1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: All right, news roundup and information oval at hour toll free. 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,640 Speaker 1: Our numbers eight hundred and nine four one sean if 3 00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program. 4 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:09,720 Speaker 2: Now. 5 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,880 Speaker 1: I went to d C yesterday and this is very rare. 6 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 1: This is an opportunity that does not come along very often. 7 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 1: But we had the Majority Leader, John Thune, and we 8 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:23,240 Speaker 1: had Senator Ted Cruz and Senator John Kennedy and Senator 9 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,639 Speaker 1: Tom Cotton and Senator Tim Scott and Senator Lindsay Graham 10 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:31,639 Speaker 1: and Senator Katie Britt and Mark Wayde Mullins was there, 11 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 1: and we had a Senate town hall. I don't know 12 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: if there's ever been one before, Linda, can you think 13 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: of one? 14 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 2: I can't. 15 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: And anyway, it's such an important time with the issue 16 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:47,200 Speaker 1: of reconciliation and making sure that the Trump tax cuts 17 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: don't expire. That would be a four trillion dollar tax 18 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: increase on the American people. And to make sure that 19 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 1: reconciliation gets pass is a very very critical time. I 20 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: urge everybody to get in touch with their senators, their 21 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 1: their congressmen as well. There are some members in the 22 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: House that seem reluctant and resistant. They need to they 23 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: need to change, because all this would do if they've 24 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 1: passed this in the Senate is open up the door 25 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 1: to negotiation and then they can get final passage, hopefully 26 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 1: down the road. So we got to get the ball 27 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: rolling because we're living under the Biden Harris economy. We 28 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,960 Speaker 1: talked about that. Interestingly, even though there was some critics 29 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,040 Speaker 1: of the president's strategy on tariffs, none of them were panicked, 30 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: none of them. And we talked all about that too. Anyway, 31 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: here's part of that discussion from last night. 32 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 3: We'll start tonight with Senate Majority Leader John Thune. Senator, 33 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 3: go to see it. You were able to get everyone 34 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 3: united to get the president's cabinet through, not a small task. 35 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,559 Speaker 3: You didn't shut the Senate down. You kept it open 36 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 3: for hour after hour after hour. Senator Kennedy wanted to 37 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 3: go home and have a beer, but. 38 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 4: Two, what's that? R? 39 00:01:58,440 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 5: Two? 40 00:01:58,720 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 4: More? 41 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 3: Two or three? So kudos to you for that. Senator 42 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 3: Lindsey Graham was on my show the other night said 43 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 3: something that's really profound in my view. In the last 44 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 3: hundred years, there's only been four times that Republicans have 45 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 3: had control of the White House, the House, and the Senate. 46 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 3: This is such a historic opportunity, and maybe it only 47 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 3: lasts two years. 48 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 6: Tell us what the next steps are. 49 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 7: Okay, Well, first off, thanks Sean, and thanks to this 50 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 7: team and our vebel Senate Republicans. We did get the 51 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 7: president's cabinet in place the fastest rate in twenty years. 52 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 7: We were in session for ten consecutive weeks for the 53 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 7: first time in fifteen years, and today we have cast 54 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 7: more votes than any Senate going back to the Reagan administration. 55 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 7: So people are showing up, they're doing the work, and 56 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 7: we have a lot more work ahead of us. But 57 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 7: if you look at what's at stake, the stakes are high. 58 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 7: As you pointed out, we don't get this opportunity very often, 59 00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 7: and when it comes along sometimes it doesn't last for 60 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 7: a long So we've got to make the most of 61 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 7: these two years where we got President Trump's leadership in 62 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 7: the White House, and boy, isn't that a welcome relief 63 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 7: from the past four years, working with Republican Senate and 64 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 7: Republican House to do the things the President campaigned on, 65 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 7: and that's to secure the border, make a generational investment 66 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 7: in doing that, make sure that we're investing in our 67 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 7: national security. So we're prepared for whatever threats exist around 68 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 7: the world, avoiding a four trillion dollar tax increase at 69 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 7: the end of this year, preventing that from happening, and 70 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 7: then restoring American energy dominance. Those are all priorities the 71 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 7: President campaigned on, and I would add deficit reduction. We 72 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 7: have got to cut spending and that's a priority for 73 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 7: this Senate. 