I'm Richard Bush, Michelobaltra, Light Beer, St. Louis, Missouri. Hello, everyone, I'm Larry Kudlow. So, an optimistic vision of growth, opportunity, and optimism is always a winner. And I think that's going to be the big picture message for President Trump at CNN's presidential debate tonight. Successful policies will unify the country. Success is always the best revenge. We'll have Senator Tommy Tuberville in just a few moments, but first up, our own Grady Trimble. He's got the latest from Hotland. Grady, once you got your out of the barbershop today, let's cook in now. Larry, we just saw President Biden at a surprise campaign stop shaking hands with supporters. We also watched former President Trump's plane take off on a video feed from the Palm Beach International Airport. He's expected to land here next hour. So we are just about five hours away from these two men standing on the debate stage together for the first time in four years. And we are eager to see what they say individually, but also to see their dynamic together. We don't know a lot about what's going to happen tonight. We don't even know if the two men are going to shake hands when they get on stage together. We also don't know which candidate benefits, if any, from the fact that there's no audience and that their mics will be cut when their time is up. We do have two key insights today, though, from a new poll, from a New York Times and Siena College. One is that Trump has a four-point lead on Biden nationally going into tonight, and the other is that voters have higher expectations for Trump than they do for Biden tonight. President Trump absolutely is the front-runner in this race. He has the money. He's gonna raise the Democrats in the months of April and May. He has the momentum. If you look at every poll, he's winning in all the battleground states. He's leading with independence, Hispanic Americans. He's winning a huge margin of the black vote right now. And it's because he has a winning message tonight, President Biden will have to try to win over, not just undecided voters, but also members of his own party. Fifty-six percent of Democrats say they'd prefer another candidate that's according to a Gallup poll also out this morning. So tonight, Larry, we'll be listening to what the candidates have to say, but also how they say it. Will the former president stick to policy discussion and kind of win over those people who might not be happy with his demeanor sometimes at rallies? And for Biden, can he prove those who say he's too old to be president for four more years wrong? We don't see him often without a teleprompter or without pre-written notes. This is 90 minutes of that. We'll have to see how he performs, Larry. We report you decide, Grady Trimble in Atlanta. Good luck tonight, Grady. All right, folks, an optimistic vision of growth and prosperity and opportunity is always a winner. And that's the subject of tonight's riff. Sounds like the entire liberal media are rooting for mud-slinging and mud-wrestling at tonight's CNN presidential debate. But voters completely disagree. They want issues. And no one seems to be listening to the former president Trump who keeps saying to people that successful policies will unify the country. So I'm going to buck the media tide and suggest, well, there's going to be some jabbing and some counterpunching in this 90-minute debate, Trump's overarching theme of success to build unity across the country will be on display at tonight's debate. That's just my view. Biden can do what he's going to do. But I think Mr. Trump will come out of this as the optimist and optimist always win. Trump has a strong record of low inflation, significant growth, rising real wages for all working Americans, closing the border, cutting taxes, overturning an over-regulated business sector, and, of course, drill, baby drill, and seeking peace through strength in foreign affairs. On every one of these issues, Mr. Biden has a very poor record. On every one of these issues, Mr. Trump's successful first term shows what can be done and gives him much to build on in a second term. I'd love to see Trump start early. I ask him Biden if he agrees on the tax-exempt tipping idea for waitresses and golf caddies and Uber drivers and the tens of millions of people in the gig economy. Smoke out, Mr. Biden, early. See if he comes out against working folks. See if Mr. Biden defends his plan for massive tax hikes, which will surely stifle growth, increase inflation, and ultimately lead to a recession. It'd be an interesting ploy by Mr. Trump sticking to the issues, of course, and he'd be staying out of the mud. Of course, Mr. Trump will hammer away at the affordability crisis, and hopefully, in particular, we'll talk about the housing affordability crisis for young voters who were priced out of the market and out of the American dream and appear to be deserting Joe Biden and the Democratic Party in droves. Tonight's a big night for the two candidates, and it's an even bigger night for the voters, but let me repeat an optimistic vision of growth, prosperity, and opportunity. It's always a winner, and I believe Mr. Donald Trump knows that. And that's the riff. All right. Having said all that, joining us now, we welcome back to the show Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville, Senator Tuberville, as always, sir. It's great to see you. What do you think? I'm just making a forecast, but I think that's where Trump wants to go. He wants to talk about success and unity. He doesn't want to do mudslinging. Nobody. Biden's going to do it. Biden's going to do. But I think Trump has a clear vision here. What do you think? Can he do it? Oh, I think he can do it. There's no doubt, because this is his forte. President Trump does good off the cuff. I'm not sure about President Biden. I don't know where he's at, mainly or physically, but let me tell you, Larry, I've been on recessed for about a week and a half. I've been all over the country, out in the field, talking to people. And I've never seen people more angry and more upset, but also looking more forward to a debate than this one. This will be interesting. And here's what they tell me. They want answers. They want answers from Joe Biden. Why? Why have you done all this to our country, the border of crime, inflation, no gas and oil, foreign wars? Why have you done this to the American people? We can't afford it. And so Joe Biden is really the guy on trial tonight. He's going to have to answer these tough questions. If he doesn't answer them, he's going to be really, really troubled when it comes to November. You think it's possible, Mr. Trump would put it to Biden early on, using this tax-free tipping idea, which is so unpopular. I just saw a poll, I think, I don't know, plus 65%, 70%, favored the idea of tax-free tips for the gig economy, for waitresses and whatever. But if he smokes out