larry: hello, folks. welcome to kudlow, i'm l arry kudlow. so, president trump back on offense. wrapping up an hour-plus press conference, we have dagen mcdowell, katie pavlich, tammy bruce weighing in. but first fox news bryan llenas with a round up. what did you think you saw? reporter: larry, it was over an hour, he took 40 questions, former president taking question after question on what is now the 18ig th day his opponent vice president kamala harris has gone without a news conference, since she became presumptive democratic nominee. >> she is not doing any news conference, she can't, she doe doesn't know how, she is not smart you of, we need smart people to lead this country. reporter: former president said harris and her running

mate governor tim walz are enjoying a honeymoon period in polls that will end when people get to know her and her policies. trump warned that harris campaign will raise taxes, since trump tax cuts expire next year, and he said voters will quote vote with their stomachs meaning inflation at grow grocery store is the issue. >> we will have no tax. on seniors, so social security no tax on tips. simple. and we are a country with so many different ways to make money, we have under our feet more liquid gold, i call it oil. and gas, than any country in the world, much more than saudi arabia. much more than russia. reporter: trump then said he believes that presidents should have a say in interest rit rate s

decision. >> federal reserve is interesting thing. it is sort of gotten it wrong a lot. he is tending to be later on things. he getting too early and too late. and you know that very largely a gut feeling, i believe it is really a gut feeling, i feel a president some at least have a say. reporter: trump challenged harris to there i debates september 4 on fox, abc news september 10, and nbc news on september 25. harris, has agreed to that, ce september 10 debate on abc. larry: all right, bryan llenas thank you. so, president trump back on offense hitting kamala harris on all of the issues, the subject of the riff. >> just two days after kamala harris picked far left progressive governor tim walz, donald trump stood

up for over an hour at news conference in mar-a-lago and hammered the entire democratic ticket, hammered on the economy, inflation, open borders crime. foreign wars. you could almost call it a fresh campaign reset. just a little bit of the hammer. >> kamala's record is horrible. she is say radical left personal a level nobody has seen, she picked a radical left man, that is he has things didn't he has positions that are just not -- not even possible to believe they exist. >> c kamala been presumptive democratic nominee for 18 days and not yet faced a press conference or media questions, mr. trump with no teleprompter looked like he had one page of notes, answered all of the

question, still standing tall at end of 64 minute pressure, joe biden could not, kamala harris won't. donald trump did it did it well. now, for my taste, could have been growthier, but i always want growthier he did have a good tax cut section. >> no, our tax cuts, the biggest in history, they are coming due as you know soon. if they don't renew them, it is the equivalent of having a 4 times t tax increase from what you have right now, it will destroy the economy. i have never seen people get elected by saying we'll give you a tax increase. larry: right. i said a million times tax cutters win elections tax hikers lose. glad mr. trump agrees. america seay is' great middle class has been swept up. and lately, they have been hurt by rising

unemployment. among those without college degrees that covers nearly sift percent of the work -- 70% of workforce, unemployment rate jumped 3.3% to 4.6%, a big recession threat, i think mr. trump should keep going growthier to great middle america and great middle class working force, lower taxes mean higher pay checks. rolling back biden's 2 trillion in red tape in regulations, a boone to small businesses, left wing progressives like kamala harris and governor tim walz blame business rather than tax and spend cocalled modern monetary theory progressivism policies that always doom to failure, keep that hammer down mr. trump. as brian told us mr. trump offered to debate on fox

news no september 4, a vp debate on cbs for jd vance. so far have not heard a debating peep from kamala crowd, let's talk dagen mcdowell co-host of "the bottom line," heigh right here fabulous fox business. katie pavlich and tammy bruce. katie pavlich, was it a reset? did he need one. >> he got it done, there is some fat that could still be trimmed off some answers in terms of talking about things thatten to that don't pertain to people who vote for him. he went after cam for her electric vehicle candidate. and he mentioned you would to rebuild every bridge in

the country because trucks are so heavy. like these are just not prk practical he is drawing a contrast not just with kamala harris but also joe biden, i thought going after the way they took him out, saying he had the right to run for president, now a woman in charge of the democratic ticket running away from press answers questions, whether american public will reward him for coming out while she is hiding we have to see, we have a debate, september 10. we'll see if they agree to other two. larry: not to get too lost in this but, katie is right. trump is right. to this day, we don't know how it happened. that the president of the united states, who was essentially presumptively nominated in primaries to head up his own party

