So, President Trump's sentencing in his New York hush money case has now been delayed till September 18th. Our legal experts, Leah Terrell and Andrew Cherkaski on that in just a couple moments. But first up, our own Lydia, who has all of the details. So, Lydia, the beat goes on. Yeah, a busy day over at John Warshan's chambers in Manhattan. He weighed in this afternoon on the sentencing matter in this New York criminal case. It's now delayed to September, and otherwise would have happened just next week on July 11th. This delay is coming after Manhattan prosecutors earlier agreed to a postponement of the sentencing, requested by the lawyers for former President Donald Trump, only hours after yesterday's landmark Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity. Now, Trump's lawyers asked for a delay in this sentencing, so they could brief the court on immunity. They want to argue that Trump's conviction for felony falsification of business records must be set aside after yesterday's decision. So, take a look at this. Here's the new timeline we're going to pull up on the next series of events to look out to. Look out for. Later in July, we have the briefing that's due from the defense attorneys from Trump and the prosecutors, and then September 6th is when Juan Warshan is going to decide this motion, how immunity impacts this New York criminal conviction. And then later, just four days, I believe, on September 10th, that's what we're going to have the second presidential debate, if you can believe it. And then the following week is when we're going to have the sentencing in this New York criminal case. So, a lot packed into two weeks coming up in September. Now, what exactly are the Trump lawyers going to argue in their briefing? Well, the Supreme Court ruled that a former president is immune from prosecution based on official acts. But it also ruled that prosecutors cannot use evidence that involves official acts to prove other claims. But Trump's lawyers say that is exactly what happened in this trial. They say the jury was able to hear evidence relating to official acts like witness testimony about events inside the Oval Office. That's Madeleine Westerhout and Hope Hicks. Social media posts during President Trump's term in office told records of calls involved in Trump while he was in office in 2017. Now, recall, Trump was convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records. This was the first criminal matter to reach trial, but now sentencing delayed in an unexpected twist, not past the election, but right up against it. The other case is now delayed, it seems, past the election. So much to keep track of Larry, and we'll keep you on top of it. Wow. Wow. That's all I can say. Thanks, Lydia, who we really, really appreciate it. So Joe Biden is now running against the Supreme Court. And that's a big mistake. And that's the subject of the riff. It now looks like Joe Biden and the Democrats are going to run against the Supreme Court. In the name of democracy, of course, ha, ha, ha, this is a big mistake. The court's decision to give President, any president, by the way, absolute immunity from civil suits for acts within the outer perimeter is not even remotely radical. It was mainly taken from the Nixon versus Fitzgerald court opinion way back in 1982. Similarly, the court followed the constitution to offer absolute immunity for actions within the core power of the executive. This is actually something that could benefit Joe Biden or any other president. And the court opined that a president has only presumptive immunity outside of his core powers and unofficial acts have no immunity. So Mr. Trump didn't get everything he wanted, but he did get a good deal. But it's a deal to protect the chief executive, historically, for all time. Without question, these opinions will pin special counsel Jack Smith's ears way back mostly because Smith went way beyond the constitution in the first place. And at a minimum, all these court cases, including Alvin Bragg's sham trial in New York, the J-6 in Washington, the classified documents in South Florida, and the crazy Rico lawsuit in Atlanta, Georgia, all of them are going to be pushed way back beyond the election, and some may be tossed out altogether. I'll leave the forecast to the lawyers. But the key point is that Biden and the Democrats running against the Supremes has nothing to do with the key issues driving voters. This election is going to be about kitchen table issues, affordability crisis, high prices, huge borrowing costs, and falling real wages. And to that, Biden's open border catastrophe with its horrific crimes, murders, rapes, and general criminality, and the breakdown of public safety throughout the country. And to that, the public's rejection of woke progressive policies, which have threatened traditional family values. And an attack on the Supremes has nothing to do with a world on fire during the Biden presidency. Americans yearn for peace and prosperity. They want a strong, capable, energetic president at the helm. They want toughness. Biden's lawfare campaign against Mr. Trump has been a losing issue from the get-go. If anything, it helped the former president. In a sense, the Supreme Court decisions in recent days simply confirmed in voters' minds just how phony and politically motivated that Trump lawsuits always were. Biden's legal weaponization attack on Trump has been dead in the water for quite some time. Just take a close look at all the polls. Yes, Biden badly lost last week's debate because of his clear cognitive impairment and overall breakdown, which itself is something voters have observed for many months, even as the liberal media tried to cover it up. But, and it's an important but, while Biden lost the debate, Mr. Trump won the debate on the issues. Trump was on message concerning voter worries about inflation, economy, the border. When Biden talked about January 6 in the debate, here's Donald Trump's brilliant answer. Take a listen to this. On January 6, we had a great border. Nobody coming through very few. On January 6, we were energy independent. On January 6, we had the lowest taxes ever. We had the lowest regulations ever. On January 6, we respected all over the world. Those were the issues. And recall, when Biden started up again about so-called Trump retribution, here was another brilliant answer from the former president. My retribution is going to be success. What we did was incredible. We rebuilt the military. We got the largest tax cut in history, the largest regulation cut in history. The reason he's got jobs is because I cut the regulations that gave jobs, but he's putting a lot of those regulations back on. All of the things that we've done. The Supreme Court will not be on the ballot. Donald Trump will be on the ballot. Even on the issue of democracy, Trump has a significant lead in the