arch all around you a human made rainbow that includes everyone. when one approaches the arch and looks at it truly, you have a sense of awe as you look up and see that soaring stainless steel skin floating somehow magically in the air above you. it's truly an engineering marvel. one of the wonders of the world, in my opinion. of course, a giant arch like that was simply irresistible to daredevils. the faa had to warn pilots fly through the arch and you'll lose your license. so far, at least ten pilots couldn't resist. ten that we know of. larry: hello, folks. welcome to kudlow, i'm l arry kudlow. well biden's partisan prosecution day one of trump trial in new york city we'll

have jonathan turley on the story, anti-semitism shutting down our elite universities, and did you know it is earth day. nobody care, we'll talk about it with breitbart's john carney. >> biden's green new deal, climate bank atm, with north dakota governor. and alaska senator. about the end of anwar as we know it. but first, fox business lydia hu is the latest from the trump trial. what can you tell us. reporter: very busy here in lower manhattan. the criminal trial got started today with opening arguments brought by district attorney alvin bragg, prosecutor accuse trump of engaging in a criminal conspiracy with michael cohen and david pecker, former ceo of american media which published the "national enquirer," saying they

engaged cover-up. prior to 2016 election, trump and his lawyers say that trump is innocent. >> this is a biden witch-hunt to keep me off of the campaign trail. so far it is not working, my poll numbers are higher than they have been, the public understands that it is a witch-hunt. reporter: another familiar name you may recognize matthew colangelo, a former biden justice fmple w, who at one time investigated trump is now prosecuting alvin bragg's case against trump, he delivered opening arguments for prosecutor today. trump lawyers in civil fraud matter appeared in cour courthouse in the supreme court in front of judge

engoron. for weeks attorney general letitia james has been attacking the bond over questions about insurance company asking court to inval date it what teamed seemed to be a strange in strategy, attorney general office came to court willing to talk with trump lawyers on the bond issues. both sides came up with an agreement as follows. the bond of 175 million dollars will be stored in cash, not in mutual funds or securities. and the insurance company, knight insurances cannot trader move the money and maintain exclusive control. the account and provide machinery -- month li financial statements to attorney general office and the court. this means that trump's assets will remain protected from attorney general letitia james. as he appeals a -- pursues an appeal of a half billion

dollar fine, entered against him by judge engoron. david pecker, took the stand today in criminal case, that case continue tomorrow with pecker resumes stand and continuing his testimony tomorrow morning. >> you know, lydia hu on the knight's insurance, does anyone understand money i fungible, i am amused thank you. >> a couple thoughts, you have three big news stories at beginning of week, joe biden is on the wrong side of each one, by a lot. first, prosecutor opening statement in trump new york jury were made by the biden justice department former number three guy. matthew colangelo,

prosecuting i guess because alvin bragg can't, that shows you how involved biden white house and justice department are in this craze prosecution of donald trump, it was the justice department that passed on the prosecution. as did federal election commission, but biden is involved big time, also i ask, what is illegal about nondisclosure agreements, they are used all of the time, what is illegal about candidate trump running for president and yes, wait for it trying to influence the election. he would like to win it is called campaigning, there is something wrong with president biden trying to keep trump off of the campaign trail, interfering with the election. campaigning okay. interfering, not okay. plus mr. trump's gag order prohibits him from talking about michael cohen and stormy daniels but they are

oare always trashing him, there something wrong with that. net, net, strike one for joe biden. then comes anti-semitism campus rise at columbia and yale and elsewhere. sympathy is not the same as a justice department for fbi investigation and prosecution of anti-semitic hate crimes and hate speech, the elite colleges are guilty of both, university laws are being violated, classes have been canceled. but joe biden is principle defender of dei, diversity, equity and inclusion. and dei has been principle trigger behind the whole anti-semitic movement. until the university trustees are forced to change, they are not changing. joe biden could force change. but he won't. why?

