as a very difficult man. he created many troublesome legacies with regard to his antisemitism and his terrible treatment of his son and the lack of of clear succession within ford motor company. but all of that said, he changed the way people travel. he changed the way people live. (awe-inspiring music) he created what we associate most specifically with a modern life. the ability to move around quickly and privately in these things we call automobiles. - [narrator] in the end, henry's deepest dream holds true. his dynasty endures and his family retains control of the company he once created from scratch. larry: hello folks am welcome to kudlow, i'm larry

kudlow, as you know harvard claudine gay resigned as president of ivy league university, somehow still a member of the faculty, and making a salary $900 grand. plagiarism and anti-semitism and dedication to left wim wing social justice remains unsolved. and harvard corporation, the board, they blamed racist i havi havi havi havrally -- for her demise. and they appointed a newburycrattic board. wall street investor bill ackman got it right. he tweeted you shoul should be gone.

here to report li lydia hu. reporter: out of the three university presidents, who testified on capitol hill, about anti-semitism on di december 5, two have resigned, harvard university claudine gay, new york congresswoman stefanik who lead congressional questioning, of the university leaders posted this on x. >> and the silence is deafening m.i.t., not even an apology issued by your school, and zero commitment from your school to combat anti-semitism and protect jewish students, accountability is coming, today, instead of an apology or announcement, m.i.t. president sally announced additions of a new vice president for diversity, equity and inclusion.

and writes: >> meanwhile critics harvard say more needs to be done to correct course with the university after claudine gay statement offered no contrition, writing this: >> harvard corporation board, expressed sorrow to accept gay's resignation, adding this: >> that is why congresswoman step stefanik demanding a review of board's possible involvement or cover-up of gay's alleged plagiarism.

raising questions about how does one change the system, when it keeps the leaders the same. larry: lidia that is the 100% right question thank you. >> joining me now, talk some more about this, we welcome alabama senator tommy tu tuberville, he was head football coach at four different major universities spanning 22 years, we're talking about auburn, ole miss, texas tech and cincinnati. and here is the key, that means, he was a teacher, and a mentor to literally thousands of students. down through the years. and i think that is a very important point nowadays, with this craziness. sep tuberville, happy new year, welcome back, you had long time experiencing, and

major big universities, most bigger than the ivy schools, i think, what do you make of the this whole story as you watch it unfolded? >> well, this is been unfolding for years. one of the reasons that i'm senator, when i retired from coaching, back 6 or 7 years ago, i knew we were having problems in education, but not in the dean or professors or students or some policies, it has been pushed by a lot of administrations, you are seeing it now. in the ivy league, it goes all over the country, it is indoctrination in a lot of different thing that kids are kidding in the wokism, it is about racism. at the end of the day, larry, when i coached i had all kind of kids on my team from all religions, colors and race esdis it did not

make a difference, we should not look at colors it was about being color blind, if we don't start looking through a length of being color blind, no color but look at americans, if we don't do that we're not going to make it. larry: on that point, senator, on that point, the nonapology apologies, harvard for example, claudine gay said, racial animus was the problem. against blaming race. harvard board, whatever, corporation called it racist vitrial that misses the point about anti-semitism and plain plagiarism, and diversity, equity and inclusion are watch words for more rac racism.

and alan dershowitz on last night, this is not the way that world works, you coached thousands of kids, they probably came into our office, thousands of times, talk about stuff, did it fall back to social justice and racism or were they serious about this or let me ask you, maybe you felt pressure at the big universities you worked at? >> no, what happens in sports, the way should be in the nation, it is about merit. i didn't care who played, i was paid to win games, if you are black or white or catholic or protestant or jewish it did not make a difference, we will play the best, people have to understand, that we are the same way as a sports program, u.s., you get what you put into it. same thing in everything whether a business or politics, if you work hard, get more out of it. down wait for someone to give you something. that is what starting to

happen, people are sitting back and wanting something given to them, we had racism here, it has been racism for color, religion, there has been some but racism, is an attitude. that is what is being pushed on american people right now, an attitude of racism to divide us. if we don't understand what is going on, and understand what democratic party is trying to do the country won't make it, we have to stand up for our constitution and ourselves. larry: do you think, last question, as luke at thi look at this, seems that people want harvard to change and m.i.t. to change, upenn but does not seeming they want to change, seems they are hiding behind bureaucracy and bureaucratic

