hasn't hit the market the past two years. cheryl: we're going to have big bank earnings next week. there is sectors we need to watch you say with the new administration. >> yeah, i think with the new administration coming in, there's some great opportunities out there. i think as you look at in particular from a sector perspective, one of the most interesting ones is defense. there's a lot of people who sold that off because of the worry of what's going to happen with defense spending, or cuts, and the incumbents being replaced by others. i think that's a big overstated right now but it's an industry, a sector you've got to watch but from a big picture perspective, i think there's some great opportunities in the small cap space. [closing bell ringing] cheryl: we're off session lows heading into the weekend dow, s&p and the nasdaq lower for the week as well that'll do-it-for-me and the "clayman countdown." kudlow is next. larry: hello folks welcome to

kudlow i'm larry kudlow. all right, the nightmare wildfires in california may be finally slowing down a bit. meanwhile mr. trump wins on his one big beautiful bill, even liberal ceo's are now pouring money into his inauguration. biden lawfare is reduced to something called unconditional discharge and there may even be a trump effect in today's stronger than expected jobs report. we'll have more on all this with john carney and brian brenberg in just a moment or two, but first up, our own max gordon, live in pacific palisades, california on the wildfires. max, what can you tell us today? reporter: hey there, larry. the community of pacific palisades is essentially been turned into a moon scape. house after house, block after block obliterated and turned to ash by this fire. we're sitting at about 36,000 acres to give you some perspective, that's twice

the size of the island of manhattan. meanwhile, the human toll continues to climb here, 10 people confirmed dead in these wildfires, but luckily firefighters are starting to get a handle on these blazes and the palisades fire at 8% containment the eaton fire to the east currently at 3% containment still just so much damage, so much destruction, so many homes destroyed, with people returning to absolutely nothing. larry? larry: all right, tough story remains a tough story, max. try and be safe out there as best you can. all right, next up. fox news nate foy is live in west palm beach, florida covering yet, you name it, mar-a-lago and all of the goings on there. nate? plenty cooking there. reporter: oh, yeah. certainly enough to keep us busy, larry and president-elect donald trump has been highly critical of california governor gavin newsom and democrats broadly but he said last night that he's trying to be nice to

democrats and that he believes that america is on the cusp of a golden age. now, that bipartisan spirit was seen in a viral moment at former president jimmy carter's funeral. take a look. you see trump and former president barack obama talking together and laughing. they appear like they are getting along great. some thought vice president kamala harris looked frustrated by it, but trump said everybody got along well. >> i didn't realize it, how friendly it looked. i saw it on your wonderful network, just a little while ago before i came in and i said boy, they look like two people that like each other and we probably do. we have little different philosophies, right? but we probably do. reporter: so trump and at least part of his agenda, larry, are also getting buy in from democratic senators several including john fetterman of pennsylvania voted in favor of the laken riley act cracking down on criminal illegal migrants and now fetterman will

become the first congressional democrat to meet with trump at mar-a-lago. meanwhile, the cash continues flowing in. trump's inaugural committee reportedly raised more than $170 million as wealthy donors and business leaders seek to get on trump's good side ahead of his second term. >> i haven't had anybody saying anything bad about me. i'm not used to it. >> [laughter] >> but a lot of it's respect. i think they respect the republican party. reporter: a busy day for trump, larry. he appeared virtually for his criminal sentencing in new york. trump received an unconditional discharge which essentially means he's officially a convicted felon, but receives no punishment at all. trump promises to appeal. now back out here live, he spent the rest of his afternoon at his west palm beach golf course. he will meet with members of the house freedom caucus at mar-a-lago tonight, after meeting with a group of republican governors at mar-a-lago yesterday. larry? larry: great. nate foy, appreciate it very very much.

