as usual "the new york times" got it completely wrong talking about donald trump's inflation which by the way was, get this, 1.6% at an annual rate on average over his entire first term, 1.6. anyway our own sandra smith and steve forbes will set the record straight. house oversight chair james comer will be here to unveil a new subpoena for ag merrick garland regarding joe biden's illegal classified documents. senator mike lee is coming around. he will talk about joe biden's lawless student loans. why is wendy's jacking up their hamburger prices? finally is mitch mcconnell about to endorse donald trump? how about those apples? and then mark simone and jason chaffetz will weigh in. later in the show, why is joe biden betraying our great ally israel? former idf special-ops aaron cohen will opine on this and other matters. first up let's go to our own edward lawrence, the best of the

best. there he is in washington swimming as best as he possibly can. edward, what is cooking there today? >> reporter: sinking in the swamp, larry. the president is feel be pressure over the economy. he is feeling pressure over ukraine funding. the president is feeling pressure on wave of migrants crossing the southern border. today congressional leadership met with the president in the oval office. the president wanted to talk about ukraine. the house speaker pressed the president over border funding. listen. >> we're hearing from the american people of all parties and all persuasions in all cities, in all states who feel this acutely. they understand the catastrophe at the border is affecting everyone and it is top of mind for all the american people for that reason. so i brought that issue up repeatedly today in that room and again, one-on-one with the president. i think that's our responsibility to bring that up. >> reporter: so the white house applying its own pressure, blaming losses in battlefield in

ukraine on republicans. >> we're already in some ways too late. they lost the town of efdika, literally because of ammunition. so in some ways it's already having a tramatic effect on the battlefield. >> reporter: speaker saying america's needs must come first. other republicans saying president biden has had three years to fix the situation at the border that he broke through unwinding the former president's policies and all of this is wrapped into a deadline for a partial government shut down on friday. here's the president. president biden: i think that congress's responsibility to fund the government. we have -- shut down would damage the economy significantly. i think we all agree to that. we need a bipartisan solution. >> reporter: the house minority leader today out in front of the west wing said he could see a continuing resolution, to push this down the road to give more time for negotiations. back to you, larry.

larry: edward, just a quick question, on the the on border issue which has not yet been resolved, if i understand the four corners of the leadership wound up talking about the border even though we thought they were going to talk about continuing resolution or a government shutdown. is there any hint, is the white house leaking, putting out anything about the border story? >> reporter: no. in fact this meeting was not going to be aboutrd bother. this meeting was about avoiding a shutdown as well as ukraine funding. it turned into a border because you saw the house speaker say he brought it up several times. no, there is nothing out of this white house there would be any change on border policies or anything that the president is going to do. we have heard he is considering executive action of some sort on the border, possibly limiting people coming across illegally cannot apply for asylum which sounds familiar for those who were in the trump administration. nothing has been decided and nothing is happening yet.

larry: edward lawrence best of the best, thank you ever so much. "the new york times" writes a piece trump and inflation. the gist of it trump policies will push prices higher. the trouble is there was no inflation numbers in the entire piece, nothing, no numbers. let me help them. over the four years of president trump's first term the consumer price index averaged, are you ready for this? 1.89%% at an annual rate less than fed's target of 2%. wait, the fed likes to target something called the personal consumption deflator, pce, that came under mr. trump, 1.6% at annual rate. if trump policies held down inflation below the fed's target in the first term, he pursueses similar policies to rejuve senate the economy in the second term, somebody tell me why there

is higher inflation? wait a minute, isn't joe biden had the inflation problem? that never entered into "the new york times" story. biden-flation measured by the cpi, 6% at annual rate over his three years. the level of the consumer price index jumped 18%. of course individual prices like groceries up 20, gasoline up 25, all that continues to plague middle class working folks today. even though the overall inflation rate eased down from 9%, prices are still rather high. we'll talk about wendy's in a moment. during president trump's term consumer prices over the entire four year period increased only 7%. "the new york times" is on pretty shaky ground for all of this. here is another point, drill, baby, drill. the average oil price during mr. trump's term was $53 a barrel. under mr. biden it has been

