1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: So leave it to the Biden administration to pull off 2 00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:06,600 Speaker 1: something this stupid. Send you a check, and while you're 3 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 1: waiting on the check, they then announced that they're going 4 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,559 Speaker 1: to go on a tour to tell you why they're 5 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:16,280 Speaker 1: going to raise your taxes. This is not a joke. 6 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 1: We are now being told that the Biden administration because 7 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,600 Speaker 1: of the COVID package, they just passed the one point 8 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: nine trillion dollars COVID package where you only got nine 9 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: cents on the dollar, just a little dinky nine cents 10 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:38,560 Speaker 1: on the dollar. That's all. You got nine cents on 11 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,240 Speaker 1: the dollar, and they wasted all your other money on 12 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,959 Speaker 1: things I had nothing to do with COVID nineteen. They 13 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: now got to raise your taxes. Yeah, gotta raise your taxes. 14 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 1: We are now getting word the Biden administration is planning 15 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: the biggest and most expensive tax increase that we have 16 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: seen since nineteen ninety three, when Bill Clinton had his 17 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 1: desires as signature overhaul of the tax hikes and system 18 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: that costs him then the House and the Senate just 19 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: another year later in the midterm elections. This time, however, 20 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 1: they say it's going to be palatable because Biden is 21 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: focusing on addressing what he refers to the unequal treatment 22 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: between work and wealth. In other words, if you go 23 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: to work and you work, and you do work that 24 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: they say is appropriate work, then they're not going to 25 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: raise your taxes. I guess is bad. But if you're 26 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: someone that goes to work and you build wealth, then 27 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,040 Speaker 1: there is a huge problem with you, and that's who 28 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 1: they're going to then get tax dollars from. Now, let's 29 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: just talk about where we are as a nation when 30 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: it comes to debt. These numbers I'm about to give 31 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: you extremely important. The last time we had a major 32 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: financial crisis in this country I'm talking about from a 33 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: taxing issue where a party went nuts on taxes was 34 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter in nineteen eighty the US federal debt to 35 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: GDP ratio, which costs in the Rood House, And for 36 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: Reagan to actually beat Carter because people understood how bad 37 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: things are out of whack, was nineteen eighty. In nineteen eighty, 38 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 1: you had a total overhaul of the ideas in this country, 39 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: an overhaul because people were sick and tired of these 40 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: tax rates and they wanted something different from their government. 41 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 1: And so in nineteen eighty, when people were waving the 42 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: red flag, warning people that we were getting out of 43 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: whack with how much money we're spending compared to how 44 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 1: much money we're bringing in taxes. Of your tax dours, 45 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: our US federal debt to GDP ratio was thirty four 46 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: point five four percent, So just let's just round at 47 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: thirty five percent. That meant that we were in the 48 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: red thirty five percent US federal debt to GDP ratio. 49 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: You want to know where we are now today when 50 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: no one's paying attention to this, We are now at 51 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty nine point eight one percent US 52 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: federal debt to GDP ratio. There is no way that 53 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: this can continue without some sort of massive financial collapse 54 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 1: and or massive financial crush of the American people. In 55 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: the way of taxes, there also is a third alternative. 56 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: We have record tax revenue coming in this country. The 57 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: amount of tax revenue we have coming in is just 58 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: truly unbelievable. Yet somehow we always seem to spend more 59 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 1: money than we are bringing in, even if we have 60 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: record number of dollars coming in, the US federal tax 61 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: revenue right now, right now is at three point four 62 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: trillion dollars. That's an amazing amount of money. Revenue per 63 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: citizens over ten thousand bucks, that's incredible. Income tax revenue, 64 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: for example, is amazing right now one point six trillion, 65 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: Payroll tax revenue one point three million or trillion, i 66 00:03:55,600 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: should say, corporate tax revenue eighteen billion, tariff tax revenue 67 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: sixty seven billion. We have a lot of money coming 68 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: in right now in taxes. We have an amazing amount 69 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: of money. We have plenty of money to run this country, 70 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: but we refuse to actually make sense when we get 71 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: this money. We just decide to throw money around like crazy. 