So, with 24 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: the one big Beautiful bill being passed in the Senate, 25 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 1: now we'll go to the House. Plans now as of 26 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: today are that it will be debated and voted on. 27 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 1: Hopefully tomorrow, uh, and hopefully passed. And UH, there's more 28 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 1: good in it. But as I said both on radio 29 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: yesterday on TV last night, there are a lot of 30 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: provisions policies I don't like, uh, and there's a lot 31 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: more cutting that I want to see. And I think that. 32 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: But with that said, this legislation, you know, the it'll 33 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: be the largest tax cut in American history, and Democrats 34 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: will be voting for the largest tax increase in American history. 35 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: The bill also eliminates taxes on tips, and over time, 36 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: eighty eight percent of seniors will not pay taxes on 37 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: Social Security as a result of this bill. There is 38 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: a misnomer and a myth, Oh, these tax cuts, we 39 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: can't afford them. We've got to pay for them, which 40 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: is the argument that some of my friends make. And 41 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 1: I'm like, no, you're wrong, because Reagan cut taxes from 42 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: seventy to twenty eight percent the top marginal rate, and 43 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: revenues to the federal government actually doubled. The bill not perfectly, 44 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: but it eliminates you know, it tackles waste, fraud and 45 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: abuse of Medicaid, creates a new work requirement for able 46 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 1: bodied Americans. You know, just to fact check it. There's 47 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: been a lot of demagoguery going on, and thank god, 48 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: most Americans, unlike me, were sleep last night. You know, Oh, 49 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: only the wealthy benefit from the tax cuts. Well, we're 50 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: going to introduce shit a Kurt Couchman, a senior fellow 51 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: in Fiscal Policy for Americans for Prosperity, and he points 52 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: out it doesn't make it true because they say it. 53 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: The twenty seventeen Tax Cuts and Jobs Act helped all Americans, 54 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 1: not just a fortune a few, and lower taxes across 55 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: every income level and simplified you know, filing by doubling 56 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: the standard deduction and adjusting it annually annually for inflation. 57 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: The bill cuts Medicaid for people who rely on it. 58 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: That's another lie. The reforms to Medicaid and the One 59 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: Big Beautiful Bill aren't about cuts. They're focused on fixing 60 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 1: a broken system to better serve the people that need 61 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,839 Speaker 1: it most, and you know, and putting in work requirements 62 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: for able bodied people. You know, I thought, we're you know, 63 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: it is the reform that has been necessary for a 64 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: long time. The idea that Medicaid and medicare you get 65 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: the same service you literally paid nine times more in 66 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: some cases for the exact same medical procedure, if you're 67 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: getting Medicare versus Medicaid. It's insane. And the idea that 68 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: tax cuts somehow, Oh, no, it's going to explode the deficit. Well, no, 69 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: hopefully it's not going to explode the deficil because again, 70 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: Reagan doubled revenues by cutting taxes, and that's what happens 71 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: every time he cut taxes. But Trump's first three years 72 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: in office, when he cut taxes, it created record low 73 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: after record low unemployment for every American, for African Americans, 74 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,799 Speaker 1: Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, women in the workplace, African American 75 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 1: youth unemployment. That would be inclusive, that would be one 76 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: that's helping working men and women. Democrats voted against what 77 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,679 Speaker 1: they want to keep taxing tips to the maximum level 78 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: and tax overtime to the maximum level and not incentivize 79 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: people to work harder. That's insane, and this is a 80 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 1: great first step. I want to see other things. I 81 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,919 Speaker 1: didn't like the salt deduction in the bill, but on measure, 82 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: it's the having been up all night, we did not 83 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: have the votes by eight am this morning because I 84 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,359 Speaker 1: was up talking to senators all night. They did not 85 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 1: have the votes as of eight am this morning. And 86 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: then people say, well, you know, this is unfortunately the 87 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: way the swamp works, but it is the most conservative 88 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: bill I've seen in my lifetime. Kurt Couchman with US 89 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: Senior Fellow Fiscal Policy at Americans for Prosperity. 90 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 5: How are you, sir, Hey San, I'm doing well. That 91 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 5: was all very well said, and I'm glad to be 92 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 5: with you today. 