here with me to discuss, new jersey's democratic governor, phil murphy.s one of the highest sales taxes on gasoline of any state in the u.s. 42 cents a gallon. president biden says you need to lift that temporarily. are you going to? >> it's hard for us to do that. i actually think the fed should be doing it, calling for that for several months. our tax is constitutionally tied to infrastructure investments, which would have to stop and then when we restarted them, they would cost more money. so a, i think the feds could do it more easily. they could print money, by the way. we can't. secondly, we're delivering historic relief to people's pocketbooks through other means. property tax relief, today we just announced a sales tax holiday on back-to-school stuff. free state park admission, and looking at doing a whole lot more. so we're tackling affordability but through different doors. >> president biden called on congress to lift the federal gas tax, as you know, for 90 days. the agin your state for a gallon of gas is almost $5. $4.97 a gallon. let's say b

while there are people like governor phil murphy doing it right, there are states like texas and floridago the other direction, that will do it wrong, and so we need a federal response. i believe that americans will pay attention to the fact that what was done, is what we always wanted, which was to support gun owners, and reduce gun violence. and by giving the democrats the ability to lead this process, we have shown who we are and what we want to do and at the end of the day, gun violence will be reduced because of this, and it is a big deal. >> fred, it is so heartening to hear you say that. obviously it is incremental as you say and there are so many people who wished it went so much further but you think that this will actually make a dent. >> listen, a friend of mine who is running for congress, jared, says it is necessary, but not sufficient. so, what happened now is necessary. but, of course, there is more that we need to do, but allison and victor, we need to reduce the gun violence death rate. this deal will do that. the other is reduce the instances of gun violence. this deal

look, i wish phil murphy luck. i just want to say this.is going to show you that the public is rejecting socialism. it's rejecting wokism, it's rejecting the green new deal, and it's rejecting attempts to transform our culture, keep parents out of school. the whole biden agenda, which phil murphy would probably run on, which you're seeing at the g-7 meeting, but look janet yellen was the one that started price controls on russian oil. all this stuff has backfired disastrously, you know, just in the past year, and i think the voters are going to reject this soundly and we're going to start getting back to free market capitalist economy and much more. stuart: that be nice. larry: and i think that's coming. stuart: i think you should setup a cage fight with governor murphy on your show like at 4:00 this afternoon on "kudlow" because that, i would watch, believe me, larry, but we will be watching anyway. larry: we'll invite him on the show. he's actually a nice guy. stuart: okay. larry: he's a nice socialist. he eats with a knife and fork, he'

governor phil murphy of new jersey sent a letter to several businesses telling them overturning roe vlling effect on their ability to hire and retain top female talent. several companies have offered to pay for employees to travel to get an abortion if they can't get one in their state. in texas some republican lawmakers want to ban companies that do that from doing business in the lone star state, the heritage foundation says it is unlikely abortion laws will have any impact on where companies decide to put their headquarters. heritage foundation tells us state governors trying to move businesses to their states are the same states businesses have been fleeing because of their terrible climate and lackluster economy. sacrificing competitiveness, growth and employee incomes and total compensation just to take a political stance on an issue about which americans are divided is bad business, the heritage foundation called it wokeness signaling by democratic governors. i want to show you the market again, we are still very much on the downside, 465 points down for the dow, 270 down for t

phil murphy said i'm no longer going to stick with the democratic demands, just find out what i can getd this is the best deal in order to attack the problem we are having with these school shooters that you can have. it is 85% of republicans want. carley: let's go to lucas tomlinson. the president called this the most significant gun safety law that has passed in some time. something we've heard a lot of people say. he also talked about the families of people who lost their lives in the school shooting and the trauma they are suffering as a result of gun violence. you've been following this closely and that does raise a key question, would this law have prevented uvalde in the buffalo shootings? >> 6 of the 9 deadliest mass shooting since 2018 took pl. with the shooter, male, 21 years of age or under. this law the president biden assigned does not raise the age, did not do what it did, a 3 day cooling off period. the question is these red flag laws, this data is only as good as the data you are putting into the system. with those mass shooters in buffalo and uvalde, if you don't have d