72 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 1: You want to know how bad things are right now? 73 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: This year, the largest budget items in our budget in 74 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: this country is medicare. Medicaid at one point two trillion 75 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: so far for the year. So security is at one 76 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: point one trillion for the year. Then you have defense 77 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: in war spending at seven hundred and twenty three billion. 78 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: And here is the fourth thing on our list. The 79 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 1: largest budget items for this year are almost four hundred billion. 80 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: Is what we are going to spend on interest on 81 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,919 Speaker 1: our debt that we are on the money we're borrowing 82 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 1: right now, so when you pay your taxes, four hundred 83 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 1: billion of your tax dollars are actually going right now 84 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: to just pay the interest on the money we owe. 85 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: As a country. We have an incredible amount of un 86 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,039 Speaker 1: fund of debt and interest in this country. The US 87 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 1: total interest paid so far as a country is three 88 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: point eight trillion dollars. We as a nation have spent 89 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: three point eight trillion just on paying the interest off 90 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: the money that we owe. If you want to know 91 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: how much interests we've paid per adult in this country, 92 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: it's over fifteen thousand dollars. To put it in perspective again, 93 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 1: this is why we have record number of dollars coming 94 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: into the US government coffers and we still can't balance 95 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 1: a damn budget. Let's talk about trade for a second. 96 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: You want to know how much US debt is being 97 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: held by foreign countries around the world. Much of it 98 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: is China and some of our enemies. Seven over seven 99 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 1: point one trillion is being held by foreign countries that 100 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,919 Speaker 1: owe that own our debt. US debt held by foreign 101 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 1: countries is over seven trillion dollars. That should terrify all 102 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: of us. Now, I give you those numbers to tell 103 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: you just so you know where we are. We are 104 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: so upside down right now, there's no reason for this 105 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: because we have plenty of money coming in. Our federal 106 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: debt to GDP ratio is one hundred and twenty nine 107 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 1: percent in the red. So Joe Biden says, hey, I'm 108 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 1: going to send you a check for fourteen hundred hours. 109 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you nine cents on every dollar, and 110 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: then I'm going to waste all the rest of the money. 111 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: And then I'm immediately going to announce the largest tax 112 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: increase that we've seen since the nineteen nineties, because he 113 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: understands we have to pay for this crap. Now. What 114 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 1: he said is is, don't worry. If you don't make 115 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: any money, you're not gonna have to worry about tax increasing. 116 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: If you make very little money, you're not gonna have 117 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,359 Speaker 1: to worry about these tax increases. We're going to attack 118 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: those that are giving independence to Americans. This is about 119 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 1: getting more Americans dependent on the Biden administration for their livelihood. 120 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: If there's any time that America cannot handle a tax increase, 121 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: especially of those that create jobs in this country in 122 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: the private sector, it is actually right now. Right now 123 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: is the worst time to do this because of what's 124 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: just happened the last year. Almost every person that I 125 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 1: know that has some amount of wealth over half a 126 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: million dollars or a million dollars or two million dollars, 127 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: is that money is disappearing day after day after day 128 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: after day. That money keeps disappearing because they're trying to 129 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: keep their businesses that they created afloat. They're just trying 130 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: to survive. I know people that have lost thirty and 131 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: forty percent of their wealth in the last year alone, 132 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: not to mention how much their businesses are now devalued, 133 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: and they're just trying to survive. So now what you 134 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: want to do is make it even harder on them 135 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: to survive. This is being done on purpose. This isn't 136 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: an accent. I don't believe the bidenministration is actually this stupid. 