93 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: All right, you have studied all of this, and you know, 94 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: a lot of the demagoguery that we heard is like 95 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: the typical, you know, language that we hear every two 96 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: and four years during elections that Republicans of racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, 97 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: is lamophobic. They want dirty air and water, and they 98 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: want grandma and grandpa ty dog and cat food before 99 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: Donald Trump throws them over a cliff in a wheelchair. 100 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: And when they say, and they were out there saying 101 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: this only benefits the wealthy, that's a lie. When they 102 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: said this bill cuts medicaid for the people who rely 103 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: on it, that's a lie. That it will explode the deficit. 104 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: You point out all three of those of major lies. 105 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely true. The tax cuts in this bill build 106 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 5: on the twenty seventeen tax cuts, and those have benefited 107 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 5: all Americans, sometimes directly through your personal income taxes, but 108 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 5: also through making investment more profitable and more investment going 109 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 5: into the economy increases our productivity and also our wages. 110 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 5: There are provisions in this that will improve healthcare for 111 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 5: all Americans. It will shift resources from the inefficient, low 112 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 5: value green energy nonsense into the energy resources that will 113 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 5: make electricity cheaper for all Americans, and drive manufacturing and 114 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 5: innovation all across the country. 115 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: Well, there's other things that the President's doing that will 116 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: benefit the economy also. It seems to have gone unnoticed 117 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: by most in the legacy media, but nobody really pays 118 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: attention to them anymore anyway. But I think it's a 119 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: big deal that the President has made this push and 120 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 1: as part of this build to push America towards energy dominance. 121 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: Not only will that make us an energy rich country 122 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 1: and result in a lot of revenues that we're really 123 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 1: not planning on, but similarly create high paying career jobs 124 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: in the energy sector. The President was able to secure, 125 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: through his trade policy and tariff policy, over ten trillion 126 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: dollars in manufacturing commitments for the next four years, and 127 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: in critical national security areas like pharmaceuticals and semiconductor chips, 128 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: but also auto manufacturing. That's a big win again for 129 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: American workers, and that's high paying career jobs and they 130 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: won't be competing with Biden Harris, the illegals that are 131 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: being deported every day. 132 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, there are a lot of things going on right now. 133 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 5: The administration is doing many, many different things that are 134 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 5: good for the country, good for growth. This bill also 135 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 5: includes a lot and it's not the only effort to 136 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 5: restrain spending. I get the spending and the debt under control. 137 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 5: We had a full year continuing resolution that reduced appropriations 138 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 5: compared to the economy has requested recisions, which is canceling 139 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 5: appropriated spending, this wastehold that we don't need. The House 140 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 5: has past that, it's sitting in the Senate. That should 141 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 5: be the next thing they take up and pass. Cut 142 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:15,239 Speaker 5: wasteful spending. There's more recisions requests coming. There are savings 143 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 5: the Trump administration could do on its own just by 144 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 5: changing some of the regulations for some of these programs. 145 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 5: And then there's fixing the whole system. You know, the 146 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 5: federal budget system is totally dysfunctional and broken. It's amazing 147 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 5: that we can get the good things that we're getting 148 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 5: this year given that, But imagine if we had a 149 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 5: functional budget system, like all the incredible things that Congress 150 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 5: could actually deliver along with President Trump for the American people. 151 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: Let me ask you about this. I know that there 152 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: are some Congressmen and maybe justifiably so, and I understand it. 153 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,719 Speaker 1: But on the other hand, it is what it is 154 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: that are frustrated. They weren't up all night talking to 155 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: senators as I was, and I'm just telling you, I'm 156 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: giving you, you know how the sausages. We did not 157 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 1: have the votes at eight am this morning, and then 158 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: finally push came to shove and it was like, okay, 159 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,439 Speaker 1: finally they got the last vote that they needed. I'm 160 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: not going to get into personality. So the changes that 161 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: were made correct me if I'm wrong. This bill in 162 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: the Senate, which never in my lifetime, can I think 163 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 1: of another instance where this happened, saves more money than 164 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: the House bill, and some Republican Congressmen are upset that 165 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: any changes were made. But the problem is the Senate 166 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 1: has this parliamentarian and this process called reconciliation, which caused 167 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 1: them to have to make some changes, not really much 168 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: different in my view from what the House passed. 