    Kudlow presents a data-driven defense of the current administration, highlighting record-breaking stock market milestones and a robust labor market where wage growth is significantly outperforming inflation. Through interviews and panel discussions, the text frames the upcoming midterms as a referendum on this "prosperity rocket ship," while sharp critiques are directed at government agencies like the CBO for underestimating the nation's true growth potential. Beyond finance, the dialogue shifts toward a populist legislative agenda, specifically championing voter ID laws, the elimination of sanctuary cities, and a potential shift toward regime change in Iran.

  • Steve Moore and Liz Peek | 02-14-26
    Feb 14 2026
    Larry Kudlow and his guests argue that achieving 3.5% real GDP growth is the essential key to balancing the national debt and ensuring long-term prosperity. They critique the conservative estimates of the Congressional Budget Office and the Federal Reserve, asserting that these institutions fail to account for the massive economic potential of deregulation and productivity booms driven by artificial intelligence. The discussion emphasizes that a combination of low taxes and reduced regulatory costs will foster an environment of unlimited growth, effectively countering the redistributionist policies of political opponents. Finally, the group addresses internal administration shifts, celebrating a move toward free-market antitrust principles over populist interventions to ensure American corporate dominance remains unchallenged.

    Feb 14 2026
    Larry Kudlow and former National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien discuss a significant shift in American foreign policy toward Iran, noting that regime change is now openly being considered by the administration. They explore the President’s preference for a diplomatic deal that eliminates nuclear and missile threats, yet they emphasize that his patience is waning due to Iran's history of stalling and past aggression. To underscore this pressure, the speakers highlight a substantial military buildup in the region, featuring multiple aircraft carrier groups intended to provide overwhelming firepower and protect allies like Israel.

  • Joe Concha and Mark Simone | 02-14-26
    Feb 14 2026
    Larry Kudlow discusses several high-priority conservative policy goals with guests Joe Concha and Mark Simone, primarily focusing on the push for mandatory voter ID and proof of citizenship for the upcoming elections. The speakers frame the lack of identification requirements as a logical inconsistency, noting that photo IDs are required for daily activities like air travel and entering media buildings, while suggesting that public opinion across various demographics strongly supports these measures. The conversation then shifts to the defunding of sanctuary cities, where the participants argue that local non-compliance with ICE leads to increased crime and prevents the efficient deportation of criminal undocumented immigrants.

  • John Carney | 02-14-26
    Feb 14 2026
    Larry Kudlow and John Carney examine the unexpected decline in consumer prices, challenging the conventional wisdom that inflation only slows down rather than reverses. Carney highlights a detailed analysis of 71 specific goods and services that saw price drops in January 2026, noting significant year-over-year decreases in essential categories like eggs, fuel, and electronics. Beyond these statistics, the discussion serves as a rebuttal to critics of trade tariffs, specifically targeting a New York Fed study that claims domestic consumers bear the brunt of import taxes. Carney argues that these economic models are fundamentally flawed because they misinterpret internal bookkeeping between multinational subsidiaries as actual price increases for the public.

  • Jack Bouroudjian and Jim Lacamp | 02-14-26
    Feb 14 2026
    Larry Kudlow and investment experts Jack Bouroudjian and Jim Lacamp analyze a robust bull market characterized by shifting leadership and strong economic indicators. The participants argue that the economy is entering a period of significant productivity growth and high corporate earnings, which they believe justifies high stock valuations despite a recent drawdown in Bitcoin. Central to their optimistic outlook is the observation that wages are outpacing inflation, creating a favorable environment for consumer spending and further investment. The discussion also critiques current monetary policy, with the panel calling for the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates to avoid stifling the ongoing "miracle" of market expansion.

  • David Malpass | 02-14-26
    Feb 14 2026
    Larry Kudlow and David Malpass discuss the need for a fundamental shift in Federal Reserve policy following the anticipated appointment of Kevin Warsh. They argue that the central bank’s current reliance on backward-looking data and outdated economic models stifles national prosperity by failing to account for the power of innovation. Malpass suggests that by moving away from the "natural rate" of interest and embracing supply-side reforms like deregulation and tax cuts, the government can achieve rapid economic growth without triggering inflation.