137 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: I actually believe that this smart. They understand that if 138 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: you can crush some small businesses right now and make 139 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: it virtually impossible for them to survive right now, you're 140 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: on really good footing moving forward, because then you'll have 141 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: more Americans depend on you than ever before. I want 142 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: you to think also just dumb. This is I'm talking 143 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: about just in competency. I'm talking about just basic stupidity 144 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: right now, Okay, who sends you a check for fourteen 145 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: hundred dollars and then immediately says they're going to raise 146 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: your taxes? Who says that? Who does that? It doesn't 147 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: make any sense at all. Here's fourteen hundred dollars. Now 148 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: I'm going to need more than fourteen hundred hours back. 149 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: That's what they're telling us. And they're going on the 150 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: road to sell you on this. Biden is actually going 151 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: to travel on Air Force one with Kamala Harris to 152 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 1: sell the American people on raising taxes. But remember, you 153 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: shouldn't be afraid of these tax breaks. If you're a 154 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: worker Bee, you should only be a tax increase. I say, 155 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: you should only be afraid these tax increases if you're 156 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: actually a person. They say that builds wealth. In other words, 157 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: if you're a business owner, we're gonna drown you. I 158 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: want to give you another example of this tax increase 159 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: and where a lot of this started. Right. Another way 160 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: of saying what Joe Biden is saying while he's trying 161 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: to suffocate small businesses in this country and trying to 162 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: hurt people that have might actually employ people, is to 163 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: basically call this nothing more than a wealth tax. Now 164 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: there's one Democrat that's had no issues calling this exactly 165 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: what it is, a wealth tax, and her, Elizabeth Warren, 166 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: has been pushing this. This was just nine days ago 167 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: when she came out and no one was paying attention 168 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: to her while she was talking about, Hey, a wealth 169 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: tax is something we need in America. So here's fourteen 170 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: hundred dollars to every American out there, right except for 171 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 1: those that make a lot of money. We're not going 172 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: to give you any of your money back. We're gonna 173 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: take your money and give it to other people that 174 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: need your money. And then Senator Warren comes out and says, 175 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:42,839 Speaker 1: what this really is. It's a wealth tax. It is 176 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,319 Speaker 1: a success tax. That's what this is. Take a listen, 177 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: so we'll take questions. How about if we start with 178 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: any questions around the wealth tax, and then if you've 179 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: thought other questions, we'll stay for us. Sure. But by 180 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: the way, she's not I want to hear Elizabeth warrenier. 181 00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: She's not walking away from this, folks. Elizabeth Warren sitting there, 182 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: she's calling it a wealth tax. This is class warfare. 183 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: She is trying to go back to the basic old 184 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: playbook that anyone that has money as evil, even though 185 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: I've got millions and millions of dollars claiming I was 186 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: a minority when I'm actually not getting jobs that would 187 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,559 Speaker 1: have never gotten by claiming I'm a Native American when 188 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 1: I did when I'm not a Native American, acting like 189 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: she's a minority when she wasn't a minority. She's a 190 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: white cracker woman just like me. Exce if I'm a dude, 191 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: she's a chick. Yes, there is a difference. But Elizabeth 192 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: Warren's out there. All these other Democrats you notice that 193 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,559 Speaker 1: are calling this wealth tax. They're all rich as hell. 194 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: Biden's rich as hell, Warren's riches Hell, Pelosi's richest hell. 195 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: And they've all gotten rich being in government, which is 196 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:44,319 Speaker 1: not what's supposed to happen. But they're coming after the 197 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: evil rich people, and they need you to understand we 198 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 1: need a wealth taxas country. We want to turn our 199 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: supporters against a successful in this country. So please ask 200 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: me questions about the wealth tax. I want you to 201 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: know that I'm going to war with these evil rich people, 202 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: which I'm one of. How about if we start with 203 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: any questions around the wealth tax and then if you've 204 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 1: got other questions, we'll stay fit of sure. Look, I'd 205 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 1: be delighted to see us move forward with the wealth 206 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 1: tax at any point. Uh. It's something we need in America. 