beginning of the year. we expected the fed to be more aggressive and they have now finally cut inflation is sort of temping itself down a little bit so these headwinds we've been facing get weaker and weaker you can become a little bit more aggressive on the overall market. i think the key thing to watch more than anything is are the jobs numbers, because there seems to be some weakness there and i think that's probably why the fed went 50 on their first cut and i wouldn't be surprised to see them going another 50 before the year is over. >> [closing bell ringing] liz: tomorrow along with second revision for second quarter gdp. markets could move dow snaps a four day win streak, s&p, russel and dow transports in the red we'll see you tomorrow. larry: hello folks, i'm larry kudlow. kamala harris unveiling her third new economic plan but no

matter what she says it's a copy and paste job of joe biden. meanwhile donald trump unleashed his new american industrialism plan. we've got john carney and senator kevin cramer on that whole story but first up our own intrepid grady trimble live from washington. intrepid, grady, what you got? reporter: larry we're monitoring this speech from vice president harris in pittsburgh. she's speaking right now, and i'll be honest with you. so far i haven't heard a lot of substantive policy proposals that are anything different from what we've heard from her already. its been sort of a long build-up from the vice president discussing her own middle class upbringing, relating that to the struggles americans are facing today because of high prices, and as you know, she blames companies for price gouging so she's reiterated that she wants to go after them for that. she has reiterated her support for a $6,000 child tax credit. the fact she wants to build 3 million new homes, go after landlords for raising

rent, $25,000 in down payment assistance, but again, none of this is new so maybe she'll get to that as she continues the build-up in this speech but one part that stood out to me, larry, is this sound bite i'm about to play because she's clearly trying to refute attacks from former president trump and other republicans who have been out there calling her a socialist. >> look, i am a capitalist. i believe in free and fair market. >> [applause] >> i believe inconsistent and transparent rules of the road to create a stable business environment. and i know the power of american innovation. reporter: in his own speech this afternoon, in another swing state, north carolina, former president trump reiterated his plans to boost us manufacturing by lowering corporate taxes. vice president harris wants to

raise them. he also says he's going to cut energy costs, and he has plans to hit companies that import from countries like mexico with massive tariffs. even before vice president harris took the stage this afternoon, trump already had a rebuttal to her economic plan. >> she didn't support domestic manufacturing. she killed 24,000 us manufacturing jobs in the last month alone. we lost 24,000 jobs. kamala goes to work everyday in the white house. families are suffering now, so if she has a plan, she should stop grandstanding and do it. just do it. you have a few months left. do it. reporter: and our latest polling shows that former president trump has a five-point lead over vice president harris on this issue. the most important of this election, the economy. so maybe if harris keeps doing speeches like the one she's giving right now she will be

able to eat into that lead? larry? larry: grady trimble i don't know if you're old enough to remember richard nixon and his famous speech "i'm not a crook"? reporter: i've read it in history books. larry: i'm very proud of you. that's like saying i'm a capitalist. thank you very much for your reporting. now folks if deer & company wants lower taxes, they should get with the new trump program. that's the subject of the rif so while kamala harris unveils her third economic plan in just two months of campaigning and it's essentially going to be a cut and paste job from bidenomics over the past three and a half years. donald trump in north carolina built upon his bold, big bang, america first manufacturing plan that he calls the new american industrialism. here is a quick clip from mr. trump today in carolina. take a listen, please. >> here is the deal that i will be offering to every major

company and manufacturer within our country. i will give you the lowest taxes, the lowest energy cost, i will cut your energy in half. the lowest regulatory burden, and free access to the best and biggest market. larry: all right, the center piece in this plan, slashing the business tax rate from 21 to 15%, so long as the products are made in the usa. mr. trump also promises 100% write-off for machinery and equipment along with a major 10:1 deregulation plan, drill, baby drill, to slash energy costs and by the way, here is a very important little add-on that he offered today regarding the us dollar. take a listen, please. >> if i'm elected president we will have the world's reserve currency in better shape and order and every country will follow it and if they don't, we