there are main reasons, one is dearborn, michigan, so. the wave of anti-semitism on college campuses is strike two for joe biden. and the third news item this week is you got it. earth day. where is joe biden wants to spend 7 billion dollar on a climate change solar slush fund. this is just the latest installment of the biden green new deal climate bank atm . strike three for joe biden. why? because most folks don't care about earth day or climate change. a gallup survey released today, shows that 5 5% about inflation, 53% crime and violent, 48% illegal immigration. only 37% are concerned with the environment. a couple of weeks ago "wall street journal" headline read biden is spending 1 trillion dollars to fight climate change, voters don't

care. voters survey in 7 swing states showed immigration the most important 25%, economy 22, inflation 13, abortion 10 and climate change wait for it, 2. americans are far more worried about bidenflation and illegal immigrants than climate change, joining me now charlie hurt, mollie hemingway. they are both fox news contributors. mollie, this matthew colangelo, he was number 3 in justice department,ism what is he doing with the lead -- he is the lead prosecutor for the -- not alvin bragg, but this guy, who came up from washington.

what does it mean. >> people know that biden department of justice is going after president trump with their federal cases, they don't maybe realize hughow involved, biden doj officials and other top democrats are in all of the other lawfare that is run against number one republican, matthew colangelo is a great example of this, merrick garland number 3 in the different of justice. it is weird he is in new york prosecuting this case. people down just alvin bragg orphan fan or letit, fa fani willis or letitia james in some of the cases. larry: so, charlie we have other fish to try, hanging on mollie's point, this guy was a big shot at justice

department biden justice department, that department passed on this case in the first place. federal election commission passed, local district attorney, former manhattan da, vance, he passed and bragg pathed until he -- passed until he was pressured do it, can i connection dots from biden white house/council/justice department to this lawsuit? new york city is did -- does that make sense. >> without a doubt you could. and it is you know the fact that everyone passed on this case is move in law, as far as the law is concerned there is no case. only undemocrat, only they love to talk about how donald trump is a threat to democracy, he is a threat to democrats, he is the greatest threat to democrats they have, that is why they are pulling out all of the

stops, looking at whether it is going after his bond money, or you know all of the cases in general, it is all designed to hurt him. the reasons she -- does not want him to have access to that money is because she doesn't want t him to be able to make money on it she is also wants to hurt him financially and wants to humiliate him. what else is happening at the same time? democrats in congress are passing a law to take away anybody who is convicted of a felon to take away their secret service, they want to throw him in jail and not let him have secret service in jail, that is how sick these people are. whatever you think of donald trump, if you let democrats win this way, this is how they will run every election for the rest of our lives, and even if you don't like donald trump you should vote

for him to punish democrats for doing this. larry: i want to -- there a ditc difference between donald trump trying to influence the election, that is called campaigning. and joe biden doing the sins the omitted and committed sins that charlie referred to, that is interference, ili'll ask jonathan turley about this later, there is a difference between campaigning fo for office and interfering with the other guy a ability. >> in 2016, the claim here is doing a legal nondisclosure agreement he interfered with the election, let's think about what hillary clinton and democrat party did in 2016, they used a law firm to create russia collusion hoax, and funneled that money, and created a fake dossier, no one has been held accountable for it

because of that you see this current president using lawfare to interfere in an election in a way all that one worth so much money, and so much time, this keeping opponent off the campaign trail, keeping him from being able to raise money and campaign that is not how we do things in this country, we don't handle political differences with lawfare, yet what is that we're doing. >> another thing, is the fact we -- you hear people talk about the hatch act, we don't want to let politicians use government resources to go after political opponents, this entire operation is run and funded by tax payers, they are forcing taxpayers to foot the bill in all of these cases because donald trump is a threat to democrats. larry: i get it. i want to move on.