207 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: And that's why we're out here today. We're putting it 208 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: out so everyone can see it and start to talk 209 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,719 Speaker 1: about it. It's got a lot of details and how 210 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 1: it works. It's got things like what the what the 211 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: rate will be for uh, monitoring the income and checking 212 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: out each of the billionaires that are subject to it 213 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: and the ultra millionaires. But we want to put it 214 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 1: out there so people can start to consider it and 215 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: put it in a package. We need to move forward 216 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 1: on this. Here's my question, why is it that we 217 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,439 Speaker 1: have demonized and made rich people so evil when it's 218 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: rich people that are the people that give us jobs. 219 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: Rich people are the ones that create the biggest and 220 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 1: the coolest industries out there. They're the ones that take 221 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 1: the biggest risks to create new interests in infrastructure. I mean, well, 222 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: look at Tesla for example. That guy risks money like crazy, 223 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: whether it's SpaceX or whatever it may be. These guys, 224 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:18,599 Speaker 1: if they're wrong, lose hundreds of millions. If not billions 225 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: of dollars. Why are we demonizing them and turning them 226 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: into spawn of Satan? Because they need class warfare in 227 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,439 Speaker 1: this country. You know. Bill Cassie was on Fox New 228 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,079 Speaker 1: Sunday talking about the Trump tax cuts, and he was right. 229 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: He said, look, the tax cuts to quote evil big 230 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 1: businesses allowed us record employment rates, meaning record unemployment rates, 231 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:50,079 Speaker 1: all time lows. Meanwhile, you listen to Joe Biden and 232 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,679 Speaker 1: he says, no, no no, no, no no, I gotta get rid 233 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,559 Speaker 1: of all these evil big businesses. They got tax breaks 234 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: that went into record hiring, that had more people employed 235 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: than any other time in my lifetime. I got to 236 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: stop that from happening because I need people dependent on 237 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 1: the government, my food, my food stands, my government aid. 238 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: That's what Biden needs to win. That's what the Democrats 239 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: need to win. They need people dependent on them where 240 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: they can't survive and the lights are turned off if 241 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: they're not they're defending or writing that check. Take a 242 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 1: listen to Bill Cassie talking about the Trunk tax cuts 243 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: to big businesses, and the fact is it allowed for 244 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: record employment in America. It worked. In other words, out 245 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,599 Speaker 1: just exactly that in the next segment. But let me, 246 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: come at this one last way. President Biden is going 247 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: to be traveling around the country in the next few 248 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:43,479 Speaker 1: weeks saying things like this, it provides food and nutrition, 249 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,679 Speaker 1: keeps families in their homes, and it will cut child 250 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: poverty in this country in half. He and other Democrats 251 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: are gonna say, look back in twenty seventeen, Republicans and 252 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,599 Speaker 1: President Trump passed big tax cuts to benefit corporations and 253 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: the wealthy. We the Democrats, he's going to say, are 254 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: taking care of working class people. So first, let's look 255 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: at the Trump economy, if you will, in which there 256 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: was red record employment for those without a high school education, 257 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: for high school dropouts, for the disabled, for veterans, for 258 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: African Americans, Hispanics, women fill in the blank record employment. Now, 259 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: that was the sort of economy that resulted from the 260 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: Trump tax cuts. Indeed, the last time I was on 261 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: with you, you had somebody from President Biden's Economic Council 262 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: saying they wanted to return to the economy pre COVID. 