169 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, there are a lot of great savings in the 170 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 5: House past version. There are a lot of great savings 171 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 5: in the Senate past version. There have been so many 172 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 5: changes that we're still digesting what they've all been, and 173 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 5: of course we need to wait for the scorekeepers to 174 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 5: come out and say how much each provision saved costs 175 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,559 Speaker 5: or whatever. But there's a lot of really good important things, 176 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 5: and that you touched on the border security and the 177 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 5: other defense pieces. One of the things that's really important 178 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 5: about that is that it avoided having to make a 179 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,839 Speaker 5: deal with the Democrats when we did the full year 180 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,079 Speaker 5: continuing resolution earlier in the year. That would have been 181 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,839 Speaker 5: crazy expensive, and so we were able to get those 182 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 5: resources where they were needed without having to make a deal. 183 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 5: There are a lot of things that will have dynamic effects. 184 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 5: There are expansions in health savings accounts and direct primary 185 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 5: care that will help to transform our healthcare system over 186 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 5: the coming years and decades. And of course there's just 187 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 5: so much more that needs to be done. We do 188 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 5: have too much spending, but there are narrow margins in 189 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 5: the House in the Senate, and so this was probably 190 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 5: the best that could have been agreed to under these circumstances. 191 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 5: And it's also important to compare that to what would 192 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,599 Speaker 5: have happened if these tax cuts had to be extended 193 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 5: in a bipartisan deal at the end of the year. 194 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,319 Speaker 5: A lot of the great reform that we're seeing would 195 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 5: be totally impossible. There'd be no way you could get 196 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 5: rid of the Biden green energy stuff. You couldn't make 197 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 5: the substantive changes to healthcare, you couldn't overhaul the student 198 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 5: loan program, you couldn't expand the provisions that will lead 199 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 5: to more investments that make Americans better off. So passing 200 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 5: or not passing this bill would end up being would 201 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 5: end up leading to a far worse deal because it 202 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 5: would have to be done with Democrats, and on every dimension, 203 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 5: whether it's fiscal or the policies or anything else, it 204 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 5: would be inferior to what is currently on the table 205 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 5: and going to the House. 206 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 1: No, I totally agree with you, And again, there are opportunities, 207 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: and I'm not going to count on it. I'm not 208 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 1: going to be naive because I've followed this process for 209 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: far too long. But there's a window of opportunity here 210 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: to get all these good things in the bill, from 211 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: border security and deportation money and defense spending that is 212 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,719 Speaker 1: desperately need, did for the next generation of weaponry, to 213 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: energy issues, to tax cuts that are permanent, to really 214 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: looking out for working men and women in the service industry, 215 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: and it just it has a lot of good things 216 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: in there. The energy sector is another one. Those are 217 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: things that are desperately needed. I'll take those as a 218 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: win now and hopefully they'll come back and do even more. 219 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 5: That's right, Take the win, keep coming back, and there's 220 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 5: just a lot more work to do. But this is 221 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 5: something that is right there, ready to go. So let's 222 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 5: do it right now, and then let's keep working at it. 223 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 5: I mean, Congress is not you know, we've done the 224 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 5: one thing and now we're done. No. No, there's a 225 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 5: lot more on the agenda that we'll need to be 226 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 5: done in the coming months and years. 227 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: I totally agree with all of that. We appreciate your 228 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: time anyway. Kirk Couchman, Senior Fellow Fiscal Policy Americans for Prosperity, 229 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,079 Speaker 1: Thank you, sir, Thanks. 230 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 5: For having me. Sean good to be with you. 231 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,679 Speaker 1: All right, let's get to a busy, busy telephones. All right, 232 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: let's say hi to Cody and Alabama didn't like the 233 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: big beautiful bill. What's up, Cody? How are you glad 234 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 1: you called? 