74 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 6: I'd add too, the next generation and weaponry. We live 75 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 6: in a dangerous world, we do indeed, all right. 76 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 3: So Senator Graham is the head of the Budget Committee, 77 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 3: and Senator Graham also sat on that show that he 78 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 3: was on that as the head of the Budget Committee, 79 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 3: he can bypass the Senate parliamentarian look to explain reconciliation 80 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 3: to hard working Americans. They get up every day, work hard, 81 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 3: play by the rules. Gets a little bit complicated, but 82 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 3: the reality is in your body. In the Senate where 83 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 3: you're the majority leader, it gets complicated, and it's not 84 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 3: as complicated in the House. It's a procedure by which 85 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 3: you have very strict rules and regulations. Then you've got 86 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 3: to come together with the House. You guys got to 87 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 3: strike a deal. Explain it in maybe layman's term. So 88 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 3: people that are busy providing for their families every day, 89 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 3: can really understand why this is important. 90 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 7: Well, and you're right, it is the quintessential, if you will, 91 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 7: Washington inside baseball game, and even the language around it 92 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 7: is complicated. But the short of it is, we believe, 93 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 7: and in the Senate, at least when you have unified 94 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 7: control of the government House, Senate, White House, which as 95 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 7: you pointed out, we've had a half a dozen less 96 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 7: than that times in the last century, you can do 97 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 7: things at fifty one votes in the Senate that would 98 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 7: otherwise require sixty. But you got to have maximum cooperation. 99 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,119 Speaker 7: You got to have fifty one Senate Republicans to hang together, 100 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 7: you got to have two hundred men team. 101 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 6: Members of the House, and you've. 102 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 7: Got to have a president who's willingly sign a bill 103 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 7: into law. We have all those things in place, and 104 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 7: Lindsay has done a great job as the chairman of 105 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 7: the Budget Committee, and we believe the law is very 106 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 7: clear that he has the authority to set what that 107 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 7: baseline is. And there's a lot of conversation around which 108 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 7: baseline you use, but the simple fact of the matter 109 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 7: is we believe that extending the tax relief that was 110 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 7: passed in twenty seventeen under President Trump ought to be 111 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 7: able to be continued. 112 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 6: And that isn't something we ought to have to offset 113 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 6: or pay for. 114 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 4: It is. 115 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 6: These are policies that are in place. Tax rates should. 116 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 7: Stay the same on January first of next year as 117 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 7: they are on December thirty first, And as you pointed 118 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 7: out in your lead off to this, some of the 119 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 7: other things that the President's trying to achieve to provide 120 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 7: the American people with tax relief so they can keep 121 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 7: more of their hard earned dollars and spend them the 122 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 7: way they want to spend them, and send us instead 123 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 7: of sending it in to Washington, d C. 124 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 3: So, if you're not able, and you have a three 125 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 3: vote majority in the Senate and I think we're up 126 00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 3: there seven now in the House, and so you have 127 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 3: this our cane maneuver, which for example, was used to 128 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 3: pass Obamacare. I believe it was used to pass the 129 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 3: Inflation Reduction Act, right, Okay, so it's been used in 130 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 3: the past, and the Budget Committee chair pulls that off. 131 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 3: But you have a very small majority, so you got 132 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 3: to get got to work within the rules, You got 133 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 3: to get it passed in the Senate. And you've got 134 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 3: to get the House to go along with it. They've 135 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 3: got a small majority. I know everybody has whatever their 136 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,919 Speaker 3: priorities are. Is everybody fully on board? Do you have 137 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 3: a good feeling that you're going to get the fifty votes, 138 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 3: hopefully fifty one or two or all fifty three? Do 139 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 3: you believe that the House, having had the conversations with 140 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 3: Speaker Johnson, you'll get it done there too. 141 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,119 Speaker 6: Yeah, Well, shame on us if we don't. 142 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,479 Speaker 7: This is historic in terms of the opportunity, and I 143 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 7: think what's going to motivate all those people, both in 144 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 7: the House and the Senate Republicans? I can't think of 145 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 7: a Republican that would abide a four trillion dollar tax 146 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 7: increase on the American people. 