all right, the israeli idf is punishing hamas murders now throughout gaza. meanwhile iran terrorist proxies hit u.s. military assets in the middle east. our own edward lawrence is live at the white house. reporter: state department and white house briefing here and jake sullivan national security adviser and two big themes and the criticism of the u.s. and at min strait and about 90 minutes ago, the state department addressed what the u.s. shown about the atrocitied committed on weapon for october 7. >> we've been briefed on a number of findings and we don't of course have our own independent assessments to make and no people on the ground conducting the assessments and

hamas has committed atrocities both on october 7 and since october 7 and we only condemn those atrocities and support israel's actions to hold hamas accountable for them. reporter: iran poking the eye of the united states again. uss kearney shot down -- uss carney shot down drones in the red sea and at least 75 times u.s. troops in positions have been attacked since october 17 and national security adviser jake sullivan says the u.s. is discussing ways on how to respond. >> we have every reason to believe that these attacks while they were launched by the houthis in yemen were fully enabled by iran. we have seen this unfold over the course of the day yesterday,

we are taking this time to consult with allies and partners because we believe this is not just an issue for the united states. these ships are -- were not u.s. commercial ships but from a variety of nation and we'll take the time to build a consultation and build a response that involves as much buy in from as many countries as possible. reporter: they're talking with allies as it seemed iranian-backed proxies are still attacking u.s. troops in the area and going after international ships in the red sea. larry. larry: thanks very much, edward lawrence, we appreciate it. iranian-backed terrorists continue to hit u.s. military assets, most recently iranian-backed athletics directory militia targeting israeli commercial ships as well as uss carney, biden national security adviser jake sullivan made this virtually unintelligible statement in the white house press room today. take a listen to this one. >> president and i along with

secretary blinken and director burns will stay in touch with the israeli and qatar could wanter parts to press hamas on the issue and ha has is refusing to release civilian women that should have been part of the agreement. and it is that refusal by hamas that has caused the end of the hostage agreement and therefore the end of the pause in hostilities. larry: let me get this right, mr. sullivan, presumably speaking for president biden, you're going to stay in touch without -- with our counter parties in israel, qatar and egypt to press hamas on the issue of hostages? sure, fine. we'll sit down on a long white table and talk calmly with the

cut throat murders of hamas. i don't think so. these people are not civilized. apart from the murder of 1400 innocent israelis and other civilians on october 7, murdering grannies, children, chopping heads off and putting children in ovens. we're learning of course more about sexual violence and rape committed by hamas. these people are not civilized. that is why you can't "sty in touch with them. the problem for mr. sullivan and his boss joe biden is the entire foreign policy crew and biden administration, they continue to appease iran. iran is the pay master and the chief vast jazz of ma hamas, hezbollah, houthis and others. this is about appeasement. it is also a failure of deuterons. in fact iran is doing the

escalating. apiecement will do that when you fear your enemy more than your enemy fears you. united states government seems to be doing virtually nothing to deter the terrorist. responses and diplomatic double speak and smoke blowing from the white house press room. that's all you get. next time mr. sullivan appears in the white house press room some enterprising reporter should ask him when his administration will enforce the economic and energy sanctions mandated by tong or stop the $35 billion a year oil sales to china. or interdict illegal shipping or impound illegal ships themselves or failing any of that when will the mighty u.s. military be unleashed to destroy iranian oil field or perhaps command troll centers or training centers in

iran and that kind of force is the only language iran will ever understand. right now know jude season not speaking their language and a -- joe biden is not speaking their language and a lot of servicemen and women are going to get hurt because of joe biden's malfeasance and that's my riff on the whole subject. here to discuss is cash patel and former deputy director of national intelligence and defense department chief of staff and author of the wonderful book government michigan gangsters. cash, when will the bidens learn? it is iran and it its proxies tt are escalating and of course they are because they don't seem to fear us and of course they don't seem to fear us because we don't seem to do anything about their escalation, kash, one thing leads to another. none is any good. what do you think?

