1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:01,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's kickbacks.

2
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 2: So what's going on?

3
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 1: And I've had a great help with Elon Musk, who's

4
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: been terrific. Then I'm going to tell him to go

5
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,079
Speaker 1: check the Department of Education. Then I'm going to go

6
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: to the military.

7
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 2: Let's check the military.

8
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: We're going to find billions, hundreds of billions of dollars

9
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: of fraud and abuse.

10
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 3: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.

11
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 4: Good Monday morning, Ben Ferguson with you. It's nice to

12
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 4: have you with us. And these are the big stories

13
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 4: we're covering today on the forty seven Morning Update. First up,

14
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 4: Democrats are losing their mind as Elon Musk and his

15
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 4: team have now gained more access to a total of

16
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 4: fifteen government agencies. What are they fighting? I'll have it

17
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 4: for you in just a moment. Democrats also trying to

18
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 4: figure out how they are going to fight back against

19
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 4: Donald Trump. And in story number two, elam Omar goes

20
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 4: on National TV to say that Donald Trump is in

21
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 4: essence a dictator and a tyrant when he's just been

22
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 4: on the job for three weeks. And finally, we have

23
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 4: the list of the likely tax cuts that could save

24
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 4: you and your family a ton of money that Donald

25
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 4: Trump wants in the Reconciliation Bill will have those details

26
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 4: as well. It's the forty seven Morning Update and it

27
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 4: starts right now.

28
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 2: Story number one.

29
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 4: If there's one thing that Donald Trump has done that

30
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 4: has really made the left angry, it's the fact that

31
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 4: he's exposing the waste of fraud and the good old

32
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,119
Speaker 4: abuse in the United States government. We're also finding out

33
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 4: each and every day just how bad things have gotten.

34
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 4: And now it seems clear that Donald Trump is saying

35
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 4: to Elon Musk and his team, go find it all.

36
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 4: Elon Musk and his team have now swept into fifteen agencies,

37
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 4: and this is what we know. Staffers and allies of

38
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 4: Musk and his service are well fanning out across Washington

39
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 4: in the last week, especially seeking access to data and

40
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 4: disrupting operations in at least fifteen government agencies in pursuit

41
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 4: of dramatically smaller federal government. DOGE, which you know stands

42
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 4: for the Department of Government Efficiency, has not disclosed the

43
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 4: names of its staff members, but the Washington Post is

44
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 4: trying to do a let's out you list. They've identified

45
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 4: now more than thirty people working for closely with by

46
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 4: examining the internal directories they claim a multiple agencies and

47
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 4: interviewing numerous federal workers, virtually all of whom spoke on

48
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 4: condition of eminemity to fear for quote, major retaliation. Now,

49
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 4: this is when you know that Elon Musk is getting

50
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 4: somewhere in Donald Trump. When you have this many people

51
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 4: inside the government that are trying to undermine the people

52
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 4: that are working with Doge, They're hoping that they can

53
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 4: get them in trouble or find a way to get

54
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 4: them fired. Now, about half of those identified have ties

55
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 4: to Musk or his companies. Why well, these are clearly

56
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 4: the people that he trusts with his companies and also

57
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 4: people that operate at another level when it comes to intellect. Now,

58
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 4: among those are young people, and the reality is many

59
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 4: on the Democratic Party are angry at the fact that

60
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 4: many of these people working for Elon Musk are young

61
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 4: in their twenties. Another way of putting it, it's clear

62
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 4: age discrimination. They don't like the fact that young people

63
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,679
Speaker 4: are coming in and looking at ways to cost cut

64
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 4: or looking for the waste, fraud and abuse and exposing it.

65
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 4: The way that Elon Musk is on X. What's also

66
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 4: very interesting about what's happening now is much of the waste, fraud,

67
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 4: and abuse is being exposed instantly because Elon Musk will

68
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 4: get the information, then he checks and verifies it, and

69
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 4: then he's putting it out on social media, so that

70
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 4: you know, before the media can protect or stop the

71
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 4: story from ever being written. He's going around the media now.

72
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 4: Donald Trump was asked in an interview during the halftime

73
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 4: of the Super Bowl on Sunday night if he trusts

74
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 4: Elon Musk, because again, what is the left doing trying

75
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 4: to tell you that Elon Musk and his staff cannot

76
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 4: be trusted. What did Donald Trump say, Take a listen.

77
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's kickbacks or what's going on,

78
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: but the people, look, I ran on this, and the

79
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: people want me to find it. And I've had a

80
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: great help with Elon Musk, who's been terrific.

81
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 2: I'm on, you say you trust him?

82
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: Trust Elon? Oh, he's not gaining anything. In fact, I

83
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: wonder how he can devote the time to it. He's

84
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: so into it. But I told him to do that.

85
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: Then I'm going to tell him very soon, like maybe

86
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: in twenty four hours to go check the Department of Education.