263 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: He kind of caught himself because that was the Republican 264 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: Senate and the Trump economy. Now now they're trying to 265 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: do it by just pumping dollars in it may work 266 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: or may night inflation, which pulls down somebody into a 267 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: vortex of losing their savings. We'll see. Is it better 268 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 1: to let people keep the own money or is it 269 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: better to take it from him and give it back. 270 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: That's the difference between the two parties, which is exactly 271 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: what Biden is doing. Right now, here's fourteen hundred hours 272 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: of your money back. Right. This isn't anybody else's money, 273 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: it's your money. Here's fourteen hundred bucks back of your dollars. 274 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: And while I give it back to you, I'm going 275 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: to tell you I'm about to raise the crap out 276 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: of your taxes. And they're not just done with this. 277 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 1: So you understand, Mayor Pete. He's the guy in charge 278 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: of energy and all this other crap. He has now 279 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 1: come out today saying that we should explore indexing the 280 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: gas tax to inflation. So he wants to raise the 281 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: tax on you at the pump as well. For infrastructure, 282 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 1: get possible trust to go forward and thrive as a country. 283 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: Mister Secretary, you've gotten into the dot and had a 284 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 1: quick look under the hood. I'm curious what are America's 285 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: greatest infrastructure needs right now? If there is an infrastructure 286 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: bill that's following up, what are some of the most 287 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: important elements that need to be in that bill. Well, 288 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: if there's a lot we've got to do to look 289 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: to the futures and think about what it would mean 290 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: to this country if Americans could expect the same quality 291 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: of passenger rail travel as people in other developed countries. 292 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: Think about what it will mean to this country when 293 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: we have enough electric vehicle charging stations that these incredible 294 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: vehicles that Detroit and other automakers are producing are something 295 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 1: you can take anywhere. But by the way, you noticed 296 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: that they're selling you a lie. Right now, right we're 297 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: going to put up a bunch of random charging stations 298 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 1: that you've seen all over the country where they put 299 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: them up with these tax breaks under Biden years that 300 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: no one is using. There's a charging station at almost 301 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: every Walgreens and cvs around my house, and I never 302 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 1: see a car plugged in. That was all paid for 303 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: with your tax hours. It was all these tax breaks. 304 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 1: If you became like a green parking lot, it's not 305 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: a joke. It's in the Obama years, and we'll pay 306 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: you to put these in. You just heard mayor pet 307 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 1: this is the Secretary of Transportation, the US Department transtation 308 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: telling you that we're going to do rail service now 309 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: in this kumbayaway. We'll get you all over the country. 310 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: We're a spread out country, dude, that we're not Europe. 311 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,120 Speaker 1: Rail service in America doesn't make sense like it makes 312 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 1: sense in Europe. How much money are you going to 313 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: spend on this. I'm in favor of rail where it 314 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,119 Speaker 1: makes sense, right. I used Amtrak from DC to New 315 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: York probably a hundred times when I lived in DC. 316 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 1: It makes sense when you're in the Northeast where there's 317 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,640 Speaker 1: a lot of places close like Connecticut, New York City 318 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 1: and all these other trains and Amtrak. That makes sense 319 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: large population areas. But if you think we're going to 320 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,400 Speaker 1: get a rail system all over the country, what good 321 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 1: would a rail really do and how many people are 322 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: really going to use it in place like Tennessee, Missisippian Arkansas. 323 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: I mean, is there some massive need that I know 324 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,399 Speaker 1: about of a rail from Memphis to Little Rock? And 325 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 1: would it ever become financially stable? No? Would people would 326 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: I can maybe do it at first, sure, but ultimately 327 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: a lot of people when you have longer areas and 328 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 1: distances to cover. Would rather be in their car, so 329 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: they can stop where they want to, they can eat 330 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: where they want to, They're not locked in for hours 331 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 1: on end in a train. Our states are too long, 332 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: they're too big, they're too wide, they're too open for 333 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,360 Speaker 1: it to make sense for there to be train travel everywhere. 