all right folks. donald trump's red hot honeymoon continues on a roll and that's the subject of the rif. that's right. trump's honeymoon continues on a roll. his post-election honeymoon, well, it's hot, red hot, actually. he persuaded senate republicans to go along with his one big beautiful bill strategy to get tax cuts, border closing, energy, production, and doge brothers downsizing of government. so, the blue collar boom can surely begin this year in order to make good on mr. trump's promises to his working class coalition. he's got his eye on universal tariffs by the way, that could raise as much as $500 billion a year. republican house speaker mike johnson pulling together one big beautiful coalition to pass the reconciliation bill and then ceo's far and wide who always

oppose trump in the past are now all pouring in a million bucks or more into trump's inauguration and meta's mark zuckerberg ended censorship on facebook and instagram and zuckerberg plus jeff bezos of amazon are both ending dei. whoa. the major wall street banks have all run away from the woke climate net zero, esg alliance and a pathetic judge merchan and pathetic d. a. new york bragg gave trump an unconditional discharge. every other weaponized lawfare case against trump has collapsed. an appeals court just prevented any report from jack smith or merrick garland at least for now. vladimir putin wants to meet with trump. xi-jinping sending an emmesary to trump's inauguration and mr. trump is preparing a flood of new executive orders to overturn joe biden's big government regulatory socialism.

to name just a few that may come immediately on january 20, remain in mexico, ending catch and release, deportations ending illegal migrant air fights, ending the ev mandate, reversing the offshore drilling ban for fossil fuels, re-opening an war, ending the lng export moratorium. in effect mr. trump is ending the biden administration and it's ill-advised policies and even today's jobs report which surprised wall street on the upside, well, some are touting that as more proof of the trump effect. meanwhile, in light of the massive jump in small business confidence that immediately followed the election, it could well be that a chunk of december's job gains are in fact related to the incoming president's pro-growth agenda. meanwhile, financial markets today are throwing a temper

tantrum at federal reserve head jay powell because he got the interest rate and economic story completely wrong. yet again. the fed cut rates but the market raised them. that's called a sign of no confidence, but the guy has got plentiful confidence right now is one donald j. trump and that is the rif. all right joining us now, breitbart john carney and brian brenberg, co-host of "the big money show" here on fabulous fox business. gentlemen, thank you. john carney, you're in the trump effect camp i understand it. >> i think one of the reasons that all of the analysts got it wrong. they were off by 100,000 jobs is that they don't appreciate how much confidence trump selection is giving businesses all across america. there was a hiring spree that happened in december and that is all because they saw that they are getting exactly what you

just pointed out. a relief from joe biden's regulatory socialism. larry: the household survey, well let's put facts on the table. non-farm payroll is up 25 6,000. a lot of that was government and what you called government adjacent healthcare in other words. 40% of it was still government and government-related so brian, it wasn't all that fabulous but household employment from which the unemployment rate comes up 478,000. that's your blowout number and the unemployment rate did slip down a bit to 4.1%, so you and the trump effect camp or is that -- brian: i think the household survey looked pretty good here and look. there was still a lot of government jobs. that's a big problem, but these are the kinds of jobs reports you should expect to see under the trump administration. all the surveys from ceo's all the surveys from hiring

managers, are showing that they are expecting a hiring boom in 2025 and it wouldn't surprise me that you'd see that happen in december, with retail jobs and leisure and hospitality jobs because those are always the leading edge of a big jobs boom, so i am in the camp that this might be just a little sliver of what's to come. the problem is the fed doesn't know what to do with it. the bond market knows what to do with it. they were expecting this. the fed doesn't know what to do with it now and they are exampling do we have one rate cut this year, i don't know. that's why the dow took such a digger. larry: the dow wound up off 700 points i think some such thing. john carney, the bond market is saying to jay powell in the name of god, go. no confidence in him. >> they have given him an f for the term. he failed. look, the bond market has been saying that jay powell failed. today the stock market said oh, yeah, you're right. he definitely failed. the people are basically writing

off anymore cuts. there's no more cuts coming from the fed. the fed still thinks there are more cuts coming. if you listen to some of the fed speakers they say oh, we think there's still room to cut. there's no more room to cut. the discussion is very quickly going to change to does the fed have to hike. right now, inflation has been stuck and way above where it needs to be, but if it starts to climb, then we are going to get people very seriously looking at fed hikes in the future. larry: which will be very badly received. >> jay powell needs to step down if they start or need to hike because he pitched everything on the idea that he was going to get it right this time. i mean, think about all the mistakes he made. he made a mistake at missing inflation when it came on board and then he messed this up again when he thought inflation was going away. he's too doveish. brian: if they raise rates this year, to me, that be more political than cutting rates before the election because

