About establishing back channel communications Schiff once cushion or security clearance reviewed if these allegations are true and he had discussions with the Russians about establishing a back channel and didn't reveal that that's a real problem in terms of whether he should maintain that national security adviser John Kelly doesn't see a problem all of these lines of communication are you know positive thing in my opinion you just have to assume like in this case with the Russians that it's it's constructed in a way that they're trying to get you to do certain things both Ron A.B.C.'s This Week broadcast Willy Corey Godbold listed in good condition in a hospital in Jackson Mississippi he was shot and wounded during a shooting rampage south of Jackson that left 8 people dead including a sheriff's deputy the rampage across 3 houses began after a man who got into an argument with his a strange wife after he was captured Godbold told a reporter I ain't fit to live you're listening to a.b.c.

To Main Street we believe free market capitalism is the best path to prosperity the Larry Kudlow show where money meets politics he's a former associate director with President Reagan's Office of Management and Budget he says she and the senior associate at right now on the right. Call want to. Welcome back from some very low this is the Larry Kudlow show great pleasure to be with you look at live talk to that we get plenty of talk budgets and taxes and Middle East and trumps trip and White House shake ups and Lord knows what before we get to all that money and politics I just want to begin the show as I always do on Memorial Day weekend sometimes I do this on Veterans Day and I always do it on July 4th reading from the Declaration of Independence. Like folks this great weekend and there's a lot of friendship camaraderie there's a lot of barbecue there's a lot of partying there's a lot of being with your kids course I love all that love all that as I am sure you love all of that as well but just give me a chance here to kind of review the bay and just as a starter you know please remember place remember that Memorial Day which once upon a time was called Decoration Day is about our fallen soldiers night and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice. The ultimate sacrifice in order to defend American liberty and freedom that's really what today is about the ultimate sacrifice for the men and women who gave their lives in order to preserve America's freedom and liberty and for America to be a beacon to the rest of the world literally as Ronald Reagan put it a city on the Hill so let's not forget that it's a sobering point a little bit history little bit of history much of this really was triggered by Abraham Lincoln who is my favorite president so he started it to Gettysburg Address Nov 19th 1963 was a dedication of the soldiers National Cemetery that was a cemetery for Union soldiers killed at the Battle of Gettysburg during the. American Civil War And oddly enough that speech which is why it's a great speech is in the English language really one of the greatest speeches and was language really didn't get the coverage that it deserved to get 260 words how about that 260 words for one of the greatest speeches in the entire language you know I have to knock out a 100 words a week to do a column I really should work on Slice and then the 260 words following in the footsteps of my favorite President Abraham Lincoln so let me just read a couple of quotes. From President Lincoln and some others to just set the table perhaps remind you of the importance of Memorial Day or. Decoration Day from Mr Lincoln from Mr Lincoln the world will little note nor long remember what we say here but it can never forget what they did here it is for us to live and rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they fought here have thus far so nobley advanced it is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom and that government of the people by the people for the people shall not perish from the earth that was Mr Lincoln at the gate is birth address 260 some words and make sure I get this right looks like November 18th 63 it was November 18th 63 yes the event in 1863 and now let me read a couple of other quotations beauties from great men great Americans that. That I cherish and I hope you do and I hope you just give this a listen among and take a few minutes or I don't have to tell you how fragile this precious gift of freedom is every time we hear watch or read the news we are reminded that liberty is a rare commodity in this world. That by my other favorite president President Ronald Reagan for whom I worked in his 1st term I don't know over 30 years ago I don't have to tell you how fragile this precious gift of freedom is and every time we hear watch or read the news we are reminded that liberty is a rare commodity in this world the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in our armed services they knew the precious gift of freedom and they knew that liberty was in those days a very rare commodity a couple of other quotes General George s. Patton He said quote It is foolish and wrong to mourn the dead who died rather we should thank God that such men lives I love that it is foolish and wrong to mourn and men who died rather we should thank God that such men lived what a fabulous fabulous statement and finally. Another one of my favorite presidents you'll recognize this one I think Let every nation know whether it wishes us well or ill that we shall pay any price bear any burden meet any hardship support any friend oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty that quote from a distinguished American who fought in World War 2 and was nearly killed and received the Purple Heart and many other awards for his valor president John f. Kennedy that was in his inaugural