DAGEN: A NEW STUDY FROM THE
NONPARTISAN JOINT COMMITTEE ON
TAXATION FINDING THE INFLATION
REDUCTION ACT WILL ACTUALLY
RAISE TAXES ON MILLIONS OF
AMERICANS, ESPECIALLY THE MIDDLE
CLASS.
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
EDITORIAL BOARD TAKING AIM AT
THE MANCHIN/SCHUMER DEAL,
WRITING, QUOTE, THIS GIVES LIE
TO DEMOCRATIC CLAIMS THAT NO ONE
EARNING UNDER $400,000 WILL PAY
MORE TAXES UNDER THIS BILL.
A PROMISE MR. BIDEN OFTEN MADE
IN HIS CAMPAIGN.
JOINING ME NOW, FLORIDA
CONGRESSMAN, CARLOS JIMINEZ.
HE’S A MEMBER OF THE HOUSE
HOMELAND SECURITY AND
TRANSPORTATION AND
INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITTEES.
CONGRESSMAN, ALWAYS A PLEASURE
TO SEE YOU.
SO IT RAISES TAXES ON ALMOST ALL
AMERICANS AND IT CRUSHES THIS
NEW 15% 15% MINIMUM TAX, ABOUT 5
OF IT WILL BE BORNE BY
MANUFACTURERS.
HOW DID THEY CONCOCT THIS AND
HOW DO THEY THINK THAT IN AN
ELECTION YEAR OTHER DEMOCRATS
WILL GET ON BOARD WITH IT?
>> WELL, I THINK THEY LIVE IN A
BIZARREO WORLD, EVERYTHING IS
UPSIDE DOWN.
ALL THE POLICIES OF PRESIDENT
BIDEN HAS JUST GOTTEN US TO THIS
PLACE.
WE’RE IN A PLACE WHERE WE HAVE
INFLATION ROARING OUT OF
CONTROL, WE HAVE HIGHER INTEREST
RATES AND NOW WE HAVE A
RECESSION.
I CALL THAT THE TRIPLE PLAY OF
MISERY AND ON TOP OF THIS YOU
GET THIS MONSTROSITY OF A BILL
THAT ACTUALLY DOES RAISE TAXES
ON EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US
BECAUSE THE IRS IS GOING TO COME
AFTER US SO IF YOU REALLY LIKE
TO GET AUDITED BY THE IRS,
YOU’RE GOING TO REALLY LIKE THIS
BILL.
DAGEN: DID THE REPUBLICANS IN
THE SENATE, THOUGH, MITCH
McCONNELL AND THE 16 OTHER
REPUBLICANS WHO VOTED FOR THE
SEMICONDUCTOR BILL THAT CHIPS
SPENDING BILL, DID THEY GET
DUPED?
BECAUSE AGAIN, YOU GOT THESE
REPUBLICANS ON BOARD, 17, 15 OF
THEM ARE NOT RUNNING FOR
RE-ELECTION IN THE MIDTERMS.
ONLY TWO OF THEM ARE.
AND WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT
JOE MANCHIN’S RECONCILIATION,
THIS SPENDING BILL WAS DEAD.
WHAT HAPPENED IN THE SENATE?
>> YEAH, I I THINK A LOT OF THEM
DID GET DUPED.
I THINK MITCH McCONNELL GOT
DUPED ON THIS AND I THINK HE’S
REALLY UPSET ABOUT IT.
YOU SHOULD KEEP YOUR WORD.
SOMEBODY MUST HAVE TOLD HIM THIS
THING IS DEAD.
THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE
REPUBLICANS IN THE HOUSE VOTED
AGAINST THE CHIPS BILL.
WE CAN DO BETTER ONCE WE TAKE
CONTROL OF THE HOUSE MANY THAT’S
THE REASON WHY I VOTED AGAINST
IT.
I BELIEVE WE NEED TO INVEST IN
AMERICAN TECHNOLOGY.
I DO BELIEVE WE NEED TO BRING
BUSINESSES BACK TO AMERICA
ESPECIALLY MANUFACTURING.
AT A TIME WHEN WE WANT TO BRING
THOSE BACK, THIS BILL ACTUALLY
PUTS A TAX ON THOSE BILLS, THOSE
COMPANIES THAT THAT WE’RE TRYING
TO BRING BACK TO AMERICA.
AGAIN, TOTALLY NONSENSICAL,
DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE AT ALL
WHAT THEY’RE TRYING TO DO.
EVERYTHING THEY DO IS BACKWARDS.