>> great to be with you, larry. look, you and i know from our time in the trump white house, iran was a top tiered number one priority for intelligence collection, for defense againing our nation because they're the number one state sponsor of terrorism in the world. and you ask when will the biden administration learn. they simply have chosen not to. they have taken the course that the national security policy of the trump administrations wildly successful, they'll dot opposite because they want to appease as you say bend the knee and radical left wing agenda in the media. what it's causing is iran to launch a three fontal war. they got hezbollah on the north, hamas in the south and now they're attacking the seas and our strike force carrier groups in the red sea and one of the most important water ways in the world that connects to the gaza strip and we're doing nothing as you sate after 75 attacks on u.s. bases. larry: it continues. this fella jake sullivan that has had a very checkered political past, but we'll leave that alone for the moment.

he's the national security adviser. okay, so it goes. he's talking about keeping in touch we script and keeping in touch with qatar and keeping in touch with this and keeping in touch with that. it's like sitting down to a fancy french restaurant. did you like your water plain or bubbly. i mean, you can't keep in touch with hamas. first of all, hamas is being run by iran and second of all, these people aren't rational. we know they're not rational. there's only one thing they understand, cash kash, and thats force. significant force. which the bidens appear to be incapable of generates and that's what i don't get. it's been almost two months, in fact it's been two months and 75 some odd hits later on american military asset and still no real force response, kash patel. how is that possible? i mean, that's malfeasance of the worst sort.

>> you're absolutely right. look, they decided this on day one. in the trump administration, we designated the houthis and iranen proxy force in yemen that launched the strikes on the red sea and a foreign terrorist organization. we slammed them with that tag and went on offense because tay were terrorists killing allies and killing american interests and americans themselves being harmed. the biden administration in the first 30 days reversed that designate and called the houthis a humanitarian group and wanted to give them humanitarian relief and aid! i'm not saying there's not innocent people in yes, ma'am than need help but -- yemen that need help but the houthis are a terrorist organization and until you treat them as such, you'll have wartime efforts enacted against the united states of america and the biden administration is simply going to sit there and say look at all the peace we have around the world when we have two world wars and as a former chief of staff of dod, maybe i take this

a little personally, but you fire a rocket at the united states missile guided cruiser, we're firing ten back in the trump administration and we're shutting them down. we shot and murdered kalyna kany chiefs seem soleimani and now there's 75 attacks on nothing from joe biden. larry: it's going to renown against us and at some point those attacks won't be renowned and someone will get hurt. men and women patriots in our service wills get hurt, lose their lives because of this malfeasance and only language iran will ever understand is massive force. i don't understand it, kash, maybe i do but it seems to me. i'd like to see military voices talk about this as well beside you and a couple of other people. kash patel, we appreciate it very, very much. thanks for coming back on the show. coming up, head of abu dhabi

national oil company that led the un climate meeting, he says eliminating fossil fuels would send the world back to the caves. i couldn't have put it better myself. it's a lovely turn of the phrase. we're going to talk about it with mr. wonderful, the great kevin o'leary when kudlow returns.

the head of larry: the head of the national oil company was the host of the recent un climate meeting and he said intelligently eliminating toes 'til fuels would end all of us back to the caves. listen to this. >> please, help me, show me a road map for fazing out fossil fuels to allow, that would allow for socioeconomic development that's sustainable. larry: joining me with a comment or two about that and a few other things. we welcome back mr. kevin

o'leary, chairman of o'leary investors and author of the cold hard truth. you were there. how did the crowd react to that? >> larry, i'm your roaming reporter and i spent a whole -- over a week in uae, three huge things happened there. first of all, finance week prior to the climate meetings happened in abu dhabi. packed, you couldn't even walk there. they announced m2 exchange, the world's largest digital currency exchange going public this week there. everybody was there watching that thing. no. 2, they announced they're now the third in the world in the development of ai technology. with very acometive policy and -- accommodative policy. larry: who's they? >> the government of the united arab elmoarab emirates, specifiu dhabi and they want to

