No Growth Policy in Harris-Walz Plans

Kamala Harris chose Tim Walz because he is a card-carrying member of the ultra-liberal progressive left Bernie Sanders wing of the Democratic Party. That's why she chose him. And that's why she can no longer make any claims or various – shall we say– policy conversions that suggest she's really a moderate Democrat.

Clay, Cher, and of course, listen to the quiz at the quiz dot fox. Hello, folks. Welcome to Cudlow. I'm Larry Cudlow. Well, Kamala Harris went far left progressive Bernie Sanders when she chose Tim Walz as her running mate. It's going to give Trump Vans a new campaign opening if they take it. But they promised Swami on that just a couple of moments. But first up, we've got a Fox News William Legendess. He's standing by to tell us a little bit about these Governor Walz policies. I know you're itching to go, Williams. Good to see you. What's you cooking? The same, Larry. So let's look at three things, right? Voting, money, and support from special interest groups. On policy, Walz supports union organizing of $15 minimum wage, environmental protections over free trade. And as a governor, he supported gender affirming care for transgender kids, legalized recreational marijuana, free school, breakfast, and lunch for all children, abortion with no restrictions. Month seven, six, seven, eight, pregnant, it's okay. Free college tuition for families earning less than 80 grand, employer and paid family and medical leave 100% clean energy by 2040. He supports sanctuary cities, citizenship for dreamers, drivers licenses, and taxpayer-funded health care for illegal immigrants, voted against increased penalties for criminal aliens. He opposed the border wall, even joking about helping immigrants enter illegally. He talks about this wall. I always say, let me know how high it is. If it's 25 feet, then I'll invest in the 30-foot ladder factory. That's not how you stop this. Walls ran six times for Congress raising 24 million, his largest donor, organized labor, 1.3 million, followed by lawyers and lobbyists. As for special interests, Walz gets 100% rating from Planned Parenthood, 86% Sierra Club, and the Center for Biodiversity, which opposes and litigates almost any development on public land. He opposed the Trump tax cuts, but he backed big government spending according to watchdog groups, 19% rating from the National Taxpayers Union, 10% from the Club for Growth, high marks from green energy groups like the League of Conservation Voters, and low marks from mining and petroleum groups, 92% approval from the ACLU, and an F from the NRA for his support of universal background checks and red flag laws. So that is his record, Larry, what he will actually campaign on. We will see. Back to you. Whoa. Whoa. Man, I'm going to stay on your good side. What a list. You can say that. I mean, what a list. Well, Larry, you know, you can also tell about a person by their friends, and that's what we're attempting to do here. Back to you. Well done. That's the most comprehensive thing I've seen. William Legendess, we appreciate it very much. All right, folks, make no mistake about it. Kamala Harris, choice of Governor Tim Walz, was driven by far left progressive Bernie Sanders politics, and that's the subject of tonight's riff. So I stayed up to the early hours of the morning last night, reading online versions in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, the Washington Post, about why Kamala Harris chose Governor Tim Walz as her running mate. Know what? I should have gotten better early. Each account set exactly the same thing. Mainly, Ms. Harris made a so-called gut decision and felt more comfortable with Walz than Shapiro. By response to this awful journalism, shear utter nonsense. Who are they kidding? Kamala Harris chose Tim Walz because he is a card-carrying member of the ultra-liberal progressive left Bernie Sanders wing of the Democratic Party. That's why she chose him. That's why she can no longer make any claims or various, shall we say, policy conversions. That suggests she's really a moderate Democrat. No, she's not. Her positions as a U.S. senator and presidential candidate and loyal member of the Biden administration are progressive left. By the way, important to give an exemption to the above-mentioned journalistic folder all to the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal, which correctly argued that the beef was bending to progressive Bernie Sanders-type pressures. Good for the editorial page. And by the way, that same editorial page mentioned, Pennsylvania's Governor Shapiro was too pro-Israel and too much support for school vouchers. Those were barriers to his nomination to the Democratic ticket. I would only add to that Mr. Wall's favors oil. I mean, Mr. Shapiro favors oil and gas fracking and fossil fuels as governor of the big oil state. National Democrats can't handle that. They can't stand that. Our own William Legendess has just outlined all the Wall's left-wing social policies in great detail. Thanks again for that, William. Donald Trump, meanwhile, and J.D. Vance are going to make mincemeat of them over this whole story in Pennsylvania, where David McCormick stands a good chance of winning a U.S. Senate seat from Robert Casey Jr. But I think the biggest problem for this new Harris Wall's ticket is that while economic recession is not yet here, the risks are growing and they have no growth strategy at all. I'm not ignoring borders are Harris's open border catastrophe. I'm not ignoring the related crime wave. I'm not ignoring the long tail of consumer price increases that have robbed middle-class paychecks and made it impossible to afford the Biden-Harris economy. I'm not ignoring the breakout and mishandling of foreign wars. But mandating and enter fracking along with carbon taxes, EV mandates, bans on gas-powered cars, killing pipelines, all these measures are job killers, not job creators. Promises to raise taxes by $4 or $5 trillion is a job killer, not a job creator. Massive new spending programs, not just on climate change, but also nationalizing health care and bigger entitlements, plus ignoring the Supreme Court by canceling student debt and maintaining a liberal anti-business regulatory state, these are all job killers, not job creators. Really, really step back