liz: because of the debt? >> the debt and deficits are out of control. we're going to have a debt ceiling, you know, debate. we're going to have a lot of spending debates in congress and the new president. so there's a lot of turbulence, i think, that will come out of that. people want an alternative to that situation. that's why they're buying gold, because no other currency is popular. europe, growth is too weak. japan just lost -- the ruling party just lost in an election. there's no alternative. liz: jan vanek, well, lots of alternatives right now whether it's gold or equities, even bitcoin. great to see you. thank you so much. we've called a record for the nasdaq. russell and the dow pulling back just a bit, the s&p up 11, transports up 19. that's going to do it for us. "the claman countdown" will be right back here tomorrow. " kudlow" is next. ♪ larry: hello, folks, welcome to

"kudlow," i'm larry kudlow. so president trump's new team of all-star allies front and center, hammering home his closing arguments. we've got kellyanne conway, rich lowry, liz peek if on that and much more in just a moment. vivek ramaswamy waiting in the wings. first up, fox news' bryan llenas live in bucks county, pennsylvania, with all the latest. bryan, what's cooking out there? >> reporter: yeah, larry, good afternoon. we've got some breaking news here in bucks county. you can see there are folks who are lined up to file for mail-in ballots. today is the last day to apply for a mail-in ballot, 5 p.m. deadline. it's also the last day you can take that mail-in ballot and completely turn it in in one fell swoop. well, they're supposed to close at 5 p.m., but the line here was cut off at 2:30 this afternoon. and there were people that we've spoken to who said that they feel disenfranchised because they thought the deadline was 5:00. some folks who said they won't be able to make it here on

election day and were turned away from this area here where they're able to apply for mail-in ballot and return it. the republican national committee has sent a letter to the department of state here in pennsylvania saying, quote, voters consistently report to us that at boards of elections offices across the commonwealth, they are told that computers are down, the site will be closing early. they're not accepting any more votes, and the mail ballots will not be counted. this is what the secretary of state, al schmidt, said about today's deadline across the commonwealth. >> last week the department of state asked counties to plan to ensure every registered voter who was in line by 5 p.m. today is provided with the opportunity to apply for and submit a mail ballot9 to application. >> reporter: so, again, these folks are being given the opportunity to apply for a mail-in ballot, but a lot of folks who have shown up today and we've also been told the about prior days, they thought they could apply for mail-in

ballot and turn the it in up until 5 p.m. today, and their being turned away early. this is important because republicans here in pennsylvania have been urging -- urging their voters to mail in their ballots, to vote early, something that democrats have traditionally done more than republicans. here's jim worthingington, an activist in bucks county. he believes this is a huge part of the republican strategy to turn this swing county red. >> we've got president trump to endorse it. i feel very proud of that that because i think i was a part of getting that done. and so now we have a strong vote-by-mail presence. will we quality them? no. but we were 4-1. we get it to to 2-1, lights out, game over, president trump a's the president. >> reporter: so, larry, we spoke to a voter who said that his wife is due on november 5th. he showed up here, he wanted to apply for a mail-in ballot and turn it in on the same day. he turned up, he was here at a

3:00 and was denied that opportunity. he now has to wait for a mail-in ballot to be sent to him and hope that he gets it in time to turn it in before election day. he's not sure his vote's going to count. he was a trump supporter: this is something for people who distrust the system, this is not helping, and we're seeing more and more of these reports on the ground as we're here. larry? larry: bryan, just tell me -- maybe i missed it. tell me again why they're closing down early, before 5:00, and forcing absentee ballots or whatever? if why is that? >> reporter: yeah. so, again, there is no real technical early voting in pennsylvania. they have what's called mail on demand which means you can fill in a mail-in ballot application in person and then turn the it in right will there and then as your vote. the reality is though that that deadline is 5 p.m. this is a county-by-county election here in the common if wealth. they don't have the resources -- commonwealth. they don't have the resources the stay any longer to help