Biden right away, asks Biden if he agrees that it's time to stop taxing all these people who are working hard, but need to have better after-tax after-inflation income. What do you think about that? Would you do it if you were debating, try to smoke him out? You dang right, I'd do it. I'd bring him out real quick because what he has done, Larry, Joe Biden has done, he is almost ruined the middle class. In the middle class of the people that go to work every day, don't make a lot of money. But if they do get a little extra money, they would love to not have to pay taxes on it. And that's exactly what is happening here with the no-tax on tips. And these are young people. I have talked to more young people, their generation, X and Z, all these young people that you would say, well, they're all liberal and, you know, they're looking at vote and Democrat, they are dead wrong. These kids understand they want a better life than their parents. And they see right now the direction we're heading with all these hot taxes and everything that's going on with Joe Biden, they're not going to have the same life that their parents had. And they're exactly right if we stay down this same road. Well, I think that raises another important point. Housing affordability has crashed. And I think for the younger kids, the voters, young voters who are working, Senator Teverville, you know, I think they see the American dream is out of reach. It's very discouraging to them. They don't like it one bit. Home prices are record highs, home sales are crashing, mortgage rates are too high and so forth and so on. I mean, this is something Trump, I think, should make hay on. There's an overall affordability crisis, but especially with young. No, it's going to get worse too, Larry. I talked to a group of home builders just a few days ago, and they say in the very near future, you're going to see a medium-sized home be somewhere around 12 to 1,300 square feet. I'm not talking about 1,000. I'm talking about 1,200. That's smaller than a single-wide trailer. These kids are looking down the barrel of a gun of having to pay high taxes, more taxes to pay down the debt, all these regulations, and they're not going to be able to afford because of the high-rising inflation, anything over 12, 14, 1500 square feet in a new home. I felt sorry for them, but we can get back to it. Just give President Trump a chance to get this country back going again, because obviously President Biden and his staff have zero answers. So the other thing, of course, is Mr. Trump's got to get to the border fast. It's a gigantic issue. Some polls show it to be the number one issue. The polls say it's tied with inflation and the economy. This terrible, tragic murder in a young woman in Houston, Texas. We had it in Georgia. We've had it up in New York. Myarchus has a tin ear. He doesn't know how to talk about it. Biden never even talks about it. I mean, the border has become front and center, and I would reckon Mr. Trump's got to get to the border issue pretty fast also tonight. Well, you got to remember, Larry, this is a way game for President Trump. He's on foreign soil in terms of being a CNN. He has the referees not on his side. He has all the rules going against him, and he has to make sure that he gets exactly what you said up front and close, very clear and very quick in this debate, and that's the border. Everything else we can take care of. We can pay down the debt. We can get inflation down. We can slow the crime down. We can get out of these foreign wars. But if we continue to open that border, and President Trump knows this, he talks about it every time I talk to him. If they continue to stay open, all this other stuff is mute, because this drags everything else down. The people coming across it, we're having to pay billions of dollars every quarter just to take care of them. Yeah, it's bankrupting the country, of course. Innocent civilians are getting killed, which is awful, too. But you know what else? The open border issue, as it grows, has spread crime and public safety as an issue throughout the country. It might not have been there a few years ago, but now the issue of crime, law and order, and public safety has become a huge issue. Again, Mr. Biden seems to have a tin ear, and I'm expecting Mr. Trump to go right toward it. Oh, he should go straight for it, because when you lose your streets and your neighborhoods, the safety, and you can't let your kids go outside the play, you're afraid to go to the park. You can't go to the store. You even scared to stop at a gas station, because you might get mugged at a gas station. Enough is enough of this, and the American people, Larry, Democrats included, are sick of this direction that we're going. We have to stop this madness, but the madness of getting worse and worse, I'm worried about the next six months, even when President Trump does win, of what this group can do to continue to bring the downfall of our country. Our country is in bad trouble. We need help, and Donald Trump's the one's going to do it. It's going to be tough for him to win tonight, because everything's stacked against him, but he has the answers. I won't hear any answer that Joe Biden has any of these bad problems that we're having, that he has actually started himself. All right. Amen to all of that. Senator Tupper, though. Thank you, sir. I appreciate your time. Now folks, here's an important reminder. It's still the economy, stupid. So we're going to whip in David Malpass, my good friend, former president of the World Bank Group, former Undersecretary of the Treasury, wrote a terrific op-ed today. Inflation will be the defining topic of Thursday's debate. It's still, you know, it's funny years past, David, but it's still the economy stupid. So let me ask you something. If anyone's worried about inflation, wouldn't a growth solution, a prosperity solution, not root canal, but growth, prosperity, new opportunities, for all sectors, work in folks of all colors, races, and creeds, wouldn't you want a growth solution and shouldn't that come out tonight? Shouldn't that be very much part of Mr. Trump's argument? For sure. That should be the core of the debate. We've got a growth program against a shrink program. So I think the burden is on President Biden to say, what of the good ideas that are out there? Are you willing to do any of them? One would be to stop taxing tips. One would be to allow energy production. You know, he's put in place this prohibition on the export of natural gas. It's killing Europe. You could lift that tomorrow. He could do that. He could refill Spro and say he's going to, that's the strategic petroleum reserve, so that we're safe into the future. He could say, President Biden could say tomorrow, that he wants growth and that he wants to defend the dollar. He doesn't say any of those things. So I think the burden's on him and I hope President