We 42 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: got a number of really terrific Guess I'm kind of 43 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: stoked about Steve Moore coming in. Can you say stoked 44 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: when you're forty two? Lauren? Is that weird? I think 45 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: it's totally normal. It is okay, all right. I was 46 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: just because I was a little worried. My wife sometimes 47 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,679 Speaker 1: comes home, She's like, you're forty two. You should really 48 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: not say things like stoke. But he sounds super rad, 49 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: super I don't even know if rad is rad anymore. Right, 50 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: when I was a kid, everything was mint everything, and 51 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,639 Speaker 1: my my locals used to laugh and be like mint 52 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: that was a long Island thing, and queens you had 53 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: to say awesome before P. I got Steve Moore coming, 54 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: and we're gonna talk taxes. Steve Moore has probably forgotten 55 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: more about taxes than most people know. We're gonna dispel 56 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 1: and debunk a lot of stupid liberal myths about taxes, 57 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: because that's what liberals do. They lie. Five P. I've 58 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: got Chris han Now, if you've seen me debate Chris Han. 59 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: Chris is a lib but he's he's a nice guy. 60 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: I mean, listen, I'm a conservative. I think people can 61 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: have different ideas. But if you ever seen me and 62 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: Chris debate on Fox, we usually rip each other's heads off, 63 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: but we don't dislike each other. But he'll be in 64 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: a five p for what I promise, uh will be 65 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: a very spicy debate about the issues of the day. 66 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,639 Speaker 1: Liberal callers, by the way, you're always welcome to you 67 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: know what. I like that and five Congressman Jim Jordan 68 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 1: and Rod Bloom. So that'll be fun, all right, folks. 69 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: You know, we've been told for six months about this 70 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: X files Trump Russia fairy tale, conspiracy theory, collusion narrative. 71 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna break some news for you right now 72 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: about Russian collusion. Deep breath. It was true. If you're 73 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: a listener out there here, like, wait, what the Russian 74 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: collusion thing was true? Folks? It was true. Well, it's 75 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: true the whole time, six seven months, eight months. Turns 76 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: out looks like four or five years. This Russian collusion 77 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: thing was absolutely true. But a little wrinkle to this story. Yeah, 78 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: you were thinking fastball, We're going curve Boy and maybe Knuckler. 79 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: The little wrinkle to this story is the Russian collusion 80 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: was a story of collusion between the d n C, 81 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton, and the Obama administration and the Russians the 82 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: entire time. So thanks to the Democrats, nice job. I 83 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: have never in my life seen such a stupid political 84 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 1: strategy to advance a knowingly garbage, nonsense, made up, fake 85 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: conspiracy theory about Trump's relationship to the Russians that turns 86 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: around and boomerangs in your face and turns out to 87 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: be an an accurate scandal. Just wipe out the Trump 88 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 1: porst and get the white out out and put the 89 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: n C, Hillary Clinton. What a bunch of imbeciles. I 90 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: think people still use that word, and I'm pretty sure 91 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: that's FCC compliant. What a bunch of colossal imbeciles. You know. 92 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: I love Twitter. They have that hashtag epic fail. This 93 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: is an epic epic fail. Of all the epic fails 94 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: I've ever seen in political strategy injury, this ranks easily 95 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 1: number one or two. I cannot think of a scandal 96 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: that is so backfired on these dopes in the liberal movement. 97 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: Then this, this Russian collusion thing, which is true. It 98 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: is a Democrat collusion scandal. Now I've got a theory 99 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: on this. I got a lot I want to get 100 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: to do this. Adam Schiff is at it again. It's 101 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: just joker in Congress who's becoming a one man comedy act. Right. 102 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: But I have a theory on this, and you're free 103 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: to tweet me about it. You're free to call in one, three, two, six, 104 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: Liberals free to call into I really don't care that. 105 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: Usually have nothing substant to say, but I don't mind 106 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: yelling actually once in a while. My theory on it 107 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 1: is this, the Clintons aren't dumb. Either is Barack Obama. 108 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: They're not. I don't agree with their politics, but these 109 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: aren't stupid people. Folks, don't do you. You're doing yourself 110 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 1: a strategic disservice. If you think that I was there. 111 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: I worked there for those you know me. I was 112 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,160 Speaker 1: a secret Service agent. Started with the Clinton administration, work 113 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 1: with the Obama's. These aren't dumb people. They have really 114 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:07,919 Speaker 1: dumb ideas, but they're not dumb people. Okay, they had 115 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: to know the entire time. They had to know that 116 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: this Russians collusion scandal when at least the Trump end 117 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: of it was nonsense, all right, They understood that. They 118 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: also understood because I don't believe for a second that 119 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: the Clinton campaign did not know what was going on 120 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 1: with this dossier that the d n C. Because I 121 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: want to just get this down to nuggets, because this 122 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: is a very complicated case. The d n C and 123 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: the Clintons were basically paying for bad Russian intel. They 124 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: had to know they were involved in that. Hillary included, 125 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: There's I don't see any plausible way Hillary Clinton did 126 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 1: not understand that millions of dollars are being funneled to 127 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 1: a lawyer to essentially, in essence, pay for bad Russian 128 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: intelligence from Russians. I'll get it to more of this 129 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: as the show goes on, but here's the takeaway the 130 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 1: thirty thousand foot for you. Here, you should be asking yourself, well, 131 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: what the hell did they advanced this Trump Russia fairy 132 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 1: tale for if they knew the entire time that they 133 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: were the guilty ones. You know, folks, if if you 134 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: go into a local bodegar deli and you steal something 135 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: off the shelf and you walk out, you don't walk 136 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: back into the delhi or the Bodegan, go, hey, somebody 137 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: just stole something. Go get them. Let's go look at 138 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: the video tape. They do the water wolf do the 139 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: video tape. You don't do that, right, I mean, why 140 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: would you bring attention to Russian collusion if the Russian 141 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: colluions the entire time were you. Here's my theory, and 142 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: I think there's something to this because I know these 143 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: Clinton people. They are they're they're not stupid. The Clintons 144 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: had lived through this before. They have lived through intense 145 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: media scandal before. Whether it was Whitewater, whether it was Travelgate, 146 00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: whether it was Vince Foster, whether it was Monica Lewinsky. 147 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: They have lived through all this before, and the media 148 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: has always found a way to cover for them. Clinton 149 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: left office, folks, regardless of all these scandals, Bill Clinton 150 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: left office with an approval rating hovering near six because 151 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: the media painted it as a right wing conspiracy. Ken 152 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: Starr was the bad guy going after the blah blah 153 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: blah blah blah. You remember most of you know what 154 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: happened there. The Clintons have lived their entire life with 155 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: the understanding that no matter what they do wrong, no 156 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: matter how guilty they are, no matter how many, No 157 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: matter literally biological evidence of the act appearing that Bill 158 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: Clintons was lying. It doesn't matter. The media has always 159 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 1: covered for them. Hillary needed after this election, this this 160 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,719 Speaker 1: devastating loss. She needed a convenient excuse. I don't I'm 161 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: not sure if she's gonna run again. I know she 162 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 1: says she is, and I'm not sure about that. But 163 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,559 Speaker 1: she needed a convenient excuse to maintain her plitical ump 164 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: because she's not done with politics regardless, because she can't be, 165 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 1: because because she's a creature of politics, she feeds off power. 166 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 1: She's like you know that that guy from Spider Man 167 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: to whatever electro where they feed off electurers. She she 168 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,319 Speaker 1: feeds off power. They need power and they need a 169 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 1: flow of funds. So she needed to reestablish her political 170 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: credibility the only way she could do that after this 171 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: absolutely horrifying, humiliating loss where she was destroyed by the 172 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: Electoral College. Destroyed. I mean, she she was running for 173 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: the you know, governorship of California. She would have done great, 174 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: but she got destroyed using our rules. She fabricated from 175 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: the start, in conjunction with her political consigiliaries, a false 176 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,439 Speaker 1: narrative to save her image, and that false narrative was 177 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: that the Russians colluded with Trump to win the election. 178 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: She they never believed that, they never had any evidence. 179 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: There's still no evidence, no evidence will appear. It's nonsense. 180 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 1: It's a made up narrative. But they needed it. And 181 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: even though they knew that they had gone into the 182 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: bodega and stolen the loaf of bread, they knew when 183 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,559 Speaker 1: they went back in that the media it would help 184 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: them help them gaslight the owner into believe in someone 185 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: else didn't even though they were watching the video of 186 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: them stealing it themselves. They knew the media would advance 187 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: the narrative. They understood that the entire time, because they've 188 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: lived through with folks they've lived her with. I'm not 189 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: I'm not speaking with forked tongue here. I'm telling you 190 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: the truth they've lived through before the media protecting them 191 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: from obvious guilt. Not only that Bill Clinton leaving office 192 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:31,079 Speaker 1: with a high approval rating, despite defiling the office and 193 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 1: and and defiling people in the office. They had always 194 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: covered for them before. And I think what is shocking 195 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 1: to her now, being a creature of old politics, is 196 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: she stunned. I think at the development of social media 197 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: and the evolving of the conservative content ecosystem through you know, 198 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 1: bright Bard, Conservative Review, Drudge, social media, Twitter, Facebook, and 199 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: the ability to have alternative voices out there on TV, 200 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: got Fox News, you have other outlets out there as well. 201 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: She was blindsided by the fact that the story and 202 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: the truth would come out. Folks, I'm not crazy because 203 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: there's only two explanations to this, only two explanation. Number one, 204 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: are these are the dumbest people in the history of politics. No, 205 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: I'm serious. They invented a false narrative about Russian collusion, 206 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 1: knowing the colluters the entire time. For them, this that 207 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: has to be the single dumbest decision in political history. 208 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: And I I don't believe it. I don't believe they're 209 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: that stupid. I know, I know. I'll get emails and 210 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: tweets on it. That's fine.

I genuinely believe option too, that they were 214 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: absolutely convinced the media was going to multiply this false 215 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: narrative and and and cover for them because that was 216 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: their experience in the past.

Listen, here's the big deal 359 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 1: about this case that I think is escaping um a 360 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 1: lot of folks out there. I mean, I say this case. 361 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 1: I'm talking about the the the exploding Russian collusion scandal, 362 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: which is a collusion scandal just with the Democrats and Hillary. 363 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: Many of you know me, some of you don't. I 364 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,159 Speaker 1: was a former federal agent. I'm intimately familiar with the 365 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: process for putting people in jail, prosecuting them with federal crimes, 366 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,880 Speaker 1: and conjunction with the U. S. Attorney's office. Folks, I've 367 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 1: done this before, and you know it's not a pad 368 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 1: on the back. It's just a fact. I'm just trying 369 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 1: to establish a base level of bona fides. Here. Here's 370 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,640 Speaker 1: the problem I see with this case, the the Democrat 371 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 1: Russian collusion case, which by the way, is again it's 372 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,160 Speaker 1: exploding in front of every eyes and in my humble opinion, 373 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,880 Speaker 1: is the scandal of the century right now. Here's why. 374 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,360 Speaker 1: There are two takeaways from this, and here's the first one. 375 00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 1: It is now confirmed. No reasonable person disputes that the Democrats, 376 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: through a multiple vehicles and conduits, paid people affiliated with 377 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: the Russians for false intelligence on Donald Trump. Okay, that 378 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: this is where it gets important, folks. The Democrats want 379 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 1: that story to stop right there because sadly, but again, 380 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 1: let's be candid. If the story stops there, it stinks. 381 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:33,160 Speaker 1: It's ugly, but it's not necessarily illegal. The Democrats pitch 382 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,880 Speaker 1: will be okay, whatever, So we paid for bad information. 383 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 1: It's called appo research. Candidates do it all the time. 384 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 1: And yes, folks, to be to be open and honest 385 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 1: about it, they would be correct. Appo research happens everywhere. 386 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,400 Speaker 1: It's happened to me. I've run for office three times. Uh, 387 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 1: It's it's ugly, believe me. It's stinks when people start 388 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: digging through every every single facet of your life like 389 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 1: san blowers nose in public ones like oh my gosh, 390 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,239 Speaker 1: they know everything about you. These people appo research. They're right, 391 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 1: there's nothing illegal about it. That is not controversial. Okay, 392 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: So the liberals listen because I know Sean has him, 393 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 1: and I know those imbeciles over hip media matters listen 394 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 1: all the time. So for the imbeciles over their media matters, 395 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: this is where the story gets interesting. Try to take 396 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: the cotton out of your ears and stick it in 397 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: your mouth for just a moment. Okay, that's not controversial, 398 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 1: we get it. Points stipulated, there's nothing illegal about opposition 399 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 1: research on a candidate. It's not. That's not the controversy. 400 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 1: The controversy is what happened with the oppo research. That's 401 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 1: the scandal, Man and woman, that's the scandal, Not that 402 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: the opo Because everybody, all the liberal talking heads, they're 403 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: all out there. You know, we got Chris Han coming 404 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: up later. We're gonna debate and we'll see if he 405 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:50,879 Speaker 1: says he may not. I shouldn't wait for him to 406 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: get on the air. But this is they're like opposition 407 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,199 Speaker 1: researchers normal. Yes, Points stipulated. The question you should be 408 00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:00,360 Speaker 1: asking your liberal friends is what the heck happened with 409 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 1: the APO? Oh? The opposition research made it into the 410 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 1: Presidential Daily Brief and onto Barack Obama's desk. Wait wait, wait, wait, wait, 411 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: what come again? Please rewind the tape. Let's go under 412 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,679 Speaker 1: the hood for review. Throw the red flag? Did you 413 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 1: just say? Political opposition research? Made it onto the president 414 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: United States desk and he was briefed by the i C. 415 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:32,159 Speaker 1: Intelligence community on fake Russian intelligence that Democrats paid for. 416 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:38,679 Speaker 1: Um uh. Now now comes that moment where the fingernails 417 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 1: chewing starts, like, how do we weasel our way out 418 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: of this one? Adam Shift get on Twitter and say 419 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: we're gonna start an investigation at the Trump about uranium one. 420 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: This is folks. They are in a panic there. How 421 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: do you explain this away? Uh? I'm not kidding you. 422 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: When I was when I was working federal cases for 423 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 1: all this reason, I can't give any of the details, 424 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: but there was one particular credit card froud case I worked. 