language. claudine gay may be gone, but the next person from the bench may be just as bad or wroarsways and corporation board they are still there. that is debilitating and sad and depressing this is supposed to be a great university, it's not so great, it's not changing, why should it be so great? >> it starts with your leadership, leadership the board of trustees have to hold people accountable, if they don't, like, you know m.i.t., penn, and i could go on and on, with people across the country that are pushing all of the wokism, because i have been there and seen it it all starts with people that put plan together to run the university. how can they make the most money? and so they push this agenda out there. and they are starting to see this might sill better than anything else. so -- sell better, we have

to get control and people have to be held account able it goes all the way to board of trustee members that are pushing this. because, they are the one that goes out and raise money to keep the universities open. larry: that is how i read it too, your record with the colleges is quite remarkable. to some other things. about accountability, joe biden yesterday anowngti announcing they will have more student loan cancellations despite the fact that supreme court already said they don't have the power to do that. it like is there he goes again, breaking the law, senator tub ar tuberville. >> well joe biden could care less about our constitution. he has been breaking the law from day one, you know, he has been spending our taxpayer dollars on abortion and ignoringure immigrati

our immigration laws. he spent over a half trillion dollars on student loan give aways and today he said he will do more, the supreme court said he could not do. we saw obama do it, he did it through a pen and a phone. joe biden is doing the same thing. democrats are not holding him accountable, the voters this fall have to hold joe biden accountable. for how he is breaking law the. larry: including i assume the border! >> if the border -- it is embarrassing it wil will not be fixed, democrats are acting like they are negotiating the witnesses, they are holding american taxpayers pos hot. age, if you don't -- hostage, if down give us that taxpayer, wild not stopping the immigration, not keeping people from

comes across. it is embarrassing what is happening in the clown show in dc . larry: last one. help is on the way, a lot of new endorsement for donald trump. who is the frontrunner, steve scalise, this from house, and majority leader tom i' i'me emmer the whip, seems that entire g.o.p. is getting behind donald trump? >> next 10 months will be interesting, you know we have 18 senators, i was first don't dors presid to endorse president trump, i don't know where the others are, i guess they are waiting for a phone -- >> i guess his satellite went down that is senator tommy tuberville, we appreciate it, he taught at all of the big universities, coaches are teachers, he has been through this you could hear him on the harm of all

of this racism, and social justice nonsense. anyway. still ahead, here on cud loewkudlow we talk with house speaker mike johnson he will join us live from the border in eagle pass, texas, he is camped out with 60 members of congress, i hope they are getting tough on president biden's catastrophic open border. what is it? 300 thousand illegal immigrants, in the month of december. alone. 300 thousand. >> happy new year. 300 thousand. and i love i' immigrant, legal, that is what this country needs we have to stop this devicive racism as senator tuberville said, we heard it from alan decemb dershowitz last night, i'm kudlow, this is the kudlow show. happy new year, we will solve the problems, trust me, we

snoot aplan.. jim. larry: 300 thousand illegals coming across border in a single month of december, so far nothing it has been done. house speaker mike johnson, seeing the border crisis

with his own eyes joining us from eagle pass, texas, mr. speaker we appreciate it very much, hear sound from karine jean-pierre. it makes no sense at all if there is to be a deal. >> to get work done at border we need more resources, dhs needs more resources or border patrol agents need more resources we need more immigration judges, we need more resources to get it done, house republicans get in the way of doing work to deal with what we're seeing at border, they are obstructing. that is what they are doing right now. larry: mr. speaker, that is a very hostile aggressive response to what is going on. i want to get your thoughts on that. and you know, what is actually happening. >> what she said is absurd, of course, they want more money to process illegal into the country, larry, we're on the border here at

eagle pass, the epicenter of the problem with 64 members of congress representing 29 states, and one u.s. territory people from california, to maryland from michigan to florida, every state in america is' border state right now, this administration opened that border ride -- wide we have team coming from 170 countries this is epidemic crisis pro portions,. jim: speaker johnson, has president biden gotten involved in any talks with you, for example, or any of your lieutenants, to solve this open border catastrophe? >> no, this is intentional, these are policy choices that got us in this situation, we passed hr2 seven months ago. it would restore the remain

in mexico policy that worked so well under trump administration, in catch and release, and rebuild the wall, finish building the border wall and it would do things we know can be done, president does not need new federal laws, he needs to enforce the laws on the books, he could do it by executive order but he refuses, if we would make the simple changes we could solve this problem but right now it is out of control. >> is option, fall back position we'll have 300 thousands people in january come across illegally? or more? they know that door is open. they listen to what president biden says. which is, as you described it, an open border policy. a catch and release? how much of this can we accommodate? >> we can't. we're overrun. south texas, can not handle what is happening, neither

