Transcripts For FBC Kudlow 20240703

Kudlow, im larry kudlow. After allowing roughly five million, wage cutting rent spiking, law breaking, sex and Drug Trafficking terrorists threatening Illegal Migrants to come across an border since january of 2021, President Biden and his dhs secretary alejandro mayorkas, have now decided, wait for it, wait some more, they have decided that donald trump was right all along, build that wall, sort of. Remember this, from just a couple years ago, take a listen. Trump campaigned on build that wall. Are are you willing to tear that wall down . President biden no, there will not be another foot of wall constructed on my administration, number one. Number two, what im going to focus on and the fact is that somebody in this group written a lot about the border im going to make sure that we have Border Protection but it is going to be based on making sure that we use hightech capacity to deal with it. And at the ports of entry. What about confiscations larry well, anyway, that was campaign promise, but five million illegals later, mr. Biden is kind of slow on the trigger, dont you think . Sort of like closing the barn door after the horses have already bolted . I think theyre only talking about less than 20 miles, 20 miles. Even that seems to be to assist border authorities to babe bip sit the illegals as illegals as they cross into the u. S. , with half of democrats in some kind of revolt against Illegal Migrants invasion of america, joe biden is did desperately trying to put out a big political fire. I dont believe a word of this stuff. Yesterday the dhs inserted into the federal register. There is need to construct physical barriers and roads in the vicinity of the border the United States inrd to prevent unlawful entries into the United States. Hold on, does biden agree with his own dhs that we need to finish the law . No, of course not. No, it is all phony media stunt. Here is some more proof. Listen to this and weep. President biden one question on the border wall. Border wall money was appropriated for border wall. I tried to get them to reappropriate, redirect that money. They didnt, they wouldnt. Meantime there is nothing under the law other than they have to use the money for what it was appropriated before. I cant stop that. Do you believe the border wall works . President biden no. Larry there you go, there you go. Mayorkas and other administrative people are harping on the need, i love this, to waive 26 federal laws, 26 federal laws, including the clean air act, Safe Drinking Water act and endangered species act. Imagine that, laws. Now one federal law that theyre not worried about breaking is the law that protects our borders by preventing illegal entries. Or, the laws that protect american sovereignty. They have been breaking those laws for three years. I dont hear anybody talking about that. Meanwhile in an intin view with our Brooke Singman from fox digital, i will quote, biden sees our country being invaded. What about the 15 Million People from prisons, mental institutions, insane a aisle sums, terrorists that have already come into our country, unquote. Untruth social the former president demanded an apology. Good luck on that, sir. Mr. Trump repeated that biden has to reinstate remain in mexico and title 42 in order to get serious about closing the border. The former president built close to 500 miles of the new border wall. The whole thing could have been finished by now if biden had any horse sense. Mr. Trump supports catch and deport to go along with remain in mexico, title 42 and completed wall and if joe biden met those conditions, things would be a lot different but no matter what phony election cycle promises biden is making the reality is, the biden democrats remain in favor of open borders. Nothing is going to change that, period. All right, just a few pearls of wisdom. Joining us now florida congressman Byron Donalds and texas congressman troy nels. Gentlemen, thank you for coming on, mr. Byron donalds, im a cynic, i dont believe a word of it. Less than 20 miles. It is really going to help some kind of entry points and babysitting and registration and if they were serious think would have done this three years ago, what do you think about this new announcement . This announcement has come out, larry, simply because the president s poll numbers suck. Everybody knows our southern border is a mess. You have the mayor of new york, eric adams is planning to go down to do something the president hasnt done, see the southern border in person, actually look at it. So this white house is reeling. They have to respond to the political damage they have caused, the actual damage that they have caused and theyre going to throw this fig leaf but there is significant work that needs to be done at the southern border. Republicans in the house have a plan for that. It is hr. 2. It is sitting there anytime for the senate to take up anytime they want to. As we go through government appropriations border must be secure, not 20 miles joe biden is talking about, all the fixes in hr. 2. Larry mr. Troy nels, welcome back. Hr. 2 is very powerful piece of legislation tied to appropriation. I dont hear the bidens embracing that. I dont hear senate democrats, Chuck Schumer democrats embracing that but you know, troy, here is my other thought, if they were serious about a real, about face, okay, look, i politicians, they change their minds, if they were serious they would talk about title 42, they would talk about remain in mexico, they would talk about truly across texas border wall, you know, finishing what trump started and so forth, so on. They would be talking of the language of closing the borders and protecting our sovereignty, congressman nehls, im not hearing that language. Am i missing something . Youre note hearing