nearly $80 a barrel. responding to high oil prices, mainly resulting from biden's war against fossil fuel, oil production recently, has finally gotten back to 13 million barrels a day, which was the pre-pandemic peak under mr. trump. but without the socialist green new deal and all kinds of limits on leasing and drilling oil production should have gone up to at least 15 million barrels a day but the point here is that trump unlocking the oil spigots which he will resume in a second term kept energy prices historically low. these low energy prices permeate the entire economy. in other words, "new york times," counter inflation. then there were trump supply-side tax cuts for individuals, corporations, and small businesses. those are inherently counter inflationary by providing new investment incentives to produce. the increase in capital investment and productivity which is output per hour that

generated higher real wages for the whole workforce but at the same time held down prices. trump will likely extend and even expand his successful pro-growth tax cut policy in a second term. then there was the trumpian deregulation. for example, between 2017 and 2019, the trump administration cut nearly eight regulations for every new significant reg. slashing costly and burdensome red tape helped unleash entrepreneurial production and new business formations. that's countier inflationary, another supply side triumph. even mr. trump es push for tough fair trade deals including increase on tariffs in china had virtually no inflationary impact. despite all the screaming from conventional economists the reality is the chinese companies had to cut their margins in order to swallow tariff penalties on their unfair

trading practices. you know what? other trading deals like usmca and japan and south korea they actually lowered tariffs for the most part. trump's trade defense of american workers did not lead to higher inflation as so many people guessed wrong. finally look for a second trump administration to be much tougher on federal spending. after watching joe biden's six trillion dollar assault, that is heading for $50 trillion in marketable federal debt. also get ready, the trump administration is likely to push for executive budget impoundment authority, another weapon to cut spending. but "the new york times" never seems to understand, is that supply side policies that enhance production and investment along with a shrinking role for government is inherently counter inflationary. and as far as mr. trump is concerned, he did it once, he is raring to do it again.

all right. that's my riff. i try to be helpful to "the new york times" whenever i possibly can. let's turn to our distinguished guests. we have sandra smith, co-host of "america reports," steve forbes, forbes media chairman and editor-in-chief, author of inflation, what it is, why it is bad and how to fix it. kids welcome to you. >> i came for the show. that was therapeutic. larry: you were the one that sent me "the times" story this morning. maybe i should read "the times" more often, maybe not. the reality it annoyed me. they didn't put any numbers in. if trauma had such -- his inflation rate 1.6% for the whole four year period. here is biden in-flation, you can't go to wendy's or mcdonald's the price of hamburger jacked up. i don't know why the reporter didn't put any numbers in. >> i hope you're not hungry noon

to 2:00. you might want to change your lunch hour to 2:00. i think that is fascinating story though. "new york post" put it on their cover today. larry: the wendy's, the wendy's story. >> that is interesting. that is businesses having to deal with incredibly uncertain environment. what's the worst thing for business? uncertainty, right? this is what we're living under under this administration. larry, you're the one who is kind of saying the economy is not so bad but i'm looking right now the average american family is spending the largest chunk of their disposable income on food whether in a restaurant or the grocery store in over 30 years. it is a great economy if you're not buying a car, selling a house or going grocery shopping or eating out at restaurants. those high prices are here to stay. larry: yeah. >> when you dig through "the new york times" article the white house is not primarily responsible for controlling inflation. no, they're responsible for running inflation up to levels that this country has never seen. those prices are not come down. so if you want to know why

people are still so sour on the economy, when there are metrics pointing to some positive developments, it is because people just aren't taking home as much cash. larry: i'm saying look, gdp is strong. it is being driven a lot by government but people can't afford to live in the biden economy. that's a problem. gdp numbers are coming in strong. tremendous consumer stimulus from government spending but what you say all the things you say are right. that is law. wages are falling. that is the a kill lies heel. >> stock market priced in dollars. if the 401(k) is going up, that dollar is not going far. larry: steve forbes, why are tax cuts and deregulation are causing higher inflation? if trump wins i would expect to see him, he said this a million times he will make the tax cuts permanent, maybe build on the tax cuts, he will continue deregulation, how can drill, baby, drill put more oil in play

