sound like a match made in heaven. yvonne has responded as you might expect, with me. on twitter. this reads quote they said it couldn't by twitter. and they wouldn't disclose information and now they want to force me to by twitter in court. now they have to disclose but information in court. then we have this jen, chuck noris playing chess with the caption chuck face. [laughter] i am amused but not everyone is. angry twitter employees accusing him of destroying the company. some investors are understandably furious because twitter stock has taken a dive since april and some conservatives claim they are worried with the rate will mean for free speech on the platform even former president trump has waited on the fiasco. >> elon is not going to by twitter. where did you hear that before? from me. thank you. she says thank you.

he's got himself a mess. do you know what he said the other day? voted for republican. you told me you voted for me. [laughter] is another [bleep] artist. kennedy: awkward. what happened? we don't know. did elon bite off more than he can chew? i don't know. he's got a $230 billion mouth. i think he can chew quite a lot. tonight party panel, american majority ceo and former george w. bush presidential writer, ned ryun is here. former state department spokesperson and fox news contributor, marie scarf. she's in the middle in action and from the foundation for economic education, policy correspondent and cofounder of base politics, brad polumbo. i think he's full. party panel, let's get into this because it's been an exciting ride. will he, won't he? what is he doing? what is the motivation? is he trying to drive down the

stock price to make it more affordable or did he never intended to go through it in the first place? >> i honestly, we will have to see how it plays out. as a couple of scenarios, he offered 44 billion, the breakup fee if he doesn't go through is 1 billionth so he would save 43 billion if he doesn't want to buy the company but what you brought up, if they really want to sue him, of the twitter board is serious about going into court proceedings, will lead to having to come out, how many accounts are really bought? it's a lot more than 5%, we all know. his a 30 or 40 or 50? we don't know but if they sue we will find out. the other think they will find out if they want to pursue this, what is the censorship and algorithms? has a lot of things the twitter board does not want revealed in court proceedings so i think we are again right now, i think what he's trying to do probably if i was guessing, drive down

the cost a little bit and find out the real percentage of spot to get a discount if he's serious about buying this and i think he is, i think he wants to see a free speech platform and a better deal instead of $54.20, trading at $32 and i think the price will continue to drop. kennedy: the high was $70 a share, that is a long time ago. obviously he wants a better deal for himself so do you think? did he start this thing to destroy the company and take the stock price? was he never really going to buy it? is he just publicly manipulating it so he can have a better bottom line in the end? >> as you know, i don't have a twitter account and there are many reasons for that. today i think is one reason i don't love this displayed on

twitter but i don't think she was ever going to buy it. elon musk has a track record of talking a big game, threatening to buy companies and backing out last minute and frankly, the fine or whatever might happen to him is like a rounding error for him so he's one of these uber wealthy men, the richest man in the world i think who likes to have fun and controls everyone all the time and i think this is just his latest troll and twitter doesn't need your restrictions, when i was on twitter, i got death threats threats of violence everyday and twitter needs i think better managed, i'm not necessarily sure elon musk was the person for a bunch of reasons. kennedy: maybe he's not but certainly people in charge, they are not doing a responsible warfare job managing it themselves and that's why i think brad, who seemed so many people in particular libertarians and conservatives

eager for more transparency and access to the algorithms and free speech because their speech has been squashed. a lot of people, and we talked about it openly on this show, they've been shadow band, they've tweeted things that people have liked and likes go away, they are not getting reached and maybe it's because of their politics. if this deal goes south, is it really free speech taking the hit? >> i think if you want deal doesn't go through, it will be a big loss for free speech in the cultural sense and printable sense, not necessarily legal sense but the reason all of this pushback whether the box thing or even the moment he announced his interest, spent tremendous pushback. it's overwhelmingly run and dominated by liberals, just a fact. the 21, 99% of twitter

employees, political donations went to democrats. that's about as big an echo chamber can possibly find. it's hard to imagine a more homogenous employee base the more corporate america so one of the most liberal companies in terms of internal structure and elon friend that and also joined to take whatever behind the scenes algorithms are in shackles off conservative right-leaning voices and i think everything we've seen is a pushback to that so if it doesn't go through ultimately free speech will be the biggest loser. kennedy: but maybe someone like elon musk will develop a platform that really is open and people can talk about things without fear of being centered even if they are discussing correct and truthful information. we will have more with the panel, so much to discuss with them tonight. a big night here and we just left ports. all jokes aside, there are serious legal issues between