these folks past 5:00, so they have to cut the line early because they don't have enough people to handle all the mail-in ballot applications and ballots at office. so they cut it at 2:30 today, and there are folks who are turning up here after 2:30 thinking they can turn in the ballot and fill out the application and are being denied. that's been happening for many day here at bucks county, and there have been examples across the commonwealth according to the republican national committee. larry: all right. i don't know what it exactly means. it doesn't sound very good, but thank you for the update. we appreciate, as always. all right, folks, kamala broke it and trump's got a new team to fix it. and that's the subject of the riff. ♪ ♪ larry: so are you better off than you were four years ago? many that's how donald trump began his speech at the remarkable event at madison square garden on sunday. think of it as a key closing argument. take a listen. >> and i'd like to begin by asking a very simple question,

are you better off now than you were four years ago? [background sounds] this will be america's new golden age -- [cheers and applause] it's gonna happen quickly too, very quickly. on issue after issue, kamala broke it but i will fix it. we're gonna fix it. [cheers and applause] larry: all right. kamala broke it, i will fix it. are you better off than you were four years ago. now, hang on, i've got three numbers from odd today a's "wall street journal" op-ed written by senators ted cruz and rick scott on the biden-harris affordability crisis. on wages, cars and houses. all right? kitchen table stuff. first, consumer prices in the, in u.s. cities are prison -- have risen 26% faster than private sector wages, okay? 26% faster. not good.

second, a family in january 202 the 21 paid on average -- 20 the 21 paid on average $11,579 to own a new car and cover the related costs of that car for the year. today same car, same related costs, $15,337, that's a 332% -- 32% price hike. and third, cost of owning and living in a home. $19,119 a year in early 2021 is now $36,736, that's a 99 32% -- 92% hike. and let me sneak in a fourth number from the senators. the annual cost of owning a new car and a new home is 70% higher today than it was four years ago. so when mr. trump asks are you better off than you were four years ago, the answer is a resounding no. just those three numbers. call it three and a half.

now, these are straightforward, kitchen table costs. nothing a fancy. they're the stuff of which middle class dreams are made of, the stuff that comprises the american dream for lower income folks trying to climb the ladder, young folks just starting out maybe, certainly middle income, hard hat, blue collar type folks who are just trying to live the good life. hat tip to the senators. they did a great piece. and on that same kitchen table, i want to add the proposition that kamala broke it and trump will fix it. now, this is another closing argument from mr. trump, and it's a very good one. he really has a whole new cast of people to the make sure that he, in fact, will implement his promises and fix the pop if -- the problems. i'm just going to read off system of the names on the new varsity team. j.d. vance, elon musk, vivek ramaswamy, robert f. kennedy jr., tulsi gabbard, byron donalds, hulk hogan and dana

white. now, there are a lot of others both new and old allies who are helping mr. trump. but this is an important representative group. now, from the madison square garden extravaganza, take a listen to one of the many great lines from sam pivot. here it comes. >> if you want to seal the border, vote trump. [applause] if you want to restore the law and order in this country, vote trump. if you want to grow the economy in this country, vote trump. if you want to revive national pride in this country, vote trump. donald trump is actually the president who will unite this country, actually. and we don't talk about that enough. larry: all right. vivek, it doesn't get much better than that. vivek's going to be here in just a few moments to talk about it some more. i had to the add dana white to the list because his ufc is attracting so many young voters to mr. trump. it's very, very important. and i added hulk hogan to the

list. no, i don't see hulk running the treasury department yet. but he's earned his keep by saying on sunday, no stinking nazis were at the garden on sunday. anyway, hulk hogan's pretty cool and so is donald trump. pretty cool with his new team and his strong closing arguments and his al smith speech and his rally in the south bronx and his barbershop visits and his extra salt on the mcdonald's fries. and, yes, his madison square garden speech which was seen by tens of billions of -- millions of people. and mr. trump is cool for one other reason, important reason. the people he's surrounding himself with are all very smart. they're not exactly abe lincoln's team of rivals, but the group -- along with many others -- shows that donald trump has the confidence and good judgment to get the very best people on his team. that's why he can say with