for a minute, there's not one wit of a growth policy in any of the Harris Wall's policy plans. And for them, that may well be a job killer, not a job creator. And that is the riff. All right, joining me now are dear friend Vivek Ramaswami, our presidential candidate, campaign surrogate. Vivek, as always, welcome back, good to see you. So here's the thing. I think this gives whole new dimension. Kamal Harris, it's almost, I won't say she's out from behind the curtain, but she picked walls, she went with the far left progresses, the Bernie Sanders wing of the party, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. What does this mean? What does this mean for the Trump Vance campaign? What does this mean for the Democrats campaign? I mean, to some extent, I think when this surfaces, the bloom is off the rose, but what says Vivek Ramaswami? Look, I'm going to be very frank, Larry. The last few weeks haven't been our best. This gives us exactly the reset that we require. I was shocked that she didn't go with Shapiro. That would have been the rational move for her. But it tells us a lot about Kamala Harris. Say what you will about walls. The vice president doesn't really matter as much in setting policy. What it tells us about Kamala Harris's decision-making as a potential US president. This was her first presidential style decision she had to make, and it shows to which side she actually bends the knee, the far left progressive wing. And the funny thing, it's the dirty little secret about both of them, actually, Larry, is they began their careers in politics appearing to be more centrist Democrats. Kamala Harris in California, even walls in Congress positioned himself as a centrist compromise or in a Democrat, yet he ended up migrating to the left. So it's not so much that these people have their own independent ideologies. Who knows what Kamala Harris' ideology is? Who knows what Tim Walz's actual ideology is? But what it shows is which wing of the Democratic Party ultimately controls their behaviors. So in the end, it may be that just that they're puppets, they're puppets wielded by the far left. But regardless, that policy record is something they're going to have to own, and it isn't going to be good for them now through November. Well, I want to unpack a couple of these points. These are great points, very important points. I mean, for one thing, look, you know, last night, I called it the Bernie Sanders decision. Bernie Sanders is two for two. Bernie Sanders wanted Kamala Harris not Biden, and Bernie Sanders wanted walls not Shapiro, and he got his way. He is the leader of the left wing, progressives in the Democratic Party. Bernie Sanders didn't like Shapiro. I don't know if there's any anti-Semitism here. Mr. Sanders himself is of the Jewish faith. He just didn't like it because he's two pro-Israel, because he was in favor of school choice, and he was in favor of fracking in an oil state like Pennsylvania. Those are, you know, unacceptable things in progressive litany. So I'm just saying, on this point, Kamala didn't just have a gut reaction, or she sat down and felt more comfortable, like all these newspapers wrote about last night, and I stayed up way too late to read that nonsense. She went there because that's the center of the Democratic Party, and they're weighing, that teacher's union is weighing in. The service union is weighing in, right? Bernie Sanders is weighing in. Elizabeth Warren is weighing in. I mean, the phonewars were burning, and that's why she stole it. That's where I want to start. This wasn't some gut reaction flipping a coin. Oh, he's a lovely fellow. Let's put him on the ticket. She was hearing it from the left-wing interest groups. Well, the reality is there's also a contradiction in how they're pitching this guy walls in the first place. They're pitching them as some sort of Midwestern unifier. The reality is this. You can't have it both ways. This is the guy that has gone out of his way to call 70 plus million Americans, if not more, in his words, just plain weird. I reject this, Larry. I think that this is fundamentally against national unity. The idea of, no matter who wins this election, to say that 70 plus million people on the other side are somehow no longer part of the same culture or country is alienating. So Joe Biden campaigned on national unity. He failed miserably. Kamala Harris tries to invoke it, and so does this guy walls. Yet it is completely contradictory with respect to their core message and approach. Now, here's my view. My top advice to our own side is this. Three words. Focus on policy. If we focus on policy, we win this election. If we offer our own vision for the future of the United States of America, we win this election. If we fall into the trap of really following the other side's shenanigans and obsessing over that, we create greater risk for ourselves. So to me, the wall spick actually presents risks, frankly, for both sides. The risk to the Democrats is that it causes them to lose centrist voters, as I believe they will, over wall says policy record. But I think the risk for Republicans, Larry, is that some of his stances and some of his positions and his approach have been so bad that it actually distracts us to go down a rabbit hole that we don't need to go down. Instead, we got to focus on what do we care about, seal the border, grow the economy, stay out of World War III, and lift up all Americans, including in our national pride. Focus on that. We win this thing hands down. We just got to avoid that risk of distraction, which is exactly the risk that the Kamala Harris Tim wall's ticket presents. You know, I think all that. Put the foreign wars aside, and not that it's unimportant. I'm going to make a separate point to make growth, growth, growth, growth. At the convention, I thought Donald Trump just was brilliant in his discussion of growth. This was right after the attempted assassination. But he talked about tax cuts and deregulation and fracking, and downsizing the bureaucracy, as you have talked about so frequently, actually obeying the Supreme Court, the other team wants to pack the Supreme Court. I mean, he was fabulous on growth. I'm not going to say he lost that message because, you know, I hear it and I look at it, but I think he's been distracted by a couple other