87
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: He's going to find the same thing. Then I'm going

88
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 1: to go to the military. Let's check the military. We're

89
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: going to find billions, hundreds of billions of dollars of

90
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: fraud and abuse. And you know, the people elected me on.

91
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 4: That hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud and abuse.

92
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 4: It was very clear the President was saying to you,

93
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 4: the American people, you told me what the mandate was.

94
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 4: You wanted me to cut the size of government. You

95
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 4: wanted me to make sure that they weren't wasting your

96
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 4: tax dollars. You wanted to make sure that your money

97
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 4: was going to America first policies. That is exactly what

98
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 4: Donald Trump is delivering on, and he's expanding the scope

99
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 4: of where he's looking for all of the government waste, fraud.

100
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 2: And abuse. Now story number two, it is very.

101
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 4: Clear Democrats are trying to find their footing and how

102
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 4: they're going to deal with all the successes over the

103
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 4: last three weeks of Donald Trump's agenda. They understand now

104
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 4: that they've got to come up with some plan to

105
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 4: undermine him. The media is obviously on board to help

106
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 4: with that. Alam Omar has come out just days after

107
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 4: Democrats already called for a third impeachment of Donald Trump

108
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 4: from the floor of the House to say that it's

109
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 4: very clear that Donald Trump has decided he will not

110
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 4: abide their claiming by the Constitution. They're now saying he

111
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 4: is a dictator and a tyrant. Well representative. Alam Omar

112
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 4: on Sunday on CBS Facination had a few other things

113
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 4: to say about Donald Trump. This is their game plan

114
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 4: of how they're going to undermine him. Listen carefully to

115
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 4: the word she uses.

116
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 5: We're joined now by Democratic Congressman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.

117
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 5: Good to have you here. You have spoken quite a

118
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 5: bit this week about what USAID meant in your life,

119
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 5: particularly when you were living in a refugee camp for

120
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 5: four years and USAID you talked about helping to keep

121
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 5: you alive. We know this week a federal judge will

122
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 5: come to some kind of hearing and decision perhaps on

123
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 5: what happens to all those government workers. Are the courts

124
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 5: the main line of defense here?

125
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,799
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, what we are witnessing is a constitutional crisis.

126
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 6: We are seeing an executive branch that has decided that

127
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 6: they are no longer going to abide by the Constitution

128
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 6: in honoring Congress's role in the creation of the agencies,

129
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 6: in their role in deciding where money is allocated. And

130
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 6: so the only recourse we have since our congressional leadership

131
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 6: the Speaker will not stop the executive is through the judiciary.

132
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 6: And this is you know, when you think about the

133
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 6: checks and balances that we have, the courts are the

134
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 6: only recourse we have at the moment, and we have

135
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 6: seen and when we talk about the illegality of what

136
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 6: the executive is doing, we have seen every single executive

137
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 6: order that has been challenged in the courts was found

138
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 6: to be illegal. And that I think should give faith

139
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 6: to the American people that our courts are working as

140
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 6: they should. The checks and balances are working. What is

141
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 6: not working is the way that the executive is behaving

142
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 6: and the congressional leadership that is failing the American people.

143
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 5: Well, some of these court cases are ongoing.

144
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 4: So by the way, let's just be clear over what

145
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 4: she just said. She just claimed that the court systems

146
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 4: had stopped Donald try up on every executive order. That

147
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,239
Speaker 4: is a lie. And as you could even hear there,

148
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 4: and I'm sure this was hard for them to do.

149
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 4: A CBS Face the Nation. They even tried to somewhat

150
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 4: correct her and say, well, these are ongoing, He's only

151
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 4: been present for three weeks. How can you make such

152
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 4: an egregious claim. You also have to remember who the

153
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 4: Democrats are putting out on TV. Face The Democratic Party

154
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 4: now has become so radical they decide to put a

155
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 4: congresswoman out there as their faced this week on Face

156
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 4: the Nation, a woman that referred to the nine to

157
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 4: eleven Terris as some people that did some things. We

158
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 4: also are finding out that the Democrats are putting different

159
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 4: extremists out there to try to find out a way

160
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 4: to undermine the president. You noticed in the beginning of

161
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 4: that interview, Margaret Brennan is talking about we know that

162
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 4: USAID meant so much to you and your life. Why

163
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 4: did she say that, Well, it's very clear they're trying

164
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 4: to cover for the abuse, waste, the fraud coming from

165
00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 4: USAID and even the funneling of money to actual Harris.

166
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 4: So what better person have on TV to defend the

167
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 4: program than a woman that refers to the nine to

168
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 4: eleven hijackers as some people that did some things. Now

169
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 4: Omar was not done there. She also went on to

170
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 4: say this. I mean, what we're witnessing is a constitutional crisis.