suddenly lost his job as nominee. i don't know if he lost his job as president. but folks don't understand, that i think that a dangling modifier. >> it should be discussed and explained. it is not just that but the process has been. how biden got elected, hiding in a basement. how did kamala harris get chosen? what have they been doing for last three to four years who has been in charge, who is will people responsible for this disast disaster, who is responsible for afghanistan airport catastrophe. 15 thousand w dollar a year cost to household because of regulations, who has done, that now who is kamala harris? all of these questions come up and i think trump points out to them in some fact about a then

authenticity. who is tim walz portrayed as a aw-shucks modern democrat when he is a bernie sanders. how does that come, american people have to realize, this is gaslighting, we have been lied to continuously, that allows them to do what they want. larry: dagen to you, was it a reset. ? trump is -- by some critics trust not had best 10 days of his campaign. and i was talking with vivek ramaswamy about this last night. others raise the issue. after brian company in georgia. looks like with tim walz coming in. is this a campaign reset coming out swinging just two days after they put walz up. >> he does not need a reset just a focus. >> focus.

>> he needs to focus more, of the one thing i wrote down from press conference, it is of course, i have never heard anyone campaign on a tax increase. larry: you love that. >> boom. shakalaka. high could hammer this more, not hammer -- larry: you heard me say that. last several decades. >> -- i want a pile drive or that issue. and all policies that matter to american people. he has the opportunity to paint kamala harris in to a corner, because she is saying, nothing about policy. so, the democrats want to raise taxes on the vast majority of americans, the democrats want to get rid of trump tax cuts, they were not for rich, they were for the working man and women, democrats want a lower standard deduction to tax the businesses, that you

work for or run. that means fewer jobs that means a strangle hold on you and your family. that is more of the last three and a half years of intentional suffering and hardship that harris and biden inflicted on you. keep hammering tax cuts, everything that kamala harris helped do has been to hand out to iran, they have enriched iran, they have enriched climate crusading cronies and people who have the privilege of going to college, getting a 4 year degree, they told roughly 85% of all americans, who didn't have a college degree, they didn't get student loan debt. larry: 70%. >> including people not in workforce, it is more 85. >> point is that -- >> but they told them people screw you,. they are doing more of that

and she is bragging more about it ham or that. larry: all right, was there enough of this in period's press conference. >> there was a lot followed by other things. >> i know. >> trim off the other stuff. and just focus on those things that would be the most helpful. for the president. yes, if you could focus on what he saying inern terms of substance. >> it was there. >> kamala harris not produced a single policy position, allowing her surrogating to speak for her, the claim made they just threw the campaign together, she ran for president once, they ran away from her far left policies, if they were pop popular for country they would be running on them, lying to american people when they say she has plans different from the past. >> she is worse than anything that biden has done, if you get rid of

hydraulic fracturing in united states that destroys 65 percent of oil we propro 70% of natural gas. >> and when you -- you have details. you understand. kamala harris can't speak about them she doesn't understand them. she is repeating things whoever that anonymous cabal is tells her what they are doing she can't explain it ear or tell you why it is good, they won't agree to three debates maybe just the one, they are desperate to hide her like they were in biden, there is something wrong with kamala harris and nature of what she understands like for different reason there was something wrong with biden, they will as avoid it american people cannot

accept silence from people who lied to them for two generations. larry: i thought it was fascinating. he was defending biden. i just thought that was interesting that brings out, we had an undemocratic transfer of power in united states, except that whatever 200 million or 2 mist mi250 million voters had no participation, i think that sticks in people's craw, they know something. >> there something wrong. larry: one thing is shooting in butler, pennsylvania, no one figured out secret service catastrophe, it is huge cover-up with fbi. and other one is this, a cabal just removed a president. and what would be called a coup d'etat. i like to do the economy, not vary from that so much but i think they are hot political topics, i am glad

trump got to them. >> a moment of his commcomedy, his ear, he got shot in the lobe. in te terms of question, there something serious wrong, when biden and white house is not saying why he is staying in presidency but not capable of running and then kamala harris knew of his decline but now she is the nominee and takes over at last minute claiming she knew nothing, they accuse trump of breaking norms, this is not normal, they claim to be party of democracy, they tried to get people like rfc jr. out of democratic primary filing lawsuit against the him, they didn't have a primary, now all of a sudden they switch out their candidate, she is pects is just walk in debates that were pre previously negotiated. larry: i think, i really think had say big issue.