polls. Mr. Biden will do anything to avoid and distract from the key issues on which he has such a poor track record. Mr. Trump is saying that his policies, his strength, his energy will bring great success to the country. And success will be a great unifier, and that's something voters yearn for. Biden can attack the Supremes as much as he wants. But Mr. Trump is putting together a massive working-class coalition that can bring him to victory. And that's my riff. All right. Joining me now, Leo Terrell, civil rights attorney and Fox News contributor, and Andrew Tracaski, a former federal prosecutor. Welcome, gentlemen. Mr. Terrell looks like they're all running from the hills right now. They're all running away, all of a sudden, everything's been pushed back. And lo and behold, Alvin Bragg in New York. Wow. What do you make of this? Well, let's cook in here. Well, first of all, Larry, that was a perfect opening statement. Packaged you up and give it to Trump. Let me tell you right now. Thank you. President Trump has had a perfect week, a perfect week, not only from the debate, but the Supreme Court ruling. And what you see now is a Ripley effect. Five minutes after that ruling, I said Trump should file a motion to set aside the New York fake hutch money case. And it's happening because that case was built on evidence that is inadmissible per the Supreme Court ruling. And I want you to understand one of the things with Judge McCain's ruling, September 18, where he's going to have that ruling, if necessary, if necessary. You know why? Because it may not be necessary. That case should be thrown out because that case was built on false inadmissible evidence. So when you have that and you have the situation with the the January 6 case, all these political cases that were motivated by politics and not justice are on life support. They are dead on arrival. It's been a great week. None of these cases will have any effect prior to the election in November when Trump becomes President Larry. You know, that's, by the way, Andrew, at another point, let's not forget the so-called Enron decision that was what Friday by the Supreme Court. They took that out. They said it was crazy. This was meant to be for financial issues, Sarbanes, Oxley, and the Enron scandal, not for people in the law and the Capitol. Let me ask you, what's Mr. Trump done wrong? You look at all these cases, you look at what the Supreme Court said, which is what many lawyers have said. It wasn't that radical. I mean, it was based in my reading. I'm not a lawyer, but it was Nixon. I was reading the actual decision. Nixon versus Fitzgerald back in 1982 is, you know, Trump didn't get everything he wanted in this case. It's almost a moderate compromise, if you will. Given that, what has Trump done wrong? And what happens to these cases? There was nothing extreme or over the top with the Supreme Court decision this week. In fact, it holds that that's what we've seen in our country throughout the history of our country. There's never before been genuine conversations of prosecuting former presidents, even though there's great number of acts that may have committed, been committed over the years that one party or the other could have seen as criminal. In fact, in 1980s, we have the Nixon decision, which says that civil penalties can't be imposed on a president and typically criminal sanctions would be higher than that. So there's nothing extreme there. I see the left essentially trying to create some histrionics, some hyperbole to motivate their base, but the Supreme Court is doing its job in looking at what the law is. Now, it's taking a long time for Trump to have his fair day in court, to have due process work his way. I often see that as a criminal defense attorney, it takes a long time to win and unravel prosecutions that are unjust in the first place, but that's what we see happening. And I think that we're going to see that all the way up to the election. And I think there's genuine question as to whether that sentencing will ever happen before the election. Yeah. I mean, Leo, come up back to that. I mean, I don't think any of these cases will come to trial before the election. And as you're suggesting, I think you're both suggesting some of this stuff will be tossed out altogether. So this is the total failure of Biden's weaponization, if you will. That's, this is total failure from the getco. I saw Washington Post poll in the swing states. Trump comes out ahead on democracy. But really, you think this stuff will get tossed out altogether, Leo? I believe so. The first threshold is this. Every one of this country knows, Larry, that these cases were motivated because they did not, well, the Democrats did not want President Trump to run for re-election, though that's the entire motivation. These cases could have been brought earlier, but they timed them and it was wrong. They have lost the motivation per the Supreme Court ruling. That New York case to me is dead, because again, how do you segregate the inadmissible evidence? Jack Smith will not have the opportunity to generate a case prior to the November election. Trump will have the right to appeal any adverse ruling at the district court level. And the January 6th, the classified document case, Larry, Judge Canada is doing her due diligence to make sure everything is in taking place and being fair to both sides. Not one of these cases, say this tape. Not one of these cases will see a courtroom trial day prior to the November election. All right, we're going to save the tape. Please save all the tapes, Leo. I mean, that's kind of what happens. We're all in trouble on this if you ever pull it back. Andrew, in this decision, again, I was reading it last night, heavy going for an economics guy, not a lawyer, but the opinion, wait, it was Justice Thomas who raised the issue that Jack Smith shouldn't be special prosecutor in the first place. A reference to the Ed Meece, Michael Mukasey, amicus, I guess, to the decisions in the South Florida. And Eileen Cannon, Judge Eileen Cannon is going to look at that. Is there a chance that Jack Smith will be thrown out? The cases may be tossed out, but what about his standing? Well, I think that we have a lot of steps to get there before he's directly challenged. A lot of the evidence and a lot of the charges are going to be challenged first, but Jack Smith and that appointment is something that should be deeply unsettling to the American people. Well, he was never confirmed by the Senate. Is that important? He's not elected. He's not confirmed. There's no consequence. He's barely on the payroll as it goes for kind of the idea of officers of the United States. There's a special trust and a special process that that goes through. So I think the idea that we have one person being appointed to this position by the political enemy of a former president and not