foxbusiness. have a good evening, thank you for watching we hope you join us again tomorrow night. ♪♪ kennedy: q. week, welcome to it. i hate to say i told you so but what did you think would happen when you have the federal government to power-hungry data's i told you so. and i love saying it. a new poll shows how frustrated people have grown the scope of government, 52% of respondents say uncle sam is doing too much and businesses individuals should be taking the wheel. i love when you talk dirty. a year ago, 54% said the

government should be doing more and now suck. who saw this coming? big spending, rapid inflation, that foreign policy decisions, authoritarian mandates, color me shocked. the biggest ship here in 2020, only 38% said rent that a government is too intrusive, number 57%. all of a sudden you are allergic to high taxes stagflation? was shocking in this is 19% of people had been regards to say taxes should be higher than the government should provide more crappy services. here's another newsflash to the do-gooders, the irs take your money. no questions asked. if you think there should be 80% marginal tax rate and spend letter stuffed with cash to the root u.s. treasury. i don't even know what it means young people love it.

the rest of us can make your taxes and enjoy productized streamlined services like dmv run like an airline lounge. thank you. this much spending even more egregious collection for be ready for the irs to invent new ways to sign your spending snatch every last crumb. they'll have so much money and power, they will make you know rover splash. gbg dropped 45% because of the pandemic we may not be able to see until his arms will not gain power later. teachers unions don't want anyone to show staggering ernie deficit from the pandemic since math has been labeled racist, get ready for new bridges and buildings to crumble the mayor built in 20 years. sure, you may be left to die inside the rubble but at least the engineer who built it knows what a coup is. most people know government shouldn't be in charge of most

things. if something can be done better privately, that's how it should be done. don't whine about the side of governments when it all get to big things to go complacency. if you want to be a freedom loving genius, that's the memo. pandemic has taught us anything, liberals want government to be involved in every facet of your life and cradle-to-grave. don't get me wrong, there republicans not camp. fortunately, more and more people are starting to realize this is a deal with the devil so can freedom lovers do more to spread the word let's get into it with tonight luscious party panel, townhall.com editor and fox news page of russia for five, katie. and chris on night, host of the aggressive progressive podcast it christopher hahn with her lovely shirt tie, pretty

foundation for economic education correspondent, brad palombo is back. welcome one and all. katie, these we result, i think the big surprise here is shifted drastically and reversed itself within a year, what you make of this? >> the first thing i would say i think it's clear americans are think we did everything we were told to do, work on from 15 days to slow for spread to turn in your employment card if you're not going to get the vaccine and that's a bridge too far so when there's a crisis more people usually gravitate toward more government especially with a government like during the pandemic shutting everything down and the only thing people had to rely on for income for access to medical care was the government but when they hold on to regulations after we learned more about the disease and we get through it with the economic the people getting back to their

lives, and they get a vaccine allowing the economy to open up again as a result of fewer people dying people want to move on with our lives. the government wants to maintain their power and politicians across the country have been doing that in california for example, michigan and new york was other states like florida have been able to balance taking care of people with covid and keeping the economy open in times of crisis and democrat taking advantage of crisis because they know people gravitate toward the government. kennedy: and that is true, there are two different models here from the california model which is we know better than you, we care about you more than you care about yourself and the florida model which is here's what you know you should be doing but we are going to leave that decision up to you and you have two kinds of people, you have bernie sanders always like we need more government. there was no illiterate people in cuba ever.

they may have died trying to escape that hellhole but they could all read and then you have libertarians like me who are like no, let people make their own bad decisions themselves. less government, more autonomy, it's a recipe for freedom which is what humans ultimately want so i was only one -- only one is right but everyone else is flapping in the wind. >> we are doing ten minutes on a nine-point swing on the question, is government doing too much or too little? look, every time the pendulum swings, democrats are in office and trying to do too much, he will get this nine-point swing from independence. it happened visible time. replicants get into doing too little, they say government is entering too little, it is what it is. i don't make as much of it as you do, i do think there is some cause for concern because people aren't necessarily satisfied

with what government is doing. maybe government needs to be more focused in what they are doing but look -- need to may be government to focus more, is that what you are saying? >> government needs to focus you your things and focus on doing things better but that's what i am saying. i've been looking at polls my entire career, they swing like this question whenever a party in power is seen doing more. kennedy: brad. >> i want to know who that 20% or so but you said want more taxes and more spending, who are they and what are they smoking? if you haven't got the message from the last year when the federal government wasted trimmings of our dollars. month did you know if you took all the covid relief it comes out to $42000 a federal taxpayer? i don't know anyone in this country who sought that much in benefit.

