[0:00] Former Trump White House economic advisor turned MAGA Fox News host Larry Kudlow just [0:05] concluded a telephone interview with an audibly hoarse and sick Donald Trump, and we have [0:11] to talk about it because even by Fox News standards, it was pretty unhinged. [0:15] But before we unpack all that, if you end up liking this video and you want to support [0:19] the channel, please be sure to hit the like, subscribe, and notification bells before you [0:22] go. [0:23] All right, folks, let's dive in. [0:25] Larry Kudlow and Donald Trump, a match made in hell. [0:28] I want to begin with this thought, sir. [0:29] I think you're on a roll, OK? [0:32] I think you're on a roll, if you can hear me. [0:34] I mean, you've been relentless. [0:36] You're campaigning. [0:37] It's Herculean. [0:38] You're turning the tide. [0:39] You're getting voters out. [0:41] You're raising enthusiasm. [0:43] The economy is booming. [0:45] We're the hottest in the world. [0:46] Stocks are doing great. [0:48] Drug prices are coming down. [0:51] Oil is flowing through the Persian Gulf. [0:53] I mean, I think in the last month you may have turned this whole thing around. [0:57] So can you pull it off? [0:58] Can the GOP hang on to its majority? [1:01] What are you thinking, sir? [1:02] So again, this is something that you'd see out of Pyongyang, which is the capital of North [1:07] Korea. [1:07] This is the way that North Korean media would address their dictator. [1:12] Prescription drug prices, to the extent that they've dropped, are a consequence of the Biden-era [1:16] legislation, the Inflation Reduction Act, which included a provision that permitted Medicare [1:20] to renegotiate or to negotiate for the first time prescription drug prices with the pharmaceutical [1:25] industry. [1:25] Joe Biden and the Democrats are responsible for that. [1:28] Donald Trump had nothing to do with it. [1:29] So Larry Kudlow was trying to give Trump credit for legislation he had nothing to do [1:33] with, textbook Republican strategy. [1:35] Number one. [1:35] Number two. [1:36] The economy is not booming. [1:37] As a matter of fact, most macroeconomic metrics under the Trump administration are worse than [1:41] they were under the Biden administration. [1:43] And Larry Kudlow never called the Biden economy booming. [1:46] And of course, it's also reflected in the polls. [1:47] The American people do not like the Trump economy. [1:50] They like the Trump economy less than they liked the Biden economy. [1:53] So Larry Kudlow is just objectively wrong, per usual. [1:55] What's your what's your take on this story? [1:58] I have worked very hard. [1:59] I've done 14 rallies in nine days, and that's a lot. [2:04] I'm going back to Ohio. [2:07] I have a gentleman named Houston who was a great, great football player that didn't want [2:11] to talk about it. [2:12] I would have talked and said I'm the greatest of all time. [2:15] Of course you would, because that's just what you do. [2:17] You lie your ass off because it's more about your own vanity and self-aggrandizement than [2:21] anything else. [2:22] Again, you can hear it. [2:23] Trump is visibly hoarse, visibly sick. [2:24] So if he does this rally in Ohio, it'll be interesting to see how shitty he looks and [2:28] shitty he sounds. [2:29] You know, nobody can believe it. [2:32] I mean, it's just amazing. [2:33] He went up 14 points or something. [2:36] And that was my rally. [2:37] That was when I said, you know, the word, the A word. [2:39] And everyone said, oh, why is he talking about that? [2:42] You know, they didn't put the whole clip on. [2:43] They just put, I looked at his body. [2:47] I said, look at this guy. [2:49] This is crazy. [2:50] And instead of the fake news, they said, what? [2:58] So again, it's like two minutes into the interview and Trump can't help but [3:02] talk about John Husted's ass, which is something that he rants and raves about, not just at [3:06] Ohio rallies, but he's done it at rallies out of state that have nothing to do with John [3:10] Husted's senatorial race. [3:12] And no, there is no evidence that John Husted has skyrocketed 12 to 14 points in the polls [3:16] as a consequence of anything, let alone Trump rallies. [3:19] He disappeared for 12 days. [3:23] He was eating too much meat or something or there's something wrong with him. [3:26] You