Larry Kudlow is Trump's former Director of the National Economic Council. He's now returned to being a propagandist for Fox.

So when he appears on America Reports on Fox his job is to keep pumping the hate symbols: Kamala Harris, Michelle Obama, and of course, John Kerry.

LARRY KUDLOW: Can I just go back to John Kerry for a moment?

[SANDRA SMITH brushes off a thing on her sleeve knowing she can take off her shoes for the next four minutes while Larry vamps.]

SMITH: Whatever you choose...

KUDLOW: One of my favorite people... [to dangle in front of the rabid mob who watches this show]

You spent basically two hours talking about how cold it is in Iowa.

SANDRA SMITH (CO-ANCHOR): It's cold in Iowa.

KUDLOW: And you're very right, there's no denying it.

SMITH: It effects voter turnout and we're watching it.

KUDLOW: It's also very cold throughout the Midwest. There's a story in the Washington Post today, 60 degrees below normal, parts of Montana, where we were married, minus 40 degrees. This is the Washington Post. So, I just want to know of Mr. Kerry, whatever happened to global warming? Why hasn't there been front page stories? I mean every time you get a little heat wave or every time you get a bad rainstorm, everyone runs with these crazy stories about global warming, global warming, global warming, and climate change.

SMITH: Yeah.

KUDLOW: Alright? And so we have special envoys and this and that, and God knows we have EVs, we'll get to EVs in a minute, no one wants an EV. But, how about global freezing? Alright, not just in Iowa, but throughout the whole the Midwest of the country and maybe more.

SMITH: Oh yeah. Montana, baby. Whoa.

KUDLOW: So it evens out. That's my point. And you can't apply long-term cycles of warming to what amounts to bad weather for a week or two. This is what Kerry and these others in the administration --

SMITH: Well, the fact of the matter is --

KUDLOW: The whole thing is a -- I just want to -- it is a hoax. Global warming is a hoax. The idea that it's some kind of emergency is a complete and utter hoax --

SMITH: Well, there's real world --

KIDLOW: and the socialist Green New Deal is a hoax also.

And there we have it. A few minutes of DoubleSpeak to convince an audience of numbnuts that they shouldn't worry about the planet.
