Here with reaction is the host of Kudlow on our sister network, the Fox Business Network. Our friend, Larry Kudlow, even the Washington Post reporter, you know, pretty much nailed it where, you know, saying that Bidenomics is now a negative word, Politico saying the panic in the Democratic Party should be about the economy, not about Joe and his age and his and his cognitive decline. I think it's all the above. I don't think it's working for the American people and I can use every measurable statistic imaginable to make that point, Larry. Well, I don't understand. I mean, the Bidens are incapable of telling the truth about this economy. So when the press secretary says she inherited a, quote, reeling economy, which is what the Bidens have said for three years, can I just remind Donald Trump handed them a six and a half percent economic growth rate in the first quarter of 2021 with a one and a half percent inflation rate? So I would say that was a pretty spectacular economy. And then when President Biden says, well, the turkey you bought for Thanksgiving was down, I don't understand that either compared to the Thanksgiving in 2020, which was Donald Trump's last in office, I mean, the American Farm Bureau, I'll just read you this stuff. I'm not making this up. The American Farm Bureau says Thanksgiving dinner was 41 percent higher than at the end of 2020. Turkey up 41 percent, ham up 97 percent, pumpkin pie up 31 percent, and potatoes up 34 percent. Sean, I want you to stay off those potatoes because they're too expensive for your waistline. So I don't know what she is talking about here. I mean, it's just they are incapable of telling the truth. That's the bottom line.

All right, former White House physician Congressman Ronnie Jackson has been sounding the alarm on Biden's rapid cognitive decline. He's now demanding the president take a cognitive test or drop out of the 2024 race. He joins us now. You know, more than anybody, you've taken care of three presidents in the course of your life. I would argue, in my opinion, it's the hardest job on the face of this earth. When I started talking about his, him being weak and frail and in a significant cognitive decline, I was attacked for saying it. But I think it's now pretty much common knowledge, and it seems to be getting worse. Isn't cognitive decline degenerative? It's something that's never going to get better. Doesn't it seem like it's every time now that he speaks? Well, absolutely, Shawnee, you're exactly right. You and I have been blowing this alarm for a long time now. It's no longer breaking news when I say that, you know, I tell the American people that there's something wrong with Joe Biden. Everyone can see that now. That's not in question anymore. It's what are the Democrats going to do about it? And you're right. The natural course of any of these illnesses, I don't know what it is. I don't know if it's Alzheimer's or dementia or multi-infarct dementia or what it is. I'm not making a diagnosis, but I'm saying he has a cognitive issue related to his age. The natural course of all of these illnesses are they get worse with time. They don't get better. And you know, Shawn, it's sad, but it's becoming a joke at this point. It really is. You know, I mean, the White House is nothing more than an assisted living facility right now. Well, it's a terrifying joke because the consequences are so great for our country. It's an embarrassment. It's a joke. It's scary. I mean, there's a lot of things that come, you know, these are real issues here. You know, look at what's going on right now domestically. I mean, what he's done to our country and he's not in control. He does not know what's going on and you know, we got crime in the streets. We've got our Southern border out of control, our economy, the process, you know, just the cost of living. Look overseas and we've got these wars that are breaking out. We've got the threat of terrorism. We have big issues right now that this country needs to be dealing with and we need a commander in chief and we need a head of state that's cognitively and physically fit to do the job and this man is absolutely not. I was thinking about earlier, Shawn, like I said, it's not a joke, but you know, when I worked at the White House for 14 years, you know, in the Bush administration, we passed out presidential M&Ms. In the Biden administration or in the Obama administration, we passed out presidential kisses. The Trump administration and the Reagan administration, it was presidential jelly beans. I'm assuming now that if you go up there, you get a presidential jello cup. I don't know what's going on, but it's just sad, Shawn, and it's very dangerous and we've got to do something about it and I think the big difference between when you and I first started talking about this and now is that the Democrats are in damage control right now. They are frantic. They realized that they've made this mistake. They've put this man in office and expected him to be our president for four years and he's not going to make it four years, I don't think, and he's certainly not going to make it another four years and now they're desperately trying to figure out what do they do about this. Well, I mean, and you could make a comparison. By the way, the media, for example, the USC Clemson game was this weekend. President Trump with Governor McMaster of, you know, they showed up especially at halftime. They went on, went out right to midfield. I mean, you could hear the crowd just, you know, raving for Trump, you know, and by the way, this, the media defines this as booing. Dr. Jackson, I've interviewed President Trump extensively for hours at a time and I can tell you he is as sharp now as he was when I knew him 30 years ago. There's no decline, zero. He makes one little mistake. The media goes insane. We have about 20 seconds. Shawn, he's incredibly sharp. He's got a better memory than I have, than you have. We all know this. You know, let's just start with the fact that President Biden could not walk out on that field, much less go out there and get a roaring applause like President Trump did. So we've got big issues.