go through a democratic process is in its own right in attack on democracy. That's the sort of thing that the left is just screaming about when it comes to Donald Trump, but that doesn't seem to be all that consistent. It is inherently contradictory because we have and it's not just Jack Smith. We see it with other special counsel appointments as well. The DOJ is run by the president of the United States and that's what the Supreme Court said. It's time to look at that stuff because it runs rampant. I mean, you just can't keep using this as a weapon. I mean, it may be illegal. Certainly it violates due process. I say certainly it seems like it violates due process. I mean, if Judge Cannon does rule on this, it would be a good thing once and for all because you can't keep having special counsels, extra counsels, special counsels, it's crazy. Well, they will go absolutely crazy if she actually goes that direction. It will go through an appellate process and it'll work its way up. I think that when we are really looking at the Jack Smith issue, we have to look at the Joe Biden issue. He's in charge of the DOJ. He continually denies his involvement in the various prosecutions related to Donald Trump, but he's in charge and he sends those messages from the podium like he did yesterday to keep on pushing against Donald Trump. Well, yeah, I watched it four and a half minutes off the teleprompter and then he shuffled his way out. It wasn't much to me. Anyway, thanks, gentlemen. Leo Terrell. Thank you. Andrew Trikaski. Thanks very much. Coming up here on Cudlow, Joe Biden and the media just can't help themselves from lying about the economy and by the way, recent data coming out is a recession now in the making. We'll talk all that with Steve Moore and Mike Fockinger when Cudlow returns. I don't know. Toss them out, toss them out. We'll be right back. People sometimes see what I do. And they're like, that guy has no fear, but I have a lot of fear and anxiety actually. And that's a good thing. It keeps me alive. You know, tell us some of the highlights of your ice climbing career and where you've climbed before and maybe a few of the places that stuck out the most. Yeah, I started ice climbing when I was 16 and my dad needed a partner, a Blair, somebody to hold the rope. The next thing I know, I'm stuck on the side of a frozen waterfall with my dad. I'm about to turn 56. So 40 years of ice climbing now, I've climbed everywhere from the Canadian Rockies to the Colorado Rockies to South America, Asia, Niagara Falls, probably the most famous thing I've climbed in the United States. The only continent I haven't climbed on yet is Antarctica, and I'm trying to go there hopefully next year. As an ice climber, what I do is so weather dependent. You know, if it's not cold enough or it's too cold or it's a warm winter or a cold winter, all of these things add up. I mean, name an element in the weather system and I have to do, I have to contend with it in some way. It's like, this is my world. Every day I go out the door and I'm like, all right, what's the wind doing? What's the temperature doing? I look at humidity, I look at recent snowfall. You know, I'm sort of a one-person weather stationer the way I try to figure it out and do what I'm forecasting for the day. A big hazard in my world is blowing snow that stacks up on top of ice climbs and then avalanches. So how much snow has fallen recently? How much wind is there to blow that snow and make these kind of drifts that avalanche down my ice climb? When you get more blowing snow at some temperatures than others, you get more probably that at different humidity. So how well we understand the weather has like, it's life and death to me. It's not, yeah, it's kind of cold and windy today will break a jacket. It's like, this can kill me. I've got to really be engaged with it. You've taken an active role in combating climate change, for sure. And ice climbing is probably one of the best ways to do that, right? Everybody, when they talk about climate change, they immediately kind of default to how the ice is melting in the polar caps, right? And you're climbing that ice and you're always seeing ice. And so what do you want to tell people in terms of what you're seeing out in the trenches? As somebody's been in the mountains my whole life, the glaciers have come and gone a lot over long time spans. But I get out there and I remember hiking to these glaciers as a little kid and it's like you get out of the car and the glaciers right there. And now I get out of the car and it's like a half mile back up and it's much thinner and much smaller. So this has happened before but never this fast. So imagine if you went to work in New York City on the 28th floor of your building and you showed up and it wasn't there. I see and work with ice globally and changes happen. Absolutely. But the speed is so fast and that really worries me. It is so different than it was when we were here in 2014. You've done so much. I mean you said you've climbed on every continent except for Antarctica. You've gone up Niagara Falls and most have gone down. There's always new things to do. The world's a really cool place. So the things that are firing me up with ice now are helping scientists reach remote areas and just try to get back a bit. You know the world can live without ice climbers but our understanding of the world is really important. And just add a little bit of knowledge to our world.

That's where the recipe for inflation comes from. The people you can trust. That's absent. Fox Business. America's business network. The liberal media keeps pushing sex lies and videotape. But I just want to know is there a recession in the making. Join us now. Steve Moore, Committee on Leish Prosperity, Hotline, and hosted more money on W.A.B.C. Radio and Mike Faulkinder, Chief Economist at A.F.P.I. former Assistant Treasury Secretary, Gentlemen. Welcome. Buckinder, I'm going to start with you. I want to get to all the lies in a second. But you know, you've got a string of really bad economic numbers. The Atlanta Fed is now down to 1.7% in the second quarter, which ended, which just ended June 30th. We only had 1.4% in the first quarter. ISM manufacturing is coming down big time. Housing is crashing left and right. The labor market is weakening. Retail sales consumers look like they're slumping. What do you think about that, Faulkinder? Are we heading for a recession or not? Well, you know, Larry, I've always, I've been thinking that the private sector has been in a recession for a while. And it's really the government spending that's been keeping the economy going. Because if you look at what's been going on in manufacturing, in business services, a lot of these industries have not really been seeing job growth. Instead, it's been for a number of months now really centered in health care, in government