147 00:06:58,920 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 6: Let's talk a. 148 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 3: Little bit about you, and then I'll ask the rest 149 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 3: of the group. I just want to know where do 150 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 3: you stand on the issue? And do you think that 151 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 3: the President's obviously seven trillion dollars in committed investments a lot, 152 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 3: obviously seventy plus countries wanted to negotiate, got the world's attention. 153 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 3: How do you think this plays out? 154 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 4: Well? 155 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 7: Look, I think the president, there's everybody, we all heard 156 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 7: it he won seventy seven million votes, and there wasn't 157 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 7: a day on the campaign trail where he didn't talk 158 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 7: about terrace. 159 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 6: It's something he believes in. 160 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 7: He deserves the opportunity to go get the deals he 161 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 7: can get and to get the reciprocity that we need 162 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 7: with some of these countries that have been taking advantage 163 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 7: of us. And so this is the you know, I 164 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 7: think most most of us up here believe that he 165 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 7: deserves that opportunity. And he and his administration are working 166 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 7: very aggressively, as you know, and have already announced to 167 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 7: you know, so many countries have come to the table 168 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 7: are looking for deals. So let's give this president some 169 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 7: space to see what he can get done. And obviously 170 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 7: we're all paying close attention to it, but we think 171 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 7: that he campaigned on it. He made it very clear 172 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 7: to the American people what he wanted to achieve in 173 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 7: doing it. 174 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 6: And I think when it. 175 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 7: Comes to creating better paying jobs in this country and 176 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 7: growing our economy, making America stronger, and getting investment in 177 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 7: this country, you're already seeing some of that. Some of 178 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 7: these supply chains are coming back home. Let's give this 179 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 7: president an opportunity to see what he can. 180 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 6: Get done all right. 181 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 3: Joining us now Senators Mark, Wayne Mullen, Katie Britt, John Kennedy, 182 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 3: Lindsey Graham, Tom Cotton, Tim Scott, and Senator Ted Cruz. Again, 183 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 3: thank you all for being Harry. But all of you 184 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 3: are friends of the show, and I thank you for that. 185 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 3: There are some people in your group in the Senate. 186 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 6: They're not so TV friendly. 187 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 3: Not available ever never, Lindsey, let me go to you 188 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 3: because the Budget Committee, as chair this reconciliation process, really 189 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 3: you're the one that triggered this, which I think is 190 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 3: very important. Otherwise you'd have to get the approval of 191 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 3: the Senate Parliamentary well. 192 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 8: So it's our belief that elected officials should make big 193 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 8: decisions unelected bureaucrats. I like Deparliamentarian, but it's not her 194 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,679 Speaker 8: decision to set the baseline as mine. When Democrats were 195 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 8: in charge, they set the baseline under the Budget Control 196 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 8: out of nineteen seventy four. 197 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 9: You can spend all the money you want. You don't 198 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 9: have to pay for it. But when you. 199 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 8: Cut taxes after a period of time, that considers to 200 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 8: be raising the deaf sit. We all know if you 201 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 8: cut taxes, you get more money into the government. 202 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 9: We all believe that. So by fifty three of us 203 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 9: got together and we change the way the Washington works. 204 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 8: From here on out, taxes will be treated as spending. 205 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 8: They will be considered not to expire. They don't add 206 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 8: to the debt, they add revenue to the government. 207 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 9: I made that decision. All these guys back expire. 208 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,079 Speaker 3: The Trump tax cuts are scheduled to expire in December. 209 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 8: What does it mean nineteen hundred dollars per family. If 210 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 8: you're in business, you're going to lose your deductions expensing. 