Remember her? Huh? Who is it? Who is it? Right? Monica Lewinsky, it has been a long time. She's been on my mind, though, all right? I'll get to why in a moment. Where is she? What is she doing? She lives in New York. She gives speeches about getting bullied. And you know what? I do think she was something of a victim. And also, well, she made really bad decisions. She was an adult when she, well, did what she did with Bill Clinton in the Oval Office and the rest. She made a big price for that mistake, right? But I think of her today because of her lawyer, a guy named Ginsburg, William Ginsburg. He's the guy in the bow tie next to Monica. Now, why am I thinking about him? Well, he was such a crazy media hog. It brings to mind more recent media hogs. But when he did this, he was on all five major talk shows, and one day he made history. They still call it the full Ginsburg. Does it influence you, affect you in any way, to know that the fate of the country, the fate of Bill Clinton, is in effect in your hands and in Monica Lewinsky's hands? In addition to the fact that I don't believe that the government of the United States in Monica Lewinsky's hands or in my hands, short of that, you betcha it scares me. It scares me that my country could be in this kind of a crisis. I'm not political, but I am a citizen of this country, and I do respect the presidency. All right. Seems like a very dignified thing to say, but he wasn't dignified. He was going on every single show in one day, Face the Nation, Meet the Press, This Week, Late Edition, Sunday Fox News. Nobody had ever seen a thing like that, and it was universally panned. This guy's a ham, and he's jeopardizing his client. Major experts at the time, legal experts and others, said that this was dangerously flawed. They went on to say that, Mr. Ginsburg, I have to tell you, I cannot figure out what the strategy is, says Bill Taylor, one of Washington's leading white-collar criminal defense attorneys. Next, please. In the first place, negotiations between the defense lawyer and the prosecutor are always best conducted privately. Makes sense. The opportunity for misunderstanding based on comments to the media is very high. Also makes perfect sense, doesn't it? And I can't see the benefit to his client. I think it is an unconventional approach to negotiating in a case of this importance. That all makes total sense to me, yet the full Ginsburg going on all the talk shows, they love to do it now, even people with big sensitive jobs who really shouldn't be saying all that much in public, like the national security adviser, Jake Sullivan. Yesterday, he was out in force, and he doesn't have to be. You know, they have a podium at the White House. He could go out there, and everybody would listen to him and write down, but no, instead, he insisted on going four, on four of the top five talk shows. Meet the press. There he is. What's that show? Oh, yeah, this week with sometimes George Stephanopoulos, sometimes John Karl. And it goes on like this, Face the Nation. There he is on the big TV. And State of the Union on CNN. And what was he saying on these shows? Well, next to nothing, really. We have reason to believe one of those Americans will be released today, but until we actually see her safe and sound out of Gaza, we cannot have 100 percent certainty that it will happen. We have not gotten proof of life on any of them, and we do not know for certain that all three of them are still alive. That being said, we do believe, we are hopeful, that there will be additional Americans released. He's always, you know, look, it's a sensitive issue. So he can't say too much, but why say anything at all? It's in his interests, not in our interests, okay? Now, number one, he knows he's not going to get any tough questions on any of these shows. They never ask him about what happened in Afghanistan, and that is on him. He was one of the key decision-makers. Can you imagine that? One of the biggest mistakes in American history, and he gets off scot-free. What about our border, our southern border? Never comes up? It's like they have an understanding. That's part of our national security. I would say these unvetted individuals are a threat to our national security. What about anti-Semitism? You know, I kept hearing about white supremacy and what a threat that was to national security. What about anti-Semitism? I think it's right