commercialize it. i put up my hand and i'm in doing that over there. larry: how about ending fossil fuels? >> then we went down the road to dubai where this conference was and that's what happened. that conference was -- everybody that's involved in this whole thing for the paris accord was there. it was also packed and this country is making a big name for itself in gathering world leaders. that statement by the way is correct, but he said more than that, which was not carried by the international press. they are the leaderers in carbon quest ration and they'll be the model for how this worses and invest how you can extract carbons and take out the emissions. he didn't get the press for that but the point is that's how these liters, exxon and everybody else shadowed in. eliminate methane and stop any carbon from leaking in the process, 99% of it and sequester it back in the ground. these guys are the leaders in how we're going to stay in

hydrocarbon as long as we need to and nobody picked that up. larry: through the use of new technologies. >> yeah,. larry: sensible people have been saying this for year after year. don't throw the baby out with the bath water. 80% of power around the world is fossil fuels. >> i left that conference realizing these guys have a road map and a plan. we should listen to what they're saying and dot same thing. they can keep energy security in their region. we should do it the same domestically here. we have a way to sequester the carbon and park it all under north dakota if we want with the salt caves and the technology. i'm an advocate for solving the transition period so we can all stay safe and with energy. the britts announced they're going to start drilling again. sorry, guys, after watching what happened in ukraine, they don't want to be without oil. larry: by the way, john kerry calls himself a militant, just

another headline. john kerry calls himself a militant and demands, demands, kevin o'leary, an end to coal plans anywhere around the world. i don't know if we have the chart up on the full screen but the biggest producer of coal is china. you don't say word about china. greenhouse. there, that little blue line is china and by the way, the united states is way down yell owe line and we're coming down and china is going and you happen kerry doesn't want nicole at all and doesn't talk about china. china is financing the war in the middle east by coal. >> they're putting up electricity and have electric cars they need electricity for and that requires coal. technology solves the problem, not policy alone. let the private sector invest in

tectology and then right now there's amazing technology available. larry: the greatest harm will come to the least process prose countries. >> larry, when i heard him say that i thought he's sitting in my seat on shark tank and telling the truth. that's the way it was. larry: one more, i want to quote bjorn on the show last week. it's very important. nobody ever does cost benefit analysis when the john kerries of the world say we have to get rid of all toe fossil fuels. each dollar is less than 17-cents of climate damage. undies counted loss over the next century is $1,800,000,000,000,000.

that would be the loss to the world economy. the world economy is only one hundred trillion. in thornhill tore is 18 times the size of the world economy would be the cost of eliminating fossil fuel. >> larry, the good news serve has figure that had out and starting to realize we need a long transitional tail and i think the leaders of this are going to be the big oil producing countries like uae. it's good news that everybody is waking and you happen smelling the roses on this story. it's really important and first time i've seen a climate conference and the truth was spoke and people said we need a transition period and let's do nuclear reactors too and get policies in place and keeping us secure and the whole thing was good news and frankly i couldn't believe how in people it attracted. it was packed. larry: i'll bet. one last thing speaking of that neck of the woods.

>> 100 million barrels a day and taken 5% out and despite that, oil price haves come down hawaii do you make of it? >> i don't think people believe when these quotas are named and put on the press. the market is liquid based on demand and frankly, you know, whether brazil joins or not, the best strategy for any country is to be independent on energy. period. larry: right. that's what we could have done. >> yeah, we've also -- larry: and should. >> should of course. when you g can get people listening to ideas of using technology and making oil extraction safe, you get policy that supports it. who knows what happens in the election, which is less than a year away. larry: indeed. >> this will be an issue. energy security is an issue.

by the way, we've got to fill up the reserves again too. that should be done with domestic oil, why not? larry: crowd down 78 and now $40 and west texas down to 73 and that too was close to synergy home arkansas why don't we just produce more and add the new technology. they're inventing new technologies to make it cleaner and then add nuclear modules now. that's what a kevin o'leary would do. would you invest in that? >> i think that's a long term strategy. oil will trade between 70 and 95. watch this, larry, during the whole election cycle. that's what's going to happen. when it gets past 80, people get squeamish and shows up at higher price, $4 in california. it's bad for policy when you all of a sudden have so much volatility in the energy prices. i think the election will have a big issue around energy and i

think you and i will be talking about it for the months to come. we are back in presidential election politics and policy. larry: yes, love it. kevin o'leary, the best of the best. thank you, kevin. >> thank you, larry. larry: folks, coming up on kudlow, fox digital brooke singman giving us a new report on new investigation on hunter biden payments to papa joe biden according to oversight chairman jamie comer. huh. we'll see. then we'll talk more and why doesn't the media talk about treating israel fairly? and we'll have senator joni ernjoniernst talking about whent back if we do for all the insults on iran. i'm kudlow and we'll be righ there are some things that go better... together. burger and fries... soup and salad. thank you!