be more inflationary? that is the part about the "new york times" i didn't understand. the same policies, how will that raise inflation? the guy didn't have any inflation in his term? >> it raises inflation because trump would be president. anything he does is bad. larry: oh, all right. is bad. >> we'll have plagues, parra sights, eagles all over the place. the fact of the matter you hit it in your introduction, the fact of the matter if you have a stable dollar, you used to call king dollar, if you have lower taxes, price on tax rates, price on productive work, risk-taking an success you lower that burden guess what happens? the economy prospers. one of the thing that is killing the economy today with this modern socialism is the unending avalanche of new regulations. larry: right. >> particulates and the like, where did they ever get the congressional approval to ban the internal combustion engine? they didn't. they're doing it anyway. everything that makes life good

they're against. larry: remember what you said couple years ago with biden, regulatory inflation. >> modern socialism. larry: very important, you don't have to buy the steel mills. you're doing it through government regulations. that is what "the new york times" and so many people do not understand that. you nailed this actually probably three years ago and i want to add one other thing, trump, trump was always keen, this is something people didn't understand, he wants the dollar to remain the world's reserve currency. he looks at that in terms of making america great. he doesn't want, people are saying trump wants a low dollar. we never had that problem with him. i know he was critical of the fed the fact remains he wanted the dollar. he will go back to deregulation, he will go back to drill, baby, drill, he will go back back to the tax cuts how will that be inflationary? sandra smith, how will that be inflationary? >> "the new york times" ignores the trump pitch to address regulations to deregulate.

larry: right. >> brings it up in one of final paragraphs. one place where trump could reduce inflation, deregulation a few republican economists tell the writer of the piece. businesses facing less red tape might pass cost savings along to consumers. larry: there you go. >> that is someone who needs economics 101 class. larry: that will be passed. what is favorite thing in wendy's menu? when up there yesterday, how was the congestion pricing. >> i hear they have good chilly, i hear. larry: it wouldn't occur to me to buy chilly. someone is saying it is good in my ear -- chili. >> i will plead the fifth amendment on eating at wendy's. larry: i know we're running out of time. play rich lowery's quote from yesterday's show, editor-in-chief off

"national review." is it true you were sighted at mcdonald's weekend. your cash wad was blown. >> two fries and large shakes, $17. first time everybody in my life i went to mcdonald's, felt. larry: how come that is not in "the new york times" story? you know what that is called? can i help you? biden-flation. >> i was shocked in the wendy's article a dave's single, is that a burger? $5.99. here in times square, $8.19. who is paying $10 for a burger from wendy's? >> where modern socialism where it will take a toll. california raising minimum wage to restaurant workers to $22. what do you think that will do for food for people that can't afford fancy restaurants? it will raise their cost of

living. larry: david malpass is sitting right where sandra is sitting 10 days ago said exactly same thing. the bidens are spending too much but the regulatory inflation is massive. among other things, it stops the flow of goods production, so you have too much money chasing too few goods. the gdp is strong, but inflation continues. you can't afford to live in the biden economy. >> it will be interesting where gas prices are on memorial day. >> the slogan should be bring back the dishwasher, remember when they washed dishes? larry: bring back wooden stove. i don't eat much pizza. >> just salad. larry: you can watch sandra every day with co-host john roberts on "america reports," wednesday, no, weekdays at 1:00 p.m. eastern. i also made the cut today but i lost out to fani willis. coming up here on "kudlow," tonight, house oversight chairs james comer will be right here on set.