that's not giving time for the trump plan to take effect on spending cuts, on regulatory cuts. it wouldn't only be badly received but it would look like a shot. larry: by the way on that point, christopher waller, excluding christopher waller, but the fed minutes basically, you can see they're making a case that trump tariffs are going to be inflationary. i know waller dissented, although waller has unfortunately been voting for the rate cuts so he missed this whole story too, but brian, you know, well maybe you agree that tariffs are inflationary. i don't agree. i don't see it. i mean, the inflation is caused by too much spending and too much money creation by the fed. too much pump priming by the fed, right? tariffs might raise a lot of money, help finance tax cuts. brian: i'm not in the camp of worrying about the inflationary effects of tariffs because it's part of a broader package of

growth and a broader package of growth is going to create countervailing forces to bring prices down, energy production. if it was joe biden talking about tariffs, i'd maybe start getting a little bit worried about price increases. if it's donald trump, i'm less worried about it because he's got a growth component of his agenda that his predecessor doesn't have and we've seen work, we saw work four years ago and gotten historical data. larry: it's true and you have to look at the totality of trump's program. the totality of biden's program was more spending and money printing and that was inflationary. the totalitarian totality of trump's program is more goods produced, more energy produced and less spending. >> the other thing this has done is it really strengthened trump. what you talked about earlier in the program which is doing it in one bill. getting the tax cuts in there and solidifying them really matters because it strengthens trump's hand in the trade negotiations because he now can

say, the economy can afford a tax hike in the form of tariffs because i am cutting taxes everywhere else, and so he can now look at all our trading partners and say guys, you must come to the table and negotiate because the u.s. economy is going to be firing on all cylinders. get on board with us or we're going to lock you out of the market. that strengthens trump's hand and makes the tariffs actually interestingly less likely to happen because trump now has a stronger hand in negotiating. larry: yeah, although i'm expecting a 10% -- >> there will be some tariffs, yes. larry: i don't mind, could use the extra. >> i think we will have to have some tariffs especially on china. larry: the euros have a 20% vatican. that's essentially a tariff. if trump went to 10% and put it back in the form of tax cuts, i think that's very good policy. >> you've been talking about that lately and it's really important. a lot of people don't understand that that is essentially a tariff and that we need to

respond to that. i don't want that in the united states because i'm afraid that democrats would use it as a covert tax hike, but i do think we need to respond to what they're doing and pushback with our own -- brian: i don't want to follow europe that badly in economic policy. larry: i agree. brian, zuckerbucks giving money to the inauguration and meta announces an end to dei programs and censorship and sounds like jeff bezos at amazon is doing the same. what do you think accounts for this incredible turn of events? brian: call me naive. i like a good redemption story. i think zuckerberg looks at what's happened with musk and that the influence he has, the cultural meaningfulness he has and he's jealous of it and by the way if you're in the business of running a social media platform at the end of the day you better be in favor of free speech because that's what you do.

if you're not in favor of that your market goes away so to me it might be self-interested. it might just be a show, but i think a guy like him is growing up on-the-job and over the past four years he realized that's not a fun environment to be in. the biden censorship environment. larry: it's a very benign view. brian: i'm willing to be wrong on that but on a friday i'm going to be positive. larry: silicon valley has certainly changed its stripes and in particular, as you note, many leaders of silicon valley have come into the trump camp, so it since paved the way for many others. next thing you know hollywood will come into the trump camp but speaking of that. look. the wildfires are terrible, terrible story. it's a nightmare story. john? now the estimates of the cost of this have gone up to $150 billion. i dare say what the passing of each day the cost estimates are going to go higher and higher.