spending, and in social assistance, things that are very much funded by government. And as we've discussed before, the Biden administration is so intent on filling the economy with government money just to keep the economy going that I don't see it immediately on the horizon. But this cannot sustain itself. And at some point, the government's going to have to pull back. And that's when I think a recession is likely. So that was a no. We're not, we're not immediately, no one, there's a recession. There's too much government spending. It was kind of a yes or no question, but I just thought I can see more. You want to take a whack at that? No, I don't think we're going to get a recession anytime soon. But I think you made the point where we've got this, this kind of secular stagnation where the economy, how many months in a row has it been that we've had this growth rate of one, one and a half percent when we got to be growing at two to three times that rate. Larry, you and I, Michael, believe that we could grow this economy three and a half, maybe four percent with the right policies. And Biden has so, he's just putting bricks on the back of the economy. They're waiting it down. But I'm not going to, I'm not going to predict a recession. We have a pretty robust, we have a robust industry in America. And I think that the technology industry and the AI industry is carrying the market right now, Larry. I don't know if you've noticed that, but if you take out the AI industry, we wouldn't have much of a stock market today. Well, I've noticed in the video, I guess, if you go to the video, maybe you don't keep the stock, stock market and the whole economy. All right, Steve Moore, you're going to love this. You'll like it too, Faulkner. Let's play some tape. Joe Biden's sex, lies and videotape. Here it comes. Let's take a look at what I was left when I became president and what Mr. Trump left me. We had an economy that was in freefall. The economy collapsed. There were no jobs. Unemployment rate rose to 15%. It was terrible. All right, Steve, more economy was in freefall, real freefall. It's funny. I don't remember, I sort of remember V-shaped recovery, but Mr. Biden says freefall. What do you say, Steve Moore? You know, one of the things that was interesting about that debate is people talk about how incoherent Biden was, and he was incoherent half the time, but I was more disturbed by what he said when he was coherent, not when he was incoherent. I mean, he put out these lies. And one thing that surprises me, maybe I shouldn't have been surprised, is the media kept saying Biden was incoherent, Trump lied. No, Biden was incoherent and he lied. I mean, most of the statistics that he put out are obviously wrong. We didn't have 15% unemployment under Trump. We had one of the lowest unemployment rates for all races. Another one that sticks in my craw is when Biden and the media said, "Trump caused the inflation." What are they talking about? The last four months that Trump was in office, the inflation rate. Ready for this, Larry? 1.4%, 1.4%, 1.3 and 1.4%. And then Biden takes it 18 months later to 9.1% and that's Trump's fault. So you've got kind of economic ignoramuses in the White House and in the media that are misreporting what really happened. Well, you make a good point. You know, the only thing worse than his incoherence was his coherence. I mean, I agree with that. My fucking dear also, Mr. Biden says that Trump really was the biggest borrower and I've noticed some of the media picked that up. The Wall Street Journal wrote about that. Not the editorial page, but the news reports was Trump the biggest borrower? Did he create more debt than Biden? No, not at all, Larry. I mean, we had a lot of debt that was issued during the pandemic, but prior to that, we were not issuing the deficits that we were running were not all of that extraordinary. If you look at the largest, the four largest deficits that we have had, you know, three of them have occurred under the Biden administration and then the other one was during COVID. And so, and then if you look at all of the spending that they have enacted, whether it be the IRA or it be just the increase in discretionary spending that's taken place, if you look at the CBO forecast of where debt is going compared to what Biden came into office with, it has just exploded. And so, they are only looking at the numbers that have been issued so far. They're not looking at the projections that are arising from all of the actions that Biden is taking. And so, the debt record is much stronger for President Trump in terms of the amount that was being borrowed. It's Biden that really has put us on a path to devastation. I think that Janet Yellen, Treasurer, Janet Yellen, is the biggest bond salesman in the history of the Republic. I really do. She's so more fun. More fun. Since Alexander Hamilton was Treasury Secretary. Anyway, gentlemen, thank you. Steve Moore, Mike Volkinger. We appreciate it very much. Folks, coming up as Joe Biden become a national security risk. We're going to ask North Dakota Governor Doug Bergam next up. And remember, folks, Cudlow, available as a podcast episode every weekday, right after the show on Spotify, Apple, and Fox Business podcast.com. I'll be right back. Morning's with Marie on Fox Business. Every morning, I want to empower my viewers to move their families forward and seize the day. All the news that drives the market from beyond. Morning's with Marie on Fox Business, invested in you. I have been the Rockies. The snowy scenes of winter make for a beautiful sight. But at the Bridgestone Winter Driving School, it's also the chance for some action with limited traction. We're one of very, very few purpose-built winter driving schools in the whole world. Using a combination of classroom training and time behind the wheel, instructors train students on how to safely navigate the roads when temperatures plunge. I'm putting you on a surface that most people automatically don't want to be driving on. And then I'm taking away a whole bunch of the safety net that we normally have in our regular cars. Okay, ABS is now off. This introductory course started out with disabling the anti-lock brake system. To pump the brakes the old-fashioned way in order to stop on this icy track. It really is much more challenging without the ABS. Next we experimented with understeer and oversteer. Oh yeah, I'm feeling it slide. Going around in circles and getting a little sideways. Winter driving is all about physics. Talk to me a little bit about that. Basically by just harnessing the simple understanding of how physics is why cars do what they do when they're doing them and turning that into this car is going to do what I want it to do now. And getting yourself to a place of confidence on a surface that offers you no grip. The winter driving does take more than being