on duffy sean it's great to have you
back on what do you think of the house
now moving on with elise stefanik
leading the charge
against the buying agenda possibly
replacing liz cheney
well i think that liz cheney is going to
be out as a foregone conclusion i mean
liz janey
as a member of congress she can say
whatever she wants and
is held accountable to her constituents
however as the conference chair she's
put her interests over the interest of
the conference and she's created
real consternation with the republican
base and members of congress so i think
on tuesday liz
she is going to be voted out the next
week they'll probably come back
and have elections i think elise
stefanik is probably the top choice
uh this has been a position that a woman
has normally held
and so i imagine that elise smart
articulate
i have been supportive of the the
president's agenda will get the nod
and sean you know new yorker magazine
reporting that liz cheney quote secretly
orchestrated
an opinion piece in the washington post
earlier this year
from all 10 living former defense
secretaries slamming for
president trump that doesn't look good
for liz cheney i want to move on to this
the biden administration in order to pay
for his big spending
they're now talking about giving even
more power to the irs
to make banks a tool in the irs arsenal
it would force
banks possibly even brokerages to
automatically and directly report to the
irs
of the government all of their customers
money flows going in and out of all of
their bank accounts
and maybe brokerage accounts too we
we've never seen this before they
already get our wage information do they
need this information
would they get so much information in
1099s why do they need that
so listen we want everyone who owes
taxes to pay the tax bill that they owe
now we all want our taxes to be lower
but if you owe a bill
you should pay it but the fact that
they're going to go take all of this
information the inflow and outflow
of your bank information two two
questions come up number one
if you think back to barack obama what
the irs was doing with regard to the tea
party
and not giving them tax-exempt status
they play politics within
uh the irs number one but number two
that's a lot of personal private data
that
they're not equipped to hold and hold
securely so um i listen i think you have
a right to privacy
they don't have a place to to access all
this information and i think
banks should push back now they probably
won't but the american people should
push back
they get enough information on us and uh
we are entitled to just one little
sliverless
of a little bit of privacy and by the
way if they think we've avoided taxes
then go get our bank information but if
if i'm not a suspect of avoiding taxes
just don't automatically go tank take my
bank information i don't know what
you're going to use it for and i don't
trust you in the irs
yeah and you know you're right you make
an important point the irs has been
abused for political purposes
mostly ninety percent of the time by
democrats going back to fdr
happened under kennedy happened under
clinton and obama
and also the irs has been hacked before
so we got to watch this one and the
other thing too sean what do you think
of this
you know buying and democrats want
biden's infrastructure green new deal
to over overhaul the entire u.s economy
you probably saw this sean
china's greenhouse gas emissions now
exceed the
entire rest of the developed world
combined what do you think of that
well when i was in congress i talked
about this all the time if you care
about the environment and co2 emissions
then you care about putting america
first and making sure that we have rules
and regulations and taxes
that keep manufacturing in america not
only is it good for the american worker
because they have a job but if those
manufacturers leave america and go to
china
they don't do it as cleanly as we do
it's worse for the environment so
if you set up policies like what
happening right now with with
huge regulation and big taxes and
companies leave you see
far more output because they don't have
the rules and regulations in places like
china
and we live in a global environment
where we all share the pollution
from countries around the world so good
policy is
uh making sure that businesses stay
right at home here in america and don't
go to china
that's a good point and you know the
thing too i think half of china's energy
comes from coal
all right sean duffy always terrific to
have you on come back soon
thanks
