Summary

Today, I provide the most in-depth math behind taxes and spending in budget reconciliation and the message Republicans are lacking. Under the current trajectory, Republicans will incur the worst mix of policy and political outcomes. They are mistakenly blowing their capital on inefficient tax cuts that can easily be demagogued in exchange for fake spending cuts that will be enough to elicit political blowback but not enough to reduce inflation. I juxtapose their bill to my proposal, which would make health care reform, welfare reform, foreign labor cuts, and small business tax cuts the core of the agenda. I explain how I would deal with the expiring tax cuts differently and how our plan is much more populist in message but at the same time more conservative in outcome.

The opportunity that it represents juxtapose to the pitfall that it will head to. And, you know, there's a lot going on.

Obviously, we're not going to be able to get too much of it today. But you're ready to see the deportations are kind of tailing off.

0:52.7

The courts are striking down everything now, even the

0:55.2

refugee stuff, which is ridiculous, of course, that a court could do that, but they're going to

1:00.2

keep doing whatever they can get away with until we push back against judicial supremacism.

1:07.1

And then you look at Congress, so you have all this doge stuff.

1:11.8

Most of it's a lie, most of it's a sleight of hand, most of it's illusory.

1:16.2

What is real is not being codified in Congress.

1:19.9

So you get all the liabilities of looking like you have this rich guy unilaterally do something without permission of Congress,

1:30.5

without actually doing it through the front door with the proper messaging. And I'm here today to tell you that what I see

1:35.7

happening is the Obamacare fight 2.0 in 2017, where you get all of the liabilities of doing what you're doing,

1:46.9

but none of the actual benefits of doing it,

1:50.0

you have a backwards message, a backwards strategy,

1:55.4

a backwards emphasis and approach.