regarding joe biden's illegal classified documents. he shares that with judiciary chair jim jordan. here he is right on set. mr. chairman, thank you for this. just walk -- you are want to know, for the robert hur investigation, i make sure we lay this out for our viewers, what the documents were. you're interested in whether there were video interviews as well. can you tell us a little bit about this? >> we want to see the transcripts for the robert hur interview with joe biden because we have questions about joe biden's mishandling of classified documents. we've been very transparent in public about our concerns, about the documents. we have some emails from hunter biden to various people around the globe that he was receiving money from in these emails are attachments that appear to be government documents. we want to know were those part of the classified documents that were mishandled by joe biden? in the hur report they listed

the countries were involved and some are countries where bidens received millions of dollars. larry: china? >> ukraine, russia, some of those places were in there, china. so we want to know exactly, which documents they were and we also want to know if robert hur asked certain questions about hunter biden. we know from a transcribed interview we did months and months ago with kathy chung she testified in joe biden's mishandling of classified documents versus media reports about robert hur's interview with joe biden. we just want to put everything together to make sure it is honest. look everybody has been on me in the media about releasing transcripts every time we have a deposition. normally in a major investigation you don't release the transcripts until you depose everyone. media every day when will you release the transcripts.

we asked for transcripts on joe biden they're silent. they don't care about transcripts, someplace robert hur had to ask joe biden why he thought, he, biden thought, it was legal for a senator or a vice president to take these classified documents away. they are supposed to go into the national archives under the president's record act. everybody knows it. whether he has a faulty memory or not, he broke the law. it has got to be in there. hur must have asked biden what were you doing as an ex-senator taking stuff away, don't you think? >> you would think. larry: really? >> you would think. we don't know exactly what hur asked. we need to know. we need to know because a central theme in the biden influence peddling investigation has, is the fact that the biden family specifically, the son and the brother, of the president of the united states were selling access to joe biden and one of these emails was it todayed at the time when hunter biden was trying to prove his worth to a

certain foreign national after joe biden left the presidency. we know that hunter biden was receiving a huge salary from a ukrainian business. when, the day joe biden left offers, they cut his salary in half. so the email wint out at a time he was trying to prove his worth and that's what the biden brandied. that's what we learned in all of our interviews and depositions. anytime they were pitching themselves to a foreign government or foreign national, they put joe on the phone. see, we're close with joe. larry: do you think robert hur asked joe biden who else saw these classified documents? for example, i'm going to pick a name randomly, hunter biden? do you think hunter biden wandered into the garage or the corvette or whatever with these classified documents strewn about? there were no secret service agents like there were at mar-a-lago. looked at them, maybe communicated something from them to his clients in china and in ukraine and kazakhstan and god knows where else, do you ever

think he did that? >> if robert hur did not ask that question, that is malpractice. larry: there you go. >> because the documents joe biden mishandled are in at least four different locations. how did they get in for different locations? larry: yeah. >> one of the locations hunter biden lived there for two years because a lot of addresses from some wires for china were sent to jeep -- joe biden's house because that's where hunter biden was living. larry: one last one. the fbi and justice department are locking up this gucci november, one of the their top most respected informants, i guess not. they're saying mr. biden, president biden is saying your investigation is now over because this guy smirnoff is no good. i wanted to give you a chance to respond to that? >> that is not true. smirnoff was a tip we received from chuck grassley. we investigated the tip. we couldn't confirm the tip was accurate because we didn't know who the informant was.

we knew what christopher way said he was most trusted informant worked for the bureau, for 10 years. most the people involved in that allegation were in ukraine. i can't go to ukraine. i can't send my staff. it has nothing to do, this has nothing to do with the tens of millions of dollars the bidens took from china, romania, from russia. so this -- larry: each family member had their even little llc company. >> 20 plus llcs, 170 suspicious activity reports, 10 of millions of dollars of foreign nationals they can't explain one thing they did to receive the money. that is what investigation is about. the investigation is interviewing all former biden associates. they say they were selling access to joe and joe was a willing participant that. is what the investigation is over. this fbi informant was not a part of the investigation, something we looked into but we couldn't verify because we didn't know who he was. larry: i must have asked you that half a dozen times over the last year and you always said

that. so the investigation continues that is the bottom line? >> the investigation continues. tomorrow we depose hunter biden. we'll have the big public hearing that hunter biden claims he desperately wants to have, we'll go from there. we want to issue a report, tell the american people the truth and hold people accountable for wrongdoing. larry: oversight chair james comer. thank you, sir, we appreciate it. thanks for coming back on set. folks coming up next, senator mike lee will talk about biden's lawless student loans and a few other things. then later on, the rumor out there, mitch mcconnell ready to endorse donald trump. this is a believe it or not. we have mark simone and jason chaffetz to weigh in. i'm kudlow. the investigations continue as must. things will go wrong for your customers. but your business can make it right,

