>> you know, it's some of the data points that we look at. we do see increased volatility. we do see economic activity that would lend to seeing some type of slowdown over the summer months. but whether interest rate as come down in the six six months or they remain where they are today, we're still very optimistic on where the economy's going. the economy's done quite well is and so has the market, and we're going to stick to that. taylor: well, that sounds like a pretty optimistic note to leave it on. tom, thank you so much for joining me. 15 seconds to those closing bells. again, new records for the s&p and the nasdaq. markets higher now closing out this it was a pleasure to be here. the claman countdown, stick around, kudlow is next. ♪ >> hello, everyone and welcome to a special edition of kudlow, i am david asman and for larry kudlow. joe biden facing growing

pressure from within his own party is more democrats call for him to drop out of the white house race amid a string of missteps and failures all over the world attempting to call the backlash. the president is holding a rally in belgrade, wisconsin and sitting down for a televised interview with abc, first since last week's business debate permits. reaction from congresswoman claudia any and russell fry in a couple of moments but first, we begin with grady trimble live inside with the latest on what's happening politically. >> of the kids an overstatement to say this evening and thweek ahead are possibly the most important days of president biden's decades long political career trying to assure voters and members of his own party still up for the job after the terrible debate performance last week. just wrapped up the rally in madison, wisconsin.

he spoke for about 20 minutes or so, much higher energy and much more forceful than his debate performance but the speech he gave is on the teleprompter so the real test is what you mentioned, his interview with george stephanopoulos after the rally should be happening any minute now, the first since the debate, unscripted and off the cut. despite growing calls for biden to step down and major donors jumping ship, he doesn't seem to be going anywhere, pretty defiant this afternoon in wisconsin. >> a lot of regulation. what is joe going to do? is he going to stay in the race? what is he going to do? is my answer -- i am running and going to win again. >> massachusetts government top biden surrogate out with this this afternoon saying the best way forward by now is a decision for the president to make over

the coming days i urge him to listen to the american people and carefully evaluate whether he remains are best hope to defeat donald trump. not exactly a show of support for the president from one of those democratic governors who was in the room at the white house with the president this week. next week will see the president and another unscripted setting, solo press conference during the nato summit, another make or break moment for the president's calls for him to step out of the race grow. >> i don't know if you can say stephanopoulos is unscripted because he's on the president died. we will see how it goes but a lot of convincing to do with george stephanopoulos. joining me now, new york congresswoman claudia tenney and russell fry. good to see you both. let's talk about the way the media is handling this because they were the ones cheering them

on and hiding a lot of information the public should have been aware of long before the debate happened but at least the debate did happen so we can see talking about george stephanopoulos, i want to talk about the way he dismissed, he really spoke poorly of anybody that suggested there were problems with biden's cognitive ability. here he is i believe about a year ago with nikki haley. roll tape. >> there's no way joe biden will finish his term. i think kamala harris will be the next president and that should send a chill up every american spine but also the fact that we have a primary -- >> one second. how do you know he will not finish his term, what is that based on? >> asked americans, do you think he will finish his term? do you think is going to finish what he started? we look at the decline is had over the last few years. >> that was only part of the wa.

it is here she was right and clear the media were wrong about all of this. i'm just wondering if you think we will hear anything new from tonight, it's pre-recorded and may only be 15 minutes. they claim they are not going to edit but i don't trust them, do you? >> no, the democrats along with the media on their team, the same team jersey interfering for a long time and covering up what joe biden is so they are exposed after what happened in the disastrous debate performance but the other problem is what did they do now? in a way they are locked in as president trump continues to ascend in the polls even higher especially in swing states were is going to matter. they've got to deal with this kamala harris problem and i don't think she's going to be any better on the ticket the biden, depends on who she

present as the vice president. the other thing that have, of oak harvesting machine they been putting in place since 2021 pursuant to an executive order joe biden put in place that task the agencies, the federal agencies across the nation to work third-party group to prime get the boat out so they can drag subpar candidates across the finish line are those of who they are. that's what the republicans have to worry about the most. election integrity, that's why we are fighting against and making sure currency and everybody knows what's going on. >> i think what the world has to worry about most, congressman frank, what's happening with commander-in-chief? he told the new york times to their credit, they have been questioning his abilities and editorializing maybe he should down but he told the new york times going to go to sleep