able to manage a vehicle's mass as it moves along a slippery surface. Drivers also need to have the right tires. Be sure they have enough wiper fluid in their cars free of snow and be fully alert when behind the wheel. If you can give one big tip for how folks can be a better winter driver, what would that tip be? Kind of like walking into a bar. No when to say when. It's like if the situation is more challenging than you think you're capable of dealing with, it is. So should this LA driver stay home during the next snow storm? How'd I do during that course? Maybe for now we'll just let that answer slide. [Music] Bringing in the new oil well is essential to camera and energy's survival. But so too is ensuring that the 2000 other wells on the property keep the oil flowing for the American public. And making sure that happens is up to well tenders like Brad Baughton. So we've got a busy day today. I'm going to try and get as many wells pumped as we can and I'm pretty eager to get home because it is my son's birthday. So we're going to get popping. Across the US, wells like these extract more than 4,000 gallons of oil per second or about enough to fuel your average car for 10 years. But unlike larger operations, which can pump oil around the clock, the wells at camera and energy need to be routinely shut off to allow oil reservoirs to refill underground. Years of experience and a pretty strict schedule tell Brad when they're ready to be fired up again. I open up the production valve where the oil is going to come up the tubing. Pump jacks like this are the workhorses of the oil industry and their mechanics are ingeniously simple. A gas or electric motor powers the above ground assembly, which connects to a rod running 2,000 feet down to the oil reservoir. There, a pair of one-way valves work in tandem to pump oil up to the surface. And here in Pennsylvania, that oil is one of a kind. So if you notice the yellow is chanting this oil, you won't see it anywhere else in the world. This Pennsylvania crude oil is yellow because it's a paraffin-based oil, lightest, sweetest oil in the world. So I've got a bunch more to get to right now and we're going to get moving. The bottom line with Dagen and Duffy on Fox Business. We view the world the same way. I'm sure we'll have some disagreements, but you don't want to get her mad. No, you don't. The bottom line with Dagen and Duffy on Fox Business invested in you. All right, sort of breaking news. The White House held its first briefing since the debate. So, our own intrepid Edward Lawrence. He's got all the details from the White House. Afternoon, Edward. How are you? What's going on? Yeah, Larry. Yeah, Larry. Yeah. It was the first one in the briefing, first one on camera, since the debate, the White House press secretary, Jean Greene, Jean Pierre held a peppered with questions about the president's competency and here was her answer. Listen. We're not taking away from what you all saw or what the American people saw. We understand. It was a bad night. It is not uncommon for incumbents to have a bad night on their first debate. And we are going to continue to do the work that we have been doing on behalf of the American people. So, when asked, she says the president does not have Alzheimer's or dementia. In the one official public event, President Biden held today, he spoke after a briefing on Hurricane Burl as well as the extreme heat the nation faced. He again used a teleprompter for these remarks. And now we have the first Democrat publicly calling for President Biden to step aside in the election. So far, the message from the White House, this president just had a bad night, was overprepared and that got in his way. Now, to the president's speech last night, using a teleprompter, he accused the Supreme Court of being political and tried to scare Americans about what the ruling means. Republicans say that was shameful. This guy has the unmitigated gall to talk about the powers of the presidency. He has abused those powers every step of the way. So I don't care what he has to say. The truth is, when Donald Trump was president, he lived within the confines of presidential power. He obeyed Supreme Court rules. So, President Joe Biden will do his first since the debate one-on-one interview with ABC News. That's going to be on Friday, the White House Press Secretary, also confirming that Hunter Biden sat in on at least one meeting with the president and his top aides. That's in preparation for that speech you saw last night. That's a confirmation that she says we'll see more family members around the White House, because this is a holiday week. Back to you, Larry. All right, Edward Lawrence. Thanks very much. So join me now, North Dakota Governor Doug Bergum. Welcome back, Governor Bergum. We appreciate it. You know, this issue, Mr. Biden's performance of the debate was so bad. And frankly, last night, I mean, he read the teleprompter for four and a half minutes and then shuffled away. And as you probably know, U.S. military bases in Europe have been put on high alert for a possible terrorist threat. My question to you is, is now Mr. Biden a national security risk, because he looks so weak and, if you will, almost ill. Is he a security risk, sir? Absolutely, Larry. He is a security risk Biden is for America, and he's on multiple levels. One is, as was just said, America is not just America that can't unsee what we all saw last Thursday night, but Putin was watching. She was watching. The Ayatollahs were watching any of our adversaries around the world saw that performance, and they look at someone who's not able to get through a debate, much less served out the rest of his term, potentially. Certainly, there's nothing that would indicate he can serve for four more years beyond that. But if they're thinking this guy has only got five, six months left in office, if you're planning on from their side, you'd say, let's go now, because they know who's coming next. As President Trump, who's the, you know, is strength where Joe Biden is weakness. But, so that's one, is it just him himself as a security threat? But his policies, as you and I have talked about, his energy policies that are funding Russia and Iran, we're funding the two proxy wars that we're in against those countries, they're funding their side of it with Joe Biden's energy policy. And of course, China benefits from that. And then lastly, the thing that was the most heartbreaking of all for me watching that debate is when Joe Biden looked in the camera and lied and said nobody had died on his watch. And I thought as a commander-in-chief of our National Guard, who's lost people in the war on terror, he's trying to erase the memories of these young men and women who died, like in the Afghanistan withdrawal. And he's out there talking during a debate to gold star mothers and saying that basically your