Transcript
00:00:00.440
Holy cow, it's our tax day extravaganza, because we feel so charitable today.
00:00:12.000
So, we gave you even more today on today's podcast.
00:00:17.860
Actually, it's the same amount, but they'll never know.
00:00:22.160
It's the same amount of effort that the government puts into spending your tax dollars wisely.
00:00:30.000
You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:00:44.520
We've been talking about the grooming that is going on in our schools, and that is exactly what it is.
00:00:53.680
And Wednesday, we have a special on Project Groomer.
00:01:03.540
And I know that sounds crazy, but it's all right there if you choose to look for it.
00:01:10.420
Jason Batrill is with us now, and he's outlining all of this and getting it ready for Wednesday's program.
00:01:20.720
You want to touch base on that just a little bit?
00:01:22.620
There are times in this job when I wish that I didn't know what I know.
00:01:26.800
It's like that scene in The Matrix where that guy's like, should I eat the steak and know that it's not real or just is ignorance is bliss?
00:01:34.140
And I'm on that verge of, is ignorance bliss or should I know this?
00:01:40.860
Stu, you remember us having that conversation about 2010?
00:01:43.420
2010, we were all, we were all being red pilled and we're all, we all went, I, oof, we go down this road further and we're really going to not be happy people because we won't be able to just relax and enjoy things.
00:02:05.620
I think, I mean, after this many years, I'm still amazed by how shocked I can get over everything.
00:02:11.920
And you think that you're safe, like in the Bible belt, you know, I got Texas, you know, places in the South.
00:02:17.520
I'm, I'm just reading curriculum from Austin ISD and it's all in there.
00:02:23.640
And you know, we've, we've have parents, we've done a good job, I think over the past year.
00:02:27.460
And I think we've been winning the culture war on this.
00:02:29.720
I mean, I think one of the big reasons the Democrats taking such a hit, but then it's because of this.
00:02:38.020
And then we all go back to sleep and they put it in anyway.
00:02:40.860
They say things like, oh, we're not teaching CRT.
00:02:45.020
Oh, we're not teaching comprehensive sexuality education.
00:02:49.480
And one of the things we're going to show is there's a reason why they can deny these things.
00:02:53.700
It's because there is, I'm just going to call it a triangle.
00:02:57.740
It's part of a curriculum and it goes all the way up to the CDC, all the way up to the
00:03:01.920
CDC for years, brought in by woke activists, leftist activists.
00:03:06.500
And there's three different parts of their overall plan.
00:03:09.880
If you think you're fighting CRT and that's your battle, that's one third of the battle.
00:03:16.260
Comprehensive sexuality education, radical gender theory.
00:03:24.920
I'm like, oh my gosh, I've got questionnaires, Glenn, that we're going to show on.
00:03:27.720
Wednesday, where they're showing five-year-olds, giving five-year-olds a questionnaire to ask
00:03:38.180
I really think it's time for somebody, and I back it a hundred percent, somebody needs
00:04:01.000
And it's much easier to pay attention to it when all of this stuff isn't being fed down
00:04:11.820
Let me turn the topic here to what Durham said, because you and I worked closely on the
00:04:20.800
impeachment thing, and we did the impeachment specials and everything else.
00:04:26.680
Special Counsel John Durham asserted in court on a filing on Friday that the CIA concluded
00:04:33.560
data from the Clinton campaign lawyer, Michael Sussman, alleging coordination between Donald
00:04:40.680
Trump and Russia was, quote, not technically possible, and it was, quote, user-created.
00:04:51.700
So, I mean, go back to one of the indictments that's already happened, that lawyer, the FBI
00:04:58.600
So he was indicted for lying, basically for drumming up evidence.
00:05:03.380
He changed an email so that that could continue to go.
00:05:09.760
User-created is the people that were working for the Clinton campaign actually injected
00:05:15.640
and created this damning information so that they can get, so basically they fabricated
00:05:24.440
Now, I think it's really interesting that the FBI is not being implicated here.
00:05:27.380
They're not saying, hey, there's no evidence that the FBI doubted this at all.
00:05:37.160
All the way from the top, from the director, down to people like Andrew McCabe.