will put tariffs or that country and we won't trade with that country. larry: so for those of our friends on wall street who believe trump wants cheap money, and a sinking dollar, think again. a sound and steady dollar was in the trump rnc platform and he repeated that at the new york economics club. now this is a major economic growth blueprint. now, here's what won't work for mr. trump and i'm going to completely agree. deer & company is thinking about moving much of their manufacturing businesses to mexico. this is not what trump wants. it is not america-first. it's uncharacteristically sneaky attempt by a grand old company to dodge the umca trade deal, lay off american workers, and then still try to pay lower taxes. now, our friends at the "wall street journal" don't like the fact that mr. trump publicly

threatened deere with a 200% tariff, if they try to sneak into mexico, but i believe with all respect, the journal is wrong. trump is offering deere and any other company producing in america a massive and profitable cost cutting plan. just think of it. lower taxes, lower regulations, cheaper energy, lower inflation, and a sound dollar. now these are enormous america-first on-shoring incentives. this trump plan will put america first in the global race for capital. after all, why should trump policy reward deere's corporate income statement or its balance sheet at their moline, illinois headquarters while they slip away to mexico in order to close plants and kill jobs here in the us? of course us manufacturers compete in global markets but mr. trump whole industrialism

plan would slash labor across-the-board and make america ultra-competitive in worldwide competition and with an ultra-low 15% tax rate, real wage increases be so substantial that deere and other companies in all likelihood wouldn't be faced with costly labor agreements. mr. trump is more than willing to use tariffs as a tool to promote american economic security and national security. he is a master negotiator. he is offering tremendous new incentives for job and wage-enhancing business activity. deere is a grand old company but it should play by the new rules. that's the rif for tonight. all right joining me now john carney, breitbart economics and finance editor and co-author of breitbart business digest and north carolina senator kevin cramer.

gentlemen, welcome, welcome. mr. kramer i want to start, i mean, we'll start of get to kamala's plan, whatever the plan may be. yes she's a capitalist, of course she is, maybe a big government socialist but i'll leave that discussion. i want to ask you though, i don't think trump is wrong. i think if he's offering american businesses a 15% tax rate, 100% expensing, deregulation, lower energy costs and a sound and stable dollar all of which will help to curb inflation and so forth and so on, why shouldn't american business get with the program and play by these rules rather than running off to mexico or some place else? i mean, if you're going to go to mexico then you shouldn't get the tax cuts, that's for sure, and why should you leave america in the first place, senator cramer? >> i think it makes perfect sense, larry. i mean, he has teed it up so beautifully for any american company to do more in the united

states. why wouldn't he demand that they do it in the united states? and deere & company is a great company, we're obviously familiar with them in north dakota. a lot of the products are made in north dakota. the one area of all of this that is of course workforce and that's where maybe a mexico plant of some sort may fit in at some point, but at this point, you're right. lower taxes. i mean the cost of energy, as an input, imagine that. and quite honestly, larry, i think you agree with me. regulations are the worst tax of all of them, and if he can reduce regulations, there's no reason to go anywhere else in the world, but the united states of america. assuming we can get the workforce they need. larry: well look, i mean, i think john carney let me just ask you about this. i want to talk about trump's plan in general and we'll have a little bit about kamala, but you know, i think my friends, look the "wall street journal" editorial page, dear friends of

mine, usually right. this one is wrong. trump's offering tremendous concessions here to business. all right? not concessions, let me change the word. incentives. he's offering incentives to produce, to invest, to hire, to raise wages, okay, for improved productivity. they can't walk away from that and expect to get these incentives at the same time? >> and what donald trump is saying is that we had setup an economic system to the was basically paying companies to ship jobs overseas. he's saying let's put an end to that. we will have tremendous tax breaks if you do your manufacturing here in the us. that makes a lot of sense. look the rest of the world actually already follows this policy. they give you breaks if you manufacture in their country. he's saying no more of this one sided trade. we are going to make sure that americans can get jobs for american companies by giving them the right regulatory environment, the right energy