235 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 6: Oh, thank you Sean for taking our calls. My first 236 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 6: time I've ever gotten on. I'm just concerned about the 237 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 6: increased deficit and I hear up to four trillion and 238 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 6: that the spending cuts are delayed after supposedly after Trump's 239 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 6: second term. 240 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: But no, that's not actually true, because the spending cuts 241 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 1: are ongoing with DOZE and they're trying to weed out 242 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: in every department. And DOZE has not stop since Elon 243 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: Musk left. Always fraud, abuse and corruption. And you know 244 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: last week, for example, they came up with billions of 245 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: dollars in discoveries. I mean, it's insane. 246 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 6: Well, concerns of me for when my reading is that 247 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 6: so security will be cut by twenty three percent for everybody. 248 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: And who told you that that's not true? Eighty eight 249 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: percent of seniors. No, they're not getting cuts, they're getting increases, 250 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: and they won't pay taxes on Social Security. 251 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 6: Why now they're talking eight years in the future. 252 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: It'll be well, I'm asking a question, where did you 253 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 1: hear this? Who's telling you this? 254 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 6: Wall Street Journal? And a check it out The New 255 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 6: York Times. Both of them said the same thing. 256 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: The New York Times isn't worth the paper it's printed 257 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: on number one, number two. 258 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 2: I agree with that. 259 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 6: I agree with that. 260 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: But yeah, you know, look, there is an assumption, and 261 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: I think this is where a lot of people make mistakes, 262 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: is that when you cut taxes, and I think you 263 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 1: would agree, cutting taxes on hard working Americans is a 264 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: good thing, right. I believe that eliminating tax on tips 265 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: and social and overtime, or at least reducing them greatly, I 266 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: think that's a good thing. Would you agree with that? 267 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 4: Yes? 268 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: Yes, And making the tax cut permanent, that's a good thing, 269 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: rather than the largest tax increase in history, which would 270 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: happen if this bill expired. 271 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 6: My biggest concern is increasing the death of another four 272 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 6: trillion dollars about it. 273 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: But here's here's you're right, and I see the numbers 274 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: like you do. Let me tell you what's not factored in. 275 00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: Tell me what happened when Reagan dropped the top mark 276 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: general rate from seventy to twenty eight percent, what happened 277 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: to revenues to the federal government while he was president? 278 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: Do you know? 279 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 6: Yeah, they increased, No. 280 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: They didn't increase, They doubled, Okay, and we ended up 281 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: with twenty one million new jobs and the longest period 282 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: of peacetime economic growth in history. When Trump first implemented 283 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: the tax cuts in twenty seventeen, what happened to the economy. 284 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: We had three incredible years with record low after the 285 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: record low unemployment because of all the money that was 286 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: being invested because it was saved. And then that results 287 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: in more revenues to the government. The problem is they 288 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: take in more money, and then Congress spends more money. 289 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: Now there's more that they can do. But to not 290 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: take the tax cuts, and to not take the money 291 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: invested in securing our border, getting rid of criminal illegals, 292 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: not putting reforms in medicaid, et cetera, not bringing out 293 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: the next generation of weaponry, and investing in defense and 294 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: energy dominance, I think would be a mistake. The opportunity 295 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: would be missed, and I would you can just tell you, 296 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 1: having been up all night, that this is the best 297 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: they were going to get out of the Senate or 298 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: your calls on the other side. All right, let's get 299 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: to our busy telephones.