♪. president biden: tens of millions of people in debt literally about to be canceled

their debts but my maga republican friends in the congress, special interests and stepped in and sued us, supreme court blocked it, blocked it. but that didn't stop me. larry: supreme court blocked it but that didn't stop me. i don't know what biden doesn't understand about legal or the supreme court. joining us now maybe to help us out, utah senator mike lee. senator lee, welcome back to the show, can you just explain to me, this is a direct quote, he is out in california raising money, the supreme court blocked it but that didn't stop me. talking about student loans, huh? does the supreme court stop you or the law stop me? i don't get it. you got to help me, sir. >> larry that statement might have been more accurate had he said the law prohibited it and the supreme court acknowledged that the law didn't allow him to do what he did. that's what he is papering over. he is also papering over the fact once that happened he then came up with another also really sketchy basis for just changing

an entire government program. keep in mind, this isn't just about forgiving a few loans. what he is saying basically is that he is going to make other taxpayers pay for everybody else's higher education debts without congress making that decision. now if we decided in this country to socialize the cost of higher education, to give everyone a free higher education experience paid for by u.s. taxpayer dollars, that would be one thing. we're not in that universe and so he can't just utilize his vast powers as president of the united states to decree this. this is taking money away from the american people at a time when they can't afford it. at a time when the average american household is havingo shell out an additional thousand dollars every single month, month after month, just to live, put a roof over their heads, groceries on the table, gas in the car, and he is making it worse by doing things like this that he is not even authorized

to do by law. larry: let me go to somewhat different subject but still on the generic issue of breaking the law, senator lee. we know the president has plenty of executive authority. he took away the trump policies of "remain in mexico" and title 42 and other things. he could put it back but we also know, in fact we heard this from vivek ramaswamy last night, we know that the president or any executive has a decision to deport, right, to deport criminals, for example? we even have the mayor of new york, eric adams now, who is saying maybe we shouldn't have sanctuary city, at least for convicted felons. you're a lawyer. what, do we have, does the united states have, does the president have the authority to deport criminals or to deport illegals? is it already on the books? >> larry, not only does he have that authority, he has that obligation, that duty. it requires us to deport people who have violated our laws, who

are for one reason or another are not suited for being in the united states, who came here illegally, especially if they have got some aggravating circumstances, like a felony conviction or something like that. once they're ordered deported they need to actually be deported. it is not just a right, not just an authority, that is an obligation. when he fails to carry that out, how we end up with this mess, in a circumstance we have murders being committed. the tragic murder of the bright young nursing student at university of georgia. recently we learned about a shooting by an individual against police in washington, d.c., who had an active, valid order of deportation. it just wasn't being implemented. when they choose not to enforce the law over and over again. they are violating the law, allowing the law to be circumvented, and enriching the international drug cartels to the tune of 10 of billions of

dollars every year, flooding our country not only with 10 million illegal aliens but enough fentanyl every year that does in fact kill 110,000 americans. if administered in the right doses would be enough to kill every single american. larry: okay. of course i agree with you, i guess what i'm asking is, can you, or maybe you have and other conservatives in the senate actually stepped up and put out there a deportation bill or, let's just say a resolution that includes current law on deportation? because president trump will go over there, you know that, he should go there, you know that too. that is what you're telling me today. no one wants to talk about thatting particularly trump is dead right particularly with the horror shows of this beautiful younger woman is killed. >> larry -- larry: we'll have to deport a lot of the eight million illegals that come across.