tammy, one thing that bothers he, secret service discussion is -- it is out of the main press right now, congress is away. there is a task force blah, blah, blah in house. i don't think what is happening. there are secret service agents who were at butler, pennsylvania. who should not be at work right now. until we find out what this story is. i think that americaa aware of this problem. as well as this so-called coup d'etat, i wish morecambe up in press conference -- more had come up in press conference this issue is a big thing, and americans are scratching their heads, you read in newspapers, now conspiracy talks, this ises a conspiracy, a blot. plot. i don't have any idea. >> that is how conspiracy theory start to rise, people don't -- nature does not like a void, this since this is

inviting this problem, there was new bottom cam footage released about officer that went on roof. it has been a cover-up after a former president, presidential candidate, almost murdered in front of the world. and yet it is now almost like, koa well n, i worry like massive las vegas shooting we still do not know and it is just gone away, this is a problem. but it is not helpful when conspiracy begin to development and yet i have to say, for someone who is against that dynamic, is that it is understandable. and after the russia hoax and fbi fingerprint on that, it is now not so strange to think that there was a couca conspiracy but we have to maintain focus and v vi v

vigilance. and kamala harris likely role in covering up with what was happening in biden, that must be discussed. larry: doing dagen, the a fordbility crisis is not a cover-up, mr. trump must address this. >> the -- it is all on the backs and shoulders of harris and biden and what they have done. a.j. antoni wrote about it. 2 80 billion annually that people pay on their outstanding credit card balances. and their wages, real disposable personal income, has fallen 6 -- 6% in last thref

year its was up 20% under president trump. it is all -- this was all avoidable, where did that money g they are borrowing 2 trillion, this year. that is a recession level deficit. where is that money going? yyou are crushing pee people at home and you want to buy a house you can't. larry: you can't. >> prices skyrockets m. >> and rent. >> they have done and they have done despite fact they know, doesn't work they have never changed policy. larry: right. >> in face of knowing it is hurting people. larry: they blame trump, they always blame trump, other day unemployment rate went up they blamed trump.

>> who has been out of office for 4 years. >> so much power. >> i don't know where he is. larry: i have to get out. >> how badly government sucks they can't protect president trump's life. that is how bad government sucks. >> there is that, i agree. all these things. i think on the whom trump did well, they are never perfect. i don't know, that is not -- you are all perfect. >> thank you, larry. >> katie pavlich, tammy bruce, and dagen mcdowell. thank you. >> thank you. >> dagen mcdowell and sean duffy bine "the bottom line." coming up next. a whopper, dow up 680, must have been because trump did so well. but then again started before he had the press conference. so, we'll ask david bahnsen to help us on that you can catch kudlow at 4 p.m. here on fox business, if you can't do that particular

today. kelly, o'grady who is going on. >> good labor market data. here is where we finished dow y up. and s&p up and nazdaq up. big driver the initial jobless claims this morning totaled for the week down 17 thousand for week prior, also well belowe below th estimate of 240. giving labor market -- look not as bad as last friday jobs report. one note, continuing jobless claims they ticked up to. that is highest level since late november of 2021. speaks to trouble of those unemployment may have finding a job, we have not fully recover dp recovered. ed from monday's sell-off, these are day-to-day moves,

a little piece of market data sends things up and down, today wall street is happy. larry: thank you kelly o'grady, now joining us david bahnsen. ithe unemployment claims. >> no, it isn't kamala harris. and it is isn't -- all different theories. 1.3% is what the dow is down? do you know why because we sneezed. it doesn't count, we have gotten spoiled, we're deceiving on numbers, we see a thousand points that now 2%. it used to be 10%. larry: what is happening there. >> the monday thing, carry trade deal that thing are board hearing about -- bored hearing about that was going, to you don't have worse day in he nikkei and two days best ever,