334 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: That's why people fly. But then on one flying, flying 335 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: is bad for the world, right, Flying is bad for 336 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: green energy. So we're going to spend a bunch of 337 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 1: money on you having a bunch of charging stations and 338 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: a bunch of railways that won't be used by people 339 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 1: because it will still take too long to get from 340 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,199 Speaker 1: point A to point B. Or people would rather just 341 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:43,120 Speaker 1: be in their dead gum cars. But we're gonna force 342 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 1: you into this, and we're gonna force you into this 343 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: by what Mayor Pete says next, and that is we're 344 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,919 Speaker 1: gonna explode taxes at the pump and what it costs 345 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 1: to fill your car up with gas, not just the 346 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 1: actual price of oil, but also the taxes you pay 347 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:04,400 Speaker 1: at the pump. The reason why Mayor Pete has come 348 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: out and is the guy that's in charge. How he 349 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: got this job at the US Department Translations to Translations secretaries. 350 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: Because he hates oil and gas. He's been on records 351 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 1: hating all gas for decades. He believes that you should 352 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 1: be forced in alternative energy. And that's exactly the reason 353 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 1: why now he's saying we are exploring indexing the gas 354 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 1: tax to inflation, because he wants the price of gas 355 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,879 Speaker 1: to get so expensive that then you will get an 356 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: electric car that you will get on one of his 357 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 1: railways that he wants to build in this country, to 358 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,399 Speaker 1: force you in a mass transit instead of independence of 359 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:45,159 Speaker 1: having your own car. Democrats have done something, and I 360 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: warned about this ten years ago. They've figured out that 361 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: it's a lot easier to price you out of things 362 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: and is to pass laws banning things. Look at what 363 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 1: they're trying to do with guns. They want to have 364 00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,640 Speaker 1: a two hundred dollar tax on a magazine, a two 365 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 1: hundred our at tax on every gun that you have 366 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,199 Speaker 1: that they don't like. They want to now make it 367 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: where it's impossible for you to be able to afford 368 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: what it costs to drive a car. So you all 369 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: go back to our turn of energy. It's the same 370 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 1: thing Obama administration did. That's what they advocated for. So 371 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: they're just resurrecting these old ideas and now pushing them 372 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: even more into the future, forcing the price up even 373 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: more than we're willing to do it under the Obama years. 374 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: So now all of a sudden, Mayor Pete comes out 375 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: at the same time Biden's coming out saying I'm going 376 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 1: to raise your taxes more than anybody else has in 377 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: your lifetime. And I'm going to raise a tax on 378 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: you at the pump more than anybody else has probably 379 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,680 Speaker 1: in their lifetime as well. It's not just the kind 380 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,120 Speaker 1: of sizzling futuristic stuff. Frankly, a lot of it's taken 381 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 1: care of the basics. The engineers came out with their 382 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: report card again, I think we got a D plus 383 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: and a lot of the categories because we know that 384 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,919 Speaker 1: there was an enormous backlog just in terms of our 385 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: roads and bridges. We've just got to fix us. Governor 386 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,919 Speaker 1: Whitmer often said to fix the damn roads, and that 387 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,920 Speaker 1: is a safety issue. We know what happens when a 388 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 1: bridge is in poor repair and is allowed to stay 389 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,160 Speaker 1: that way. It's a job's issue because there's an enormous 390 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: amount of work to be done. So We're going to 391 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 1: have to do equal parts looking to the future but 392 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 1: also taking care of what we've already got, with an 393 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 1: eye toward climate, with an eye toward equity, and with 394 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: an eye toward all the jobs that we can create, 395 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: while also making it all safer and paying for it 396 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 1: and getting Republicans on board for a massive infrastructure plan. 397 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:40,919 Speaker 1: There are most see years ahead of work, possibly tens 398 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,439 Speaker 1: of thousands of jobs created, but it's got to be 399 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: paid for. What are your thoughts looking ahead at working 400 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 1: with Republicans