policy, and the right tax policy. larry: he's giving companies a gift and he's giving companies all around the world incentive to come to america. >> and investors all around the world. as you said the race for global capital. people will see it make sense to pour money into us manufacturing because the after-tax rewards will be so great, it will be irresistible. we're going to be a magnet for global capital as we rebuild manufacturing in the us. larry: senator cramer there's another kind of sideline here, almost a back story. as you know, mr. trump is a master negotiator and as you also know, he is willing to use tariffs. he will use tariffs for economic reasons, for trade reasons, but he'll use tariffs for non-trade reasons. we will use tariffs for example, to close the border. remain in mexico, which was so successful, and slash the illegal immigrants coming

across the border. that was done as part of a tariff threat to mexico, and i think he's demonstrating this again. i mean, tariffs may be a dirty word to some people but i don't know. they can be quite useful if used properly. >> well, larry, to your point about national security issue. wouldn't you rather use the peaceful tools of economic incentives to include a stick like tariffs rather than kinetic wars, weapons of war? i mean, literally, what you're talking about is serious business, and you can use these economic incentives and sticks to really take chaos and turn it into calm certainly on our continent and i'd say worldwide. he's a master negotiator because he understands leverage and what he understands about leverage is that we have a lot of it. we're the consumers of the world, larry. we have the big, the big you

know, investment opportunities and capital that's looking for a place to invest. he doesn't need to apologize for anything. larry: senator cramer he will make this country the most competitive country in the world, all right? he will. that's what his aim is. and he's doing it with tariffs and sticks, okay? the carrots are the taxes an be. now, i don't know. i think that's commo sure is bae from and i come from the center of common sense, the center of the north american continent. larry: john carney, one other little sub-heading here. his statement today about the dollar is the world's reserve currency. now that was in the platform at the rnc, right? that was in the new york economics club speech. here he says it again. i don't think he mentioned it yesterday, but he mentioned it again today. now, if the presidential candidate keeps saying repeatedly that i'm going to keep the dollar as the world's

reserve currency, i would say he will keep the dollar as the world's reserve currency. >> absolutely, he's absolutely clear about this the entire time yet as you pointed out, wall street is convinced that somehow trump is a weak dollar guy, that he wants to see the dollar value fall. he's said no that's not part of the program, and actually what he's explaining here should strengthen the dollar, because it will make investing in the us more attractive, which actually then boosts demand for the dollar, which raises the value of the dollar, so he is actually putting, you used to say all the time, king dollar, into the world economy, and not advocating aishah hasnie lot of a a lot of peoplewill say. if you combine tariffs with tax cuts, you don't weaken the dollar you in fact strengthen it. larry: senator cramer, carney makes a good point. after all tariffs and tax cuts. i don't know. i think it's an interesting combination. it's a bit unorthodox in terms of the economics profession, but who cares about the economics

profession. i mean, everything trump is doing would make this country faster-growing, better wages, higher productivity, powering for a.i., right? we need more electricity. he certainly doesn't want to end fracking or anything crazy like that. to me, there's something for everybody here. it's a very bold plan. that's what i'm getting at and if he wants to use tariffs to enforce it, if some companies want to try to, i don't know, i don't like to use the word sneaky with deere. it's a grand old company but i hate to see them even talk about mexico. look what they're getting here, senator cramer. that's what i'm saying. >> no, you're exactly right. it raises the quality of life for everybody. it raises the standard of living for everybody, and the reality is you refer to tariffs as an enforcement tool. that's the right term because at the end of the day, at least nine times out of 10 you won't ever need to use them.

just the threat of them will inspire and incentivize the right behavior that grows our economy, raises the tide which will raise all votes and that includes not just the people that own the buildings, but the people that the electricians, the maintenance workers, even the people that clean the building. they will all enjoy a higher-quality of life under his plan. larry: john carney, i just want to ask you. we're seeing a big drop. not a little drop. a big drop in consumer confidence and business confidence. what's that mean? >> people are very worried about what's happening. the fed just cut interest rates first of all by 50 basis points. they did not do this because everything is going well with the economy. they are worried about the labor market s softening. the differential between the amount of people who say jobs are hard to get and jobs are easy to get contracted a lot in the last couple months. people are worried about the labor market. that is very often the way into