now, president biden still president biden put out today on his x twitter account that the federal government will cover all the costs of protecting businesses and properties for the next six months. now, that has to be passed by the congress but what's this going to cost? is there an economic impact and what's biden think he's doing here? >> so biden should not do this. this is a big moral hazard problem. who needs insurance if the government will step in and cover it? so that should be rejected out of hand. there is going to be a big economic impact. just the materials and the labor to rebuild this , actually will have a price effect but actually will have an inflationary effect for the whole country, because think about all of the stuff that we could use to build more houses in the united states. instead we're going to be rebuilding the houses we already had. that is going to be a big

economic challenge. larry: it's a one-time effect though. >> it is. it'll last a while. i think they are going to have a challenge to figure out how they pay for the olympics in a few years in addition to the rebuilding they are having now. they are going to need -- one of the things it should be is a motivation for californians to change the way they do things. larry: there is the thing. that's an important point. think about this for a minute and we all know, we put it on this show and other shows. the enormous mistakes, water reservoirs, fire hydrants, protecting smelt, fish, instead of people who actually live out there. >> capping insurance premiums for home insurance. larry: and then capping the insurance premium so there's an insurance disaster that has been brewing for quite some time. you could make a deal. now, you could, let's say if trump comes in the ultimate deal

maker he could say okay, the federal government, fema, whatever, we will step in and provide you with enormous financial assistance and i'm going to put the number aside but enormous, so long as you change your mistaken ways, particularly on the insurance point but you also have to change your forest management policies, your reservoir management policies, your water and power. you have to invest in infrastructure. you have to stop all this climate nonsense, because look what it's doing to electricity and so forth. in other words, there is a deal to be made and a very humane way, it seems to me. the question is would gavin newsom do that? brian: i can't answer that question but i can say that it be the most responsible thing to do to help california help itself, because right now, it's working against everything its people need to recover.

insurance is one of the first aspects of that but very simple things controlled burns if you'll do water project actually doing it but the point is if you give them the money and don't ask for that or anything in terms of reforms, this problem will absolutely become worse in the future and it's not a political question. it's a question of people on the ground in that state who don't have the means to move out of it because they probably would. they will be stuck bearing the cost of the next disaster. larry: it be the most humanitarian thing for trump to come out with this kind of approach and look. we can give you federal purse strings but you must incentivize us by changing your policies on all of the matters that you just raised. forest, management of water, management of the infrastructure, management of the reservoir. i mean, electricity is a problem out there. the grid is a problem out there. brian: they really don't have -- larry: the pipes are a problem. >> they have no choice but to change because under current

california environmental regulations, rebuilding even just the things that burnt down is impossible. building stuff in california now is impossible. if they want to get it back they have to change. larry: john carney breitbart and brian brenberg, be sure to catch brian along with his co-host taylor riggs and jackie deangelis on "the big money show" weekdays 1:00 p.m. eastern on fabulous fox business. coming up next on kudlow, what did mr. trump tell republican governors at mar-a-lago last night? we will ask mississippi governor reeves who was there and catch kudlow monday through friday at 4:00 p.m. on fabulous fox business, for some reason you can't get us at 4:00 please just text your favorite 9-year-old and she will show you how to dvr the show and you will never miss one big beautiful bill. i'm kudlow. be right back.

people, same everything, but you put these people in those states, you wouldn't have crime like that at all. larry: all right there you have it the governor is visiting mar-a-lago. joining us mississippi governor tate reeves. welcome back. good to see you. happy new year. i doubt, i mean, was there any objection to any part of mr. trump's agenda as you talked to him last night? >> well, larry thanks for having me on again. it's always good to see you. i will tell you that audiology aside, for most of us republican governors we just sincerely appreciate the fact that president trump is willing to have dialogue, sit down and talk to us. the reality is that i just finished my fifth year in office and i spent more time in meetings and talking partially to president trump in my first year in office than the other four years combined with the current administration and so president trump, as you well know from your time working

in the white house, respects governors of all stripes and so whether you agree with him or not he is willing to listen to other chief executives from around the country and that's going to go a long way towards the president himself understanding the issues that we're dealing within the states and we were very grateful to have been invited down to mar-a-lago and yes, obviously, ideologically we also are in agreement and i'm sure there's going to be small disagreements here or there, but the president's primary message last night was that one of the first things he's going to do is he's going to secure our border and we believe very strongly because many of us have actually helped texas governor greg abbott over the last four years by sending national guard troops and others, law enforcement officers to the border to try to help but having a partner in the white house that is committed to securing our border is going to go a long way towards building a lot of trust not only with republican governors but with the american people. larry: you know,