up there. Anyway, this is a commercial for him and his interests. That's what it's all about. We are pleased, by the way, to see that the hostages are released, some of them, that little girl. But think about it for a moment. What does it say about the barbarians of Hamas, right? That they would take small children as hostages to begin with. It is totally inconceivable, but it's actually happening. And the idea that some Americans are rooting for the terrorists is disgusting. Then again, we are getting all kinds of mixed messages from Joe Biden, who refuses to take on anti-Semitism in any serious way, and seems, well, once again, trying to claim credit that doesn't belong to him. Let me back up. I cannot prove what I'm about to say. But I believe one of the reasons why Hamas struck when they did was they knew that I was working very closely with the Saudis and others in the region to bring peace to the region by having recognition of Israel and Israel's right to exist. Well, he can't prove it because it's false. He had nothing to do with it. That was a Trump administration accomplishment, the Abraham Accords. However, they did invade Hamas, I believe, because of Joe Biden, because of his weakness, his weakness, a signal to the world that you can get away with stuff that you've always wanted to get away with, the invasion of Ukraine. Yeah, this terrorist attack, the worst that we've seen against Jews since the Holocaust. Where have we seen, say, Hezbollah, Iran, Islamic fascists get carried away before? Jimmy Carter, 444 days, hour hostages in captivity under Jimmy Carter. Now, the moment they were released was the moment that Ronald Reagan became president. You think that's a coincidence? Ronald Reagan becomes president and the hostages come home. I know all that stuff about the October surprise and the negotiation. Don't worry about that. They were afraid of Reagan and what he might do. They're not afraid of, well, Joe Biden, and they certainly weren't afraid of Jimmy Carter. Remember that guy? As you know, there is a growing disrespect for government and for churches and for schools, the news media and other institutions. This is not a message of happiness or reassurance. But it is the truth and it is a warning. All right. Hmm. Some of that stuff you had a point about. It doesn't matter. He conveyed weakness. We all know it. And the Russians saw it. And you know who was advising it back then, believe it or not? Jimmy Carter was talking to Joe Biden. Hard to believe, but, yeah, Joe Biden was a United States senator back then showing Jimmy Carter the ways of Washington. This does not look like a good, healthy conversation, whatever's going on there. All right. If we had Donald Trump in, this wouldn't have happened in the first place. They'll like his fingernails. They'll take them out one by one. Why should I go? Why should I go? Tell me why I should go. I'm standing here. I'm an American. It's a free country. It's not like Egypt. Did you rape your daughter like Muhammad did? Hmm? Did you rape your daughter like Muhammad? I didn't speak English. You only speak English? I don't speak English. You don't speak English? Yes. All right. See, that just shows how ignorant you are, because your Muhammad was a rapist. It says in the hadith, in your holy book, you speak Arabic, the language of the Quran, the holy Quran that some people use as a toilet. Oh, boy. This guy is asking for trouble, and he got it. This is Islamophobia, right? You're not supposed to talk like this. It's not nice. It's very hateful. It's wrong. I don't know enough about Islam, quite frankly, to criticize it. It's not my religion, but I don't know enough about it to criticize it. This guy thinks he does. Let's go through who he is and what he did here. His name is Stuart Seldowitz, 64 years old. Now, why this made news? Well, the Islamophobic rant. And he was Obama's acting director for the National Security Council, South Asia Directorate. Okay. That may sound important, but I think he worked in the basement of the state department. Whatever. He's been charged two counts, two counts, fourth-degree hate crimes stalking one count, second-degree aggravated harassment. And they arrested the guy. They locked him up. They perp-walked him. And I actually have a problem with that. I don't like his views at all, but you're allowed to have them. You're allowed, unfortunately, to hate people. I