things, and I think they, the Democratic ticket, has not one centilla, not a single basis point, the vague of growth in their platform anywhere, whether it's regulations, taxes, or frack, anywhere. And people are worried about that, right? The stock market, not good. A lot of economic indicators, not good. I'm not saying we're in a recession, but I'm saying the risk of recession or the front end of recession. So, growth, growth, that's what, you know, Reagan taught me 40 years ago, plus growth. So, Larry, you call me on here usually because you want the truth from me, so I'm going to give it to you on both here. The reality is, I think the Republican Party has not always been particularly strong on this issue. And some of those fissures, even on the right, I think actually create a lost opportunity for us. You're right, the Democrats have abandoned a pro-growth agenda altogether. But the reality is, if you look at the last several years, you do have Republicans posing bills in the U.S. Senate and elsewhere, raising the minimum wage nationally, looking at other kinds of anti-growth measures, believing that economic growth is not necessarily an objective that we should prize above others. So, I do think the more clear-minded we are in embracing that. I think President Trump actually has been pretty good, quite good on this issue, in terms of rolling back the regulatory state, rolling back the tax burden, growing the economy and the kind of economic growth we saw under President Trump's leadership. Frankly, if we saw that more the way all the way up and down the party, we would actually be in an even stronger position to differentiate ourselves against the waltzes of the world, versus where sometimes I think we can risk losing the plot with respect to union policy, with respect to minimum wage policy. When we see that creeping up in the Republican Party, that actually leaves us in a weaker position. So, President Trump's first term was outstanding. I think he's been great on this issue, but I think he needs to continue to lead the way. And the sad truth is, we may squander that opportunity unless we actually shore up to our roots and say, you know what, we believe in a smaller state, tame that regulatory state, unleash American innovation, don't apologize for it. That's actually who we are. So, I'll speak that truth even if it's a little bit uncomfortable. That's the reality. No, no, no, no. I 100% with you. Look, I'm an old free market, you know. Free market capitalism is the best path to prosperity. I said that for many years on another network when I had a show there. You're absolutely right. You know, if Republicans or conservatives want to use big government the way Democrats are, that doesn't make it right. It does not make it right. So, you're completely right. I would say to you, Mr. Trump knows this and he's done pretty well. He lost his stride a little bit last weekend in Atlanta, Georgia. But now he's got a reopening. You call it a reset. I call it a reopening, but that's a good thing. I think his running mate is picking up his game, too. We've got some great quotes. I interviewed JD Vance on this show last night. I think he's picking up his game on growth. But, Vague Rama Swarming, you always pick up your game. It's terrific stuff, honestly. Thank you ever so much for helping us this evening. We appreciate it. Thank you. All right. Coming up here on Cudlow, speaking of which a recession may not be here yet, but the risks are rising. So, where are the growth policies? Well, as Steve Forbes and Liz Peake right here on set next up. Remember, you can catch Cudlow money through Friday at 4 p.m. right here on Fabulous Fox Business. You can't catch us at 4 for heaven's sakes. Just text your favorite nine-year-old. And she will show you how to DVR the show. So, you'll never miss a growth message. Me? I'm still Cudlow. We'll be right back. [Music] Seven weeks of grueling training have pushed the pilots to their brink. But nothing will compare to what comes next. One final evolution, incorporating every type of aircraft on base, each doing everything they've learned during their time in Yuma. It's known as Finex. Last one. So, that's a good thing. Very first be over. During Finex, the F-18s will be providing air cover for the cobras, while they, in turn, provide assault support for a ground force. The Hueys, they'll be spread out to three different locations to set up bases, transport troops, and provide assault support. There's like 27 missions ongoing simultaneously and not the biggest range space in the world. The challenging aspect is the fact that you are integrating in a very, very short amount of time with every other department. You are having to make a plan that is executable, that accomplishes the mission, but it's that integration in a very short amount of time that creates the greatest challenge, in my opinion, of Finex. This is the last chance for students to prove themselves worthy, not only of graduating, but more importantly, being invited back as the WTI instructor. I'm going to be going out to the north objective area. We're going to work on setting up multiple expeditionary advance bases and then continuously moving them farther north. This is the last chance, only like either make it or break it. I'm fine with Zika for the last one. He's the department head. That last impression is the standing impression. Hopefully, don't mess it up too bad. While Chopper hopes for a clean flight, fellow Huey student Tinkle looks to reestablish himself as the best of the best. His major misstep in week two of Flight Phase led to a harsh debrief. That debrief will stay top of mind, mostly because Tinkle will be flying with instructor Wolf, the man who leveled the criticism. It's going to be a really big mission and I was looking forward to some extent, like almost redeem myself a little bit. My name is Ainsley Arrowhart, so in 2016, I kept calling Hillary Clinton's office and they kept telling me no, she's not prepared to interview with you, we'll let you know the whole run around. After the election, I talked to her campaign and they said it was one of the biggest mistakes that Hillary made that cost her votes. My advice to all the candidates, sit down with us and have a conversation. Don't take our viewers for granted. The consumer is