IF YOU WANT TO INCENTIVIZE
COMPANIES TO COME BACK TO
AMERICA YOU DON’T RAISE TAXES ON
THEM.
THIS BILL DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE
IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM.
DAGEN: THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION
QUIETLY APPROVING A PORTION OF
BORDER WALL CONSTRUCTION IN
ARIZONA.
WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY
KARINE JEAN JEAN-PIERRE DOWN PLA
THE DECISION FRIDAY WHEN PRESSED
BY PETER DOOCY FROM FOX NEWS.
LISTEN TO THIS.
>> WHY IS THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION BUILDING A BORDER
WALL IN ARIZONA?
>> WE’RE NOT FINISHING THE WALL.
>> BY FINISHING THE WALL, IS
THIS --
>> WE ARE NOT FINISHING THE
WALL.
>> BY FILLING IN, FINISHING --
>> WE ARE NOT FINISHING THE
WALL.
>> BY FILLING IN, IS THIS
RACIST?
BECAUSE IN 2019, WHEN THE FORMER
GUY WAS PROPOSING A WALL, YOU
SAID THAT IT WAS HIS RACIST
WALL.
>> IT’S INEFFECTIVE.
WE ARE NOT FINISHING A WALL.
WE ARE CLEANING UP THE MESS THAT
THE LAST ADMINISTRATION MADE.
DAGEN: CONGRESSMAN, YOU WERE
RECENTLY AT THE BORDER.
YOUR REACTION TO THAT?
>> THE BORDER’S COMPLETELY OUT
OF CONTROL.
WHY THEY’RE BUILDING A PORTION
OF THE WALL, THERE MUST BE SOME
OTHER REASON THAT WE’RE NOT
PRIVY TO BECAUSE ACTUALLY WHAT
THEY DID IS THEY STOPPED
CONSTRUCTION OF THE WALL AND
THEY PAID THE CONTRACTORS THAT
WERE CONSTRUCTING THE WALL NOT
TO CONSTRUCT THE WALL SO USING
TAXPAYER MONEY TO LET THE
CONTRACTORS SIT THERE AND NOT
CONSTRUCT THE WALL.
AGAIN, TOTAL WASTE.
THE CUSTOMS AND BORDER PATROL
AGENTS THAT TOLD US REPEATEDLY
THAT FINISHING THE WALL IS A
HUGE DEAL TO THEM, IT’S A FORCE
MULTIPLIER BUT THIS
ADMINISTRATION HAS NO INTENT ON
REALLY SECURING OUR BORDER MANY
THIS ADMINISTRATION IS VERY
HAPPY WITH WHAT’S GOING ON AT
THE BORDER.
WE’VE HAD OVER 2 MILLION
ENCOUNTERS, PLUS WE HAVE 500,000
PEOPLE THAT HAVE CROSSED THE
BORDER THAT WE KNOW OF THAT WE
DON’T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT AND
THERE’S ANOTHER 500,000,
PROBABLY, THAT WE DON’T KNOW
ABOUT.
SO THERE’S ABOUT A MILLION
PEOPLE, A MILLION IMMIGRANTS
THIS YEAR ALONE, THAT HAVE
CROSSED THE BORDER MANY WE KNOW
NOTHING ABOUT WHO THEY ARE, WHY
THEY’RE HERE, WHERE THEY’RE
GOING.
NOTHING.
AND SO THIS IS ALL DUE TO THE
FAILED POLICIES OF PRESIDENT
BIDEN.
WHICH I BELIEVE ARE ACTUALLY
DONE ON PURPOSE.
SO THIS WHOLE THING IS DONE ON
PURPOSE.
I DON’T KNOW WHY HE’S FINISHING
UP THAT LITTLE PORTION OF THE
WALL.
THEY’VE GOT A BETTER IDEA THAN I
DO.
DAGEN: CONGRESSMAN, GREAT TO
SEE YOU.
CONGRESSMAN CARLOS JIMINEZ.
PLEASE COME BACK.
ENJOY --
>> I WILL, ABSOLUTELY.
DAGEN: ARE.
HILLARY:WHERE AREYOU RIGHT NOW?
WHAT’S THAT BEHIND YOU?
>> IT’S MIAMI, IT’S MY BEAUTIFUL
HOMETOWN ON MIAMI AND I’M VERY
PROUD OF THIS CITY AND WHAT
WE’VE DONE HERE.
DAGEN: I HAVE AN APARTMENT IN
MIAMI AND I WOULD BE LIVING
THERE AND BE A PERMANENT
RESIDENT OF YOUR FINE CITY AND
STATE IF I COULD RIGHT NOW.