child didn't exist because nobody died on my watch. I mean, how demoralizing, if you're watching that debate around the world in uniform for the United States of America, and that was our commander-in-chief, we've got to risk the national security. Who's going to enlist in the armed forces if this is the guy who's the commander-in-chief? So he's a security threat on multiple levels. Yeah. Cody, you're on the shortlist for Vice President. You're on the A-list. You're on the shortlist. Name's your name is always in every single article. I know the President Trump thinks the world of you. Just tell us in your mind, what would you bring if you were put on the ticket as Vice President? What would you bring to that ticket? Well, Larry, I appreciate that the question. But I think, again, there's one person to get to decide that's President Trump. He's going to make a great decision. He's going to figure out, at the time of his choosing, among a bunch of great candidates, who's going to bring what he needs for the country. And he'll choose the right governing partner. He'll choose the right person that can help him win an election. And then the thing that we've been focused on, I've been focused on, why I think every American should focus on, is getting President Trump elected. And thank goodness there'd been some big wins with the Supreme Court on Friday and yesterday going forward. Because the Biden law fair is falling apart. The Democrat party is in complete free fall. It wasn't just a bad debate. I mean, they're trying to compare Biden's Thursday night performance to Obama years ago. It's just a bad debate. Everything they do, it continues to be support the big lie that somehow Joe Biden's capable of doing this job physically and mentally today. And I think Americans are starting to see through that. And I don't know how they're going to get a single donation into the Democrat party right now. I mean, who would write a check to the Biden Harris right now if they don't know what's going forward? But I think they've created a bunch of rules to block people like JFK from even being part of the mix. They could have had a fully competitive primary and beat Joe Biden in a primary. But now they're stuck with it. They created this walled garden to protect him. And now that looks like they're going to have to live with it. And I think again, back to your question, our adversaries can probably look at that and go, President Trump's going to be the next president. He was so strong when he was in office. If we're going to do something bad, we better do it now. Will Joe Biden's office and can't respond? Well, Mr. Trump is a great respect for successful CEOs. You're a former CEO of a successful company. You've been CEO of the state of North Dakota. Does that put you head and shoulders above others who have been mentioned? Well, again, I can't comment on the comparison, but it is accurate that I've had a lot of opportunity and leadership as an executive both in public private sector and the public sector. And I think, again, you'll never see me as a senator or congressman because I'm an operating guy. I like to get stuff done. And I know that President Trump, when he gets in office, he's going to get a lot of stuff done. I think he's going to have a lot of talent in that next administration up and down. And he's going to get so much done right out of the blocks. I mean, people are going to be surprised on how fast he can turn this country around. All right. Thank you, Governor Fergam. We appreciate it very, very much. Good luck on the campaign trail. All right. Switching gears, we're going to talk some politics with Alex Marlow, editor-in-chief of Breitbart News and Chris Bedford, senior fellow at the Common Sense Society. Boy, we need some common sense. So that's a great thing. Alex Marlow, you probably heard Governor Bergam. He was very humbly. He didn't want to really tout himself. There's another name that's surfacing as a dark horse for V. Want to get your take on it. And that's Governor Glenn Yunken of Virginia, prolific fundraiser, very good state CEO. Virginia is very much in play. What do you think about Yunken for Vice President Alex? Yeah, Yunken's got a compelling narrative. He definitely could put Virginia in play. And I think he's someone that the more moderate wing, the establishment wing, and the Republican Party could get excited about, and that could make it so that they might be more inclined to vote for President Trump reluctantly if they're on the fence. But, you know, I do think that from what I've heard, he's not towards the top of the list. The two names I'm hearing so much are Bergam and J.D. Vance. And I think Vance offers a pretty historic opportunity. And I've told the president this to have someone who is part of the America First Movement on the ticket. So, I don't know if Yunken has enough time to move up, but he certainly has his fans. All right. Chris Bedford, Joe Biden's going to run against the Supreme Court. Good, good idea, bad idea. I know how that doesn't seem like this is a very good idea right now. I mean, the Democratic Party's pitched to the American voter in 2020 was that they were the party of normalcy and of values and of standards, and they were going to bring us back to an age of civility. So, if you're an American voter who just tuned in maybe for the first time on Thursday, and you saw the President of the United States drooling on stage and not really being able to control his facial expressions, and then you turn around and you see Joe Biden, you see Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez talking about impeaching the Supreme Court justices, that's a really a hard pitch to make when someone's looking up from their work desk, that you are now the person who represents normalcy, that you're the return to civility. It seems to put holes, it's good with the Democratic base and some of the activists, but it pokes holes with a lot of the independence and those people who somehow still remain unconvinced. I don't see what that has to do with kitchen table issues, falling real wages, high prices, gasoline, you know, fires are raging over across the world. I mean, the Supreme Court really going to run against that. I mean, it just doesn't make much sense to me, and you know, Alex, come back to you. There's, I think, I don't know if you saw this, Maine Congressman Jared Golden, okay, he's a moderate Democrat from Maine, has written an op-ed piece for the Bangor Maine newspaper, Bangor Maine newspaper. The title is Donald Trump is going to win the election and democracy will be just fine, Alex, so he's jumping ship on this. What do you make of that? Yeah, I think this is actually kind of wise words. If you look at that debate performance and then you see the past for the Democrats to replace Joe Biden, which are almost all impossible for various reasons, we