Trump can simply say, my plan is to make things better. What's yours? You know, I think, you know, you said it too. Okay, the tax exemption for the tips in the gig economy, it wouldn't be the biggest tax cut, but it would be a major tax cut. And to some extent, David, you know, it's symbolic, okay? One candidate would be for, you know, cutting taxes on tips for working folks. And I'm assuming Biden would be against it. I don't know that for sure, but it would be a cutting edge issue. It's like growth versus recession, opportunity versus redistribution or squelching opportunity. Right then and there. That's why the tip thing, not taxing tips, it has enormous importance and significant all of a sudden. That's right. Biden wants to blame businesses for being greedy. And the reality is government is just too big. And so one key issue for the debate is do you want bigger government and try to get Biden to actually take a stand and admit that he's been for big government and more regulations. So if that can be, you know, the focus to say we should have fewer regulations. For example, just take all of the appliances. The government is intensely regulating the appliances. It puts the prices up and people can't afford new homes in part because the appliance costs are so high. So just put them on the spot. I think the burdens on Biden to say, will he do anything differently than what he's doing to make things better? His budget is just huge out of sight on spending. Is that really what he stands for? Optimism. Optimism, growth, prosperity, opportunity, optimists always win David and Malcolm. It'll work. You're a great optimist yourself. Thank you ever so much. All right, folks, don't miss Fox News simulcast of the CNN presidential debate. That's tonight. 9 p.m. Eastern coming up here on Kudlow, President Trump held a black business roundtable at a hot land of barbershop yesterday right in the middle of hot land. Now he wasn't exactly there, but Mr. Trump was there. So we're going to find out the real story with prominent house members Wesley Hunt and Byron Donald's next up on Kudlow. Please stick around. Hey there, everybody. We are here in Westchester County, New York at the Wolf Conservation Center where an incredible group of people are working hard to protect these endangered animals. To step into the Wolf Conservation Center is to get a glimpse of some of the magic that's so often unfolds in this wild refuge all tucked away in the mountains of Westchester County, New York. What you're hearing is a conversation between two friends, Maggie Howell, Executive Director, and Zephyr, an 11-year-old gray wolf. They seem very comfortable with you. It seems like actually when you came by they saw you, they heard your voice and they all kind of perked up. Well, I think they know I'm just their biggest fan. No, yeah, I've known them since they were pups, but really I'm just amazed with them every day just what good educators they are. Zephyr is one of three gray wolves here at the center, all born in captivity. They're ambassadors with the sole purpose of inspiring and educating on behalf of their species. Wolf has kind of become a negative term in our language, so we're really trying to remind people that wolves are an animal, an important part of the fabric of nature, they're actually a keystone species, they have a trickle down impact on many other things in the ecosystem. The center also participates in the recovery of critically endangered red wolves and Mexican gray wolves. They were worried that the Mexican gray wolf was going to go extinct, so they gathered the last remaining wolves, brought them into captivity with the intent to breathe them and then release them back to the wild. When they did that, they caught seven animals, so those seven animals are the genetic founders for all Mexican gray wolves on the planet today. So genetics remains a really severe issue. The red wolf very similar, they saw them going extinct, they wanted to collect them, put them in captivity, breathe them, restore them to the wild. So 14 animals are what they caught and brought into captivity. So right now the Mexican gray wolf is 196 in the U.S., all in Arizona and New Mexico, and the red wolf, there's currently 17 left in the wild. Here at the center, there are nine red wolves and nearly two dozen Mexican gray wolves. Maggie and her team manage captive breeding and even make recommendations for some of the wolves to get back into the wild. So when they are released, is that scary? Yes, it is definitely mixed emotions. You're scared for them, but you're excited for them. This is where they're meant to be because there's none of this, there are no fences. The first wolf we ever released was back in 2006, and she was released with her mate and two, like three month old pups, and we're just so excited for them. U.S. Fish and Wildlife told us they actually caught an elk a couple of weeks after they were released. So she's never seen an elk, let alone hunted an elk, then be successful, and it really just made us so proud of her. So when we got the news later that she had been shot and killed, it was devastating. At the end of the day, these wolves aren't meant to be in captivity. And while some of us may never see wild wolves restored to the healthy numbers, they once were, we can rely on the work here and the hope of generations to come.

So, the Trump campaign yesterday hosted a black business roundtable in Atlanta. It was actually an Atlanta barbershop. Here to tell us the real story, House members Wesley Hunt in Texas, Byron Donalds from Florida Gentlemen, thank you very much for your time on a busy and important day. Wesley, I want to start with you. What happened in there? Now, as far as I know, the campaign sponsored this small business venue as I understand it in a barbershop, if that's true. But then you had a surprise guest on the telephone because Mr. Trump loves Byron so much, you wouldn't let Byron get off the phone. What happened exactly, Wesley, had this thing worked. And what did you all talk about? Well, I want to start by saying this. President Trump is a harbinger of black excellence, and to be in a black barbershop talking about the issues that impact black America, that by the way, also impact all Americans in the exact same right. It was an honor to be there. And the coolest thing about it was when President Trump called in a Byron and he set on the phone for 15 minutes. Now, how many times has a former president actually taken time out of his day to make a phone call to a barbershop to talk about the issues that impact the black community the most. It was an absolute honor to be there and to share the stage with Dr. Ben Carson, my good, good, good friend, Byron Donald's and myself. It was absolutely outstanding. We talked about the border. We talked about the economy. We talked about small businesses. And of course, we talked