she's like you guys better be on time she's got her call back for the audition in the Irish again Eva so how did it go first of all now in in the theater world when you end up getting a call back is that a a good or a bad thing and then where's your head right now well a call back can mean one of two things it can either mean you've done a really good job then why you SLE like Conor McGregor right now isn't he Irish he is but he is he a little more intense you got a little something going I don't know what it is okay there we go that's better that's better there we go can either mean that you've done a really good job but they've got to rule you out as an absolute no okay or if you're if you're raiding for one roll it whoa get out way get out way if you're raiding for just one roll and you and she like somebody else you won't get cast Okay so if I'm only up for one rle and she doesn't like me I will not get put in the shore gota is what the coack has a little choppy right now I'm concern how about you leave me alone I'm stressed out there we go I'm doing the best I can based on the situation I have to be somewhere in an hour all right all right we'll get this going then yeah she was like ladies and gentlemen you two better not mess up today cuz I got to go CU I got to go yeah we're not cutting anything from this show so if we say it you're going to see when you're terrible it's not getting edit it out guy okay all right when I don't what I'm talking about we don't do a whole lot of editing on this show I know I don't think people realize that but um okay so a couple let's just start with a couple of quick uh um mentions that we got online uh Patrick Potter said another great pod run KY family I'm just patiently waiting for the debates with open or or muted mics that should be interesting see yall in a couple of days Ava love the accent thank you all right thank you Patrick thank you Patrick I can see you're also a man of Irish descent yes he could be okay Craig says there is what feels like two to three M stretch down Central of homelessness and poverty is truly sad and disheartening it feels like Alber ker is becoming a third world country where the is a Grisham on this problem and the mayor and the mayor you know I hope one thing that that can be helpful is the Supreme Court decision that allows municipalities to find a place for the people that are on the streets saying look you just can't live on the street right and there is some legal pathway now to be able to say that and then we have to follow that up by providing services but I think that can be done if you have leadership that has the will to clean up your city we haven't seen that yet but I think we all hope it's there and yeah and we definitely have more on the homelessness situation as we in future episodes because it's continuing to plague our area we are swallowed up by politics probably until the election and then and then we're going to we do have other topics to actually talk about well yeah yes and actually read that third one because I I want to talk a little bit about this right okay so Robert Robert says consider doing a segment on the state of New Mexico Sanctuary status a big reason for Crime not to mention the pressures it puts on our schools and hospitals I responded back really quickly I'll let you respond but I just put a real a quick comment just a reminder that we did have Dan Lewis on I think it was episode 98 I think something like that um where he did start to talk about the the city council when they were going to try to vote on whether or not we keep this as a sanctuary City so what were we going to say sorry well we are we are actually in the middle of doing uh those stories we haven't had them out yet it'll be about 3 weeks from now I think we're going to have it but there is stuff going on underneath the surface here that none of you are being told that it's a major issue here as far as the type of crime that's being done and then who's doing it and no one's talking about it so we will absolutely have something in that I promise you Jay's been working on it with us and we're going to have it yep it'll be coming up in a few weeks okay so kind of a um this story really I thought was interesting and terrifying all in the same moment um there was a woman from Ria Rancho she was her name was Katrina Mitchell k o did this story yeah KB did a nice story on this they did a really good job on this and it caught my attention yesterday and she her name was Kina Mitchell she was beat up by three people in a road road rage incident and here's the video of it you could see these people were in a Mustang she was in her car with her daughter and mother and mother right and she was trying to go around them cuz they kept swerving in front of her and stuff she tried to go around them they punched her car is what she says right there she gets out of the car she stops the car cuz she was Furious one was a juvenile and then I think it was two adults two other women they beat her up okay so she gets beat to a pulp calls the cops uh they do end up arresting them I believe or they detain them or whatever because it it ends up going um in front of a some sort of judge or arbitrator of some sort because basically what's frightening about this is her attor yeah sorry the reason this stopped for a second hold on one sec Gabe just freeze that video the reason the attack stopped is because a guy with a concealed carry permit pulled out his gun and said stop this otherwise who knows how long it would have continued right it was just an act of absolute brutality on the streets of you know r bcho and it would just should never have happened and then when