strong, the balance sheets are strong, brings you America's business news. There's so much going on. And what it means for you, we want to get some breaking news to you right now, Fox Business Alert. Like Fox Business, keeping you ahead of the curve. All the insiders selling by some of the richest people on earth. With insight into the impact of US and global markets. That's where the recipe for inflation comes. From the people you can trust. That's absent problem with this. Fox Business, America's Business Network. All right, the Biden administration doesn't seem to be too worried about the threat of recession. The voters, however, have a different view. Our own Hillary Vaughn live at the White House to tell us more. Hillary, what you got? Hi, Larry. Well, today the White House was asked whether or not they think the market nosedive on Monday was just a blip. But we didn't get a straight answer from them. Either way, they don't seem too bothered by it because of the word of the day here at the White House when talking about the economy has been resilient. Our broader economy remains resilient. And what we've seen recently is consumers remain resilient. But we believe that the economy remains resilient. I would say the economy remains resilient. We believe the US economy remains resilient. But resilient might not be the word that Americans would use who saw their retirement accounts plummet. Vice presidential candidate Senator JD Vance is calling out vice president Kamala Harris's economic policy saying she was the deciding vote that pushed through historically high spending fueling inflation we're seeing today. She cast the deciding vote for the so-called inflation reduction act that sent a lot of our resources to China and sent interest rates through the roof. She cast the deciding vote for the very policies that made groceries and gas and housing less affordable for American citizens. And I think it's very simple. Today, Vice President Harris has been campaigning on what she wants to do as president promising that she will fix all of this if she's in charge. When I am president, it will be a day one priority to fight to bring down prices, strengthening our economy and building up the middle class, will be a defining goal of my presidency. But that could have been a defining point of her vice presidency right now, Larry. We've been told all along that the Biden Harris's administration's number one priority has been tackling inflation. They've had about three and a half years to get it done. Larry, I just kind of crushed Vice President Harris is not using binomics. Whatever happens with binomics? She had in the past been on the trail talking about binomics very joyfully and happily back when that was what the White House was going with. In fact, Larry, if I had been called on on today's press briefing, I wanted to ask if binomics is the same thing as Harrisonomics, but we weren't called on so until I get called on, I guess we're not really going to know what Harris's economic policies are and if they're exactly the same as president Biden's. Come on, binomics. Come on, binomics. Hillary Vaughn, fabulous stuff. Gotta ring to it. All right, Bill Fox soon. Joining me now to talk about all this, the Forbes Forbes media chairman and editor-in-chief and Liz Peek syndicated columnist and Fox News contributor. So apart from Kamala Nomics versus binomics, here, I will pause it. Start with you, Liz. There's a lot of lousy economic news. I'm not going to say we're in a recession yet. I will say there's a threat of recession. I call it the front end of recession, whatever. People are worried about it. Now, I don't see between the Vice President and her new running mate, a single growth-oriented policy on energy, on taxes, on regulations, on student debt entitlements, on spending, on the U.S. dollar. I don't say anything remotely about growth. And I think that's a problem and it's a big opening for the Trump Ants ticket. Well, yes, because in fact, they have no economic policies so far. I mean, when you go to the website, as I'm sure you know, you get an advertisement, which is asking you to donate money to the campaign. There's nothing at all about any issues. I mean, I don't think she can just skate on the surface here all the way through the election. I think at some point in her rally last night, she talked about, "You want to make housing more affordable? Housing is more unaffordable than it has ever been. I think in the history of the country, she's been there three and a half years. What's she done about it? What has anyone done about it in the Harris-Biden White House?" Which I think is fair to say now because it seems to me now she's actually running the country. But in terms of your broader question, they have never owned up to the idea, or even suggested at all, that maybe cutting back on spending or not spending two trillion dollars a year more than we actually bring into the federal government has been a problem and caused inflation. So, Larry, they're never going to turn tail on this. They don't believe it. Believe it. They don't believe it. That's their agenda. How she's going to fix the economy. That's what she said. Steve, wait, hang on a second. JD Vance is our newest recruit. He's coming along quite nicely. Take a listen to what he told me in a phone or interview last night. We took in more revenue because the government got out of the way on the regulatory side, and the tax cuts spurred a lot of growth, which meant more people working, which meant more economic production, which meant the entire economy was healthier, which Kamala Harris has been awful on the regulatory environment. But possibly the worst way, Larry has been on energy, right? They're trying to drive American energy out of business with their regulations. Now, I would posit those two short paragraphs could win you an election. Well, you've been a very good teacher, Larry. Very persistent one, and student Vance has taken it to heart. He's taken up his game, I know. And that's a good thing, especially when he's going to have a debate. I think Donald Trump's going to have a debate, and that's the issue you hammer. Are you better off today than you were when Donald Trump is president? Case closed. And this thing, I love Harris saying, oh, I'm going to tackle inflation day