about no tax on tips, which directly impacts every single working class person in this country, specifically barbers. So if you could imagine it was an electric time, happy to be a part of it. And I'm so glad that my boy bar was with me. Byron, you know, by the way, I couldn't get 15 minutes on the phone with Mr. Trump. So, you know, he just loves you. But the other thing I want to ask you, Byron, what did the people in the meeting have to say? What kind of stuff were they asking? You know, what was the center of gravity as you saw it? Guys, I'm going to quote it. Leslie covered a lot of it, obviously the economy and inflation, but also we were just talking about politics and politicians. You know, we've been talking about how Donald Trump, what he's focused on, is an agenda for all Americans, whether you want to talk immigration, you want to talk education, you want to talk the economy, no tax on tips, et cetera. He's been focused on all Americans. And then the other fact that did come up a little bit is where is Joe Biden? Where are the Democrats? They really are not anywhere to be found because their agenda has been destructive of this country. And then we got into media bias and some of the things that media does in their coverage, not just of Donald Trump, but quite frankly, all Republicans and conservatives and how they will try to dice and slice words to try to make somebody seem that there's something that they're not. At the end of the day, great conversation in Atlanta with black business owners are here directly from them. And then when Donald Trump got on the phone, everybody had an opportunity to ask their question of him, totally unscripted, totally impromptu. It was a great event, something that the American people need to see a lot more of. Well, you know, that's right. Wesley Hunt, it's so interesting to me. In this campaign, Mr. Trump, is going into the neighborhoods, he's up close and personal. He's not speaking to this group or other groups from a distance, you know, or, you know, some kind of fancy place or hold up in Camp David, there's nothing wrong with Camp David, but to spend a week there preparing for a debate is not a good idea. My point is, I think Jason Riley has written about this, other people have written about this too. Mr. Trump is the first Republican in memory to actually go face to face and speak with these groups. And it seems to be paying off, Wesley. If nothing else, it's a symbol of how the GOP has changed. It most certainly is. And President Trump went to the Bronx. President Trump went to Philly. President Trump has surrogates all across the country speaking on his behalf. Where are Joe Biden's surrogates? He has no surrogates and I love the fact that we can actually draw this contrast with people like me and Byron and Dr. Carson to go out here and be a surrogate for President Trump in our community. But the most interesting part about yesterday was this, President Trump's mugshot came up and in that barbershop was a never surrender mugshot of President Trump prominently displayed behind us during the entire conversation and President Trump had no idea that it was in there. People are waking up to what is going on. Black issues are American issues. We are sick and tired of being sick and tired of being looked over again. We hate the direction of this country. We have four years of President Trump. We had it good. Biden has been a complete disaster. And now we have an opportunity in November to make it great again. Byron, I'm going to give you the last word. I always give you the last word, Byron, Donald's. I got 30 seconds. Byron always gets the last word. Byron always gets the last word. Byron, will Mr. Trump get this message out tonight? Will he get this message out tonight? He will, Larry, simply put, he's going to be able to do that because Joe Biden doesn't have a message. I was, I'm here in a spin room. I was asked a little bit ago, you know, is Donald Trump going to level personal attacks? And I said, Oh, contrary, the personal attacks are going to come from Joe Biden because he's got nothing else to stand on. Donald Trump is focused on the prescription that's going to get our country great again. He's going to be great. He's going to be great tonight. That's the way I see it. He's going to have an optimistic, positive message, Biden, whatever Biden does. I see it. You guys, I agree with you guys. The rest of the media says no, but I think you guys have an inside grip and is superstars, both of you. Mr. Wesley Hunt, Mr. Byron, Donald, thank you ever so much for your time. Good luck tonight. Coming up here on Cutlow, President Trump is going to fool people. You heard those two gentlemen. He's going to have a success and unity and optimistic message. Wait and see. Anyway, we've got some political sharpshooters, Marc Thiesen, Rich Lowry and the great Kellyanne Conway. Next, right here on set, Big Crowd, lots of company for me. We'll be right back. Bidenomics versus magnomics. As persistent inflation plagues Americans, which presidential candidates economic policy offers relief, Fox Business hears from corporate leaders and concerned citizens and breaks down the impact on your wallet, Fox Business, invested in you. In Garden City, Kansas, air ambulance pilot Rodney Baker is one of a dwindling number in his field, highly specialized providers who bridge the lifesaving gap between rural America and emergency health care. We have a goal in our and that's a standard in EMS is that that patient needs to be at a level one trauma center or trauma physician within that hour to increase their survivability. Flying ICU bases are located all over the country, but last year Air Methods Corp, the nation's largest provider, shut down several citing inflation, under reimbursement by Medicare and federal regulations and the pilot shortage isn't helping. These are certainly hard times for our industry and our ability to serve the communities that we serve across the country. According to the American College of Surgeons, one in four Americans live more than an hours drive away from a potentially lifesaving trauma center. And if I hadn't have that possibilities, I probably wouldn't be here today. In 2019, Sean Eligis Skull was crushed while working inside a wind turbine in rural Kansas. He needed brain surgery, which was a devastating two and a half hour drive away in Wichita. Where I was airlifted, it only took about between 50, 50 minutes to an hour to get to Wichita to have that surgery. One study by Boeing found in the next 15 years, the world will face a shortage of 61,000 helicopter pilots. Becoming one is expensive, training and education costs up to $170,000. Entry level pay is around 60 grand. Frankly, from a financial aspect, the airlines were out competing us on salary. And even with lucrative signing bonuses in the tens of thousands of dollars, Air Ambulance companies still need