larry: so is there new, new proof that hunterrer biden actually paid joe biden from chinese money had e received in we have brand new hot off the press feast. what do you have, brooke? >> hey, larry. hunter biden set up monthly palms to his father in 2018. those were $1,380 were transferred from hunter's business account to joe biden's personal account. now those transfers happened three times. once in september 2018, once in october 2018, and another in november 2018. now the house oversight committee subpoenaed hunter biden's financial records and released this one today. committee chairman james comer said joe biden has been lying about his involvement in his family's business dealings. listen to this. >> president joe biden claimed it was an absolute wall between his official government duties and his family's influence peddling schemes.

this was a lie. president joe biden claimed his family didn't receive money from china. this was a lie. president joe biden claimed he never spoke to his son hunter biden about the biden's family shady business dealings. this was a lie. now hunter biden's legal team and white house media allies claim hunter's corporate entities never made payments directly to joe biden. we could officially add this latest talking point to the list of lies. >> last week the committee shares an e-mail from a bank investor and raised concern about a 5 million wire hunter biden received from a chinese company. biden then transferred $400,000 to his pc business act and funds transferred to james biden is moved to personal account and james biden wrote joe biden a check for $40,000 and labeled as a loan repayment and comer says

that's yet another example of joe biden benefiting from the family business dealings and leading the impeachment inquiry from president biden alongside judiciary chairman jim jordan and ways and means committee jason smith. white house blasted the inquiry baseless and denies joe biden had any involvement in the businesses and meanwhile hunter biden is subpoenaed and expected to depose on all this next week. house republicans consider whether to draft articles of impeachment against the president, larry. larry: brooke, on the white house response basis, i think it's baseful, what you want to know from your report what comer said today, when was the original china deposit? before they went through all this money laundering to get to joe and then call it had all off, which is highly doubtful. whether did china originally make their deposit for what we don't know but it looked like influence peddling.

>> there's multiple chinese transfers and wire transfers and the one we're discussing here is for $5 million. that was in august 2018 to hunter biden's hudson west account. hunter then took $400,000 from that chinese wire to the owasko pc account. larry: he did know, he was involved in hunter's business. that's easy, but he was not vice president then? >> no, he was not vice president then. he was a private citizen and actually jamie raskin kin, the ranking member on the oversight and leading democrat on that panel is saying that there's reporting that suggests the $1,380 that hunter was transferring to his father was actually for a car payment, but what republicans are pointing to is the fact that whether hunter is using this money for a car payment to the president or what, he is sending money from his business account where he is receiving funds from china. so joe can -- president biden --

larry: joe should have never said what he said about no involvement with his son's finances. the republican haves more dots to connect. >> they definitely do and they're conning this investigation so we'll find out. larry: right off the press, brooke singman, nobody does it better. appreciate it very much. switching gears now, back to this whole iran business if you will. this is causing nothing but trouble and mischief in the middle east and hamas, yes, but spreading to the houthis and lord knows where. we welcome back to the show, iowa senator joni ernst, member of the senate arms committee. welcome to the show. every time you come on, we welcome you coming on, but there's a new attack on military assets. my point or my question is, you know, unless and until we use deterrence instead of appeasement, some very patriotic men and women serving in the