one. Why don't you do it now? Yeah, why wait? I don't know what it means. Actually, it's a tricky business because, I mean, we're talking money and politics here. I remember Barack Obama with the same kind of idea. He would give you the conclusion, but he wouldn't give you the how to do it. I actually remember Bill Clinton. He said, I feel your pain, but then in his first term, he raised taxes across the board in the economies of shambles. Then he got whooped in Congress, and he changed his view. So this has been tried before. I'm just saying, be careful what you wish for. But I think Trump and Vance, Trump's in good on growth. That's not the problem. He has an occasional detour, but basically pretty good. Vance getting better and better. I think that's a big plus. I do too. And I wish they would spend more time talking about regulation. Donald Trump was so powerful in rolling back regulation, not just remember, and that was in the wake of Obama being president, who ladled on to the economy more red tape than ever had had happened before. It was costing thousands, tens of thousands of dollars for the American family and millions for every business. That's something I think that everybody understands. Everyone hates all that red tape, particularly small business owners. And people, small business owners always talk to me about how Trump made their life easier. And this crew has made their life more difficult. And by the way, I think in Minnesota, if we're interested in what Tim Walsh has to say about it, taxes are very, very high. And I think regulatory changes have been a feature of his membership, too. We're going to get people are fleeing Minnesota left and right. We're going to get to that later in the show. Steve Forbes, I don't know. Do you think we're in a recession or not? Do you think the Fed should have these emergency rate cuts that people are talking about? It just says they're in a panic, and they blew it yet again. And as you've emphasized rightly, let's not worry so much about interest rates, let the markets do that, and to get to the Fed, say to the Fed, stop trashing the economy, stop trying to depress the economy. That's not what causes inflation. Spending what the Federal Reserve does in terms of financing debt causes inflation. And that's the way you go. And Trump should go out on the trail and hit home on things like the Social Security Tax. Now he got beaten up by it. But say, if you want to work, you shouldn't be punished for it. We need your experience. We have. You're senior. You can bring something to the table. I don't know what pride I have enough time. We have a clip on it. He was very good. I think this morning on Fox and Friends, he mentioned Social Security, tax relief, and he mentioned no tax on tips. And after all, the big, the grand, look, JD Vance sounded like Steve Forbes and Arthur Laffer curve. That's what he was saying. Revenant tax rates went down. And encouraging work. I mean, he did actually raise that issue that Democrats are always trying to suppress work. That really is not good for the economy. And on regulation, go out and talk to real people. Yes. Small businesses that kind of crap they have to put up with. So people see it. Stories work. Barbershops. Don't just say, "Our regulations are bad." Here's how it's bad. Here's how it's costing you. Yeah, 100%. All right. We're going to go for it. Liz Peake, Steve Forbes. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Coming up, folks. Pure appeasement, that seems to be the Biden-Harris plan to deal with Iran. If I'm wrong, I'd happily be wrong. That's what I'm hearing. Anyway, we will talk about it with Senator Joni Ernst. Next up on "Cudlow," please stick around. The Bottom Line with Dagan 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 Dagan and Duffy on Fox Business, invested in you. Whether it's commercial, private, military, or corporate planes, aircraft mechanics are crucial for safe flights. But there's just not enough of them to go around right now. Some of the students at this school's program are hoping to fill that gap. I kind of think of myself as an airplane doctor. When I was younger, there was a program called Operation Purple, where they would send military kids to a summer camp for a week. Army National Guard came in one year and they brought a Black Hawk helicopter, a little eight-year-old me, nine-year-old me. It was like, "That's the coolest thing ever." Anne Haggson and Justin Bosco love all kinds of aircraft. They're two of 12 students about to graduate from the Aviation Maintenance Technology Program at Southwestern Illinois College. It's really interesting. Every day is different. The money you can't really complain with, especially with, you know, everyone retiring. Those retirements are helping to drive the shortage of mechanics. We had the baby boomer generation, and that's what filled the workforce, and now they're all retiring. So this is, you know, the next large wave, as it were, all the people now need to start filling in all the spots that are being vacated by people who are retiring or at that age. A recent report expects the aviation industry to have a shortage of 12,000 to 18,000 technicians this year, and that number is projected to grow. They don't have enough mechanics, they can't produce certain amount of hours that, you know, inspection stakes, so they may have to downplanes or extend planes maintenance activities longer. Which could disrupt travel, but some commercial airlines like Delta don't anticipate issues. Delta says they're getting ahead of the shortage with a strong pipeline of workers through partnerships with schools and other recruiting efforts. In the meantime, these future mechanics are ready to get to work. I'm glad that their job's available, and I really hope that a lot of people join us so that we don't end up with, like, having to work overtime and being stressed out. Nearly one third of the current aircraft mechanic workforce is at or near retirement. In Granite City, Illinois, Madison Scarpino, Fox News. When you're in Canada, thank you for watching Fox on Rogers. For the latest headlines, check out foxnews.com. Keep it here. 