unless something is broken, the nazdaq is over priced, big tech stuff is expensive. and dow is barely down. values doing fine. dividends are fine, energy is fine. larry: interest rates bounce back up today? >> a little bit, 10 year to 4%. still 70 basis points lower than a few months ago it got to 366 on monday. the bond market not pricing in a recession but slow growth. i don't want slow growth. larry: the profits numbers, they are mother's milk of stock and lifeblood of the economy. profits numbers bounce around in aggregate. maybe moring to the viewers, in the aggregate, my impression is right now profits are still okay. maybe not 15 or 20%, but not minus 10 or 15. >> they are positive, very

fair. the problem, they priced in 13% profit growth next year. and we're trading at 21 times that number. larry: way over valued. >> overvalued. i am glad we can talk about profits not politics, every now and then with stock market that is what you do. larry: i thought market rallied on trump's press conference. it didn't start until rally was -- just kidding. >> there is a risk, president trump's tweets monday were fair game. in the campaign, but i am saying problem of blaming someone when it goes down they take credit when it goes up it gets crazy, it is profit, and profit particulars, and i would -- expectations would argue it is priced for perfection next year in tech stocks. anything less would bring it down. larry: for normal folks, listening to this, what would you advise. >> if they are invested in

the market, i know everyone that wants to talk about buy and hold. it say cost way, but to be honest, i think that index is a play on tech, a play on nvidia that is ris risky, last time to got like this tech of 40% of the market was in 2000, that did not end well, i think that people need to diversify and be more value or or oriented. >> would you sell bonds any buy stocks? >> soon but not yet. you are getting to that point, the bond yields going lower fed will cut, i'm not bullish enough on economic growth. larry: emergency cut. >> no, if they did that look out. that would be a panic move. last time that was an emergency cut, it was covid. they shut down the country, time before this bear stearns going under. larry: economy is slowing. >> it is slowing. larry: stocks and profits

will slow with. >> that is the issue, next we're nexts in second half of this year are revised lower then you will see the index coming down, you add to that volatility of israel, and election. and energy i am watching because, the election has a lot going on there with lng, export, crude production. larry: david bahnsen thank you, sir. >> thank you. larry: people don't understand, sometimes i don't. anyway on kudlow. tax cuts win elections, i understand that. tax hikes lose them. we'll talk about it with kevin h hassett when kudlow returns, thank you. things will go wrong for your customers. but your business can make it right, with watsonx assistant.

larry: all right. kamala harris soft on crime record seems to be on full display, great report,

william lajeunesse from los angeles, i could not sleep a wink. what do you have today. reporter: let's talk about her record. some positions she opposes mandatory minimum sentences for convict, supported the dchandgun van, wants a national review board for police shootings, but being criticized for misleading voters and lacking leadership of soft on crime, frprop 47. >> california prop 47 allows certain nonviolent felony convictions to be reduced to misdemeanors. >> the year 2014, a get out of jail free card. retailers and local da predicted a rise in crime but state's top cop, attorney general kamala harris said at the time nothing. >> she is hiding out, not doing her job. not educating the public.

>> harris claimed as ag it was her duty to stay neutral. others disagreed. >> top newspaper said harris failed to inform voters, calling her gutless and disappointing. >> prop 47 was a lie, from day one. >> 10 years later some voters top undo prop 47, still blaming harris for mislabeling it, safe neighborhoods and schools act. >> the title was designed to trick voters. >> throughout her career, harris governed as a progressive. >> i think san francisco wants a progressive district attorney. >> promised to never seek the death penalty. >> i think this district attorney made a very big mistake. , if i had known she had said that in her campaign, i never would have supported her. >> as u.s. senator harris said defunding police

allowed cities to spend more on services. >> to believe that by putting more police street you will have more safety, that is wrong. >> she support it s -- sanctuary laws, and decriminalizing illegal immigration. >> we're not treating people who are undocumented across border as criminals. >> harris was to tell voters what fr prop 47 meant, critics say there was no mention it stopped dna collect from from felons crippled ability to solve crimes did not warn of spike in theft or cost to consumers. >> all right, william lajeunesse thank you for that run down. >> let's talk more about economy. joining me kevin hassett. author of the great book the drift. you probably saw the former boss press conference today or parts of it or heard about it. he had a nice section.

