to a special edition of kudlow. i'm david m asman in for larry kudlow. president trump is not in office but cracking down on border rye sis and threatening to -- crisis and threatening to slam canada and mexico if they don't help and tom homan telling city mayorings they'll face criminal charges if they don't help. we have much more with all the guests. hillary vaughn is live at the white house with the very latest. hi, hillary. reporter: hi, david. canada and mexico taking president elect trump's tariff plans very seriously. canadian prime minister justin trudeau spoke to trump on the phone last night. >> he talked about some of the challenge lens that we can work on together. it was a good call and a relationship that we know take as certain amount of work and that's what we'll do. reporter: mexican president

claudia shine balm is threateddenning a tariff war. [speaking non-english language] >> it's not accept and will would cause the u.s. and mexico inflation and job losses. reporter: trump as president said he's slapping canada and mexico with a 25% tariff on all products and the tariff will stay till the drugs and criminals coming across the border. reporter: some canadians are agreeing with trump and alberta premier daniel smith saying the incoming u.s. trump administration has valid concerns related to activity and shared boarder and calling on the federal government to work with incoming administration to resolve immediately and unnecessary tariffs and democrats warn the car riffs

will hurt americans through high prices. >> if you don't understand why your food is more expensive, this is the bread and butter of what will raise prices. reporter: threat of tariffs making republicans skiddish as well and senator chuck grassley is concerned about the tariffs and think trump is using as a negotiating tool to get canada and mexico to buck up at the border. david. david: hill i have vaughn, thank you very much -- hillary vaughn, thank you. charlie hurt is joining me now and washington time opinions editor and john carney, breitbart economics and finance editor and coauthor of breitbart business digest and batya ungar sargon is joining us. business folks have seen this before. they had a term with trump and

saw him threaten with tariffs and what former chrysler ceo bob nanardeli said about it e earlir today. roll tape. >> went through this once before with the president, social security a negotiating tool and not a policy. it's a initiative that will get their attention and hopefully stop this invasion that we've incurred over the last four years that has just been devastating to our society. david: tevin it causes some inconvenience for folks, the goal is worth it. >> yeah, and not only have people lived through this before, but the entire campaign donald trump was talking about all these things and the reason i think that he won the election is because he was talking about common sense solutions to very real problems that affect people in their personal lyes and people said, you know what, i get all of the hysteria about the guy and hear all the extreme names they call him but, gee, what he's talking about make as lot of sense, and i think

tariffs were an integral part of that that makes sense. drugs and human smuggling across the boarder and using tariffs to stop that. why not? david: why is anybody surprised in people in the media saying we're shocked but he talked about it and did it. david: worries turning into a trade war and there was during far away away from shoot holly and if you're the president of mexico, you can't -- for your domestic consumption, very few

u.s. exports go with a smaller ppercentage into mexico and they're dependent on the u.s. market for their economy. about a quarter of entire gdp is exports to the u.s. and if there's a trade war, mexico loses on day one. this is trump's opening gambit. david: were you surprise that had canada was thrown in? >> no, because there's a triparty agreement. anything we do with mexico, we need canada to come along. david: 19,000 folks trying to come in from the north of the border. that was like double in the previous two years. >> shutting off the southern border but do nothing to the northern border, then everybody will fly into canada and come down into the u.s.. david: batya, moving away from economics for a moment, we have to deal with sanctuary cities cs and some sanctuary states and

mayor of denver suggesting he'd be willing to go to jail to which tom homan said the following. roll tape. >> me and the denver mayor agree on one thing, he's willing to go to jail, i'm willing to put him in jail because there's a statue. it's title 8 of the united states called 1324 and it says it's a felony if you knowingly harbor and con sale illegal alien -- conceal illegal alien from authorities and trump has a mandate and we have to secure the country and save american lives. david: batya it's hard to misunderstand tom homan. >> i love that guy. donald trump won on three things: socially moderate, antiwar, and he wanted to create an economy that delivered for the working class. he's doing that with tariffs and he's doing that by controlling the border, the two most important things when you think about working class americans. just to go back to tariffs for a minute, it's so amazing to me that the same people who are out there saying i don't care if gas