00:05:42.620
Now we have people from the CIA saying, well, we looked at it and it's kind of obvious and
00:05:48.200
So none of this was real, making this even worse.
00:05:54.140
Now, you and I have done so much digging on this and reporting on this.
00:05:58.300
We know all the other people that were involved.
00:06:08.640
In the filing, Durham responded to objections from Sussman's defense regarding what evidence
00:06:13.120
could be admissible at his trial, which is scheduled to begin next month.
00:06:16.880
Sussman is accused of lying to the FBI saying he was not attending a meeting on behalf of
00:06:23.040
a particular client when he was actually presenting the information on behalf of the Hillary Clinton
00:06:28.400
campaign and a technology executive with whom he had worked.
00:06:33.200
So why isn't the Hillary Clinton campaign in trouble?
00:06:45.400
Do you think that that she was shocked and horrified when she found out?
00:06:54.120
Or I'm deep into the motorcycle community, like a motorcycle gang or something like that.
00:06:58.620
Now, how do they go after those two organizations, you know, specifically?
00:07:06.460
Now, why aren't they doing that to the Hillary Clinton campaign and Hillary Clinton herself?
00:07:10.520
There are so many RICO cases that are out there right now that should be RICO cases.
00:07:28.760
There are so many RICO cases right now, and all they're ever going to do is fish for the
00:07:38.140
People like, I mean, think of all the people that were involved here, not to mention the
00:07:46.220
People like Bruce Orr funneling in for all this information, funneling it directly to
00:07:54.180
Why is it the lawyer, the guy in the middle, that he's the guy that accepts it?
00:08:07.100
For the bigger fish, they won't go after the bigger fish.
00:08:10.820
So then what we found out on Friday is, do you remember that thing where they said they
00:08:16.840
had this computer server that was pinging the Russian bank alpha completely made up
00:08:22.900
the fact that Donald Trump has a Russian phone with him and we can track it.
00:08:32.500
We don't know who, but somebody in Russia anytime he wants.
00:08:37.160
And it's with him in high level media and meetings.
00:08:53.220
All of these things, including the Steele dossier, proven untrue.
00:08:59.120
And it all goes back to Hillary Clinton and Hillary Clinton's use of the FBI, Justice
00:09:08.240
Department, the NSA, the CIA, all of them, all of them were in on this.
00:09:15.520
And so and we know from the so from the CIA leaguer that's saying, look, we knew it was
00:09:24.460
The whole point of this, remember, the whole point in the beginning was just a funnel false
00:09:28.700
information, get it to the FBI so that the media can then get that leaked and say, look,
00:09:40.700
This I mean, this is election interference is what this is.
00:09:43.800
I mean, they never intended, I don't think, to get an indictment on Donald Trump.
00:09:47.960
They just wanted public opinion to take it from there and to tank his campaign.
00:09:52.660
But again, I don't want you look at you have people involved, the bigwigs of the FBI, Hillary
00:09:59.340
All these these are the people that we should be looking at.
00:10:04.100
They were the ones directing it and facilitating it.
00:10:08.120
I mean, sure, he should go down with the rest of them if he's found guilty of funneling
00:10:18.840
You know, even with Hunter Biden, Hunter Biden, he'll go down.
00:10:31.180
Gee, who said this in 2008 when it all is said and done?
00:10:35.240
This administration, meaning the Clinton, Biden, Obama era, will go down as the most corrupt
00:10:48.840
And it is all of the things that they built at that time are all those chickens are now
00:10:56.080
And is anyone at the highest level going to pay?
00:11:02.140
I think most Americans, Republicans and Democrats, independents, we all want the same thing.
00:11:10.100
We all want the bad guys, legitimate bad guys to go to jail.
00:11:15.820
I don't care if they're Republicans or Democrats.
00:11:26.840
And I would have been there on the front lines with.
00:11:29.140
Remember when we started the impeachment thing?
00:11:42.940
That's not the way it's done in America anymore.
00:11:46.200
And that makes us just another awful, awful country that's run, you know, like a banana republic.
00:11:55.760
You talk about countries like Ukraine or whatever.
00:11:57.960
It seems like they have like a corruption officer at the airport.
