larry kudlow was quoted in the story, our esteemed colleague, and he makes good points.market policies could help tax receipts come into deal with the deficit, unleash the doge boys, elon and vivek to start cutting waste. that could help. be the salesman that you are, donald trump. because remember bond market works on perception. tell the market we get it. we're looking to cut stuff, and i think that's where we're going with this. if he does that, he might be able to put the genie back in the bottle. the bond market vigilantes look, right now, just to get started, and then they will blame trump obviously but i am telling you. i'm not saying none of it is his fault or worry about tariffs. i really do believe trump will do tariffs sort of strategically. that's what he did the first time, but really this spending and biden has already blown through, this is fascinating. byron donalds who turned me on to this story a long time bond trader, puts out the bear traps report used to work at lehman brothers so he knows a little bit of financial crisis, he said biden has already b

programming note, at 4:00 eastern time on fox business, the terror investigation in new orleans. 4:00 on kudlow. let's get to these markets, strong starch to learn new year after selloff to the end of last year, some profittaking. great to have you here, we talked about downtrends in the market but a bit about momentum into the new year. do you think it is there? >> happy new year to you and yours also. my big issue, there was a laundry list of barriers in stiff downtrends, oil, oddities, transports, economically sensitive managed care, ton of healthcare to have the market to stand fast and tall going into the new year, got to put lows and goes decent way to start that process. the market was lifted up in a big way to the end of the year by ten stocks being 55% of the nasdaq 100 and 8 stocks 36% of the s&p and those are mostly big mega, not sure they can continue to lead forever. if i can say we have a 3 to one advance to decline instead of 1 to 3, a few in the last month or so. ashley: as always you are watching of the 10 year yield like a hawk. it is down today which is a tailwind to equities

crisis which could leave homeowner on the hook to rebuild their lives, so let's any bring in larry kudlowt incredible that live shot there continuing to watch these fires burn. we have also popped that up -- we also have some aerial shots of the absolute destruction. >> it's a nightmare. >> sandra: a moment ago we were showing the planes arriving from quÉbec to put water down. they're still at zero percent contain. ment. >> my brother, he and his life live in hollywood hills. they had to evacuate last night. they're back in their apartment. at least he's been texting me this morning. i think there was some containment of the hollywood fires. but, look, this is a tragedy. it's a nightmare. it's a catastrophe. and it's a natural disaster. but a couple of things i'll say. i'm not an expert on california insurance. but you have to look at the insurance companies like all state is pulling out, okay. the other one, let's see, state farm, is pulling out y are ey pulling out? they're not pullinout because they don't like helping people. e reason, the state insurance regulators won't let them char

. >> you think it is tough now and you have a trump agenda, that is one reason larry kudlow talks about big reconciliation, not just extending the tax cuts but putting it all in one bill because the house republicans will have one shot and you mentioned that the continuing resolution, i would call it an omnibus bill that was a giant bucket of mud. it's >> i think that was a mistake and it was called out by elon musk and others, put out there and got a lot of people upset and i think speaker johnson probably -- i should say representative elect johnson until the vote happens, probably has learned from that experience. that said, when you lose these other two, and i think they are in the chamber now. they will be sworn in before they resign. the purpose of that is because they want to have these numbers. but you are going to have the slimmest of slim majority. that is why it is leaning towards one budget reconciliation effort to put everything in one vote. that said, when you get into the complexity of tax law and all the things that go into that. it could be a long time before you get th

the truth took a backseat quicker than me and larry kudlow at a drive-in movie. he is all hands.t the biggest lie in the history of presidential politics. joe biden is fit to serve. to serve white? carrots to his imaginary pet bunny? but they prepare these lies because they were cowards, all of them. hollywood was no better comedian suffer the same weakness claiming they were pressured to stay online. here is jim gavin admitting people told him not to criticize joe or harris. >> what was interesting about this election was maybe because it was so important and maybe because it was such a short election for kamala that they were like don't criticize her and like that is actually bad. and i think in hindsight a lot of people. >> greg: they call it hindsight for a reason. that is what you see when you were kissing ass. here is the suddenly brave whitney cummings. >> it is wild to me that we are in a time where if you are on the left and you don't criticize your party how much do you even care about your party do you know what i mean? what is going on in the left i finally just broke