prices double if it's to support the war in ukraine. suddenly if vegetables cost a bit more but your neighbor is making a living wage, suddenly they're unwilling to make that sacrifice buzz by the way, they'll not be making that sacrifice. david: what do you think happens to the mayors and governors that are saying i'm going to go to jail, i'm going to die for it? i think that's what the new jersey governor said, i'm willing to die for this cause of keeping these criminals in the state of new jersey. what do you think will happen? how soon before they roll over? >> i think it'll be very soon because they're not opposed donald trump, they're opposing the will of the american people that elected donald trump in order to do exactly this. now they're putting up opposition to the exact thing their own voters flipped on them and chose trump for. david: charlie, a 10% tariff against china and china is where the fentanyl crisis begins. there's no question about it as trump was saying, they're always

claiming they're going to arrest people and execute people for fentanyl. they never follow through with anything. what do you think -- how does china now deal with donald trump? we know how donald trump is going to deal with them. how do you think they'll deal with trump this time? >> i think >> i think president chai is a good indicator and realize and recognize this is a negotiation tactic and it's a tool in the tool kit of negotiations, and i think they'll try to work with him and try to figure things out because there is so much money at stake for -- especially with china for both countries. david: they did end up buy ago lot of produce. so this is a big problem that donald trump will have to face. he has to show them that he

means business but that america means business and this doesn't end in 2029. this is going on forever. china cannot try to outate donald trump's term of office. this is going to last and all they have to do is look, joe biden didn't drop thtariffs and the republican party is now 100% on board with trading -- with changing our trade relationship with china. china, if they think they can outlast us on this, they're wrong and this will get much worse before it gets better. david: batya, there's an interesting gallop poll showing americans are optimistic about the future when trump takes over, but even more worried than they were about the present. the next two months they're very much -- there is a feeling of it's morning in america but not quite -- mourning in america but not quite yet. think of the war ratcheting up in ukraine and all these possible attempts to spend every dime they possibly can before

trump comes into office? what do you think will happen over the next two month s? >> i respect how americans feel that way and what they feel. no one know what is our president is doing right now, but i will say to my fellow americans, the rest of the world leadership is already acting like donald trump is in office. they're already running everybody knows there's a new regime and people aren't trying to get last licks in and opposite that people are preparing for what's going to be a much more peaceful four years through peace through strength. david: by the way, a lot of investors are preparing trying to find out how to play the trump trade. charlie, i forget i'm older since we're friends and i remember the morning in america

and more so in 1984 there's a feeling of what to going for them and you probably don't remember but do you get a sense of despite all of the grasping of merles by msnbc and there's a sense of optimism? >> first two years of joe biden's presidency and there's a column attacking joe biden, my father would call me up and say he don't know how bad it was with jimmy carter. after a few years, he was like never mind. this is somewhat worse. if trump succeeds what he wants to do and look at middle class bring prosperity. david: bring security. >> actually accomplishes those things in four years and you'll

be looking at another eight years of jd vance and going back to john's point and that's the game where donald trump didn't succeed on election day and in his mind, he gets done all of the things he promised voters he'd get done. if he does, and jd vance and somebody else up for eight years to continue the policy. david: back to what happens over the next few months and charlie gasparino had a piece saying janet yellen trying to screw up things for trump coming into office and rolling over some of the debt and huge 1.8 trillion deficit. >> they crowded treasuries into the short term and a lot has to be turned over and it'll be difficult for donald trump to deal with, but as you said the optimism of america is going to make that a much easier task and

when you look at all the surveys and consumer sentiment and confidence, it's through the roof. people are feeling good about america again. that's going to make it a lot easier for u.s. government to sell debt. david: bat i can't recollects i owe you -- batya, i owe you one. we're over time. president trump vowed to cut energy prices by 50% and going to do this and talking about president xi. that's next.ervi ♪ with the insurance whistleblower.