to get a plan approved. Yeah, I think 401 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 1: it's no secret that this is going to be the 402 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: most challenging part about keeping this bipartisan. I'll tell you 403 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 1: I'm talking to Republicans in the House and Senate just 404 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: about every day. They are just as excited as the 405 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 1: rest of the American people about what we can build, 406 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: what we can repair, what we can do for infrastructure, 407 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 1: because you know, everybody here in Washington represents a home 408 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,639 Speaker 1: state or a home district that needs the work. But 409 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: we've got to come to terms on how to pay 410 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: for it. Now. The real question is how much of 411 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 1: this should be paid for with revenue that is raised 412 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: as part of the vision for the bill, and there 413 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: are a lot of different ways to get at that. 414 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: You know, Historically, for example, we've mostly relied on the 415 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: gas tax in order to fund our highways. But the 416 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,199 Speaker 1: gas tax hasn't been adjusted since nineteen ninety three. It 417 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 1: was never pegged to inflation. And even at best, that's 418 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 1: a medium term solution because as electric vehicles come onto 419 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 1: the road, people are going to use less gas anyway, 420 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,120 Speaker 1: So we've got a lot of decisions to oh did 421 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 1: you hear that? So even as electric vehicles come on 422 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 1: here it is here, it is folks. Here's the kicker. 423 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: Even as electric vehicles come into you know reality, right, 424 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: even as electric vehicles come in, we know that there's 425 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 1: gonna be more electric vehicles on the road, which means 426 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:13,879 Speaker 1: less gas will be bought, which means it's gonna have 427 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:18,640 Speaker 1: to go even higher to deal with that. So they're 428 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: gonna just skyrocket and force you to pay for the 429 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 1: roads that are being used by the electric vehicles. So 430 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: then you'll want to get that electric vehicle. But then 431 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 1: what happens to our roads when they're just getting hammered 432 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: every day by the electric vehicles? You know what's gonna 433 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: happen they'll raise taxes on you then anyway, because there's 434 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: no reason not to. Right, you just raise taxes in 435 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 1: any way because there's literally no reason not to do 436 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: it at that point, no reason at all not to 437 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 1: do it. Just let's just let's go, let's do it. 438 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: Let's make it happen. We're gonna make this work, right, 439 00:23:55,800 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 1: We gotta make this happen right now. And I love 440 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,159 Speaker 1: how they act and talk about this like it's just 441 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: not even an issue, it's not a big deal. You 442 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,159 Speaker 1: just gotta make it happen, folks, You just gotta you 443 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 1: just gotta eat it and bite the bullet and make 444 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: this happen. And we're gonna raise taxes on the roads. 445 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: We're gonna raise taxes on individuals. We're gonna raise taxes 446 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 1: the pump. We're going to force you into believing what 447 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 1: we believe. You don't have options anymore with these people. 448 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: There are only bad options. You either get on board 449 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: or run over you are. Those are your options. You 450 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 1: get on board, or we'll bury you. So the left 451 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 1: has just gotten evil, as we said, or excuse me, 452 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: the writer has gotten evil. The rich you've got our evil, 453 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: as they've declared, over and over and over again. And 454 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 1: this is how we're gonna do this. Now, we're gonna 455 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 1: pound you into submission, and you don't have a choice. 456 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 1: We are going to own you. There is no nothing 457 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: that you can do to stop us. We're gonna tell 458 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: you as we've been doing what you can and cannot do, 459 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: and you can't stop us. Man, it must be fun 460 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: to be a democrat. Right now, force us all into submission. 