Biden, Speaking of which, is in Allentown,
PA, is a live shot of a coffee house.
There the president is dipping in and out of businesses
there,
small businesses, talking to owners and touting his policies.
Bidenomics. And just out today,
the Wall Street Journal is sounding the alarm on what
tax plans may be coming down the Pike.
The paper argues 6 trillion in taxes are at stake
in this year's elections,
bringing Larry Kudlow, host of Kudlow,
on Fox visit. You've been chomping at the bit to
get in.
Here we look, we should always be cutting taxes,
not raising them. But can I just go back to
John Kerry for a moment?
One of my favorite people.
I don't. I don't want to know what the individuals
are in the State Department.
He's probably right about that.
What I want to know is the Washington Post,
You guys have been you spent basically two hours talking
about how cold it is in Iowa.
It's cold in Iowa. You're very right.
There's no no denial. It affects voter turn out.
It's also very cold throughout the Midwest.
There's a story in the Washington Post today
60° below normal parts of Montana where we were married
-40°, this is the Washington Post.
So I just want to know,
with Mr. Kerry, whatever happened to global warming?
Why hasn't there been front page stories every.
I mean, every time you get a little heat wave
or every time you get a bad rainstorm,
everyone runs with these crazy stories about global warming,
global warming, global warming, and climate change.
All right, so we have special envoys and this and
that.
And God knows we have EVs.
We'll get to EVs in a minute.
No one wants an EV,
but how about global freezing?
All right, not just in Iowa,
but throughout the whole Midwest of the country and maybe
Montana,
maybe. So it evens out.
That's my point. And you can't apply long term cycles
of warming
to what amounts to bad weather for a week or
two.
This is what Kerry and these others in the administration.
The whole thing is AI just want to it is
a hoax.
Global warming is a hoax.
The idea that it's some kind of emergency is a
complete and utter hoax.
And the socialist real world deal is a hoax.
Also economic consequences of those policies and that is the
thing.
Yes. And the presidents out there touting his Bidenomic economic
policies on the ground there in Allentown.
I would love to know what those businesses are saying.
And Hertz just got rid of all of their electric
vehicles.
Hertz. Big rental car. They just got rid of them.
They were praised earlier by Biden for buying them.
Turns out nobody wants them.
And the other story is,
who's the other? Oh, yeah.
Wait, I
They did a poll. One of the accounting firms did
a poll.
Here it is. 67% of consumers said they prefer an
internal combustion engine.
Sandra, that's a gasoline powered car.
We know, we know that it's it's an issue of
6% preferred pure
EV, 21% hybrid, and it's freezing
-40 in the Midwest. I always know how to what
are we doing this.
What is this? All the fair question.
This is insanity. Utter insanity.
This was Lael Brainerd at the White House press briefing
room yesterday.
And I thought, what would Larry Kudlow say if he
heard her say this?
Listen, why do you think the phrasing bionomics has not
caught on?
So I think, again, the
president's economic policies are showing
great results. What's your message to Americans who are feeling
this every day when they buy and use things.
If you look at overall purchasing power
people can buy as much as they could pre pandemic
and they've got
$1700 extra to spend. Whoa that is just not true.
How do they get that?
That is just not true.
But the point is under Biden for the three years
has been president,
real wages have gone down depending on how you measure
it between 3:00 and 4 1/2%.
So here average weekly earnings for middle class family right.
Average weekly earnings adjusted for inflation.
We've done This is from the
Bureau of Labor Statistics. Started out at
$399 down to
$380.00. That's over three years.
You lost 19 bucks and you lost 5%
of your purchasing power.
That's the problem. Well, Brainerd,
I'm not. It's just smart lady.
She's got a great job.
She's NEC director. It's important.
It would have been nice if there was a follow
up how she got to that number.
Just saying that number doesn't make any sense.
Don't know where we've looked at the numbers and it
is so cold.
Sandra, I don't understand the Green New Deal and I
don't understand global warming.
I myself am just freezing on this set.
Larry, great, great to have you.
I don't keep it so cold.
Here, do it so cold.
Oh, gosh, this country is cold.
Oh, Larry, we will see you at 4:00 on FBN.