growing confidence, kamala broke it, trump will fix it. and that's the riff. all right. let's bring in our paneling kellyanne conway, former counselor to president trump, host of here's the keel on fox nation. here's the deal. liz peek, syndicated columnist, fox news contributor, rich lowry, editor-in-chief at "national review." it's a very interesting -- and it is a new group, by and large. they're not the only ones, i'm just saying. he hasn't rejected the old crowd, but he's got a new group. and it's a diverse group, and it's a diverse republican party. and they're all a very smart. and i think that speaks volumes about -- trump's not aa afraid to have smart people. he wants the best and brightest as he sees it. people talk about his ego. i don't know, he's willing to bring all these people in. elon musk, vivek -- anyway. i want you to speak to that,s kellyanne, because it just strikes me kamala broke it, okay, i get that. but he's going to fix it, and this new group is going to the

make sure he's going to fix it. >> it's a great contrast. you know he doesn't try to substitute for his team, he tries to supplement it. and he made that clear when he announced corey lewandowski coming back this summer. he said many great men and women from our previous two campaigns want to help us in this one, quote, we're going to take as many as we can. that's donald trump in full. also i think too much has been made of all the celebrities around kamala harris. these folks aren't necessarily celebrity, some of them clearly are. but when young men think of elon musk, they think of the future. they think of a guy who's in space and when the rocket doesn't launch, it melts down, he says let's try it again. when knows what he'll find in space. they see the future. they ls know that he rescued twitter. four years ago as we sit here, new york post couldn't be on twitter. they had been taken off by jack dorsey because they dare tell the truth about hunter's laptop to. so a lot of people see elon musk as a van a guard for freedom. he's got a lot of former

democrats like rfk jr. and tulsi gabbard who ran against him for president. i think the untold story though is what they all represent beginning with trump which is forget about a random republican x and y who worked for john mccain and the bushes who have endorsed kamala harris. whoopdidoo. you're not telling the stories about the should be, would be rank and file voters who are going towards trump. you can have the 100, 200, 5000 republicans who have endorsed kamala, i'll take the tens of millions of union house had -- households, all these core democratic constituents that are migrating slowly and surely to donald trump. and they're doing that because his closing message is the heal and unify the nation. there's nothing healing about january 6th redux. last point. kamala harris, what happened to her is what happens to everybody, hillary clinton, all the people who ran against trump in the primaries this time and eight years ago. they get addled with trump dethe

rangement syndrome. all they can do is see trump. there's no cure, it's a disease that wrecks your nervous system, and she's got it. she can't be positive, optimistic and joyful. larry: rich lowry, you had a couple of fries and a milk shake about -- [laughter] cost you nearly $20. that was kind of the leading indicator of this whole story the. >> yeah, exactly. larry: hitting did you know that trump was going to serve it up to you. i wanted hogan on this list because he is cool, first of all. [laughter] he's just like me. he said no stinking nazis. very good column in "the new york post" today, orthodox jews, all kinds of people. by the by, muslims, american muslims are endorsing him in, what, a carry -- dearborn, michigan, hasn't gotten near enough coverage. and i just wanted to clear that up. hulk hogan is part of the trump, you know -- >> americana. larry: he's not going to be the budget with director, but there

he is symbolically. what because it tell you? >> yeah. so the media is unrelentingly negative about the trump campaign. why is the race tilting his way? what they're missing or not telling us, he is in the strongest position he's ever been. he's never done better in major media polls or been more popular than he is now, and he's e never if had a broader and more diverse coalition than he has now. and the political importance of an rfk or an elon, they can talk to that disaffected male sitting on his couch playing video games the way others can't. and i thought one of the most enjoyable parts of trump's presentation and, by the way, his msg speech was upbeat and on message. absolutely. when he was talking about those chop sticks, catching that rocket when it came down and talking to someone with on the phone and putting his phone down and forgetting who he was talking to because he was in -- larry: did you see the rocket -- >> i've watched about 30 different videos. larry: it's incredible. >> and just the sheer joy.