can the rest of the country, looking at border patrol numbers ever estimated 7 million people have been encounter at border, at least 2.1 million got aways, those that we know bwe have over 300 known terrorists apprehended at border, we have no idea how many evaded capture. sitting up terrorist criminals and fentanyl the leading cause of deaths, the biden administration has lost track of nearly 100 thousand minors who came across, they are lost in the system, this is madness, trafficking is number one, of the cartelsest and mat estimated here, cartels make 32 million a month in trafficking humans, that is over a billion and a half dollars a year and biden administration does nothing to stop it. larry: former trump said, he

said, there has to be a deportation policy. it is not only closing the border, remain in mexico, building the wall, but a deportation policy, it was done years ago, during the eisenhower period we cannot accommodate what is happening with drugs as you pointed out and the illegals, and law break anything whatnot, cartel, so. would you back a deportation policy? >> we -- desperate times call for desperate measures, problem is the longer the fix is delayed the worse the problem gets and harder for us to detect where the people are, they are lost in the system, given immigration hearings to appear for, 4 years down the road, this is not sustainable. how do we collect them all to deport them.

remember, billions of taxpayer dollars, u.s., are funded for housing and healthcare and all of other benefits that education, given to illegals. the facilities here are great, many communities in american would love have to the benefit of, they have a great education hire, we have sent that message that everyone should come here. larry: no money for ukraine? or israel. no money are in taiwan. and no fix for the border, highway does this get resolved? >> well, we're thinking that white house has to come to its senses, they are getting pressure from even democrats, mayors of big sanctuary cities and blue states crying out for help, they know this is not sustainable, they are draining their resources, we

have colleagues on other aisle that understand that say crisis, i am optimistic and hopeful they will listen to american people and make necessary changes, and i hope senate will do the right thing to fix the problem and we'll keep demanding it and push it as a condition of supplement at spending packages, we have to. larry: respectfully, you will be tough, you will remain tough. hr2 is a great bill, it employees many of the strategies that mr. trump had. but purting it aside, you will stay tough that your message? >> that is the message, we have to secures border before we could take charactcare of anything else, national security sovereignty of our nation is most important, we talk about it, we have to limit the discretionary spending, nondefense items, as you know, we passed 34 trillion

in debt today this is serious. larry: mr. speaker, mike johnson we appreciate your time, good luck down there at border and in numbe negotiating and happy new year, sir. >> thank you, larry. larry: all right, coming up. donald trump now leading joe biden among hispanics, young voters and closing the gap between black voters, a new poll. iowa is 12 days, away, 8 days latera new hampshire on sit we have deroy murdock and joe concha, they will give us lowdown on why joe biden woke fringe democrats are in a heap of trouble. we're optimistic it is new years, change is coming, help is on the way.

larry: we are going to

iowa. but before we do. we have to talk with great edward lawrence who has a few thoughts on america's finance, don't like that great edward. reporter: they are upside down, and i don't have to tell you, that we passed 34 trillion dollar federal debt mark. this happened because tax revenue coming i in has been softer over past 3 years and the spending under this president has increased. >> we're swimming upstream. we have growth in social security, medicare and re medicaid and run away spending we have been adding 10 billion a day to debt over last 3 months. reporter: committee for responsible federal budget said there needs to be a combination o spending cuts and tax decreases, right leaning american act said regulation from president

biden added about 745 million in cost to companies, and manufacturers is a cost proregulation could be high as 3 trillion or 12% of gdp, it boils down to money, through supplement aal unal function -- funds the president wants to add money. >> the president still have confidence that vice president can get to root cause of migration to stop the flow. >> presidencies the vice president as a partner, she is a partner with him on all of the successes that we've seen and been able to do first term in this administration, first 3 years of this administration, he has all confidence in her, and will continue to do so, he has confidence in the vice president. >> go ahead.

reporter: republicans, from your interview with house speaker say, it is president biden's policy that cause this on the border. larry: edward, i'm watching those questions, and owmp. ouch, you are the best in the business thank you. >> thank you. larry: now, switch politics. 12 days away from iowa caucus then 8 days after that new hampshire, right here we have deroy murdock. and a fox news contributor. and contributor at the daily caller we have joe concha, media and politics columnist, and a fox news contributor, welcome. back, maybe this is a reach. donald trump wants to label joe biden and the democrats as fringe party. extremists, i wonders deroy, this harvard fiasco, okay, the dei fiasco, plagiarism

