Larry Kudlow: Kamala Harris didn't have any comeback to this

THAT'S IT FOR THE "CLAMAN COUNTDOWN". KUDLOW IS NEXT. LARRY: HELLO, FOLKS. WELCOME TO KUDLOW. I'M LARRY KUDLOW. SO DONALD TRUMP HAD MORE HAY MAKERS THAN YOU THINK. THAT'S THE SUBJECT OF THE RIFF. THE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE LAST NIGHT, DONALD TRUMP HAD SOME VERY SERIOUS HAY MAKERS ON POLICY, THAT KNOCKED KAMALA HARRIS FOR A LOOP. RIGHT AT THE TOP, MR. TRUMP GOT TAX CUT AND ECONOMIC GROWTH MESSAGE OUT. TAKE A LISTEN. >> EVERYBODY KNOWS I'M AN OPEN BOOK. EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT I'M GOING TO DO: CUT TAXES VERY SUBSTANTIALLY AND CREATE A GREAT ECONOMY LIKE I DID BEFORE. WE HAD THE GREATEST ECONOMY. WE HANDED THEM OVER A COUNTRY WHERE THE ECONOMY AND THE STOCK MARKET WAS HIGHER THAN IT WAS BEFORE THE PANDEMIC GAME IN. NOBODY HAS EVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. LARRY: THEN FOLLOWED UP ON ATTACK ON INFLATION. ROLL THE TAPE. >> I HAD NO INFLATION, VIRTUALLY NO INFLATION. THEY HAD THE HIGHEST INFLATION PERHAPS IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER SEEN A WORSE PERIOD OF TIME AND PEOPLE CAN'T GO OUT AND BUY CEREAL OR BACON OR EGGS OR ANYTHING ELSE. THE PEOPLE OF OUR COUNTRY ARE ABSOLUTELY DYING WITH WHAT THEY'VE DONE. THEY'VE DESTROYED THE ECONOMY. LARRY: TROUBLE IS THE ULTRA BIASED ABC MODERATORS ONLY HAD ONE QUESTION ON THE ECONOMY, WHICH IS THE NUMBER ONE ISSUE FOR THIS ELECTION. THAT WAS CLEARLY TO MR. TRUMP'S DISADVANTAGE AND HELPED KAMALA WHO REALLY HAS NO DEFENSE FOR THE FAILURE OF BIDENOMICS. SHE SUCCEEDED IN DISTRACTING MR0 ELECTION OUTCOME AND TRUMP POUNDED HER ON OPEN BORDER ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION KANSAS CITY CATASTROPHEAND HARD ON FOREIGN D THEIR FAILURE ON AFGHANISTAN, WHICH THEN LED TO THE RUSSIAN INVASION OF UKRAINE AND ISRAEL IN THE IRAN HAMAS WAR AND TRUMP WON BIG ON ALL THOSE POINTS. HE ALSO WON BIG ON THE CRIME ISSUE AND ON THE UNPOPULAR EV GREEN NEW DEAL CLIMATE CHANGE MISNAMED INFLATION REDUCT ACT ISSUE AND HIT ON ALL THAT AND FRANKLY SHE DIDN'T HAVE ANY COME BACK. THEN MR. TRUMP KNOCKED HER BACK ON BIDEN HARRIS JUDICIAL LAWFARE AND WEAPONIZATION WHEN SHE TRIED TO JUST CALL HIM A FELON. THEN MR. TRUMP WACKED HER ON UNTRUTHS WITH THINGS LIKE PROJECT 2025 AND IN VITRO FERTILIZATION, WHICH HE FAVORS AND SHE ACCUSED HIM OF SIGN AGO NATIONAL ABORTION BAN AND HE DENY IT HAD MANY, MANY TIMES AND DENIED IT AGAIN LAST NIGHT. MEANWHILE MR. TRUMP ASKED HER BLUNTLY IF SHE FAVORED ABORTIONS IN THE SEVEN, EIGHTH, OR NINTH MONTH AND SHE DID NOT ANSWER. SO A COUPLE OF NUMBERS WOULD HAVE GONE A LONG WAY. FOR EXAMPLE, MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME FOR FAMILIES UNDER BIDEN IS HARRIS HAVE NOT EVEN REACHED DONALD TRUMP'S 2019 LEVEL AND REAL INCOME VOTE FOR PEOPLE UNDER TRUMP WAS FIVE TIMES GREATER THAN UNDER TRUMP OR HARRIS AND PRE-PANDEMIC SPENDING AND UNDER TRUMP COMPARES TO NEARLY 26 PERT UNDER BIDEN AND THAT'S AN INFLATION PROBLEM. THAT'S EMPHASIZING THE WORD GROWTH AND THE GROWTH VISION AND KAMALA DOESN'T HAVE GROWTH IN HER VOTER CAB LAIR. IN ATTACKING UNFAIR TRADING PRACTICES AND WHY HIS TARIFFS WERE NEVER INFLATIONARY AND INDEED, BIDEN IS HARRIS ACTUALLY KEPT MOST OF HIS TARIFFS IN PLACE. BUT THEN I WISH HE HAD MENTIONED ELON MUSK AND THE EFFICIENCY COMMISSION TO ROOT OUT WASTEFUL INEFFICIENT AND CORRUPT SPENDING, MAYBE EVEN RIPPING INTO THE WHOLE DC SWAMP. I THINK ELON MUSK WOULD HAVE GONE A LONG WAY IN THAT DEBATE. AND HE SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED THE SUPPORT OF DEMOCRATS LIKE RFK JR. AND TULSI GABBARD. THAT WOULD HAVE RESINATED WELL. FOR SURE. MS. HARRIS WAS PREPARED AND OUTPERFORMED THE LOW BARS SET FOR HER. AS I SAID BEFORE MANY TIMES, MANY TIMES SHE'S NOT STUPID, SHE'S NOT A MORON ON ANY OF THAT. HOWEVER, THE SMUG FACIAL EXPRESSIONS AND ROLLING OF EYEBALLS DIDN'T DO HER ANY GOOD. MR. TRUMP HAD THE LAST WORD AND DELIVERED A CRUNCHING UPPER CUT WITH THIS. >> SHE'S BEEN HERE THREE AND A HALF YEARS AND THEY'VE HAD THREE AND A HALF YEARS TO FIX THE BORDER. THREE AND A HALF YEARS TO CREATE JOBS AND ALL THE THINS WE TALKED ABOUT. WHY HASN'T SHE DONE IT? LARRY: KAMALA HARRIS IS JOE BIDEN'S CO-PILOT FOR OVER THROE AND A HALF YEARS ON ISSUE AFTER ISSUE AND ECONOMY, BORDER, CRIME, INFLATION, FOREIGN POLICY. SHE COULD NOT GET THE JOB DONE. AND I THINK THAT'S WHY IT'S TIME FOR A CHANGE
