Larry Kudlow examines quite a few lies pontificated by the Biden-Harris administration.
Extra lies and smears from Biden-Harris. That is the topic of “The Riff.”
Out of respect for the workplace of the president — and I’ve served two of them — it provides me no pleasure to make this case: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have constantly lied greater than any administration I can consider.
In recent times, I’ve tried to explain this as cognitive dissonance, or “untruths.” However the plain actuality is that they preserve mendacity.
BIDEN-HARRIS MEDICARE CUTS ARE HARMING SENIORS WITH COVERAGE LOSSES, PREMIUM HIKES: FORMER CONGRESSWOMAN
Simply yesterday, for instance, President Biden and his press secretary tried to lie their method out of “the one rubbish I see floating out there may be his supporters.”
The press workplace tried to fudge the quote by sticking in an apostrophe after supporters, to counsel that he was solely referring to a comic, quite than the 80-something million individuals who have voted for Donald Trump.
However you’ll be able to’t get away with lies like this within the Info Age.
The official White Home stenographers instantly objected to the phony enhancing of the official transcript that may, sooner or later, make its option to the Nationwide Archives. The supervisor of stenographers referred to as it “a breach of protocol and spoliation of transcript integrity between the Stenography and Press Places of work.”
Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders discusses the ultimate days of the 2024 presidential race on ‘Kudlow.’
Effectively, I might say principally it is a spoliation of Mr. Biden’s integrity. There he goes once more.
The opposite huge lie yesterday got here from billionaire Kamala surrogate Mark Cuban, saying: “You by no means see Trump round sturdy, clever girls, ever” – a silly lie from Cuban, however to this point neither Biden nor Harris have disagreed with him.
You recognize who does disagree with him? Sarah Sanders, Susie Wiles, Kellyanne Conway, Kayleigh McEnany, Brooke Rollins, Mercy Schlapp, Linda McMahon, Elise Stefanik, Joni Ernst, Judith Pond Kudlow, and an entire countless record of sturdy and clever girls working with Trump that may be method too lengthy for this riff.
However let’s transfer on to at this time’s dismal jobs report, the worst in three years, the place non-public sector jobs fell 102,000, and the previous two months had been revised down by 112,000 (keep in mind the prior evaporation of 818,000 jobs?).
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., examines the newest jobs report and discusses Vice President Harris’ marketing campaign technique on ‘Kudlow.’
The one actual will increase got here from 91,000 authorities and government-adjacent jobs. There are 13 million unemployed or underemployed, and, over the previous twelve months, native-born employees have misplaced almost 800,000 jobs whereas foreign-born employees gained over one million.
And, whereas manufacturing jobs proceed their downturn, the ISM manufacturing index stays in recession.
This all brings to thoughts one other lie, that 16 million jobs had been created throughout the Biden-Harris administration. Kamala has repeated this 100 occasions, nevertheless it’s not true.
Taking out the COVID bounceback jobs, they created 6.7 million – about the identical quantity because the Trump administration, pre-COVID.
A associated lie is that they created 800,000 manufacturing jobs. However, taking out the bounceback impact, it is solely 93,000 – method lower than Trump’s 414,000 manufacturing jobs.

Within the Info Age, you simply cannot lie about these numbers. All people has entry to the identical authorities statistics.
And that brings to thoughts the lie that, when Biden-Harris took over in 2021, they inherited a ‘reeling,’ depression-like financial system. Merely unfaithful.
Trump gave them a V-shaped COVID restoration. Within the third quarter of 2020, the financial system rebounded by 35%, adopted by 4.5% in This fall, and 5.5% within the first quarter of 2021.
Then Biden-Harris issued one other lie – that they inherited a serious inflation charge.
Fully unfaithful. Trump handed over a 1.4% inflation charge.
Again and again, Biden-Harris argued that they had been decreasing the federal price range deficit. They made this case time and again.
However that’s one other lie, with price range deficits really working $2 trillion so far as the attention can see, based on the CBO baseline.
Once more, why lie when bizarre people can dial up their computer systems and get the true numbers?
Then, they lied about billionaires solely paying an 8% tax charge, however they base this on a legislation to tax unrealized capital positive factors that was by no means really handed by Congress.
In addition to the financial system, Kamala retains saying Trump would ban abortion nationwide.
However this can be a lie. Trump has rejected this concept at each alternative, saying it’s best dealt with by the states as per the Supreme Court docket’s Dobbs determination.
Then, Kamala argues Trump would prohibit entry to contraception and IVF. And that’s additionally fully false, as Trump has mentioned at nearly each marketing campaign cease.
Rep. Claudia Tenney, R-N.Y., argues the Kamala Harris is essentially the most ‘far-left’ presidential candidate america has ever had throughout an look on ‘The Huge Cash Present.’
Then, there’s the trash-talk determined lies from Kamala.
Trump is a fascist. He’s Hitler. He is racist. He was a Russian agent. He is a bigot, sexist, and on and on.
All of that is utter nonsense.
Former Trump OMB Director and Chief of Employees Mick Mulvaney has written that, in on a regular basis he spent with Trump, he by no means heard a single factor about Hitler.
I went to lots of of conferences within the Oval Workplace and elsewhere, and by no means heard something about Hitler.
The entire “risk to democracy” enterprise that Kamala continues to push is an outdated threadbare argument that has no foundation in actuality.
Keep in mind, it was the Biden-Harris Justice Division that weaponized lawfare towards Mr. Trump and tried to throw him in jail for 750 years. It has all failed on attraction.

Kamala is trash-talking and mudslinging to keep away from speaking about her failed document on the kitchen-table problems with excessive costs, falling actual wages, an affordability disaster for houses and vehicles, and on a regular basis requirements. And, in fact, the large border disaster and the crime wave that has adopted it. And the world on hearth in Afghanistan, Ukraine, and the Center East.
Kamala broke it. Mr. Trump intends to repair it.
However the gusher of lies from President Biden and Vice President Harris exhibits an infinite character defect that, from Day 1, has undermined their credibility and the belief of voters.
There are 4 days till the election. And that is “The Riff.”