u.s. armed services are going to get hurt very badly or worse. i do not understand it, when do we hit back, senator ernst? >> that's right, larry, and thank you for having me. we should be hitting back every time our troops are in jeopardy and are the target coming from whether it's houthis or whatever proxy group iran happens to be funding today. we should be striking back immediately and we should do it with the president getting the authority to do it. that should serve as a greater deterrence than what we have right now. you know what, we should continue to build strength in the middle southeast let iran know we're not going to be bullied by them nor will any of our friends or allies. not only was the uss carney an object or their target, but we had three as well other ships owned by many other nations that were targeted by the houthis out

of yemen as well. we need to push back against iran and funding of proxy terrorists. larry: senator ernst, sounds almost quaint but why don't we simply enforce the sanctions, which have been around for quite some time and you and i have talked about this. i mean, it's just that quaint idea and look, mitch mcconnell who i wouldn't say is some craze the right wing hawk here has said the same thing and gave a very big speech a month ago or six weeks or whenever it was. why shouldn't we interdict ships and impound ships. or, senator ernst, why not have greater use of force and bomb oil fields for heaven's sake and that's their source of financing. >> yes, absolutely and i've pressed the administration on this very issue of sanctions and if it's not just republicans, larry. gnat torr blumenthal joined me in that effort to push the

president to enforce these sanctions and there's no reason we should allow iran to get away with selling more oil, exporting their oil, we should be interdicting that oil as its leaving iran and then using that to fund our victims of terrorism and fund here in the united states. there's so much we should be doing and we shouldn't allow loader knows why they're doing what they're doing but it just enables the iranians to target our men and women in uniform. larry: you're fighting the innervedable wave of anti-semitism and using the education act or trying to use the education department in the remaining time, can you give us a look at what you're cooking up

there? >> they're pushing the department of investigation to investigate anti-semitism at our collegers campuses but also in the k through 12 education system and we are telling them if you don't enforce title six of the civil rights act then we'll take away and take abay funding. stop anti-semitism and hate speech should not exist here in the united states. larry: yes, ma'am, senator joni ernst speaking common sense as always. thank you for coming back on. >> you bet, larry. larry: any time. moving right on here, back to kudlow, big question to our panelists, when is the mainstream media going to start talking about the hamas atrocities? such as brutal rapes of women and of course the killing of hostages. joining us now is mark simon,

wlr combined effecter radio host and joe concha and fox news contributor. gentlemen, thank you for coming back on. mark, it's as -- i mean, the mainstream media turned and they won't report what's going on. they're dealing with hamas as if it's a reasonable reasonable entity, which it's most certainly not. >> 2016 election and took the globes off and totally anti-trump and slanted everything and just an election to get the candidate and okay to do with anything including the future of israel. you can't completely slant the coverage. hamas has already killed six of the hostages and you don't hear about that anywhere. we've now got reports torching the hostages and don't hear anymore and just the fact the terrible conditions of the palestinians and don't report that israel got out of gaza in 2007 and nothing to do with running gaza and billions sent to hamas sent on terrorist camps, tunnel, and weapons and none getting reported and these crazy students protesting

against israel have no idea what's really going on thanks to the corrupt news media. larry: would the crazy students from the media be any crazier? i don't know that . the media is not reporting and for example it hit the white house press room today. sex crimes and rapings going on by hamas. that should be front and center reporting and it's not. >> why is that? intentional? is it a human error mistake? it's intentional because it's across the board element as if a memo went out at some point and cotton of fox news did a great report and went to the protests happening in new york like we see every day and asked what about all the atrocities that hamas committed on october 7 in terms of the rapes that you describe and kidnappings and obviously the slaughters and murders and the way they were done. she said most of the people said

they didn't believe the reporting. all that really didn't happen including the rapes. here's the thing, you don't have to believe the reporting, hamas gladly and gleefully recorded doing this. it's overwhelming evidence by the perpetrators and the peep out there protests are saying, don't believe your lying eyes, we don't believe the reports. it's not reports, it's video and it's out there and anybody can watch and if you do, it's one of the most horrifying things you'll see as a human being in your lifetime. larry: mark, still mainstream media used the hamas or gaza health hospital health numbers as if they're true numbers, which they're most certainly not and all those numbers of casualties and worse. we don't know who's the terrorist and who are the civilians. that's never broken down. a lot of terrorists are losing their lives and i don't think that's a bad thing at all. >> no, if you watch the sunday shows and all they talked about