five times as much lost to unemployment fraud and expanded covid version may spent providing and developing the vaccine so the lesson of the last two years is the story of government failure after government failure and we are going to talk about this later tonight, they did it while not playing by their own will so if you come away from the last two years wanting mark government, i don't know what you are smoking. kennedy: maybe we need to completely different societies or maybe we do have to have the kind of tax returns where we get to choose where our money goes and if there are people who want to spend that much more money than they should be the ones volunteering that while the rest of us get to take our hard earned income do with it what we see fit including donating to charitable organizations and causes. the got much more later on, it's a big night. first, america's financial trouble could be just beginning. that's not good news. we know prices for literally everything are rising especially rental cars and reach but some

economists say inflation could carry over into 2022 and worse, a professor, it was darkness morning america is listening to recession worse than 2008, big government responsible and how else isn't making people's lives miserable? here to discuss, the chair of the public understanding economic of the cato institute, author of economic and run virus welcome back. >> good to be with you be to this professor is saying we have special metrics and a special way of interviewing people and there's a 20% drop essentially in these narrow areas of consumer confidence in that drop correlates to the same drop we saw in 2008 therefore we are already in a recession, do you agree with that? >> i don't agree with that the author of that paper tends to be pessimistic in the best of times

but i do think he's highlighting concern people have at the moment which is the fact that high levels of inflation always the road purchasing power of the dollar and joe biden was warned about this. spring master, larry summers, former treasury secretary said the economy doesn't have a supply capacity to meet all of the demand for pumping in and as a result, you are likely to do is causing too much money chasing too few goods and as a result lead to sustained increases in the level and the danger here is if people start expecting the inflation to go up, and it is permanent in terms of growth rather than transitory, people going to of negotiations and demanding increasing get into the wage so you get distortions in the economy once inflation takes off. kennedy: i knew government was screwing everything up to

explain it, i am impressed by that so let's talk about reflation. what is that? that sounds exciting but couldn't be all good news, right? >> economists have been struggling to find a word to describe what we are going through because gdp is still going up, employment going up but mo slowly than before so we haven't got a fancy word like in the 70s stagflation which meant stagnation of gdp with rising prices so i think we are going through at the moment is a dangerous form of reflation or reallocation which is the economy has been shut down for a long time, we free up and put the form of the economy is very different now than it was before the pandemic. we changed what jobs we want to do, was changed what things we are demanding demanding much more the way of goods and less in the way of services before and tons of people decided as a result of the pandemic they are working in different places or do different jobs so you at all

of this up jobs and input capitol in the wrong places around the economy relative to where people want it to be as the economy is growing, we seen reallocation of resources and the problem is when you pumping so much money chasing goods in an environment with a supply isn't quite there yet, you end up distorting prices and when you distort prices, of course you lead to shortages in certain places and people not knowing what to produce and what people ultimately really work. kennedy: fusion ask them neck time when the fed starts doing this if they want to live in the bobwhite in 2005. they are printing million dollar bills and don't buy anything and there's nothing there americans are used to seeing this. americans are used to going into stores seeing empty shelves and sometimes it women on organized

gangs coming in and stealing stuff from cvs and they leave because i won't be charged with a felony. but there's obviously much more here and when you have a government tinkering with everything and only put a hand on one side of the scale, there's going to be a great imbalance which ultimately will hurt the people who need the most help and that is cruel, isn't it? >> i want to put one 100% of the blame on politicians because . kennedy: you can. >> that is very generous. as a result of the pandemic, there was always one to be a degree of disruption and supply chains and many regards have been remarkably resilient given huge swing and demand we've seen but we were warned about this last year, the message stimulus bill we had earlier on this year, american rescue plan hindered the supply side of the economy by paying people

stimulus checks, big unemployment insurance benefits which made it, they people who are reluctant to go back into the labor force gummed up on my side while at the same time pumping in money on the demand side. you restrain supply and boost demand, you'll get rising prices. kennedy: then everyone wears sweatpants and toilet paper, not good. coming up from china reportedly possessing a new hypersonic missile second strike anywhere on earth in minutes. we are all going to die. brian is here to explain how that will happen next. ♪♪

we are probably screwed by china unstoppable hypersonic missile. capable of striking anyone included it far more advanced and intelligence agencies i looked realized at the chinese do ninth report claiming the spacecraft and they said it didn't come from china, it came from auto parts packaging.