she's pressing charges the scary thing about this was that her three attackers got pled down from felonies to misdemeanor right and then the craziest thing that even happened after that her husband explains a little bit and I would love for him to tell this part of it downgraded from felonies to misdemeanors uh nothing more than really probation they also wanted us to have a Reconciliation where we sit at a table and talk about our differences and hey apologize to each other and hey you know sorry about that neighbor sorry about that neighbor and no that that was an option that wasn't in my eyes what was done was unforgivable that's where the US Air Force stepped in the level at which the justice system here has spectacularly failed is the reasons why you know the Air Force decided it was in their best interest to move us Mitchell says the air force is reloc his family yeah they're going to be relocated frightening when you have somebody beat up your wife three people beat up your wife and then you're asked to sit at a Roundtable discussion and have a hey I'm sorry my bad kind of meeting I mean you've missed the whole point it was a felony offense they beat her to a pulp and then they're asked like hey be a good neighbor and sit down with these people and basically no real punishment was served and so the Air Force has to step in and say we're going to move you you're obviously not in a real safe environment we're going to take this into our hands and we're going to transfer you I just thought how unbelievable that story was from start to finish it's embarrassing it's embarrassing that we have such a great community and yet you have people and they said this in the story that KOB did they said this is a great place but it's not safe and until we get a feel for what people like that go through until our leaders understand that they have to step up and help for too long we have legislators who say nah not a big deal not a big deal and what's up with this neighborly thing how is it neighborly to to sit down with somebody who's done this the fact of the matter is that in this state right now we Face a a choice that puts us right on the edge of whether we become a state that's just getting better and better or one that that is not and and what scares the heck out of me is I'm not sure there's the will to do what needs to be done because the people that make the decisions don't understand what people like the Mitchells go through right and it's just the lack of accountability I mean I'm sorry but even you know you even as a parent you have more accountability over your children when they misbehave and they they need a level of discipline this just feels like oh let's just slap on the wrist for these guys and could you sit down and tell each other that you forgive each other and you know as a Christian I believe in forgiveness and I'm sure these people do too ridiculous overreach of asking this couple she says she has PTSD for military experiences and this freak this also happened in front of her kid and her mother I mean I'm sorry but like have we lost our mind like not everything can just be you know brushed aside and a few words makes it all better and that's just what they're asking this woman to do yeah I I support her I would feel very unsafe if I was her and unprotect I mean I unsupported but everybody now especially those who would do these sorts of things who would engage in crime they now know they won't pay the price oh and so stories like this are are a great example of people feeling feeling untethered by the rule of law because we've had years of this now and so the criminals know it the citizens know it the citizens are scared and the criminals are emboldened it's as simple as that yeah it's just it's we're on a really bad pattern and it continues and it continues and nothing's going to stop it until we get real serious uh from leadership about taking care of crime and you know we've said this since day one New Mexico is a great place to live it's beautiful it's got some of the Mo it's got some of the best things of this whole country it's got the best weather by the way anywhere in the country and so many great things about this state and the leadership that doesn't hold our criminals accountable it's Wrecking it it's Wrecking our state and it's just too bad so no no doubt no question and great kudos to channel 4 for telling the story right and and you know and they showed the bloody pictures because that's part of the story right and and they deserve credit for for what they've done um okay let's talk a little bit about uh some of the things going on we finally have an interview I thought about pushing Today's Show back until to late tomorrow night because I wanted to watch late Thursday night because I wanted to watch KLA Harris's interview with CNN do you well I do want to watch I'm very interested course you do is it gonna say anything well I don't that's a good question now here's the one thing though that that what we know now is she's gonna have Coach walls there okay Coach coach will be there with her so he the interview so he'll be the cheerleader yeah and she'll be the what we can do what we can be what we will be and what what what was hey we'll see how she handles it or they could talk about what spices they use in cooking like they did in the last video I think you're D here's the one thing oh you think I'm doubting think here's the one thing interview no no no here's the one thing I think you're underestimating which could happen oh okay which is tell Dana Bash who's doing the interview she could stand up and decide you know what I'm going to do a real tough interview here I'm going