now. are you thinking of doing more exploration nor natural gas in montana? >> well, coal is critical and we need companities to thrive and they're worrying that we'll be open and is this town going to survive and coal in the deposit there and at this rate, there's 3,000 year was coal left and they need to know that -- david: hold on, 3,000s years of coal left? for what? united states consumption or what? >> for their demand and push out for the plant and 3,000 years left on what they currently have for mining and we have plenty of coal left and we're supporting that industry and not trying to put it out of business yet. david: for the folks and if anybody hasn't been to montana and book an affair and it's just

an extraordinarily beautiful state and, you know, if i had my druthers, i'd probably live there and are people concerned about the effect of extra mining and done in a more convincing fashion than in years past? >> i mean, of course people are concerned about doing it the right way. montana has a long checkered history with extractive industries and times over a kenture reigns leading ago and -- century ago and blowing tops off mountains and nobody wants that to come back and we understand that we know how to extract energy and resources from the ground specifically and better, cleaner and safer than anywhere else in the world. we need the resources and whether it's lithium, coal, or timber. we need to get them here in america and here in montana. we can do it safely, cheaper and cleaner than anywhere else in the world and getting those resources anywhere, which we are, get them from here in montana jobs and state of montana. and grow our economy as a

result. charles: montana is a long way from the border. david: you passed a no sanctuary cities law and it's obvious you supported the president's border policies and why is that? you're looking for that and has it caused hardship? >> every state is now a border state. whether it's new york city or seattle or portland. the southern border is impacting everyone. don't forget, montana has a massive northern border too so border security is critical to montana as it is for the rest of the country and we're feeling it here in montana. we have a fantastic governor and state attorney general and focusing on law and order and addressing the crime issue in the streets. we're feeling it here. no question. from drugs to violent crime in the streets and cartels and criminal element that come with them are impacting montana. not that long of a drive from yuma to montana and interstate 15 and feeling an impact here and montana voiced chloroly at ballot box -- clearly at ballot

box november 5 and they want safer streets and cartels under control. david: you're a businessman and very successful businessman and in my mind, the best thing you've done in your life so far is as a navy seal. you were a decorated for work in iran and sierra and others and when you look at -- syria and looking at how donald trump is trying to change the pentagon and it's ossified over the years and falling behind china and particularly the pick of pete hegseth like yourself was on the ground and a soldier on the ground and not flying above. >> part of a system from 20-30-40 years and become change agents at ththe board and goingd

david: no atheists in a fox hole and it's proved under his wings and faith on the front line protected american troops and reminds us in this week of thanksgiving even before we give thanks to all the benefits of living in the usa, we must

always give thanks to a higher authority as they used to say. joining us to talk about it all. emily compagno, cohost of outnumbered. what gave your the idea to do it? >> we talked extensively about the proud members of our family that served and how proud we are of them. i come from a strong military family backed generations world war i and ii and all different countries and land resistance and more and 4:mother is a family historian and i have all of the photographs and stories and records. as an nfl cheerleader, i had honor of visiting troops in iraq on uso tour, and had really incredible experiences there during and after ward which i talk about here. and then true and simple and amazing stories of the intimate connections of soldiers on the front line and messenger from the war fighters and messenger from god and faith in battle.

david: sometimes, people talk openly about it and many times they don't. a lot of people are private about it so you kind of have to pryor the information out of them about it. symes they have to do it in secret. you talk about charlie plum. david: vietnam pilots and shot down over hanoi and went through really hard years of captivity. learned in secret to secretly connect with the people living in the cells next to him how to communicate and pryor pray in secret. i mean, it's extraordinary the lengths to which -- he had to kind of be talked into it by morris code; right? >> yes and this morris code as it tapped out what he called mantra and mission to keep the faith maybe. it's exactly that, david, there's no way to go through years of brutal torture of solitary confinement and the hell they endured without faith and stories of christmas and

celebrating christmas in captivity that what communion looks like in captivity and country where religion was persecuted and point about being secret about it or not so open and operators telling me i've never shared this story before, but i trust you, emily, to carry it accurately and adequately and i'll carry that honor. david: my son was in two wars and my wife was praying all the time and has devotion to our lady and claims that she gives our lady credit for his coming back without physical injuries, but i still haven't talked to him about it. i mean, he still holds the stuf. it's terribly hard but the role that prayer plays with families is also extraordinarily important. this guy, charlie plum, his family got directly involved with prayer too >> the vietnam prisoner of war and lobbied american government to keep the men front and center so they could be returned home and to