425 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:11,400 Speaker 1: I cannot even imagine using intelligence I gathered from say 426 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 1: a source on this. It was a big credit card 427 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,479 Speaker 1: front case. They were printing bogus credit cards. They had 428 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,880 Speaker 1: managed to get cvvs and all kinds of card verification 429 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 1: value and all kinds of stuff they needed for for 430 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: fake credit cards. I cannot even imagine walking into court 431 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,399 Speaker 1: for a search warrant, no less a wire tap on 432 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: a political campaign that actually happened. Nobody disputes that. Okay, 433 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 1: I cannot imagine walking into court on a credit card 434 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 1: case with an affid David for a search warrant on 435 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,479 Speaker 1: a credit card case with information we paid for that 436 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 1: had been debunked six different ways from Sunday and came 437 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,400 Speaker 1: from the Russians. Folks, I'm not kidding. I probably would 438 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: have been fired, if not potentially locked up for colluding 439 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: with Russians. That's about a stupid credit card case. Can 440 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 1: you imagine, megin that this was done to gather intelligence, 441 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 1: fake news intelligence on a presidential candidate who was your 442 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: political opponent, and the information made it onto Barack Obama's 443 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:21,360 Speaker 1: desk that I'm I'm sitting here like, I know there's 444 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: no camera, but I'm like, here's a me scratching my head. 445 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: Do you hear that I'm short hair? So? Maybe what 446 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 1: so that that? That's only part one of this. This 447 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: gets better. This is part one. Question one for your 448 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:40,360 Speaker 1: liberal friends, How the heck did bogus Russian intelligence make 449 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 1: it onto the president's desk? Was anybody doing their homework 450 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: now I am. I love the guys and the ladies 451 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: of the FBI. I mean it as It's not me 452 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 1: like throwing sugar out there because the vinegars coming later. 453 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 1: I'm not doing it. I work with them. I don't 454 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 1: know all of them, obviously, there's quite a few, but 455 00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:00,400 Speaker 1: I've met more than a handful, and I can tell 456 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,120 Speaker 1: you with you know, no uncertain terms, that they are 457 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,160 Speaker 1: unbelievably hard working, super smart. They do a great job. 458 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 1: I don't think the rank and file men and women 459 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: had anything to do with this. I think this was 460 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: the bureaucrats at the top of FBI management and someone 461 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,439 Speaker 1: in our intelligence community as well that had to have 462 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: known something really stunk with this information. And if they didn't, 463 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 1: why didn't you? How do you not vet this on 464 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: a presidential candidate? You have information on a presidential candidate. Guys, ladies. 465 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: When I was in the when I was a federal legion, right, 466 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: if we had a treasury check case, that was like 467 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: the lowest case we had. You know, no one wanted 468 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 1: to work treasury check cases because every time the tax 469 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 1: returns got mailed out right around April, people would have 470 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: their treasury check stole. Now they do direct deposit in. 471 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 1: The Secret Service investigates that. Everybody hated those cases. Everyone, 472 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:58,959 Speaker 1: but once in a while, I'm not. This is how 473 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 1: it really worked. Once in a while, someone with political 474 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: connections would call up the local congressman and say, hey, 475 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,680 Speaker 1: it's you know, it's May and my treasury check refund 476 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,679 Speaker 1: tax refund was stolen and nothing's happening. We would get 477 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: a call at the office from a congressman or or 478 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 1: one of their representatives, and folks, it was like all 479 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: hands on deck, like you better go find that treasury 480 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: check from Joey Bag of Donuts man, because he's really pissed. 481 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 1: And he called, you know, congressman Bag of Donuts and 482 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: and they're pissed too, so you better go find that 483 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 1: tea check at work that case. This happens all the time, sadly, everybody. 484 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 1: You know, it's all about connections everywhere. I wish it weren't. 485 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 1: That was the way it was when I was there, right, 486 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,680 Speaker 1: that's over a tea check case. In other words, we 487 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 1: were we had to go the extra mile when a 488 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,439 Speaker 1: congressman called because somebody called the congressman's office about a 489 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 1: missing tax refund You have information, though, on a presidential 490 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 1: candidate with the stature and status of Donald Trump and 491 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,160 Speaker 1: at one point the nominee, and you do no homework 492 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 1: on it, like Trump pete on a bed in Russia. Yeah. Really, 493 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,360 Speaker 1: let's get that in front of the president tomorrow. Um, 494 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 1: did he actually do it? Who cares? Let's just bring it. 495 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,680 Speaker 1: Bring it on. You got more? You can what else 496 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 1: you got? Oh, we heard he did this, but I 497 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: can't even talk about him because the Family Friendly show. 498 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,680 Speaker 1: We heard he did this with this and Andy, Andy, 499 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 1: he defiled a hotel room. Obama said, whoa, how do 500 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 1: we get that to Obama tomorrow? You vouched? You vouched 501 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 1: for this. You do no homework on it at all. 502 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 1: You don't follow up with the source, or did you? 503 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 1: Is that what we're missing? The source doesn't follow up 504 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 1: with the source. You don't ask yourself. Hey, um, who 505 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,399 Speaker 1: paid you for this? Oh? The Democrats and the d 506 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 1: n C. And and by the way, I've already know 507 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: the liberal listeners because they never do their homework. You're saying, well, 508 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 1: didn't a Republican donors start Yes, a Republican donor started this. 509 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: The dossier portion of this, though, which is what we're 510 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 1: talking about was funded after the Democrats took over the 511 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 1: oppo research file. So yes, a Republican opponent of Trump 512 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 1: who's there still remains nameless, did start this The dossier, 513 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: the controversial portion of it, the information, the false Russian intel, 514 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 1: did not appear until the Democrats got involved. That's a fact. 515 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 1: Chew on them apples right, you don't follow up, Listen. 516 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:34,879 Speaker 1: I know, like I said, I know a lot of 517 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: these men and women in the bureau. These are not 518 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: political animals. There is no way that information would have 519 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 1: come through to them zero and they would not follow 520 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 1: up before embarrassing themselves and putting their name on assigned 521 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 1: Affid David. If that was the case, and that leads 522 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: me to point number two point number one, how did 523 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 1: it get into a presidential daily brief? Point number two? 524 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: Is this God forbid? And I am not using his 525 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 1: name in vain. I mean it because I am genuinely concerned. 526 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: God forbid this fake dossier, fake Russian intelligence that the 527 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 1: Democrats paid for actually made it into an Affidavid two 528 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 1: wire tap components of the Trump presidential organization. Ladies and gentlemen. 529 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 1: If that's the case, you have a scandal. Of I mean, 530 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 1: it makes Watergate look like a rent and stimpy episode. 531 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 1: This thing is a catastrophe. I mean water Gate, we 532 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 1: had a crime. These these these amateurs break into the 533 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 1: hotel room at the Watergate and steal information on Democrats 534 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 1: and listen, everybody went down for it rightfully. So now 535 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: you have the Russians feeding intel they're paid by Democrats. 536 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: That fake intel the Russians provided makes it into a 537 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,719 Speaker 1: are tapping document for a presidential candidate, and the Democrats 538 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 1: are like, nothing to see, your folks, move along. It 539 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 1: reminds me of what was it the Naked Gun when 540 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: Leslie Nielsen that scene where everything's blowing up behind him, 541 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 1: the ambo factory, the fire and everything's exploding.

There are I I can't I 549 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 1: cannot envision a scenario where careers aren't ended by this 550 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 1: once the information is fully vetted and the key like 551 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 1: I take a break here in a second, But the 552 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 1: key to this, there's going to be the bank records 553 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 1: from Fusion GPS. Once they find out who paid them, 554 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 1: they are gonna be unable to run away from the 555 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 1: from the from the undeniable fact that the Russians played 556 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 1: to plant intel at a presidential kiddy.

Distinguished Visiting Fellow for 617 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 1: the Project for Economic Growth at the Heritage Foundation, a 618 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 1: good friend of the conservative movement, Steve Moore. Steve, thanks 619 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 1: for joining us. Steve. You know, I um, I feel 620 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,160 Speaker 1: like I already know you because I've been reading your 621 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 1: stuff in briefing and you know, the stuff you've been 622 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:27,520 Speaker 1: doing on the Uranium. Oh, thank you has been so 623 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 1: first rate. Thank you for what you're doing. I mean 624 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 1: it's like, you know, I do CNN now and they 625 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,359 Speaker 1: I don't think they've ever even covered that story. Yeah, 626 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,319 Speaker 1: I'm not surprised, I think, given my background is at 627 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,239 Speaker 1: a federal agent. I'm just really perplexed at how there 628 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,400 Speaker 1: seems to be a bifurcated system of justice in the country. 629 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 1: And it's just disappointing. I mean, if this was the 630 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 1: case of a Republican doing this. I I think you 631 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,839 Speaker 1: and I both would be saying, hey, there's this smells bad. 632 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 1: Can we give this a look? But of course, because 633 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 1: it's democratically because the you know, the all they talk 634 00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 1: about um MSNBC and CNN is this so called in 635 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 1: a Russian collusion story between Trump and and Puton. I mean, 636 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,759 Speaker 1: there is a Russian collusion story here, but I haven't 637 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 1: involved Donald Trump. All right, That's how I started the show. 638 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,080 Speaker 1: I said, I'm gonna blow you away, audience. The Russian 639 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,080 Speaker 1: collusion narrative is true. It's just true about the d 640 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 1: n C and Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration. Well, 641 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,640 Speaker 1: I love your work, and there's an article you wrote. 642 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:24,799 Speaker 1: I think it was at the Washington Times, gosh four 643 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 1: years ago, I don't even know, but I I've linked 644 00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,759 Speaker 1: to this thing probably twenty or thirty times on my 645 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,799 Speaker 1: own website because it's such a great piece. And I 646 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,439 Speaker 1: want to have you on today talk about the tax 647 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,640 Speaker 1: cuts because one of the points you make in the 648 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:40,359 Speaker 1: piece that I I I just wish was out there 649 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,920 Speaker 1: and and and shouted from the rafters is when you 650 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,680 Speaker 1: look historically at what actually happens, Steve, like real date, 651 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:49,920 Speaker 1: in fact, something liberals have a tough time with. And 652 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:53,799 Speaker 1: you look at major income tax cuts Reagan, Uh, George W. 653 00:35:54,280 --> 00:36:00,160 Speaker 1: Calvin Coolidge, John F. Kennedy that tax revenue afterwards one 654 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 1: up and the rich actually paid more, not less in 655 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,880 Speaker 1: many of those cases. This is just this is accepted 656 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,920 Speaker 1: by conservatives and know what they're talking about as as 657 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 1: fact because it is, but liberals ignore it every time. 658 00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,200 Speaker 1: Well that you know, you're absolutely right and in fact, 659 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:19,279 Speaker 1: you know it's interesting. I've been doing a lot of 660 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,800 Speaker 1: research as as my buddy Larry Cutlow. I know a 661 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 1: lot of your listeners know Larry one of our great 662 00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,279 Speaker 1: economists in this country. And Larry has written a great book. 663 00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,760 Speaker 1: I'll do a quick shout out for It's called jfk 664 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,880 Speaker 1: and the Rake and Revolution. And people, especially liberals, like 665 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,880 Speaker 1: to forget. They love to forget that. John F. Kennedy 666 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,880 Speaker 1: was promoting the biggest tax cut ever at that time 667 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,399 Speaker 1: in the nineteen sixties, and he said, when we cut 668 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 1: the tax rates, we will go more revenues, we will 669 00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:46,080 Speaker 1: get more incomes, will get more jobs. Doesn't that sound 670 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,399 Speaker 1: like Donald Trump? I mean John Kennedy when it comes 671 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,239 Speaker 1: to taxes would probably be a Republican today. Uh, and 672 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 1: and it worked. You know, we had the boom in 673 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:56,560 Speaker 1: the nineteen sixties, in fact, the tax revenue sword after 674 00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,080 Speaker 1: those rate cuts. And of course that's where Reagan came 675 00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,280 Speaker 1: up with the idea. He saw what happened under Kennedy, 676 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,279 Speaker 1: so we did it again in the eighties. And of 677 00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,440 Speaker 1: course it's just so funny. I mean, I am at 678 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,440 Speaker 1: the NN and he said, we don't want to repeat 679 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,000 Speaker 1: the you know, trickle down economic policies of Reagan. I'm like, 680 00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:11,880 Speaker 1: are you kidding? I mean, that was one of the 681 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:15,200 Speaker 1: biggest economic booms we ever saw. We stopped inflation, we 682 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:18,400 Speaker 1: had you know, twenty million new jobs. And I seemed 683 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,920 Speaker 1: to be recalled down that the word policy worked pretty 684 00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,799 Speaker 1: well because Ronald Reagan squeaked by in his in his 685 00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:28,759 Speaker 1: re election campaign. Yeah yeah, he barely barely won, right 686 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:32,160 Speaker 1: and remember he lost Minnesota by only three thousand votes. 687 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,480 Speaker 1: Sorry he he only lost Minnesota by three thousand votes 688 00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,600 Speaker 1: because it was Mondale's home state. Real squeaker didn't he 689 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,680 Speaker 1: didn't want to have the slaughter role. But you know 690 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:44,920 Speaker 1: it was it was an amazing and people say it 691 00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:46,360 Speaker 1: didn't work. Well, if it didn't work, how did he 692 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,920 Speaker 1: win forty nine states. I mean, the American people love 693 00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,239 Speaker 1: that policy and and we can do it again. And 694 00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:54,120 Speaker 1: and what Trump recognizes is, you know, back when Reagan 695 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,919 Speaker 1: was president, the problem was our our taxes are high, 696 00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,280 Speaker 1: sky high. Individual income tax rates now our biggest problem. 697 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,400 Speaker 1: And our tax rates on individuals are too high. But 698 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 1: the big problem to me is an economist, and I 699 00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,040 Speaker 1: used to tell Trump about this all the time when 700 00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,520 Speaker 1: I worked with them on the campaign as a senior 701 00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:14,040 Speaker 1: economic advisor. I said, you know, Donald, our big problem 702 00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:15,800 Speaker 1: is that we're you know, we've got the highest business 703 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,319 Speaker 1: tax rates in the world. It's unbelievable. Most people don't 704 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:21,360 Speaker 1: even understand or realize that. But we charge our business 705 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,399 Speaker 1: as a higher tax rate than Japan, than UH, than 706 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:28,560 Speaker 1: South Korea, than China, than India, and you know, even 707 00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:31,719 Speaker 1: even Cuba has a low rate of tames on their businesses. 