shuts down college campuses, dei, joe biden has taken to new heights. but, he has been the biggest backer of dei to me dei breeds anti-semitism, anti-semitism happened to the college campuses. this is a cultural issue, woke culturallism, and anti-semitism, they are shutting down campuses. i don't see joe biden's justice department doing what they should do, which is minimally, an fbi investigation and maybe more. i don't see them lifting one finger. tell me i'm wrong. >> yesterday the white house had an federal statement saying it was bad, but this afternoon, president biden came out and said there are good people to both sides of october 7. he is with the jewish students and with people who

support october 7 attack, that is what we were told donald trump did. which was not true. media were hysterical about it, this citizen natural result of -- this is the natural result of dei, you teach them that violent against the people is okay. >> charlie, we had fro professor dershowitz on time again, he leads this case, dei leads to anti-semitism. the bidens have the authority, mollie suggested, even they both sides are to blame or good i don't understand that. gibberish, but it is about dearborn, michigan, i think that is what that gibberish is about. but reality trustees of yale and penn and columbia and so forth, they have the authority. they can make a change. they don't, one reason they

don't make change is biden justice department will not pros cnot prosecute them for it. >> seems they never pay a price there are never consequences for the universitiers on the trustees,. larry: the boards of directors run the place. >> they are reading the same headlines we're reading, idea they don't take an active hand, maybe i will get punished or be shamed out of the public scar scare for con -- square for condoning this, molly is right, dei teaches hat hatred, it is how they operate. you divide everyone by race, creed, religion, gender whatever, then pit them again each other get them to hate each other and then democrats win eel, th

election eels and that is who dei does. this is the result of dei. larry: hate crime is forcing shut downs of the universities, not just speech, free speech, you can make some free speech argument, i wouldn't make it myself but i can see it legally, this is a crime, an action. columbia had shut down the classes, from what i gather yale did the same, berkeley i don't know. that has to be prosecuted. by the justice department. where is the fbi coming in now, and locking them down, taking witnesses getting after daaffidavits. >> columbia is asking for help from outside when they have so much power themselves if they would expel students for destroying everyone else's education alec per y educational experience, they have more power than they are willing to use. larry: i say 0 for 3.

we'll -- i'm saving best for last this is earth day, i will let john carney and governor of north dakota tear that apart, mollie hemingway, and charlie hurt thank you. >> thank you. larry: it is earth day, i have three word, drill, baby, drill. north dakota governor doug burgum next up on kudlow.

her uncle's unhappy. i'm sensing an underlying issue. it's t-mobile. it started when we tried to get him under a new plan. but they they unexpectedly unraveled their “price lock” guarantee. which has made him, a bit... unruly. you called yourself the “un-carrier”. you sing about “price lock” on those commercials. “the price lock, the price lock...” so, if you could change the price, change the name! it's not a lock, i know a lock.

so how can we undo the damage? we could all unsubscribe and switch to xfinity. their connection is unreal. and we could all un-experience this whole session. okay, that's uncalled for.

larry: don't want to forget today is earth day, jeff flock with more on the earth, how is the earth? reporter: happy heart earth day, larry, a beautiful day for solar here. that is the big news. you want president went to virginia to announce this solar for all plan. as you reported, 7 billion dollars to go to people who could not otherwise afford solar power, they will set it up for them, president said it will be about 900 thousand people. he said this is not a small deal. here how he put it. >> a big deal. this new solar for all

program. means 900,000 households, 900 thousand will have solar on rooftops for first time and soon, millions of families will save over 400 dollars a year in utility bills. reporter: note hard -- other big thing is the national petroleum reserve, shut down more of that to drilling exploration. you know national petroleum reserve in northwest alaska, president harding set that aside in 1920s for oil, but the president now, shutting part of that down it is worth noting he did last year approve that willo project. a conoco phillips drilling project, 180 thousand barrels a day that ticked

