MARIA: WELCOME BACK.
A DEMOCRATS ARE RACING
AGAINST THE CLOCK TO
SALVAGE PRESENT BIDEN’S
ECONOMIC AGENDA WITH
BIDEN MEETING WITH
SENATOR JOE MANCHIN AND
CHUCK SCHUMER YESTERDAY
APPEARED.
IT NOW LOOKS LIKE THEY
ARE PRIORITIZING A TAX
ON BILLIONAIRES,
UNREALIZED CAPITAL GAINS
TO BE INCLUDED TO HELP
PAY FOR THE MASSIVE
SPENDING PACKAGE.
IT WON’T BE ENOUGH AND
JOINING ME NOW IS
GEORGIA CONGRESSMAN
BUDDY CARTER.
CONGRESSMAN, GOOD TO SEE
YOU.
THANK YOU FOR BEING
HERE.
CAN YOU TALK TO US A BIT
ABOUT WHAT IS BEING
DISCUSSED WITH PAIN FOR
THIS PACKAGE?
>> EVENTUALLY NOTHING
EXCEPT LET’S TRY TO TAX
AS MUCH AS WE CAN.
IN REALITY WHAT WILL
HAPPEN WITH THIS PACKAGE
IF IT’S PASSED AS
PROPOSED, IT’S GOING TO
BE EIGHT TAX, THE
BIGGEST TAX INCREASE IN
THE HISTORY OF OUR
COUNTRY, $2.1 TRILLION
INCREASE IN-- IMPACTING
THE MIDDLE CLASS AND
LOWER CLASS JUST AS
MUCH.
WE ALREADY SEE TAXES IN
THE WAY OF INFLATION.
INFLATION IS NOTHING
MORE THAN A TAX.
INFLATION IS RUNNING
RAMPANT RIGHT NOW AND IT
WILL IMPACT THE MIDDLE
AND LOWER CLASS THE
MOST, THEY ARE THE ONES
IMPACTED THE MOST BY
THIS.
THIS ADMINISTRATION SAYS
IT WON’T COST ANYTHING,
THAT’S LUDICROUS.
DO THEY THINK THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE
STUPID?
THEY ARE NOT STUPID.
THEY KNOW THEY HAVE TO
PAY FOR IT.
MARIA: APPARENTLY HE DOES THINK
WE ARE STUPID BECAUSE IN
ADDITION TO SAYING IT WON’T COST
ANYTHING, HE SAID IT’S A TAX CUT
, I MEAN, IT’S EXTRAORDINARY
THAT HE CAN JUST SPEW OUT THESE
MISINFORMATION AND THESE LIES.
LOOK, IT’S NOT JUST THE
TOP LINE NUMBER, IT’S
ALSO THE FEDERAL BIG
PACKAGES THAT ARE IN
THERE BECAUSE THEIR
ARGUMENTS THAT SAY THAT
CHILD TAX CREDIT WILL GO
AWAY IN A YEAR, THE
FAMILY LEAVE COULD GO
AWAY IN A YEAR, BUT WE
KNOW IT’S NOT TRUE.
THEY AREN’T GOING AWAY
ANY YEAR.
WHY WOULD YOU DO A 10
YEAR PACKAGE AND HAD
PACKAGES GO AWAY IN A
YEAR?
WAS THE TWO-- TRUE COST
OF THIS PACKAGE?
>> THE TRUE COST IS MORE
LIKE $5.5 TRILLION AS
OPPOSED TO THE
3.5 TRILLION THEY ARE
PROPOSING OR THAT THEY
SAY IT IS.
YOU MAKE A GREAT POINT,
MARIA, BECAUSE YOU ASK
HOW CAN THEY GET THIS
PACKAGE DOWN AND WE HAVE
HEARD NANCY MAY BE
AMENABLE TO A
$1.5 TRILLION PACKAGE.
THE WAY YOU GET IT DOWN
AS YOU CUT THE PROGRAMS
FROM 10 YEAR TO FIVE
YEAR OR MAYBE ONE YEAR
END WE KNOW IT WILL BE
DIFFICULT TO END THESE
PROGRAMS.
REAGAN SAID YEARS AGO
THE CLOSEST THING YOU
SEE TO ETERNITY ON EARTH
IS A GOVERNMENT PROGRAM
BECAUSE THEY ARE NEVER
ENDING AND THAT IS WHAT
WILL HAPPEN HERE.
MARIA: YEP.
LET ME TURN TO THE
BORDER BECAUSE I KNOW
YOU HAVE BEEN THERE.