211 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 8: Child tax credit goes down at ninety We're playing with 212 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 8: real bullets here. 213 00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 2: I just say this. 214 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 8: The debt selling, the debt extension is President Trump called it. 215 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 9: We got to pay the credit card bill. 216 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 8: It comes due if we don't put it in this field, 217 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 8: and we have to get ten Democrats in the Senate 218 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 8: to extend the debt sealing. The price they will want 219 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,319 Speaker 8: will be unbelievable. 220 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 9: They will extort everybody here. 221 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 8: They will extore President Trump to the people watching tonight. 222 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 8: We got a chance to make the task cuts permanent, 223 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 8: fully fund the border, help the military, get the debt 224 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 8: seling extended without one democratic vote. Only if reconciliation works 225 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,199 Speaker 8: four times in one hundred years. If we screw this up, 226 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 8: you should be really pissed. We can't afford to screw 227 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 8: this up. 228 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 3: Senator Cotton, you'll take and where do you think we 229 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 3: are on the process? 230 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 10: Well, I think we've taken an important first step last 231 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 10: week in the Senate by passing that budget and sending 232 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 10: to the House. You heard the President just a few 233 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,559 Speaker 10: moments ago talking about the need for unity. We obviously 234 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 10: have some differences of opinion here on this or that issue, 235 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 10: along with fifty or two other of my colleagues as well, 236 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 10: but on this we're all unified around the need to 237 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 10: not just extend the twenty seventeen tax cuts, but to 238 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 10: improve them with some of the ideas that the President 239 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 10: campaigned on that we all campaigned on. 240 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 6: No time tips. 241 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 3: Exactly, every time, social security, secure our border. 242 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 10: It's not just a security issue, it's also a quality 243 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 10: of life issue in your communities because the legal migrants 244 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,199 Speaker 10: put strain on schools and hospitals and other public services. 245 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 10: Making sure that we're safe abroad as well by funding 246 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 10: our military and getting the price of energy down, whether 247 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,319 Speaker 10: it's what you pay for gas at the pump or 248 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 10: your electricity. That's the goals that unite all of us. 249 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 10: That's what we came together around last week with Lindsay 250 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 10: and John Thune's leadership. And I think that's what Mike 251 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,679 Speaker 10: Johnson is going to have in the House later this week. 252 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 5: Senator Scott to Be. This is the beginning of the 253 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 5: blue collar comeback. Imagine seven trillion is. 254 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 6: A great line. I wish I'd thought of that. 255 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:49,679 Speaker 2: We could share it. We could share it. 256 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 5: I mean, think about it. Though so many Americans feel 257 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 5: invisible in the Biden economy, this is the Trump economy. 258 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 5: Think about seven trillion dollars descending upon the greatest nation 259 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 5: on God's green Earth, creating high paying, high manufacturing jobs. 260 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 5: That means one hundred plus thousand dollars a year coming 261 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 5: into communities across this country. The first time we did 262 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 5: it to TCJA, we saw more revenue to the Treasury 263 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 5: and we sat four thousand dollars per family in their pockets. 264 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 5: It's the American people's dollars. Let them keep it. This 265 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 5: blue collar come back, it's real because President Trump is 266 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 5: a man we need with a steel spine to get 267 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 5: the job done. 268 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:40,199 Speaker 11: Seventy countries It's a good day in America Center Coruse. Look, 269 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 11: failure is not an option. You look at the election 270 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 11: in November. It is as clear a mandate as we've 271 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 11: ever seen from the American people. And I'll tell you 272 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 11: one of the things that I am impressed with in 273 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,439 Speaker 11: both the Senate and House is I think Republicans understand 274 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 11: we have a job to do. 275 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 2: We can't screw this up. Now. What is that job? 276 00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:58,559 Speaker 2: Number One? 277 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 11: The mandates secure the border. That is the single clearest 278 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 11: mandate out of this election. Twelve million people invaded this 279 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 11: country and the American people said enough is enough. And 280 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 11: I got to say, by the way, my favorite line 281 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 11: from the President's State of the Union address is when 282 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 11: he pointed out he said, you know, Joe Biden stood 283 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 11: up here a year ago and said he couldn't secure 284 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 11: the border without new legislation. Well, it turns out we 285 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 11: didn't need new legislation. We just needed a new president. 