to ask her please tell me why you appear to be against fracking and now you're for fracking please tell me why you appear to be against the border wall and now you're for the border wall learn please tell me what okay so you're saying she's going to do a complete reversal I I'm saying she's going to that's very hard to do by the way I think she's going to just talk in word salads I think it's going to be Lear we all get that but but tell me tell me what she's going to say to that if you're her if you're her okay I'll be danab bash MH okay mhm Madam vice president you said for years that you supported an end to fracking if we end fracking in the United States of America and in New Mexico we will literally crash the economy not only of the United States but likely the world economy with a a dir of energy that will be something will be paying for for decades so which is it now do you support an end of fracking which you've said multiple times which would be devastating or do you now support full fracking and allowing us to take advantage of all of our energy in the United States well first of all I didn't say that I ever was going to support fracking or be against fracking I'm not you actually did say you you were going to end okay let's you know what you know what you know what M Madam vice president I think that's a fair thing let me just go to the video where okay you're giving this reporter way too much credit if she says I let me show you the video of you saying this I will applaud her no I I think she absolutely could say before this first question let me show you this and she says I'm going to ban fracking what we've learned a lot since those days and we've learned from history and we want to take our best things from history and we want to put it Forward because this is about moving forward so you do support are you okay then with fracking I don't she's not going to say anything are you kidding me do you really think she's going to go on record saying she's in favor of fracking well I I do think she's going to have to at least at some point someone's got to push her to answer the question and you think it's going to be Dana I think on CNN Dana she might okay she might she might I think go ahead we'll take a little private bet off camera and we'll see who wins this one I think this is going to be more poping circumstance more laughing more joy more not answering the questions they can't ask Tim about her policies because the guy has no idea where she stands on policies it's coach Wall To You by the way oh my my bad my bad uh he'll just be like hey yeah do the jazz hands that he always does okay well so all right so and don't don't kill the joy Mark don't kill the Vibe by asking the hard questions okay okay well again I mean honestly we don't have time for that we're all feeling good let's just say feeling good but you admit that she will at least ask a question like you have had a significant role in this Administration whether you call her the borders are or not you've had a significant role in this Administration hold on I've been to the Border no no you haven't I've been to the Border no you haven't well I haven't been to Europe either okay that's right so no my point is on this though no hold on so so my point is on this you've had a significant role on the border it whether it be called the borders are or not and border crossings have skyrocketed and this is out of control it it's an issue that even you have admitted so why now are you switching positions to now it appears support a border wall when you literally spent your whole political career ripping Donald Trump for a border wall she is going you know what she's going to do with that she's going to my guess is she's going to spin that back around and say hey we had legislation in front of Congress this year and Trump said to not sign it and we we really have been trying to shut that down there you go see that's a good answer that's what she's going to say right and now you can't that's a that's that's not a fair answer but it's a good answer for what she going to say this is all Trump's fault she's going to somehow position this back to it being Trump's fault Republicans fault for shutting down this you know pilled Bill thing that they triy to you know put up in the last hour so okay all right any but of course we be it yeah no we'll check it out we'll have more yeah it'll she'll be riveting everybody we're going to get a real insight okay all right no the fact that she's got to have Tim training wheels with her you know sitting there with her well Timmy training wheels will get her out of trouble whatever happens right that is crazy cuz we're going to end up at you know 38 days or whatever it is she hasn't spoken a word and then she brings out Timmy training wheels and he stands there next to her and tries to bail her out like she can't handle it herself I don't think it's a good look I really don't I think if you're talking about the whole thing and you're saying you finally got to speak to people and she says okay I I'll go out there and I'll give an interview but somebody call up training wheels and get them in here because because there's no way I'm doing this alone can she not handle it alone I I find that to be something that doesn't help the image of her trying to at least present herself off a teleprompter as up for the job now we all know anyone can stand up and read a teleprompter at the Democratic National Convention I'm sorry that's not hard to do but I will say this about her that when she sits down for an interview I I think what happens to her is she gets some performance anxiety and I think her the total number of words she can