twitter and elon musk. twitter plans to file suit with the delaware, they are going to take their chances with the chancery arguing musk must close the agreed-upon deal. the original contract he signed as $1 billion termination fee if it does fall apart. if it had to court and elon losers, could he go to jail? attorney northwest and law professor, andrew sullivan is back. he's going to go to the penitentiary if this goes down in flames, andrew? >> he's not going to go to jail. what's going to happen is there will be a settlement because neither side wants us to go that further. if twitter does what elon musk and his lawyers digging around in the algorithms, they don't want the advertisers to get the truth. jan musk has more important things to do, he just had twins last week and he's running multiple big companies, this

will settle and we will see what happens in discovery. kennedy: i think he had twins in november actually and another child. he's got a lot of children many women out there would love for him to inhabit there you try to access 230 plus billing dollars he's sitting on. what would it look like if elon wins here? >> if he wins, it's simple, you will have to present a fraud claim and say i got information incorrect, i relied on it to my detriment and had twitter been truthful with me, i would never have paid this money. in reality, it's a negotiating ploy because twitter's stock price drops dramatically in interest rates have spiked up to the cost of financing the deal has increased exponentially he's going tosent a fraud claim and he's right, the good news for musk, he is a gambler, you won't have to pay the $1 billion

breakup fee anyway because the contract was induced through fraud. kennedy: so what if twitter wins? if they successfully push the issue and taken to court or make it seemed like they are going to, will they be able to force the merger? >> that's a good question, we had never seen a judge order the remedy that twitter was, specific performance. they want musk to go forward with this. we've seen it in smaller deals but never deal, 45 or 46 millior so that's going to be part to force somebody to buy this company and that's why i be shocked if there's a sediment, if they don't reach the deal because musk will say i can't put this deal together, i don't have the financing or ability to do it so i think twitter is in a trip box in terms of what they are going to be able to do but

in theory, the judge could order elon musk to buy this company at the price agreed to. kennedy: what is the most likely outcome here? is it but who of twitter to lower the price a share that they will accept from musk? in that sense, making this spectacle could bring victory if that happens. >> i think ultimately what's going to happen is musk is going to pay a number larger than $1 billion as a breakup fee. tough to say if it's 2 billion or 10 billion, i don't think you want to because of share prices plummeting. he has a history of doing this three years ago he claimed he was taking tesla private at $420 a share without financing light up at all so he has a track record of doing this and he'll pay will die billing dollars penalty, a breakup fee but i don't think is going to hold the company. kennedy: what if they really did withhold information about the

number of box they knew about and what real? >> and twitter has a huge problem because not only will there be no billing dollars breakup but they may have to pay damages and mr. musk's fees and the pr hit, the advertisers to the public if we find out 20, 30, 40% of twitter's users are box, fake, or real. it's horrific and twitter what have the possibility of going down in flames because advertisers if they realize%, 40% are box, they've been overpaying for a long time for the advertising and. kennedy: he would be on the bounty and that means i don't have any real friends than. it's really sad. thank you so much. coming up, president biden is getting gussied up for his first middle east visit as

commander-in-chief. he insists he's not there to beg for more oil so why are we wining and dining dictators in a place where they don't even drink? i'll ask scott horton. he knows everything. he's next. ♪♪

psst. girl. you can do better. ok. wow. i'm right here. and you can do better, too. at least with your big name wireless carrier. with xfinity mobile, you can get unlimited for $30 per month on the nation's most reliable 5g network. they can even save you hundreds a year on your wireless bill, over t-mobile, at&t and verizon. wow. i can do better. yes, you can. i can do better, too. break free from the big three and switch to xfinity mobile.