286 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 11: We've seen illegal border crossings drop ninety eight percent. 287 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 2: That's delivering on results. 288 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 11: But now it's our job to come and provide the 289 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 11: funding to build the wall, to put in technology, to 290 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 11: put in border patrol, to put in ice, to make 291 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 11: sure that we keep our family safe and secure. When 292 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 11: it comes to energy, the American people are fed up 293 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 11: with high energy costs. We want America to lead the 294 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 11: world in energy. When it comes to rebuilding the military, 295 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 11: you're right, it is a dangerous, dangerous world. And when 296 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 11: it comes to the tax cuts, we're going to extend 297 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 11: the tax cuts. 298 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 2: It's going to be bumpy. It's always bumpy, and it's. 299 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 11: Particularly with the House, which has an ex scruciatingly small majority. 300 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 11: But we will get the job done because the alternative 301 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 11: if we do nothing, is an automatic four trillion dollar 302 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 11: tax increase. 303 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 2: We're not going to let that happen. 304 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,559 Speaker 11: Because if we do, we'll be failing in our jobs. 305 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 2: That is not acceptable. We'll get the job. 306 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 3: Done, and the President won't let that House doesn't get 307 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 3: it done. They're gonna want They're going to be hurting 308 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 3: themselves again, because as soon as we get away from 309 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 3: the Biden Harris economy, the odds go up exponentially. 310 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 9: They have a better chance to get it reelected us. 311 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 6: They're up in two. 312 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 2: Years well, and there are lots of trade offs in it. 313 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 11: Look, most of us have been part of the process 314 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 11: of tactic a break. 315 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 6: All right, Well more with our panel. 316 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 3: We'll get to Senator Kennedy, Mark Wayman.

We had a great 336 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: group of senators. We continue our discussion talking about reconciliation. 337 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: This is a critical critical time for the Senate and 338 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: the House it's only the fourth time in one hundred 339 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 1: years that Republicans have had control of the White House, 340 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: the House, and the Senate. They've got to get this 341 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: reconciliation bill done. I'm playing it because it's complicated. John Thune, 342 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: Senator Katie Britt, Mark Wayde Mullen, Lindsey Graham, Senator Cotton, 343 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: Senator Tim Scott, Senator Ted Cruz. They did something that 344 00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: senators really do. They sat down together with me for 345 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: the hour last night. Let's go back to part of 346 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: that interview. 347 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 3: All right, welcome back to Hannity. We live from Capitol 348 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 3: Hill where we continue our town hall with Senate Republicans. 349 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 9: By the way, a rare event. 350 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 3: I want to thank all of you for doing this, 351 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 3: A lot of senators won't. 352 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 6: I appreciate your time. 353 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 3: A lot of issues facing the country, and I really 354 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 3: do believe that Americans are putting a lot of faith, hope, 355 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 3: and trust in all of you that you can get 356 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 3: President Trump's agenda that they voted for in the mandate 357 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 3: that Senator Cruz was talking about across the finish line, 358 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 3: acrossing the plane. Senator Kennedy, you made my audience laugh 359 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 3: more than anybody as you examine this issue of reconciliation 360 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 3: and the economy and thirty seven trillion in debt and 361 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 3: then doze finding what nearly one hundred and fifty trillion 362 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 3: I think at this point dollars in waste, fraud, and abuse. 363 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 4: How will all of you, with. 364 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 3: The majority get this under control? 365 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 12: Well, look, reconciliation is not quantum physics, it's about lower prices. 366 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 12: To lower prices, John, You've got to do three things. 367 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 12: You've got to reduce government spending so you have less stimulus. 368 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,439 Speaker 12: You've got to deregulate the economy so the price of 369 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 12: goods and services go down, and you have to design 370 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 12: your tax code that it looks like somebody designed it 371 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 12: on purpose to stimulate growth. Now, reconciliation allows us in 372 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 12: the Senate to do all three of those things with 373 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 12: fifty one votes. And that's really all it is. I 374 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,120 Speaker 12: want to say a word though, about tariffs, because that's 375 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:51,640 Speaker 12: sort of the fourth leg of the stool. I think 376 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 12: most fair minded people would agree with this. Other countries 377 00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:01,160 Speaker 12: have used trade barriers to take advance of the American 378 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 12: people and American businesses. Number two, President Trump has said enough, 379 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 12: we would not be in this situation today. 