off the environmental crowd. all kinds of protests saying he sold them out, and paying them back with 10 million additional acres protected. he says, climate is important despite your numbers there. people do care about the climate. and the dog gone rone republicans don't get it. >> despite overwhelming devastation in red and blue states, there are still those who deny climate is in crisis, our maga republican friends don't think it is in crise, they don't want -- they actually' to repeal inflation reduction hand that -- for vast majority of the projects. reporter: larry,y would say -- he ticked off environmental crowd by irk proving willow, now close in producing crowd. i don't know about you, i have been through a number

of divorces in my life, when both sides feel they are getting screwed it is fair. this is must me. larry: i'm afraid those numbers down balance out. by a language shot, jeff flock thank you for your report, we bring in north dakota governor doug burgum. thank you very much. >> great to be with you. larry: i don't think that willowillow yes, anwar no is not remotely balanced. >> they are ridiculous because the idea that somehow the biden policies are saving the environment, the number one thing that is lowered co2 emissions worldwide is add vent of u.s. clean natural gas, if he really cared he would not put a ban on lng exports but headlines to build more plants and solar thing that we talked about. less than 4% of electricity

in theu u.s. comes from solar today. it is intermittent. 4% when the sun is shining. 78% of those solar panels are built in china, less than 2% are built in the u.s., this is a win for china when he throws 7 billion no solar panels and a preelection political payoff. these are going to people he hopes will vote for him, if he really cared about poor people and their electric bills, under his administration electricity is up 30%, he would be developing more u.s. energy if he cared. larry: this is just, this is a lot of this is just slush fund stuff, the government doling out money with no particular rhyme or reason. but under the general rhetoric of climate change. but the fact of the matter, there is no existential risk that has never been proven

except in political circles and some media circles. i think this is the immediacy that is a hoax, i am not delaying there are climate issues for next 50 or a hundred years, i am denying all this spending ahead of private investment market orienting investment, is just wrong, i say drill, baby, drill is the right policy. that is not an unlimited policy but it would bring down oil prices and bring down inflation. we have senator coming on later to talk about anwar. the green new deal climate bank atm is what we call it a great picture of it. this is what this is. this is vote buying, a green new deal, atm machine. >> 27 billion dollars worth. it is a preelection payoff.

and i if he really cared about the environment, you talk about expanding u.s. energy production you would want have development here, when biden does things like whether shutting down alaska or coming after texas or north dakota, it does not reduce demand, it just shifts the supply overseas, you know who is up 50% in oil production iran, and russia and venezuela, he is actually helping or adversaries they are funding the terrorism biden's energy policy combined with his weakness on national security leads to fact we have to increase funding for ukraine, taiwan and israel, the wars have literalry started because of his energy policy. larry: biden like to say, we produce more oil than before. which is not true, it got to 13. point million barrels a day, now back to i think 12.8, but the point to make

to you, you are an oil producing state. pre-pandemic we were at 13. 1 million barrels a day, we have moved in 4 or 5 years we should be 15 million a day, more. i think that reason for that is so much is the war against fossil fuels that bidens have conducted. we should be way higher than 13 million. >> absolutely. we should be higher. and fact that we're flat and will be declining while the rest of the world is up is an indication that his policies are helping our adversaries and hursting united states, crises that is coming is around electricity with the electricity, prices are up 30% urge joe biden, he eurch junder joe biden he is drives base load down, and prices will continue to go up and reliability will go down, if joe biden is

reelected we will have brownouts and blackouts all over. >> governor doug burgum great state of north dakota. >> thank you. larry: coming up it is earth day. so important. we're devoting another segment to it but vast majority of americans are far more worried about inflation and almost every other issue than climate change. we will talk about it with breitbart's john carney, i am kudlow, much more t

larry: joining us now breitbart's john carney. must read each day. john, earth day or not, it does know seem that most americans -- i mean this is barely a top 10 issue. in fact some polls not a top 10. >> americans don't care about the climate change because, it something that they are told will happen 50