draw from comes down it happens all the time to people it's not an unusual thing and I think she has that issue and I think they bring training wheels in there and they hope hey if TDW is there she's got a chance to get through this thing because when she starts to have some issues tdb comes in and tries to bail her out well that's what I was going to wonder is how much he interrupts her like how or how much does he kind of jump in on answering the question that be a realing by would make her that does not help her either it'll you know so I don't this is interesting I try to answer all your questions for you and you don't like it very much no no I don't no I'm just arrogant enough to think I can answer him and then I go butcher him and then you're like you shouldn't have done that you should have trusted question is going to be Mark is is this to bacon it actually happen I mean I'm hearing all this back and forth oh I think it will you do so your money still that it's going to happen NE absolutely simply because of this no candidate has enough of a lead right now to be able to say I'm not debating you right her lead at best is probably two points maybe three nationally and if she wins by two or three points nationally we still don't know who wins The Electoral College okay I'm just so she's got to win by two or three points to even have a chance to win the electoral college nobody talks about that but it's true so nobody has enough of a lead to be able to say I'm not debating you it's not happening the debate's absolutely going to happen you're going to see two of them and I think they'll likely have an interesting impact I don't know that they're going to be dispositive in changing the race but but I do think it's going to be an interesting impact and I will say I'll tell you if you're expecting her to just blow it in the debate she's not going to she's going to have talking points and and she's not going to blow it well she wants to have her notes and she wants to sit down well I I'll tell you she's not going to get notes I don't know anybody on the history of the planet who's been able to go into a major office debate and have notes it's ludicrous I mean if you can't handle a debate one-on-one against your opponent that's embarrassing and and to sit there and be like let me sit down let me have some notes you know let me give me a quick back rub you know what is this I mean Ser I love that I want to sit down I was like oh that sounds Vaguely Familiar yes we did have that issue with Michelle she wanted to sound but her hers was actually legitimate she had a bad knee it though oh absolutely she did have a bad knee I'll give her that now I had a bad back so I had to stand so whatever stand you have to do what you got to do but the point is you negotiated out I stood m Michelle sat whatever that's no big deal but Michelle wasn't like hey give me some notes I mean give me a break I mean that's ridiculous okay so uh some news coming out that I think is interesting especially for everybody out there on during the 2020 election especially was thinking you know all of these stories are coming out are getting pushed down by you know they're throttled out by social media including the hunter Biden um you know uh laptop all those in those stories were getting pushed down getting throttled there's all these theories that basically um is Facebook or any of those companies are they throttling information when it comes to co right are they saying you have to say a certain thing to be allowed to stay on Facebook right and no no no we never did that we never did that we never did that well Mark ber basically just blew the whistle on Biden's contempt uh for free speech is what this headline says out of Newsweek it basically he wrote a letter and said Congress to Congress and basically admitted that they thrott they throttled they they throttled them they felt the pressure from the Biden Harris Administration and they caved and uh according to Zuckerberg he regrets it now says that they shouldn't have done that it's interesting it's interesting that he's come forward and said I I screwed up I screwed up right now who knows the reasoning for all of this I'm not going to get into Zuckerberg's head or anything like that I can't possibly do that but I will say this that Alejandra mayorcas went in front of Congress in 2022 and he was asked by the best questioner in the United States Senate Josh Holly did you do this did you Throttle Down certain opinions about covid and did you put pressure on social media companies to do it he laid it out very clearly and if only there was video of this EX change of those two of them and if there was it'd be interesting to contrast this to what's happened over the past couple of days oh wait there is let's take a look exle after example of this Administration coordinated apparently according to a federal court by your agency pressuring coercing social media companies to engage in censorship is that constitutional that is unequivocally false is what the emails show it is unequivocally false Senator you are not pressuring the big tech companies to take down accounts you are not meeting with them to ask them to censor on your behalf that is correct we are not here's my point Mr secretary it has been established for years in this country as you very well know because you're a lawyer that the federal government may not use private third parties to engage in activities that are unconstitutional that's exactly what you and this Administration are doing you are leveraging private companies to carry out censorship on your behalf it's dystopian but worse than that it's unconstitutional it's also false