was the ceasefire goal. the goal is to wipe out hamas. every last trace of it. there's no such thing as a ceasefire with terrorists and never going to hold. the liberal mind is there's a small guy or oppressed guy and big guy. they always goen oturu side of the little oppressed guy not realizing sometimes they're the evil ones that have done something horrific. you can't always side with them. larry: joe, is the whole media biased against israel? is that the long and short of it? >> we you're a professor and teach a class in media bias, and the first part of your syllabus is october 7 massacre and reporting that it goes on after it and all the exam 38s of the mistakes going in one direction. when that hospital was bombed, about ten days after october 7, then we saw images of a destroyed building that was in another city and the new york times portrays as the hospital bombed when the parking lot was hit instead. when they believed to your point the gaza health ministry and say

500 people are dead and hour after explosion and most of the media outlets said, yep, okay, we believe you. how do you count bodies that quickly. there's no logic being applied here and behinded by the bias we're all just talking about. larry: i had another topic and why it won't maybe we'll do that the next time and democrats banned bidenomics from the lexicon. >> too big a lie for biden. worst since new coke. larry: joe concha and mark simon, very serious topic though today. anyway today folks, coming up here on kudlow, my dear friend art laffer, the best of the best. are we headed for an election year recession? another consequence of bidenomics? we'll ask the great art laffer when kudlow returns.

house and we're asking art laffer, former reagan economist and presidential medal of freedom recipient and i'm glad i can spit that out and art, are we headed for a recession, a lot of nasty signs and index leading indicators and ism manufacturing and a lot of things going wrong. what do you think? >> and prices. we're seeing prices coming down with goods and services and there's a slow down coming somewhere in the world of oil prices coming down and only thing is moving the opposite direction, a little bit is gold and crypto currencies and i think that bodes very well importantly for the economy. larry: why is gold jumping up with inflation. prices are still high compared to three years ago and rate of inflation is easing down. >> some coming down from highs and gold price, i think gold is a harbinger of how far times and maybe mail tear as well and not just the economy gold. gold is a lot more.

larry: escalation in the mideast. >> and what's happening around the world ask ukraine, i don't know how the russians are doing in ukraine but might be doing better. which is really a shame. larry: could be. but the index of leading indicators it's an old fashion down 19 straight months. that's a big number. the curve is inverted and you don't follow the money supply but the fed's balance sheet, the old monetary base that's coming down as well and fundamentals and don't see much reference to it but that's fairly pessimistic. >> it's fairly pessimistic and look at policy mix, larry, just taxes are going up and very sharply, i mean because of price levels rising and it means the capital gains tax rates are much higher and the underdepreciation and tax cuts and jobs act and

expensing there and now it's going down to depressionuation and that really does affect -- depreciation and it's a very negative sign going on. larry: it's interesting you say that because business equipment investment is slowing now. >> of course. larry: that would tie in to that tax rate. arthur, you and i have talked to much in recent years, the gop if it wants to do well and defeat bidenomics and so forth, they've got to talk the language of growth and prosperity and convince the voters they'll be the keepers of prosperity and i don't know. are they getting it done? >> no, the one candidate is and others are not. if you look at debates, you look at what goes on and it should all be about economics and very seriously should be about economics and it's not. they should talk about spending restraint and not just this bill or that bill and not allowing tax increases to occur and the sensation of the tax cuts and

jobs act that expire asks that'll cause a big tax jump. larry: how about spend less, tax less, regulate less and frack more? >> frack more. larry: put frack more. >> not government frack and let them do it on their own. they'll do it on their own and allow the pipelines and all this and there's no reason why we shouldn't be producing. larry: gop has to keep that. >> they don't do that at all and they're passionate about all the other thing things and we need o be passionate about the economy and it's the economy and james carver. larry: impeach less. >> we don't want larry: impeach less and tax less and we'll put impeach. >> that would be perfect. we should pardon everyone and have a free for all. larry: i'm not ready about that. >> i would leave it -- really love to see the president trump not faced with all these trialss and all this. it's just irritating and hunter