380 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:14,400 Speaker 4: Had he not been a pit bull. 381 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 12: By that, I mean there are one hundred and ninety 382 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,639 Speaker 12: five countries in the world. Seventy are begging him to 383 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 12: make a deal to more cares. He's like the pitbull, though, 384 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 12: who caught the car. Here's what I don't know what 385 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:31,719 Speaker 12: the President's going to do next. 386 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 4: Here's what I hope he does next. I hope he 387 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,679 Speaker 4: takes a deal. I hope he. I hope he goes 388 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 4: to He and. 389 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,879 Speaker 12: Scott Bessett go to every one of those countries and 390 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 12: reduce those tariffs and trade barriers down to zero and 391 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 12: let American businesses compete with those foreign business Competition makes 392 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 12: us better. 393 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:53,120 Speaker 8: Does everyone agree with that? 394 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 12: Yes? 395 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 4: Yes, definitely. 396 00:18:54,800 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 3: Now seventy countries and the EU is now seemingly. 397 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 6: Moving in his direction. 398 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 3: I can just tell you, talking to you know, twenty 399 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 3: five million people on seven hundred and fifty radio stations 400 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 3: every day, when Americans here that our friends and allies 401 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 3: in Europe. I'll give a quick example and I'll stay 402 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 3: with you on this. Okay, Germany they have a ten 403 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 3: percent tariff. We have a two and a half percent tariff. 404 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 3: But they also have a VAT tax with a value 405 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,880 Speaker 3: added tacks. That's a national sales tax, So that raises 406 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 3: the sticker price of an American car to be sold 407 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 3: in Germany by thirty percent. They sell eight to ten 408 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 3: cars German cars in America to our one car sold 409 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 3: in Germany. 410 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:39,679 Speaker 2: Why are they hurting us? 411 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 3: They look to us for defense, They want us. They'll 412 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 3: be screaming us come to the rescue at a moment's notice. 413 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 3: We pay a bulk of the freight when it comes 414 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,679 Speaker 3: to NATO. Why would they treat a friendly nation like that? 415 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 3: Why would other European nations be doing that to us? 416 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 4: Well, I think that's what the President has talked about. 417 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 4: But you agree would be ripped off? 418 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 12: Yes, yes, Look, China is probably the worst example, but 419 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 12: not the only one. God created the world. That everything 420 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,439 Speaker 12: else is made in China. I mean we know that. 421 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,679 Speaker 12: That's just reflects reality today. 422 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 2: But they're not that gumbo gumbo made in China. 423 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 4: But they're they're not the only one. 424 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 12: But because President Trump has done what he's done, and 425 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 12: I'm not saying it hasn't been tough with the market 426 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 12: if it has been, but we would not be in 427 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 12: the situation able to negotiate lower terraces and trade barriers. 428 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 12: If President Trump hadn't done what he has done, I 429 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,679 Speaker 12: just wanted to see him turn Scott Bess and loose 430 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 12: he and Scott take them one at a time. Unless 431 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 12: oder these tarffs and let American businesses compete with the world, 432 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 12: and may the best product and the best price win 433 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 12: and will all be better off. 434 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 3: I would like to keep it less complicated, because sometimes 435 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,360 Speaker 3: there's a few other issues that have been conflated with it. 436 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 3: But if it really comes down by my center, Mark 437 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 3: wa mom, good to see you. 438 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 2: If it comes. 439 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 3: Down to a simple choice, most Americans agree that we're 440 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,880 Speaker 3: being ripped off. Most Americans don't like being ripped off, 441 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,479 Speaker 3: especially ripped off by our friends. 442 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 2: But the President has. 443 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 3: Said that if you want free and fair trade, we'll 444 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 3: go along with that. If you want tariffs, okay, you 445 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 3: tariff us, We'll put reciprocal tariffs on you. If we 446 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 3: keep it and reduce it to that simple formula. 