00:12:01.080
And they'll just like kind of pull you into whatever scheme the moment you step off.
00:12:04.300
That's what it felt like when we were doing all that, you know, all that research on Ukraine.
00:12:08.480
Of course, you say that now and they'll call you a Putin stooge.
00:12:11.860
But pointing out the obvious, you know, now is is a crime.
00:12:22.620
I mean, we laugh when people like Putin get like 97 percent, you know, favorability rating,
00:12:36.180
We have to let a lawyer go down for the things that he's being told to do by the highest echelons
00:12:42.080
of government with the FBI, the Clinton family.
00:12:47.840
I mean, it's I highly at this point, it's sad to say I highly doubt anything even happens.
00:12:54.020
And I think we even call this out on one of our show where like the middlemen or the low
00:12:57.560
level people are going to be the ones that go down.
00:13:01.580
Democrats now are blocking the Republican efforts to upload Hunter Biden's laptop into a searchable
00:13:16.880
Apparently, Jerry Nadler has said, we don't have the technology to upload that into the congressional
00:13:30.160
And so so he wanted everything on paper so it could be scanned in.
00:13:36.060
But then that doesn't make it searchable, does it?
00:13:39.200
So they are now conferring with lawyers back and forth.
00:14:23.100
I was trying to think how long you and I have been friends.
00:14:30.300
So I want to talk to you, first of all, about this op-ed.
00:14:39.740
Well, it's written by just yet another infantile, secular Jewish neurotic.
00:14:48.220
You know, frankly, life's too short to waste time with that rubbish.
00:14:56.000
I mean, your first clue is that the New York Times published it.
00:15:03.340
I mean, honestly, this is a guy who has been shaking a defiant fist against God, you know,
00:15:17.320
You know, his aunts and uncles probably tried to shut him up all through his adolescence,
00:15:27.000
Would this have been printed 20 years ago, Rabbi?
00:15:35.980
So, there's always been this interesting phenomenon, which is when, you know, when, for the most part,
00:15:45.600
when Christians lose their faith or never accept their faith, then they're neutral.
00:15:50.660
You know, they really don't waste a lot of time and energy blasting Jesus.
00:15:58.080
But it's a weird thing about Jews, and probably one of the most valuable and credible validations
00:16:07.380
of the story of the Bible, the fact that Jews are so different from everybody else in this area.
00:16:12.940
When Jews abandon the faith of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, they don't become neutral.
00:16:18.000
They become rabid secularists and invariably join the ranks of radical socialism, almost always.
00:16:25.920
I was watching the Ten Commandments this weekend with the kids, and I noticed something that I had never noticed before.
00:16:32.460
By the way, did they play the opening of Cecil B. DeMille?
00:16:39.940
And I really kind of listened to it kind of for the first time.
00:16:43.640
I mean, I used to always watch it, but I never really listened to it.
00:16:47.940
And I stopped it there, and I told the kids, do you know that the first scene that they shot was Exodus?
00:16:58.060
He shot Exodus first, that big scene with all those extras.
00:17:02.320
He was sitting on a chair, and he reaches over to the assistant director and puts his hand on his arm and said,
00:17:08.400
I don't want you to react to what I'm about to tell you, but I'm having a heart attack.
00:17:14.220
And he looked at Cecil B. DeMille and went, wait, wait, what?
00:17:20.980
If we stop filming today, this film will never be made.
00:17:25.660
So I'm going to sit here and have my heart attack, and you're going to listen to what I say, and you're going to direct it.
00:17:34.360
And that night, they took him to the hospital, and he had a heart attack.
00:17:40.260
Something you may not know is that the prop of the actual Ten Commandments, he arranged to be carved out of rock from Sinai.
00:17:51.620
But we have the Ten Commandments from that movie.
00:18:14.200
Have you seen the video of the area in Saudi Arabia that's being protected by the king?
00:18:25.260
I'm quite sure that that is actually the real location.
00:18:28.940
If you haven't seen this online, you should watch it.
00:18:32.020
I can't remember the name of the terrific guy who did that whole thing and made the movie.
00:18:47.060
I think he has the geography and the timeline exactly right.