turn now to a story breaking overnight Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg claims he was pressured by the White House to censor content related to covid-19 during the pandemic Aaron kki joins us now with details Aon good morning good morning to you Whit for years critics have taken aim at Facebook for silencing views that challenge the general consensus in the medical community especially about the origin of covid-19 now Facebook's founder surprisingly says they're right this morning met a chief Mark Zuckerberg admitting he bowed to pressure from the bid Administration to censor content the Facebook founder issuing a letter to the house Judiciary Committee that said senior Administration officials pushed the social media platform to censor posts about covid-19 and expressed a lot of frustration when the company resisted Zuckerberg saying I believe the government pressure was wrong and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it adding okay so Alejandra mayorca surprise surprise is a liar now does anything happen to him when you lie like that in front of Congress no they absolutely could investigate him they could they could do all sorts of things I mean they could press charge no question they could will there be any support for it I don't know but but he sat there again this guy every chance he gets he lies and he's he's the guy in charge of the Border he's sat up there constantly and lied there is no accountability whatsoever in in everybody in every party should be terrified of what they see right here mhm because if you get a different president who talks to a different company and says you shut the mouths of my opponent you shut him up and that's exactly what the Biden Harris Administration did and it should terrify everyone you do not want this and and so Zuckerberg coming out I think it is surprising but it's also more than surprising it's scary and if you don't have people from both sides saying wait a minute this cannot continue I I worry this just is another straw on the cam back that that makes this more and more dangerous the further down the road we go oh of course I mean I'm curious as to why Zucker book has come forward now it's it's interesting um but maybe there's fear that I I mean I don't know exactly what you said this has to work on both sides you should be scared as a consumer uh you should have no political party should be having this kind of dominant um situation be able to come in and dictate what gets pushed out on social media the government has no role in this no I mean you kidding what what country do we live in I if literally you have the Biden Administration calling people saying get that off social media like that that is not the country we live in and you don't want that country do you want Trump doing that in two years if he wins do you of course you don't no so stand up right now and go after your own side this whole oh well they're wearing a blue jersey so I'm not going to worry about it or Republicans saying oh they're wearing a red jersey I'm not going to worry about it bull crap yeah you should worry about it sorry for the sorry for the strong language there why you calm hey John de calm down all right it's it is crazy so uh a great headline here from Politico today oh yeah really it's riveting it says our corrupt leadership and then it says Vance tries to tether Harris to Biden during Michigan rally The Audacity Of trying to tie Harris who's the VP by the way just in case anybody's curious you mean wait wait wait yeah really the audacity that the overreach made by Vance to you know tie the two of these people together still this guy Vance I mean what is his deal you know what I'm going to need a fact check on this let's go to PolitiFact let's check it Republicans claim kamla Harris served as vice president to Joe Biden ah PolitiFact truth and meter false false yes it's false thank you very much AA thank you very much AA absolutely true uh no but that's it so this was the meme going around on X over the past couple of days which is this is literally what we're headed for next is the truth and meter from PolitiFact when they when they literally come out and say no no no turns out she was not his vice president well you know honestly they want to do everything they can to separate her from Biden well let's not mention at all that you do not see Harris and Biden ever together I mean we don't see Biden perod well yeah mean on V by the way that's another thing that the fact that we don't have a president right now is it should be terrifying to everybody but he's sleeping and he's he's tired no I I really this isn't like a joke like this is this is where where is he like literally we're talking weeks at a time did any of us imagine that we would be living in a country where the president of the United States would be literally off the scene for weeks at a time and no one's talking about it now I guess what I'm confused about is why don't they just say he's he needs to actually step down I mean there's six more months of this so what is I mean yes there is well you think September to January right I mean there's that's technically six months just under six months so what do you do for that like can you not call can you not say listen you got to step down and then what she becomes president well of course she's vice president so why is that oh you're starting to buy into the the other line which just like is she really vice president no no she's busic campaigning she's a brand new candidate we've never seen her before I don't know if you know that or not she's brand new I apparently so brand new that you're like well so then who would be vice president