larry: nobody can figure that out. and, liz, i appeal to you. you're really the only numbers person on this panel. i tried the make it as a simple as possible from the two senators. but, but, but, but, let's not forget kitchen table issues are trump's calling card. and they didn't occur during his presidency. they have occurred. wages are rising more slowly than prices, housing costs are enormous, car costs are -- basic type stuff. and i don't want to let that go by. it was a good op-ed piece by two senator senators, but it's part of trump's -- smart senators. and it's part of his closing argument. >> it's been wonderful to try to watch the liberal media as they try to browbeat americans into thinking they're doing well. 75% of the country still thinks the economy is either poor if or not good so what is the response? instead of actually trying to fix that or talking about hama right fix, everyone scurries around and says, you're wrong,

there are a lot of jobs and so forth. what's happening now, larry, people are worried about jobs. the jolts number came in today, we're seeing unemployment go up. slowly, to be sure, but it's getting worse. and i think people are concerned about this. but the magic of all this, donald trump did it before, and he can do it again. this isn't -- kamala harris is going to talk torrent about turning the page -- tonight about turning the page and what she's going to do differently than donald trump. i actually see the difference between he and i which is disqualifying, in my view, but nonetheless, what is concern what are those things? what are those things she's going to do? she has yet to really present a case to the american public that she can actually move the needle and make their lives better. larry: what is her -- is so do we have trump's closing arguments? in some order are you better off than you were four years ago, kamala broke it, i'm going to fix if it, peace through strength. there are some others. she is tonight going to speak at

the mall in washington about january 6th, 2021? that plus hitler-izing trump which, you know, fascist trump and that's what democrats -- that's it? are those seriously her closing arguments in because they are such bad losers, she's going to lose badly. >> she's going to lose badly. she's going to lose independents for that reason, larry. hay don't like the negativity of politics, they have declared their independence and refused to pledge allegiance because they have this distrust of institutions and politicians for being so negative and never truly telling you who they are, what they would do to make your life better. mike conlin, a close, longtime adviser to biden, came out and and in march and said biden was going to prosecute the case about januaryth, and democrats devended upon him and said what ooh -- a losing message. we're going to do it now, eight months later, with kamala harris? if you care about january 6th, and plenty do, if you care about

abortion, if you care about climate, you're not an undecided voter. you're in the polls already. i don't know who she's appealing to who that's that last mile of wire in the suburban counties -- larry: who is she appealing to? >> if she loses, they didn't get any separation from joe biden. >> correct. >> she should have said these are the three things i would have done differently, and my guess is why she had to shift on everything she said in '19 and '20 and if felt it was too much to always -- larry: because she's so ini authentic, which people saw as a character frau. -- flaw. but, look, she had opportunities on "the view" and other shows to distinguish herself, to separate herself -- >> they helped her. they hurt her. sunny hostin, thank you for destroying kamala harris' campaign. >> she's so afraid of who she really is, larry. she's a progressive, left-wing democrat. it was just five years ago that she went on the campaign trail talking about issues that are very far left like medicare for all. you don't just wake up one day

and say say i was really wrong about everything. that's' not a strong platform -- larry: they have thrown, to come back to this, january 6th, look, we have litigated this, we have impeached this, we have weaponizedded this, lawfared this, taken all his money away, taken his business away, thrown him out of new york where he grew up and has changed the entire skyline, and look where he is today, for heaven sakes. they have thrown five books at him, and he is standing taller than she is. and i know -- i'm going to say it thousandth time, polls aren't votes. but when you look at the real clear politics average both nationally and by the swing states, she is 5, 6 and 7 points worse off this very day than was joe biden and hillary clinton four years ago and eight years ago. >> it was the 6.8%, joe biden was 77.4%. comp is one-tenth of a

