GIVES 83% TO HAVE BENEFITS TOP
TOP 1%.
MARIA: JOINING ME RIGHT NOW
CONGRESSMAN OF RACIAL LIDAR
NIGER.
>> GOOD MORNING.
MARIA: SHE BASICALLY TELLS YOU
EXACTLY WHAT SHE'S THINKING, SHE
WILL REVERSE TAX PLAN IN
NOVEMBER, I DON'T THINK THAT'S
WHAT PEOPLE WANT?
>> NO, IT WILL FALL ON THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE WHO ARE ENJOYING
THE HUGE BENEFIT OF THE TAX CUT,
NOT JUST THE TAX CUT, OF COURSE,
CORPORATIONS ARE GIVING BONUSES,
THEY ARE CREATING MORE JOBS AND
THE HIDDEN STORY IS THE NUMBER
OF SMALL BUSINESSES OF
ENTREPRENEURS THAT ARE GOING TO
GET A BIG VOID FROM THE TAX
CUTS.
MARIA: SO YOU REALLY WANT TO SEE
LOWER TAXES.
BY THE WAY F WE WERE TO GO TO
CORPORATE TAX RATE OF 35% FROM
21% --
>> OUTRAGEOUS.
MARIA: HUGE DEAL.
>> STIFLE THE BOOMING AND ON
STEROIDS.
NOT ON STEROIDS, NATURAL GROWTH.
MARIA: WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENS
IN NOVEMBER, ARE THEY GIVING IT
AWAY, ARE THEY CHANGING CHANCES
OF TAKING OVER THE HOUSE?
>> ALL I SAY, NANCY PELOSI,
HILLARY CLINTON PLEASE KEEP
TALKING.
[LAUGHTER]
>> PLEASE.
THEY ARE THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON
GIVING.
MARIA: ALL RIGHT, MEANWHILE
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS REPORTEDLY
INVITED CONTROVERSIAL NFL FREE
AGENT COLIN KAEPERNICK ALONG
WITH KANYE WEST TO A SUMMIT ON
RACE AT THE WHITE HOUSE, HERE IS
WHAT THE PRESIDENT HAD TO SAY
ABOUT KANYE ABOUT A SPEECH IN
DALLAS.
>> KANYE WEST MUST HAVE SOME
POWER BECAUSE YOU PROBABLY SAW I
DOUBLED MY AFRICAN AMERICAN POLL
NUMBERS.
WENT FROM 11 TO 22 IN ONE WEEK,
THANK YOU, KANYE.
MARIA: IT IS ALSO TRUE THAT
BLACK UNEMPLOYMENT IS AT VERY
LOW LEVEL.
RECORD LOW UNEMPLOYMENT.
LOWEST IT'S BEEN IN RECORDED
HISTORY.
EXTRAORDINARY.
MARIA: DO YOU ATTRIBUTE SOME OF
THAT TO TRUMP'S POLICIES?
>> THERE'S NO QUESTION.
KEEP IN MIND, THE ECONOMY
STARTED BOOMING AFTER HE GOT
ELECTED BECAUSE PEOPLE
MOVE THE AGENDA.
MARIA: WE KNEW TO ANTICIPATE IT.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
AND BUSINESSES KNEW AND SMALL
BUSINESSES, AGAIN, YOU KNOW,
LOOK THE FORTUNE 500, THE BIG
MEGA MULTINATIONALS THEY CAN
SURVIVE HIGH TAXES, LOW TAXES,
THE FOLKS WHO CAN'T SURVIVE ARE
THE BIGGEST JOB CREATORS.
MANY OF THEM THAT ARE RUN BY
BLACKS, HISPANICS, HISPANIC
WOMEN ARE THE LARGEST NUMBER OF
BIGGEST GROWING NUMBER OF SMALL
BUSINESSES IN THE COUNTRY.
MARIA: I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT.
THAT'S TERRIFIC.
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S REPORTED
INVITATION TO COLIN KAEPERNICK
MAY COME AS SURPRISE GIVEN HARSH
CRITICISM OF THE NFL, REMEMBER
ALL OF THAT, LISTEN TO THIS.
>> WHEN YOU GO DOWN AND TAKE A
KNEE OR ANY OTHER WAY, YOU'RE
SITTING ESSENTIALLY FOR OUR
GREAT NATIONAL ANTHEM, YOU'RE
DISRESPECTING OUR FLAG AND
YOU'RE DISRESPECTING OUR
COUNTRY.
AND THE NFL SHOULD HAVE
SUSPENDED SOME OF THESE PLAYERS
FOR ONE GAME, NOT FIRE THEM,
SUSPEND THEM FOR ONE GAME AND
THEN IF THEY DID IT AGAIN, 2
GAMES, AND 3 GAMES AND THEN FOR
THE SEASON.
MARIA: SO HE WAS VERY UPSET
ABOUT THE KNEELING, WE KNOW
THAT.
BUT COULD THIS BE THE BEGINNING
OF THE NFL AND THE PRESIDENT
MENDING FENCES WITH THIS RACE
SUMMIT, WHAT'S YOUR TAKE ON THE
RACE SUMMIT?
>> I HAVE SEEN THE RACE SUMMITS
FOR DECADES, WHITES FEEL GUILTY,
WHITES FEEL GOOD BY GETTING
WHIPPED AND MINORITIES FEEL GOOD
ABOUT WHIPPING ON WHITES AND GO
HOME AND ISSUES DON'T GET
SOLVED.
IF WE WANT TO HAVE POLITICAL
DIALOGUE AND WHITES ARE ABLE TO
SAY EXACTLY HOW THEY FEEL AND
HISPANICS AND BLACKS ARE ABLE TO
REALLY HAVE EXCHANGE OF IDEAS,
THERE MIGHT COME SOMETHING FROM
IT.
MARIA: WHAT DO YOU THINK THE
BLACK COMMUNITY THINKS OF DONALD
TRUMP?
>> I THINK IT'S MIXED.
THERE'S NO DOUBT THAT HE HAS A
LONG WAY TO GO IN TERMS OF
PENETRATING IN THE AFRICAN
AMERICAN.
AMONG BLACK MEN THE NUMBERS HAVE
JUMPED, HE DID WELL FOR
REPUBLICAN IN 2016 AMONG BLACK
MEN.
HE WAS LAGGING BEHIND WITH BLACK
WOMEN BUT THEY ARE STARTING TO
CATCH UP AND THE NUMBERS ARE
INCREASING AS WELL.
BLACK WOMEN HAVE SONS, THEY HAVE
HUSBANDS.
MARIA: THEY WANT ECONOMIC
OPPORTUNITY JUST LIKE EVERYBODY