governor tate reeves i think you'll see through executive orders and legislation some of the things he's going to do right off the top. right off the top. right out of the chute. close the border, produce more energy, and cut taxes for a blue collar boom and i know you've been a big tax cutter down in mississippi but i think you'll see that. one big reconciliation bill. lots of executive orders coming out on january 20, basically he's going to repeal pretty much the entire biden administration and i think that's just what folks want. >> i don't think there's any doubt that's exactly what folks across america want, when you think about the fact there are seven swing states and as president trump said last night he won all seven of them. he has a mandate to govern and much of those policies are going to be to undo the terrible policies the biden administration put in place and that's what the american people want. that's what they voted for.

they voted for change in november. they know that they were far better off during the four years of the trump administration than they have been in the last four years, and many of these policies are so far out there that even some democrats are coming around now. you saw the laken riley act, for instance whereas a year ago not one single democrat was willing to vote for much less co-author that particular bill and now in the new congress after the latest election results even some more moderate democrats are coming around so i think you're right and the president trump is going to be very busy on januare orders, undoing some of the terrible policies that were enacted under bad executive orders by this administration and then i think you're going to see in some ways a bipartisan effort to undo some of the terrible policies that do things like have an open border from the biden administration. larry: yes, sir. governor well said, appreciate it very much. talk to you soon happy new year.

all right folks, coming up later in the show today's sentencing, the last gasp of the biden lawfare campaign against trump. really. we'll ask alan dershowitz and greg jarrett about all that and remember folks kudlow available as a podcast. episodes every weekday right after the show. we're on spotify and apple and fox business podcast.com. podcast how about that? be right back.

larry: all right unconditional discharge in the new york courtroom today. the alvin bragg case, utter nonsense, sounds like surrender to me but we've got greg jarrett, and alan dershowitz, and author of "get trump" thanks to both of you. greg jarrett? what's unconditional discharge

mean? i see that word and unconditional surrender, trump won. that's what i think. >> yeah, i think you're right. trump's not the loser in all of this , larry, despite the verdict and sentencing. he won the lawfare war that was waged against him because americans saw this for what it was. a contemptible weaponization of the law by democrats to win an election, but in the process, they destroyed themselves, their own blatant corruption, voters saw it. they resented it and vented their anger at the ballot box in what i'd call the ultimate jury verdict so when you think about it trump should actually send a thank you card to bragg and merchan for helping him win the election, which makes the real loser, sadly, the new york legal system. it's in tatters. the d. a. ran his office into the ground aided and a betted by

these far left judges who don't care about law and justice. larry: well alan dershowitz, you know the ultimate jury vote was november 5, as you know and i think i would also point out that every other part of all of this lawfare stuff has fallen apart. it's all fallen apart, prof professor. >> well you know? i devised the term lawfare and wrote about it in the late 1960s and its become this horrible horrible thing used against american democracies. of course new york suffers and trump won but the ultimate loser is the american people and what judge marchan did was so sleazy and sneaky. he announced in advance that he wouldn't sentence him to jail. i've been doing this for 62 years. i have never had a judge tell me in advance what the sentence was going to be. in fact when i bring my clients to the courtroom for sentencing i have them bring their toothbrush because i know never

whether they are going home or going to the prison, but he did this purposely, in order to get the supreme court not to take the case now, and two of the justices fell for his ploy. they said he's not sentencing him to jail, so we're not going to stop the case. this was worse than lawfare. this was an attempt to manipulate the legal system but greg jarrett is right. of course they lost. the american public saw through it. thank goodness for the common sense of the american people. we hate, we hate tyranny whether it's judicial tyranny or any other tyranny and that's what we saw in this case and the american people gave a resounding answer to that. larry: greg jarrett? jack smith wants to release the documents of his special counsel business but judge aileen cannon in south florida said no and at least at the moment, the 11th circuit said