00:18:52.040
So, Rabbi, I wanted to ask you a couple of questions.
00:18:57.120
One, as I'm watching the Ten Commandments, it is so important.
00:19:01.740
And I noticed it for the first time that Cecil B. DeMille is saying, this is the beginning of freedom, the end of slavery.
00:19:15.480
Because that's not the way, I mean, it's more of a, I've always perceived it as more of a story of God than Ten Commandments.
00:19:28.620
In other words, we don't observe the SEDA just as a commemorative event of a historic event that took place 3,300 years ago.
00:19:37.920
It's actually, we play it as an annual, I don't want to use the word vaccination anymore.
00:19:45.860
So, I'm going to say an annual, how about if I say inoculation?
00:19:49.960
Against being subject to the voice of the powerful and the many.
00:19:58.440
And so, it could hardly be more applicable to our current time in the United States of America, where people's lives are being oppressed by wokeism and by radical leftism.
00:20:09.740
And the theme is this, Glenn, you know, in May 1954, something really significant happened, which is that, well, if you're into athletics, what happened is that for the very first time, the four-minute mile was broken.
00:20:24.480
Roger Bannister broke the tape at 3.59 and nobody had ever done it before.
00:20:29.580
But here's the funny thing, in the following year, about seven athletes broke the four-minute mile, and then every subsequent year to the present day, more and more and more athletes were.
00:20:40.400
To this day, you know, college athletes regularly break the four-minute mile.
00:20:45.780
Why is it that a year later, seven guys were able to do it, but prior to that, nobody had been able to do a four-minute mile?
00:20:55.440
He showed that it could be done, because up until then, doctors had said that people would die in a four-minute mile attempt.
00:21:03.220
It's not doable, because, you know, the experts always know best.
00:21:07.580
But Roger Bannister, a medical student himself, paid no attention to that and just calmly went ahead and ran a four-minute mile.
00:21:13.580
Now, the fact that something can be done is hugely important.
00:21:18.960
The deep human belief that something is impossible will absolutely tyrannize one and render one's efforts completely futile.
00:21:28.300
If you don't believe, and this is part of what athletics coaches do.
00:21:36.660
If you don't believe deep in your heart that what you're attempting to do is doable, you probably won't make it.
00:21:42.620
And your likelihood of success is vastly increased by the knowledge, conviction, belief that you will and can do it.
00:21:51.780
And so, up until that point, the concept that people can free themselves or be freed by God from a tyrannical set of circumstances is hugely important.
00:22:03.500
And perhaps in my lifetime, perhaps no more important than it is right now, where, you know, people are being oppressed by the United States government.
00:22:15.200
People are being oppressed by wokeism at colleges and in the university system, in the public school system, which I call government indoctrination camps.
00:22:27.620
You know, people, you know, there is a whole area of research, which, interestingly enough, Russian scientists have done some good work on,
00:22:36.300
that oil is not the result of decaying vegetable matter, but it's actually a chemical process that takes place under high temperature and pressure deep underground,
00:22:46.680
which suggests an explanation for why it is that many oil fields, like one in Louisiana, most notably,
00:22:53.140
that was declared to have a lifespan ending very soon, seems to have been reborn and the reserves have increased.
00:23:03.880
You're not allowed to say this, because it violates the whole doctrine of shortage and scarcity and people's lives.
00:23:13.220
There are scientists who have told me, I'll point you in the direction of some research, I'll give you some books,
00:23:19.800
but I will not publicly allow you to quote me as saying this, because I don't need my life destroyed.
00:23:28.300
You know, are we able to stand up to the tyrants?
00:23:34.420
You know, I don't blame anybody who says, look, I want to be able to continue feeding my family.
00:23:46.460
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:24:10.040
Yes, well, my friends, that started last night.
00:24:19.420
The sweat block wipes are applied at night and protect you from embarrassing or uncomfortable sweat for days.
00:24:27.720
Sweat block was developed by a Harvard doctor who was tired of, you know, getting up front of people with, you know, sweat tacos under his arms.
00:24:36.580
If you're like me, and you might not suffer from excessive sweating, but when the lights are on and I'm on stage, the underarm faucets kind of turn on once in a while.