percentage point. it is his best polling, as rich says. larry: incredible. >> the other thing that's happening, i think the everybody is touching upon this here, larry, but let's put it on the table. clearly, trump's right when he says they're going after you with i'm just standing in the way because they're trying to castigate and denigrate americans. i think kamala has a more subtle way of saying we're deplorable, but negative, negative, negative has never uplifted a nation that needed to feel patriotic. and i actually want to disagree, i think she made a mistake by going too far away from biden. is she ran him over, and then she ran too far from their shared record. she should have said here are the great things we did together, here are the things i'm going to do differently, but she's seen as ungracious. she doesn't say i should have been in charge of the butler, pennsylvania, investigation. i want that report on my desk. she consistent even know thousand to take free mode. she spent a billion dollars in a ads to alienate voters. larry: or lift. >> michael corleone said never

hate your enemies, because it affects your judgment. [laughter] pretty good. larry: that's my favorite movie, but hulk hogan said, no stinking nazis -- >> he's right, i was there. larry: i don't believe he'll be treasury secretary -- [laughter] i didn't rule out deputy secretary, all right? if rich lowry, liz peek and kellyanne conway, the guy can count. he knows his stuff. and, folks, don't forget to tune in. here's the deal, with kellyanne streaming now on fox nation. coming up here on "kudlow," president trump wants to continue the jfk-reagan-trump doctrine of peace through strength. we'll talk about it with art laffer next up. ♪

and ronald reagan said it, and donald trump is saying it. i think donald trump is using it more and more than even he did, you know, in the first term. what do you think about that? because there's components to peace through strength. it's a wonderful phrase. how do you read that phrase? >> well, i read that phrase in two fashions. number one, very, very strong military and defense. so strong a military and a defense department that no one wants to take us on, that those, as jack kennedy said, president kennedy said, the defense spending is always wasted. good defense spending is always a wasted. whenever you find yourself in a situation where you're required to use your hard square prowess, that is a clear sign you did not spend enough. strong defense is really important. then the other side of the equation is a really strong economy, the envy of the world. you want everyone to want to do business with us, to want to be involved with us to make them

rich. and ronald reagan said this, larry, just in 91979. -- 1979. we were at the beverly hills hotel, and i'm going to paraphrase, he wants to the make our friends stinking rich with supply-side economics and square the bejeebers out of our enemies with "star wars." and that combination is exactly what we want. never, ever, as reagan made it, never, ever turn down an opportunity to have discussions, to the share ideas with your enemies, your friends. much better to settle a dispute verbally than it is to actually go into action. and that's where biden and hearst just have done such an awful job concern harris. there are wars everywhere because of their incompetence. larry: tax cuts, deregulation including energy deregulation -- >> yes, sir. larry: strong dollar. >> very much. larry: that gives you the domestic economic resources. and then you can use those to build up your defense. now, they're going to, you know,

that doesn't mean defense -- there's dei in defense, there's a lot of woke culture in defense. that stuff's going to be written out of defense. but good defense, expert defense that would really keep -- mr. trump, here, try this. mr. trump is talking about what, arthur? he's talking about "star wars," he's talking about -- >> yes with, he is. larry: no, he's saying it on it on the campaign trail. the last guy i heard saying that in this country was ronald reagan over 40 years ago. people laughed at him. here we go again. star wars, ire dome is saving israel and its people in the middle east right today. that's how important that is. >> yes. you're so right on every one of those points. and let me just say that a strong economy is not just, larry, for americans to have prosperity, although that's a very important part of it. it's also for foreigners to want

to share in that prosperity and emulate us. the one thing that reagan did was he taught all these other countries how to achieve prosperity. we led the pack. but they followed suit, and they followed suit beautifully. they want to do business with us. and and i want to see all these countries, any of these countries want to do business, want to ally themselves with -- including our arch enemies today. we want to lure them and bring them into our friendship because we have a strong economy and we want the make sure they don't take, they don't take advantage of anything with our strong defense. that's' the way it's done, and star wars was one beautiful part of that. larry: i just have to say one thing. look -- and in many ways people forget this about reagan. you can have a strong economy, but you can't tolerate unfair trading practices. you can't tolerate china, india, europe that have tariffs, art, that are five times what the united states tariff is. now, i want to say this, people criticize mr. trump left and