mean, it's unfortunate that people hate people, but I guess to have love, you need to have hate, right? I don't think this is right. The government can't tell us what to think, even if we think bad things. Even if that guy thinks bad things and says bad things. We're not always going to be comfortable in this world. If we want to be comfortable, we should all stay in bed. That's wrong. This, in my opinion, is a thought crime, and his vile speech is protected speech by the First Amendment. We'll see what happens. Hey, everyone's coming down on this guy, and I get that with the criticism. Meanwhile, anti-Semitism is flourishing all over the place. You've seen the videos. It is getting totally out of hand. Jews are being cornered in libraries. A teacher here in New York City could not come out of the classroom because the students figured out that he had gone to a pro-Israel rally, and they were upset, and they were threatening him. They beat up a school safety officer. Joe Biden, where has he been on this? Remember how vocal he was on white supremacy, the myth, the phantom of white supremacy? Is he saying anything about anti-Semitism? No, he's just moping around and tucking it, pretending to be an ordinary guy. Now, why is he not speaking about anti-Semitism? Because, if you look closely, well, a lot of these anti-Semites are his base, right? Those who voted for him, young people, and yeah, I'll say a disproportionate of them seem to be, well, persons of color, right out of the BLM kind of handbook, right? Those, young college kids, often persons of color. There are a lot of persons of color, obviously, a lot of white people who are not anti-Semite, all right? But this is a thing, right? He does not want to antagonize, say, AOC, Rashid Tlaib, because those people support them and support Palestine and support Hamas. You can support Palestine. You can't support the terrorists. Fair enough? Fair enough. Now, to throw, well, a strange one into the mix, John and Cindy McCain, John McCain, of course, dead, Cindy McCain is alive and well and totally misemployed. You know she's the director of the World Food Program? Yeah. I'm surprised, as anybody. Take a look. We turn now to the executive director of the World Food Program, Cindy McCain, also part of the United Nations. Wow. World Food Program. Well, how did she get such a high profile gig when her experience is in beer distributorship? That's right. Her family, they're big in beer, and that's how she made her money, and that's how she, well, funneled money to McCain. McCain could not have gotten elected to Congress had he not been married to her. All right. So what is she doing there? Well, thank you for having me. First of all, the bottom line here is that we need to get more aid in, as has been said. We are looking at possibly being on the brink of famine in this region. This is something that's not only terrific, but it will spread. And with that comes disease and everything else that you can't imagine. All right. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I want everybody to have enough food. I just am totally puzzled that she's running that suspect organization. They've had a lot of problems, right? Why is she there? Why is she in the public eye? Why? She endorsed Joe Biden, huh? How about that, John McCain? Does it say something about John McCain? May he rest in peace that Cindy endorsed Joe Biden and now gets these big jobs? Well, it got me thinking about Cindy McCain. I thought I heard that name somewhere else in some other context, and I did. It hides in plain sight. Epstein was hiding in plain sight. We all knew about him. We all knew what he was doing. But we had no legal aspect that would go after him. They were afraid of him. For whatever reason, they were afraid of him. Wow. I did not know about Epstein Island. I knew he was a convicted sex offender. A lot of people blew that off. But she knew about -- that's wrong. That is wrong. Why didn't she do anything about it? But there she is getting TV time. Just like Jake Sullivan making the rounds, not saying much of anything, but incurring some risk, constant negotiations are going on. He could say the wrong thing. He takes that risk, and he goes on television. Why? To promote his own brand. Because just like before Joe Biden became president and after, Jake is going to be in business along with Tony. These two are some of the richest.