to convince young pilots to live in small towns. Money is not always the answer. Be in where you want to be. Doing the right thing, taking care of your patients and your crew is more important. Helicopters just like this one are now flying to middle and high school campuses in an effort to get kids interested in a career in vertical flight. In Watkins, Colorado, Alicia Kounya, Fox News. The Department of Veterans Affairs started its Compassionate Contact Core program in 2020. Weekly phone calls between volunteers and lonely and socially isolated veterans. How much has it grown since it started? We started with eight sites around the country and now we are at over 65 sites and we have last year we made over 13,000 unique phone calls to our veterans. The program has since received encouraging positive feedback. From our veterans, we've heard things like this has been a lifesaver. We've had veterans that have lost their spouses and they didn't think that they would carry on a year and we've paired them with volunteers and those veterans are still with us because now they have someone to talk to every week and it's the same person. Some of our volunteers also get a little bit of loneliness and so they're able to connect as well and a lot of our volunteers are also veterans. It's also provided insight into loneliness amongst veterans. The reason why our veterans are more susceptible is because of their exposure to things such as stress, trauma, burnout and now we know that there are some clinical issues that might exacerbate this because they may feed off of each other but puts our veterans at higher risk for more clinical conditions like depression, anxiety, substance abuse and suicidal ideations. The goal is to keep expanding and connecting. If you are a veteran or a family member, all you need to do is reach out to your VA clinician and let them know you're interested in participating and I'd like to applaud you right now because we know that there are stigmas attached to loneliness and social isolation so I'd like to applaud that bravery. Distant volunteers can reach out to a local VA Medical Center or VA.gov. Ashley DeVorkin, Fox News. Income investor concerns.

On the next Barron's Roundtable brought to you by GlobalX, Beyond Ordinary ETFs. So another question before the House did, the Supreme Court just paved the way for more government censorship right ahead of this election. Let's ask Missouri Senator Eric Schmidt, Senator Schmidt, welcome sir. Missouri was involved in this and I wondered whether you were the Attorney General when this happened or whatever but then the question is why did this happen? A six to three vote, which to me is the world turned upside down. Yeah, I was Attorney General Missouri when we filed this and really uncovered a vast censorship enterprise and the lower courts called it Orwellian. Nothing has changed. I think that the Supreme Court sort of punted on this on a standing issue. It's headed back to the lower court but one thing that's clear after this case, what we know now is how broad this was, how the Biden administration worked over time, whether it was on the 100 Biden laptop or it was on efficacy of mass or the COVID vaccine to silence the cent. And I think it's going to be relevant. I think this is an important point Larry even in the debate tonight, I'm here in Atlanta. Be interesting. I know Joe Biden likes to talk about threats to democracy. If you want to know the real threat to democracy, it's censoring Americans is trying to throw your opponent in prison. It's a facilitating an invasion of this country with 10 million people here illegally trying to turn him into voters. So I think this is actually a good point for President Trump to make that Joe Biden's the real threat to democracy here. Well, you know, that Washington Post poll showed that on the issue of democracy, vote his favorite Trump. I don't know if anybody reads the post anymore, they're going bankrupt, they're losing money hand over fist. But anyway, they did have a poll and the poll came up at the startling result that if you're in worried about democracy, quote unquote, their favorite Trump, let me just ask you though, use why they said it had no, the states had no standing. And so that wasn't clearly a decision in favor of the government's censorship or is there more to it than that? Yeah, they clearly didn't endorse the idea that the government can, you know, coerce or even collude with these social media companies. But I think what happened was after we got the, essentially the restraining order, the temporary restraining order and the injunction, the government sort of took a step back, thankfully, from doing some of this activity. But we've already seen indications, Larry, another senator was talking about how the intelligence community is already working with the White House and social media companies to take on disinformation, misinformation. And to me, that's code for things we don't like. So Americans should be on guard as we roll into the election here that the Biden administration is going to work with some of the biggest companies in the history of the world to silence Americans and to prevent them from seeing information that might damage Joe Biden. So I think we need to have our, our antennas up here and be extra vigilant. Just last one, sir, I mean, tonight's a big night and so forth. Speaking of legal issues, there he goes again. So two federal court judges, actually they were Obama appointees, you know what's coming, said we're going to have an injunction, we're going to enjoin the government from canceling student loans over 10 years. I think this tranche was about $500 billion, that ain't chum change. And of course, Mr. Biden, through his press secretary said, doesn't matter, we're going to continue to do it. We're just going to go out and cancel student loans despite the fact that the Supreme Court has said no and a couple of federal judges have said no. I might add Obama federal judges. Okay. Why do you make it that? Law and order, sir. Democracy? Really? Right. Right. Well, this is like back to the future for me too. I was the attorney general in Missouri that brought that original student loan debt forgiveness scam case to the Supreme Court. And we won. The court said you have no authority to go do this. So they've tried to go do this piecemeal and guess what? This lower court said, yeah, the Supreme Court's already spoken on this issue. So they're going to continue to try to buy votes, Larry. It's not going to work because younger voters see how much more expensive their life is now, how hard it is to get into home, how much more expensive is at the grocery store. So these really desperate attempts to buy off votes aren't going to work. They're illegal. They're unconstitutional. And another court just said it again. All right. You just, you know, you're supposed to obey the law. I don't