earlier, if he finishes duties by 8:00 p.m. and he will be okay. a lot of stuff happens between 8:00 p.m. and whenever the heck he wakes up in the morning and commander-in-chief has to be prepared for the 47. he's taking this job as a six hour a day job. >> i'm a freshman congressman and i know how robust my schedule is, representative any the same thing, i don't know how you could run an entire country, the biggest and best country in the world on six hours a day, i don't understand how you can do that functionally and when the media has been covering for this forever, they believed a lie, they said to lie enough times that they believe and they were surprised that the debate turned out the way it was. the american people were not surprised, we've seen this and talked about this for a long time but suddenly they are surprised and want to oust him

as their nominee. >> do you know who's not surprised? forgive me, we've known each other for so long but is not surprised apparently is staff, all of his close advisors, there was this article in new york magazine by olivia called the conspiracy of silence to protect joe biden. she's not a conservative, not a broke trump by any stretch but she goes on in the article with details that she's been collecting since january and i think she should have put them out after the debate when we saw what was going on but she says they are horrified, her words -- they are scared and horrified by what might happen when he's not there, not with it as we saw happens quite often during the debate and he asked, she says i may sound like a trump conspiracy theorist but who is in charge? who's been pulling the strings

behind the scenes? what you think? >> these are details, two big things going on, the democrats care about power and do it at all costs. number two, the biden family of joe biden's position literally everything to enrich the biden family, his position whether it senator vice president now president, they can't afford this position because you take him out, that's the great thing on enterprise gone so a lot of that is detailed and democrats are scrambling because they've been exposed. i worry about what -- if the american people will wake up and see they've been defrauding us and continue at the ballot box. people were stunned when betterment one pennsylvania when he had a stroke although he's coming around. they were able to get the boats in the box and want to do that, you can't turn them out. >> one thing we do know they may

not be in charge but at least part of the inside team, hunter biden. joe biden according to one report i believe in the new york times was helping biden this week right his response to the supreme court decision on presidential community. if all people, hunter biden is doing this. really? >> the ethically challenged son of a president whose continuing to have problem after problem outside of the white house and inside all of a sudden he's the advisor, it doesn't make sense to me. the conflict of interest this guy has, over 20 million at this time, conflict of interest, he should be nowhere near the white house but of course this is the judgment we have on our commander-in-chief and i do fear just about where we are that we need a commander-in-chief in the white house, not a scenario where this weekend at bernie's and somebody is propped up signing documents and somebody

asking him to sign, we need somebody in the white house delivering for the american people. that is my concern, you have all of these characters around him and who is really running the show? >> somebody else, you mentioned kamala harris in the white house doing stuff but she was part of this conspiracy of silence were talking about, the new york magazine is talking about and when her report came out suggesting biden was not mentally capable to withstand the trial and that's why he wouldn't indict the president for the documents case. here is what she had to say. >> the way that the president's demeanor in that report was characterized cannot be more wrong on the facts and clearly literally motivated. >> she's just too closely linked to biden. forget about her confidence in

everything but was part of this clear conspiracy of silence surrounding biden and has been for months if not years. >> they will not get her out of the way, if it's not biden, it's kamala harris but they will do everything they can to get bidel obstacles they have dealing with the delegates at the convention in the question is, are they going to be able to remove biden from these positions is already one concern states? they gave him a virtual boat which is a special action so if they released the delegates, almost anybody could come up and risk losing the only person, the political money go to his kamala harris so i don't see how they will call her out. >> you think it is either biden or kamala harris, there's nobody else who could fit the bill? >> i don't think legally they can. i'll see how you will remove kamala harris. i just don't see getting her out

of it and they got to raise the money in short order. if she does ascend, who would they put in as vp? that would be interesting to s see. >> do you agree either kamala or president biden box. >> i think that is the default. obviously after he accepts the nomination in august, there are different procedures there. if memory serves me correctly, based on the 50 state party chairs got this i don't know how you can remove her from that position, i think it is biden or kamala we will see. >> we are living through history. great to see you, i hope you had a wonderful july 4 and a great weekend. appreciate it. coming up, jobs report showing government growing like gangbusters but the biden sector is struggling to keep his head above water. is this really sustainable? less ask steve forbes when kudlow continues.