disappointment. president biden saudi arabia for a meeting with strategic allies, president wrote washington post op-ed titled going to saudi arabia. it's filled with lies. i'll tell you why into words, gas prices. if we are completely dependent on oil, why is the president during to horrific dictator instead of making energy here in the united states allowing us to be independent? joining me now to discuss, the return institute editorial director of anti- war.com best hour, scott horton, welcome back, scott. >> thank you, happy to be here. kennedy: what is the best case scenario? from the american standpoint, the american president going to saudi arabia, what would be the best outcome for our fellow citizens? >> i think the first thing he should do is try to prevent the

framing of the deal he has to make with them that will help them continue their war in yemen. he's is that he should bring that the exact opposite. listen, crown prince. we know you are trying to back down and back out of this war, it's failed. it's been seven years. we will help you disengage and make peace and associate deal if you will crank up oil production. i don't know how much capacity the saudi's have two spare here but that's what biden should be doing first priority, ending the genocide in yemen and worry about the price of fuel which is driven by monetary inflation more than any other thing later on. kennedy: but they never talk about that, it's interesting, they never talk about the monetary aspect but how nice would that be if we had increased oil production and peace and called the slaughter of innocent civilians in yemen? the president said he's going to

push the conference on human rights abuses nbs will probably say go ahead and eat glass for your doing to citizens in the united states is worse, you are a decrepit hypocrite. >> and he would have points there. as biden mentioned a couple times, one of the main reasons is going over there is trying to lay the groundwork for something like a new middle eastern nato and form an official military alliance with the gulf cooperation council and israel and the new insight i run alliance which is not something we should do at all, we should make peace. they sponsor the bombs in 1983 but ronald reagan sold missiles a couple of years after that and that was 35 years ago. enough of the cold war against iranians and shiites. biden's that iran increased the power in the region but it was

he and w bush that gave iran's best friend baghdad and he and barack obama made the syrians and the regime in yemen more dependent on iran and more before. he's not in a position to complain about this. the new order in the middle east should be withdraw and peace. kennedy: but with the united states ever do that? it's interesting, there are three things every u.s. president wants in at least one is entirely -- two are confounding they want peace between israel and palestine. they want to understand vladimir putin and they are insistent that we have this alliance with saudi arabia. i don't know why at least one regime can't stand up to the saudi's. if the reason is to have a cleaner environment and a better climate yet we are still so

dependent on foreign oil at the hands of dictators, why can't we let that one go? >> especially when it's a global oil price, united states of america hardly for oil in the middle east, i don't the latest statistics but it's very little and mostly america's dominance in the middle eastern oil ever since secretary defense cheney explained 1991, our control over the oil is to cut off china in the event of conflict with them so we can lord our control over the resources, our and our friends and allies, koreans and japanese and australians and others who are dependent on the oil. america should abandon our empire, the whole thing is murder suicide in cost is everything. his a study that said from 1976 year i was born to the dawn of the terror war in 2001, america misallocated $7 trillion,

so-called securing middle eastern oil when we never spent the smallest fraction of that on pumping middle eastern oil into our cars. kennedy: now our cars -- exactly right. i'd love to see the $7 trillion back. by me a louis vuitton, scott. >> since w bush so. kennedy: masters, i love them. thank you, good to talk to you. >> thank you. kennedy: scott and i will be at freedom best to this week. streaming live on fox nation.com. your subscription now. fox nation.com and watch the whole thing live. i've got a sexy dress wednesday night. he got to say. new pregnant woman are going her way out of a traffic ticket and the reason is peak 2022. i'll tell you how to live fast in my memo next.

a texas woman is pushing the definition of personhood as well as showing the depth of stupidity with ridiculous social engineered hov lanes. brady petrone was pulled over in dallas county texas, given $215 ticket for driving so solo in the car pool lane but as she pointed out, she pointed to her belly and told the deputy i'm not alone, my baby girl is riding with me. she reasoned that with roe v. wade overturning, texas law grants a fetus personhood. if the state says the developing child as a person and hov lane requires two or more persons, then brady has fulfilled necessary requirements to live in peace in the lighter lane. the deputy wasn't having it and insisted laws required to people outside the body. this is an arbitrary cruel

designation much like hov lanes themselves. social engineering never works but the 60 pico's who birthed these ideas and forced carpooling should be retired for good. the lanes are expensive to put in and don't reduce traffic and half the people in them are from the same family. caltrans estimates 39% of people who sneak into the oases are singletons gaining the system and risk ticket will find of higher insurance rates just to get a mild break of poorly designed highways made worse by failed good intentions. have you ever carpooled with a stranger? the lure of wide open lane ever made you want to drag a psycho with her privates in your sacred space? no? exactly. wasted roots have never been in traffic, they only increase frustration and suck money and resources. hopefully her and her family

will be the rock that shatters the façade and her women and family can ride in the high occupancy lane that fear of bigotry. while they are at it, the only unborn babies but people with food babies or any general bloat or mildly uncomfortable should be able to take advantage of the loophole. are you suffering from excessive thirst or hunger? hov bad hair day. you can't be tortured and stuck in traffic staring at your staff self. you get to go in the hov lane. too many in your head? you're not alone, he should wobbly ride unencumbered. pretty much everyone should be able to ride in these lanes and just get rid of them and save us from do-gooder government babies once and for all. that's the memo. brandy bertone is due in court july 20, already a star. her baby reportedly due august 3. it'll be tight.