a great section how tax cuts win elections and tax hikes lose them. that is could not agree more. was he growthy enough? i think he was in that game, was to it growthy enough. did he talk about improving paychecks sufficiently. >> i believe he did. he has got this proposal to end tack taxation of social security, i know some conservative friends of ours criticize that, that is an example of growthiness, if you are a senior, if you don't make enough you go back to work they tax the heck out of you. it supply side thing. the fact is that if president trump is not elected a lot of the trump tax cuts will expire and democrats may not renew them. i think this special he get back in , he emphasize the benefit of his policies

adequately. larry: he did, he talked about social security release of that is be worked out. -- that can be worked out. we have talked about that and fa fau faulkender. you paid once to get social security. they are asking tou you to pay a second time, if you realize tack burden from social security, overall, that makes. employment more valuable that is a good thing, i would th think. >> yes, and unthere is another thing that our friend steve forbes taught us there are stealth tax hikes from inflation, and president trump promises to get ahead of c curve to stop borrowing from chinese, if government borrows as much as it is right now

it makes it harder for you to borrow, your interest rates are more expensive, that is a stealth tax hike, i think all in all you will see a heck of a lot of supply side benefits from reducing government spending, and having a big supply side push. larry: not i everyone agrees, kamala harris, a trip from her detroit speech, all business' fault. >> it will be my day one priority to fight to bring down prices, to take on the big corporations that engage in el leg price gouge could. gouging take on corporate landlords that unfairly raise rents on working families and take on big pharma and cap the cost of prescription drugs. larry: there you go, all business' fault, not tacking or spending or -- not taxing or spending or regulated or

left wing progressive causes it is business. >> right. if you think about it, what she is singling there for example is she supports president biden's r rent control was that a socialist speech, and she picked a vice president who is socialist. the fact that a real chilling thing she said if you think about it the war on business is a war on american workers we have proved that during bring trump administration. think about it, real wages and declined. they are 0 for 12, and basically batting 100% under president trump, why would people who care about their wages and care about welfare support these people the way they are, in democratic party, it feels they are in denial.

larry: the clo closest, ironically, she has come do any policy discussions, i think what we'll get is the biden-harris economic policies we don't hear the temp bidenomics any more. but nonetheless we'll get kamalanomics, looking like bidenomics perhaps worse, is this first time she said a word any policy. >> right, and thing that bothers me most about what you said, i'm sorry, but, the fact is that she is the vice president right now, and we have a president that is probably asleep somewhere. and not doing anything. she is running the white house. why does she have to wait until next january to do something about inflation, why not right now? right? why can't biden administration do it right now, it does not make sense to me. i have one last thing to add, just that i think the

response to initial claims today was way wrong. people down layoff folks at beginning of a a recession but they stop hiring, it clear hiring has stopped. that means photog fall -- going to fall next jobs report in august will be like the one we saw this will be politically important, people will see the negative affect as they do in every day lives with kamala harris policies. larry: i think we're in front end of a recession, unemployment claims, luke at you look at 4 week average, up about 50,000 from where it was a few months ago, trending higher. thathat -- i think that silly look at it weekly. or daily. you are right, more would be revealed on this whole story, kevin hassett thank you we appreciate it very much. >> good to see you. >> next upp biden-harris recessi--

larry: biden-harris regulatory ultra, strangling small business, getting worse, joining us now, douglas holtz-eakin. former congressional think about budget officer,ure updating your biden regulatory tracker by what 2 or 3 billion. 1.7 trillion now. >> 1.7 is an unbelievable number. i thought that obama administration was regulation without restraipts inretrains, in less than one term biden administration has doubled it most uncontrolled regulatory assault. larry: for people watching this show, first, small business people, what does this mean tell us what that means, this massive amount of regulatory red tape.

>> simple, you had a nice discussion of tax policy with hassett this is a different form. they f you to raise your waging this costs you month to get a lawyer for your small business because you don't know how to comply with the rule, this is money that has to come from the businesses and businesses may fail, that is the fear of the small businesses. or they won't start. and for those that survive, only place the costs go to their prices to customers, we worry about tax policy it hurts growth, and people's real wages this does the same thing, and numbers are huge. larry: let's say, small business fight the government, all right. you know, i fought the law but the law won. if that i want to fight the government or ftc or something like that they really condition. can't, government has all