>> you love the bigger, more bad news for biden him access private sector industries are showing the job growth slowdown again in june. edward lawrence has more from the white house. >> and jobs are slowing down but this report expectations, the unemployment rate went to 4.1% mainly because more people came into the labor force which isn't necessarily bad but joe biden latched onto that in a statement he said we have more work to do but wages are growing faster than prices and more

americans are joining the workforce. wages are growing faster than prices short-term overall though real wage is down 2.2% from the month president biden came into office and the jobs report manufacturing costs 8000 jobs. the government sector led the way creating 70000 jobs. when talking with the labor secretary, i pushed her on the president's mental fitness. >> has been any conversation among the cabinet members invoking the amendment? >> that's absurd. we are talking about is recognizing we are in a moment where there have been incredible progress in the time we've been here and we want to keep building on it. >> the president has issues get into a 90 minute debate on the for the july, shouldn't there be a conversation about the 25th the memory? >> i was there as you said, an announcement. >> have you noticed a decline in the president from today from a

year ago, two years ago? >> would've noticed his his concerns remain consistent, they remain steady, the same concerns i have to make sure workers get a fair shake, real was on the job. >> you see she quickly deflected on the questions related to the president mental fitness and said the president and her meetings does not rely heavily on those cards. >> which is quite obvious that they are there although she seems like a nice lady so i don't want to bash of her too much. thank you very much. let's bring in steve forbes, media chairman and editor-in-chief and longtime friend and had one of the longest running shows on fox news. >> hosted by the best ever. >> i was fishing for confluence there. [laughter] >> no fishing for compliments here with this jobs report. yes, better-than-expected so given that much. the take-up and unemployment from people coming into the workforce which is not as that

but 70000 new government jobs, 70000 of 40000 last month, a loss of 8000 manufacturing jobs, loss of 17000 service jobs and retail jobs down 8.5 -- it sounds like taxpayers are paying for more government jobs primarily in the economy. the other thing to know is the two previous months have been revised downwards. >> how many times has it happened? like 14 out of the past 16 months. >> it's disturbing so you can't even take this number seriously. >> let me focus on that for a second. i used to cover mexico, we never believed any of the stats. name is true for china and russia. is that what we are becoming? is there an anomaly will in regard to the pandemic hangover or whatever?

>> seasonal adjustment, especially 2 million people crossing the border, millions of whom are going in the workforce and you see the numbers on the household survey missing that number of but the private sector is when you take revisions down with private sector jobs last month 136,000, see the revisions, up 50000 -- pathetic. millions are working part-time and also getting a job if unemployed starting to pick up is getting harder and wages went up, slower growth the last year. slightly ahead of inflation but most people when they pay interest charges don't feel it. >> still claims that he created 13 million jobs which most of which were jobs that came ba back -- bounced back after the shutdowns from the pandemic but i'm wondering if this is going according to plan for a lot of the people -- we now know clear from the articles from what we saw last thursday with the debate a week ago that somebody

else is pulling the strings are virtually everything. foreign policy, economic policy, are these people just socialists? they just want a government controlled economy? >> yes, it's bernie sanders in spirit in the white house. then doctor jill biden nicknamed missus wilson, she's calling a lot of the shots as well and that's why it will take a push from the outside. it will not happen inside for him to go but there's no way a person and not conditions, people think and run the free world especially as our adversaries are getting more adversarial. >> is not that we didn't vote but the americans don't like socialism. some stats polls say most democrats but most americans do not want a socialist economy so somebody is going against the will of the american people.