447 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 2: I believe that's a winning issue. 448 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 9: My wrong, it is. 449 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 13: But we also have access to the economies. You use 450 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 13: Japan or Japan Germany as an example. Right, they can 451 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,120 Speaker 13: lower it to zero terriffs, but they still charge twenty 452 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 13: percent tax. 453 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 2: Well, that's got a thirty percent tax. That's a tax. 454 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,159 Speaker 13: It is a tax, but you have to you have 455 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,679 Speaker 13: to take that in consideration. Japan does the same thing, right, 456 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,919 Speaker 13: Japan charges zero terriffs on a US manufactured vehicle to 457 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 13: go in, but you can't sell a vehicle in Japan. 458 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 3: But Japan puts two two hundred percent on rice imported 459 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 3: from our country into their country. Absolutely, no one's selling 460 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 3: any American rice there and ninety four percent of their 461 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,640 Speaker 3: cars have made in their country. 462 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 13: Which goes to the fact that President Trump has the 463 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 13: backbone at this point to say, hey, it's time to 464 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 13: write to ship. There has been no president that's been 465 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 13: willing to address this, and we've known this has been 466 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 13: an issue sewn for decades and it's only got worse. 467 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 13: What President Trump did is he's finally stepped up and 468 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 13: said something that he started talking about back in nineteen 469 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 13: eighty eight on Oprah Show, saying that they are taking 470 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 13: advantage of us. We have to stop the bleeding. If 471 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 13: we didn't do it, then what generation. 472 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 4: Was going to happen? 473 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 2: Because this isn't about just today. 474 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:42,680 Speaker 13: What President Trump is doing is he's looking at the 475 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 13: economy ten fifteen twenty years down the road, because that's 476 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 13: what a business guide, not a politician. 477 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:49,680 Speaker 4: That's what a business guy does. 478 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 13: A politician looks at what's happens to the next election. 479 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 13: President Trump is looking generational down the road, which is 480 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,880 Speaker 13: what we should be doing. But at the same time, 481 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 13: let's talk about some of the lies that the Dimmocrats 482 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 13: are showing. Right the Democrats are saying that we're going 483 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 13: to cut Social Security benefits. Do you know we can't 484 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 13: do that through reconciliation, But they don't say that. 485 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 2: They also say. 486 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 13: We're going to raise taxes on billionaires, or not raise taxes. 487 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 2: But taxes billiaus alert. I mean Democrats lie. Yeah, yeah, 488 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 2: I get that. 489 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 3: I mean when they call it, when they call all 490 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 3: of you Nazis and fascists and Hitler and Mussolini. 491 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 13: But the American people starting to believe it because they 492 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 13: say it so much when we can't you cannot cut 493 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 13: social security in reconciliation. At the same time, they're saying 494 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 13: we're going to cut taxes for billionaires and millionaires in 495 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 13: present Trump's friends, when all we're doing is extending the 496 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 13: current tax code, the current tax policy that we have 497 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,639 Speaker 13: right now, We're simply extending it. 498 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 4: And so the Democrats they can't. 499 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 13: Run on any of their policies, but they're running on lies. 500 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 3: Actually, you can add to that, no tax on tips, 501 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 3: no tax on social security, no tax on overtime. Guess 502 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 3: what I used to work in the service industry. 503 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:55,959 Speaker 4: I would have liked all that. 504 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,160 Speaker 13: Yes, it absolutely and it cuts taxes on the ones 505 00:23:59,200 --> 00:23:59,919 Speaker 13: that needed. 506 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 6: The absolute most. 507 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,120 Speaker 13: But you know, as I've said before, Sean, the Democrats 508 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 13: have nothing to run on policy wise, so they're just 509 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 13: running on fear and lies. 510 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 3: So I saw you shaking your head Center of Scott, 511 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,919 Speaker 3: and I'm getting I think I'm reading the room and 512 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 3: I'm getting consensus that now that we know these countries 513 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 3: have taken note of what the President has laid out, 514 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 3: you want these deals to be done expeditiously. 515 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 6: One hundred percent sooner than later. 