she's right. now they are going to look at the other side, but my question is, with jack smith releasing whatever he thinks he's going to release, again to spite trump and act like a two-year-old because he was voted against it and out of office, but judge canon said jack smith doesn't exist legally. so if you can't exist, if you don't exist then you don't have a report. that's my point. and non-existing report or something like that. i'm suffering from a head cold but you see what i'm saying? he doesn't exist, so what's his report? >> no. it's an unauthorized report. remember the judge said, you're unlawfully appointed, which means your investigation, your findings are unauthorized. it makes no sense for somebody who is unauthorized to release, therefore an unauthorized report, as a practical matter though, doesn't matter because

jack smith, to use the professor's term was so sleazy that he leaked to the media through the court system just before the presidential election the exact same material that's in his report. he wanted to hurt trump's chances at the ballot box and it didn't work. he violated department of justice rules. should have been fired but of course, attorney general merrick garland was all-in and happy that he did it. larry: you know, professor alan dershowitz, for heavens sake you can completely disagree with me but i'm going to assert here that there's with respect to merrick garland there's a special place in hell for him because he did not act like a upstanding straight-shooting attorney general. i'm sorry. i give you the last word on it. feel free to disagree. >> [laughter] well, merrick garland was a great judge. i thought he would have been a great supreme court justice, but this was the wrong job for him.

he has no feel for the way in which the law is used politically. he's naive. i don't think he's a bad man but he wasn't up for the job. a good attorney general would have stood up to the politicians and said no. we're not going to do this. we're not going to let this abuse of the legal system go forward so i'm giving him an a for effort and a b minus with great inflation for failure to really be up to the job. he shouldn't have taken the job. he should have stayed on as a judge where he was doing a great job. i'm looking forward to pam bondi coming in, because he is terrific. she knows better than anybody i know the relationship between law and politics. larry: yes, she did and kudlow gets a d minus. >> i give garland an f. larry: and give kudlow an a. the grading system is very strange. you two are wonderful. thanks very much. skipping right along here, joining us now, new york congresswoman extraordinaire claudia tenney and ned ryun

president and ceo of american majority. welcome back. claudia, you haven't even wished me a happy new year. are you not talking to me after all these tv appearances? i wanted to talk for a moment about executive orders. now, i know that there's going to be one big beautiful reconciliation bill. the house won that, and mr. trump won that and even some tv hosts have won that, but what's so interesting is trump is now talking about i think 25 executive orders. we have, i think, we have a actual screen listing them but they basically, i don't know whether you got it or not, i don't know whether we can put it up on the full screen or not but basically, they are covering, they are going to turn back biden's climate policy and they are going to turn back biden's border policy and it can't come soon enough for me. what do you think about all of this executive orders? >> well first of all happy new year, larry good to see you back on the air again.

and secondly, i agree with greg jarrett. i give merrick garland an f. i think he's a dirty cop and he did a terrible job and was corrupt and knew exactly what he was doing and they slow-walked all these investigations with the ways and means committee so these executive orders, look, it's really important because biden just destroyed the country in the first day he signed all these executive orders in, taking away our ability to have normal permitting. he cutoff our ability to do natural gas, exploration, cutoff the keystone pipeline. all the things that were driving our economy. opened up the border, ended, you know, ended the title 42 eventually, allowed catch and release to happen, ended remain in mexico. all these things keeping us safe and all of the things giving us energy production which you know, larry we've talked about this. the most important thing president trump needs to do right now is get rapid growth. we have four years probably two years for sure, at least

for the first two years while the house is and anything he can do as an executive order we can't get done in congress has to be done to unleash our american energy, make sure that we bring our supply chains back, steal the border, deport criminal illegal aliens, save the taxpayer's money, make our nation secure, and bring back growth and obviously we'll work on the tax cuts in one big beautiful bill or maybe it l be two big beautiful bills. whatever we have to do, we have to get utility done. larry: no, one big beautiful bill. >> i want one big beautiful bill but trump, you know, he wants it done no matter what. larry: ned ryun, what is really wonderful and there's a big story about this in today's new york post and i guess mr. trump was talking about some of these orders, executive orders with the republican senators, end catch and release. just end it, and restore catch and deport, and that includes, by the way, there's another proposal in there, that said no