your point about the front line prayers, front line can be home and spouses deal with cat pfropfically wounded spouses and spouses and mothers with children and i pray about it. david: nothing cures addiction as well as long as it's a natural process and if god is a part of that recovery process, you have much more chances of success than if he's not. by the way, cardinal dolan, that i know you love and love as i do, he was on with larry last week talking about thanksgiving. i just want to play a little sound byte as a final note and get your response. roll it. >> our founders put freedom of religion first in the first ten amounts of bill of rights and freedom of religion and religion is a cherished place in the public square and there's

movements on that would deter that and would diminish that and >> it's absolute renaissance and going for church or state and it's written ad hoc in a letter outside of the presidential office to insure the government didn't encroach upon those freedoms to worship. david: part of the constitution. my wife is always putting that out. >> that's right. and and people are feeling free to worship and outright worship with jesus and feel that encouragement to do so in the public square and knowledge they're never alone and god is always with them. david: pray for those people that are oppressed and going for

the nigerian prince and 60,000 in the churches and there's a lot of problems but again, this book is one of the helpful signs under his wings is the name of emily's book. great too see you. >> thank you, david. david: happy thanksgiving. >> happy thanksgiving. david: check out the series martin scorsese presents the saints every sunday at 8:00 p.m. on fox nation. switching to taxes and religion to taxes, that's quite a switch and best of the best. joining me is michael faulkender and steve moore, host of moore money and coauthor of trump economic miracle and gentlemen, great to see you both. good warmup to the section and don't let us ourod down but, steve, once again, we are battling with those so called expertperts what do recognize te

tax codes brought in more revenue than it cost and didn't cost money but we made money and 48% increase in revenues after it was coming in in 2017. the latest attack on these re renewing and revitalizing the code and living for another ten years is a committee for responsible federal budget and sent out a warning saying as congress considering extensions of provisions in the tax cuts and jobs act, lawmakers need to come up with $39.9 to $4.8 trillion of more offsets to prevent any extension from adding to the nation's growing debt.

>> how is that a revenue loss, david? there's no difference and the point is there's no loss of revenue. what we did and this is what reagan did back that the early 80s and you were there, david, we cut tax rates and got more growth and more people working and more profits for businesses and all that led to tax revenues and the other claim in the wall street journal today by a famous economist and trump tax cuts causing inflation. do you remember that's what they said about the reagan tax cuts in the 80s. david: the figures are really clear and no denying the fact we gained extra revenue and far more saying it's because of inflation and 48% is more than # 2%. sorry, wasn't inflation.

in their favor, they do come up with some savings that maybe elon and vivek can get in on. $1.4 trillion in saving and just by canceling president biden's executive order and orders ronzoni student loan bailouts. >> that's right. student loan piece and amount of money on the green subsidies through the reduction act and biden administration implemented them and coming in at hundreds of billions more than cbl forecast and that's again because as steve was talking about and cbo thinking about things in a very static way and not thinking about policy changes behavior and there have we're going to get a difference in economic activity because if what we do is actually grow the economy, if we encourage more economic activity, that's what brings prices down. if you have more supply come online, you bring prices down

and bringing in more act i'll than inflation and seize are the same economies saying it trump were e lekked, we'd go into a recession and see the market tank and what happened on the day after the election. the dow is up 1500 and have a new treasury secretary announced last friday and we have the dow in record territory. i hope for once people will have a bit of humility and actually look the numbers and market reaction and maybe question some of their assumptions that went into the forecasts. david: by the way, they said the same in 1 1980 about what would happen if ronald reagan were elected and we went through a bad recession and delayed tax cuts for a couple of years and they came in and, steve, we have the problem what is going to happen over the next couple of months and not only is janet yellen doing hankie pa panky wih

regard to paying off the debt or deficit and commerce secretary trying to spend money like it's going out of style, particularly from the chips act ask corporate welfare act that a lot of republicans signed onto by the way. $280 billion, and she's trying to spend it, like every penny before leaving office. >> with the deficit, think they'd try to save money on the way out instead of spending every penny they can get their hands on trying to pass out. where is that money going and it's all the green energy money and all the chips money going and democratic contributors. david: also went to foreign companies like taiwan. i mean, god bless the taiwanese and they got over $1 billion and there's still questions about intel and at one point last weekend they were suggesting we'll cut intel out and they're doing things and now suggestion they may get a cut and hasn't