708 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,319 Speaker 1: So it's insane. And we we get that rate down. 709 00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:38,399 Speaker 1: Dan from Trump wanted a fifteen percent rate, by the way, 710 00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,799 Speaker 1: and now they've compromised it to twenty. I hope they 711 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,120 Speaker 1: don't go one percentage point over twenty. But if you 712 00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:46,000 Speaker 1: can cut that tax rate down to twenty, I guarantee you, Dan, 713 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:49,040 Speaker 1: it's gonna be like a reverse magnetic poll of all 714 00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,640 Speaker 1: those businesses that have left, a lot of them are 715 00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:53,920 Speaker 1: going to come back to the United States. Instead of 716 00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:58,080 Speaker 1: outsourcing jobs, ladies and gentlemen, we're gonna start in sourcing jobs. 717 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,959 Speaker 1: And and and Steve the irony we're talking to Steve 718 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:03,960 Speaker 1: Moore from the Heritage Foundation. By the way, Steve the 719 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:09,359 Speaker 1: irony of a corporate rate cut is that known let well, 720 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 1: I want to call him left leaning, but definitely Democrat 721 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:17,480 Speaker 1: administration economist Larry Summers, people like that. We're actually advocating 722 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,719 Speaker 1: in the past for the benefits of a corporate tax cut. 723 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 1: And Larry Summers actually said, it's the closest thing to 724 00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:27,760 Speaker 1: a free lunch you're going to get because that money 725 00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 1: will wind up back in the You'll have productivity enhancements 726 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,719 Speaker 1: to investment back in the company. The corporations aren't going 727 00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:37,080 Speaker 1: to burn the money, which will enhance wrote worker productivity, 728 00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:40,560 Speaker 1: which by the way, will give workers a de facto raise. 729 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:44,480 Speaker 1: I mean, this was Democrats arguing for this under Barack Obama, 730 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:48,040 Speaker 1: and now conveniently they've changed their mind. And I don't 731 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:49,840 Speaker 1: know if you saw it, but the Wall Street Journal 732 00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,680 Speaker 1: oup ed where Ksey Mulligan totally called him out on 733 00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,400 Speaker 1: that and said, wait, what happened Larry? You were arguing 734 00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:58,200 Speaker 1: for this a little while ago. He says, Now that 735 00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,680 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is proposing and he says, it's I'm endless policy. Um, 736 00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,440 Speaker 1: and you know, to cut to the chase here. I 737 00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,120 Speaker 1: believe and I think my buddy Larry Cutlow agrees entirely 738 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:10,719 Speaker 1: with this, that that when you cut the business tax rate, 739 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:14,560 Speaker 1: that that benefits the workers. In fact, my friend Kevin Hasset, 740 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:18,120 Speaker 1: who's now working as the chief economist for Trump, has 741 00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,440 Speaker 1: just come out with report saying that you've got you 742 00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,040 Speaker 1: do this policy and the average middle class worker will 743 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:26,560 Speaker 1: get a four thousand dollar increase and they're after tax income. Now, 744 00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:29,360 Speaker 1: if you're you know, living on fifty sixty seventy thousand 745 00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,080 Speaker 1: dollars a year, four thousand dollars, boy, that's enough, Dawn 746 00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:35,239 Speaker 1: even to pay for the increased premiums under Obamacare, right, 747 00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,640 Speaker 1: I mean, mass, if you actually got rid of Obamacare 748 00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:40,120 Speaker 1: and let free market principles and competition, I mean, you 749 00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,600 Speaker 1: could potentially double that to uh, I mean your take 750 00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:44,919 Speaker 1: on pain, you know, Larry Cudlo makes a great point 751 00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,200 Speaker 1: as well. When he talks about the JFK tax cuts. 752 00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:48,880 Speaker 1: You know, we didn't say that wrong. The John F. 753 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,640 Speaker 1: Kennedy tax cuts, He says, listen, folks, this was one 754 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:56,320 Speaker 1: of the largest take home pay tax cuts in American history. 755 00:40:56,400 --> 00:41:00,280 Speaker 1: He cut the top rate from nine to seventy, meaning 756 00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:04,439 Speaker 1: you essentially tripled at that marginal rate, your your your 757 00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,200 Speaker 1: tax free return returns on that. I mean, this was 758 00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:09,480 Speaker 1: a massive tax cup by JFK. And I'm glad you 759 00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,759 Speaker 1: brought that up, because it seems like the Democrats forget that. 760 00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,600 Speaker 1: I mean, even Bill Clinton cut the capital gains tame 761 00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,160 Speaker 1: compax there when he did it. I was working for 762 00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:21,800 Speaker 1: Nuke Gimbridge at the time. We had to we finally 763 00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,719 Speaker 1: got Clinton to sign that bill. And one of the 764 00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:26,960 Speaker 1: reasons we're able to balance the budget. The only time 765 00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,919 Speaker 1: in the left half century that happened was that when 766 00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,319 Speaker 1: we cut the capital gains tax rate, we got such 767 00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:36,560 Speaker 1: a surge of revenues. We increased revenues because people started 768 00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:39,680 Speaker 1: selling stocks and taking capital gains, and we had such 769 00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,600 Speaker 1: a tidal wave of revenues low and behold, we we 770 00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:46,520 Speaker 1: actually balanced the budget. A tax cut increased revenues and 771 00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:49,279 Speaker 1: it happened to the Reagan I'll give you an amazing statistic. Then, 772 00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,399 Speaker 1: when Ronald Reagan came into office, the highest income tax 773 00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:54,640 Speaker 1: rate in the United States, A lot of our uh 774 00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,719 Speaker 1: you know your listeners will remember this a tax rate 775 00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:02,160 Speaker 1: in the ninete Jimmy Carter Reagan came in. He first 776 00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,960 Speaker 1: he cut it and then he cut it to percent. 777 00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:09,120 Speaker 1: So the rate went from se down to Now, what 778 00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,839 Speaker 1: do you think happened to the tax revenues. I'll tell 779 00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:15,239 Speaker 1: you what. It doubled from five billion to nine nine. 780 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:20,160 Speaker 1: They doubled. Explained that if you're a liberal. Well, here's 781 00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:23,600 Speaker 1: what they'll say, which I find ironic. They'll say, well, 782 00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:27,640 Speaker 1: correlation doesn't mean causation. Okay, I totally get that. I'm 783 00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:31,440 Speaker 1: I'm an avid believer in the modern statistical method. But Steve, 784 00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:35,000 Speaker 1: the point is the correlation doesn't You're trying to make 785 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:38,040 Speaker 1: the exact opposite argument. You're saying, is a liberal, Oh, 786 00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:41,640 Speaker 1: these tax rate cuts are gonna lead to decreases in revenue, 787 00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:46,960 Speaker 1: despite providing no correlational or causal evidence at all. It's 788 00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,880 Speaker 1: almost like silly making this argument. You're right now, I 789 00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,279 Speaker 1: want to ease the mind of your listeners because there's 790 00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,239 Speaker 1: a false story going on out there. If I can 791 00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,560 Speaker 1: have made me on about this tax cut. We just 792 00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:59,279 Speaker 1: want to make clearer to your listeners. So have you 793 00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,320 Speaker 1: heard about this worry about the four or one case? 794 00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,440 Speaker 1: And in the liberals they're gonna take away your four 795 00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:05,759 Speaker 1: one K plant. I want to assure every person will 796 00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,799 Speaker 1: listen to this show, we are not going to take 797 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,200 Speaker 1: away your four oh one K plan. There are fifty 798 00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,920 Speaker 1: five million Americans who have tax free savings accounts. We 799 00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,200 Speaker 1: are in favor of tax free savings accounts. I mean, 800 00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:17,960 Speaker 1: this is a great way to build up saving and 801 00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,520 Speaker 1: owning America. And by the way, those fifty five million 802 00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,400 Speaker 1: Americans have trillions of dollars in the stock market. You know, 803 00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,880 Speaker 1: the stock market is now up what twenty eight percent 804 00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:29,160 Speaker 1: since Trump took effect. And I argue with these liberals 805 00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:30,839 Speaker 1: I've seen and they say, oh, well, that's only rich 806 00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:33,200 Speaker 1: people benefit when the stock market goes up. And I said, 807 00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:35,440 Speaker 1: what are you talking about. They've never heard of pension 808 00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:37,719 Speaker 1: of these millions of Americans have their where do they 809 00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:39,799 Speaker 1: think they're putting their money? That money goes into the 810 00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:43,160 Speaker 1: stock market, just like pension funds. Yeah, that's just silly. 811 00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:45,920 Speaker 1: That's just silly liberal talk. Steve. I got about a 812 00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:47,799 Speaker 1: minute and a half left here, but one more quick 813 00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:51,360 Speaker 1: thing I wanted to address with you. Um, the Tax 814 00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:55,479 Speaker 1: Policy Center, they've been the propaganda leaders on the left 815 00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:57,560 Speaker 1: here putting out how this is gonna be a blow 816 00:43:57,600 --> 00:43:59,719 Speaker 1: a hole in the deficit and claiming how we're gonna 817 00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,080 Speaker 1: lose this money. Can you just debunk for that that 818 00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,799 Speaker 1: nonsense for a second, that the Tax Policy Center put 819 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,960 Speaker 1: out this paper on it without having any of the 820 00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,640 Speaker 1: any of the actual data about who or what was 821 00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:12,600 Speaker 1: actually going to be taxed? Am I correct? And saying 822 00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:15,200 Speaker 1: that you are, Dan Um, You're you're in the news 823 00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:17,640 Speaker 1: media business. Now, So let me ask you this question. 824 00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,359 Speaker 1: Why don't the last time you heard somebody um from 825 00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:24,040 Speaker 1: let's say the New York Times or Washington Post or 826 00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:26,879 Speaker 1: CBS News refer to the Heritage Foundation as a non 827 00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:32,520 Speaker 1: nonpartisan organization? Um never ever ever? But they yet the 828 00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,560 Speaker 1: Urban Institute, which is the most left wing you know, 829 00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:38,480 Speaker 1: think tank in America, which puts out these numbers because 830 00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:41,759 Speaker 1: they own the Tax Policy Center, every report you're gonna read. 831 00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:46,480 Speaker 1: Cause the Tax Policy Center a nonpartisan organization, they are 832 00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,880 Speaker 1: a far left wing group that always gets the numbers wrong. 833 00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,600 Speaker 1: It is a you you described it as a propaganda group. 834 00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:55,239 Speaker 1: I believe that's a good description. But I get so 835 00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:58,680 Speaker 1: angry at the media they call our conservative groups conservative, 836 00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:00,960 Speaker 1: but their groups are nonpart us in and I just 837 00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:04,040 Speaker 1: it's just it's stunning to me that because liberals will 838 00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:08,040 Speaker 1: actually use Tax Policy Center talking points and when you 839 00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:11,160 Speaker 1: say something very simple to them, like well, when they 840 00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:14,839 Speaker 1: when they scored this this tax cut, what tax rates 841 00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,040 Speaker 1: were they using in at what income level? That well, 842 00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:18,640 Speaker 1: what we don't know yet. What do you mean you 843 00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:21,719 Speaker 1: just guessed? Well, basically, I mean, they just won't admit that. 844 00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,640 Speaker 1: And it's just where you do, dan, is they assume 845 00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:27,400 Speaker 1: in that model that by cutting these tax rates on 846 00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:30,160 Speaker 1: our businesses and our workers, that the impact of doing 847 00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:33,400 Speaker 1: that in the economy will be zero. Now, you and 848 00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,279 Speaker 1: I could have an argument about whether it's going to 849 00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:37,440 Speaker 1: be a big impact or a mediate impact or a 850 00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:39,840 Speaker 1: low impact, but we do know it's not going to 851 00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:43,439 Speaker 1: be zero, right right, Yeah, I mean that's the whole 852 00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,919 Speaker 1: Dynamic scoring should be the way we do all kinds 853 00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,040 Speaker 1: of scoring. But Democrats, of course, will never give that up. 854 00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:51,520 Speaker 1: Steve Moore from the Heritage Foundation.

I know that doesn't 876 00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,719 Speaker 1: sound like so I'm on six one five, but you 877 00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:50,759 Speaker 1: know I I like academic pursuits and I followed Steve 878 00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:53,640 Speaker 1: Moore's work forever. So, by the way, it was Lauren's 879 00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:55,840 Speaker 1: idea for a guess, A huge shout out to Lauren. 880 00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:58,040 Speaker 1: I didn't even think of that. Um, he's really great, 881 00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:00,279 Speaker 1: and I was glad he came on Usteve More from 882 00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,839 Speaker 1: the Heritage Foundation to dispel some of these common myths 883 00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,560 Speaker 1: about these tax cuts, folks, which I'm gonna get through. 884 00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:07,640 Speaker 1: I want to talk to Chris Han about it later 885 00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:10,160 Speaker 1: on in the show, and Jim Jordan and Rod Bloom 886 00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:12,759 Speaker 1: as well, that these are just myths that the Democrats, 887 00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:15,920 Speaker 1: let me be nice, are not telling you the truth. 888 00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:19,520 Speaker 1: I know it's gauche to call them liars, but that 889 00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:22,279 Speaker 1: whatever their lives, they're not they're just making it up 890 00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:26,080 Speaker 1: on taxes, folks. They have no evidence at all that 891 00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:29,240 Speaker 1: what they're saying is actually true. The Tax Policy Center, 892 00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:32,560 Speaker 1: which has put out the damning account of the Trump 893 00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:36,200 Speaker 1: tax cuts, has openly acknowledged that they have no information 894 00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,040 Speaker 1: on set tax cuts. So let me get this straight. 895 00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:44,400 Speaker 1: You did a mathematic, econometric, rigorous analysis of the tax cuts. 896 00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:47,640 Speaker 1: What are the tax cuts? We don't know, but we 897 00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:52,080 Speaker 1: can really guess, and guess better than anyone. And liberals 898 00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:56,440 Speaker 1: are running around liberal jokers like Paul Krugman who pretends 899 00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:58,600 Speaker 1: to be an economist. This guy wanted Nobel Prize, Like 900 00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,560 Speaker 1: what was the Nobel Midi doing on that day? They 901 00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:03,960 Speaker 1: run around saying this is gonna blow a hole in 902 00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:07,040 Speaker 1: the deficit. Okay, here's the question for our liberal friends. 903 00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:10,440 Speaker 1: When does that happen? Where tax cuts have resulted in 904 00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:13,160 Speaker 1: a loss of revenue. Don't tell me about the deficits 905 00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:16,480 Speaker 1: that was on the spending side. Tell me where an 906 00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:19,960 Speaker 1: income tax rate cut has happened. Tell me this. Sean's 907 00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:24,080 Speaker 1: got millions of listeners. Surely someone out there. Here is 908 00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:27,439 Speaker 1: my open dare to liberals. I'm daring you to call 909 00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:31,319 Speaker 1: eight hundred nine four one seven three to six. If 910 00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:32,920 Speaker 1: you didn't have millions of listeners, I'd give you my 911 00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:35,480 Speaker 1: cell phone to call me. Call me. You know what 912 00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:37,600 Speaker 1: they did. They call me after they call me, and 913 00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:40,520 Speaker 1: then I actually meet it this time, Call me and 914 00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:44,759 Speaker 1: tell me where an income tax cut happened in the 915 00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,200 Speaker 1: history of the United States that led to a long 916 00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:50,560 Speaker 1: term or frankly even short term loss in tax revenue. 917 00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:54,239 Speaker 1: Tell me where it happened. Don't tell me about the deficits. 918 00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:57,360 Speaker 1: That was government spending driven. That was not a revenue problem. 919 00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:02,040 Speaker 1: That was a spending problem. This is liberals. This has 920 00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:05,279 Speaker 1: a name. It's called math. You really need to try 921 00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,640 Speaker 1: it sometime. And if you if you call up and 922 00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:10,640 Speaker 1: you quote the Tax Policy Center or their their left 923 00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:13,880 Speaker 1: leaning propaganda about the Trump tax package, you're gonna be 924 00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:16,400 Speaker 1: promptly laughed off the year because my first question to 925 00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:17,960 Speaker 1: you is gonna be how do you know what the 926 00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:20,839 Speaker 1: tax package is? Are you? Are you Karnak? Do you 927 00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:23,160 Speaker 1: have some kind of psychic powers? We don't know about 928 00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:26,960 Speaker 1: you fools.

