All the news reports are chronicling how cold it's going to be when Iowans caucus on Monday. It could be -30 degrees — BRRRR! But you know what? Iowans are going to vote anyway, because they know it's January, and it gets cold in January. This is not a big deal. On the other hand, I'd like to enlarge the "Iowa Cold" story. The Washington Post is running a story on how "severe cold weather could break hundreds of records this weekend." Really? A blast of arctic air will freeze the western and central U.S. with temperatures in some places...

Former President Donald Trump reflects of Georgia indictment and others, calling it a 'witch hunt' and more in 'Kudlow' exclusive.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis hasn’t even officially announced his 2024 presidential candidacy, but that didn’t stop a Fox Business panel from offering a brutal assessment of his standing in the Republican field. The governor has barnstormed the country in recent months, especially early primary and caucus states where he hopes to drum up support ahead of his anticipated announcement this week. Polling shows him well behind former President Donald Trump. On Monday’s edition of Kudlow, Larry Kudlow, Mark Simone, and Pete Hegseth discussed the ways they feel DeSantis has underperformed. “I’m waiting for DeSantis to show me an economic prosperity...

On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Kudlow,” Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL) criticized House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) for extending proxy voting in the House due to the coronavirus pandemic while Title 42 is set to expire. Cammack said, “This is absolutely nuts. The double standard in Washington, it just never ceases to amaze me. You know, Nancy Pelosi, just a few weeks ago, put out a statement saying that we needed to extend proxy voting in Congress because of the health emergency, that members weren’t able to cast their ballots and their votes in person. So, you’ve...

Joe Biden and the Democrats need to give up the ghost on Build Back Better already. But the Democrats just don’t seem to be able to quit it. I guess the bottom line is that they don’t have much to promote themselves for re-election with, as we go into the midterms. They don’t have much that they can pitch to their base that they’ve done that’s positive. Not that BBB would be positive, but the leftist base would like it.But if the last word from Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) wasn’t enough on Tuesday saying it’s not happening, now there’s more.On...

Billionaire Elon Musk has made a name for himself recently by mocking the left’s nonsensical multitrillion-dollar economic agenda. Two major media personalities have said he’s a good fit to replace Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. Forbes Media Chairman Steve Forbes and Fox Business host Larry Kudlow both gave the world’s richest man their endorsement for the top position at the Fed during the Dec. 16 edition of Kudlow. During the beginning of his segment with Forbes, Kudlow asked: “[W]hy doesn't Jay Powell and the Fed have the backbone to take aggressive action to curb record-high inflation? By the way, if...

Inflation has reached its highest level in decades. While we're not yet in a situation like we had in the 1970s -- and we can hope that the Federal Reserve will regain control before it reaches that point -- there are still plenty of reasons to be upset that inflation is getting so out of hand. Inflation is commonly defined as a general increase in prices, leaving our money with less purchasing power. When the prices of goods and services increase faster than wages, workers essentially take a pay cut. Savers and those who receive interest payments also lose out....

CATO Director of Tax Policy Studies Chris Edwards joined Fox Business to dismantle a leftist argument from the Soros-funded ProPublica that the rich don’t pay their fair share in taxes. Edwards ripped ProPublica’s recent report that used selective data to claim that “[e]xperts have long understood the broad outlines of how little the wealthy are taxed in the United States.” He retorted on the June 17 edition of Kudlow: “ProPublica summarized data on just 25 tax returns of selected wealthy people, but they were unrepresentative of the broader group of wealthy people in America.” Edwards lambasted the outlet for being...

Fox Business host Larry Kudlow shocked the airwaves when he argued that the U.S. tax burden will be greater than that of communist China under President Joe Biden’s tax plan. Kudlow stated that “America will have significantly higher tax burdens than China” if Biden achieves his goals during the May 18 edition of his show Kudlow. Kudlow said this would occur “if we jack up the corporate tax rate from 21 [percent] to 28 percent, if we increase global minimum corporate tax from ten-and-a-half to 21 percent, and if we double the capital gains tax.” In his estimation, “That’s not...

Economic adviser to late President Ronald Reagan Arthur Laffer joined Fox Business yesterday to dismantle the nutty economic thinking behind President Joe Biden’s leftist tax agenda. Fox Business host Larry Kudlow asked Laffer if it was “true that rich people and corporations — and by the way, small business tax hikes are in this Democratic plan — is it true they don’t pay their fair share?” Biden has been reportedly eyeing the “first major” tax hike since 1993, which would include reversing some of former President Donald Trump’s tax cuts. Laffer didn’t hesitate in his answer: “No, it’s not true,...

Hoover Institution visiting fellow Bjorn Lomborg joined Fox Business to slap down the left’s climate change fanaticism. Lomborg told Fox Business host Larry Kudlow that there’s “a lot of hype going on with climate change.” He suggested that there has been a lack of a sense of proportion when it comes to the focus on climate change. Specifically, Lomborg stated that “the U.N. Climate Panel tells us that in the 2070s — so, more than 50 years from now — the net impact of global warming will be equivalent to each one of us losing [only] somewhere between 0.2 and...

Fox Business host Larry Kudlow was eager to rip apart a lie Vice President Kamala Harris told Axios about the vaccine rollout effort of former President Donald Trump’s administration. Kudlow went right for the jugular on his debut show Kudlow by accusing President Joe Biden’s administration of peddling “falsehoods” about his predecessor and being “protected by the media” in the process. Harris had falsely claimed to Axios on video that the Trump administration had “no national strategy or plan for vaccinations.” She continued: “[I]n many ways, we are starting from scratch on something that's been raging for almost an entire...

During the Election Day edition of Fox Business’s Varney & Co., host Stuart Varney told Kudlow that “[w]e’ve got restaurants in Chicago closing down. We got some curfews in Massachusetts. We’re adding some restrictions on economic activity in various parts of the country.
