1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: And this should have been done by Biden years ago.

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: This should have never been allowed to happen. I know

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,399
Speaker 1: he's a friend of yours, He's a friend of CNN.

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: That's why nobody watches CNN anymore because they have no credibility.

5
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 2: Who else? Yes, you're listening to the forty seven Morning

6
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 2: Update with Ben Ferguson.

7
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 3: Well, happy Friday morning, you made it to the weekend.

8
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 3: Ben Ferguson with you, and here are the big stories

9
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 3: we're covering today on the forty seven Morning Update. First up,

10
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 3: Democrats are losing their mind as Elon Musk and his

11
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 3: team have now gained more access to a total of

12
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 3: fifteen government agencies.

13
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 4: What are they fighting? I'll have it for you in

14
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 4: just a moment.

15
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 3: Democrats also trying to figure out how they are going

16
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 3: to fight back against Donald Trump.

17
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 4: And in story number.

18
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 3: Two, elam Omar goes on National TV to say that

19
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 3: Donald Trump is in essence a dictator and a tyrant

20
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 3: when he's just been on the job for three weeks.

21
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 3: And finally, we have the list of the likely tax

22
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 3: that could save you and your family a ton of

23
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 3: money that Donald Trump wants in the Reconciliation Bill, will

24
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 3: have those details as well. It's the forty seven Morning

25
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 3: Update and it starts right now.

26
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 2: Story number one.

27
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 3: If there's one thing that Donald Trump has done that

28
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 3: has really made the left angry, it's the fact that

29
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 3: he's exposing the waste of fraud and the good old

30
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 3: abuse in the United States government. We're also finding out

31
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 3: each and every day just how bad things have gotten.

32
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 3: And now it seems clear that Donald Trump is saying

33
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 3: to Elon Musk and his.

34
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 4: Team, go find it all.

35
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 3: Elon Musk and his team have now swept into fifteen agencies,

36
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 3: and this.

37
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 4: Is what we know.

38
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 3: Staffers and allies of Musk and his service are well

39
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 3: fanning out across Washington in the last week, especially seeking

40
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 3: access to data and disrupting operations in at least fifteen

41
00:01:54,720 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 3: government agencies in pursuit of dramatically smaller federal government. DOGE,

42
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 3: which you know stands for the Department of Government Efficiency,

43
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 3: has not disclosed the names of its staff members, but

44
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 3: the Washington Post is trying to do a let's out

45
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 3: you list. They've identified now more than thirty people working

46
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 3: for closely with by examining the internal directories. They claim

47
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 3: a multiple agencies and interviewing numerous federal workers, virtually all

48
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 3: of whom spoke on condition of eminemity to fear for quote,

49
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 3: major retaliation. Now, this is when you know that Elon

50
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 3: Musk is getting somewhere in Donald Trump. When you have

51
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 3: this many people inside the government that are trying to

52
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 3: undermine the people that are working with Doge, They're hoping

53
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 3: that they can get them in trouble or find a

54
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 3: way to get them fired. Now, about half of those

55
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 3: identified have ties to Musk or his companies. Why, well,

56
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 3: these are clearly the people that he trusts with his

57
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 3: companies and also people well that operate at another level

58
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 3: when it comes to intellect. Now, among those are young people,

59
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 3: and the reality is many on the Democratic Party are

60
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 3: angry at the fact that many of these people working

61
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 3: for Elon Musk are young in their twenties. Another way

62
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 3: of putting it, it's clear age discrimination. They don't like

63
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 3: the fact that young people are coming in and looking

64
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 3: at ways to cost cut or looking for the waste

65
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 3: fraud and abuse and exposing it the way that Elon

66
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 3: Musk is on X. What's also very interesting about what's

67
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 3: happening now is much of the waste fraud and abuse

68
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 3: is being exposed instantly because Elon Musk will get the information,

69
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 3: then he checks and verifies it, and then he's putting

70
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 3: it out on social media, so that you know, before

71
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 3: the media can protect or stop the story from ever

72
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 3: being written. He's going around the media now. Donald Trump

73
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 3: was asked in an interview during the halftime of the

74
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 3: Super Bowl on Sunday night about if he trusts Elon Musk,

75
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 3: because again, what is the left doing trying to tell

76
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 3: you that Elon Musk and his staff cannot be trusted.

77
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 3: What did Donald Trump say, Take a listen.

78
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's kickbacks or what's going on,

79
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: but the people, look, I ran on this, and the

80
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: people want me to find it. And I've had a

81
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: great help with Elon Musk, who's been terrific.

82
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 5: I'm on you say you trust him?

83
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: Trust Elon. Oh, he's not gaining anything. In fact, I

84
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: wonder how he can devote the time to it. He's

85
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: so into it. But I told him to do that.

86
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: Then I'm going to tell him very soon, like maybe

87
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: in twenty four hours, to go check the Department of Education.