that's true. congressman found alarming on fox earlier today. >> this is the most famous, most dangerous weapon system we cannot and ourselves from her if the capability was able to orbit the earth in land about 25 miles from its target, most disturbing of all, a wake-up call for the united states and our allies and moment we have to win this global competition against our greatest adversary communist china. kennedy: found effective. china and russia working on missile technology in our military ready to retaliate, or playing the same game? if not, what are we spending $700 billion defense budget on? drink me now, dark secret place.com founder and army combat veteran, it sounds like they are using alien technology. >> here's the thing, when the

financial times broke this story, facebook 25 people and all of them were shocked and surprised china had this technology besides the fact we've been giving it away for 15 years, how russia product and outright spying and stealing it the fact is, we got a couple of systems identical to this, one tested over my house in september, we arrow, the air launched rapid talking and somebody close to this technology said what the chinese did almost clouds themselves because first about they demonstrated the capability of practical use. not going to use the weapon to kill your next-door neighbor

saint you know what, but he? forty-three minutes, you're going to get yours because it's going around the world, they demonstrated a useless capability then they screwed the money shot and missed by 25 miles because it entire points of the weapon is it hyper, we thought of it, is called global strike at the president seized bin laden on his vision and bin laden sitting down to lunch, he stepped 45 minutes to whack him and wanted to leave the rest, it has to hit him so the chinese to missed their target yes, after a circumnavigation can missed the target by 25 miles, they fail in american testing, the systems testing, edwards entitled lake, it's a fail actually hit the target and i bet you the chinese are angrily pointing fingers at each other because within the community they look kind of

silly. kennedy: while it is there some clutching and congress amongst intelligence and defense sites? >> we have no defense for it. our ground-based missile defense in alaska is meant for midcourse interception, a ballistic mission which is like shooting an arrow to probably your house. that's what it's meant for anything over the north pole. it's theoretically chinese can shoot this hospital because it.north but why would they? hours back. there's not a sputnik moment. it's only sputnik moment if we didn't have an identical technology we could have marched before sputnik in 19 to seven. however, it's extremely serious because china felt it was more important to send a message even though it failed ultimately to send a message but they have the technology so the test was the message, not the failed whatever

term, the landing. kennedy: i believe you said money shot which i'm guessing comes out of a teacher can at a baseball game. i would ask you, former chief chair and former secretary of state powell died today. eighty-four years old, complications from covid and cancer. and fighting parkinson's endnote as one of the main architects of our national security for decades including 91 go for and iraq invasion, a veteran on both of those, what is your thoughts on powell's legacy. >> i should be celebrated and this is why you put up statues is a great life so people here's

monophysite who's not man you will say what secretary of state, i had one question, i would have said why weren't you adamant about a plan for the day after we got we are going to be in baghdad in 17 days, date 18 on and so many days, they were making it along, the second state department had no guidance for us, in germany and japan and 45, i'm glad a smart guy was in those and 91 and in 2004 and 2005, a guy lost combat and it's

a sad day for every single american in a missed opportunity. >> you think general milley and secretary of state antony blinken, do they measure up? >> both of them, if you put them head to toe and make 20 more, i don't think they do. i certainly think milley does not measure up as chairman of the joint chief and so far from what i've seen, he's not the thinker powell was praising the former secretary of state, why don't you do a better job? so much, go subscribe now coming up, president biden in chicago, the latest democrat caught

violating their own mask mandate. why can't we just get but if these silly rules they obviously mean nothing? next. ♪♪

the hypocrisy, endless and infuriating, democrats once again violating their own mask mandate as usual is always an excuse. first up, lori, last night she was at the wnba finals in the windy city. yeah, that's her. in the middle, mass nowhere to be seen. anybody over us wear a mask in the arena regardless of vaccination status and we have president biden walking through fancy term?

, virus not going to sick me. the city's requirement today white house press secretary jen psaki that is not an issue, you guys there's a requirement inside restaurants get president biden and first lady were not wearing masks in the restaurant on saturday i think what we are referring to is a photo of them walking out of the restaurant after they had eaten masks in hand for they have not yet put them back on yet so i would say of course there are moments when we all put mask back on as quickly as we should. >> walking through the restaurant with no mask. >> i just addressed it. kennedy: no you didn't, you said it was a photo but it was a video, you didn't have a mask on my mask in your hand you have amassed over there going to go ahead. do what i say, not as i do. why won't our leaders admit the rules are arbitrary and they