and blaming racism, how does this play into these primaries, caucuses and elections. >> i would say indirectly it under scores idea we're not dealing with the hubert humphrey democrats or even bill clinton democrats, i dare say joe biden looks like barack obama look like gerald ford that is how far left he has gotten, not just spend money on poor, but you can't have a gas stove and everything is racist, and all of endless clash and harvard situation plays into that, this is in back ground, it reminding people that democrat left is not your father's or mother's democratic party any more. larry: joe concha, they are dei democrats, they are stuck with that. st is it is indirect with

claudine gay and harvard but it is not indirect, there is the whole problem, wrecking a great university because of the social justice woke dei crap. >> almost every elite school, they had the caught and paste president in claudine gay, she still keeps her job as a profess or, s professor, she earned 900 thousand. larry: it could be tax free. >> you think? larry: i would like to check. >> certainly tax subsidized. we put a lot of money to har for research. larry: i am -- i am like a dog biting at your ankles. i think that donald trump will make big hey o bigg hay, out of this, dei democrats the country is sick of this. who brought them down?

who kept trump off ballot or disqualifying? biden talks abou democracy, how democratic is that? is the white house calling stops to dummy states. >> one thing leading to another, fringe, crazy, 48, woke, woke. >> dem kratd -- you kno democrat. >> you know trump gets up -- joe biden will give a speech this is crazy, stop, i want to run against donald j. trump and beat him, keep him on ballot, he could give a speech. but, same people yelling about democracy, are saying, democracy means you can't vote for against donald trump so yank him off of the ballot, that is democrats. >> has to be a two part message, dee democrats yes, but what you are offering as republican nominee, and that is common sense

conservatism, common sense is trillion, we're so much in debt, we have a wide open border, 300 thousand people coming in december. we don't know how much or terror watch list and crime in cities driving people out of san francisco and chicago and -- we have education scores at 30-year low, i could go on, but just make a common sense argument. larry: 3 trillion in new regulations, most of which affects small business, it was the engine of growth, you are right, common sense, but that is why he is ahead. where is nikki haley? o this? where is she on the border? there is a thing up, where is she is fiscal policy in south carolina. every is reporting this now, i'm repeating that reporting, she raised gasoline tax and raised sailings ta sales tax that hurts lower and middle

income people the most, where she on border and claudine gay, has he said a word about claudine gay. >> i don't remember we're saying anything about that i may have missed it. larry: i may have. >> most issues my guess she is in right place, what i think people am out of next president who know who is tough enough to stand up to the dei democrats they are ferocious people, nikki haley might be good on issues but not tough enough. larry: i have a phrase, trump tough. >> trump tough. >> that is it. >> you talk about border and about spending and taxing and regulating and drill, baby, drill, and iran. okay. i say, trump testify. joe biden is a weakling, beside dee democrats that, joe concha i know there is no perfection in political candidates, i get, that i'm saying trump tough likes

countr wants a tough grandfather or a father like right the ship. stop all this other craziness. >> and get to work by the way. larry: yeah. >> joe biden took 140 days of vacation, where he was in places that were nice, average american gets 14 day a year, 10 times as much how does that look when joe biden is 86. larry: very important point. >> hammer home that work ethic if you are trump. larry: ron desantis is a conservative. nikki haley is more moderate. i don't top attack them. -- i dpoint wa don't want to attack them, they missed a lot of opportunities to message, i think that donald trump is probably the best communicate or since ronald reagan, and you know you may not like his bluntness, but he makes his point. >> you know where he is

coming from, he does not keep them to system level, he will tell -- had too himself, we will tell. where is the surprise,? he said it on speeches and on twitter here, is good at saying here is what i believe. >> defense of desantis and haley, all interviews they too 60% is about donald trump, half of the time do you support him being off ballot then they have to fend him, and you are don with the interview -- by waited what do you stand for. >> are right. i am for trump no secret not against nikki haleye or ron desantis, they are good republicans but i don't think they seizes moment, joe concha from mes messenger, this poll that was taken. trump now winning young voters, ahead in hispanics, and gapin gaining on

blacks, this looks like coalitions is vu crumbling for joe biden. >> the margins are gone, then some, he loses those 3 states he will lose presidency, we're not even taking about michigan wherely is town 10 or pennsylvania or nevada. i don't see how he is reelected again, unless something changes this year. >> surprise. >> polls not votes, deroy, last one, trump say he will go into new york, new jersey, virn virginia, new mexico, he wants to broaden the whole scope of the republican coalition. >> that is good. i think he should go to -- speaking to black audiences in new jersey or new york or pennsylvania. >>b why his ideas of good. >> fantastic, he should go