helped them at all as a company, has it? >> one company that's doing well. you know, is nvidia. and nvidia gets none of that. system of articulation david: that's right. they're not part of it. >> they're going bankrupt and maybe stop with the corporate welfare and one quick thing about warning to your viewers, we've got republicans in districts around the country that are lobbying for this crazy green energy stock in the district. it's become pork and nothing with the energy situation. david: michael, that gets me back to commerce department. isn't that low hanging fruit for doge? it seems like if you have an organization like the commerce department, it's just a money burner. you know, they hand the programs and corporate welfare programs and all sorts of crap to the commerce department and this is proof that one department at the very least namely the department

should be cut for them and it'll exist for them spending money and going to help you. >> david, i'm not sure what isn't low hanging fruit for doge but all the socialist agenda and d oh, i that the commerce department on its own not because of statute but on its own added into all of the strings of getting the chips money. and they took that act and they said if you want any of this money, do what we want on social issues and that's the other thing that -- that's why they're trying to get the money out oturu door and they want to lock the social policies in before they leave. david: well, you can't reform it. as long as the commerce department exists, maybe it'll be a bit better under republicans say it won't help.

field that is and maybe censorship and i'm pretty fing square. if that happens, i'll be on a plane out of america. what stuff is he afraid will happen? >> it's third party fact checkers and article is researchers and academics in the industry of censoring every day americans and my message to them is pretty clear. you know, the era of having free reign social norms to silence americans for first amendment rights is over and if you want to leave the country over it, that's fine by me. david: do you think that americans recognize there's actually a field of censorship that's people that the ftc says the professor in the field? they're talking about the field of censorship. that's how far it had gone in this country.

>> it's done a total 180 and we need to step in and do our part and both in cultural and government and making sure there's no free speech and central democracy and that's really important that we return to that. david: it didn't last for mccarthy and going for us and the mccarthy era and lasts about a decade. got a lot of people fired and people committing suicide and what's happening in time. am i overdramatizing the situation because we really were going directly along that route, no? >> it's a serious threat here and our country abroad and they tried to shut down x simply because people were expressing more.

david: i saw a video of a guy getting arrested for a facebook post and they came into his house and put him in cuffs and took him away. >> you're right, it's a global surge as well and part of this cartel is enforced by outfits like news guard and i wrote a letter to them a couple weeks ago and they claimed to be the internet a arbiter of truth and it's the special liability protection that a lot of technology companies rely on. but by its terms and relevant here, it only applies to good faith conduct and as i've indicated before, if you're a technology company relying on news guard, which is under investigation for impinging first amendment rights and putting rights in jeopardy. david: what do we do to 230? some say getting rid of it entirely and inject property vieders with the -- provider withs the same sort of lawsuitss and it's reformable and going

for them. what do we do? >> straightforward and going for them and i work with the 230 and it'll make sure that we continue to have incentives to leave speech up. it's a pro speech park and it's addressing the portions of them and congress never going for them and it's on the line for americans and we don't need bonus protections to censor people. david: trump and biden administration started through the doj process of trying to break it up in some way. you think of people like elon musk that suggested maybe he'd like to have a search engine and that's a search coming along and there's enough competition in the market or does it need to be browning up in some way? >> yeah, most recent google case was one started under the trump administration and one that

trump deserves credit for realigning the national policy towards technology and we need a balance of big technology companies that exist today and will continue but also little tech and we need thriving competition and innovation and some remedies that are being pursued on google in my view are aiming to do that and break apart chrome, structural remedy there and hopefully chrome continues to innovate and google innovates and much more competition and that's ultimately very good for consumers and for too long, republicans just sat by and said look at large corporations to do something and who are we to stand in the way and on the line and going for them over president trump to usher that in and preside president trump. david: if elon musk wants to buy msnbc, would you let him? >> unleashing the opportunity for sev before and we'll do it again. david: brendan carr, it's a