And I just want to start with 984 00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:35,319 Speaker 1: this question and this premise for our liberal friends. And 985 00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:39,120 Speaker 1: I encourage all the conservatives and libertarians out there, especially 986 00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:41,600 Speaker 1: the ones on college campuses, to go to their liberal 987 00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:44,120 Speaker 1: friends and ask them this basic question I'm putting out 988 00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:46,080 Speaker 1: to the audience. And by the way, the call on 989 00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:49,480 Speaker 1: numbers eight nine, one, seven, three to six, Shawn's got 990 00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:52,040 Speaker 1: millions of listeners. No liberal as yet to call in 991 00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:54,480 Speaker 1: and and challenge me on this, because they can't. Here's 992 00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:59,200 Speaker 1: the question. When has an income tax rate cut what 993 00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:02,520 Speaker 1: Trump iss and a corporate tax rate cut, when as 994 00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:05,000 Speaker 1: an income tax rate cut led to a loss in 995 00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:07,720 Speaker 1: revenue to the federal government, Tell me when it happened. 996 00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:11,880 Speaker 1: Tell me, Come on, lips, this this can't be that hard. 997 00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:15,359 Speaker 1: You're all the you're the science party, right science? I mean, 998 00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:18,080 Speaker 1: I gotta this is incredible. I gotta use the dreaded 999 00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:21,440 Speaker 1: air quotes for this science because they have no science, 1000 00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:24,799 Speaker 1: they have nothing behind them. Surely you can tell us 1001 00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:28,200 Speaker 1: that Reagan tax cuts how the government lost so much revenue? Right, 1002 00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:31,839 Speaker 1: Surely you can produce the numbers. Come on the air, 1003 00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:38,200 Speaker 1: produce the numbers. Show us the numbers. Guys, ladies, listeners, 1004 00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:43,640 Speaker 1: loyal patriots. Do you think I would humiliate myself with 1005 00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:47,080 Speaker 1: Shawn's audience if I wasn't absolutely sure what I'm telling 1006 00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:50,560 Speaker 1: you is true. Ronald Reagan cut the tax rate from 1007 00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:54,920 Speaker 1: seventy It happened over the course of his presidency. It 1008 00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:58,440 Speaker 1: didn't happen overnight. When he entered the presidency, the government 1009 00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:01,920 Speaker 1: raised about five billion in tax revenue. When he left, 1010 00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:04,920 Speaker 1: they raised the nine hundred and nine billion. Let me 1011 00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:08,000 Speaker 1: hold on, as I usually joke with on my should 1012 00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:10,680 Speaker 1: do we need an advocus here, liberals? Do we need 1013 00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:14,560 Speaker 1: an advocus? If five hundred and five or so billion 1014 00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:17,600 Speaker 1: nine hundred nine but I'm pretty sure nine hundred nine 1015 00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:20,280 Speaker 1: billion is greater than five hundred and five billion. Please 1016 00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:22,520 Speaker 1: tell me how that's a loss in revenue. By the way, 1017 00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:26,200 Speaker 1: it's not even an inflation adjusted Lawson revenue meeting. Ronald 1018 00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:29,359 Speaker 1: Reagan cut taxes and in fact government revenue one up. 1019 00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:32,000 Speaker 1: And that's not the goal of it. I'm not arguing 1020 00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:34,279 Speaker 1: for that. I'm not telling you the goal should be 1021 00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:36,720 Speaker 1: for the government to raise revenue. The goal of tax 1022 00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:40,680 Speaker 1: cuts should be for you to raise revenue. Should be 1023 00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:43,600 Speaker 1: for your own take home pay to increase, should be 1024 00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:46,680 Speaker 1: for your own wallet to fatten up, your own business 1025 00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:49,920 Speaker 1: to fatten up, and your own ability to spend resources 1026 00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:54,360 Speaker 1: that you have worked to acquire. I'm asking you, please, 1027 00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:58,160 Speaker 1: please produce some evidence to me. Tell me how the 1028 00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:00,959 Speaker 1: George W. Bush tax cuts, Tell me what they cost 1029 00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:02,719 Speaker 1: the government money, and I will make a fool out 1030 00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:05,080 Speaker 1: of you. I go. But I'm telling you go back 1031 00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:07,759 Speaker 1: to Calvin Coolidge, go to John F. Kennedy's tax cause. 1032 00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:10,520 Speaker 1: Tell me where you want to go. The Bill Clinton 1033 00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:15,239 Speaker 1: capital gains tax cut. YEP, I said that, right? All right, 1034 00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:17,279 Speaker 1: you know what, Let's take a call Lauren. What do 1035 00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:19,600 Speaker 1: you think about taking tim there? That sounds good. They 1036 00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:22,480 Speaker 1: disagrees with me. Give it a shot, all right, Let's 1037 00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:23,960 Speaker 1: give it a shot. All right, Let's go to Tim 1038 00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:28,600 Speaker 1: and Biloxi did they say that wrong? Tim? Well, it's 1039 00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:31,000 Speaker 1: more of a you sound, but but you got close enough. 1040 00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:35,600 Speaker 1: People understandably get very upset when you say the name. 1041 00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:39,359 Speaker 1: I once said, um Oregon, and forget it. I got 1042 00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:42,120 Speaker 1: like five emails to my account the next days. People 1043 00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:45,399 Speaker 1: know my email it's Oregon. So all right, let's let's 1044 00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:47,160 Speaker 1: clear that up. All right, So you disagree with me 1045 00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:51,680 Speaker 1: about this Trump tax plan and revenue, tell me be careful. 1046 00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:53,840 Speaker 1: And I tried to explain to to the call screener. 1047 00:55:54,160 --> 00:55:56,080 Speaker 1: I am a died in the wool conservative, and I 1048 00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:58,880 Speaker 1: think taxes are far, far too high. I'm retired c 1049 00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:01,600 Speaker 1: P A. And and yeah, you had the most tax 1050 00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:04,280 Speaker 1: cuts and capital gains tax cuts, but the last really 1051 00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:07,200 Speaker 1: significant tax cut we had in this country was under 1052 00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:10,840 Speaker 1: Reagan nine eight six, tap for eighty six. Now the 1053 00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:14,200 Speaker 1: liberals will will, I mean, they're gonna pick and choose 1054 00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:16,760 Speaker 1: whatever they can. And at this point, you're right, there's 1055 00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:18,680 Speaker 1: not even a framework of what they're going to be 1056 00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:20,880 Speaker 1: proposing out there for to be picking and choosing that. 1057 00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:23,920 Speaker 1: But liberals are liberals, and so they're gonna do it anyway. 1058 00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:26,560 Speaker 1: And and I'm not I'm not trying to to to 1059 00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:30,960 Speaker 1: in any way downrade your point, if it's a true 1060 00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:35,440 Speaker 1: tax cut TEP eight six. Actual tax revenues to the 1061 00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:42,640 Speaker 1: government did decline in and okay, marginally, very very small. 1062 00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:45,960 Speaker 1: But but what the liberals will never tell you, what 1063 00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:48,960 Speaker 1: the liberals will never tell you is that's not right. 1064 00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:52,520 Speaker 1: That's not right. I'm looking at the numbers right in 1065 00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:54,960 Speaker 1: front of me because I keep a handy dandy pocket 1066 00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:56,960 Speaker 1: reference guide, because I get the I deal with this 1067 00:56:57,040 --> 00:57:00,759 Speaker 1: all the time. That's not right. I'm sorry. But the 1068 00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:03,720 Speaker 1: tax revenue and Reagan got into office was five hundred 1069 00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:07,600 Speaker 1: and seventeen billion five nine nine. It went down one 1070 00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:10,239 Speaker 1: year from a D two to eighty three, from six 1071 00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:13,520 Speaker 1: seventeen to six hundred, but one up every single year 1072 00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:17,000 Speaker 1: after that and never even approached anywhere close to the 1073 00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:19,280 Speaker 1: year when Reagan got in office. In other words, it 1074 00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:21,720 Speaker 1: went up every other than a blip on the radar, 1075 00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:24,360 Speaker 1: It went up every single year and nearly double by 1076 00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:28,280 Speaker 1: the time he left office. That's that may be total 1077 00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:31,240 Speaker 1: revenue to the government, but we're talking about taxes here. 1078 00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:35,080 Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about. So Tim, just to be clear, 1079 00:57:35,080 --> 00:57:36,600 Speaker 1: because I don't I don't want to get into the wankery. 1080 00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:38,360 Speaker 1: I don't want to bore the audience to that. Just 1081 00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:43,920 Speaker 1: to be clear, the liberal argument on this against tax 1082 00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:46,520 Speaker 1: rate cuts is that it is going to drive up 1083 00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:49,200 Speaker 1: the deficit because it's gonna starve the government of revenue. 1084 00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:54,040 Speaker 1: That is not true. We have cut income tax rates before, 1085 00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:58,440 Speaker 1: and government revenue has gone up and up and up 1086 00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:01,040 Speaker 1: every time from a growing economy. That's the only point 1087 00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:04,000 Speaker 1: I'm making. I'm not making a causal inference. I'm not. 1088 00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:08,280 Speaker 1: I'm just telling you that the liberal talking point is garbage. 1089 00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:11,720 Speaker 1: It is not factually correct. Can we agree on that? 1090 00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:14,680 Speaker 1: We do. We do agree on that. We do agree 1091 00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:18,280 Speaker 1: on that. But you also and this is gonna get wonky, Okay, 1092 00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:21,880 Speaker 1: keep it sure. I can Okay, I can cut tax 1093 00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:27,320 Speaker 1: rates across the board by and give nobody a tax cut. 1094 00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:31,600 Speaker 1: And that is the danger that we're we're facing right 1095 00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:35,600 Speaker 1: now with the establishment Republicans that are in Congress. If 1096 00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:39,800 Speaker 1: if I if I reduced the rates by okay, but 1097 00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:44,000 Speaker 1: I increase I assume me I decrease the tears that 1098 00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:47,040 Speaker 1: with those rates are charged. I can cut the rates 1099 00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:50,320 Speaker 1: and raise taxes. And I understand where you're going with that. 1100 00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:51,800 Speaker 1: I mean there's a number of other ways to do 1101 00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:53,680 Speaker 1: it as well. I mean, there are deductions out there 1102 00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:55,919 Speaker 1: that are gonna way and basically what you may see 1103 00:58:55,920 --> 00:58:59,480 Speaker 1: a nominal increase some people, especially in Northeastern states, of 1104 00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:02,360 Speaker 1: their tag sload if they lose the state local deduction. 1105 00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:05,080 Speaker 1: So I gotta run. Tim. I appreciate the call. Always 1106 00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:07,760 Speaker 1: appreciate a uh. I don't want to say contrarian point 1107 00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:09,520 Speaker 1: of view, but an educated point of view from the 1108 00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:11,320 Speaker 1: other side. But folks, the bottom line is this. This 1109 00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:13,480 Speaker 1: is the point I'm trying to make that your liberal 1110 00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:16,040 Speaker 1: friends simply cannot refute. And Tim was not a liberal, 1111 00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:20,120 Speaker 1: to be clear, is good guy, But ask them this 1112 00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:25,000 Speaker 1: simple question. Did tax revenue go up or down after 1113 00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:29,040 Speaker 1: the tax cuts? That's the only thing. Uh. This is 1114 00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:32,400 Speaker 1: what's so frustrating about being a conservative in this modern 1115 00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:35,960 Speaker 1: media environment where they say things patently false and just 1116 00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:39,640 Speaker 1: unbelievably stupid, and it's parroted over and over again. The 1117 00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:42,880 Speaker 1: liberal talking point is not true, folks, It's not true. 1118 00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:45,840 Speaker 1: It is meaning there is no evidence for it at all. 1119 00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:49,040 Speaker 1: We have cut taxes in the past. I'm not saying 1120 00:59:49,080 --> 00:59:52,080 Speaker 1: it was causal. I'm telling you the tax revenue has 1121 00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:55,600 Speaker 1: gone up. They I don't know how any easier way 1122 00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:58,320 Speaker 1: to say this? What is gosh, what is this Tax 1123 00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:00,800 Speaker 1: Policy Center dot org? Go look at the tax tables 1124 01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:02,800 Speaker 1: I keep in hand. You actually have a screenshot on 1125 01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:05,480 Speaker 1: my phone because I get this all the time. They 1126 01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:09,520 Speaker 1: will torture the statistics till Kingdom come. They'll say, oh, 1127 01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:12,040 Speaker 1: my gosh, no, but as a percentage of g d 1128 01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:14,760 Speaker 1: P and well when you when you adjusted for inflation, 1129 01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:17,120 Speaker 1: it's smaller than the nominal one. Well, of course that's 1130 01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:21,360 Speaker 1: the case. But they cannot refute the very simple question 1131 01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:23,520 Speaker 1: I put out there. Show me where tax revenue has 1132 01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:25,840 Speaker 1: gone down after a tax cuts. Show me, show me 1133 01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:29,120 Speaker 1: the money, remember Cuba Gooding journey, Show me the money. 1134 01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:33,240 Speaker 1: Show me. You can't because you're making it up. Therefore, 1135 01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:37,160 Speaker 1: the entire premise of the liberal talking point is just bunk. 1136 01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:40,320 Speaker 1: It's nonsense. And folks, this is for a very simple reason. 1137 01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:46,160 Speaker 1: This is my explanation. It's it's not proprietary. It's certainly 1138 01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:49,360 Speaker 1: shared by many, I think mainstream economists out there as well. 1139 01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:55,120 Speaker 1: You know Milton Friedman, who was a genius. Freedman had 1140 01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:58,560 Speaker 1: a really elegant way of explaining what happens to money 1141 01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:01,960 Speaker 1: in the free market economy. He said, when you spend 1142 01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:04,440 Speaker 1: your money on yourself a free market, you earn it, 1143 01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:10,240 Speaker 1: you spend it. This is important. Cost and quality matter. Why. Well, 1144 01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:14,000 Speaker 1: it's quite simple, folks. It's your money. So the quality 1145 01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:16,000 Speaker 1: of what you're buying is going to matter. With your money, 1146 01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:18,800 Speaker 1: you don't want to buy crap. And the cost of 1147 01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:22,680 Speaker 1: what you're purchasing matters too, because it's your money. Therefore, 1148 01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:26,040 Speaker 1: you buy hopefully good products and you go and shop 1149 01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:29,120 Speaker 1: for the best and most effective costs, which incentivizes, by 1150 01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:32,960 Speaker 1: the way, providers to provide an effective cost and quality 1151 01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:35,480 Speaker 1: products because that's what people do when they spend their 1152 01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:40,080 Speaker 1: own money. Well, Friedman had this continuum the four ways 1153 01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:42,720 Speaker 1: to spend money, and the fourth way was the government 1154 01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:47,920 Speaker 1: other people spending other people's money on other people. And 1155 01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:51,680 Speaker 1: the reason money multiplies in the free market economy and 1156 01:01:51,720 --> 01:01:55,160 Speaker 1: divides and when the government takes it is because when 1157 01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:57,640 Speaker 1: other people spend other people's money on other people, which 1158 01:01:57,680 --> 01:02:00,400 Speaker 1: is government spending, taking your money and spending it others, 1159 01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:06,040 Speaker 1: neither cost nor quality matter. It's not your money and 1160 01:02:06,120 --> 01:02:09,000 Speaker 1: it's not your product either. So what do you care? 1161 01:02:09,080 --> 01:02:11,240 Speaker 1: What do you care about the cost you're spending taxpayer money. 1162 01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:13,280 Speaker 1: What do you care about the quality. You're not even 1163 01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:16,959 Speaker 1: buying anything for yourself, You're buying it for taxpayers. Who 1164 01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:20,320 Speaker 1: cares if the quality of the products any good. That's 1165 01:02:20,440 --> 01:02:27,000 Speaker 1: why government spending divides money, while free market spending multiplies money. Therefore, 1166 01:02:27,040 --> 01:02:30,320 Speaker 1: when it multiplies money, even at lower tax rates, we 1167 01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:34,000 Speaker 1: are taking a bigger cut of a bigger pie. Folks, 1168 01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:37,320 Speaker 1: this is not complicated. It's only complicated to silly liberals 1169 01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:40,880 Speaker 1: who are absolutely obsessed with the idea that government should 1170 01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:44,920 Speaker 1: control the economy. They are obsessed with big es state tactics, 1171 01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:48,360 Speaker 1: control of your education, control of the economy, control of healthcare, 1172 01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:52,240 Speaker 1: control of the bureaucratic red tape machine. They are obsessed 1173 01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:54,960 Speaker 1: with control. I can make the case to you strongly. 1174 01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:57,920 Speaker 1: Liberals don't care about increasing tax revenue to the government. 1175 01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:00,560 Speaker 1: They care about controlling the tax revenue that comes into 1176 01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:02,400 Speaker 1: the company. How can I make that case to you 1177 01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:05,840 Speaker 1: because tax revenue is gone up after tax cuts in 1178 01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:08,840 Speaker 1: the path. This is not complicated, folks. All right, I'm 1179 01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:11,600 Speaker 1: Dan Bongino in for Shawn at the Bongino on Twitter. 1180 01:03:11,640 --> 01:03:14,160 Speaker 1: If you want to send comments, criticisms, whatever.