know. That's just what I thought democracy meant, Senator Eric Schmidt. Thank you, sir. Thank you very much. Good luck tonight. Now let's talk a little politics. We've got Mark Tiesen, former White House speech writer and Fox News contributor. And if that weren't enough, we've got Rich Lowry, editor-in-chief of the National Review. All right. We're talking power here. So tell me I'm crazy, Rich Lowry. I'm saying, I said it, I was working with Sandra Smith on her show and here on this show and Tommy Tupper, but Trump has a message that everyone wants to ignore. The message is, essentially, success is the best revenge. That is to say, successful policies grow the economy that will unify the country. Now, I believe he will try his best to get that message out tonight. He doesn't want to go and mud wrestle. Yes, he'll jab back if he has to, but I think he's going to get that message out. The whole media says, no, and they're going to do this and they're going to do that. What is Rich Lowry saying? Biden's going to try to provoke him, call him convicted, felon repeatedly, and Trump has to defend himself on that and will fiercely, but he should always bring him back to what you're talking about. I just think Trump doesn't have to land knockout blows tonight. Usually you're a challenger running against incumbent president. You need to make the case he needs to be fired, but I think people are already ready to fire, Joe Biden, and the only question is whether they're with the alternative. So if Trump just controls himself, is acceptable to people, he will win the debate. Now, I think the range of outcomes for Trump, he could hurt himself a little bit, could help himself a little bit. For Biden, the range of outcomes is much bigger, could help himself a little bit, could destroy himself. We get Kellyanne to strap in here, we're all blessed, all blessed by her presence stripped right off the issell. I think she parachuted here. I think your students are covering this, and now they're covering this thing and it's going to magically appear. We've had him in the debate here, but it's been filled by one of the smartest people in the country. I just want to ask, Mark, on this point, Rich hinted at the end of his comment, "This is a bigger thing for Biden tonight than it is for Trump." Biden screws up even a little bit and they're going to be howling. You had this, I know we're not Paul Driven, but the New York Times, Sienna, Paul came out today. It's worse for Biden, Trump's pulling away nationally, much less in the swingstays and on the issues. So I'm just saying, this is bigger for Biden, isn't it? It is. Trump is the front runner without a doubt. It's closer than a lot of people think. I think we don't want to get irrational exuberance, I think he's going to win, but he needs every single vote. And so what I think, one of the very interesting polls that came out recently with the New York Times, Sienna, Paul asked, "Has Donald Trump ever said anything to offend you?" And 6 in 10 people said either never or not recently. Among younger voters, 77% said that. Never bothered me. I just want to put that on the paper. But so, you know, there are a lot of people who like Donald Trump's policies but didn't like his behavior, didn't like his temperament and all the rest of that. And we've now had four years where they haven't seen him every day, they haven't been exposed to him every day. And so in this debate, he wants to go into that debate thinking about the swing voter who is looking, who likes his policies, who thinks Joe Biden is a disaster, but isn't quite sure if they can pull the lever for Donald Trump. How is he going to persuade that person and let that person give themselves permission to vote in their self-interest? Just playing it straight, I think. Kellyanne, you cut your breath. Thank you for doing this. I know you're running from the train, we appreciate it very much. The intro here was, my view, actually, Tommy Tuberville agreed with it, West Hunt and Byron Donald Trump has a message that the liberal media doesn't want to hear and that is success of the policies will breed unity throughout the country. Correct. And, you know, you and I have talked a million times, there's an affordability crisis, there's a housing affordability crisis. All these data points are in Trump's favor. And I think he's going to have the big picture theme and then his punches are going to be on the merits of those data points. What say you? I believe the president will channel the people's grievances and not his own. Having said that, folks are looking for strength and fairness. They don't see either a strong military, a strong border, a strong economy, strength for the U.S. abroad again so that we feel proud when we're entangled abroad. Also fairness has become a huge governing theme in this country. So Trump likes to say there's a two-tiered system of justice against him, but most people are saying it's not fair for plumbers and pipe-fitters to pay for the student loans of doctors and lawyers. It's not fair that 10 million people have crossed this southern border a number larger than the population of about 40 states. It's not fair that you have men and women's sports, it's not fair that the tax system is what it is. And I think that fairness is different than what the left sells, which is equity, equity, equity is a quality of outcomes. Fairness is a quality of opportunity. I think if President Trump promises people that things will feel fair again, that you can get ahead, folks just feel like there's just a lack of control, a lack of security. The other thing I like to say, it's not just a test of wills, a test of acuity, agility, ability tonight. It's a test of their records. And when you put the record side by side, and I want to say one thing about President Trump's personality, it turns out he's the guy that Biden promised he'd be. It's Trump trying to unify. He's meeting with Mitch McConnell, he's telling David Valadeo, Congressman from California who voted to impeach him. Let me know if I can help you in your race. Larry Hogan and Mary. Larry, he's endorsing Larry Hogan for Senate, well Larry Hogan's saying, I will not endorse Donald Trump. Great. That's a unify, but nothing quite unifies us all as prosperity, opportunity, growth for all. And people know in 2019, we had the best household income in history, including the rise and tide that lifted all boats folks want to get back to that. CNN thinks they're doing a big civic service by muting Donald Trump's microphone. Oh my goodness, Joe Biden has to mandatorily speak for half of the debate, make mine a double. It's five o'clock somewhere, it's almost five o'clock here. I mean, make mine a double. This is great. It just raises another point. I did not understand. Biden's tucked away for a week at Camp David, and they set up this debate set in the airplane hanger and so forth and so