or a hundred years from now by any realistic measure, but they are facing inflation right now and the border crisis right now, tonight breitbart business digest, i will call for a national inflation day, earth day is in past it started in 1970, everyone knows, they celebrated it in school. we need an inflation day, we can affect with policy american people need to stand up and turn out, i say we have it in june, we had inflation peak under biden, we could get together and say, no more inflation, national inflation day. let's bring it on. larry: the "wall street journal" poll this swing states, immigration 25%. economy 22%. inflation 13%. you could put those two together. >> that is 25. larry: abortion is 10,

climate change wait for it, 2. >> 2%, right. larry: you cited in your breitbart today, the gallup poll environment 37%, you got inflation, crime, violence, immigration, everything e el is above 50. >> a big problem for the democrats. the issues that biden wants to campaign on, we saw him today, on the green new deal, but americans are rejecting that, they say, we need to do something about anonymouses in, his proposals are -- inflation, his proposals are all inflationary, you crackdown on fossil fuel that drives prices up, you pour money in demand for chinese solar panels that will drive inflation up. everything he is doing is inflationary. don't drive prices up further. larry: let me switch gears. hold your breath for a

moment outside of earth day, a person story on bright bart imf -- breitbart, imf official, joe biden's open border is hurting americans' wages, this is the imf, they have a million economists there. sometimes they are right, sometimes they are wrong. this is a very establishment operation, they are saying what a lot of people are saying, that the open borders have damaged real wages, taken jobs away from plate of-born americans. >> i love this, decade we were told, no immigrants are not competing with natives for wages, but now we have an inflation problem, they say immigrants will solve an inflation problem that is wrong. i don't believe it because americans are living too well, it is because the government is living too well. i stole that quote from

ronald reagan it is still true today, not because wages are too high or workers are getting paid too much but joe biden running deficits at world war ii level deficits financial crisis level, when we're not in a crisis, we have very little unemployment today, we should not be running those deficits, when they say yes, they are admitting that all of these immigrants are hurting native wages, they are. larry: probably 2 trillion dollar deficit against this year. you getgoe get -- gdp out thursday, hot lana said 2.9%. >> remember just a few months ago everyone said that economy would slowdown and fed would need to cut, we know that fed is not cutting as we have been saying. >> for a long time. >> never in our lifetime. the economy is growing, and it is going to continue to grow, there is, as long as

unemployment remains very low people will keep spending that will continue to grow the economy, there is no reason for federal reserve to cut rates they are not going to. i am glad that the market has finally come to that point of view, i was worried when everyone wasis exuberant about the fed cuts. we need to solve inflation problem and get control of our borders, that is what the polls are telling us, they should tell the biden administration but that i want to talk about earth day. larry: alas, john carney, breitbart, we may see you later in the week thank you. larry: to biden's partisan prosecution on day one in trump trial. great jonathan turley, george washington university law school, thank you for giving us some help on this. we talked in the show, i

want to get your take. this fellow matthew colangelo surfaces as i guess lead prosecutor in this alvin bragg case. he had a big, big job in the biden justice department, merrick garland justice diagram, department, he left it to run this prosecution. what do you make of that? what should we learn from that? why is in senior biden guy coming down to make arguments for bragg that bragg should make for himself. >> this is a fascinating optics issue, you would think they would am to avoid. you have a case where the breadth s predecessor of bragg said i am not prosecuting this because i don't believe in it, alvin bragg did not want to do it but he was pressured to do it he gets someone from

biden justice department to be his lead prosecutor, the optics are not good, they also don't seem to matter in new york. bragg is betting everything on having a new york jury, a new york audience, and this just does not bother them. this idea that you know this is a case that none of us have seen the likes of. a theory that few of us can understand, they can't get beyond the fact that the defendant is donald trump that is all you need in new york for many voters. larry: it just suggests, jonathan, either rightly or wrongly, there is a biden involvement in this trial. as you know, mr. trump is furious. because they are holding him in toe in in courtroom instead of out there on the campaign trail where he belongs. for the rest of the country does it look leak j like joe biden is involved in