Uh, what's up? Mac? Tell me why you 353 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 1: support the Marxist and global entifata And there shouldn't be 354 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 1: any billionaires and we should take over the means of production. 355 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 1: I've got a new cup we're gonna play on TV tonight. 356 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: Apparently wants to buy up large parcels of land and 357 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 1: have community you know, communes for people. 358 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 2: He well, sir, the uh, the reason I called in 359 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 2: is I think you were being way too hard on him, 360 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,160 Speaker 2: because he at least he comes out and he tells 361 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 2: you what he is. He tells you that he's a socialist, communist, 362 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:34,679 Speaker 2: anti Semite, anti capitalist guy. And too many Rhinos in 363 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,880 Speaker 2: the Republican Party that they don't you don't know who 364 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 2: they are. Until they get elected and then they screw 365 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 2: up the works. I am not a supporter of around 366 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 2: mom Downey. I just I just I do admire him 367 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 2: for coming straight out and saying what he is. 368 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, but he really doesn't come straight out. I mean, 369 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 1: he had three opportunities over the weekend taking them Like, 370 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,199 Speaker 1: for example, if I asked you macint Texas, do you 371 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:00,360 Speaker 1: condemn racism. 372 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:01,199 Speaker 2: Him, Yes, I do. 373 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:05,160 Speaker 1: Of course, of course you do. If I asked you, 374 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,440 Speaker 1: do you condemn anti Semitism? 375 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 2: Yes I do. But also here in America. 376 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 1: Well, why well, he was given three opportunities to do so, 377 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: and based on some of his other previous remarks and 378 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,400 Speaker 1: events that he attended, I think it's pretty obvious where 379 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 1: he stands, and that makes him as far as I'm concerned. 380 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 1: You know a guy that is radicalized and extreme to 381 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: the maximum level, and you're just applauding his honesty. But then, 382 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: you know, here's the danger we have as a country 383 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 1: is that this is what the Democratic Party as a 384 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: whole now is evolved into. That scares me. 385 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 2: That is true that there are a lot of anti 386 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 2: Semites in the Democratic Party. That's why he doesn't denounce it. 387 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 2: Those people are voting for him. 388 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 1: And well, that's that's the bigger picture I'm trying to 389 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,400 Speaker 1: get people to understand. But his party is now run 390 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:07,880 Speaker 1: by Donnie Marxistmondami. It's run by aoc Kasamine Crockett, the Squad, 391 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: Grandpa Bernie Pocahontas. And and there's a reason why you 392 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 1: don't hear from Hakeem Jeffries or Chucky Schumer is because 393 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 1: they're scared to death of their own face. And where 394 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: they would previously in a past life, they would have 395 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: condemned it outright. The party now is just owned by 396 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: the radicals, which maybe is a good thing. The American 397 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: people see it. We learned a lot about Kamala Harrison. 398 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,919 Speaker 1: You know, in the last election, we saw Joe Biden 399 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: leave wide open borders and then lie to us, lie 400 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 1: about his cognitive state, lie about the economy. And we 401 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: see with you know, Kamala Harris, she wants taxpayer funded 402 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 1: sex change operations for illegals. You know, her running mate 403 00:21:54,119 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 1: wanted taxpayer funded education college education for illegals. Also wanted 404 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: to put tampons in boys' bathrooms and schools and grammar schools, 405 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: and also supports gender affirming care without parental consent. That 406 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:13,160 Speaker 1: is the party on top of the Marxism and statism 407 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:17,120 Speaker 1: and you know, radicalism. You know, the party that tolerated 408 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: no problem, you know, tolerating violence against Elon Musk, the 409 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,679 Speaker 1: party that remained silent in the summer of twenty twenty 410 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,439 Speaker 1: and the case of Kama didn't just remain silent, silent, 411 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: she stood in solidarity with the rioters. And the party 412 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: that you know is it's tolerating virual and anti Semitism. 413 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 1: And I just think as long as the American people 414 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: are fully aware of who they are and how bad 415 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 1: they've gotten, you know, I don't think I've done a 416 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: good enough job. I've got, We've got We've got to 417 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: spread the word because we have a midterm coming up 418 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,360 Speaker 1: in eighteen months. And you may think that's a long 419 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,119 Speaker 1: way away, it's going to be here in a blink 420 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,639 Speaker 1: of an eye and we'll be doing our election countdown 421 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 1: in six months and this is going to be probably 422 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,679 Speaker 1: the most important midterm in our life. Otherwise we're going 423 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: to spend the two the two years after the twenty 424 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: sixth election, you know, dealing with impeachment. Impeachment. Impeachment not 425 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 1: good anyway. My friend, appreciate the call. Uh Todd Louisiana. 426 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: Next on the Sean Hennity Show. 427 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 3: What's Up, Todd good effning sewn. I was just like 428 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 3: watching the whole debate thing in Schumer and and and 429 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 3: the fact that he just sits there and lies and 430 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,120 Speaker 3: lies and lies. If a Republican had done that, I mean, 431 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,920 Speaker 3: you would have helped him run a model out of Washington. 