that language because what he just said was exactly what trump did and trumps border policies we had the most secure border in my lifetime but on january 20th, when joe biden took office, he reversed them all. He knew it wasnt good for america, he knew that it wasnt good for america because he did it because he hates donald trump. He flipped everything on its head. Now it is campaign season, folks. Remember we got an election coming up in 2024. His poll numbers are in the toilet, in the toilet. There are a few people whispering in his ear, saying joe, you better do something about the southern border because the American People are paying attention. Youre losing your own conference. Even senator manchin said build the wall. Weve got problems. So he is going to have to do something if he wants to be the nominee and eventually try to be the next president but i think its too late. It is about damn time this congress and the American People are paying attention because its destroying our country. You want to fix the border problem, go right back to donald j. Trumps policies. I loved it when you played joe biden sitting on that chair looking confused when they asked him do border walls work . He said no. I hope somebody asks him on the stage in the 2024 campaign against donald trump. Because donald trump will win the election on that comment alone. Larry byron, thats why i dont believe a word of this change or aboutface or hr. 2, catch and deport, any of the things, remain in mexico. I dont buy any of it, haw about this byron, byron, he should apologize to donald trump. Mr. Trump asked for an apology because mr. Trump has been right all along. Byron, when do you think that apology from President Biden to donald trump is going to take place . Do you think that will be soon, the apology . Man, i wish it were. I wish i would actually do the right thing. I think that would come after the 2024 elections when he goes down to just a terrible defeat. And frankly joe biden deserves to be defeated. Nothing is working right. Were talking about the border but everything is going wrong. He is the master of disaster, joe biden, he has got to be defeated. It is just that simple. Larry were you a official, a border official before you came into congress . No, i was a county sheriff about four hours north of the border. Larry right. Begg county. I had people in my county killed by illegals, not just illegals but ones that have been deported, six, six previous times. We got a southern border crisis. Joe biden you own it. Yes, not only should he not get reelected but he should also be impeached. Larry well you know, they talk about, it is so interesting to me, mayorkas and others talk about how theyre going to have to violate certain laws like endangered species act like that is the most important thing we should worry about the at the border. Endangered species act. Endangered species is the law and order. And clean water. One thing they dont talk about, mr. Nehls, is closed borders, american sovereignty, immigration laws being broken on daily basis. My pal mark levin was on this show two nights ago talking about that. That could be impeachable offense. Theyre not talking about those laws. That is one of the things this sounds so phony, troy. It is. Governments are doing what they can to augment the border patrol. Texas, were sending dps troopers, National Guard to do what we can to secure the texas people. When you have this administration, you have their attitude, this is borderless, borderless by design. My book is coming out, borderless by design. This is about votes in the future. That is what this is all about. It is by design. Larry Byron Donalds talk to us if you would, please, about hr. 2, what is in it, why it could solve the border problem . Well we do a couple of things in that bill. Number one, we actually reinstate Border Agents ability to make determinations of credible fear. We do not allow people to claim asylum at the southern border or illegal points of entry. They have to do that in the nations theyre in or at a country with the nearest consulate or embassy. We would stop the use of the cpb1 act. That is an act theyre using in the administration to basically put the asylum process on uber eats. You can file for asylum wherever you want to and just show up unannounced. It gets rid of those three things. It puts cap on number of asylums that can be triggered triggeredr into our country. It actually put as number, a limit on bed spaces available, all common sense things so that people who want to come to our country through asylum or any other process its orderly, not just for those people but it is orderly for the country to accommodate and a simulate those people into our states and into our cities. The joe biden plan is no plan. It is pure chaos and disaster. That has to be completely undone. Hr. 2 can do that. Larry troy nels, well get a change in leadership for the house republicans, i get that, but hr. 2 will be a key component i hope of future budget negotiations when push comes to shove in middle of navy . The Democratic Senate may not like it but can we count on republicans to push hr. 2 hard because that would be an ultimate solution i think for the border crisis . Yeah. We did and we did pass hr. 2 in the republican conference. We got 219 votes. It passed. We sent it over to Chuck Schumer. We know he will not do anything about it. He will not do anything with the conservative bills were passing in the house of representatives. I dont think he will work with us at all. We need, tell you larry, want to fix our country, we need the white house back in 2024 and you know who i my guy is, donald j. Trump. Larry gentlemen, thank you very much. Mr. Byron donald, great state of florida. Mr. Congressman troy nehls of texas. Thank you for coming on, appreciate it.