this trial in ways and means he should not be? >> well, that is the fascinating aspect of how politic of law are merging. this is a split screen election. we would have trump in one court after being just in another, you know taken from courthouse to courthouse, now we have one split screen with president campaigning and president -- the former president is caged up in new york, i don't think that american people like it outside of new york this is not playing well. the majority of -- you have about 35% who believe there is a crime here, that is not a particularly high number given inthe stage of this prosecution, usually by this point, people assume the worst. i think that is playing out in the country, people view this, i believe it is the weaponization of the criminal justice system.

larry: john -- i was going to ask you, on this question. the nondisclosure agreement, that is at the heart of this, people call it hush money, it is nondisclosure agreement. i think it is used frequently. is there -- what illegal about that? >> it is not illegal, what is wacky about this, even after opening arguments, many of us are stale debating what the crime was that trump was trying to conceal. you know even you know liberal legal analysts on other networks have panned this case, this is all premised on this idea there was a federal election violation. the department of justice rejected that. they didn't see that here. most people that are in this area believe there is not a crime involved on will for the side -- on federal side this is a pa 10 -- village

put up, they said, someone else designated this as legal expense. this is what the hillary clinton people did. after denying they funded. the steel dossier, they did and counted it as legal expense, they litigated that issue to avoid a fine, comment say -- they kept saying we view if as a legal ebbs fence, yebbs pence, you ha-- expense. you had people who supported them in that are having vapors now. larry: key point jonathan turley thank you we appreciate it. >> thank you, larry. >> last one coming up joe biden is helping iran while hurting alaska and the rest of the united states we'll

talk about it with senator dan sullivan, ending anwar, dumb, dumb, dumb estimate i am kudlow, we'll be right back.

larry: senator dan sullivan

of alaska writes, "wall street journal" biden helps iran and hits alaska, he is joining us now, freight op-ed piece, this helps access of evil. this hurts the u.s., and almost every day, shape or form you add to do one that i was not aware of, issue of rare earth ambler mining district is out of play. anyway, senator, in your priorities which is the worst? >> larry they are all horrible and they are lawless, the president has no authority to do this, this hurts my constituents but this hurts america, natural resources is one of our great strengths particularly against the dictatorships we have plenty of oil in alaska, incredible critical minerals, right now the president is more

focused on sanctioning alaska and alask alaskans than the iq the irk the is - terrorists in iran. this is am bli amler mining district, they said they will shut it town, this does not make sense, it only helps dictators and pleases biden's far left, everyone else in america and allies are undermined. larry: i thought that president trump or congress had opened up anwar. what gives biden the authority to close it down? sincer >> he has no authority. you and i work together with president trump that legislation was in 2017 tax

cuts and jobs act, it mandated 2 lease sales in anwar, we got one done at trump administration biden said we'll cancel it, but friday, this was is the national petroleum reserve of alaska. set aside over 100 years ago by congress for oil and gas development they took 13 million acres off of the table. layery this is one of the most prolific oil and gas basins in the country. one other thing, you know, we have highest environmental standards in the world in alaska for oil and gas development for mining, all this does is outsource production to dirtier countries who happen to be sa adversaries of our, and heck with iran they

are using their oil revenue are in terrorism, this is a lose-lose on every front only people are far left radicals who we call eco colonialists. larry: donative alaskaians, native american alaskaians wouldn't they want to jobs. >> 100%. in this area, the rule on national petroleum reserve of alaska, npra, all leadership of alaska native community are indigenous leaders they came out against this rule, they were 100% against the biden rule, guess what biden did friday, he said i'm doing this to help them, they want it, i have never seen a more cynical lie come out of the house and principal it was dispiit -- thank you senator dan sullivan

larry: that's it for kudlow, thanks for watching, folks. ♪ ♪. maria: good tuesda