i will give you the last word on this, senator lee. but i'm waiting for senators to step up, the good senators, the conservative senators. maybe it is in the form of a resolution and make this point, underscore trump's point about deportation? >> look, we had an opportunity couple weeks ago. unfortunately it was squandered with the ukraine bill. it was squandered because 17 republicans decided to bring debate to close on the ukraine bill without any effective border enforcement mechanism in there. we have an opportunity this week with a spending bill being teed up. we haven't seen it. it is brought forward, considered a must pass vehicle they say. we could insist right here, right now in order for us to pass this measure we're going to demand that they pass hr.2, the border enforcement mechanism passed by the house. we should do that. larry: right. >> if we don't do that we're allowing this thing to be perpetuated. even thousand the president has this authority hr.2 would give

additional tools to make it even harder for the president to allow this to go on. >> thank you, senator mike lee. appreciate your time. >> thank you. larry: folks switching gears right here on the fly we'll ask is mitch mcconnell, mitch mcconnell ready to endorse donald trump? that is my favorite rumor of the day. we'll talk to mark simone, wor radio show host, jason chaffetz, former utah congressman, fox news contributor, author of "the puppeteers," the people who control, who control america. mr. chaffetz was once upon a time chair of the house oversight committee. so lots of rumors that mitch's guy and trump's guy are talking and we'll get endorsement by mitch mcconnell, what do you think? >> i think it is good news. larry: do you think it is plausible? >> i think it is necessary. the fact there was not an endorsement caused a riff. will mitch mcconnell push donald trump over the top you about it will show unity. that messaging coming from the majority, minority leader i

think it is a important one. he is no fan of donald trump's. the fact he is getting behind the party to defeat joe biden is a good thing. larry: he will do it. i believe he will do it. he is an old veteran and will do it for the sake and wants to win the senate. might win the senate. >> yeah. larry: liberal, larry hogue span is a liberal republican in maryland on most issues. >> need his vote. larry: you will take the committee chairman. mark simone, i had a question for you, how many people watched seth meyer and how many people watch the super bowl and why did joe biden decide to go to seth meyer? by the way he blocked traffic here across the street which annoyed me but that is secondary. >> he has the dumbest communications department in the world. they turned down the last place remaining on earth where you can reach 120 million people super bowl. larry: 120 million people. >> seth myers on a good night, 700,000 people. i think thought it was younger voter.

the average age of seth meyer viewer is 59 years old. it is not a younger audience. i happened to be there in rockefeller center for another event, i negative seen this with another american president, there was no crowd waiting for him. announced earlier in the day on the news there would be hundreds and hundreds of people lined up to see him. larry: where was he having the ice cream cone? >> it is von luwen's ice cream. riley cool, hip, he didn't know what he was ordering. larry: you would rather do that than virtual have 120 million people watching. what does that tell you. >> when he made the come ment about israeli negotiations, when you want to impress world leaders don't hold a ice cream cone in your hand like an 8-year-old. >> who orders a ice cream cone in february in new york? larry: whoever goes to wendy's for con guess shun pricing. >> looking like he was getting more done in one hour. larry: jason, michigan primary

tonight. not a lot of discussion about it but there is a whole group of progress serves, arab-americanss, what is her name, talib? >> rashida talib. larry: they want to vote for uncommitted, not for joe biden, which could embarass joe biden quite a bit. what do you make of that? >> i think that is where a lot of democrats are. they are uncommitted he will be their leader too put them over the top in the november. i think michigan is really in play in donald trump's favor. i think the union workers understand that joe biden is trying to shut down the combustible engine and wants to put them out of work. i think donald trump is going to thrive in michigan which could probably be in the democratic camp no longer. i think trump will actually win michigan because they have got that many problems. larry: he hasn't been there much. that is sort of interesting. i bet he gets a good turnout. you have this phenomenon, we talked a little bit about it

last night, the realignment there, is tremendous realignment in america today. you have working class, whites, blacks, hispanics, asians, those people will vote for trump. i mean, pollsters can't pick that up. it is not just like democrats, republicans and independents. you have a working class revolt against joe biden and the progressives and the wokesters. >> had them with reagan. there were reagan democrats a lot of working class under the radar. that is trump one of his greatest accomplishments, returned the gop becoming a working class party. democrats had the lock on that for years. that will be the end for nikki haley when that happens. larry: who? >> the republican hillary clinton. give her credit she did a good job wasting $78 million of donor money. larry: it is a free country. the way i look at it. larry: it is utterly irrelevant. jason chaffetz, mark simone,