should the judge give her an early baby gift and rule in her favor? ned, brad polumbo and marie park. ned, you fathered quite a few people, should a woman expecting be able to take advantage of the arbitrary hov section? >> as president for if you go back to 1987 in costa mesa california, this happened. a pregnant woman five months pregnant was stopped by the california highway patrol and given a ticket and she took it to court and the judge agreed with her that she could be in the hov lane as a pregnant woman. the president having a case for it in front of the judge in texas but i'm all for passing laws that benefit pregnant moms so let's have moms to be in hov lanes but you also said what i want to address, our infrastructure in this country is a dismal, a disaster. at some time i would hope our leaders in d.c. but also the state actually get serious bringing our infrastructure into

the 21st century so if mom the hov lane and improve the infrastructure. kennedy: stop encouraging people to ride with psychos. we learned in the 70s and 80s is not good to pick up hitchhikers, why would you want to carpool with a stranger? lord knows what they are doing with their hands while your hands are at ten and two. >> i've watched a lot of law and order, believe me, i don't stick up pick up hitchhikers. i'm with randy here, i think she was super smart and savvy and also making a more important points about texas new law in the wake of roe v. wade being overturned so i'm all for that, i am surprised how strong you hate hov lanes, i didn't expect that because -- i appreciate the passion you brought because in d.c. for example, i don't pick up strangers but sometimes i have other people i know biting

in the car and they are nice, actually. this is an interesting debate tonight, i am surprised. kennedy: maybe there are people known to you but especially driving in socal, there's no one in the hov lane but the other four lanes on the 405 are completely jammed. you could have 20% more passage but they don't do it.ork, it's e to put them in and it's like they have hot lanes, you can pay a toll which is fine but they should privatize all roads. if you want to take a toll road and a faster route and willing to pay $9, you should be able to do that. >> i don't think we need to go down that road, i know libertarians love to talk about that but i think here it's about a holistic pro-life position. if you do believe life begins in

the womb like for example, loss have been inconsistent on this. the way you could be charged for double homicide rightly if you kill an expecting mother but the same law, the loss of termination of the pregnancy, it's never made sense. the law has to be consistent to have respect and rule of law. i think it makes sense this woman made this stance but i'm wondering about the police officer in the story. sir, is this the best use of your time? 50% of murders in 2001 and you are pulling people over about the hov lane and being a karen asked it's dangerous. traffic stops can be dangerous for all parties and they should focus on more serious violent crimes, not stuff like this in my opinion. kennedy: absolutely and there is violent crime even in dallas county. it's funny because a lot of people apparently see this as a debate about when life begins and i'm like no, get rid of social engineering.

>> kennedy hates the hov lane. kennedy: i don't, the h stands for haters. speaking of personhood, novak djokovic 21st grand slam single title yesterday but his back status could land him in deep yogurt because the u.s. open, that next month. he has no plans to get the job. why would he? current coverage rules say unvaccinated noncitizens cannot come to the u.s. member of the australia debacle? is not a vaccine. officials that hold up in the hotel and deported him. will that he was heartlessly do the same? that for tennis and for the country, ned. >> first of all, it's not a vaccine. it's a therapeutic shot next parading as a shot, you can call

it a cow pie rose but it's still a cow pie. you have to get three or four times in a booster shot, it's not a vaccine. we got to come to grips with the data and facts and science other two years after this began and say you are dealing with one of the finest male athletes in the world right now, he should have the ability to decide what he puts in or doesn't put in his body. if he plays and competes for another title, the u.s. open, i think we have reached the peak of 30 we are trying to force therapeutic shot mandate that frankly don't do what they were advertised to do. kennedy: and shouldn't the governing tennis body be the one decides who plays? the willy-nilly government restrictions and you don't even have to get tested if your u.s. citizen to come back to the country, it's all so confusing. >> lots of vaccines have multiple shots in them, by the way so to say that -- but a lot of them do the points are,