more airplane flights across the country busing illegal immigrants to hither and yon. let's just start, and they are going to start deportations very quickly, ned. i mean, i looked at that list and we finally got it up on the full screen and then you add to that, remain in mexico. i mean, claudia is right about the energy stuff but this border stuff, you know, it's so simple, ned. just turn back everything joe biden has done. >> correct. yeah, i mean, biden went out of his way, day one, to absolutely destroy and annihilate the border security and essentially, for all intense and purposes put up a neon sign saying "everyone's welcome" and we saw this massive influx of illegal immigration which trump is going to put a stop to on day one. he's going to secure the border, and stop the madness and i think empower steven miller and tom homan to begin the deportation immediately of those illegal

immigrants with violent criminal records but i'd argue, larry he keeps right on going. we think the figure is 10 or 11 or 12 million illegals that came in under the biden administration. all of those people should be sent right back home and every republican should support trump in this if they have any desire for self-preservation to actually have a two-party system moving forward so i hope every republican on the hill actually supports trump in his deportation efforts above and beyond the violent criminals. larry: i'd love to talk more but i'm against a hard break. i'm sure the republicans will support him. congresswoman claudia tenney, ned ryun, coming up next, whose going to take responsibility for the awful response to the california wildfires? i mean, there's just hideous tape of governor newsom so anyway our own steve hilton who is live from los angeles is going to talk about it with me for a little while.

[rock and roll music playing] xfinity. made for gaming. rewards members, get early access to an ea sports fc25 kit. visit xfinity.com/rewards. larry: all right, joining us now, our great friend steve hilton, fox news contributor, live from los angeles and all the horrors with the wildfire. steve hilton? first of all, i'm praying for everybody out there to somehow be safe and secure including my brother, and his

bride. they live in hollywood but point came up, steve. i mean, we know gavin newsom and the rest of them out there, but all right joe biden wants to give money. he said he's going to, he said today on twitter he's going to give whatever it takes, federal assistance, whatever it takes for the next six months. i think that i have a better idea. federal assistance when donald trump is president, federal assistance, yes, in return for changes in legislation and policy that i'm not going to say, you know, will change the santa ana winds, but they certainly can improve forest management, reservoir management, fire hydrants, worry about people and not smelt and so forth and so on. all the crazy left wing things that have gone wrong out there. i would make that swap if i could see it in writing. >> 100% you're tote tal totall, larry.

the level of rage and fury is off the charts everyone can see the diplomat sates rust policies that led to this and you're right we need to make changes and i've been working on my policy organization, on monday, we're going to be releasing a whole list of specific suggestions that could be followed. things that could be done immediately, things that are more in the medium term and the long-term to stop this kind of thing happening because the truth is, all of this was avoidable. it really was avoidable. it's a man-made disaster. yes, we have the wind. it's something that happens, but just down the road, in orange county, they don't have problems like this. why? because after the laguna beach fire, 25 years or so ago, they learned the lesson. you have defensible space around properties, proper brush clears, they fund their fire department. they have the fire departments in the cities of orange county, that do things properly et cetera. it is not that complicated. it's common sense. of course, you don't have any of that here in l.a. county by far left democrats.

larry: what would you do, steve, right off the top. to help the situation tomorrow what would you do? >> well, here is a couple of examples. first of all help the humanitarian aspect. help people who displaced and families. i've got the faith organizations lined up to put some work into that, but specific things. so many people are without power. guess what? you can't bring in generators from other states because of the climate rules from the california air resource, scrap them. all these rules on permitting and regulations that make it so long to rebuild, when schwarzenegger was governor they rebuilt after the earthquake in the matter of 84 days they rebuilt a freeway because they scrapped the ridiculous regulations. that's the attitude we need now. get it done quickly. get rid of all of this ideological bureaucratic nonsense. larry: thank you, steve hilton and yourself. be safe out there. folks be right back with my last word.