nonetheless, johnson telling larry kudlow he remains positive. >> i think it's going to be okay, larry'll have maybe one no vote. i think. i think we get it done on the first round. i'm a proven fighter. i'm a maga conservative. i'm also someone that can get everyone in that broad array to work together and that's what's necessary in the days ahead. cheryl: johnson met with members of the house freedom caucus thursday who were seeking prom moi'ses on spending -- promises on spending cuts and assurances that members will be involved in high stakes negotiations. still some lawmakers not ready to commit. >> are you undecided right now. >> i'll make a decision tomorrow. the speaker is discussing things and a lot of things -- >> what do you need to hear still? >> we'll talk about that. >> can you be more specific? >> no, i'm going to tell you, it's the things you report on, fiscal discipline, secure the border, pass reconciliation, pass tax cuts and jobs act, pass the 19 other appropriation bills on time. cheryl: joining me now is oklahoma congressman kevin hern, the house republican policy

the same three actions i get when i stick my finger in larry kudlow's belly button. he is smiling. and so the trumpian messages that used to upset me then resonated. i changed, trump did not. so when people in the media said i used to like gutfeld but he has changed right i changed. if you don't you realize you are wrong you are a [bleep] idiots. much like this fellow. let's be honest it was a terrible night last night. >> it was a terrible night for women, for children, for the hundreds of thousands of hardworking immigrants to make this country go. >> greg: somebody fetch that guy a 12 pack of tampons. that is a trump effect but not a healthy one. here is trump on meetings with democrats. >> a lot of ceos -- including some who censored you for years ago have been coming down here to kiss the ring. did they change or did you change? >> maybe we all changed. i think they have gained a lot of respect i think they looked at the mandate that we got as we know we won the popular vote. >> greg: a good answer for its suggestive middle ground even if he did not have to give

the great larry kudlow thank you so much welcome to the "evening edit" i'm elizabeth macdonald. >> investigators believe jabar picked up the rented f-50 in houston, texas december 30 and he then drove from houston to new orleans on the evening of the 31st and he posted several videos to an online platform proclaiming his support for isis. >> our subject is 37-year-old matthew and the individual sustained a gun shot wound to the head prior to the detonation of the vehicle. >> it's not lost on us that it's in front of, you know, the trump building, that it's a tesla vehicle, but we don't have information at this point that definitively tells us or suggests it was because of this particular i ideology. liz: fast-track, expedite trump's nominees and trump's agenda. get america safe and moving again. we've got new details coming in now on the two terror attacks in just 24 hours in new orleans and in las vegas outside of trump hotel. america now asking who is in charge? where was joe biden, where was kamala harris? tonight, a former top fbi official will break all of this down, and this , to democrats

>> well, look i am with larry kudlow we got to do this in my preference would be to do it in one billat matters most is not so much whether one bill or two bills but its got to get done as trump said, by memorial day that means in first 150 days or so they can do this they can do border security energy stuff walk and chew gum at the same time my point that longer you wait to get this done, the more you delay that kind of big recovery we want to see, and more uncertainty about whether at all one quick point talking stock market returns got experts on stock market i am not expert i will tell you in my new book with laffer called the trump economic miracle the stock market performs of the dow the nasdaq, and s&p 500 are adjusted for inflation twice as high under trump as under biden. maria: good point but yields are spiraling i don't know where this ends look at 10-year we are talking about 10-year kissing up to 5% john lonski has massive implications across the economy and debt, your reaction to this move in rates on heels of jobs numbers at 4.78%,up 10 behaves right now. >> quite a sho

welcome to kudlow. i'm larr

kudlow says it a lot but he's open also to splitting this into two. >> my preference is one big as i say one big beautiful bill. now to do that takes longer, you know, to submit it takes longer actually, but so it's a longer process. i would say i'd live with that. i believe we would get , i don't know, to me it's just a cleaner, it's cleaner. it's nicer. reporter: okay, so they haven't decided yet here on capitol hill what they are going to do but some republicans fear that one monstrous package might cause delays and risk national security legislation. >> i think it's a risk to our country to delay border security so if you're a tax cutting person which i understand and you're holding the border bill hostage i think that's a dangerous thing. reporter: and speaker johnson also said today that they haven't quite decided on the route they are all just making pros and cons at this point. liz: really interesting journalism aishah thank you so much. >> the only thing my being the oldest president, i know more world leaders than any one of you ever met in your whole goddamned life. liz: w

so it seems common sense is spreading faster than crabs at larry kudlow's seafood bonanza. the backlash has backed off. bottom line, january 20th is really going to be about the return of the adults. so enjoy your playtime, kiddos in six days. recess is over. yes. gary, it's welcome. >> tonight's guest. >> he was in the shark tank and now he's in my hot tub. shark tank star kevin o'leary. she traded the sidelines for the headlines. host of the michele tafoya podcast, michele tafoya. someone gave her a baby shower, but she still uses her regular one. new york times best selling author and fox news contributor kat to. and for him, all golf is miniature golf. new york times bestselling author, comedian and former nwa world champion tyrus. no. kevin, you are a businessman. a wealthy businessman, a billionaire. and you're watching this kind of unfold. and what is your take on this as seeing that? like what? it seems like the right moment for somebody who's a builder, who knows business comes into power. >> and i tell everybody about trump. >> you have to learn how to distinguish