432 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 3: But Schumer sits there for telling the lies about Biden 433 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 3: for for four years basically, and then and then they 434 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 3: comes back and they gets caught in the bald face 435 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:47,719 Speaker 3: line and they ask him about it. He says, well, 436 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,120 Speaker 3: we're just ready to move on now. 437 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 1: They don't tell you the truth. I mean, that's that's 438 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,119 Speaker 1: the bottom line. And you know, if you want to 439 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: know why the Democratic Party, this is an amazing thing. 440 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: They're they're like scratching their heads and they have no 441 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 1: idea why they lost the last election. And I just 442 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,920 Speaker 1: ran through a series of reasons. Why did the party 443 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: of woke elites? We saw this on displaying the Senate. 444 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: They claimed to be the party of working men and women? 445 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 1: Then why did they vote for the largest tax hike 446 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: in American history? Why wouldn't they vote to cut taxes 447 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: on working men and women, no tax on tips, no 448 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: tax on overtime. Why wouldn't they vote for those things? 449 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,120 Speaker 1: Why did they leave the border wide open and lie 450 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 1: to us? Why do they support our champion the rights 451 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,679 Speaker 1: of men to play women's sports rather than protect women. 452 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 1: You know, why are they the party that's against energy 453 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:43,640 Speaker 1: dominance and but they're perfectly fine with us importing energy. 454 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: I mean, it's the lifeblood of the world's economy. Why 455 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 1: are they the party that that depleted our defense department 456 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: and put us in a hole that we have to 457 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 1: now dig ourselves out of a gap of vulnerability that 458 00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: like when Reagan was president. I mean, it's on every 459 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 1: one of these issues. They're radical and they're wrong, and 460 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 1: they just care about wokeness and getting pronouns and gender 461 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 1: affirming care and all these other issues. And then I'm 462 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: focused on the people, the vast, overwhelming ninety nine percent 463 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 1: of Americans that just want a better life for themselves 464 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: than their children. Yeah, no, no, what do you spectacular? 465 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 2: What? 466 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 3: And on the border, they they're coming out and they're saying, oh, 467 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 3: Trump is against border security because he didn't want to 468 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,959 Speaker 3: go he didn't he told everybody to vote against their 469 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 3: boondoggle of a bill, and then he's already proven it 470 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 3: that they were lying, that they were not even trying 471 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 3: to secure the border. They were just gaslighting the American 472 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 3: publican and I just I'm just thankful that we got 473 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 3: places to go to listen to somebody that actually makes sense. 474 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 3: I mean, every now and then you have to give 475 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 3: an econ one on one lesson to some of your listeners, 476 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 3: which I don't understand. 477 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,400 Speaker 1: But oh, I mean, for example, you know, we shouldn't 478 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 1: have billionaires. Think about that. Yeah, And now, if you 479 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:06,959 Speaker 1: really look at this, anybody that I don't know people 480 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 1: that inherited money in their life, I really don't. But 481 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 1: I have met millionaires and I have met billionaires in 482 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 1: my life, and in every case, they earned it the 483 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 1: old fashioned way. You know, they worked their ass off 484 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: number one. Number two, they were they were providing goods 485 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 1: and services that people wanted, needed and desired and that 486 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:34,159 Speaker 1: they freely paid for them. And I would argue the 487 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 1: world is better off because we now have computers and 488 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: phones at our disposal at all times. And you know, 489 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: I think we're better off that Elon Musk is doing 490 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 1: all of his work, don't. I don't care about his politics, 491 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 1: about the big beautiful bill, and you know the idea. 492 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 1: You know, I never got a job from a poor 493 00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: person when I worked in restaurants. Poor people can't afford 494 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:04,479 Speaker 1: to go to a restaurant. They just can't. And so 495 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 1: the people that are we're paying my salary at a 496 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 1: point when I needed that job to pay my rent, 497 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 1: I'm glad they came in. I'm glad they had the 498 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 1: money to buy and leave me a tip if I 499 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,159 Speaker 1: did a good job.