>> that's why the supreme court's decision on chevron which says you don't have to defer to bureaucrat interprets the law, it's up to the courts, when congress passed a law banning internal combustion engines then we are going to phase them out so they can afford. >> or natural gas stoves that they turned it off. >> so they know they can't get through the electorate so they do it by decree, modern socialism. he'll have to nationalize, just do it by regulation and they will pylon more. >> we are lucky enough to have somebody running against the socialist and the white house who believes in capitalism buildup a number of businesses himself, the british are so lucky. the conservative party lost huge to labor rights many of whom are really strict socialist and turned uk into a. socialist economy. the conservatives as i can see have gone in favor of green energy, against tax cuts.

they don't seem to help much with immigration. they seem to be anti- trump conservatives in england. is it any wonder they lost? >> ever since that are in the conservative party has been running away from her legacy because they thought she was to suffer something and they are disowning her legacy. turn written from britain's sick man of europe, the larger economy in europe doing better than the germans and they've turned their backs on it so -- >> patrick to her credit new -- a big fan of ronald reagan but advisors were not. had to be dragged kicking and screaming to tax cuts. >> it wasn't until seven years and power to finally get the tax cuts reagan got first term and had to wait seven years before the party to get huge tax cuts through but stuck with it and knew what she needed to do and

the conservatives should be sued for false advertising, not the conservative party and the collapse was the conservative vote. the labour party went from 32% to 34 from 43 to 23. >> with got to run but there's another element and that is nigel farage, huge share of the conservative because he does represent a change from that probe green, anti- tax-cut party. what does he do now? is he had the power to pull the conservatives together under his authority and turn them into a genuinely conservative party? >> is a platform and now the power of persuasion. say this is where the conservatives have to go, combine his vote with conservative vote and they would have one this last election. >> great stuff. great to see you. coming up, joe biden hit the campaign trail in wisconsin where recent polling shows a very tight race again. will voters really get biden

another shot after the failure bidenomics and disastrous debate performance? senate candidate eric joins us next to talk about it. ♪

joe biden in wisconsin today refusing to drop out and still touting the alleged success of bidenomics. will voters by that? your company running to flip the wisconsin senate seat. great to see you, by the way -- your opponent, tommy, the current senator in wisconsin skipped biden's event today. do you know why? >> senator baldwin literally two weeks ago said joe biden is the most accomplished president in generations. she has called him one of her best friends, voted with him

95.5% of the time and now after the disastrous debate she can't be found, doesn't want to talk about his record and she's hiding but she's running and hiding on the main issues on what biden and baldwin have done the economy, what they've done to our open borders, what they've done to our healthcare, what they've done to international standing so that is senator baldwin, she's often hiding. >> voters, for example -- a tight race now, a tight race in 2020 and a tight race in 2016. it really is tight, do you think he's going -- four months before the election, can't hide on the biden issue forever unless there is a change in which case she could make a pivot the democratic party but if biden does turn out to be the nominee and the one running against trump, how to see avoid him

until the election? >> i don't think you can. the whole party is wrestling with that issue, what did they do? you see parts of the media crack and parts of the party crack but if he holds then they will have to rally around him and try to tell everybody you didn't see what you saw or didn't hear what you heard the night at the debate but the reality is sadly, as we all know, joe biden has failed this country and it's not just his mental health and capabilities, it's what he's done to our economy. you are talking, the reality under president trump, real wages adjusted for inflation rose by 7.7%. under joe biden and tammy baldwin, they declined by 2.2%. those are real impacts and harming the middle class and working class in this country so she can try to run and hide but

the reality is, they are going to have to pick a nominee if joe biden is it, she's going to have to embrace them as some time and if it ends up being kamala harris and she's going to have to align herself with kamala harris. >> did voters in wisconsin realize even if you acknowledge the fact, even if you are willing to acknowledge that biden has cognitive problems, it's not those problems that cause the mess we are in, it's policies that cause the mess. whoever is pulling the strings inside the white house is putting our country, our economy, our borders, the whole whole effect we have on the world situation in danger. do wisconsin voters understand that? policies need to change if you want america to change. >> i think they do. when i'm out there campaigning, i'm talking to people all the time. it's amazing the ship we see with younger people. i've heard stories of the people