there's been speculation about the revival of larry kudlow and the nec. how big a priority should this be, if at all? is something that can be executed via regulatory action? mr. hassett: i have seen speculation about that but i have not participated in discussions on that matter. i'm not informed on that matter. if there is something cooking or not cooking, i can't say. there are a lot of things going on and a dual writing thing is something that i'm not informed. reporter: your views on capital gains tax? mr. hassett: as a public finance economist indexing capital gains for inflation is a where the idea. it is probably not nearly the big deal now that it was back when inflation was at a big number. if tax is supposed to be on real income, you should index capital against her inflation. -- for inflation. it is not a common around the world to do so. if someone told me the u.s. decided to figure out a way to do that, i would not see that as a negative. linda: inside u.s. trade. reporter: thank you, sir. i want to ask about trade. there's a lot of concern

president-elect, and i'm dig in particular of our friend -- thinking in particular of our friend larry kudlow. what he wants in terms of the reck sill illinois -- reconciliation bill, he wants one big, beautiful bill where you have not only the border security issues, but also the tax extensions. is it possible to get all of that in one reconciliation bill as the first order of business? >> well, it can't be the first order of business. it took us months to do the first tax cuts bill nine years ago. the bottom line is if that's what the9 president wants, he's going to of to wait for the summer to get ironed out. there are a group of to us that support breaking it up into two pieces, the first where we give the president the monies that he needs to secure our southern border and start deporting illegal criminal aliens. finish. david: but, congress bank, when was the last -- congressman, when was the last time we had two reconciliation bills in one year? if i'm not mistaken, it was back in the '90s, wasn't it? >> we actually had two attempts during president trump's first term, but they were ob

it's the same three emotions i get when i stick my finger in larry kudlow's belly button. that's why he's smiling. and so the trumpian messages that used to upset me then resonated. i changed. trump didn't. so when people in the media said, i used to like gutfeld, but he's changed. damn right i changed. if you don't, when you realize you're wrong, you're a idiot. much like this fella. >> let's be honest, it was a terrible night last night. it was a terrible night for women, for children, for the hundreds of thousands of hard working immigrants who make this country go. >> oh, someone fetch that guy a 12 pack of tampons. that's a trump effect, but not a healthy one. here's trump on meetings with democrats. >> a lot of ceos, including some who censored you four years ago, have been coming down here basically to kiss the ring. did they change or did you change? >> well, maybe we all changed. i think they've gained a lot of respect. i think they looked at the mandate that we got. as you know, we won the popular vote. >> this is a good answer, for it suggests a middle ground, e

the truth took a back seat quicker than me and larry kudlow at a drive in movie. he's all hands. they told the biggest lie in the history of presidential politics. joe biden is fit to serve. yeah. to serve what? carrots to his imaginary pet bunny. but they parroted these lies because they were cowards, all of them. and hollywood was no better. comedians suffered the same weakness, claiming they were pressured to stay in line. here's jim gaffigan admitting that people told him not to criticize joe or harris. >> what i thought was interesting about this election is, and maybe because it was so important, and maybe because it was such a short election for kamala that people were like, don't criticize her. >> and i'm like, that's actually bad to have that approach. yeah. and i think hindsight week, a lot of people feel that way. yeah. >> well they call it hindsight for a reason because that's what you see when you're kissing. here's the suddenly brave whitney cummings. >> it's just wild to me that we are in a time where if you are on the left and you don't criticize your party, how m

the media is like larry kudlow when he says this won't hurt a bit. no one believes them anymore. true, the left wing matrix of hoaxes is imploding. like brian stelter's favorite hammock. identity politics. identity politics has been destroyed. taking with it die anti-white racism and any woman of the year who wakes up with a. alone. if you're in the media, you're toast. clip all the out-of-context quotes you want. that stuff doesn't work. i guess you'll have to do some real reporting again. and the liz cheney's the kinzinger's. you're done. not only do the winners hate you, the losers do too, for you made them lose worse. call it the trump effect. it's the freedom to say what you know is real, not what the media tells you is true. it's now okay to say a man can't be a woman, or that biden is demented, or that taylor swift is a six at best. and that's thanks to trump, because before, if you said all that, you'd be labeled a trumper and a target of hate. the never trump movement tied the hands of every sensible policy, whether it's fighting crime or illegal immigration, because suc