516 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 5: Like I said, the seven twention dollars that's on the table, 517 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 5: that'll be a fantastic blue collar comback. But more importantly, 518 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 5: it resets America as the economically dominant nation on the 519 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 5: planet for generation. I think we need more than two 520 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 5: years in the majority. However, we need four years in 521 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 5: the majority to make sure we seem in a generation 522 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,400 Speaker 5: of change. You don't do that in two. 523 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 4: Years, You do that over four years. 524 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 5: I think President Trump has a once in a lifetime 525 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:57,719 Speaker 5: opportunity to reset, recalibrate the entire global economy by bringing 526 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 5: it all home to America. Put a America first, by 527 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 5: putting our paychecks first, by securing this nation first, and 528 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 5: the rest of the world's, including our allies, will take 529 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 5: advantage of us if. 530 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:12,880 Speaker 2: We let them. 531 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 3: We let them do exactly fifty or sixty yees World 532 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:21,159 Speaker 3: War two. To you, it seems that the magic sauce 533 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 3: here would be speed. Now that they're willing to deal, 534 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 3: get the deal done. 535 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 2: Well, and take the deal. Where to fork in the road? 536 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 2: What deal? 537 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 11: Take the deal, make deals and actually work to lower teriffs. 538 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 2: Look, we're to. 539 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,679 Speaker 11: Fork in the road, and it's a real or reciprocal 540 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:41,159 Speaker 11: lower tariffs on both sides. Reciprocal, I'm saying reciprocal. But 541 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 11: here's the fork in the road. What do you do 542 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 11: once you announce these tariffs last week? One option, and 543 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 11: the option that I hope and pray the President takes, 544 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 11: is you've got countries beating a path to the White 545 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 11: House saying uncle, let us up, will slash our tariffs. 546 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 11: We'll slash our barriers to trade in change for you 547 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 11: doing it. 548 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 2: If the outcome of these tariffs announced. 549 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 11: Last week is in thirty days, sixty days, ninety days, 550 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 11: we see tariffs slashed worldwide, We see the barriers to 551 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 11: US farmers and ranchers and manufacturers dropping enormously, and suddenly 552 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 11: we're able to access other markets and these tariffs drop here, 553 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 11: that's a great outcome. President Trump has the opportunity for 554 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 11: the most extraordinary economic win for the American people right 555 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:30,120 Speaker 11: now by making a deal, by saying, let's cut a deal. 556 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 11: But on the other hand, and I do want to 557 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 11: give it a word of warning, there are voices in 558 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:36,640 Speaker 11: the administration that. 559 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,679 Speaker 2: Rather than take a deal, are saying. 560 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,680 Speaker 11: We want to have tariffs as a long term, permanent 561 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 11: feature of the economy. 562 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 2: I think that'd be a mistake. 563 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 11: If a year from now our trading partners have all 564 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,120 Speaker 11: jacked up tariffs on America and we have high tariffs 565 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 11: on everyone. 566 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 2: I think that'll hurt this country. 567 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 11: And so what I'm merging the president is this opportunity 568 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,439 Speaker 11: to take the deal, lower tariffs all around. Actually, what 569 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:04,160 Speaker 11: President Trump proposed in Europe in his first term. You guys, 570 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 11: slash your tariffs, will slash ours, and we'll have free 571 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,120 Speaker 11: and fair trade for everyone. 572 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 2: That would be. 573 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:14,120 Speaker 3: Historic if we got them to the point where it 574 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 3: was free and fair or reciprocal. At that point, when't 575 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,359 Speaker 3: America be taken in billions? And one other thing that 576 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 3: nobody seems to talk about. I like the idea that 577 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 3: our semiconductors will now be made in this country for 578 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 3: national security reasons. I like the idea that more auto 579 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 3: manufacturing centers will be built in this country. I like 580 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,880 Speaker 3: that our pharmaceuticals too many of our pharmaceuticals are made abroad. 581 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 3: God forbid COVID two point zero comes along. I got 582 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 3: thirty seconds. I got to give it to Senator Kennedy. 583 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 3: What do you think of the new leadership? Jasmine, AOC 584 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 3: and Bernie. 585 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 12: I consider a Congresswoman Okashia Courtege to be the leader 586 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 12: of the Democratic Party. 587 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 4: She's entitled to her opinion. I'm entitled to mine. 588 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 12: As I've said about them before, I think she's the 589 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 12: reason there.