Joining us to talk about it we welcome back mike pompeo, distinguished former secretary of state, fox news contributor, author of, never give an inch, fighting for the america i love wrote. Mr. Pompeo, good to see you again. I heard you gave a barnburner at harold hamms conference, must have been oklahoma or could have been texas, but basically i was reading your remarks in breitbart, mike. Basically the bidens want less energy, period. Now that is mostly weighted towards no fossil fuels but they want less energy at home and less energy abroad and i am trying to figure out how you can grow economies or power economies without energy, mike pompeo, so please help me out here . Larry, its crazy. You and i both worked in the trump administration. I worked on National Security. You were working on energy and domestics policy. They are to intertwined. You cant grow the American Economy and cant keep the American People safe without Affordable Energy. Talk about renewables. People just want affordables, right . They want to cool their lights on, cool their homes in the summertime and wintertime and consistent with their Family Budget and this administration has destroyed that opportunity. They have destroyed the Strategic Petroleum reserve. You is now at its lowest levels in decades. They made it impossible to drill on federal lands. They made permitting a pipeline is nearly impossible. They have done all the things that drive cost. Larry, you were talking a little bit about americas debt, 33 trillion, you have to reduce spending but you have to grow this economy to get that 33 trillion back under control and you cannot do that without an independent Energy Policy from the United States of america where we are dominating the global space. We can do it. It is underground. It will create tens of thousands of jobs. It is good for america. We got to get back to that. We had it right for four years, larry. They have now blown it all up. Larry you say in this speech and interview, really important thing, i harp on this a lot, rick perry harps on this a lot on the show, mike, this crazy Energy Policy which is a no Energy Policy, this helps china, this helps russia. It doesnt help the United States and it doesnt help our allies. Another thing, mike, just recently, so saudis and the russians with wednesday wednesday and iran, other venezuela and iran otherwise known as opec plus. At one point it got back to 100 bucks. It is a little slower now. The reality were helpless. Were like a paper tiger with this goofy Energy Policy. Here we go again, damaging National Security abroad and Economic Security at home. You nailed it, if you shut in American Energy by denying Capital Providers the chance to invest and get a return on their capital to build out lng terminals and export facilities and all the pipelines, when you shut that down we are in for a long run where america is at the mercy of the rest of the world for its energy. That is tragic. It doesnt have to be. We know how to get this one right, larry. There are problems that are complicated and tradeoffs. There is no tradeoff. If you want a cleaner world, dont send your energy to be burned in china. Dont manufacture it there with coal thats polluting the world. If you really think Climate Change is problem, make it in america, make it with American Energy, it will be cleaner and safer and americans will be able to afford the products and well create a lot of jobs too. It will be great for the American Economy. We can grow this thing again but American Energy will be the center of it. Larry bidens will kill million jobs in the car market, mike. Electric vehicles and batteries will be made in china. I dont always side with the uaw, particularly the leadership which tends to be very Leftwing Democrat but the reality is, because of this Green New Deal stuff and electric vehicles and the end to gaspowered cars, but this is all part of the same, less energy, war against fossil fuels, they will knock out a million jobs. You know the car Workers Union or nonunion, mike and the knockon effects. People that work in diners, in Office Buildings and gas stations and you name it, you will knock out a million jobs. They dont tell you about that in all their press releases and all the campaign speeches, they dont tell you about that. No, thats right. A couple of facts, larry, right, this economy is driven whether thats plastics, whether its farmers in state of kansas who have fertilizers that is energy based we need Affordable Energy produced hire at home in america. I know this sun comfortable for some to hear i predict 10 years from now, 20 years from now, as a world well consume more fossil fuels now 10 years from now today as were sitting here. The world will be dependent on Affordable Energy for a long time. We ought to produce it here at home. We will create source and scores of american jobs and do a lot of good for the economy as well. Larry it is an important point, like it or not the bidens will lose this battle, the point rick perry