on. And he's got 16 advisors, Chris has probably twice as many. They're drilling them twice a day. And I've said this last time, look, I have most of my marbles left. If you made me do 90 minutes twice a day, and you're throwing 16, 20 people at me, and they're all firing questions and darts and numbers, I wouldn't get anything out of that. But what does it speak to? I speak to you, Roland. What does it speak to, right? A lack of trust. What does it speak? A lack of trust. Right. First thing, I'm walking out to the podium and walking off the podium, everything, and look, 9 p.m. for a Joe Biden is like 1 in the morning, right? I wouldn't count on him totally flubbing it, right? I wouldn't expect it necessarily. But if there's a major flub, especially if it's a little weird or a little funny, it can be spread on social media, you know, for days afterwards, that could be a torpedo to the bow. All right. Mark, one other thing. One of the managers said this last night on the show, it was a very interesting point. He said, "Most of the people watching this debate do not believe that they will be watching Joe Biden as a president in the next four years." And what he was referring to was Kamala Harris, that they may see Biden, but no one expects him, even if he wins the last four years. And so there's Kamala Harris lurking in the background in the shadows, and that's a big negative for Biden. Have you thought about that? Does that make any sense? That was 100 percent into me. So this is going to become a theme, which is that he's not the real nominee. There is not a single serious person who will tell you that Joe Biden will finish the second term. Kamala Harris, if you just look at the social security actuarial tables, the author, there's not going to happen. If I was advising Donald Trump, hint Kellyanne, I would tell him to show up at the vice presidential debate and debate her too, because she's the real nominee. Yeah. I mean, look, a vote for Joe Biden. He's a vote for Kamala. She has turned the vice presidency into a no-show job. It says there is nothing on the vice president's public schedule today. How is this possible? How is she the least busy person that we know? And I think you're going to see a lot more money behind that entire notion. In fact, the Trump campaign is releasing two ads tonight during the debate. One is called Promises, and it shows Joe Biden's lack of promise keeping. But it's also the second one really makes it get this case, that a vote for Joe Biden's a vote for Kamala Harris. And that's scary. I don't believe us, believe Democrats, people who were so excited about Kamala Harris as the vice president now want to talk to you about the weather and your kids. And they may be standing in a rainstorm, and you may not even have kids, and they want to talk to you about the weather and kids. Anything to not talk about, Kamala, I personally know some donors who want to put their money and their treasure, their time and talent behind this kind of initiative going into the fall, which is you have to be afraid of her because people have seen her in action. She has shed 28 senior staffers, let me make one big pitch for Trump's personality. So you don't get these policies without his personality. You don't get the trade deal. So Biden's not doing public events, and Kamala's not doing public. They're showing up in public. I just wanted to say one thought. A.I. Generate. Doug Burgum, the governor of North Dakota, looks a lot like George Washington. That's the last thing I'm going to say. Rich Larry, Kellyanne, Connolly, and Marc Thieson. Thank you ever so much. Coming up, folks, another tragic teenage murder by an illegal alien. Joe Biden won't talk about it. DHS Secretary, my orchestra won't talk about it. We are going to talk about it with Senator Marcia Blackburn up next. Thanks to all of you, appreciate it very much. Before the big night, Fox Business gets critical insight from Laura Trump, at least Stefanik, Scott Bessent, and many more on a special two-hour bottom line tonight. Many people can say owning a dog will change your life for the better. But at Laser Ranch K9 Academy, they are taking that literally. Just trying to help as many people and dogs as possible. Working hand-in-hand with a local rescue, Michelle Abel has been taking in rescue dogs and training them in buyers since May of 2021. I will take in some of their more difficult dogs, and we train them to be able to place them better in homes is how it started. Then she took it a step further, turning them into service dogs. Most importantly, it's teaching them to be proper service dog. When dogs walk into a public place, they should stay and lay down and not move. And so there's a lot of training that goes into that. But Abel didn't stop there. And they were both be turned into gluten detection dogs. The whole thing started as one of my daughter's friends was diagnosed with celiac, and her mother dared me to teach a dog to detect gluten. People with celiacs disease, sometimes the tiniest trace amounts of gluten can have large impacts. Cross-contamination happens often. It literally can do damage to their internal organs. They have determined that it can go as far as brain damage at times. Starting with 500 million receptors in their noses, the dogs are able to pick up those minute amounts of gluten, letting their owners know whether it's safe or not. The need for having a dog that can bring that sense of security is huge and can be life-changing to people. Now Abel is trained dogs to go across the nation. I've got one client that is purchasing a dog. They are opening a celiac restaurant. Another one that is actually an employee of Disney, helping rescue dogs and people at the same time. Every family, there's different circumstances, and we try to train these dogs according to their expectations, their needs, and the lifestyle that they have. William Carney, although the actions that he took on Morris Island happened July 18th of 1863, he did not get recognized for it until years later, right around 1900, 1902. The Defense Department was putting together photographs of African-Americans who have been awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor to take part in the world exposition in Paris, France. And they noticed Carney had been recommended for the medal, but never received it. Back in those days, it was not a White House ceremony like today. The Medal of Honor was basically sent through the mail with a citation. Carney, being the humble individual that he was, he was very gratified that he received the medal. He was not the first physically to receive it because other black soldiers who had served in the Union Army had received it before him, but his action happened first, right on Morris Island July 18th of 1863. After Carney received his medal of honor, the state of Massachusetts gave him a position at the Boston State House. Carney