right. i don't think they should because i don't think there is free trade left anymore. i just think he's going to use tariffs to negotiate. reciprocity is the new free trade. but remember, reagan used something in those days called voluntary restatement agreementt agreements. in those days japan, which had very unfair trading practices particularly with electronics but also to automobiles and so forth, i mean, reagan knew -- he did that stuff. people forget reagan was not a pure free trader. he believed in rest processty. i'll give you the -- reciprocity. i'll give you the last word on reciprocity. >> you're totally right. what reagan wanted was for them to lower their barriers rather than the us the raise our barriers. larry: yes. >> he wants them to join with us, not to be against us, that's it. larry: good stuff. art laffer, peace through strength. >> i love it, larry, i just love it. larry: coming up here, the great vivek ramaswamy.

[cheers and applause] that's the mass deportation to save the country. larry: all right, deport, deport the bureaucracy. i love that. joining us now, vivek ramaswamy. he's a businessman and author of truth: the future of american -- i just want to say, your speech at the garden on sunday was just wonderful. we've already quoted you several times x it's a pleasure if to have you back on the show.

and we should have a mass deportation of all these permanent, tenured bureaucrats in washington. and the neat thing is, listen, as you know, elon musk wants to join you in this, howard lutnick, from the transition, wants the to join you. you know, what they call doge, the department of government efficiency. now's the time, and i think you've got the group around mr. trump to get this done. >> absolutely. for the first time in american history, we also have supreme court precedent at our back. in this case, they are american citizens, larry, but i would say deport them into the private sector from the bureaucracy. that's what we need. and you know the msnbcs of the world whenever they talk about protect our democracy, what do they actually mean? they mean protect our bureaucracy, and that bureaucracy is really the actual threat to democracy. because the people who we elect to run the government, they're not making most of the rules. they're the the unelected democrats bureaucrats who are

writing these regulations. and the reason i'm really optimistic for the second term is not just because of donald trump and the team of people -- i hope to be an important part of that to drive change in this country -- but more importantly of all, the supreme court has given us the legal backdrop to do it. saying that if it was an important regulation, a major question, it should have gone through congress rather hand through the agencies. overturning cheffen ron performance. this is a -- chevron deference. this is a once in an opportunity to seize it -- once in a generation opportunity to seize it. larry: i think it would bring joy to the majority of voters. we will find out a week from today. so you've got options here, right? you could disband the whole department. if you ask me, the education d. could be disbanded. i'm not sure anyone would care. other departments could be sanly cut. a friend of mine was saying the other day, vivek, if you take a look at what elon musk did when he took over twitter, i mean, i

think he slashed 90 of the staff at twitter because he saw it was not necessary $90% -- when he turned it into x. i assume your management style would be very similar to that. so what kinds of things do you want to do? day one, up to the first hundred days, do you want to to go after the agencies, you want to go of after the people, you want to go after the bureaucracy, change the mission? put a little meat on the bones for us, please. >> yeah. so there's one way that i think is the wrong way to go which is to say we want to replace if it with a right-wing bureaucracy. i think that that's a failing strategy. we have to keep our eye on the north star of shutting down that bureaucracy. take a look at that land are scape, what's a list of all of the regulations that failed the supreme court's test? the regulations on the backs right now -- books that are unconstitutional according to the current supreme court. i believe that could quite possibly be a majority of current federal regulations. i say it literally using the standards the supreme court has

now laid out. well, now if you have thinned out the regulatory state in terms of the regulations by over 50%, that gives you a road map the say we don't need 50% of those bureaucrats either. it gives you a rational basis for mass head count reductions where there aren't claims of discrimination. when you have these large, mass firings, that falls outside the civil service rules. so these are straight up laid up by the supreme court and legal precedents. it's up to us to have the lek trl mandate to actually carry that out which is why the next seven days are so critical. but once we send donald trump back to the white house with a mandate to a drain that swamp armed with supreme court precedents he did not have back in 2016, that allows us, ultimately, to create a government that is accountable to the people rather than the other way around which is what we've had really since the last century, woodrow wilson, fdc, l lbj and even some republican presidents like richard nixon along the way that have expanded this. we get to put a century-long