makes, if we can sell more lng, that means we have to build more lng production facilities, what not, pipelines, sell more lng to asia, china, india, they would be less reliant on coal, that would make it a cleaner world. The bidens cant figure this out. Two plus two equals four but they cant get that. You follow the logic . Lng is a important aspect. I interviewed our former boss on this show, i dont know a month or six weeks ago, we were all out there selling lng which is really a key solution that the bidens cant stand. All across the world were out there selling american product, affordable American Energy through lng. If you think it is good for the economy, great. If you dont believe it, if you have a climate fixation you should want that too. The reason the United States has been able to control its carbon output, whether we made such a big transition in that isnt because of solar and wind. It is almost exclusively we have transitioned out of more carbon producing intensity and fossil fuels to natural gas, that is great transition, whether Climate Change or growing the American Economy. A good thing for america, good thing for the whole world and american security, larry. Larry mike pompeo, distinguished former secretary of state. Put his book, please up on the full screen again. I love to sell books, particularly pompeos books. There its, never give an inmuch quote. Keep pounding away. Thank you, larry. Bless you. Larry bless you too. Coming up here, folks, the fbi is targeting Trump Supporters and voters according to a big story in Newsweek Magazine . Well going to talk about it with joe concha and mark simone. Then socialist aoc wants another tax hike here in new york. Now folks, she has already taken way over half of my money and i dont think it is to good purpose. Well talk about why that, why the government spends too much, with Grover Norquist of americans for tax reform, all when kudlow returns. Good. Command attention. Its not just a comfortable interior. Its a quiet refuge. Theyre not just headlights. They light the way forward. The new fully electric audi q8 etron models. I have type 2 diabetes, but i manage it well. Jardiance its a little pill with a big story to tell. I take oncedaily jardiance, at each days staaart. As time went on it was easy to seee. Im lowering my a1c. Jardiance works 24 7 in your body to flush out some sugar and for adults with type 2 diabetes and known heart disease, jardiance can lower the risk of cardiovascular death, too. Jardiance may cause serious side effects including ketoacidosis that may be fatal, dehydration, that can lead to sudden worsening of kidney function, and genital yeast or urinary tract infections. A rare, lifethreatening bacterial infection in the skin of the perineum could occur. Stop taking jardiance and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of this infection, ketoacidosis, or an allergic reaction, and dont take it if youre on dialysis. Taking jardiance with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. Jardiance is really swell, the little pill with a big story to tell. Larry well, there they go again, why is the fbi targeting Trump Supporters and voters . A brand new story in Newsweek Magazine. It is about 20 pages long. Joining me to talk about it mark simone, wor radio host, joe concha, media politics columnist for the messenger and fox news contributor, author of here i go, the truth of about joe bidens terrible, horrible, no good very bad presidency. I like saying it. This is a story in newsweek, about 20 pages long a new campaign, they dont say maga. Antigovernment, antiauthority, violent extremists, agave, fbi is looking for them all over the place. The sources here are admittedly Anonymous Sources they say it is aimed at the trump people. What due think, mark simone. A technique that goes back to the french revolution. You create a demon to rile up the mob they have to be afraid of. They always do this. It was the neocons at one time. It was the tea party. You had to be afraid of the tea party, they were extremists. You would see video of them, couple of Senior Citizens at a state fair with signs. It is absolutely ridiculous. Just trying larry do you think it is true what theyre saying . Oh axe shootly. Larry you think it is true . Biden without corrupt media he wouldnt get out way request it. Call him police state joe, everything is a police state here. Larry joe concha, you know, robert ray, the fbi director, is that his name, robert wray, he swore up and down to jim jordan in Judiciary Committee hearings there was evenhanded justice. Fbi was not involved in politics. Sure, yeah. Weve seen this movie before. Im glad mark brought up the tea party, right . The irs obviously targeted them. We saw this during the obama administration. Then obviously we saw during parents meetings at school boards, right, where the doj then labeled them potentially domestic terrorists. So is this possible . Heres all i know. Fbi is supposed to be apolitical. So is the cia, the dni. Who ran the fbi