who becomes president no I'm just wondering like I'm assuming it's her right so well yeah you're assuming she's the vice president well day one mark She's gonna do a lot of things on day one and you heard that I'm just saying like why do they not have him step down then and have her go in what's the theory there he won't he won't give it up he won't okay but like if he's incapacitated and can't handle the job I don't know if he's incapacitated or not I don't see him I don't know right the whole thing well clearly that's I mean we can see the issues that he had you know prior to this and now we just don't see him at all so this is so that doesn't tell me that we should have a lot of faith and he's a healthy guy right now and he's doing well I know I know I know like if you're going to try to you know end out your you know your Legacy by being a strong president you would have more of a presence I would think you would think anyway okay sorry but keep going on no so moving on to uh this this ties in though when you see headlines like you're talking about like the audacity of JD Vance to try to hook Kam Harris to to Joe Biden it shows you what we have with the media and the Trust in Media right now is through the floor I mean it really is now it's always been that way for Republicans it's been low for Republicans Republicans were although in 20153 2% of Republicans trusted the media now the numbers 11% of Republicans trust the media and that 11% I don't know who they're dealing with uh Independents 29% now trust the media interesting number on Democrats 73 trusted the media in 2020 that's now down to 58 some of that I do believe even on on the Democratic side has to do with what's happened with covid and things like that where you were told a variety of things and then or or dictated to in in a variety of ways uh and then you know obviously that changes but as you go back into the 1970s you can see that how high those numbers were for all parties you know you had Trust in Media 60 to 70% that continues to creat her and that whole thought process of I don't know what to believe anymore and where do I go to find truth and that's where there's an opportunity for networks and and CNN could have taken that opportunity over the past 10 years they haven't chosen to they've decided just as a as a by the way as as a business approach the whole thing of hey let's fight it out with every other major news outlet and MSNBC to see how far and how left we can go and how biased we can be so we can all share a tiny sliver of the electorate just cut it up in tiny little pieces of that side of the electorate versus saying you know what let's just tell the truth and then you know what sometimes they're going to hate us sometimes they're going to love us but we're going to get a bigger audience because of it but no but they're not doing it yeah terrible business plan terrible just awful speaking of bad business plans we're going to do a deep dive what yeah deep dive this is the Deep divea give me uh some Applause on the Deep dive I'm going to need here I think is the best way yeah thank you thank you thank you very much I appreciate it okay so uh we're excited on this I want to talk to you briefly and I won't take too long on this deep dive but you're hearing a lot about what's going to happen with with various economic plans and you know we heard vice president Harris come out with she wants price controls and would lead to just devastating devastating issues if we do that but she's also talked about various tax hikes and things like that for the electorate and for businesses as well so I want to talk a little bit about the Trump tax cuts because I don't think people fully realize what happened with the Trump tax cuts okay and how they were very very beneficial to just about everybody in the country what you hear now is a total rewriting of History where it says oh these Trump tax were just for the rich and then they move on that's not true it's not true at all and if you actually look at the numbers and we're going to go through the numbers with you these are critical these Trump tax cuts to keep them in place the problem with them is they they're not in perpetuity they Sunset okay so next year they Sunset they will go away your taxes will go up I don't care if you're lower income middle income in some cases upper income but but really middle and lower income families benefited in a huge way from these tax cuts so this comes from IRS data okay that's where we're getting this from that's what you're about to see here okay we didn't just pull this out of thin air we didn't we didn't go to the you know the Federalist society and get this information okay this is from the IRS so I want to start with clip number one Eva a careful analysis of the IRS tax data one that includes the effects of the tax credits and other reforms to the tax code from that tax policy shows that filers with an adjusted gross income of 15,000 to 50,000 enjoyed an average tax cut of of 16 to 26% in 2018 that is a huge tax cut that's the first year of the tax cuts and jobs act when it went into effect okay it's not just the very lowest income levels either filers who earned 50,000 to 100,000 received a tax break of about 15 to 177% and those earning 100,000 to 500,000 in a gross adjusted income saw their personal income tax cut by around 11 to 133% so notice What's Happening Here biggest tax cuts for the lowest income people and then a little less as you go up the scale so the biggest benefit was definitely for those lower down on the income scale but it doesn't end there so we have more data on this as well by comparison no income group with an adjusted gross