worked at this position up until 1908. Unfortunately, at the age of 68 years old, he was involved in an elevator accident, he fractured his leg, and he passed away from the infections. He was buried in New Bedford, and Carney was the first African-American where the state of Massachusetts lowered the flags at half mass to honor his service. The once indestructible Fort Wacker is now under water, having been washed away by decades of erosion. But the heroism that took place on Morris Island can never be forgotten. A unit of men who risked their lives for their country, at a time when others weren't willing to do the same in return. Well, look at Joe Biden's open border killing innocent Americans. Joining us to talk about this, Tennessee Senator Marshall Blackburn, Senator Blackburn, thank you, ma'am. As always, today is a very, very sad day, funeral. This 12-year-old girl, Jocelyn Nungari, down in Texas, killed by two illegals, I guess, from Venezuela, maybe from one of the gangs, maybe not. Rachel Moran was another one in Baltimore, Maryland, you know, Lincoln, Riley, and Georgia. And the thing is, ma'am, they're so amazing, here you have DHS Secretary Myarcus refusing to take any blame for it. He says it's just about the individuals, has nothing to do with the border policy, and his boss, Joe Biden, never, ever mentions the names of these individuals. What's you thinking here as we head towards the debate tonight, Senator Blackburn? Larry, we should say their names, and we should remember them. And the angel families that are out there want us to talk about these that have lost their lives and remember them. And as we go into the debate tonight, what we need to remember is that the border, that open border, Joe Biden's border policy, is one of the top things on the minds of the American people. And they see it, they're living it in their communities. They know that President Donald Trump is going to have that border secured. It is going to be a top priority for him. And I am so grateful to be here in Atlanta and be a part of the spin room for him tonight to make certain that that message gets out. And as I'm across Tennessee, and I talk with our sheriffs and local officials, every town's a border town, every state's a border state because of the drugs, human trafficking, sex trafficking, the crime that has come into communities because of the open border. What do you think it is, Senator? Here's Joe Biden, been in office, you know, 50 years plus. It's just not in his DNA to understand what you just described, to understand the tragedy of his policies. But he never mentions the individuals. He shows no compassion or empathy with it. I've never seen anything like it, even if you make a mistake, you can still show empathy and he just doesn't do any of that. Why is that, Senator Blackburn? It is baffling that he does not have that ability to be empathetic and to listen to these local officials. And I have been in several Tennessee counties this week, Larry, and they will talk with you. They will talk about DUIs that are up. They will talk about crime that is up. They will talk about the heartbreak of dealing with families because of the drugs and the crime that they are seeing and they know that President Trump relates to this. He talked with these families and he is going to do something about it. He is going to go back to building that wall, securing that border, being certain that border patrol has what they need to secure the border. And he is going to make certain that local law enforcement has what they need to do the job. Local law enforcement, they know that Donald Trump is going to be with them on dealing with this, making our community safe and secure. Thank you very much. We appreciate it, Senator. Thanks very, very much. Be back with my last word, folks. Well, Greens plans to close a significant number of its 8,600 stores in coming years and cut its stake in primary care provider Village MD. It plans to reassign staff so there won't be a large number of job losses. All Greens and other pharmacy chains have been making less from prescription drugs. In tech news, Morgan Stanley will launch an AI assistant called Debrief to handle thousands of hours of work for its financial advisors. Debrief will do the so-called grunt work. The program takes notes on client meetings so it doesn't have to be done by hand. And Google is using facial recognition technology at its Washington campus. Security cameras will compare facial data to employees ID badges to keep unauthorized people out. TSA is expecting Friday to be the busiest air travel day in U.S. history. More than 3 million people are expected to flood airports ahead in the 4th of July holiday. And Wallachub rated the best destinations for celebrating Independence Day. New York City is listed at number two, followed by Seattle, Las Vegas and Minneapolis. And the top spot goes to Drumroll, please, Los Angeles. LA has the second most party supply stores and the most July 4th related Google searches. That's Business. I'm CJ Papa. When Lieutenant Mark Quicks saw a car wreck in January, the off duty firefighter and registered nurse rushed to help, only to be struck by another vehicle. From that point on, I don't remember anything. I just remember waking up in a hospital bed days later. Mark had multiple injuries, including to his brain and spine. Those first few days, we really weren't sure. First if he would make it, and then how he would make it. His doctor sent him for rehabilitation at Atlanta's internationally acclaimed Shepherd Center. The professionalism, the bedside manner, was just outstanding. And I couldn't be at a better place. Other patients have experienced the same, including longtime Fox News contributor Charles Krauthammer, who received eight months of treatment. In a 2018 thank you letter, Krauthammer writes, "How you found staff, so uniformly skilled, caring, competent and energetic is beyond me, but you did it and I congratulate you for it." A major expansion is underway to admit up to 350 more patients per year. It will bring in the latest technology, but Shepherd Center's philosophy will remain the same. "We are a family. We are not a hospital. And so this was a facility that was started by a family that wanted to build things from a patient-centered focus first." Many of the staff are former patients. That idea appeals to Mark Quick, who continues to regain his mobility throughout patient therapy. When he's well enough, he wants to first return to the fire department and later work as a nurse. "I believe that's the purpose of life. So while I can, I want to be able to help as many people as I can." Shepherd Center refers to its former patients as graduates, like a good school. It helps them reach their full potential, regardless of the circumstances that brought them here. In Atlanta, John Ansiri, Fox News. Hello to our viewers in the Netherlands.