88
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: He's going to find the same thing. Then I'm going

89
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: to go to the military. Let's check the military. We're

90
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: going to find billions, hundreds of billions of dollars of

91
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: fraud and abuse. And you know, the people elected me on.

92
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 3: That hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud and abuse.

93
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 3: It was very clear the President was saying to you,

94
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 3: the American people, you told me what the mandate was.

95
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 3: You wanted me to cut the size of government. You

96
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 3: wanted me to me make sure that they weren't wasting

97
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 3: your tax dollars. You wanted to make sure that your

98
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 3: money was going to America first policies. That is exactly

99
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 3: what Donald Trump is delivering on, and he's expanding the

100
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 3: scope of where he's looking for all of the government waste,

101
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 3: fraud and abuse.

102
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 2: Now story number two.

103
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 4: It is very.

104
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 3: Clear Democrats are trying to find their footing and how

105
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 3: they're going to deal with all the successes over the

106
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 3: last three weeks of Donald Trump's agenda. They understand now

107
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 3: that they've got to come up with some plan to

108
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 3: undermine him. The media is obviously on board to help

109
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 3: with that. Alam Omar has come out just days after

110
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 3: Democrats already called for a third impeachment of Donald Trump

111
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 3: from the floor of the House to say that it's

112
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 3: very clear that Donald Trump has decided he will not

113
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 3: abide their claiming by the Constitution. They're now saying he

114
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 3: is a dictator and a tyrant. Well representative. Alam Omar

115
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,119
Speaker 3: on Sunday on CBS Facination had a few other things

116
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,679
Speaker 3: to say about Donald Trump. This is their game plan

117
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 3: of how they're going to undermine him. Listen carefully to

118
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 3: the word she uses.

119
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 5: We're joined now by Democratic Congressman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.

120
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 5: Good to have you here. You have spoken quite a

121
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 5: bit this week about what USAID meant in your life,

122
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 5: particularly when you were living in a refugee camp for

123
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 5: four years and USAID you talked about helping to keep

124
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 5: you alive. We know this week a federal judge will

125
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 5: come to some kind of hearing and decision perhaps on

126
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 5: what happens to all those government workers. Are the courts

127
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 5: the main line of defense here?

128
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, what we are witnessing is a constitutional crisis.

129
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 6: We are seeing an executive branch that has decided that

130
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 6: they are no longer going to abide by the Constitution

131
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 6: in honoring Congress's role in the creation of the agencies,

132
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 6: in their role in deciding where money is allocated. And

133
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 6: so the only week course we have have since our

134
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 6: congressional leadership, the Speaker will not stop the executive is

135
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 6: through the judiciary. And this is you know, when you

136
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 6: think about the checks and balances that we have, the

137
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 6: courts are the only recourse we have at the moment,

138
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 6: and we have seen and when we talk about the

139
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 6: illegality of what the executive is doing, we have seen

140
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 6: every single executive order that has been challenged in the

141
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 6: courts was found to be illegal. And that I think

142
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 6: should give faith to the American people that our courts

143
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 6: are working as they should. The checks and balances are working.

144
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 6: What is not working is the way that the executive

145
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 6: is behaving and the congressional leadership that is failing the

146
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 6: American people.

147
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 5: Well, some of these court cases are ongoing.

148
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 3: So, by the way, let's just be clear over what

149
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 3: she just said. She just claimed that the court systems

150
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 3: had stopped Donald Trump on every executive order. That is

151
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 3: a and as you could even hear there, and I'm

152
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 3: sure this was hard for them to do at CBS

153
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 3: Face the Nation, they even tried to somewhat correct her

154
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 3: and say, well, these are ongoing He's only been present

155
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 3: for three weeks. How can you make such an egregious claim.

156
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,119
Speaker 3: You also have to remember who the Democrats are putting

157
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 3: out on TV. Face The Democratic Party now has become

158
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 3: so radical they decide to put a congresswoman out there

159
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 3: as their faced this week on Face the Nation, a

160
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 3: woman that referred to the nine to eleven terrorists as

161
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 3: some people that did some things. We also are finding

162
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 3: out that the Democrats are putting different extremists out there

163
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 3: to try to find out a way to undermine the president.

164
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 3: You notice, in the beginning of that interview, Margaret Brennan

165
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 3: is talking about we know that USAID meant so much

166
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 3: to you and your life. Why did she say that, Well,

167
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 3: it's very clear they're trying to cover for the abuse, waste,

168
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 3: the fraud coming from USAID and even the funneling of

169
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 3: money to actual terrorists. So what better person on TV

170
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 3: to defend the program then a woman that refers to

171
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 3: the nine to eleven hijackers as some people that did

172
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 3: some things. Now Omar was not done there. She also

173
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,199
Speaker 3: went on to say this, I mean, what we're witnessing

174
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 3: is a constitutional crisis. We are seeing executive brands that

175
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 3: has decided they no longer are going to abide by

176
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 3: the Constitution and honoring Congress's role in the creation of

177
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 3: the agencies and their role and in deciding where money

178
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 3: is allocated.