under obamabiden in james comey, right . Since then he has written go antitrump books, got a showtime series. He exposed himself where he leaned. Obviously john brennan ran the cia. He is over on msnbc right now. I cant tell the difference between him and Keith Olberman and his analysis. Was he apolitical. Another big contract, his role to go on there to bash trump. By the way, brennan and clapper, been hired back at the Biden Administration to serve on board of dhs. Larry clapper who lied several times under oath before congress, just lied, outright lied. Right. Larry this has legs. You think this story has legs, whatever robert wray happens to say. So speaking of congress, weve had a little bit of upheaval on the republican side, mark simone. Yeah. Larry who are you barking for speaker . Who are you personally backing for speaker . Donald trump would be great but that will not happen. I think i just saw him on this program. Byron daniels,. Larry byron donald. Byron donalds. Remember if the republicans had first africanamerican speaker of the house. Imagine what would that do larry really smart guy. Super smart guy. Wonderful guy. Just doing that, would have a lot of effect on the election next year. Larry President Trump is going down to speak to the republican conference on tuesday. Yeah. They need a coach. They need a Vince Lombardi on the field to whip them into shape and that will be donald trump. Larry joe concha, Vince Lombardi, i remember Vince Lombardi. From new jersey, coached high school. Larry engle wood cliffs. Saint cecilia parochial school. Now youre showing off. Larry were distracting here. Steve scalise is running. Jim jordan is running so far. Byron donalds may be running. It is a very interesting pick mark simone make. What do you think . Here is what i want selfishly from entertainment perspective, i wrote about it with messenger. Com, make donald trump. Picture state of the union address, kamala harris. Biden talking about bidenomics, how board is secure, everything going at the end of speech he rips it half. In next day, running impeachment against his 2024 opponent. If that doesnt do wonders, always the toprated show. You get five million a night if this happens. Selfishly i want that to happen. I see Byron Donalds, i see how he does it. V interviews. Not afraid to go anywhere, cnn, msnbc, doesnt matter, you need somebody fearless and can move the ball forward. Larry i said this last evening, liberal media is running wild, republicans cant govern, republicans are stupid, republicans this, republicans that, basically a handful of people shouldnt have done what they did but i see a republicancom back. They will find a speaker. They have a strong bench. They have got good policies. Theyre determined we just heard hr. 2, the Border Control bill, bidens phonying up some border regulations now, they will push that bill. They will be tough on ukraine. They will be tough on spending. They want to open up the fossil fuel spying got. Why cant republicans in congress and house make a comeback and put real heat on the Leftwing Democrats in senate, schumer democrats . Messaging, too. Border is open, shoplifting is legal. First order of government, safety of the border. Jim jordan would be another good choice. He would have to get a jacket. Larry his hat is in the ring. He never needed a jacket. He never had one before. About impeachment, you need a wartime counselor,. Larry what do you think . Republicans can have a comeback. That is all im aiming for here. Of course i hand. News cycle. Mccarthy thing has been swept out to sea because the Biden Administration building a border wall. Larry what do you think about that . Is this biden capitulation, will biden apologize to trump frum. You would need remorse in your dna this president doesnt have that. No apology. Needs remain in mexico if he wants to truly do something. Larry that is exactly right. Put in title 42. Are you waiting for joe biden apologizing to donald trump. Joe biden has no intention of building a border wall. This is election pandering. Larry 1miles, they will do. Not even 20 miles. 17 miles for this border wall. Do what he does, just talk, talk. Larry mark, they have to overturn the endangered species act in order to complete this wall. Is that a bone chubber or what . Solar powered wall with windmills on it. Will they call the wall racist now that biden is building 17 miles. Larry tomorrows headline. Cant wait for it. Larry you heard it here first, mark simone, joe concha, whatever they said you herd it hear first. Grover norquist, president of americans for tax reform. Grover i need major help here, i want to talk about the your article in the wall street journal that the government spends too much money but before we get to that, my favorite socialist aoc wants to raise my taxes in new york, again, grover. Im already paying well over half of my earnings to her and i dont like it one bit. What do you make of that . Socialists will never stop, Grover Norquist, help me out here. Okay. Well, i