saying i'm working two jobs working at the time and still live with my parents. the black community a lot, they are upset about our open borders and the crime problems. hispanic community like everybody else are getting hammered by inflation and some of the social policies the left has pushed via defund police. all these issues are mattering to the people of wisconsin so the polls i think are wrong and why do i say that? if you look at where president trump was before the 16 hand 20 election he was down five to six points in both cases and in one case he won and the other he lost by the hair. let me just quickly -- we got to wrap the quickly talk about your

race, the incumbency has a lot of power whether it's the president's incumbency for the woman you are running against to be next senator from wisconsin. you are down five, you were down five -- i think it was the last pull just before the debate, that might have changed things but you are down 5%, how you turn it around? >> continuing to talk about the issues. there's a lot of holes, the momentum is moving in my direction against a politician so if i can win the senate seat against one of the most progressive left politicians who is aligned completely with the progressive socialist wing of our party than i can only change the control and senate for the next two years but potentially the next four and six years so i appreciate any support by your voters, i had more attack by chuck schumer that any republican senate and the and i'm gaining on her and things are looking good.

>> and ask, best of luck to you. thank you for being here. have a great july 4 weekend. >> a wonderful weekend. >> president trump and his campaign pretty much stayed disciplined. mostly letting democrats implode on their own and not getting in the way. joining me to talk about it, founder and ceo of american majority and doug collins, former georgia congressman host of the dead collins all caps. the debate was a primary exa example, trump himself displayed and enormous amount of discipline despite standing b back, listening to donald trump or joe biden wrap himself into pretzels trying to say things in the end that made no sense at all. do you think he can continue to do that, lay back and that the democrats continue to stew in their own a lot of trouble? >> it's a positive sign we see right now. of course i think trump has taken bad manners to interrupt

your opponent while self-destructing but the tone is set in march of 2021 and the reason i say that is that's when donald trump got back susie wiles and i think you see susie wiles fingerprints on this discipline shown by the trump campaign across all fronts and i think that's because trump trust susie because she has his best interest in mind and think there is a trust relationship that's developed and susie has a quiet disciplined approach to have a hand campaign is being managed and i think trump is seeing that and realize susie has my best interest in mind and i think that's what you see play out right now, extremely positive sign but i will say this, it's july. you do not win presidential campaigns in july, he went in november and there's a lot of work that has to be done. >> such a seminal event the debate last week and have been a number of poles done after the

debate itself. the big three by the way, the three biggest -- three of the biggest media companies around cnn, wall street, new york times, all of them agree that trump is leading by six points. that's way out of the margin of error so how long do you think it lasts? is there a chance that biden, if biden is the candidate in november, is there a chance that those figures might stay the same or change and how? >> a couple of things, i agree if i was a trump voter, i get out everybody you can to vote. this is nowhere close to being over and i heard too many republicans get happy since the debate but really the thing for biden's problem was not necessarily the way, the biden problem is exasperated is how he's handle it postdebate not contacting you because of the hill or dealing with chuck schumer which is fine with me, keep messing up. as we said, when somebody is

contemplating political suicide, you had to push them with the discipline of the campaign is the thing that going to win now. people see the difference, it's very clear from thursday night and donald trump just has to say look, i have four years you are better off. you see this happening, we are worse off and then be prepared in case something does happen the biden but right now i think you will hold, every trump voter needs to get out there and do like the campaign is doing, be disciplined, knock on doors, get out the vote because that's the only thing that will not win november. >> what happens if it's kamala? what happens if biden does step down and kamala stepped up to the plate? how would you go after her? >> i think she is weaker candidate, i saw a quote from the democrat make a donor the other day, comatose biden is better than kamala harris so there's a lot of questions whether she will be the nominee but the polls look great, still

four months out. this will come down to six or seven states and we've been talking about biden in wisc wisconsin. they brought back ballot box today, i think it will not come down whether the quality of the candidates degree weather comatose biden or kamala harris will come down, can you collect more ballasts in the biden campaign? i certainly hope the trump campaign and our it's he and others are focused on the six or seven states like wisconsin that are going to decide the white house, take this momentum and get people doing the right thing requesting absentee ballots and chase the ballot home to no less than 80%, hopefully 85%. >> do you have any reason to suspect trump team is not up to it? they may not be doing that due diligence in those key races? >> the thing that gives me hope is susie wiles comes out of florida and the florida gop has committed to chase so i know had they have the right mindset, the question is do they have the