know, you usually find that out right after the election. [3:30] But that's a very risky thing. [3:31] No, Ken Paxson is the greatest attorney general. [3:35] I had to work. [3:36] He's the great in general in Texas and one of the couple of best in the whole country. [3:42] And he'll be a great senator. [3:44] The way he dresses or they don't like the way he talks. [3:49] It's irrelevant. [3:50] He's a great attorney general. [3:51] That's the only thing that matters. [3:53] No, the thing that people don't like about Ken Paxson isn't just the lack of charisma, [3:58] but also the lack of ethics. [3:59] He is the second most corrupt Republican in the country after Donald Trump himself, [4:03] which is saying something. [4:04] Ken Paxson was so corrupt. [4:06] He was impeached just a few years ago as the sitting attorney general of Texas by Texas [4:11] Republicans and came very close to being convicted by Texas Republicans. [4:15] Do you know how corrupt, shamelessly, despicably corrupt you have to be for Republicans in the [4:19] age of Trump to try to convict and remove you from power? [4:22] That's how corrupt Ken Paxson is. [4:24] You're going to have a lot of wins, Larry, that people weren't talking about. [4:27] And I give the I give the rally. [4:30] I give myself a lot of credit. [4:32] I mean, I'm being thanked. [4:33] Listen, I'm being thanked by everybody in the party. [4:36] It's I'm working like hell. [4:38] Listen, the economy, sir, is booming. [4:41] Again, hilarious. [4:42] So the economy is not booming. [4:44] The economy is doing worse than it was under President Biden. [4:47] And we saw how the American people reacted to the Biden economy. [4:49] Inflation is higher now because of Trump than it was when Joe Biden left office. [4:54] And Trump promised that he would cut costs on day one. [4:57] That's why he's polling so atrociously in the polls. [4:59] And there's nothing apparently that the Republicans can do to alter the alternative other than to [5:03] try to gaslight people. [5:04] The American people recognize that not only did Trump renege, not only did Trump fail [5:08] to achieve his promise of cutting costs on day one, he actually, starting day one, took [5:13] action to actively raise the costs of the American people. [5:16] That's why they're so pissed. [5:17] Take advantage of suckers. [5:19] And I'm not a sucker that I can tell you. [5:21] They have never been hit so hard. [5:23] And now my question is, do I make a deal with them or do I finish them off? [5:26] That's my only question. [5:28] Do I make a deal or do I finish them off? [5:30] Remember, we now control the harm most straight. [5:33] They get nothing. [5:35] We get everything. [5:36] They get nothing. [5:37] The oil is flowing. [5:37] We're doing more business in The Wall Street Journal. [5:41] We're doing more business through the harm most straight today than before the war started. [5:46] The Navy blockade, the Navy and our military are unbelievable. [5:51] The Navy and the military are unbelievable. [5:54] But the fact of the matter is that the price of oil remains elevated well above it was what [5:59] it was before the war started, as are gas and diesel prices. [6:03] Gas is about a dollar and a half more expensive than it was before the war. [6:06] That's Donald Trump's fault. [6:08] Diesel prices have doubled on Donald Trump's watch because of Trump's actions, particularly [6:13] the war in the Strait of Hormuz, the war against Iran, than what it was before the war started. [6:18] That is all Trump's fault. [6:19] Look at what's happening in California. [6:21] They don't have an affordability platform. [6:24] They never have. [6:25] They hate gasoline. [6:26] They hate cars. [6:27] They hate fossil fuels. [6:28] They don't want us to be energy independent. [6:31] So they do want us to be energy independent. [6:34] Democrats and liberals and progressives do want us to be energy independent. [6:37] We also want a diversified energy portfolio that starts to invest heavily in renewable [6:41] energy without ceding that particular market, that global market to China in a way that's [6:46] also responsible for the maintenance of the planet on which we live. [6:50] Right. [6:50] This is, again, something so stupid that Larry Kudlow doesn't grasp. [6:53] So now he's just lying, not just about California