could spend an hour going through all of them, Larry. But this looks like it's going to be an L for Democrats, and the smart move might just be be classy, take the L and regroup because they're in such, such headwinds for the rest of the year, and this is the first kind of sensical take that I've seen written out, making that case. Yeah, and Chris, you know, there's another one, Lloyd Doggett, who's a moderate Democrat, I guess, from the state of Texas. He's out there saying that Biden should not run. I believe he's the first congressman to say that Biden should not run. What do you make of that, Chris? That's the beginning of the break and the dam. You know, for the first few days after the debate, there was a lot of just fantasy coming out of the Democrats and their supporters in the media. The idea that they could just swap Joe Biden out for Gavin Newsom or Gretchen Whitmer or anyone else, that's kind of fantasy talk. If you're going to get rid of Joe Biden, you pretty much are going to be stuck with Kamala Harris. And I think Democrats are starting to come in line with that. You saw Congressman James Clyburn, who was integral to Joe Biden winning the nomination in the first place coming out and saying, you cannot skip over Kamala. You've got all the money that's locked up in the campaign that would need to go to Kamala. So if Democrats actually want to have any kind of a shot that needs to recognize that they're either running with Joe Biden or he's stepping aside voluntarily, and then they're stuck with someone who's unpopularity rivals Mitch McConnell. But you know, Alex, just 30 seconds, if you vote for Joe Biden and Joe Biden were to win the race, you might still get Kamala Harris. And I see that as a big handicap for the Democrats. It's huge. Kamala pulls terribly and her record is she couldn't get a delegate in the primary despite being a prolific fundraiser. She's beloved by Silicon Valley, the establishment class, the donor class. The Democrats are really in a pickle here because Chris is absolutely right. Kamala is the only easy person who can step in. And she's not that liked by the American public. Yeah, you got it. Thank you, gentlemen. Alex Marlowe and Chris Bedford. We appreciate it. All right, folks, we're going to talk to the great Jonathan Turley about free speech in an age of rage. About that. Stick with Kudlow. Be right back. The American dream is there for the taking. We'll show you all the opportunities out there. And help you see the big picture. The big money show on Fox Business. [Music] Supporters of the Constitution called themselves federalists. Their campaign for ratification was led by New York's Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton writes about that without a strong federal government, it's just going to turn into warfare between the states in which the big states just take over the small states, if not physically, then at least through power and economy. But there was forceful opposition to the proposed scheme. The anti-federalists, led by Patrick Henry of Virginia, warned the Constitution would impose upon the nation a monarchy in disguise. They felt like the British system was a good one, but as our picture went, they sort of blamed the monarchical overreach on a lot of our problems. And so the fear is, we'll end up with something like that. And that's certainly one of the arguments the anti-federalists will make, is that we're going to have some kind of tyranny or aristocracy created by this new government. That's their fear that'll take away the people's rights. One of the greatest controversies was, what powers is this new federal government going to take away from the people? We just saw what happened with the British Parliament, with the Crown. It became a tyranny. It took away our rights and our liberties. That's why we declared independence. And so we need a bill of rights to protect our individual liberty. The federalist signaled they were open to such amendments once the Constitution was adopted. Many states, when they agreed to ratify, they asked that the first Congress would look at some amendments to the Constitution. And so, in some ways it was a political maneuver to satisfy the doubters. By December, you're going to start seeing states approve in that Constitution. By the middle of the year of 1788, New Hampshire becomes the ninth. And officially, the Constitution is now ratified and can go into effect. With sweeping canyon views sitting atop a ridge in the foothills east of Chico, California, it's easy to see why they called this town paradise. But on November 8th, 2018, paradise became an inferno. I remember looking in my rearview mirror back up at the town of paradise and it looked like a bomb had gone off. The campfire destroyed 95% of the buildings in paradise and killed 85 people. At the time, it was the deadliest wildfire in modern US history. Chard trees and empty lots still dot the town of paradise, proof of how the campfire forever changed this place. Everywhere you look, signs of rebuilding. So everybody thought it was really important to take this old wooden sign, rebuild it, show everybody that the city's still there, that the town's still alive. The fastest-growing city in California, two years in a row, about 3,000 single-family homes have been rebuilt in paradise since the fire, along with 500 multi-family units. New homes in paradise are now required to include a five-foot non-combustible zone all around them and are inspected yearly to ensure that firefighters would be able to defend the property. In addition, a siren warning system is being installed in paradise and evacuation routes are being widened. But some feel left behind in the recovery, and there are those still living in trailers in paradise five years after the fire. It used to be great. Paradise just went to hell on the end meg to the fire. Though people are returning and the town seen an influx of younger families. When they come to paradise, as my parents did decades ago, they see that this is a good place to raise a family. It's not the same town as it was before the fire, but it's also not completely different. I think it's that community that is rebuilding paradise and has never let that sparkle die. A town rising from the ashes. There is a sense of hope. Paradise is not lost. Max Gordon, Fox Weather. All right, let's talk about free speech for a moment. Joining us now, the great Jonathan Turley, constitutional law attorney, Fox News contributor, and author of the new book, the indispensable right, free speech in the age of rage. First of all, Jonathan, welcome. I love to sell books, but this is a very timely discussion, free speech in the age of rage. I've just read the blurb. I don't have the book. I'm a poor starving anchor. I'll probably have to go out and fundraise for it. But I mean, tell us a little bit about this book and tell us a