LARRY KUDLOW (FOX BUSINESS HOST): 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.