I'm 1281 01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:41,559 Speaker 1: trying to get you to comment on the what happened 1282 01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:44,960 Speaker 1: with the Appo research they paid for information we can agree, 1283 01:08:45,040 --> 01:08:47,519 Speaker 1: both agree the majority of which was bogus. It's been 1284 01:08:47,560 --> 01:08:52,280 Speaker 1: debunk Trump was not using golden showers or whatever already. 1285 01:08:52,479 --> 01:08:53,920 Speaker 1: I don't even care what. I don't even want. It's 1286 01:08:53,960 --> 01:08:57,400 Speaker 1: a family friendly show. That information. Chris made it into 1287 01:08:57,439 --> 01:09:01,040 Speaker 1: a presidential daily brief on Baraco by his desk and 1288 01:09:01,120 --> 01:09:04,479 Speaker 1: may have been used in Affid David's to get wire 1289 01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:08,559 Speaker 1: taps for a counterintelligence investigation. That doesn't concern you even 1290 01:09:08,600 --> 01:09:11,360 Speaker 1: a little bit. Well, look, not everything in that uh 1291 01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:14,400 Speaker 1: dossier has been debunked. I mean, I'll give you the 1292 01:09:14,400 --> 01:09:18,120 Speaker 1: the delicious deed proud, but a lot of this stuff 1293 01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:22,639 Speaker 1: tell the things that have been going on that hasn't 1294 01:09:22,680 --> 01:09:24,560 Speaker 1: been debunked, and I think that there's still needs it 1295 01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:29,080 Speaker 1: still needs to be. My bigger problem with the doki 1296 01:09:29,200 --> 01:09:34,960 Speaker 1: A research teams that the to use it with any 1297 01:09:34,960 --> 01:09:38,040 Speaker 1: good effect to get elected. Uh you know, so it 1298 01:09:38,160 --> 01:09:42,280 Speaker 1: is a big problem to me how incompetent that campaign was, Chris. 1299 01:09:42,320 --> 01:09:45,360 Speaker 1: I have a big problem with what you said there though. Listen, 1300 01:09:45,400 --> 01:09:48,320 Speaker 1: I'm just being candidate because again we throw blows all 1301 01:09:48,320 --> 01:09:51,040 Speaker 1: the time here, but this that is a crap excuse 1302 01:09:51,080 --> 01:09:53,200 Speaker 1: And I think you're selling out here. If this was 1303 01:09:53,280 --> 01:09:57,880 Speaker 1: Barack Obama, and god forbid the let's let's just say, um, 1304 01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:01,600 Speaker 1: the McCain campaign for the original Obama elect if the 1305 01:10:01,680 --> 01:10:06,400 Speaker 1: McCain campaign had a dossier on Obama that said he 1306 01:10:06,479 --> 01:10:09,280 Speaker 1: was born on Mars, and that made it into a 1307 01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:12,320 Speaker 1: presidential daily brief, and some component that dossie it was true. 1308 01:10:12,360 --> 01:10:14,080 Speaker 1: They said, like and by the way, his middle name 1309 01:10:14,120 --> 01:10:16,759 Speaker 1: is Hussein, which is true. Not who cares, but that's true. 1310 01:10:17,640 --> 01:10:20,280 Speaker 1: So that's true. But the fact that Barack Obama was 1311 01:10:20,320 --> 01:10:24,200 Speaker 1: born on Mars made it into a presidential daily brief 1312 01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:27,240 Speaker 1: on the desk of the sitting president and was used 1313 01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:32,599 Speaker 1: to then in turn, potentially wire tap the Barack Obama's campaign. Chris, 1314 01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:35,280 Speaker 1: come on, don't don't you know, don't be you know 1315 01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:38,880 Speaker 1: you be kissed. Damn. But I skipping a step here, Okay, 1316 01:10:38,880 --> 01:10:42,080 Speaker 1: I don't think we know exactly why wire taps were 1317 01:10:42,080 --> 01:10:45,439 Speaker 1: issued against Paul Manaport. We do know why. Paul Manaport 1318 01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:47,960 Speaker 1: was clearly in bed with the Russians. He was clearly 1319 01:10:47,960 --> 01:10:49,680 Speaker 1: working for a Russian all our ark, and it was 1320 01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:52,839 Speaker 1: odd how he became all of a sudden the chairman 1321 01:10:52,840 --> 01:10:54,960 Speaker 1: of the Donald Trump campaign. I don't know that Donald 1322 01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:58,280 Speaker 1: Trump intentionally hired guy who was coloting with the Russians. 1323 01:10:58,280 --> 01:11:01,120 Speaker 1: But Paul man was good with the Russians, and it 1324 01:11:01,200 --> 01:11:03,720 Speaker 1: doesn't to hear that Michael Flynn was too. Now I'm 1325 01:11:03,720 --> 01:11:05,880 Speaker 1: not here accusing the president of that. I don't know 1326 01:11:06,200 --> 01:11:08,720 Speaker 1: what the president knew, but what I do know is 1327 01:11:08,760 --> 01:11:10,559 Speaker 1: that there were other things here. So we can't just 1328 01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:13,679 Speaker 1: jump Now, look how opposition research from a popal party 1329 01:11:13,720 --> 01:11:18,439 Speaker 1: that is not necessarily proven, especially for the presidential daily breathing. 1330 01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:20,679 Speaker 1: There needs to be some answers about that. But there's 1331 01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:24,919 Speaker 1: some other things that led to wirecapa and during the campaign. Well, Chris, 1332 01:11:24,920 --> 01:11:27,519 Speaker 1: but that's not true. Okay, Well, you don't have evidence 1333 01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:31,639 Speaker 1: that that Mike Flynn or Manafort colluded with the Russians. 1334 01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:34,760 Speaker 1: You may have some evidence that there were some lobbying 1335 01:11:34,840 --> 01:11:38,680 Speaker 1: and there was some administrative oversight there. And I'm not 1336 01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:41,240 Speaker 1: their lawyers. I'm just saying that you don't have any 1337 01:11:41,280 --> 01:11:44,000 Speaker 1: evidence they colluded. You, how do you know that. I 1338 01:11:44,040 --> 01:11:46,759 Speaker 1: don't think that anybody on the right wants to defend 1339 01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:49,120 Speaker 1: Paul Manafort, and I didn't noticed that nobody on the 1340 01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:53,880 Speaker 1: right is well, Chris I'm just defending the facts. Look, 1341 01:11:53,920 --> 01:11:57,760 Speaker 1: the fact that I know right now Paul Managed was 1342 01:11:57,920 --> 01:12:01,360 Speaker 1: in bed, that's a person case and millions of dollars 1343 01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:06,719 Speaker 1: with Tony Podesta. No no, no, no, wait wait wait, 1344 01:12:06,720 --> 01:12:09,599 Speaker 1: time out of red flag under the hood for review. 1345 01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:13,160 Speaker 1: What Tony Podesta? Who who was, by the way, the 1346 01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:17,640 Speaker 1: brother of John Podesta, the Hillary Clinton consigliari was involved 1347 01:12:17,640 --> 01:12:20,640 Speaker 1: in the exact same lobbying efforts is Mataphors, So you 1348 01:12:20,680 --> 01:12:23,920 Speaker 1: only care but it's Manafort. Come on, come on, what 1349 01:12:24,280 --> 01:12:27,000 Speaker 1: I missed that sor? Is he his brother's keeper? You 1350 01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:30,760 Speaker 1: and I brothers man? But you're making the case that 1351 01:12:30,800 --> 01:12:35,120 Speaker 1: manaforts Trump's keeper even though he fired Mataphor was Trump's 1352 01:12:35,120 --> 01:12:38,560 Speaker 1: campaign chairman and he fired him the Russian and he 1353 01:12:38,680 --> 01:12:41,360 Speaker 1: fired him. But but the fact that Tony Podesta's John 1354 01:12:41,360 --> 01:12:44,840 Speaker 1: Podesta's brother, forget that, that's that's that's sixty two times 1355 01:12:44,840 --> 01:12:47,479 Speaker 1: removed seven degrees of Kevin Baking. He also put Michael 1356 01:12:47,520 --> 01:12:52,280 Speaker 1: Flynn in a position of great national security, uh, knowing 1357 01:12:52,640 --> 01:12:55,160 Speaker 1: that Michael Flynn had some issues. So we have to 1358 01:12:55,240 --> 01:12:58,240 Speaker 1: wonder that's really you know, look, those two things are 1359 01:12:58,240 --> 01:13:00,280 Speaker 1: the things the American people need to understand and I'm 1360 01:13:00,320 --> 01:13:03,240 Speaker 1: not necessarily saying the presidency is anything wrong, but I 1361 01:13:03,280 --> 01:13:05,479 Speaker 1: think the American people need to know how that came 1362 01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:08,040 Speaker 1: about and the people who put the president in that position. 1363 01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:11,000 Speaker 1: The president himself should be hoping that the people who 1364 01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:13,720 Speaker 1: put him in that position are brought to jump. All right, Well, 1365 01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:16,360 Speaker 1: if you want information on that, can we all agree 1366 01:13:16,560 --> 01:13:19,519 Speaker 1: that we should at least get information as well on 1367 01:13:19,560 --> 01:13:22,479 Speaker 1: the trail of money that flowed to Russian intelligence operatives 1368 01:13:22,520 --> 01:13:25,479 Speaker 1: and how that information made it into potential Affidavid's in 1369 01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:28,200 Speaker 1: front of a court for wire taps. Can you you know, 1370 01:13:28,280 --> 01:13:30,320 Speaker 1: you know what's gonna be most embarrassing when we find 1371 01:13:30,320 --> 01:13:32,639 Speaker 1: out that Ryan's previous is the first person who started 1372 01:13:32,640 --> 01:13:35,559 Speaker 1: this death Saucier. That's gonna be the most embarrassing part. Well, 1373 01:13:35,600 --> 01:13:37,360 Speaker 1: we don't know that. I don't know that, And all 1374 01:13:37,400 --> 01:13:39,800 Speaker 1: I know is that dossier part was the Democrats the 1375 01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:43,120 Speaker 1: initial APO. No, no, no, yes, no, I have that. 1376 01:13:43,439 --> 01:13:47,240 Speaker 1: I know the dates, Chris, Chris, don't embarrass yourself. April 1377 01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:50,960 Speaker 1: that at April the the Republicans forfeited the case and 1378 01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:53,760 Speaker 1: the Democrats took over the Fusion GPS file. And it 1379 01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:57,439 Speaker 1: was after April that the dossier and Christopher Steel were hired. 1380 01:13:57,439 --> 01:14:02,280 Speaker 1: That is absolutely true, Dan. It was started by Republicans, 1381 01:14:01,680 --> 01:14:06,280 Speaker 1: not one single candidate, but Republicans. And we're gonna find 1382 01:14:06,280 --> 01:14:08,559 Speaker 1: out who paid for it, and not just on the 1383 01:14:08,600 --> 01:14:11,000 Speaker 1: Democratic side. I think we're gonna find out a Monday. Actually, 1384 01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:13,639 Speaker 1: they're gonna release the information and we're gonna find out 1385 01:14:13,760 --> 01:14:16,640 Speaker 1: who for it. I leave to say I think I 1386 01:14:16,680 --> 01:14:18,960 Speaker 1: know and um on it, but I'll leave that for 1387 01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:20,360 Speaker 1: another day. All right, this because I only got a 1388 01:14:20,400 --> 01:14:21,760 Speaker 1: couple of minutes with it. Might have been it might 1389 01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:23,920 Speaker 1: have been a low energy candidate that paid for it, 1390 01:14:24,080 --> 01:14:27,880 Speaker 1: something like that. I have my suspicions about what Republican 1391 01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:29,880 Speaker 1: was involved in this one. And I think I'm I'm 1392 01:14:29,920 --> 01:14:32,200 Speaker 1: pretty and I know a group of people who get 1393 01:14:32,439 --> 01:14:35,320 Speaker 1: very very nervous anytime I tweet them about it. But listen, 1394 01:14:35,320 --> 01:14:37,040 Speaker 1: I gotta get it you. I gotta get your your 1395 01:14:37,080 --> 01:14:38,439 Speaker 1: take on this as well, because I want to talk 1396 01:14:38,439 --> 01:14:39,760 Speaker 1: about two things. I only have a couple of minutes. 