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 fears will 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. The market's wild ride. With the latest volatility, Fox Business has you covered during every market hour. With up to the minute developments and critical insight on what it means for your money, must see coverage all this week on Fox Business. Invested in you. All right, Appeasement seems to be the Biden house plan deal with Iran. I'd love to be wrong, but that's what it seems like. Joining us now, Chair of the Senate Republican Policy Committee, Senator Joni Ernst from the great state of Iowa. Senator Ernst, you know, we have a sound yet from Lloyd Austin? Oh, yeah. Okay. So let me just say, I don't even know what the state of play is. I know, all right, let me, I want you to listen to this. Sec-deaf Lloyd Austin, this is so bizarre. Listen to what he said, please. Several U.S. service members were wounded yesterday in a rocket attack on Elisade Air Base in Western Iraq. So make no mistake. The United States will not tolerate attacks on our personnel in the region. Senator, Senator, Senator, I got to tell you, we all do respect to the Secretary of Defense. He's a distinguished military man. It's not personal. But what he just said is blarney. We have been attacked there before. We've had service people hurt and killed in these attacks, and the U.S. government has never done anything. So, ma'am, why should we believe anything the Secretary of Defense says? If you're running Iran, if you're a mower, why should you believe a word of it? Because they've never acted on it before. Larry, you're absolutely right. They won't believe us, and they shouldn't believe the Secretary of Defense, nor should they believe this administration. We have seen time and time again where U.S. service members have been killed, they have been maimed, they have been injured. And what has this administration done? Absolutely nothing about it. We saw the 13 that were killed in Abigay. We walked away from Afghanistan. We saw the three that were killed just this year at Tower 22 in Jordan. And what did we do? Nothing. We see those have been injured at al-Assad and other rocket attacks. What has been done? Nothing, Larry. It is all about appeasement. The United States appeasing Iran right now, and in turn, the terrorist proxies. We cannot forget that we had over 40 Americans killed on October 7th in Israel. We have eight that are being held hostage. What has this administration done about it? Absolutely nothing. And you won't hear him talk about it either. So do I believe Secretary Austin, absolutely not, we need a new administration. And that's Donald J. Trump. I mean, you know, basically the Israel is the IDF. They're telling the Moas, they're telling Hamas leaders, they're telling Hezbollah leaders, "I got your phone number and your home address, so you better be careful what you do." And then they hit them. They hit them. They take them out. How about that? They fight back. I mean, we've never seen the fight. Is that a war monger? Look, I would rather no foreign wars. Let's get out of this stuff. But we cannot let these countries, particularly in the Middle East, particularly because we have coddled and appeased Iran for so many years under the Biden administration, you can't take it anymore. Somebody's got to do something, or else just let the IDF do it and quit criticizing them. Right. Exactly, Larry. And this is why I've put forward my punish act as well. This act would require the administration to put maximum sanctions pressure upon Iran and not allow it to ease off and would not allow the United States to enter into another nuclear agreement with Iran until they have taken the hits off of former American officials. We know that Iran is plotting to assassinate Americans on our own soil. Yet what is the administration doing about it? Absolutely nothing. I mean, nothing, Larry. You know, and it's so disturbing because the world is on fire and we have absolutely no American leadership. No, you're right, man. I mean, those sanctions were embodied in a congressional mandate in the executive order by President Trump. They were in place. Those guys weren't produced in but 300,000 barrels of oil a day. They were bankrupt. They didn't afford to have anything. And now look, it's all changed and gone downhill. I mean, the economy is bad enough, but this foreign policy story is just awful. Anyway, Senator Joni Ernst, we thank you, man. I appreciate it very, very much. All right. All right, folks, turning to another story. This one's a weird story. The return of Zuckerberg's God. I thought we buried this story, but not so. Joining us now is Molly Hemingway, editor and chief of the Federalist, Fox News contributor Ned Ryan, CEO of American Majority. Molly, I mean, look, you were the one who pulled the plug on Zuckerberg's in the first place correctly. So now I'm reading that this committee, what's it called, the Center for Tech and Civic Life on and how much money they have. Maybe you can report on it. Zuckerberg's is back and my concern is maybe yours. Ned's is the by is the Trump advanced team. Are they concerned? Also, are they doing something about it, Molly Hemingway? Yeah, it's a very good question. A lot of people were excited when they heard that Mark Zuckerberg had decided not to finance this private takeover of government election offices like he did in 2020. But the two main groups he funded, which were Center for Tech and Civic Life and the Center for Election Innovation and Research, they kept going and they're financed by other left wing billionaires to still engage in this takeover of government election offices, primarily in the blue areas of swing states, in order to run these massive, get out the vote operations to help Democrats. Is this legal, just in short, is this legal in your judgment? It has not been properly litigated, so it's an open question about how, you know, and also different states have different rules on what to do here. But there is no question that they should be looked into because of how this privilege is left wing voting or Democrat voting. And I just want to point out, too, it's not just these two left wing groups, it's other groups as well, but also the Biden-Harris administration asked federal agencies to likewise get involved in targeting Democrat subgroups for voting. And that is probably a legal violating the hashtag. Ned Ryan, you listen to my, what do you think about