00:24:44.820
It's a lifesaver for your pitch giving, hardworking, date going average people.
00:24:54.600
Anyway, if you have an awkward teenager, do him a favor.
00:25:09.200
They, they, they only have 15,000 employees to answer thousands of calls and, uh, wow.
00:25:17.640
I feel, I feel, you know, I feel really bad for them.
00:25:26.500
Who's sitting there just not able to get through all those times they need to harass the American people over the money they didn't earn.
00:25:35.900
And I've just overwhelmed that side of the feeling with the feeling of great charity and the work that I'm doing for this nation.
00:25:46.580
Because I have, I'm sure I have built countless turtle tunnels all over the country.
00:25:56.360
Even you, a man who's been taxed up like, like a probe from an alien.
00:26:05.640
You probably have still not paid for any full turtle tunnels because they probably cost a billion dollars a piece.
00:26:15.820
You know, every once in a while I think about that.
00:26:17.680
This is, this is the, this is the darkest, this is the darkest you'll get about your country.
00:26:21.840
You'll see some dumb program that cost $7.9 million on a turtle tunnel.
00:26:28.820
And you'll just be like, gosh, that's unbelievable.
00:26:30.160
And then I want you to stop and think about it.
00:26:33.400
Because if you're the average American, you, in your entire life,
00:26:39.420
all of the taxes you will ever pay will not even fund that one turtle tunnel.
00:26:47.200
Not even one turtle will cross underneath the road because of you.
00:26:52.240
All of those hours, all of those hours, all of those hours that you have worked, half the year for some people,
00:27:07.380
Not even one government waste project will you fund in your lifetime.
00:27:17.080
Think about how, think of the despair you should feel today.
00:27:21.740
Because, you know, it's not even, like, you're like, oh, well, you know, there's a lot of people who need things.
00:27:26.300
And the government does important things for important people, or for certain people.
00:27:29.520
It does a lot of important things for important people, too.
00:27:32.860
But, like, the basic idea that, okay, we're helping.
00:27:35.400
There's a, you know, there are people who cannot do it, and they need help.
00:27:39.780
There's an orphan somewhere who needs a meal, and, you know, somehow they've fallen through the cracks.
00:27:45.880
And we need, okay, let's just say that person exists.
00:27:50.400
Certainly some people are helped by government funds at some level.
00:27:54.640
But it's like, you know, so little of your money ever goes to anything like that.
00:28:01.900
If they turned it all off tomorrow, if they turned the income tax off tomorrow, we would go, have to go, we'd have to figure out how to go back and live like we did when we spent, like, the Barack Obama presidency.
00:28:17.240
Just the time from the beginning of Barack Obama to now is the entire income tax is how much we've increased the budget.
00:28:25.520
So you could turn it off, off, and we'd have to go back only to Barack Obama's spending levels.
00:28:37.440
And now we've come to a point in our political back and forth in which there is no other side to the argument.
00:28:43.960
There's only let's spend, you know, $3.5 trillion and let's spend $2.5 trillion.
00:28:51.260
When the Republicans get in control, they do the exact same thing as the Democrats, except maybe a little less spicy.
00:29:11.680
If tonight's Stew Does America sucks, you know why.
00:29:16.240
Instead, I had to work on my stupid taxes and not my actual taxes, Glenn.
00:29:21.780
I have to spend more time today, like I did all Easter weekend, on my extension to my taxes.
00:29:32.020
The people who I have to go and get forms from are not even able to turn them in.
00:29:40.380
So now I need an extension to send in my taxes so that they can hold on to my money for just a little longer.
00:29:48.220
And then maybe I'll be lucky and get a refund of my own money.
00:29:56.320
Because the money you gave them, you know, a year ago.
00:30:01.620
That's worth about 17 cents less on every dollar.
00:30:08.360
Yeah, taxes during inflation, it makes it even more fun.
00:30:11.860
Because everyone looks at this, like, I got a refund.
00:30:15.500
The government has given you a gift of a refund.
00:30:17.980
They've held your money hostage through a high inflation period.
00:30:24.500
And now they might give some of it back to you.
00:30:33.720
And they're not even going to give it back to you on time.