WE WERE THERE THREE
TIMES IN THE LASTED TWO
YEARS AND WE HAVE
WATCHED THE SITUATION
WORSENED SIGNIFICANTLY.
NOW, WE EXPECT ANOTHER
MASSIVE ORGANIZED
CARAVAN OF MIGRANTS
MAKING THEIR WAY TO THE
SOUTHERN BORDER RIGHT
NOW SURGING PAST MEXICAN
FORCES TRYING TO STOP IT
OVER THE WEEKEND AND THE
ORGANIZER CALLING OUT
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION
SAYING MONEY WON’T SOLVE
THE PROBLEM.
UNCLEAR WHAT THEY WANT.
I HAVE AN EXCLUSIVE
STORY THIS MORNING THAT
I HAVE LEARNED THAT
CARTELS ARE PAYING
TEENAGERS, 15, 16 YEAR
OLD KIDS A THOUSAND
DOLLARS FOR EVERY
MIGRANT THEY CAN DRIVE
TO HOUSTON.
YOU HAVE THESE TEENAGERS
WITH CARS BACK AND FORTH
FROM THE BORDER TO
HOUSTON ALL DAY LONG AND
WE HAVE ONE SITUATION
WHERE THERE WAS A
TEENAGER APPREHENDED
THIS WEEKEND AND HIS CAR
WENT OVER A DITCH,
TIPPED OVER.
HERE IS A SHOT OF IT.
IN THE TRUCK HE HAD 13
ILLEGALS JAMMED IN THE
BACKSEAT.
HE WAS GOING TO MAKE
$13,000 AND TELL HE WAS
APPREHENDED BY THE
SHERIFF’S OFFICE.
WE WILL TALK WITH THE
SHERIFF OF JACKSON
COUNTY COMING UP, BUT
YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT
THESE MEXICAN CARTELS
WITH THIS ORGANIZED PLAN
TO NOW ENTRAP TEENAGERS
THROUGH TIKTOK.
YOUR REACTION?
>> IT’S UNBELIEVABLE
THIS IS GOING ON, BUT IT
BRINGS UP A COUPLE
PROBLEMS.
FIRST OF ALL WE HAVE TO
DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE
INTERNET.
I DON’T WANT TO, I HAVE
MADE THAT CLEAR TO
EVERYONE THAT I DON’T
WANT GOVERNMENT TO HAVE
TO INTERVENE, BUT THEY
ARE GIVING US NO CHOICE.
ZUCKERBERG, JACK DORSEY,
NONE OF THEM WILL DO IT
THERE OURSELVES SO WE
WILL HAVE TO DO IT IT.
WE ARE PROPOSING, WE
HAVE PROPOSALS OUT NOW
TO CONTROL THIS.
I ONLY WISH THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION WERE AS
ORGANIZED AS THE CARTELS
ARE, I MEAN, THEY RUN
LIKE A WELL OILED
MACHINE WHEREAS THE
BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS
ORGANIZED, THEY JUST SAY
WE ARE GOING TO DO
ANYTHING AT ALL EXCEPT
REVERSE TRUMP POLICIES.
THAT’S THE ONLY REASON
THEY ARE DOING THIS IS
BECAUSE THEY WANT TO
JUST THE OPPOSITE WHEN
IN REALITY THEY COULD
CONTROL THE BORDER AND
SECURE THE BORDER IF
THEY WOULD JUST PUT THE
TRUMP POLICIES BACK IN
PLACE.
BUILD THE WALTER TO STAY
IN MEXICO POLICY.
ALL OF THOSE THINGS.
MARIA: UNFORTUNATELY NOT BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION CANCELED THE
REMAINING CONTRACTS FOR THE
BORDER WALL CONSTRUCTION AND
LAST WEEK HE LIED TO THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE AGAIN AND HE
SAID HE WAS AT THE BORDER, WHICH
OF COURSE WE KNOW THAT HAS NEVER
TAKEN PLACE AS HE’S NEVER BEEN
TO THE BORDER IN HIS 50 YEARS IN
GOVERNMENT.
THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS
SECRETARY SAID HE FLEW
TO EL PASO ONCE DURING A
CAMPAIGN STOP-- THAT’S
NOT GOING TO THE BORDER
AND OBVIOUSLY THE
SITUATION HAS WORSENED
UNDER HIS WATCH SO
CONGRESSMAN, WE WILL
KEEP A SPOTLIGHT ON IT.
WE HAVE MORE OF THE