this story? Because, look, they're, okay, so they're going to do what they're going to do. All right, Democratic criminals are going to go and do whatever they're going to do. The question we have is, what is the Republican defense? Because the stakes are very high. What do you think, Ned? Well, they better be litigating it already. I will say this, Larry, really quick. You asked is this illegal? I know for a fact, if Ned Ryan, of American majority, had attempted to do what they did in 2020, I probably wouldn't be talking to you because I would be in jail, running the nonprofit money into battleground states and to blue counties to boost the blue vote by sometimes a factor of 10 to one. And this is the one thing that I think is a total disgrace in this country that these folks at Center for Tech and Civic Life, all the Zuck box that went in, were not actually pursued and litigated correctly because they're on the proper side of many who resided at the DOJ and the state AGs and the DAs, whereas if a conservative had done that, I for sure would have faced severe consequences. My hope is that I know there is legal action being taken. The bright side of this, Larry, is that 28 states have outlawed Zuck box after the 2020 election. And I think the silver lining with what I saw in these grants, they put about 419 million into these battleground states in 2020. The grant levels I saw in this one were about two and a half million spread across 20 states. So not as significant, but I would echo what Molly said. If people want to have faith in their elections, the last thing we should be seeing is leftist groups trying to take over how our elections are conducted. Molly, real quick, story in the Washington Examiner today. Kamala Harris and her husband both donated to this group the legal aid, DC, some or other, that stands for defunding the police. Is that story accurate? And what do you think it means? Yeah, absolutely. We have this information that she and her husband are supporters of this group. It's not surprising at all because in 2020, when she was running for president, she was a supporter of defund the police. She famously posted that tweet asking people to help bail out the rioters in Minneapolis who were burning that city to the ground. And she just chose as her VP, someone who fully embraces that dangerous and deadly and damaging ideology, which cost billions of dollars in damage to America. And just that's the financial cost. It was actually just very bad for the body politic as well. So this is a good example of where she and her VP are aligned on left wing policy. A lot of Americans don't like that left wing policy and what it's done to our cities, what it's done to our police forces. And it goes with everything else to the economy, the border, foreign policy, et cetera. And Ned Ryan, last 30 seconds, last 30 seconds, you shedding any tears? Corey Bush, Congresswoman Corey Bush of St. Louis was defeated. She's the second quartet member to be defeated in primaries this year. 20 seconds, Ned. Give it hell. I think it's a positive sign that the squad continues to be diminished. But Larry, I don't think this is a rejection of leftists. I would say neo-Marxist policies. They have two neo-Marxists with Kamala Harris and Tim Walts at the top of the ticket. And I don't think that we could not have a clear, starker choice coming into the fall as literally neo-Marxism versus freedom. And I hope the American people choose wisely. All right, Molly Hemingway. Thank you, Ned Ryan. We appreciate it very much. Up next, House leader, House Republican leader Tim Walts. He's going to talk about Governor Walts policies trangling the Minnesota economy. Oh, my God. Numbers are very bad on this Minnesota economy. Tom Emmer, when Cutlow returns. I try to bring a positive perspective. People may call that naive, but I've got a pretty good track record. Kubuto coast to coast on Fox Business invested in you. So when a fire comes in, you can get logs and needles at the base of the tree, those burn, and they create an opening into the center of the tree. And future fires then expand that opening. And so you can end up with a tree this large that's actually completely hollow inside and is still alive and totally fine and can live that way for another 500 800 years. The 2020 blaze in the park, the castle fire, is estimated to be the worst since the late 1200s. Scientists know this because of the tree rings and char marks. So now with the suppression of fire for so long combined with the drought, now we have a situation where fire burns so intensely, it actually kills these sequoires. Park officials want to increase controlled or prescription burns and mechanical thinning of some of the groves. They say the forest is too dense and worry about future infernos and the destruction they may cause. These trees need fire, but it needs to be a small healthy fire. The castle fire cost over 100 million dollars to fight. Some trees are actually still smoldering a year later and the ecosystem here is changed because of the violent and vast scorch. We love these trees, we've protected almost all of them, we've spent a century building parks, visiting them, caring for them, and now they're burning up in high severity fire, even though they're one of the most fire adapted species on earth. So this is really a call to action for us as managers and for all of us as people who love nature to make a change. In Sequoia National Park, Robert Ray, Fox weather. Artificial intelligence potentially reshaping American agriculture, yes, the farms even, farmers are turning to automated equipment to get the job done. Madison Allworth with Fox Business is in Pembroke, Kentucky. She's got more. Hi, yeah. Hi, Madison. Hey, good morning, Dana. You know, farming agriculture, it's the backbone of the U.S. economy. But farmers, they're facing real struggles right now and agco thinks the future is autonomous vehicles. I showed you that tractor in the break and now you actually see it moving here. We have it moving up, driving all on its own, no driver inside. And this is their latest tech. This is their first piece of autonomous vehicles. What they're hoping is the value ad for farmers is that right now everything is up in cost, feed is up in cost, fertilizers up in cost, and they are facing severe labor