speech in January 1901 just one more time. Let every nation know whether it wishes us well or ill that we shall pay any price bear any burden meet any hardship support any friend oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty that was John f. Kennedy so I've given you a smattering a smattering from Mr Lincoln and President Reagan from General Patton and President Kennedy I do this because it's so important you know I just do this because it's so so important to remember our history to remember what is this day what does this day need I want you to have a great time today I want you to have a wonderful time today by the way Decoration Day as it was 1st called began after the end of the Civil War. By a bunch of Union soldiers and a few years later they were joined by Confederate soldiers as the union did stand and we were united and then of course the spread and spread and spread to the Memorial Day weekend I won't go through this for you get all the stuff online Google it with the p.d.f. Whatever you want you'll see it's all there the quotes are there history is there it's all there I just want to say wonderful sunny Saturday in 2017 Wong ways from the end of the Civil War when decoration was started a very long ways from Mr Lincoln's Gettysburg Address this is a day honor. Of the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice . To preserve and defend America's liberty and freedom and greatness and the beacon to the world and the ultimate city on the Hill as Reagan used to put it folks these people saved us not once but many many times down through the last couple of 100 years and we should probably add to that those men who served in the Revolutionary War under General George Washington to create a free and democratic America I'm going to save most of that for July 4th because I love to walk through the Declaration of Independence which really is one of my very favorite darkens so I have a great time wonderful time if you have a spare minute listen to our show we're going to be around for 3 hours lots of things to talk about lots of current events lots of controversies lots of things out there that will contribute to the defense of America's liberty and freedom and greatness that too is involved a Memorial Day 2017 but most of all please do not forget the words of legs and the words of Reagan the words of Pat and the words of j.f.k. And many other great speeches that I could have read Forever is a somber day a somber day a spiritual day a hopeful day a day greatness for the United States of America may God bless this country and my God bless all the people living in it yesterday today and tomorrow.

Budget director Mick Mulvaney this week earlier this week unveiled president Trump's new budget and there's a kid Julian things and the budget I put together 3 u.s. Federal budgets for Ronald Reagan in 198-198-2983 I was honored to do so as one of the deputies in his Office of Management Budget budgets are very very complicated and lengthy and discursive and controversy just a couple of quick points Ok. My title here. Really this is a c. And b. C. Title I think we send these out to a bunch of people National Review c n b c Real Clear Politics Real Clear Markets Creators Syndicate is nice enough to send it out to the newspapers around the country. Basically what I'm saying here is Trump's trunk its budget is a growth budget and it's a growth budget that restores the Bill Clinton Newt Gingrich welfare reforms that were basically destroyed by Barack Obama basically destroyed by Barack Obama so when budget director Mick Mulvaney who in my opinion is a rising star he and Stephen Nugent rising stars but when he unveiled the budget he made this comment and I will paraphrase he said we do not judge the success of this budget by how much federal government spending and cash assistance no we will judge the success of this budget by how many people leave government dependency and join the private labor force as full fledged workers. That is a wonderful phrase I have not heard this it must be 20 years former President Bill Clinton the Democrat new speaker of House Newt Gingrich the Republican compromise on welfare reform. Which argue that tighter eligibility time limits work search mandates better training programs all that would move people from welfare to work fair critics on the left said it would never work they said millions of people would be left on the streets and polished with no government assistance wrong wrong the eligibility and work requirements back there in the middle 990 s. Instead put millions of people to work in the private sector and create jobs and productivity and everything that's what happened it just takes an elder building requirements you know and those have been thrown out the window by Obama and by the way one quickie here among all the benefits of moving from work failure I'm sorry from welfare to work fair of all the benefits one of his happiness and I draw on the work of my friend I thought or Brooks the president of American Enterprise Institute who did detail careful statistical surveys down through the years which proved beyond a shadow of a doubt people working in the private sector are far happier far happier than people subsisting on government assistance help your self-esteem and make shoe much happier All right I just want to lead with that point the trunk budget is going back to restore the Clinton Gingrich welfare reforms of the mid ninety's which by the way unfortunately Mrs Clinton running for president did not want to do that Republicans should follow Trump they should follow Mick Mulvaney they should listen to President Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich that's what I want to say it's a growth budget. Welfare to Work fair I've got plenty more to talk about this budget plenty more with our 2 next guests bu