little bit about free speech in the age of rage. You know, Larry, thank you very much for having me on to talk about the indispensable right. It's a book that 30 years in the making because I didn't want to complete this book until I could explore why we call this indispensable. We all agree with Lewis Brandeis when he said this was the indispensable right, but not why it's indispensable and why we continue to struggle so mightily with free speech. And you know, this book talks about the personalities and periods that help shape free speech, but also looks at what I think is the most dangerous anti-free speech period in our history. And that is because we've never faced an alliance of the government, academia, media, corporations. And we're seeing a regression of free speech across the country. And frankly, I think you can arguably say that Joe Biden is the most anti-free speech president since John Adams. If you look at this history as the book does, we're looking now at an existential fight over free speech. There are law professors that are pushing for the rewriting, the amendment of the First Amendment. One of my colleagues is saying that it's excessively individualistic and has to be balanced against notions like equity. And you have books out that are saying that we have to get beyond free speech, that free speech is dangerous. But in academia, we've watched this bill for years. This is where the movement came from. And they approached faculties of libertarians and dissenting voices and Republicans. This book talks about how some professors have committed suicide after being targeted by the left. And we have to come to grips with this. And that's what the book explores. I mean, if you dissent on climate change, or you dissented on COVID, or you dissented on Donald Trump, everybody comes down on you from the government on down. And I was disappointed with the Supreme said that the government could jawbone social media, for example, on speech and so-called disinformation. I mean, that's part of it today. And that can't be good. No, it's not good. And what this book strives for is clarity. It suggests ways that we can have a reawakening because free speech is part of our DNA. Polls show that the public doesn't want censorship. But the important thing is this book argues that free speech is a natural right. It's something that completes us as human beings. It doesn't come from the government. And we have to reembrace that. That was the view of the founding and we lost it early on. But we also have to come to grips with this massive anti-free speech movement that has taken hold of our government, our higher education institutions, and the media. I mean, just looking at the Trump stuff and the law fair and the weaponization and so forth, I mean, they try to gag Donald Trump. I mean, isn't that part of the free speech revolt? I mean, they're just trying to gag the guy. Right. And actually, the book talks a great deal about those efforts and why they're so dangerous. In fact, you know, one of the things the book strongly indicates, and I've said this in a recent column based on the book, is that, you know, the book goes, the indispensable right goes into the historical periods, including the Adams period. Adams was defeated by Thomas Jefferson in the 1800 election who ran on free speech. Jefferson ran on the crackdown by Adams of free speech and won. If Donald Trump was smart, as with his other the others running against Joe Biden, they would make free speech a central issue in this campaign. It transcends the political divisions we have today. All right. Jonathan's really terrific. Free speech in an age of rage, folks. Go and get the book. I'm going to fundraise so I can read it too. Thank you, Jonathan. Be right back with my last word. Paramount Global on the hunt for a partner to merge with Paramount Plus, which is hemorrhaging cash. There are reports Warner Brothers Discovery is floating the idea of merging Max with the streamer. Peacock is also reportedly in the mix. It could also open the floodgates for more streaming partnerships to stabilize the media industry. Most Americans still struggling with a pinch of inflation while living on a national average salary of less than $60,000 a year. That's less than three times what they feel they need to live comfortably. A new survey revealing the numbers now $186,000 a year. But some baby boomers are choosing to room together to combat high costs of living and loneliness becoming boom mates. One of the boom mates tells the New York Post he's quote happy as a clam with his new housemate. And Pepsi and Little Caesars pizza pizza are bringing back a fan favorite for a limited time. Pepsi pineapple was first introduced last summer. Little Caesars customers can buy a 20 ounce bottle paired with an order of Little Caesars crazy pops or $4.99 until July 14th. That's business. I'm C.J. Papa. In Oregon's Willamette Valley row after row of blooming blueberry bushes stretch underneath the cloud filled sky at AC Foods Halsfairy Farm. We grow the best blueberries in the world here from my humble opinion. It's a beautiful piece of land and right now it's doing more than just growing berries. We really see these farms as you know living organisms and that mindset is creating some buzz. It's very inspiring. Now bees are a crucial step in the process that turns these flowers into the berries that we all enjoy at home. A lot of farms use honeybees like these trucked in to pollinate their crops but this farm here is planting native vegetation like these rose bushes to encourage bumblebees to fly onto the scene. Pollinators are incredibly important not only to our food systems but to our terrestrial ecosystems. And while the honeybees AC Foods truck in are good pollinators they aren't native like the big black and yellow bumblebees and those bees are in trouble. Here in the U.S. we have about 3,600 species of native bees and somewhere around a quarter of those are facing extinction. The Xerces Society says climate change pesticide use and habitat loss have all led to the decline but for the past five years the Xerces Society has established the be better certification program with farms helping ones like this establish areas that encourage native bee populations to blossom. If we do the things that we know can help these populations rebound I really do have hope for the future. Since AC Foods planted the habitat bumblebee populations here appear to be rebounding. You know you can feel it in the field here you can feel that how that balance of sustainability makes you feel. And the bumblebees have been doing their part too pollinating the blueberries along with their honeybee cousins. It's both the right thing to do from a sustainability perspective as well as the profitable thing to do. Making an unlikely partnership you have to see to be leave an independence organ.