Democrats, but about Democrats in general. [6:58] They hate cars. [6:59] They hate cars. [7:00] They have no affordability agenda. [7:02] Again, you can try to gaslight the American people all you want, but there's a reason [7:05] that the Democrats have won every special election since Donald Trump took office and [7:10] why the data show that the American people actually trust the Democratic Party, despite [7:13] its problems, more on affordability in the economy than they trust you and Fox News [7:18] and the Republican Party. [7:19] You guys have absolutely no way out of this mess that you have created for yourselves. [7:25] You have single-handedly done it for yourself. [7:27] And I want to close with this because Larry Kudlow desperately tries, I guess, for whatever [7:32] reason, perhaps he believes that it would be beneficial for Trump, and maybe it would [7:36] be, but he desperately tries to get Donald Trump to commit to some sort of optimistic, [7:40] affirmative agenda to unite the country. [7:42] Will you end this campaign on an optimistic note, on a pro-growth note, freedom, free [7:50] enterprise? [7:51] We don't want socialism. [7:52] We want to keep the borders closed. [7:54] We want the culture to be consistent with Western traditional values. [7:59] Will you be an optimist at the end, sir? [8:03] Well, I think I'm the biggest. [8:04] That's why I'm campaigning like crazy. [8:06] I've never campaigned for midterms. [8:07] You know, president... [8:08] I just love how he's... [8:11] I'm the biggest. [8:12] Again, he makes it all about him. [8:14] That's not what Larry Kudlow asked, man. [8:16] Larry Kudlow didn't ask about you and why you're so great or you're so amazing. [8:20] You're neither of those things. [8:21] But about optimism and like an affirmative agenda. [8:23] Can you do that? [8:24] Well, I think I'm the biggest. [8:25] That's why I'm campaigning like crazy. [8:27] I've never campaigned for midterms. [8:28] You know, a president generally loses midterms. [8:31] No matter if it's... [8:31] You know, I don't know why. [8:32] Nobody's ever explained that. [8:34] But I'm campaigning harder than I would campaign for myself because we have so many good people [8:40] and they want to keep it going. [8:42] And I don't want them turning around. [8:43] We have number one growth in the world. [8:45] Yes. [8:46] We're the hottest country in the world. [8:47] Yes. [8:47] We have the lowest crime now. [8:49] I mean, with all the stuff that they let in. [8:52] Yes. [8:52] But so many were taken out. [8:54] Look at Washington, D.C. [8:55] It was a killing field. [8:57] Three people a week were being killed. [8:59] Now Washington, our capital, we love our capital, is clean and beautiful and no graffiti on [9:06] these beautiful columns, these magnificent pieces of marble all over there, red graffiti [9:13] on the fountains, on all the beautiful statues. [9:18] They're all horrible. [9:19] They hadn't been fixed in 50, 60 years. [9:21] A place looked like hell. [9:23] They're gleaming now. [9:24] So rather than you see Kudlow's face there, he's like, that's not what I was at. [9:28] I was trying to get you to focus on touting the economy and hyping up the economy and making [9:33] an affirmative economic and affordability message because the American people don't [9:37] give a shit about the columns. [9:38] They don't give a shit about the reflecting pool that you fucked up and blamed on vandalism [9:42] when in fact that wasn't true. [9:44] And then you tried unlawfully to prosecute somebody for a crime they didn't commit. [9:48] People want to hear about what you're going to do to make the economy better for them. [9:52] And you can't. [9:53] You can't even pretend to care. [9:54] So instead, what you do is say they're lying. [9:56] They're wrong. [9:57] The economy's great. [9:58] Look what I've done with my renovation projects and my interior design projects. [10:02] This is part of the reason why Donald Trump is so unpopular with the American people in [10:08] every major policy area, both domestic and foreign. [10:10] This is the reason why. [10:11] He gets a softball interview from Larry Kudlow to try to make an affirmative case to Fox News [10:16] viewers, and he can't even do that right. [10:18] So total disaster. [10:19] In the meantime, let me know what you think in the comments.