a recession. you get worried you'll lose your job. then you stop spending. that causes an economic contraction. that's what's happening with the consumer confidence. larry: housing starts and sales way down. way down, very disappointing today. that is again not just people but businesses. we saw this also in the pmi numbers out of s&p global. businesses are more worried about the future than they have been in a while. i don't think it's a coincidence this worry has come with kamala harris rising in the polls because if she wins the economy is in a lot of trouble. larry: we shall see john carney of breitbart and senator kevin cramer, thank you, sir we appreciate it very very much. all right folks coming up, why is kamala harris snubbing new york catholic charities aka we're going to talk about that and some other things with former speaker of the house the great newt gingrich up next. i'm kudlow.

the moment i met him i knew he was my soulmate. "soulmates." soulmate! [giggles] why do you need me? [laughs sarcastically] but then we switched to t-mobile 5g home internet. and now his attention is spent elsewhere. but i'm thinking of her the whole time. that's so much worse. why is that thing in bed with you? this is where it gets the best signal from the cell tower! i've tried everywhere else in the house! there's always a new excuse. well if we got xfinity you wouldn't have to mess around with the connection. therapy's tough, huh? -mmm. it's like a lot about me. [laughs] a home router should never be a home wrecker. oo this is a good book title. >> we're disappointed. we were looking forward to giving the vice president an enthusiastic welcome. we're not used to this. we don't know how to handle it. this hasn't happened in 40 years since walter mondale turned down

the invitation and he lost 49-50 states. larry: oh, no sorry. boy, cardinal dolan. joining us is newt gingrich, former speaker of the house, great friend, fox news contributor. i may sneeze from allergies in the middle of this segment. newt, welcome back. u.n. ambassador kalista, i mean, i think there's a problem here with some anti-catholic bias, okay? in the kamala harris decision not to go to the dinner. it's for catholic charities and as you heard this hasn't happened in 40 years that was walter mondale, he lost 49 states. i want to get your take on this and to fracking and other things but i just don't want to let this go by because this is a big event and an event that's really going to hurt the vice president. >> well first of all, we both really like cardinal dolan and have always enjoyed visiting

with him and he's got quite a sense of humor and i'm not surprised that he took a little swing there. the truth is that i think she's afraid to go to the ousmith dinner. she's the most anti-catholic presidential candidate since james g. blayne in 1880 and all of the anti-catholic laws were called blayne laws so you can imagine how strongly he was. look when she was a senator she's interviewing in public in a senateorial hearing nominees who are catholic and she says you belong to the nights of columbus so that's over 2 million people voluntarily getting involved, you know, and pancakes on saturday morning to raise money for charity. the idea that there was somehow something mysterious about this whole catholic thing. you could tell she has an edge. many people on the left dislike the catholic church because it is the bull work of belief in

right to life and it's the bull work of belief in god and it's the bull work in belief that in fact our job is to try to understand what god wants us to do, not try to become gods of our own, so there's a huge underlying hostility between the left and organized religion. by the way, her vice presidential candidate as governor closed every single church in minnesota during covid, but allowed the mall of the americas to stay open so you could have retail therapy. larry: right. >> i don't know how much more anti-religious you could be than tim walz. larry: the other thing is look, donald trump put out a flier on this obviously, but the biden-harris administration took after the little sisters of the poor. on easter, on easter, they declared transgender day of visibility. i mean, i don't want to get into

transgender day good or bad but on easter which is the the holychristian day of the year in effect that was a slap in the face. of all tradition, i mean you're right. you know it's a god of your choosing. it's a higher power. why the left seems to always be completely opposed to that and i had vivek ramaswamy on yesterday talking about this very subject. how can you envision a world. how can you envision an america that has no higher power, that has no god of your choosing, that has no religious or spiritual concepts and values. i mean, that just doesn't make any sense. >> well and remember, the ambassador of the vatican refused to put up the gay pride flag on the ground so it's a direct insult to the vatican and the beliefs of the pope. the minute we left and the minute biden took over they put up the gay pride flag.