playing tennis is not a right, it's not something you are guaranteed and each tournament is to come up with their own rules and there are risks having unvaccinated people at these tournaments and they get to make the decision they don't want to put other players or spectators or anyone working there at risk. they could to make that decision, they are a private entity and i hear a lot on this show about private corporations making their own decisions and they make and he may not be there. kennedy: but is not a company, that's my issue, it's government policy. it's not the usda, it is the united states government saying if you are not vaccinated and non- citizen, you cannot come into this country. that is my issue because we've gotten so far into the pandemic and now we are on the downward slope the guy has played, he's

one, he's going to be tested in a bubble, no one is going to touch him or talk to him because he's a multimillionaire world famous tennis player and their -- he's not going to touch the dirty simpletons there at the stadium. >> but more importantly, it is clearly about control, not public health because the vaccines -- and is a vaccine, you get a flu vaccine every year and it still effective -- it keeps people out of the morgue but doesn't stop transmission so i agree on that and is not like making sure everyone is faxes means covid won't spread, we all know stories of people who have had it in spread it, myself included so when it a personal benefit the vaccination at this time mostly, not interpersonal, not stopping the spread and it tracks than the mandate, government especially but even private become more obviously

about conformity and control and actually about public health or following the science. kennedy: edit this time let them take up their own minds about what they do. my daughter get meningitis vaccine and the doctor doesn't go well, she's going to have a much less. the case of meningitis. the assumption is she won't get meningitis. last word. >> if you have to get for shots plus a booster still get the virus, that's not a vaccine. it may be a therapeutic at best but this is not a vaccine. kennedy: the only place -- at moose -- at happy hour. i'm going right now. party panel, we got to go but you've all been wonderful and tremendous, kind and amazing so thank you. >> thanks, kennedy. kennedy: coming up, we are going to talk about refer. smoke them if you got them. businesses getting a tax cut, not as much as they would like.

california cannabis chamber of commerce chair, first jane is back. welcome back. >> thanks for having me. kennedy: this was always a bad idea and they'd seen other states legalize recreational marijuana like colorado but california had to get too greedy with taxes and they've known for some time it's making the environment worse and less safe. there's a little easing of the cannabis tax but not enough, is it? >> it isn't and for context, when voters legalized cannabis via prop 64 in 2016, their intent was to replace the illegal cannabis market with legal regulated safe cannabis market but years later, the illegal market rather than shrinking has grown, it's estimated $10 billion in this because cannabis tax five or six times before it reaches the consumer in california as a

result, it's almost impossible to run a legal cannabis business in california and make money and consumers often price-sensitive disincentive to purchase on the legal market so where we are today, there are huge spots in the state dominated by cartel, growing cannabis illegally, destroying california's environment and selling safe untested products to consumers. kennedy: you also don't know what kind of fertilizers or antimicrobials they are spring. they are certainly not using products that have been tested they are using stuff to kill the things that might infringe upon their crops and that could be bad for consumers because you don't know what is in it. that was the reason for having a legal system, you could go to a dispensary and get what you wanted the ratio you want to the packaging would be adorable but

when it's three times as much as what you can get from a dealer, why would you spend that kind of money? idea of stakeholders, everyone in california has their hand up and they have been promised they'd be enriched by the canvas industry for essentially doing nothing and they are the ones lobby to keep the taxes in place and they are making the environment less safe. >> absolutely and as you noted, california did just pass a cultivation tax cut so out of the five or six taxes imposed on we will cannabis, they eliminated one and that is a good thing. legal cannabis is now selling $300 a pound in california and that cultivation tax was $160 a pound making it nearly impossible to cultivate cannabis profitably so it's a good thing cultivation tax was eliminated and i'll note all other states that have legal cannabis impose

that cultivation tax. no other agricultural commodity in california is subject to that tax so the good thing the canvas tax is gone but it hasn't solved the problem. legal cannabis in california is still subject to 15% excise tax and eight to 10% global excise tax, 10% sales tax and local cultivation manufacturing and distribution taxes so legal cannabis is still not cost competitive so although is a good thing they are eliminated, many folks in sacramento act as if the problem has been solved but it hasn't been. californians do much more to address that. kennedy: and i know your group is working to get on the ballot and hopefully there will be reforms because you want to keep people safe and the industry alive. it's a great tax base when there is not highway robbery.