1397 01:14:39,800 --> 01:14:44,000 Speaker 1: I'm the tax cuts. Trump's fighting for these tax cuts. 1398 01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:46,400 Speaker 1: The Democrat talking point are these tax cuts for the rich. 1399 01:14:46,560 --> 01:14:48,599 Speaker 1: There's no evidence for that at all. When we've done 1400 01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:50,840 Speaker 1: tax cuts like these in the past, the rich have 1401 01:14:50,920 --> 01:14:53,559 Speaker 1: actually paid more in tax revenue has gone up. Why 1402 01:14:53,560 --> 01:14:55,720 Speaker 1: do liberals continue to lie about this when they can 1403 01:14:55,760 --> 01:14:58,880 Speaker 1: just research the data themselves. Well, the data is very clear. 1404 01:14:59,479 --> 01:15:01,439 Speaker 1: The tax cut goes to the top one percent eight 1405 01:15:01,520 --> 01:15:03,880 Speaker 1: percent of the dollar value of the tax cuts. Does 1406 01:15:03,920 --> 01:15:07,280 Speaker 1: the top one percent? Well, Chris, Chris, who pays the taxes? 1407 01:15:07,920 --> 01:15:10,200 Speaker 1: I'm not a look, I am not against tax cut. 1408 01:15:10,400 --> 01:15:12,160 Speaker 1: Well no, no, no, no, no, time out. You just did. 1409 01:15:12,720 --> 01:15:14,479 Speaker 1: How can you give tax cuts to people that don't 1410 01:15:14,479 --> 01:15:16,800 Speaker 1: pay taxes? What do you think the percentage of the 1411 01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:19,519 Speaker 1: tax load the top pay is? What do you give 1412 01:15:19,520 --> 01:15:23,479 Speaker 1: me a ga? No? No, no, who do you? Chris? 1413 01:15:23,520 --> 01:15:25,360 Speaker 1: You can't give tax cuts people who don't pay taxes, 1414 01:15:25,479 --> 01:15:28,559 Speaker 1: the people who pay taxes the top what? Wait, wait, 1415 01:15:28,600 --> 01:15:31,680 Speaker 1: answer this question because this will established going forward. What 1416 01:15:31,840 --> 01:15:33,960 Speaker 1: percentage of the tax load do you think the top 1417 01:15:33,960 --> 01:15:36,800 Speaker 1: twenty percent pay? I know the percentage. It is very 1418 01:15:36,920 --> 01:15:40,640 Speaker 1: very high. Yeah, it's so, how can you give a 1419 01:15:40,680 --> 01:15:43,120 Speaker 1: tax cut the people who will pay tax man? Dan, 1420 01:15:43,240 --> 01:15:46,400 Speaker 1: here's my problem. Okay, just be honest about it. Then 1421 01:15:46,640 --> 01:15:49,400 Speaker 1: why the president and the converse saying that this is 1422 01:15:49,400 --> 01:15:51,719 Speaker 1: a tax cut for the middle class and the working class. 1423 01:15:51,720 --> 01:15:53,720 Speaker 1: The guys showing up at the Trump roundy. It's not 1424 01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:55,880 Speaker 1: it's a it's a it's a it's a tax took 1425 01:15:55,920 --> 01:15:58,360 Speaker 1: for you and me. And and that's the problem for 1426 01:15:58,360 --> 01:16:00,519 Speaker 1: for for me, because it's not being honest. I'm not 1427 01:16:00,640 --> 01:16:02,680 Speaker 1: against tax up. I do not want to see the 1428 01:16:02,680 --> 01:16:05,760 Speaker 1: state and local deduction remote. I'm not I'm not for that, 1429 01:16:05,800 --> 01:16:07,200 Speaker 1: And I want to see more of the money going 1430 01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:10,120 Speaker 1: into the middle and working class people who do pay tax. Yeah, 1431 01:16:10,120 --> 01:16:13,160 Speaker 1: but Chris, they are talking about lowering the tax rate 1432 01:16:13,240 --> 01:16:15,040 Speaker 1: from people. No one has the numbers, by the way 1433 01:16:15,040 --> 01:16:17,200 Speaker 1: of the break, so I can't comment intelligently on it, 1434 01:16:17,200 --> 01:16:19,920 Speaker 1: because neither I nor you know what the numbers are yet. 1435 01:16:20,120 --> 01:16:22,880 Speaker 1: But the conversations that have been been happening behind the 1436 01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:25,639 Speaker 1: scenes are clearly a reduction in the rates for middle 1437 01:16:25,680 --> 01:16:27,560 Speaker 1: class earners. Well, I mean, why is that. Well, I 1438 01:16:27,560 --> 01:16:29,720 Speaker 1: do understand where you're doing with this. The President said 1439 01:16:29,720 --> 01:16:33,479 Speaker 1: he wouldn't benefit from it. Is that the president president's 1440 01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:36,439 Speaker 1: middle class. He's a billionaire. The President said he wouldn't 1441 01:16:36,439 --> 01:16:39,400 Speaker 1: benefit from the tax breaks. Now I did the math 1442 01:16:39,600 --> 01:16:41,800 Speaker 1: just on the estate tax, and it seems like he's 1443 01:16:41,800 --> 01:16:44,559 Speaker 1: getting a couple of billion dollars. Well, I don't know 1444 01:16:44,640 --> 01:16:48,519 Speaker 1: his personal finances, so I had he says he's worth 1445 01:16:48,520 --> 01:16:51,479 Speaker 1: eleven billion dollars. So if he's leaving the eleven billion 1446 01:16:51,520 --> 01:16:54,840 Speaker 1: to Dodd Jr. And the others and Avanka and you know, 1447 01:16:54,880 --> 01:16:59,200 Speaker 1: hopefully Tiffany gets some there some money. Right, One last question, 1448 01:16:59,200 --> 01:17:01,360 Speaker 1: So let me because clearly you're gonna go down that right. 1449 01:17:01,400 --> 01:17:03,479 Speaker 1: I dispute strongly that this is a tax cut for 1450 01:17:03,520 --> 01:17:06,960 Speaker 1: the rich, but the wealthy pay the overwhelming majority of taxes. 1451 01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:08,960 Speaker 1: Let me just ask you this question and we'll roll 1452 01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:10,840 Speaker 1: from here. Is I gotta run off this. I'm talking 1453 01:17:10,880 --> 01:17:12,960 Speaker 1: to Chris Han of the Chris Han SHO. By the way, Chris, 1454 01:17:13,400 --> 01:17:16,439 Speaker 1: why does the government why should the rich, as you say, 1455 01:17:16,439 --> 01:17:18,200 Speaker 1: why should the rich give more of their money to 1456 01:17:18,240 --> 01:17:20,280 Speaker 1: the government. What is the government gonna do to it 1457 01:17:20,280 --> 01:17:23,439 Speaker 1: that the people who earned it won't? I look, I 1458 01:17:23,479 --> 01:17:26,200 Speaker 1: want the rich to pay their fair share. Oh, here 1459 01:17:26,200 --> 01:17:29,840 Speaker 1: we go. I want to share, and I want to 1460 01:17:29,880 --> 01:17:33,479 Speaker 1: see working class people see some tax release, particularly from 1461 01:17:33,479 --> 01:17:37,120 Speaker 1: the typical payroll taxes that they pay every single week. 1462 01:17:37,120 --> 01:17:39,200 Speaker 1: I think a large tunk of their salary. Brother, that 1463 01:17:39,320 --> 01:17:41,519 Speaker 1: was painful to hear. The fair share did you have 1464 01:17:41,560 --> 01:17:44,439 Speaker 1: that on an index card. Did you get? You will get? 1465 01:17:44,840 --> 01:17:49,360 Speaker 1: I just told you the top pay nine of the taxes. 1466 01:17:49,439 --> 01:17:52,000 Speaker 1: What's the fair share of a hundred? Dad? Dad? Dan? 1467 01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:53,960 Speaker 1: That is your show to line when it comes to me. 1468 01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:57,400 Speaker 1: You always excuse me the talking point, I do. I 1469 01:17:57,000 --> 01:17:59,280 Speaker 1: I nailed you with that one. I fox you didn't 1470 01:17:59,320 --> 01:18:01,479 Speaker 1: like that, did you? You were pissed at that? I 1471 01:18:01,520 --> 01:18:03,320 Speaker 1: could see it. No, No, I want you to get 1472 01:18:03,320 --> 01:18:04,559 Speaker 1: that right up. I want you to come up with 1473 01:18:04,600 --> 01:18:06,080 Speaker 1: something new. I want you to be a better part. 1474 01:18:06,240 --> 01:18:09,479 Speaker 1: I'll try you, all right, all right. I like you. 1475 01:18:09,560 --> 01:18:11,920 Speaker 1: I get it. You don't like I understand I did. 1476 01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:14,200 Speaker 1: I called you captain talking point or something that was 1477 01:18:14,280 --> 01:18:16,760 Speaker 1: not cool. So you have my on air apologies because 1478 01:18:16,760 --> 01:18:18,960 Speaker 1: you are a nice dude and I like you, and 1479 01:18:19,120 --> 01:18:21,680 Speaker 1: you really defend your position, although I think you are 1480 01:18:21,840 --> 01:18:26,240 Speaker 1: unbelievably this guy in it.

I think he's wrong, but I appreciate 1487 01:18:38,680 --> 01:18:41,080 Speaker 1: them coming on defending their position as passionately as they 1488 01:18:41,080 --> 01:18:42,800 Speaker 1: can't always make fun your radio.

You know it's obvious. I'm really passionate 1495 01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:32,559 Speaker 1: again about this tax thing, and I appreciate Chris Han 1496 01:19:32,680 --> 01:19:35,479 Speaker 1: coming on, but I know where the Democrats are gonna 1497 01:19:35,479 --> 01:19:37,240 Speaker 1: go with this. I know there are liberal listeners out there. 1498 01:19:37,280 --> 01:19:38,920 Speaker 1: We actually had a caller before. If you have time, 1499 01:19:38,920 --> 01:19:41,360 Speaker 1: when we may get them back, but um calling it 1500 01:19:41,479 --> 01:19:43,840 Speaker 1: about Kansas and the tax cuts, and kansaying, well, look 1501 01:19:43,880 --> 01:19:46,120 Speaker 1: what happened in Kansas. Number one, I'm talking about federal 1502 01:19:46,160 --> 01:19:48,280 Speaker 1: tax cuts. I thought that was clear Ronald Reagan was 1503 01:19:48,320 --> 01:19:51,240 Speaker 1: not the president of Kansas or a state, uh that 1504 01:19:51,320 --> 01:19:53,799 Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan was president United States. I'm talking about federal 1505 01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:57,080 Speaker 1: tax cuts. The dynamics of tax cuts at the federal 1506 01:19:57,160 --> 01:20:00,120 Speaker 1: level work far differently than at the state level for 1507 01:20:00,160 --> 01:20:03,800 Speaker 1: obvious reasons. Liberals, um, states can't print their own money. 1508 01:20:04,040 --> 01:20:06,880 Speaker 1: Last time I checked, right, Um? Am I wrong? I 1509 01:20:06,920 --> 01:20:09,960 Speaker 1: mean there's no you know, federal reserve note uh you 1510 01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:12,720 Speaker 1: know colon slash New York only right, It doesn't work 1511 01:20:12,760 --> 01:20:15,720 Speaker 1: that way. States can't print money. A lot of them 1512 01:20:15,720 --> 01:20:18,880 Speaker 1: are obligated by their own constitutions to balance their budget. 1513 01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:21,200 Speaker 1: There was a tax cut in Kansas. Long and short 1514 01:20:21,240 --> 01:20:24,200 Speaker 1: of it is this it was designed. There was a 1515 01:20:24,240 --> 01:20:28,519 Speaker 1: flaw in the design that allowed people to recharacterize their 1516 01:20:28,520 --> 01:20:32,000 Speaker 1: income is business income, which wound up in a tax shortfall. 1517 01:20:32,280 --> 01:20:34,639 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna deny at all, just so we're crystal 1518 01:20:34,680 --> 01:20:36,920 Speaker 1: clear on the data and the evidence here that there 1519 01:20:36,920 --> 01:20:39,240 Speaker 1: are states who have come up with tax shortfalls all 1520 01:20:39,280 --> 01:20:42,240 Speaker 1: the time, tax cuts, tax hikes, It's all over the place. 1521 01:20:42,280 --> 01:20:45,760 Speaker 1: No matter how high California raises its tax rate, it 1522 01:20:45,760 --> 01:20:47,599 Speaker 1: seems to always have a short fall. Same in New 1523 01:20:47,680 --> 01:20:50,280 Speaker 1: York State and other places. I'm talking about the federal 1524 01:20:50,360 --> 01:20:53,519 Speaker 1: government because again I find it funny that liberals keep 1525 01:20:53,560 --> 01:20:56,200 Speaker 1: bringing up Kansas and they ignore the positive effects of 1526 01:20:56,240 --> 01:21:00,240 Speaker 1: the Kansas tax cuts as well, like unemployment dropping the 1527 01:21:00,280 --> 01:21:02,800 Speaker 1: lowest level they had in sixteen years, job growth like, 1528 01:21:02,840 --> 01:21:05,120 Speaker 1: they ignore all of that. And by the way, government 1529 01:21:05,200 --> 01:21:07,880 Speaker 1: spending in Kansas did not go down because a bunch 1530 01:21:07,920 --> 01:21:11,160 Speaker 1: of Rhino Republicans and a lot of liberal Democrats insisted 1531 01:21:11,240 --> 01:21:13,360 Speaker 1: on spending the same amount of money they spent before, 1532 01:21:13,560 --> 01:21:16,320 Speaker 1: surprising absolutely no one then that there was a short fall. 1533 01:21:16,880 --> 01:21:19,439 Speaker 1: But that's their thing. In Kansas. They avoid Texas, they 1534 01:21:19,479 --> 01:21:23,120 Speaker 1: avoid Florida. You know, it's just ridiculous. Alright, folks, if 1535 01:21:23,120 --> 01:21:25,360 Speaker 1: you haven't checked it out yet, by the way, please 1536 01:21:25,400 --> 01:21:27,800 Speaker 1: go look at Shawn Stoomer's coming out today.