179
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 4: So, now, what does she say?

180
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 3: You have a president of the United States of America

181
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 3: that has gone rogue. I think it's pretty clear the

182
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 3: Democrats are now trying anything they can to get their footing,

183
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 3: whether it's impeaching Donald Trump or saying he's a dictator

184
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 3: or a tyrant or someone not abiding by the Constitution,

185
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 3: all because Democrats don't know what to do because there's

186
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 3: so much winning going on in Washington.

187
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 2: And lastly, story number three, I have.

188
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 3: An important list for you today and is the list

189
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 3: of the likely tax cuts that now Donald Trump wants

190
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 3: in the Reckon Aciliation Bill. What this means for everyday

191
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 3: Americans is real savings for you. Now the plan has

192
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 3: become even more ambitious, mainly because of all the well

193
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 3: abuse of your tax dollars that the Trump administration has

194
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 3: found in the last three weeks. The Press Secretary Carolin

195
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 3: Levitt came out to explain just one of the abuses

196
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 3: of your tax dollars being used against you, and it

197
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 3: was when the money they found was going to media

198
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 3: outlets including Politico. This is what has spun the President

199
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 3: up to give more of your money back to you.

200
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 7: So upon coming out here to the briefing room, I

201
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 7: was made aware of the funding from USAID to media

202
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 7: outlets including Politico, who I know has a seat in

203
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 7: this room, and I can confirm that the more than

204
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 7: eight million taxpayer dollars that have gone to essentially subsidizing

205
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 7: subscriptions to Politico, the American taxpayer's dying will no longer

206
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 7: be happening. The DOGE team is working on canceling those

207
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 7: payments now.

208
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 3: So when they find the money and then they decide

209
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 3: to cancel these types of payments, the question many asked was, well,

210
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 3: what's going to happen next? Well, it now is clear

211
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 3: the president saying he wants you to keep more of

212
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 3: your money and stop giving so much of it to

213
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 3: the government. President Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans are in

214
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 3: deep negotiations and went all weekend long on a tax

215
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 3: package that a budget watchdog group estimated would actually save

216
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 3: you five to eleven point two trillion.

217
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 4: Over the next decade.

218
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 3: Now, if you read the media's explanation of that, they'll

219
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 3: tell you it's going to cost you between five trillion

220
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 3: to eleven point two trillion. No, no, that's how much

221
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 3: the government will not get from you. A series of

222
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 3: tax policy changes that Trump's supports appear to have broad

223
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 3: support among Republicans in Congress. The Committee for a Responsible

224
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 3: Federal Budget has released a study that projects the cost

225
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 3: of each item over a ten year period is going

226
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 3: to be huge for you, the American people. Now on

227
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 3: that list, at the top of it was one big thing,

228
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,199
Speaker 3: eliminating taxes on tips. This was a huge promise from

229
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 3: Donald Trump during the campaign, something he said he would

230
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 3: work on as soon as he got into the White House.

231
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 3: It would result in a hundred billion to five hundred

232
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 3: and fifty billion reduction in federal tax revenue, meaning one

233
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 3: hundred to five hundred and fifty billion of taxes that

234
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 3: you wouldn't have to pay to the government. We also

235
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 3: found out exempting overtime pay from federal taxes would also

236
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 3: give two hundred and fifty to three trillion back into

237
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 3: the pockets of American workers. And finally, exempting Social Security

238
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 3: benefits from federal taxes would now cost between five hundred

239
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 3: and fifty billion and one point five trillion. That's how

240
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 3: the government is reporting it to the media as they're

241
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,839
Speaker 3: trying to keep more of your dollars. So what does

242
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 3: it really mean. It means that Donald Trump and the

243
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 3: Republicans are wanting you to keep between five hundred and

244
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 3: fifty billion to one point five trillion that you normally

245
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 3: would have paid in taxes. We also have been told

246
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 3: that the present wants to lower taxes for US production

247
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 3: of certain goods that would save you between one hundred

248
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 3: to two hundred billion, and reducing tax benefits for stadium

249
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 3: owners and ending the carried interest loophole. They would also

250
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 3: save the taxpayers one hundred billion dollars. Now, all of

251
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 3: this is being put together in one of the biggest

252
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 3: tax plans we've ever seen. But this is not a

253
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 3: big tax plan that's going to raise your taxes. It's

254
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 3: going to go down in history as one of the

255
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 3: biggest tax cuts in American history. And this is the

256
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 3: reason why Democrats right now are so terrified of Donald

257
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 3: Trump and his success, because three weeks in we also

258
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 3: know that Donald Trump has a new high approval rating,

259
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 3: meaning the American people are paying attention and the American

260
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 3: people are in favor of exactly what Donald Trump is doing.
