wind in this country is not where people are. so you have to build transmission lines which cost billions of dollars. somebody has to pay for that. states aren't willing to do it. the feds are starting to look, that is an additional subsidy beyond what we've already paid for. so, no money to be made here. there is occurring in solar. i think these technologies don't have a place.

they will one day when they actually become economic but so far they haven't proven to be economic at all and markets figured it out. larry: all right. >> down, i think they will go down more. larry: oh. >> to make money, larry, that's a problem. larry: all right. we don't have a fabulous connection and you're a fabulous investor and you're a fabulous person so we'll get you back again. i do know that fossil fuel stocks have done very well this year even while wind and solar have not despite all this government money. anyway, kevin o'leary we appreciate it. i want to get you back on set. folks we'll take a quick break and coming up class warfare, as i said at the top of this show, class warfare not working for the democrats and throwing donald trump in jail for 700 years, not working for mr. biden. we're going to talk about it with the great charlie hurt when "kudlow" returns. ♪.

said at top of the show, class warfare didn't work, illegal immigration didn't work, throwing trump in jail 700 years didn't work. none of this stuff works and now they're blowing up biden. look at these numbers. what do you make of there? this is a gigantic democrat mistake? >> it is truly extraordinary. i will enjoy listening to all of them in therapy for the next year when they realize they have been dead wrong about this, that donald trump could isly easily win another term. watching what democrats have done to destroy their connection to working class americans by trying to turn everything into race and they do it openly and they talk about identity politics. that is just another, that is a nice term for racist politics and democrats have since, since barack obama democrats have embraced racist identity politics and they divide

everybody by race and gender, religion, all this kind of thing, pit them against one another, then run these campaign ads tailored toe each of these groups. it turns out that hispanic voters who work, want the same things that white voters who work want. larry: right, right. >> they have completely neglected those people and trump walked in with a message about work and prosperity and freedom. larry: yes. >> with great people like you at his side. he went and stole all those voters and they're not leaving him. larry: i mean northern white and white working class want the same thing, and by the by they want good values along with it. that is what the democrats have completely missed. hispanics don't want to see illegal immigrants anymore than blacks or whites do. this is, you know, the democrats just completely missed this. >> if we want to talk about who is racist, what could possibly be more racist than being a democrat and assuming that

hispanic-americans want illegal immigration just because of the color of their skin? that is the most racist thing there is but this is what they have bet on and then in terms of wanting to throw donald trump in jail, you know, it is absurd, you could do a poll in new york city and ask people to name the 10 most pressing issues affecting them in personal real ways and not a single person would list donald trump's business ventures as one of press issues. larry: exactly. >> meanwhile you walk down the street there is catastrophe on every street corner that politicians, democrats are ignoring so they could pursue this crazy, crazy agenda of locking up their prime political opponent. larry: this is just, not working for joe biden, you know. it is like, the country is saying we're not really into you. >> even democrats. larry: charlie hurt, i'm sorry, i don't have much time. this will be a recurring them. thank you ever so much, charlie