shortages. And you can see it cut it real close, but right there, no collision. The big value ad being that they can have that all run without a person inside. One last person, they have to hire one last expense. So I want to bring in Brad Arnold with adco. So Brad, let's talk about this vehicle right here. What difference would that make when it gets on a farm? Because right now you guys are in R&D. We're not yet releasing it. But what's the hope there for farmers? You know, harvest season is a super stressful time for farmers. And they add a significant amount of labor to get through the harvest season. And so when we can actually take away the need to hire a complicated role or fill a complicated role in the grain car. It's a significant value to the farmer. And then when you think about autonomous vehicles, you think cars, you don't necessarily think tractors. So how are you attracting engineers and talent to a farm in Kentucky? Well, we actually started with all of this technology came from a company called JCA Technologies that we acquired about a year ago. And so since then, we've added dramatically to their team in Winnipeg. We've also started a tech hub, which is a great place to hire autonomous, autonomous engineers in Phoenix. And so we're actually able to attract a lot of autonomous engineers from automotive over into agriculture, because it's actually an industry that's got a significant purpose in producing food. So thank you so much, Brad. So that's their first piece. The hope is that by 2030, they will have an entire fleet of autonomous farm vehicles. All right, go to Tim Wallace's policy scene to be strangling Minnesota's economy. Joining me now, somebody who knows a little bit about Minnesota, Congressman and House Majority Whip, our friend Tom Emmer, this guy's a big taxor, by the way. He has the Minnesota, congratulations, Tom Emmer. Minnesota has the highest corporate tax in the United States. It has the third highest capital gains tax in the United States. Governor, Governor Walsh raised both taxes. He also raised the tax on international income coming into Minnesota businesses. And as it turns out, let's see, Minnesota has the highest, no, the sixth highest out migration of 200,000 earners or more, six highest out, you're right up there with New York and California and stuff like that. Well done, sir. I don't know that that's something we should be proud of. You know, Larry, you and I heard years ago about the tax and spend liberals. This is a tax and spend radical. This guy charged last year, the Minnesota taxpayers, $8 billion in new taxes and fees after he blew through $17.5 billion in surplus. We now rank 44th out of all the states in business tax climate because of his failed leadership. And it's, it's really put Minnesota on a crash course for a disaster. Yeah, you know, the other one, this is from the Tax Foundation, employment in Minnesota grew 0.0%, only 0.7%, ranked 42nd out of 50 states. And as I said, the national average is 1.6. So you're almost just about half the national average. So that's not cool. And it is a real tax and spend story in addition to all the crazy climate controls and climate mandate. So look, you know him. Well, I presume, what can we expect from Governor Walls on the campaign trail? Well, it's hard to believe that he could be even more to the left than the Kamala Harris, but he is. This is a left-wing radical who under his failed leadership, we've seen taxes skyrocket, our crime. My violent crime, Larry, in Minnesota is up. We've lost 20% of our police. Minnesota families aren't better off. So what are you going to see on the campaign trail? You're going to have one of the most stark choices ever. On one side, you're going to have the broken economy, people that don't want to listen to Main Street, they want to tell us that what we're seeing with inflation and with the cost of doing business, it's just they've done us all kinds of good. People are smarter than that. You can live with open borders and crime on the streets and all these fires around the world or you can have Donald Trump who already proved to us once what a prosperous economy looks like for everyone who proved to us how safe and secure you can be in your community when you have a sealed southern border and who made sure that there was peace and stability around the globe. Pretty easy choice. But this Governor Wallace is a chap who said not so long ago with respect to the open borders that he wanted to buy ladders so the illegals could climb over the border and get into the U.S. And we know he's opposed to fracking and everything to do with he's opposed to the you know he's in favor of the war on fossil fuels and he's a tax on the spin. I mean I just got 10 seconds but you know he invested home and it looks like the home folks are leaving Minnesota. Oh no. Now and this is the thing. He was elected by Minneapolis Liberals and finally he may be exposed by the American public for who he really is and it should be a good good election for Donald Trump and J.D. Vance. All right, how swept Congressman Tom Emmer. Thank you sir. We appreciate it Tom as always. I'll be right back markets continue to rebound from Monday's global sell-off that fueled recession fears. The Dow closing nearly 300 points higher on Tuesday. But honestly what's wrong with the little summer blow off. I think this is all overblown. I think money was an opportunity to buy. Well 11 of the S&P 500 sectors ending higher on Tuesday with tech leading the charge. Microsoft is firing back at Delta Airlines for the day's long recovery. It had on the heels of the global cyber outage last month. Microsoft says the airline's own outdated technology was likely the reason for its problems. A lawyer from Microsoft says Delta's claims that exposure to Microsoft and cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike was at the root of the problem are false and damaging to Microsoft's reputation and White Castle slashing the price of its fame sliders to the lowest level and more than a decade. The chain rolling on a 799 promotion for 10 cheese sliders which haven't been that cheap since 2011. That's business. I'm C.J. Poppa. [Music] 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, resist 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 and Siri, Fox News.