the necessity to insult you, to go into your space, to make you submit to whatever their latest wacky idea is, and i'll guarantee you both tim walz and kamala harris have a deep instinct for making the rest of us subordinate to their weird ideas. larry: i know you wrote a good piece on harris' bait and switch on fracking. really, newt. on this whole subject of fracking, you don't have to be for a ban on fracking if your red and green new deal type policies you want to end natural gas and you want to edema end gas-powered stoves and gasoline powered cars. that's a ban on fracking isn't it? >> look, obama really gave them the secret formula when he spoke to the san francisco chronicle in 2008 and he said oh, you can open up a coal mine. just under my administration

you'll do ban go bankrupt but wy are saying is every method they can they are eliminating natural gas. they tried to out law having a gas stove. well there's no market, you're not going to, you don't have to ban it. they just make it impossible financially. now this really matters in pennsylvania because two of the four largest natural gas deposits in the entire world are in western pennsylvania and represent billions and billions of dollars of assets. people make money off royalties. they make money off jobs, and remember, natural gas is dramatically less expensive as a way of creating electricity and also, does less damage to the environment and we're going to have with the rise of artificial intelligence, we're going to have an enormous requirement for far more electricity than we've ever had before. nobody on the left is looking at this , and if they have their policies, they will lead us into a crisis within four or five

years and which we will not be able to produce the kind of electricity you need in order to sustain the scale of computing that the modern world is going to require. larry: yes, sir, newt gingrich as always thank you for your wisdom. we appreciate it very much. best to ambassador kalista. coming up on kudlow, joe biden is leaving his successor a world of disorder, and in fact, donald trump is worried iran would like to assassinate him and we'll about this with the secretary of state mike pompeo on set in just a moment, and kudlow is available as a podcast on spotify, apple, and fox business podcast.com. i've got to get out so i can sneeze again, i'm sorry we'll be right back.

>> no threat will shake me. no enemy will intimidate me and

i have -- >> [applause] >> i have never been more determined than i am today and i to make america great again. larry: all right there you have it. tough talk from mr. trump. joining us now on set mike pompeo, secretary of state fox news contributor. mike, thank you very much for this. you have a running a piece on fox digital. iran supports kamala harris but you're also concerned. you think iran is trying to assassinate trump? >> i don't think there's any doubt about that that the iranians are serious about interfering on our election impacting the outcome and that they want to gain what they would describe as vengeance for the death of soulemani, so whether it's president trump or me or one of the senior military leaders they are determined to do that and so we've had two assassination attempts.

i couldn't tell you if they are connected to this iranian activity but i know the fbi is working on it and they have seen it this is where the iranians are definitely coming after american senior leaders and we know they have stolen information from the trump campaign, attempted at least to provide it to the harris campaign and the biden campaign. they are fully active and they will be these last six weeks as well. larry: and they have always threatened you. and you have still have secret service protection? >> that's right the state department provides protection. they have come after me a couple of times. they know that what we did in our administration was take the hard actions that tough people have to take to protect america that put them in the penalty box and we had them almost and you were part of this too, an economic model that put real pressure on the regime itself and they don't want to see that come back because they know they were less secure and it was a more dangerous world for them instead of for us when president trump was in office. larry: you do think they would prefer kamala harris as the next

president? >> think about the two models. there's the obama biden-harris mobiden-harrismodel, and pay foo be returned, tell the israelis to stand down and demand a cease-fire when hamas and the terrorists are trying to kill them and then the model we had which was to put maximum pressure on them, deny them the resources to fund hezbollah and the huthis, to put pressure on their nuclear program because they just didn't have the money to support it but there's no doubt which made their world a better place and ours less so. larry: you know, secretary, biden's speech yesterday at the u.n. among many things he said, "the world must end this era of war" which i find quite remarkable. appeasement is a catalyst for that era of war. when you and mr. trump left office, the world was at peace. now, suddenly the world is on fire. i don't think that's a

coincidence. >> no it's not a coincidence. these bad guys, whether it's xi-jinping or vladimir putin or north korea they understand one thing, power and to go to the u.n. and say gosh these things must end as if you're a fifth grade bystander, as gosh i sure hope this all ends. when you tell, um, hamas that you're demanding israel stand down, when you tell the ukrainians you can't fire into certain target sets you are telling the bad guys you aren't prepared to defend the things that matter and one thing we were good in the trump administration, we didn't send marine divisions around the world. we used american power at its most fundamental, economic basis, american power in terms of diplomatic and military leverage, with without putting our young boys and girls at risk and president biden and i think president harris would take the same appeasement weakness path and that creates escalation and risk every time. ronald reagan had it right.