think the wall street journal answered your question, move to iowa. Iowa has decided they will phase their income tax down to zero and they have an incredible team. Kim reynolds the governor, jack wit the senate leader, dan dawson ways and means committee, pat grassley the speaker working to face that income tax down to zero. What a message for republicans running for president. You show up in iowa, what have they been doing in iowa last several years and committing to do in the future, phase the state income tax down to zero, cutting corporate rate down in half. When you go to New Hampshire for the next election what are they doing . Their income tax is phased down to zero in ayear 1 2. And then so South Carolina, the governor said, were taking our income tax down to zero. Theyre right next to North Carolina which is going to zero. Theyre right next to florida which is at zero. They have begun the process in South Carolina of going down to zero. This is the opportunity to educate all of our president ial candidates about where the republican partys head is. These are all republican states. These are all red states. Theyre taking their income taxes down to a flat rate and then to zero. Larry by the way, governor kim reynolds will be on the show tomorrow to talk about her lower tax rates and flatter tax rates. Grover talk to me about this spending. You have a article in the wall street journal, what is it, yesterday . The data proves government is spending too much. You know what is amazing about this article, the government has spent so much money it is way beyond population and it is way beyond inflation. Theyre spending at all levels of government and i kind of like the way you compared it you know, to a normal cost of living increase in a population increase. There is no boundary to Government Spending. Yes. One of the challenges we have the americans for tax reform, the group i run, we do the no tax increase pledge. Almost all republicans house, senate, governor, president , senate, state legislators take the pledge and keep it, say were not raising taxes. The question what do you do on spending . You cant have a pledge on spending with a number, numbers change every year. What we put together is a study of all 50 states. Dan helped put together the numbers and structures that says basically how are states doing this year and over the last 10 years, are they growing state Government Spending faster than your paycheck goes up, population plus inflation . Or not as fast. If we can stay under that line, government becomes less painful. If youre over that line like the blue states all are, it becomes more and more painful and they raise taxes. Well every year put out the information for state legislators to make sure if you stay under this line, youre not becoming more painful to your citizens. Larry terrific. Grover norquist, americans for tax reform. Thank you ever so much, appreciate it. First up radical prosecutors in new york want to take President Trumps businesses away.

The issue is Real Estate Market valuations versus tax valuations. Oh, wait a minute, the issue is leftwing judges versus trump and a leftwing attorney general versus trump. Joining me here is trump attorney alina habba who was in the courtroom today. Alina, thank you for coming on. Thank you. Larry they have already, the judge already make a decision with respect to the trump assets and properties . Tell us about that, because he has no right to take away ones lifes earnings . Were seeing all legal excess seven bounds being broken at this moment. The judge did do that, before even walked into court. I want the American People to understand this. The judge already ordered, trump organization, affiliated companies, even his trust he dissolved that was ordered before we walked into the courtroom, before an expert took the stand, before anybody took the stand and before my clients could ion take the stand to defend themselves. He summarily ordered that. That is something that, breaking news we will be appealing and that will be filed tomorrow. Larry youre going to file the appeal tomorrow and the appeal will go up to the state court of appeals . It will go larry might have more to do with the law than this superior court judge . Yes. Larry maybe. Not going larry i know, i know. I dont want to get you into trouble. I dont want to send you to like is island. I dont want to send my former boss trump to rikers island. That is not happening. Larry there are some people say idea of seizing businesses, seizing assets, seizing business property, is clear violation of 14th amendment. Strong legal case there. Right. Look you have Business People that are watching your show, your show is amazing lets think about the precedent this will set in the state of new york. People in new york should be worried. If were saying that the attorney general can leap and dive into private businesses, private enterprises because they are using a Consumer Fraud application in a private business, that is a very concerning