I think there's obviously a 1593 01:25:08,880 --> 01:25:11,040 Speaker 1: lot of disagreements on spending levels, but at least for 1594 01:25:11,080 --> 01:25:14,360 Speaker 1: the tax reform component of this. I guess my question 1595 01:25:14,360 --> 01:25:18,120 Speaker 1: to you is after the failure to get rid of Obamacare, 1596 01:25:18,160 --> 01:25:20,040 Speaker 1: which I I you know, I know you're really in 1597 01:25:20,040 --> 01:25:22,240 Speaker 1: touch with the grassroots.

Please tell 1599 01:25:25,720 --> 01:25:27,960 Speaker 1: me the chances of this tax reform are pretty good? 1600 01:25:27,960 --> 01:25:31,200 Speaker 1: I mean, what's your take from I think they are 1601 01:25:31,240 --> 01:25:33,800 Speaker 1: pretty good. You know, I think if against this House, 1602 01:25:33,960 --> 01:25:35,800 Speaker 1: you never know about the Senate, but I think they've 1603 01:25:35,840 --> 01:25:37,519 Speaker 1: been home, and you know, I hope they've had a 1604 01:25:37,520 --> 01:25:40,720 Speaker 1: little uh uh, come to Jesus moment with their constituents. 1605 01:25:40,720 --> 01:25:44,760 Speaker 1: Because remember, and you know this, six Republican senators voted 1606 01:25:44,800 --> 01:25:47,559 Speaker 1: against healthcare bill, voted against the very same legislation that 1607 01:25:47,560 --> 01:25:50,840 Speaker 1: they voted for twenty months ago, the clean repeal legislation 1608 01:25:50,840 --> 01:25:53,479 Speaker 1: that we put on President Obama's best last INFESTI. And 1609 01:25:53,560 --> 01:25:54,960 Speaker 1: so I don't know how you do that. I know 1610 01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:56,479 Speaker 1: how you vote against the very thing you voted for 1611 01:25:56,479 --> 01:25:58,000 Speaker 1: and what you told the voters you were gonna do, 1612 01:25:58,600 --> 01:26:00,840 Speaker 1: and then when it's time and it really ounce, uh, 1613 01:26:00,920 --> 01:26:03,280 Speaker 1: you vote against it. So I think they they probably 1614 01:26:03,320 --> 01:26:06,000 Speaker 1: got an earful from their constituents, and I think it'll 1615 01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:07,599 Speaker 1: get the tax bill will get out of the House 1616 01:26:07,640 --> 01:26:09,839 Speaker 1: and then over over to the Senate, and hopefully they've 1617 01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:12,760 Speaker 1: seen the lightning under the right thing. Oh gosh, I'm 1618 01:26:12,800 --> 01:26:16,320 Speaker 1: glad you say that, Congress from Blum from your perspective here, now, 1619 01:26:16,680 --> 01:26:20,160 Speaker 1: we've seen some incredible economic numbers since the presidency is 1620 01:26:20,200 --> 01:26:23,679 Speaker 1: transferred from a democratic administration to obviously President Trump. Now 1621 01:26:23,960 --> 01:26:26,960 Speaker 1: the economy has been frankly on a tear. Remember when 1622 01:26:27,000 --> 01:26:30,479 Speaker 1: the secular stagnation people, the Democrats told us we'd never 1623 01:26:30,520 --> 01:26:33,000 Speaker 1: see three percent growth again, and now we've seen it 1624 01:26:33,040 --> 01:26:36,760 Speaker 1: in two consecutive quarters. So I mean, from your perspective, 1625 01:26:37,280 --> 01:26:39,080 Speaker 1: I guess I'm asking you a question you already know 1626 01:26:39,120 --> 01:26:41,360 Speaker 1: the answer to it. Don't you think we need these 1627 01:26:41,400 --> 01:26:43,320 Speaker 1: tax cuts to send it over the edge? I mean, 1628 01:26:43,360 --> 01:26:45,200 Speaker 1: it's good to be an overdrive, but if we're in 1629 01:26:45,280 --> 01:26:47,240 Speaker 1: fifth year, we can take it the sixth or seventh 1630 01:26:47,280 --> 01:26:49,840 Speaker 1: year the economy if we can get these through. What's 1631 01:26:49,880 --> 01:26:54,160 Speaker 1: your take on that? Absolutely, dan that this economy, uh, 1632 01:26:54,479 --> 01:26:57,920 Speaker 1: the eight years of President Obama has grown at fifty percent. 1633 01:26:58,040 --> 01:27:01,839 Speaker 1: Let me repeat that of the post World War two average, 1634 01:27:02,640 --> 01:27:04,439 Speaker 1: we've grown out between three to three and a half 1635 01:27:04,479 --> 01:27:08,559 Speaker 1: percent GDP growth annually on average since World War Two 1636 01:27:08,920 --> 01:27:12,719 Speaker 1: under president of former President Obama, we grew somewhere between 1637 01:27:12,760 --> 01:27:16,360 Speaker 1: one and a half to one point seven GDP growth. So, yes, 1638 01:27:16,439 --> 01:27:18,800 Speaker 1: we need to reignite this economy. And one of the 1639 01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:22,400 Speaker 1: biggest reasons, dan Is are working families in this country 1640 01:27:22,560 --> 01:27:26,559 Speaker 1: haven't effectively had a pay raise in over twenty years. 1641 01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:30,600 Speaker 1: Twenty years. And you know what's increasingly frustrating about this 1642 01:27:30,640 --> 01:27:35,680 Speaker 1: Congressman That Democrat economic advisors Larry Summers comes to mind 1643 01:27:35,760 --> 01:27:37,400 Speaker 1: right away. I have the quote right in front of me, 1644 01:27:37,479 --> 01:27:41,880 Speaker 1: and from years ago it suggested that the tax cut proposals, 1645 01:27:41,880 --> 01:27:44,360 Speaker 1: some of them on the Republican tax cut plan. Now 1646 01:27:44,760 --> 01:27:47,599 Speaker 1: we're quote a free lunch, and we're a quick way 1647 01:27:47,600 --> 01:27:50,439 Speaker 1: to juice the economy. And now you have some of 1648 01:27:50,439 --> 01:27:53,120 Speaker 1: these same set advisors. Now the President Trump is in 1649 01:27:53,200 --> 01:27:56,200 Speaker 1: office saying, oh, no, this is an absurd idea. It's 1650 01:27:56,200 --> 01:27:59,120 Speaker 1: a tax cut for the rich. It's it's it's insanity. 1651 01:27:59,400 --> 01:28:02,400 Speaker 1: I haven't really our time with this. Oh I agree. 1652 01:28:02,560 --> 01:28:05,160 Speaker 1: In the in in the Washington media, Dan, it's fascinating, 1653 01:28:05,240 --> 01:28:07,400 Speaker 1: and I've been telling them this. It seems like there's 1654 01:28:07,439 --> 01:28:10,760 Speaker 1: only one time they care about the deficit, one time 1655 01:28:10,760 --> 01:28:12,559 Speaker 1: to care about the debt, and one time they care 1656 01:28:12,560 --> 01:28:14,760 Speaker 1: about the cost to the federal government. And that's when 1657 01:28:14,760 --> 01:28:17,880 Speaker 1: we're talking about letting working folks keep more of their 1658 01:28:17,920 --> 01:28:20,479 Speaker 1: own money, more of their own take on page, don't 1659 01:28:20,479 --> 01:28:23,200 Speaker 1: worry about it's not it's not a cost to let 1660 01:28:23,200 --> 01:28:25,200 Speaker 1: people keep more of their own money. That's not no. No, 1661 01:28:25,360 --> 01:28:27,679 Speaker 1: It's like someone not robbing you as they walk down 1662 01:28:27,680 --> 01:28:29,880 Speaker 1: the street and then acting like you cost them a dollar. 1663 01:28:29,920 --> 01:28:32,440 Speaker 1: It's like, it's my money. We earned it. So Congressman 1664 01:28:32,520 --> 01:28:35,640 Speaker 1: Jordan's question for you on this up. So yesterday I 1665 01:28:35,680 --> 01:28:37,920 Speaker 1: was I was doing a cable news and I was 1666 01:28:37,920 --> 01:28:39,599 Speaker 1: talking to one of the hosts who was really bright, 1667 01:28:39,920 --> 01:28:42,120 Speaker 1: and she brought up a great point which is concerned 1668 01:28:42,120 --> 01:28:43,679 Speaker 1: me and I know you for a very long time, 1669 01:28:43,720 --> 01:28:45,719 Speaker 1: along with most of the members of the Freedom Caucus. 1670 01:28:46,280 --> 01:28:48,439 Speaker 1: The budget blueprint, we all get it. It's not the 1671 01:28:48,479 --> 01:28:52,120 Speaker 1: formal budget that passed. But you know, I hate to 1672 01:28:52,200 --> 01:28:54,360 Speaker 1: use this ridiculous term kicking the can down the road 1673 01:28:54,400 --> 01:28:56,760 Speaker 1: there there's no road even left anymore. But I know 1674 01:28:56,880 --> 01:28:58,920 Speaker 1: you guys are on this and ladies and the Freedom 1675 01:28:58,920 --> 01:29:01,599 Speaker 1: Caucus over there, But when is the Congress at large, 1676 01:29:01,640 --> 01:29:04,160 Speaker 1: the Republicans out there going to get their arms around 1677 01:29:04,200 --> 01:29:06,880 Speaker 1: the fact that mathematically we are headed down an absolutely 1678 01:29:06,960 --> 01:29:10,240 Speaker 1: certain course to bankruptcy if we don't course correct. Well, 1679 01:29:10,320 --> 01:29:12,679 Speaker 1: let's let's hope sooner rather than later. Because you're absolutely 1680 01:29:12,720 --> 01:29:16,479 Speaker 1: right twenty three dollar debt. But uh, Broadlands to the 1681 01:29:16,560 --> 01:29:18,679 Speaker 1: right the right point, and you know this as well. 1682 01:29:18,960 --> 01:29:21,559 Speaker 1: You can't deal with the twenty treeon dollar debt when 1683 01:29:21,600 --> 01:29:23,760 Speaker 1: you're growing at one and a half one and three 1684 01:29:23,840 --> 01:29:26,439 Speaker 1: quarters percent annual growth rate. You have to get the three, 1685 01:29:26,560 --> 01:29:29,000 Speaker 1: three and a half four Donald's Trump's presidency were on 1686 01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:31,280 Speaker 1: that track right now, hit three. As you said the 1687 01:29:31,320 --> 01:29:33,960 Speaker 1: last two quarters, you can't get that kind of growth 1688 01:29:34,040 --> 01:29:35,680 Speaker 1: rate if you don't cut taxes and let people keep 1689 01:29:35,720 --> 01:29:37,920 Speaker 1: more of their money, lower the corporate all the things 1690 01:29:37,920 --> 01:29:39,360 Speaker 1: that are going to be in this tax bill. So 1691 01:29:39,680 --> 01:29:42,120 Speaker 1: that is part of dealing with this debt burden that 1692 01:29:42,280 --> 01:29:45,240 Speaker 1: we currently have that is that is so high. But 1693 01:29:45,320 --> 01:29:47,200 Speaker 1: at some point, you're exactly right. Once we get the 1694 01:29:47,200 --> 01:29:49,960 Speaker 1: tax code right, we're gonna have to cut spending. We're 1695 01:29:49,960 --> 01:29:51,920 Speaker 1: gonna have to reduce the rate of growth of the government, 1696 01:29:51,960 --> 01:29:54,000 Speaker 1: reduce the rate of growth of spending so that we 1697 01:29:54,000 --> 01:29:55,760 Speaker 1: can deal with it. But you have to grow at 1698 01:29:55,760 --> 01:29:57,439 Speaker 1: a better rate. And helping us get to a better 1699 01:29:57,520 --> 01:29:59,240 Speaker 1: rate of growth is going to be putting in place 1700 01:29:59,280 --> 01:30:01,280 Speaker 1: the right kind of tax code and letting people keep 1701 01:30:01,280 --> 01:30:03,840 Speaker 1: more of their money. But Congressman Jordan, do you do 1702 01:30:03,880 --> 01:30:06,360 Speaker 1: you think we're talking to Jim Jordan and Rod Blum 1703 01:30:06,360 --> 01:30:09,960 Speaker 1: from Ohio and uh excuse Ohio and Iowa respectively. Do 1704 01:30:10,040 --> 01:30:12,800 Speaker 1: you think there's any momentum for you know, forget for 1705 01:30:12,840 --> 01:30:16,160 Speaker 1: a second even about cutting spending. Is there any momentum 1706 01:30:16,160 --> 01:30:18,680 Speaker 1: for even cutting the rate of growth of spending. I mean, 1707 01:30:18,680 --> 01:30:22,120 Speaker 1: that would at least be a baby step forward. Unfortunately, 1708 01:30:22,200 --> 01:30:25,120 Speaker 1: certainly not amongst Democrats. Uh and and frankly, I think 1709 01:30:25,160 --> 01:30:27,840 Speaker 1: they're they're probably too many Republicans who don't want to 1710 01:30:27,880 --> 01:30:30,680 Speaker 1: do that now. But I do think we will get there. 1711 01:30:30,720 --> 01:30:32,400 Speaker 1: But let's let's go one step at a time. Let's 1712 01:30:32,439 --> 01:30:34,679 Speaker 1: get the tax let's get the tax code in place. 