171
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 4: We are seeing executive brands that has decided they no

172
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 4: longer are going to abide by the Constitution and honoring

173
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 4: Congress's role in the creation of the agencies and their

174
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 4: role and in deciding where money is allocated. So now,

175
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 4: what does she say? You have a president of the

176
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 4: United States of America that has gone rogue. I think

177
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 4: it's pretty clear the Democrats are now trying anything they

178
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 4: can to get their footing, whether it's impeaching Donald Trump

179
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 4: or saying he's a dictator or a tyrant or someone

180
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 4: not abiding by the constitution, all because Democrats don't know

181
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 4: what to do because there's so much winning going on

182
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 4: in Washington.

183
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 2: And lastly, story number three, I have.

184
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 4: An important list for you today, and is the list

185
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 4: of the likely tax cuts now Donald Trump wants in

186
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 4: the reconciliation bill. What this means for everyday Americans is

187
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 4: real savings for you.

188
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 2: Now.

189
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 4: The plan has become even more ambitious, mainly because of

190
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 4: all the well abuse of your tax dollars that the

191
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 4: Trump administration has found in the last three weeks. The

192
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 4: Press Secretary Carolin Levitt came out to explain just one

193
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 4: of the abuses of your tax dollars being used against you,

194
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 4: and it was when the money they found was going

195
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 4: to media outlets including Politico. This is what has spun

196
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 4: the President up to give more of your money back

197
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 4: to you.

198
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 7: So upon coming out here to the briefing room, I

199
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 7: was made aware of the funding from USAID to media

200
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 7: outlets including Politico, who I know has a seat in

201
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 7: this room, and I can confirm that the more than

202
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 7: eight million taxpayer dollars that have gone to essentially subsidizing

203
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 7: subscriptions to Politico, the American taxpayer's dying will no longer

204
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 7: be happening. The dog's team is working on canceling those

205
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 7: payments now.

206
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 4: So when they find the money and then they decide

207
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 4: to cancel these types of payments, the question many asked was, well,

208
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 4: what's going to happen next? Well, it now is clear

209
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 4: the president saying he wants you to keep more of

210
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 4: your money and stop giving so much of it to

211
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 4: the government. President Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans are in

212
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 4: deep negotiations and went all weekend long on a tax

213
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 4: package that a budget watchdog group estimated would actually save

214
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 4: you five to eleven point two trillion over the next decade. Now,

215
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 4: if you read the media's explanation of that, they'll tell

216
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 4: you it's going to cost you between five trillion to

217
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 4: eleven point two trillion. No, no, that's how much the

218
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 4: government will not get from you. A series of tax

219
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 4: policy changes that Trump's supports appear to have broad support

220
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 4: among Republicans in Congress. The Committee for a Responsible Federal

221
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 4: Budget has released a study that projects the cost of

222
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 4: each item over a ten year period is going to

223
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 4: be huge page for you, the American people. Now, on

224
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 4: that list, at the top of it was one big thing,

225
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 4: eliminating taxes on tips. This was a huge promise from

226
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 4: Donald Trump during the campaign, something he said he would

227
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 4: work on as soon as he got into the White House.

228
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 4: It would result in a one hundred billion to five

229
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty billion reduction in federal tax revenue, meaning

230
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,559
Speaker 4: one hundred to five hundred and fifty billion of taxes

231
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 4: that you wouldn't have to pay to the government. We

232
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 4: also found out exempting overtime pay from federal taxes would

233
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 4: also give two hundred and fifty to three trillion back

234
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 4: into the pockets of American workers, and finally exempting Social

235
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 4: Security benefits from federal taxes would now cost between five

236
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty billion and one point five trillion. That's

237
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 4: how the government is reporting it to the media as

238
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 4: they're trying to keep more of your dollars. So what

239
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 4: does it really mean. It means that Donald Trump and

240
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 4: the Republicans are wanting you to keep between five hundred

241
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 4: and fifty billion to one point five trillion that you

242
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 4: normally would have paid in taxes. We also have been

243
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 4: told that the present wants to lower taxes for US

244
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 4: production of certain goods that would save you between one

245
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 4: hundred to two hundred billion, and reducing tax benefits for

246
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,839
Speaker 4: stadium owners and ending the carried interest loophole. They would

247
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 4: also save the taxpayers one hundred billion dollars. Now, all

248
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 4: of this is being put together in one of the

249
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 4: biggest tax plans we've ever seen. But this is not

250
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 4: a big tax plan that's going to raise your taxes.

251
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 4: It's going to go down in history as one of

252
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 4: the biggest tax cuts in American history. And this is

253
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 4: the reason why Democrats right now are so terrified of

254
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 4: Donald Trump and his success, because three weeks in we

255
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 4: also know that Donald Trump has a new high approval rating,

256
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 4: meaning the American people are paying attention and the American

257
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 4: people are in favor of exactly what Donald Trump is doing.