right focus in the right place to accomplish everything they need to? >> there's a big event happening in august, the democratic convention in chicago and we remember 1968 if you don't remember it yourself, you read about it. you look at what happened last night july 4 when american flags were being burned in the street all over america, new york had a number of these protests, i call them riots because they were, people were attacked and one guy wearing an american flag was attacked. they were pro- hamas. if that happens in a big way and chicago during the convention, is it all over for democrats? >> it could be because it shows are not bringing in the boat they need in places like michigan and other places, there's a true ideological break with that far radical left that you see here and even kamala harris and joe biden, they will not bring that back. that is the problem they've had.

people have problems with trump, typically it's about style or other things they like his policies. they will vote for the policies. the other side, these protests are showing 68 in chicago, it shows that they do not like what the biden administration they feel were promised to them and they went back on it so the got a real problem. >> what it does is connect to chaos that this administration -- talking about donald trump and chaos, what we have at the border but chaos? city streets but chaos. we have in europe and the far east -- it brings that chaos together, these riots we see in the streets like nothing else. we got to leave it at that. great to see you. friday after july 4 is a difficult they do have a date like this, appreciate you making it. running up, no one wants ev so why are biden and the democrats still pushing their mandates

california started attempting to sell its remaining ev's for about $14000, 80% of its original price. this is a new study from mckinsey showing the half of american ev owners want to switch back to gas powered vehicles. joining me now, alex epstein founder and ceo of the center for industrial progress. great to see you, thank you for being here. what the heck is going on with biden's ev push? the mandates simply are working, why not? >> that's true and just note there are different estimates getting better and better as to how much we are subsidizing ev's and we are getting estimates of 20000, 30,000, $40000 a car because it's not just the direct subsidies we pay for things like inflation reduction act. it's all sorts of crazy credits behind the scenes that allow automakers to lose billions of dollars on tvs but make them up from the sales gasoline powered

vehicles. imagine they want getting 30,000 dollars plus yet even when they get 30,000 plus in subsidies, they are ill having trouble winning over americans and the reason is for most people at this time they are not the most cost-effective option in biden's policy is government dictated green energy and they think if we want people to want ev's and put pressure on them, they will get them and they are holding a gun to our head partially but even that's not old enough so i guess they have to dictate us for throw us in jail. >> but the bottom line however they can work it out, mandates are based on fantasy, i tried to explain the transportation secretary pete buttigieg when i had him on december the cold snap eliminated tvs from people's minds because it didn't work as well in chicago and places like that but let me say that tape from december of last year with pete buttigieg.

>> i don't know a lot of people who think americans in 2050 are still going to be driving the old technology and combustion technology -- >> americans -- >> you are not going to meet a lot of people who go back after they've gone electric and that tells you something. >> what we know now is not only anecdotal information about what happened in chicago but with this mckinsey report that shows almost half of ev owners say they are going back to gas powered cars so i'm not just saying it to prove that i was right and he was wrong but the bottom line is the whole policy is based on the wrong premise, america's preferring ev's, even americans don't. >> charitable to say they believed americans because if you believe americans prefer it and why you need to force them to do it? why can't they let the market

evolve? i'm in favor of ev freedom so if you can make ev's more cost-effective than gasoline powered vehicles, great. i'll buy one but it's common sense things these people ignore which is they don't have the same range and spend more time charging them, it's not the same -- common sense. >> very little -- go ahead. >> consumers are making obvious decisions. consumers want something better than a gasoline car and they are getting something worse so they are not that excited. >> at the same time but he has to appeal to voters in one way he has to is to somehow get gasoline prices down so still pushing claim for net zero while the same time killing fossil fuels. you can't combine the two, they don't go together, do that? >> we have this incident where biden is releasing an amount of oil from the teacher gasoline