project finally to rest to say that we're going to revive a self-governing constitutional republic that our founders wanted to see. that is the single greatest economic stimulus we could give the united states of america right now, is take that regulatory wet blanket off of our economy, drill, frack, burn coal, embrace nuclear. it's an energy and innovation boom in this country. it's waiting to happen, we've just got to send donald trump to the white house to do it. larry: two things quickly, vivek. first of all, the civil rights act of 1964, title vi and title vii, expressly forbade affirmative action on the basis of gender or sex or color. so you have the entire bureaucracies called dei have sprung up and other bureaucracies related to dei. those should go, and the people should go. no. this stuff is illegal. i'm surprised it hasn't been struck down. i mean -- struck down part of it, but not all of it. the other thing i'm thinking

about as you're talking about is with respect to these bureaucracies and let's say chevron deference, there are no legislative mandates for these regulations. >> yes. larry: so, therefore, okay, out. you're gone. no legislation then there's in bureaucracy. >> exactly. larry: those are just thoughts that i have, you know? i worked in the budget office a long time a ago and i've been in government. why not? those are two things right there. use the civil rights act and use chevron denser, there's no legislation, you're out of here -- deference, there's no legislation, you're out of here. >> absolutely. the overturning of that in the supreme court was a seismic event this year. some of the acts from the 1960s also created agencies like the eeoc, the equal employment opportunity commission. they actually went on to do far more damage to the private sector than anybody who actually voted for the civil rights act ever imagined in the first place. so we have 60 years, i would argue almost a century's worth of damage to undo. this makes this a historic

opportunity and election. also as a very pragmatic matter for people who run businesses, generally 20- % of people -- 20% of people do 80% of the work. in a government agency it's far more skewed than that, so i think a lot of the agencies that need to continue to exist will function better when they're thinned out. and many of those agencies like the department of education and many ores don't even need to exist in the first place. and the mistake of a lot of conservatives in the last 60 years is to go incrementally, somehow you could bring a chisel and optimize that bureaucracy, that is a myth. larry: no, no, no. >> if you want to get this done right, you have to go to the heart of it. go big, non-incrementally, shut it down. make our founding fathers proud. that's' huh you grow an economy. and, by the way, even a lot of independents, centrists and even some democrats will agree with me on this one, i think we'll unite the country while doing it. larry: it's not a functional problem, it's not even a personnel problem. it's in so many cases an

absolute structural problem. the whole structure has got to come down. some cases you're going to save 'em and you'll put better people in to run 'em, maybe down size them. a lot of cases you don't save a single thing. vivek ramaswamy, thank you for your wisdom and your leadership and a wonderful speech at madison square garden on sunday evening. appreciate it very much. all right, folks, coming up, kamala harris resorts the hitler hysteria. hitler hysteria. i mean, she's now going to -- back to j6. back to washington d.c. back to biden-harris which people don't want anyway. none of that the tough's working. we're going to talk about the it with former speaker of the house newt gingrich when "kudlow"ly returns. k h ♪ar hey, jackie! (♪) evan, my guy! you're helping them with savings, right? (♪) i wish i had someone like evan when i started. somebody just got their first debit card!

ice cream on you? ooo, tacos! i got you. wait hold on, don't you owe me money? what?! your money is a part of your community, so your bank should be too. like, chase! at harbor freight, we do business differently from the other guys. we design and test our own tools and sell them directly to you. no middleman. just quality tools you can trust at prices you'll love. [coughing] hi susan, honey? yea. i respect that, but that cough looks pretty bad. try this robitussin honey. the real honey you love, plus the powerful cough relief you need. mind if i root through your trash? robitussin, with real honey & elderberry.

it's our son, he is always up in our business. it's the verizon 5g home internet i got us. oh... he used to be a competitive gamer but with the higher lag, he can't keep up with his squad.