president obama, biden and president harris all have it wrong. larry: you know, walter russel mead, very distinguished academic, writing every single diplomatic initiative by mr. biden. afghanistan which was a catastrophe. the threats about ukraine that putin completely ignored. the iranian situation you're describing. every diplomatic initiative failed. one after another after another, including israel, including saudi arabia, including ignoring the abraham accord when they first came into office. this is stuff that mr. trump and you put in place. it was right there for them and they threw it out the window and look what happened. >> i read the piece that walter russel meade wrote. he captured it exactly right. he captured the perception the bad guys would have. i'd add to that our southern border. a huge national security risk having now millions of people in our country that we have no idea who the heck they are.

we could all wake up to a really bad morning, some day, when some terrorist who infiltrated our southern border because president biden gave up what the trump administration had put in place there, that had caused illegal immigration to dwindle. this is a national security failure in the same way that afghanistan is a failure, the same way the war in europe is a failure and the same way the war on going in the middle east is a failure today. larry: and i don't want to be mundane about it but you talk about defense, military. the bidens cut the military budget year after year in real terms. as i track the gdp with the cbo baseline we'll fall well below of 3% of gdp. when i was a young man, assistant budget director for ronald reagan, when he was crusading against soviet communism e this world that's on fire. we're going to have to raise defense spending. the bidens won't. i do not believe ms. harris will either. >> the fact of the matter is that not only have we seen these strategic failures in

the moment, but they have also put us on our back foot in terms of long range strategic preparedness, so think about the space force that president trump created. the resources in place to back that up. we have a navy that is smaller than its been in an awfully long time. they have now told our allies and friends around the world we can't be trusted. those command increased resources and there's no chance that a president harris would ever put those resources in place. larry: just to square the circle at the end here, last word. i mean, no wonder iran thinks it can getaway with interfering with our elections and literally, coming after our leaders. >> no one has posed any costs on any of our adversaries and when you don't do that and you're not prepared to do it and all you talk about is the things you won't do, when you talk about the things you won't do and fear of escalation the bad guys drive a truck threw that larry. larry: unbelievable, secretary, appreciate it thanks ever so much. folks switching gears there's a

new senate report laying out the details of the failure of the secret service. both in butler, pennsylvania and also more recently in the trump golf course in florida. joining me now to talk about it, richard staropoli. i blew it the last time. it's terrible i apologize. anyway, he knows, he's a former secret service agent and anyway, failed to stop this. what's in here that we should know about? is there anything new in here? i have some thoughts on the matter but i don't into what you know. >> i think the key feature this report brings out is the level of negligence and incompetence that not only is permeated the senior leadership but made its way all the way down to the field. when you have situations where you've got a sniper who works for law enforcement agency that gives him the green light and the sole authority to fire a shot yet doesn't have enough common sense when he's standing

on a perch somewhere and sees a bunch of cops running across the lawn pointing their guns doesn't have enough common sense to tell somebody hey, hold the president where he is. the police are working something. we don't know what it is yet, but it's not safe to come out yet and when he's asked about that he says it never occurred to tell anyone, that speaks volumes about the mindset of what we're dealing with the in the field. larry: you know, there's a lot i don't understand here and probably never will. you will understand, but look. the leadership is a big problem. that's right. >> yes, sir. larry: you've said that to other shows as well, but i think this report unveils there's very bad issues out in the field. one of the things was a field agent trying to communicate to the head of pittsburgh office that there were threat assessments or they thought about snipers on the roof and then this business about lack of training to run drones and they're making a toll free phone call. look i don't want to jump on it