don't follow him? the product panel is back, brad palombo, the politician want to make 80, peter ducey should have lifted has smashed often you're absolutely right, no mask. let's go peters not a hypocrite, he's a very good will all work so he follows the rules but kennedy from jen psaki tried to play it off like it's no big deal, why are you making it a big deal? it is infuriating and goes beyond hypocrisy if there are families start off airplanes because their toddler can't wear a mask on an airplane. you can be lined up to $1000 i believe in washington d.c. were not wearing our masks properly and restaurant restaurant owners in be fine for not enforcing this mandate and it doesn't make sense anymore like democrat cap themselves to say the walls are arbitrary and not what takes the

rules away from us for the health care for the people who don't be able to do whatever you want on airplane gets thrown off and threaten you with the rest, absolutely disgusting. we saw the enemy and the met, and the president and is no such thing as an off-duty president, even when he's walking through a restaurant committing medicare fraud. [laughter] >> i agree, he should be wearing his mask. you got him, congratulations. kennedy: thanks, chris graham asked if there's a real place, always wear your mask and everybody got vaccinated, we could get rid of the fact masks. kennedy: ps vaccinated. the vaccinated are the first to the masks.

>> i just wish -- we are going to need to take a list of politicians who haven't broken their own rules at this time or broken the rules. not that joe and joe biden actually did anything wrong in and of itself nothing wrong walking out of the restaurant or something wrong about it when you try to control other people's lives and force them to cover their faces and i also have to say the hypocrisy here in terms of the serving class be expected to stand around in their blast black mask and cover their faces, not spread germs to the elite, to be educated or important people so they can wear their masks from the cameras are on but not if there's a republican track. all of this together shows this authoritarian just trying to control us trying to control the people down there. kennedy: very much. it could impact them but not in

the way you may think in washington state police report of the claim rather than a beta vaccine mandate, all workers including the police must admit proof of vaccination by the end of the day. if more quit, that could mean more crime, that's not good. chicago 3000 officers refused to get vaccinated, they could be asked from a police superintendent threatening to deny retirement benefits to officers who would rather retire comply with the city's mandate and couldn't afford to lose more officers as crime skyrocketed so who's going to blink first? i think the unions might have a pretty powerful hand here. >> yes, it is amazing how democrats underestimate what people are willing to do to stand up against this type of mandate and it's incredible to watch democrat was people who not just put their lives on the line last year during covid but

every single day for the past two decades now was choose between keeping their job or taking a medical treatment they either don't need or simply don't want so whether it's nurses at hospitals, doctors or hospitals or the police, it's incredible to see them working through the pandemic without the vaccine, work every day of their lives front nine to help other people and now these politicians and cities are saying have to make a choice democrat wonder why there are consequences meaning you are police when there is are prime search across the country, that's on them, not police. kennedy: in seattle homicide rate is up 62% year-over-year, rape is up 70% between 20202021 so obviously there are some bad things happening in big cities,

is taking half your police force and firing them the best way to deal with it? >> don't you find it disturbing people who have guns and badges to take away other people's freedom will not follow orders? that should disturb all of us. they should follow the orders billion government has given them. they are not, they should be fired for that. there should be a vaccine mandate and when people don't follow orders in those positions, it should be disturbing to all of us. for the crime -- be to do you think nurses should be fired? >> 2019 -- 2021, not 2020 where people didn't live there houses compare apples to apples here. kennedy: if you have nurses working in county hospitals and half of them don't want the vaccine, even though facing up close and personal with the virus does, should they be fired as well? seven poor people going to the hospital with a covid related publication or heart attack they

should not be served when half the nurses have been released? >> i think people in the healthcare profession not following the scientific advice of the healthcare profession is giving them, probably should choose another profession because they are not suited for that profession i think it is disturbing to me and i don't think it's a large number. kennedy: i love that you think your big hard guy strong fantastic are going to have any consequences. [laughter] >> is large enough -- that is disturbing. i think it's disturbing, yes. kennedy: wrap. >> i don't know why we are not talking about natural immunity in these conversations because many of our front-line workers may have already had covid when they were risking their lives on the line over the last year or two. in that case, they do have robust immunity, progressives want to talk about follow the signs but they are not interested on the site on that. i took the vaccine, i recommend you take the vaccine if you

haven't at the end of the date they come up that shouldn't be a choice because the matter of personal health, everyone has had the option to take it if they want, pretty much with very rare exceptions. if they have, they are statistically safe so there's no externality here to justify infringing people's most basic bodily autonomy, it's just people who want to have the state, who's good and who's not, who bends to doctor fauci and who doesn't invest no way to run a society. kennedy: we are always -- all going to fight with chris on. our lawmakers too old? wait until you hear what a senator suggests, it's so good and we should do it now. ♪♪