thank you very much. you love wendy's. >> bacon ator. larry: makes me i'll thinking about it idf special-ops veteran aaron cohen. why is joe biden betraying our ally israel? this is huge question, folks. go to mcdonald's once again, just once. to save with a quick commercial auto quote online. so you can get back to your monster to-do list. -really? -get a quote at progresivecommercial.com. rsv is out there. for those 60 years and older protect against rsv with arexvy. arexvy is a vaccine used to prevent lower respiratory disease from rsv in people 60 years and older. arexvy does not protect everyone and is not for those with severe allergic reactions to its ingredients. those with weakened immune systems may have a lower response to the vaccine. the most common side effects are

larry: the question still is why is the u.s. seem to be betraying its great ally israel? let's bring in aaron cohen, idf special-ops veteran. aaron, good to see you. we'll give you a quote from president biden on this subject. take a listen, please. president biden: ramadan is coming up and there is an agreement by the israelis they would not engage in activities during ramadan as well in order to give us time in order to get all the hostages out. larry: he is saying that at some goofy evening talk show, late-night talk show. i don't know, has israel agreed to this? secondly the united states is bringing a resolution in the u.n. that would stop israel from taking out hamas in the south and rafah and so forth and so on. what is going on here? what can you tell us? >> so here's where i am at with this, larry. i think it is obvious biden's is

catering to his younger voters, these younger democratic voters. he has an election coming up. he is feeling the heat. he is disliked by every side. he and blinken have not done an effective job maintaining relations in that region and negotiating complexity of israel, that is not black and white it is complex. he is feeling the pressure. as far as why he is putting pressure, continuous pressure at this stage, almost five months in after israel dismantled from what i understand, 18 or 19 battalion sized cells of the terrorists of the 26 throughout gaza over the last five months, i think that biden feels that israel can handle it. even if there is a cease-fire, even if israel has the brakes put on them again, let's lean back into the hostages. give the air rashes 30 days to have ramadan. israel is good with that.

30% live in the idf. they are not oppose towed that. they don't want to shake up ramadan, how important it is to israeli arabs and palestinian arabs. biden, it is almost a compliment, that israel will deal with it in 40 days, what is they're proposing and turn it back on but giving hamas more time. october 7 reverberated all over the middle east. the truth is israel is crushing hamas. it has gotten so political to the point it is almost laughable. netanyahu, benny ganz and shin bet are con finning to do what they have to do. they may tone it down a bit during ramadan. larry: i haven't heard hamas say they would agree to have a cease-fire or release any hostage. >> correct. larry: the point, what about

annihilation? gaza city is important. south gas is very important. israel is there. it is close to getting the job done. but it has to get the job done. you know what? a couple electoral votes around dearborn, michigan, seems awfully shortsighted to me with respect to the existential threat to israel, the only democracy in the middle east and supposedly america's great ally. >> larry, you're 100% correct. rafah is the final terrorist strong hold in gaza. that pressure sure cooker or in hebrew that campaign forced all the terrorists via tunnels, over the stop, into that one last corner. i believe from some of the people that i've been chatting with quietly, there are a significant number of hostages in rafah. i just don't think, i don't think that biden really has got, he doesn't have a clue to what he is doing here and it will affect him in the election. israel will keep doing what it has to do.

next time we get up and talk it will be the same conversation but israel will have killed more terrorists, that is the bottomch linein. w larry: thankea you, aaron cohen use it to set and track your goals, big and small... and see how changes you make today... could help put them within reach. from your first big move to retiring poolside - and the other goals along the way. wealth plan can help get you there. ♪ j.p. morgan wealth management. ♪ limu emu & doug ♪ ( bell ringing) customize and save with libberty bibberty. liberty bushumal. libtreally blubatoo. mark that one.