because there are a lot of very brave men and women involved here. >> agree. larry: mr. trump is very gracious about the whole thing and he's the guy under fire but these are not good revelations. >> they certainly aren't and this reliance on the drone. one of the most effective things the secret service does is a repetition of effort in a number of different lanes, right? so if you can't put a human out on a post maybe we'll use a helicopter asset. there's a duplication of efforts so in case one thing fails, we've got something else we can rely on. to move away from using a helicopter, to move away from using an actual secret service agent, and replacing that with a drone simply doesn't work and this is how it played out. they could not get that drone in the air so in effect you aren't able to cover anything. yet if you continued with what made the secret service great to begin with. the most basic features that duplication of effort. the use of a human asset, you wouldn't have had that situation and you would have seen the guy on the roof. larry: i've heard intelligence

experts say something similar. there's no substitute for humans. human intelligence on the ground. there's just no substitute for it. last one, richard. is there a recruitment and training problem that goes along with the leadership problem? >> there has never been a recruitment problem with the secret service. secret service by virtual of being called the secret service kind of recruits itself. if anything there's always an issue. we've got too many applicants to process. the problem is when you have this paradigm shift and you want to talk about paradigm shift. let's talk about the former director who came in and clearly said, she doesn't want to continue recruiting in the matter in which the secret service has recruited. she wants to recruit under these dei initiatives, lower standards, bring in people that don't have a competency to do the job, may not have had a job to begin with. the secret service agent position cannot be someone's first time job. it wouldn't work and the hedge fund world, it doesn't work here at the secret service. larry: 15 seconds does trump

have adequate protection right now today, he's on the campaign trail. >> i don't think he does which is why he's covered behind bulletproof glass. it looks horrible. presents a bad image for the united states and that can not continue to happen. larry: richard staropoli, did i get it right? you're an expert and wonderful to come on set. thank you ever so much. >> thank you, sir. larry: folks we'll take a quick break and the great miranda devine of the new york post, she's got a brand new book out that unravels out the bidens sold out america. she's going to join me right here, miranda devine, on kudlow. thank you, richard. that work better together. like your workplace benefits and retirement savings. presentation looks great. thanks! thanks! voya provides tools that help you make the right investment and benefit choices so you can reach today's financial goals. that one! and look forward, to a more confident future.

biden's vice presidency. but that's not as much of a threat as what came afterwards. after we published those stories was the cover-up and when i started delving into it, our new york post story was censored on day one by big tech. we found out later on the fbi had pre-bunched the story. they had been spying on rudy giuliani. they knew what was coming and then it turns out the cia was involved in blocking and sabotaging part of the investigation into hunter biden in delaware that was going on into his tax crimes, and then in other ways the sort of invisible hand would reach out from the deep state to protect joe biden, his son hunter and his brother jim biden from the consequences of their reckless greed as they ricocheted around the world collecting millions of dollars based on joe biden, and you would think that once that evidence was uncovered that

there be repercussions but there weren't because you had these protector s. the blob. larry: the justice department was involved in that. >> the department of justice. larry: the fbi, the cia. yes the state department. the irs. larry: i met one of the great irs whistleblowers at your party last night. they are protecting essentially corruption, okay pay-for-play is that the deal? >> well they're protecting joe biden who is their puppet and has been since his earliest days in the senate. they want a president they can control which is like -- larry: the deep state. >> and that's why they are backing kamala harris. the very same people that have protected and covered up for joe biden all these years are also boosting and protecting kamala harris, and the reason is because donald trump is an existential threat but not to america, not to democracy, to them and their power that they wielded over presidents for a

very long time. larry: he will come in and start cleaning house left and right. he knows where the bodies are now. >> and he's uncontrollable. he is a man, he operates on first principles on foreign policy as well as everything else as you know. he looks at it from the point of view of a property developer from queens, who is practical, logical, sees a problem, wants to fix it in the most efficient way. larry: and not afraid to take actions. not afraid to fire people. >> yes but is not operating on an agenda created by someone else, by these people who really have the power. that's why he's a threat and they will do whatever it takes to ensure he doesn't win again. larry: go get the book folks the big guy by the great miranda devine. good luck on the book. folks i'll be right back with my last word.