so now we're his “squad”. what are kevin's plans for the fall? he's going to college. out of state, yeah. -yeah in the fall. change of plans, i've decided to stay local. oh excellent! oh that's great! why would i ever leave this? -aw! we will do anything to get him gaming again. you and kevin need to fix this internet situation. heard my name! i swear to god, kevin! -we told you to wait in the car. everyone in my old squad has xfinity. less lag, better gaming! i'm gonna need to charge you for three people. larry: yeah, late stages of the campaign, closing arguments, kamala harris resorting to hitler hysteria. it ain't working, thiess that's my view. joining us now, newt gingrich, former speaker of the house and fox news contributor. newt, this is the worst closing argument i've ever heard. and democrats do this all the time. [laughter] ironically, half the democrats running for the senate are doing positive ads with president trump. in a serious way, what kind of closing argument is this really? she's going to do the j6 thing back in '20 the -- she's doing

that tonight in washington, d.c. and the mall. what do you think? >> well, i think they're proving that their entire inner circle comes from a different planet. first of all, if you're trying to be the agent of change, why would you give a speech in washington, d.c., and why would you give it standing in front of the white house? i mean, talk about reminding people she's been vice president for four years, this has been her administration. it is a disaster. she can't possibly -- that's the dumbest scheduling, personally, i'm looking forward to the speech because i want to see how dumb it is. i couldn't help myself the other day when i wrote harris' hitler hysteria because that's the only way you can deal with it. first of all, it implies that over half the country are nazis. now, i know that hillary had contempt for everybody who wasn't her social friend, but

this is ridiculous. as, you know, calista and i were at the rally sunday night, and i think it's lara who said there were so many israeli flags there, you couldn't quite imagine it was a nazi rally. you look at the whole thing we're caught up in now. nothing harris is doing is solving her core problems which are the economy, illegal immigration, crime and total incompetence. in a dangerous world, this is not a person you want to have as commander in chief. larry: and i would add a, newt, to all those key points, realignment. trump has broken the old democratic coalition and, look, you -- i learned this from you. you were writing about this. we're watching this with our very eyes. [laughter] you know, she can call him fascist and every name in the book. the reality is he's going to get bigger margins, he's going to get bigger margins than ever before when it comes to young

people, when it comes to african-americans, hispanic-americans, asian-americans. as i say, young people. men. he's going to get bigger margins than ever before. she's running 4, 5 points behind right today, a week before the election, if you look at real clear politics, if you look at the swing states and if you look at the national poll. she's running 4, 5, 6 points behind where hillary clinton was and joe biden was exactly, exactly in 2020 and 2016. that's how far behind she is. >> and it's going to get worse over the last week. and remember, you can answer a poll sitting at home doing nothing. to vote, of you have to decide you're going to get up and go do something. miami-dade just had a headline this morning, republicans are you outvoting democrats in early voting in miami-dade. i think there's a 950,000 vote shift in early voting in pennsylvania.

if -- carson, las vegas has collapsed in terms of democratic turnout to s. and what i'm seeing in north carolina, the republicans are way ahead. georgia we're now ahead probably by at least 5 points. but what i'm seeing is the trump team -- and this was the really obvious at the rally in madison square garden -- the trump team is excited. trump voters are excited. and that's why the junior senator from pennsylvania, after wandering around rural pennsylvania, said, i mean, or he said there's so much enthusiasm for trump out here, people better be paying attention. so the trump voters, they're going to get there. they're going to vote. i think it's almost impossible to get any kind of big vote for kamala because she's so obviously incompetent. i mean, what's -- other than hard-line, left-wing liberals, harvard professors, you know, people at columbia university, who's going to want to be excited and go vote for kamala

harris? larry: i'll tell you, trump is cool. he's got hulk hogan, elon musk and newt gingrich. trump is cool. thank you, newt, very much. i'll be right back with my -- or or there are many ways to do things. at old dominion freight line, we do them this way. this way has people who start early. people who care and inspire each other to do things the way they should be done. this way uses technology (♪) and goes the extra mile (♪) to deliver your promises on-time, every time. this way is why we're the number one national ltl carrier for quality.