income of at least $500,000 received an average tax cut exceeding 9% meaning if you made more money your percentage of a cut was much lower okay which you know again you have more money too right but still so the biggest benefit the biggest percentages went to those who needed the money most and that is important that means most middle income and working class earners enjoyed a tax cut that was at least double the size of the tax cut received by those were earning a million dollars or more right so it's not this hey only the rich got the tax breaks under TR absolutely it's just not true it's a lie so and I just want you to know the truth because when you hear all of this these tax cuts are going to matter to Working Families when this election is over so one more thing and this is an interesting piece of data the last little nugget here and this is really really important so please pay attention to this every income bracket with a top level lower than $25,000 okay so those making under $25,000 experienced a reduction in its number of filers and every income bracket above $25,000 increased in size with the biggest gains occurring in the brackets with a floor of at least $100,000 so what does this mean it means those who earned $25,000 or less the number of those people decreased why because they went up to a new level they made more money they made more money so we saw the lowest levels of the economy lift up okay that's exactly what a tax bill do it should really push the biggest benefit to those who need it the most in this did that okay it absolutely did that and there it will end I think next year right right it sunsets next year now here was one of the criticisms one more thing on this here was one of the big criticisms on this at the time when it was put out Democrats said and those who didn't vote for it said it's going to cost too much money it's going to cost cost the the the the government the government's going to lose money so look out everybody right hav forid okay turns out that didn't happen either so I want you to listen to Andy puer and what he said about this opening look the Trump tax cuts one thing that everybody seems to ignore is the Trump tax cuts were forecasted by the Congressional budget office to reduce tax revenue over a 10-year period by 1.1 trillion dollars from the higher tax rates that were in place when the bill was passed the now that we have six years of information under our belt CBO is projecting that those tax cuts will actually generate $600 billion more so that's a 1.7 trillion do miss by the CBO on the Trump on the original Trump tax cut so tax cuts these tax cuts not only created jobs they created increased tax revenue uh which of course came in during the Biden Harris Administration they did okay so just think about that for a second the CBO says this going to cost 1.1 trillion dollar if you do this they were wrong it brought in an additional $600 billion so off there this thing actually brought more money in it boosted the economy and that's why going into covid this country had a very strong economy this is good tax policy but it gets demagogued in an election and I just want you to be able to understand that this stuff matters and policy matters and we have to pay attention to this stuff and so when it said said that oh the Trump tax CS were just for the rich that's a reflexive lazy disingenuous argument from those who don't want to admit this thing was very very helpful to a lot of Americans and the last number is 82% of Americans got a tax cut from that act so that really means something I and I just wanted to talk about it because I I fear that if we go through this election and then we have someone elected who is going to just let that go away okay then every one of you is going to feel it well every single one of you will ow more money in taxes it's that simple yeah like even even on top of even then not even taking into account the things that she's going to add to it in her in her tax plan which is adding taxes to almost everything under the Sun but okay well that'll be interesting hopefully that gets brought up in the debate hopefully there's an opportunity for that conversation I don't know if there will be well the problem is you get into a debate and it's like and Trump says give a text good you know and it helped everybody and haris says no it just help your rich friends and then she just moves on like right and then there's no they don't come back too there's no discussion yeah that's where a moderator saying whoa wait a minute yeah actually hold on this helped a lot of people and that's that's why you get disingenuous moderators you you get a disingenuous media right now who does not actually present the American people with the facts and that part of it is heartbreaking all right I I kind of misplaced this story but I still think it's interesting okay the hair is flip-flopping on the border wall yeah well this is that's basically the the headline if you look at this right now haris flip-flopping on the border wall now she's basically saying she's going to keep it yeah if she's elected president she's going to pledge to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on the wall along with the southern border a project that she once opposed and called unamerican during the Trump Administration wait hold on did she really did she really say that though well she'll tell you probably on uh in her interview tomorrow she never really said that but I bet you we have video what I bet we do there's video I'm sure there is let's check it out here I'm not going to vote for a wall under any circumstances the president's medeval vanity project is not going