1713 01:30:34,960 --> 01:30:37,719 Speaker 1: Rod is at the right. Uh. This whole revenue neutral 1714 01:30:37,760 --> 01:30:39,800 Speaker 1: idea that somehow letting people keep more of their money 1715 01:30:39,880 --> 01:30:42,120 Speaker 1: is the cost of the government is just ridiculous. And 1716 01:30:42,160 --> 01:30:44,680 Speaker 1: in the revenue neutral world, never forget what happens if 1717 01:30:44,720 --> 01:30:47,000 Speaker 1: you function in that world. What it means does the 1718 01:30:47,000 --> 01:30:49,120 Speaker 1: burden says the same. You just shift around who pays what. 1719 01:30:49,520 --> 01:30:53,160 Speaker 1: And in that scenario, what always happens is the people 1720 01:30:53,200 --> 01:30:55,240 Speaker 1: with the big fancy lobbyists and all the you know, 1721 01:30:55,280 --> 01:30:58,160 Speaker 1: the folks with all the political capital, they get a 1722 01:30:58,160 --> 01:31:00,160 Speaker 1: good deal and middle class familis get a bad So 1723 01:31:00,240 --> 01:31:03,479 Speaker 1: let's just do one thing. Yeah, yeah, I mean baby steps. 1724 01:31:03,479 --> 01:31:06,080 Speaker 1: I agree. I mean, after eight years of Barack Obama 1725 01:31:06,080 --> 01:31:10,000 Speaker 1: and Congressman bum As you accurately stated, um sub standard 1726 01:31:10,080 --> 01:31:13,160 Speaker 1: historical growth. I mean, these are not partisan talking points 1727 01:31:13,160 --> 01:31:16,400 Speaker 1: that you can google these yourself. The post World War 1728 01:31:16,479 --> 01:31:19,760 Speaker 1: two rate of growth has been was significantly higher than 1729 01:31:19,800 --> 01:31:23,160 Speaker 1: we saw under Barack Obama. And I think what's really 1730 01:31:23,200 --> 01:31:25,680 Speaker 1: bothering me about this is now, you know, Democrats, like 1731 01:31:25,680 --> 01:31:27,439 Speaker 1: I said before, we were advocating for some of the 1732 01:31:27,479 --> 01:31:30,840 Speaker 1: same policies, are throwing out their disingenuous talking points about 1733 01:31:30,880 --> 01:31:34,480 Speaker 1: these tax cuts, saying their standard old class politics nonsense 1734 01:31:34,680 --> 01:31:36,720 Speaker 1: that this is a tax cut for the rich, when 1735 01:31:36,760 --> 01:31:38,960 Speaker 1: you and I both know that there are mounds of 1736 01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:41,760 Speaker 1: economic data out there showing that a corporate tax cut 1737 01:31:41,960 --> 01:31:44,559 Speaker 1: would benefit in fact, the middle class and not just 1738 01:31:44,640 --> 01:31:46,760 Speaker 1: the rich. I mean that kind of infuriates me. How 1739 01:31:46,760 --> 01:31:49,479 Speaker 1: do we battle this stuff? Yeah, they just keep you 1740 01:31:49,640 --> 01:31:54,400 Speaker 1: keep talking about this is this isn't they out of 1741 01:31:54,400 --> 01:31:56,920 Speaker 1: a textbook, Dan that this is every time, every time 1742 01:31:56,920 --> 01:31:59,719 Speaker 1: has been tried, it is work. We gave a huge 1743 01:31:59,760 --> 01:32:03,000 Speaker 1: tax cuts in the twenties. Revenues to the government went up, 1744 01:32:03,120 --> 01:32:06,800 Speaker 1: g d P went up. Jobs. Kennedy for Kennedy, a Democrat, 1745 01:32:07,320 --> 01:32:10,439 Speaker 1: lower lower the high tax rates created nine million jobs, 1746 01:32:10,720 --> 01:32:12,759 Speaker 1: nine million jobs in the in the next five years. 1747 01:32:12,960 --> 01:32:17,080 Speaker 1: His GDP growth was over listened to this five in 1748 01:32:17,080 --> 01:32:19,400 Speaker 1: the revenues to the government. You want to talk about cost, 1749 01:32:19,640 --> 01:32:22,960 Speaker 1: the revenues to the government went up over sixty or Kennedy. Now, 1750 01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:26,040 Speaker 1: let's passed forward to Reagan. Same thing we had once 1751 01:32:26,080 --> 01:32:29,400 Speaker 1: in a generation tax cuts there twelve million jobs, twelve 1752 01:32:29,479 --> 01:32:33,280 Speaker 1: million jobs created, five percent GDP growth, and revenues to 1753 01:32:33,280 --> 01:32:36,120 Speaker 1: the government for people that want government to grow and 1754 01:32:36,600 --> 01:32:41,519 Speaker 1: doubled under Reagan because of these tax cuts. Congressman Bob, 1755 01:32:41,960 --> 01:32:45,360 Speaker 1: nothing you're saying there was even remotely controversial. Everything you're 1756 01:32:45,400 --> 01:32:48,799 Speaker 1: saying can be easily researched by throwing to the internet. 1757 01:32:49,040 --> 01:32:50,960 Speaker 1: But what's frustrating to me? And if I could ask 1758 01:32:51,200 --> 01:32:53,160 Speaker 1: both of you a small favor. I don't know if 1759 01:32:53,160 --> 01:32:55,479 Speaker 1: this will ever happen, but can someone just go on 1760 01:32:55,520 --> 01:32:59,720 Speaker 1: the House floor with a chart of tax revenue and 1761 01:33:00,040 --> 01:33:03,200 Speaker 1: asked the liberals there to show us where after a 1762 01:33:03,360 --> 01:33:06,839 Speaker 1: tax cut, tax revenue has gone down? Well, I I wonder, 1763 01:33:07,040 --> 01:33:10,360 Speaker 1: and I'll leave this to you. Congressman Jordan's serious question, 1764 01:33:10,360 --> 01:33:11,959 Speaker 1: though for a moment, I'm not trying to be sarcastic 1765 01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:13,880 Speaker 1: or silly about it. Why has no one done that? 1766 01:33:13,920 --> 01:33:15,880 Speaker 1: Why has no one just gone up there and highlighted 1767 01:33:15,920 --> 01:33:18,000 Speaker 1: tax revenue. The government said, here were the tax cuts. 1768 01:33:18,360 --> 01:33:21,920 Speaker 1: Here's what happened to tax revenue. Notice liberals, tax revenue 1769 01:33:21,920 --> 01:33:24,120 Speaker 1: one up. Because the economy, I mean, none of this 1770 01:33:24,200 --> 01:33:26,400 Speaker 1: is hard to figure out. It's just frustrating no one 1771 01:33:26,439 --> 01:33:28,920 Speaker 1: does it. I think hum is going to do that 1772 01:33:28,960 --> 01:33:30,320 Speaker 1: here in the next couple of weeks. You're gonna go 1773 01:33:30,320 --> 01:33:32,760 Speaker 1: on the floor and did just that. If you do that, 1774 01:33:32,880 --> 01:33:35,479 Speaker 1: I will be all over that on my social media. 1775 01:33:35,640 --> 01:33:39,240 Speaker 1: So it would be great, you know. But the class 1776 01:33:39,280 --> 01:33:41,640 Speaker 1: warfare guys, Dan love to talk about the rich. You're 1777 01:33:41,640 --> 01:33:44,760 Speaker 1: gonna get richer and businesses. The benefits are going to 1778 01:33:44,840 --> 01:33:47,040 Speaker 1: go to the businesses. Once again, if you look at 1779 01:33:47,040 --> 01:33:50,559 Speaker 1: the economic facts, Dan, when when businesses get tax cuts, 1780 01:33:50,960 --> 01:33:55,200 Speaker 1: workers in those businesses make more money. Most of the 1781 01:33:55,280 --> 01:33:59,520 Speaker 1: tax advantages that go to businesses end up in workers. Congressman, 1782 01:34:00,200 --> 01:34:04,720 Speaker 1: go up. It was Barack Obama's economic advisor, one of them, 1783 01:34:04,760 --> 01:34:07,200 Speaker 1: Larry Summers, who was the old Treasury secretary, who made 1784 01:34:07,200 --> 01:34:10,000 Speaker 1: that point himself. Like I said, to anyone listening to 1785 01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:12,320 Speaker 1: the congressman who thinks, oh he's a Republican, he's making 1786 01:34:12,360 --> 01:34:16,880 Speaker 1: this up, just google it. Larry Summers a Democrat advisor, 1787 01:34:16,920 --> 01:34:20,679 Speaker 1: economic advisor and the former Treasury secretary made the exact case. 1788 01:34:20,720 --> 01:34:24,080 Speaker 1: Congressman Blum, just me and and Congressman this is what's 1789 01:34:24,080 --> 01:34:28,880 Speaker 1: increasingly frustrating. Facts and data have become partisan. I mean, 1790 01:34:29,000 --> 01:34:32,320 Speaker 1: two plus two is four. Whether you're Republican or a Democrat. Say, 1791 01:34:32,360 --> 01:34:34,200 Speaker 1: you're entitled to your own opinion, but you're not entitled 1792 01:34:34,200 --> 01:34:38,599 Speaker 1: to your own facts. And the rich have done quite 1793 01:34:38,600 --> 01:34:42,320 Speaker 1: well under President Barack Obama, and Uh, I'd say it's 1794 01:34:42,320 --> 01:34:45,680 Speaker 1: the middle class that hasn't done well. I'm absolutely convinced 1795 01:34:45,880 --> 01:34:48,120 Speaker 1: this once in a generation tax ref him that we're 1796 01:34:48,120 --> 01:34:49,960 Speaker 1: going to end up passing through the House and Senate 1797 01:34:50,320 --> 01:34:53,800 Speaker 1: is going to help predominantly the middle class who hasn't 1798 01:34:53,800 --> 01:34:56,439 Speaker 1: had a Bay race in twenty years. Yeah, you're darn right. 1799 01:34:56,479 --> 01:34:58,960 Speaker 1: Income into quality got worse than the Barack Obama frequently 1800 01:34:59,040 --> 01:35:00,840 Speaker 1: left out of the mainstream meeting or think about a 1801 01:35:00,840 --> 01:35:03,240 Speaker 1: minute left. So Congressman Jordan, I'll throw this one to you. Um, 1802 01:35:03,280 --> 01:35:06,040 Speaker 1: I just wanted to hit on uranium one. Uh do 1803 01:35:06,120 --> 01:35:09,559 Speaker 1: you is this? I want to be very delicate about 1804 01:35:09,560 --> 01:35:11,600 Speaker 1: this because I don't want to do what liberals do 1805 01:35:11,720 --> 01:35:14,679 Speaker 1: to us, which has become a conspiracy theorist, your Trump 1806 01:35:14,720 --> 01:35:17,720 Speaker 1: Russia all that nonsense, but with uranium one and the 1807 01:35:17,760 --> 01:35:23,160 Speaker 1: exploding connection right now between bogus Russian intelligence and this 1808 01:35:23,160 --> 01:35:26,320 Speaker 1: this dossier. Uh, do you think we're gonna see any 1809 01:35:26,400 --> 01:35:28,800 Speaker 1: substantive action on this? And I'm not you know, I'm 1810 01:35:28,800 --> 01:35:30,599 Speaker 1: not getting to like people are gonna be in handcuffs 1811 01:35:30,680 --> 01:35:32,600 Speaker 1: or anything. But this is really concerning a lot of 1812 01:35:32,600 --> 01:35:36,719 Speaker 1: grassroots people has probably know this is this This smells 1813 01:35:36,760 --> 01:35:38,960 Speaker 1: too high heaven and that's why there's investigations that have 1814 01:35:39,000 --> 01:35:42,160 Speaker 1: been announced. I mean, uh, they they paid Clinton taste 1815 01:35:42,200 --> 01:35:44,400 Speaker 1: for the Dassier. The Dakier becomes the catalyst for doing 1816 01:35:44,400 --> 01:35:48,360 Speaker 1: the the the investigation of President Trump. Uh. And we 1817 01:35:48,439 --> 01:35:50,439 Speaker 1: find out when this is all going on, this deal, 1818 01:35:51,040 --> 01:35:53,400 Speaker 1: that the FBI is looking at extortion, kickbacks and bribery 1819 01:35:53,439 --> 01:35:54,920 Speaker 1: and all this stuff, and they don't tell anyone and 1820 01:35:54,960 --> 01:35:57,519 Speaker 1: don't tell the Congress, don't tell the agency's making the decision, 1821 01:35:57,760 --> 01:36:00,080 Speaker 1: and who was running the FBI at the time, and 1822 01:36:00,120 --> 01:36:02,280 Speaker 1: it's all shipped down on Bob Mueller and who was 1823 01:36:02,320 --> 01:36:06,200 Speaker 1: a justice overseeing this whole operation. Ross Rosenstein was was 1824 01:36:06,280 --> 01:36:09,360 Speaker 1: overseeing the whole thing. So this smells as as and 1825 01:36:09,200 --> 01:36:11,720 Speaker 1: and look, it may all just be one big coincidence, 1826 01:36:11,840 --> 01:36:13,599 Speaker 1: but at sure Don looked that way, and that's why 1827 01:36:13,640 --> 01:36:15,880 Speaker 1: there's investigations that started this week and we're going to 1828 01:36:15,920 --> 01:36:17,360 Speaker 1: get to the bottom of it. Well, this is what 1829 01:36:17,439 --> 01:36:21,280 Speaker 1: I always appreciate about about calm conservatives out there, that 1830 01:36:21,280 --> 01:36:24,040 Speaker 1: we're actually willing to get the facts before we talk, 1831 01:36:24,280 --> 01:36:28,760 Speaker 1: unlike this nonsensical X Files conspiracy theory that they made 1832 01:36:28,800 --> 01:36:31,200 Speaker 1: up for six months. It's really disturbing. But I just 1833 01:36:31,200 --> 01:36:33,360 Speaker 1: want to thank you guys.