461 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,199 Speaker 1: Raise our taxes while handing us a check. Raising, I mean, 462 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 1: raising our taxes while handing us a check is probably 463 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:28,439 Speaker 1: the most cajone is saying I've ever seen Joe Biden do. 464 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: Here's you your fourteen hundred dollars. Now give me all 465 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 1: your money. What that's right, here's fourteen hundred dollars. Now 466 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:43,719 Speaker 1: I'm going to raise your taxes. We're going full out 467 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:52,679 Speaker 1: class warfare, full on class warfare, total class warfare. You 468 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: have any amount of money in a bank account, you 469 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 1: make any decent money, We're gonna pound you. You have 470 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,919 Speaker 1: any basic amount of cash, and you and you and 471 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 1: you create jobs, and you build businesses, and you take risks, 472 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 1: We're gonna pound you. This is a war of having 473 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,679 Speaker 1: have knots. This is what we are now doing. It 474 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 1: is a war of have and have knots. The price 475 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 1: of everything is about to go through the roof, and 476 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:27,880 Speaker 1: they are planning it on purpose. This is all on purpose. 477 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: You've been warned. Many people voted for this. You're welcome. 478 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 1: We told you this was going to be a problem, 479 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 1: and so many didn't listen. You didn't pay attention. And 480 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 1: may Or Pete just said it, and so did all 481 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,679 Speaker 1: these others. They said it to you beforehand, and now 482 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: they're doing it, and people are gonna be in shock, like, wait, 483 00:26:57,960 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: hold on, I didn't know this was actually going to happen. 484 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,919 Speaker 1: What did you think we're gonna I mean, what's going 485 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 1: to happen? Even Liz Cheney said this about the taxes. 486 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us today. We've got a number of 487 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: pieces of legislation that we continue to be very concerned about. Obviously, 488 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 1: the COVID package, which is coming to the floor. We 489 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 1: don't know either today or tomorrow. It's a real tragedy 490 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: when you look at that package. We know that that 491 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 1: the result of that package is going to be middle 492 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:34,679 Speaker 1: class tax increases. We know for sure that it includes 493 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 1: provisions that are not targeted. They're not temporary, they're not 494 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 1: related to COVID, And it didn't have to be this way. 495 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,679 Speaker 1: We could have had a bill that was, you know, 496 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 1: a fraction of the class of this one, that could 497 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 1: have gotten bipartisan approval and support. But the Speaker decided 498 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 1: to go in another direction, and so we are going 499 00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 1: to be saddled with a burden spending bird and a 500 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 1: tax burden that is really indefensible from the perspective of 501 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 1: what it actually accomplishes. Even Liz Chenney, who I'm not 502 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 1: a fan of right now, gets what's about to happen. 503 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 1: A massive tax increase. So congratulations, you're getting these checks, 504 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,359 Speaker 1: and immediately they're going to raise your taxes at levels 505 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: we haven't seen in the nineteen nineties. And then they're 506 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,360 Speaker 1: going to raise the taxes at the pump, and then 507 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,959 Speaker 1: you've got states they're gonna end up raising taxes just 508 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: like we've seen in California and Hawaii, in Seattle and 509 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 1: all these other places where they're raising taxes. And the 510 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 1: reason why they're raising the taxes is obvious. You know it, 511 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 1: and I know it. It's very clear. Why are they 512 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: doing it right now? Because they can't balance a budget. 513 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 1: And oh, in the one point nine trillion dollar bailout. 514 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 1: Let's not forget all of the things are actually in 515 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: that build that built out place like San Francisco. They've 516 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: got incredible amounts of money in San Francisco, folks. We 517 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 1: built every state that couldn't balance their budget. While other 518 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 1: states balance their budget. No one is talking about that. 519 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 1: You had twenty one thousand for federal employees to stay 520 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 1: at home and work. In this bill, you had twenty 521 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:21,239 Speaker 1: five thousand bonus for state government workers. And then you 522 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: had money going directly to local places that couldn't do 523 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 1: their budgets. Nancy Pelosi got six hundred million of year 524 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: dollars to go to San Francisco because they couldn't deal 525 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 1: with their budgets. One point five billion to Amtrak because 526 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 1: they can't make a dollar. They send all this money 527 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 1: to things that were just portbread projects for people that 528 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 1: couldn't do anything. A total three hundred and fifty billion 529 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 1: dollars in the stimulus bill actually went to bailout blue 530 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 1: states that haven't balanced their budgets. You're welcome, that's what 531 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 1: you just paid for, all right.