and very serious issue for businesses in the state of new york. That has never been done before. Larry who is the victim here . There is none. Not the banks. The banks were paid off. There is no consumers. Trumps own the properties. By the by, we covered this on this show, a great, couple of good new york sun articles of all places, the difference between a tax assessment of a property versus a Market Property valuation thats right. Larry is night and day. Why doesnt this judge get that . Well i dont know because another point is the tax assessor who actually on maralago, everyone knows this, judge said maralago, the tax assessed value of maralago of 18 to 20 million is what the value should be on statement of financial condition, he put it higher. Frankly it was not high enough. Maralago is almost worth about 2 billion. This guy is saying this is the value that should be used. That is what were appealing tomorrow, along with Everything Else in there. Even the tax assessor and the department in palm beach came out and sold the sun, guys, sorry, the lawyers were right. That is tax assessed value, not market value at all. It is a very basic concept larry south Florida Realtors laughed at that 18 milliondollar assessment. You cant get anything in palm beach proper for 18 million. A shoe box. Larry i understand that. What about this gag order that the judge has imposed . I hold a peculiar view of first amendment, bill of rights, free speech. Right. Larry i dont, a lot of people, i wont say every person but many people believe this is a socialist, state attorney general, who ran against donald trump, trump was not on the ballot but she ran against him any way before this happened. This judge made disparaging remarks against former President Trump. Now they want to gag the president. I dont know they want to gag you, get you in trouble . No, i was also gagged. It wasnt per se for me but i represent the president. A gag order is effectively silencing your right to free speech and we did, you know, explain that but the reality of the situation is, the judge here has done and will do what he wants. It is a bench trial as we know. Under 6312 we were not entitled to a jury. Were stuck with this, dealing with going to the Appellate Division every time there is something we dont agree with. You know well continue to fight like we always do, keep going up the ladder. It is a very serious precedent. Jack smith, we havent seen this. To do that to a president and sitting candidate who is leading in the polls because of political opponents you know minion frankly is coming after him is a problem. Thats a problem, again, scary precedent. A lot of things happening in this courtroom in a civil Equitable Court decision that shouldnt be happening. Larry i had the impression, just last point. Yeah. Larry the Trump Legal Team was crossexamining these accountants and the judge didnt want them crossexamined. Can you give us a brief summary of that. Sure. Weve been going back and forth in court about going through every single statement because, number one, were not supposed to be looking at this many statements because there is something called statute of limitations. His position is, no, we can let it in and it will go in and we objected as all the press has reported. And were going to continue to do so. Then he said, no you have to summarize it, summarize it. Well we cant. You know you have to have your day in court, this is the problem that were seeing. They had three years, three years of investigations, thousands, millions of pages. Ive been on this case for multiple years and then we go to court and were going to rush . I dont think so. I dont think so. Larry do these accountants actually, i was reading in the New York Post this morning, it didnt sound like they were actually making a valuation case. It was more narrowly defined tax appraisal case. Maybe i didnt understand that. The Attorney Generals Office . Larry well the Attorney Generals Office, even the accountants that you were interviewing on the legal team . Look, the accountants, now, lets remember what happens here in real practical larry theyre just accountants. Theyre accountants, but what happens. The attorney general goes starting investigating them, freaks them out, tells them they will bring sec violation, they freak out and desist. Weve seen happen with the d. A. , ags working together in new york. Dont forget this started with bragg. He didnt brit case. We have this attorney general, frankly the case in my opinion is falling apart. Larry falling apart. Alina, thank you for your time. We appreciate it. You have to go back down there tomorrow . Yes, sir. Larry good luck on that. Thank you. Larry right when you get work. Alina habba, mr. Trumps attorney. Thank you so much. We appreciate it. Im kudlow. Well be back in my last word. I have complete freedom of speech on this one. sfx stone wheel crafting the biggest ideas inspire new ones. 30 years ago, state street created an etf that inspired the world to invest differently.