to stop them this issue is about a vanity project for this President this is a crisis of his own making for the sake of This president's medieval vanity project called folks have plenty enough problems that they need their president to focus on instead of a wall basic English language definition it is not an emergency problem is ripping off another Trump idea the big beautiful border wall the wall was something she once called quote unamerican when Trump was an office uh now of course she's taking uh at least rhetorically a much tougher line on border security he talks about this wall let me know how high it is if it's 25 ft then I'll invest in the 30t ladder Factory it's the latest example of Harris flip-flopping on her past liberal positions what do you make of her transformation on this issue after decades in law enforcement I know the importance of safety I refuse to play politics with our security here is my pledge to you okay it's from Wesley hunt who's a congressman in Texas this is one of the most egregious flip-flops disingenuous Ridiculousness that that I've seen but it's not a surprise yeah calling it a vanity project and that it was like a madeup problem by Trump if people don't wake up to that nonsense I mean he should just you know he he should just be making all of his ads talk about that I mean honestly that she didn't believe there's a crisis when she knew there was a crisis right and then you know it's like now it's even gotten worse under them well did she know there was Crisis though really or did they just not not care I mean I I don't know who knows how does she not know she's the borders are I know she's there she went to the Border Mark went to the Border yes I got it okay anyway I found this story to be funny just because yeah we got a couple light ones standing yeah this is a lighter story uh because I worked in PR I've worked in PR for a really long time right so I loved this when I read this headline basically it's supposed to be it's a tourism site in Kentucky right and apparently they got a lot of negative reviews and so they spun that around to make it a positive that they've gotten some of the worst reviews to visit this like this cave basically it's a national park down in Kentucky so they say world of regret awaits at this letdown of a national park and it said here that on the heels of a ranking that included Mammoth C National Park among the quote most disappointing attractions in the United States the Kentucky Park is doubling down on those negative reviews it says here they put on their website come experience what has disappointed millions of people for over 225 years and then they said that they were ranked third most disappointing behind Kennedy Space Center and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame yeah and so then they this quote while we think the world's longest cave system in over 4,000 years of human history is amazing others find that the cave is quote very dark and is nothing cool to see here the national park said and then it said if you would like to experience the disappointment of Mammoth Cave visit our website and choose from one of our many activities that will leave you quote unfulfilled the park said you can be disappointed by a dry hole with very few staglam mites and stagl ties or discover nothing other than trees on an 80 plus mile of biking hiking sles and slag ties okay whatever um basically it say and then they just added a world of regret awaits you at Mammoth gave I'm like this is awesome that they could have the common sense enough to take those bad reviews twist them around it's like Mean Tweets basically they basically took fantastic flipped it on his head and I loved it so I for them it's so true so now you got to go to Mammoth Cave and I will tell you if we were close to Mammoth Cave now and a we're driving there's no way I'm going if I don't see this I see this now I'm like yeah I'm going to go be disappointed I love it let's do this let's go be disappointed yeah I can't be can't wait to get there and I have the girls how is the biggest ball of yarn not one of the biggest you know it's not a national park oh okay that's what they're I think that's I think that's my guess the Rock and Roll History Museum Hall of Fame is a national park no no no it's not though okay yeah I don't I don't think the space okay but those are bigger deals than a bul yarn okay okay come on all right all right one more so I I was going through and I don't know how many of you are familiar with the phenomenon of yach rock but yach rock is sort of this 70s feel rock where it's like and on uh we need like a tune to yeah like Sirius XM U I'm trying to think of a a good yach Rock um P colada is a good yach rock uh you know like no no we can't we can't play it because of that but but it is that kind of yach rock sort of song um 70s stuff like that well there's a guy who took Metallica's Ander Sandman okay and and I don't know how many of you know enner Sandman but it is a yeah yeah I me the words are wrong but yeah nice job whatever but you're right does anybody know the words James Hetfield singing uh Ander Sandman you know I it is like has a heavy beats it's a great song okay and like when we were in high school it was like the greatest song ever so uh I love it and so this guy on on Instagram puts it through AI as if it were a YT rock song okay so no so that's what it it sounds like so it's going to have this kind of 70s Groove to to the lyrics from enner Sandman and it is hilarious so it sounds like McDonald yeah he's jamming [Music] it say your prayers little one don't forget my son to include everyone that's least I can understand the words in