to synagogues in michigan and wisconsin, here is why do i so good, and i did good for israel. the democrats make life miserable for israel. >> ran o >> deroy murdock and joe concha two of the best. >> happy new year. larry: coming up on kudlow, a massive explosion at the aircrathe iranian military big is o shot, soleimani me memorial funeral, i don't know what happened, trump show the him down 3 or 4 years ago whole thing blew up today. we get a live report from trey. and china's xi told president biden that the complete reunification of the mother land is ang is

ange is an. >> trend, talking about taiwan, i am kudlow, happy new year. this thing, it's making me get an ice bath again. what do you mean? these straps are mind-blowing! they collect hundreds of data points like hrv and rem sleep, so you know all you need for recovery. and you are? i'm an investor...in invesco qqq, a fund that gives me access to... nasdaq 100 innovations like... wearable training optimization tech. uh, how long are you... i'm done. i'm okay.

larry: so, donald trump took

out qassam soleimani 3 years ago, he wassed head of iranian revolutionary guard and mastermind of ira iranian terrorism, there was a memorial funeral for him, yeyesterday or the day before, it blew up, hundreds killed or injuries, we go do trey yingst in tel aviv. what diso you ma do you make of this? reporter: good afternoon we're following this out of southeast iran. twin explosions rocked the city of killing at least a hundred people, the blast took place at a ceremony to commemorate 4 year anniversary of death of

general soleimani, gathers next to funeral location, where he is buried officials calling this a terrorism attack. but stopping short of blaming anyone or a specific country, developments out of iran come as israel braces for possibility of a retaliatory attack after a separate drone strike yesterday in beirut killed hahamas deputy chairman al-arouri that would strike damage to a building and a car, and reports that 6 other hamas members were killed, today leader of hamas made his statement, cullincalls his deputy a martyr. overnight there was new rocket fire from lebanon but we have not seen a large scale response still, israel remains on high alert. >> idf is at a high level of

readiness, in defense and offense. we are in a high state of readiness. reporter: development on israel northern border come as operation continue in gaza israeli forces said they took out a militant who tried to plant an explosive devita device on a tank. and the vibe here in tel aviv is tense. we were on the ground in baghdad after the date of soleimani, there was an -- understanding there would be a response, it could follow that drone strike yesterday against that senior hamas official in le lebanon. larry: can i ask, who was behind the blow up in iran at soleimani's funeral, is this a popular front -- other terrorists, does

anyone know? >> a great question, and initially when world saw the development, everyone looked to israel. thinking amid regional tension but likely isis or isis off chute in iran. iranians dealt with terrorism this is a symbolic day, likely a day a group like isis would choose to attack. >> trey yingst be safe. >> switch gears a little bit. china's xi jinping told president biden at their last meeting, quote reunification of the mother land is a irresistible trend. no one better to talk about it gordon chang. author of china is going to war. you know, took a while for this to come out. i guess biden tried to hide it or antony blinken his secretary of state.

that is a serious promise that xi jinping made in middle of the other i'll say chaotic foreign policy developments. >> that is right. we didn't hear anything from the president of the united states after that november 15 meeting. we did hear from xi jinping is december 31, his new year's message, he said in a paragraph, listing things that would happen in 2024, he said, taiwan will be reunified with china. twi2024 even if he is bluffing he is creating markers by which his enemies will judge him, he is talking china into war. larry: gordon. >> this year. happy new year. >> happy new year. larry: we're going nothing to help taiwan. because of the border problem, and we have to stop the border. but the rest of it, joe biden is blocking every single thing because of his stubbornness about open

borders and illegal immigrants, xi jinping is watching, one thing. xi jinping and biden talked, what never came out, xi jinping, china, through its purchases of russian oil and iranian oil, follow me, he is financing two wars against the united states that never came out either. >> china is already at war with the world. because they did green light the invasion of ukraine, and financed it, you know with iran, if you look at first 9 months of 2023, china's purchases of iranian oil 60% above comparable period in 2017, this is important because in 2018 drin trump administration resanctioned purchases of oil, china is supplying money and the weapons to hamas, hezbollah and houthi militia. larry: and last point, i'll make, the defense department

seemed toment to hide the issue -- want to hide issue of china spy balloon, we have learned that it was a spy balloon, but it was sending intelligence back to beijing. >> mark milley, told cbs news, now intelligence was gathered by that balloon. he knew that it did. he lied to american people, that is not only pro-china thing that milley did, we need to investigate. larry: i think we need a tough on china policy, really tough. we'll talk some more about that gordon chang thank you so much. >> folks stick with me, i'll be right back with my last word, someone has to get tough on china, gordon is right, 100%. before you use ai to transform business, accelerate growth, predict trends,