00:30:36.020
As they're saying now, they're delaying these quote-unquote refunds for months and months and months.
00:30:42.960
Because as you know, Glenn, they only have 15,000 people to harass everyone.
00:30:46.360
So, all the time that you could have had that money, even if you put it in the most basic account and get a couple of percent, you'd still be able to close the gap as to what they're going to give back to you.
00:31:02.100
Mark this show on the calendar because I think we're going to come back to it in a couple of years.
00:31:06.540
And we'll be like, look, we talked about it and everybody said it wouldn't happen.
00:31:11.480
Just imagine how much we're going to love it when we have a Fed coin.
00:31:16.200
And you won't have to worry about paying your taxes.
00:31:23.320
Because the Fed will be able to decide what's taxable and what's not.
00:31:32.020
And really, in the way of you're guilty until proven innocent.
00:31:36.800
Because there's got to be some way to go, no, wait a minute.
00:31:39.700
Part of that was, you know, a deduction for this, this, and this.
00:31:43.780
And then they'll have to look at that and go, well, I'm not sure.
00:31:55.460
I mean, the amount of work that I've put into this.
00:32:00.460
And I will admit, although the forms come in so late, there's no way.
00:32:04.560
You have to wait until all the stuff comes in to actually be able to do it, to go through everything.
00:32:09.840
It's, you know, some tax returns I've done in my life were pretty easy.
00:32:14.180
You know, and by the way, I should point out, I'm not doing it.
00:32:17.000
I'm just doing the preparation work so that the accountant can do it.
00:32:42.540
In my case, it ended up, it was either even or they owed me like $200, something like that.
00:32:56.860
If it's a question, if there's any doubt, let it fall that way, not my way.
00:33:03.540
Error in the government's favor because I don't want to freaking be harassed.
00:33:23.880
You could go to the IRS and they won't really even know.
00:33:29.940
Go look at some of the cryptocurrency tax forums on Reddit and all these.
00:33:36.340
And it's everyone just asking, like, what the hell are we supposed to do with this?
00:33:38.980
And people linking to article after article after article trying to explain how to treat
00:33:44.180
some complicated cryptocurrency transaction on your taxes.
00:33:49.560
It's like, you know, people look, I really hate taxes.
00:33:54.280
I really hate them, as you may be able to tell in this segment.
00:34:00.560
But I'm trying to be like, I, you know, when people are like, well, I don't want X, Y,
00:34:08.120
I just, you know, look, I want to follow the law.
00:34:10.460
I believe that following the law is an important thing that a civilization needs, even with laws
00:34:17.180
I think that I couldn't, I could not gauge America today anymore.
00:34:21.720
But I think when I was growing up and I still have this ethic, I don't mind paying taxes.
00:34:30.560
I do mind paying unfair taxes, but I still pay them.
00:34:43.300
And I think most Americans don't approach their taxes with anything other than, I just want
00:34:55.120
Just let me pay my fair share, whatever that is, even though it's probably not fair.
00:35:05.520
I don't think people necessarily are trying to evade their taxes.
00:35:08.720
They want to just get it done and get it right.
00:35:10.480
They prefer if the government did something of value with their money, which they never
00:35:18.720
Like there are roads I want to go faster than the speed limit.
00:35:21.660
And, you know, sometimes maybe I do a little bit, but generally speaking, you keep it in
00:35:25.380
line because, you know, we're a rule following society generally.
00:35:30.100
How did we get this system other than it has to be because the progressives did it?
00:35:35.340
How do we get the system in a country where you are innocent until proven guilty?
00:35:43.740
We are guilty until we bring this stuff to show we're innocent.
00:35:48.700
It's just a total reversal of everything the country stands for.
00:35:52.220
And, you know, remember the country, when it was founded, didn't have this.
00:35:56.460
They were, they specifically needed to pass a constitutional amendment to even allow this
00:36:11.820
They said it would never be for anyone that made less.
00:36:17.660
Then, like, it was an extraordinary number back then, like $100,000, which was like two
00:36:23.920
And they said it would be never more than five to seven percent.
00:36:37.720
And then as soon as one of the wars hit, was it the First World War?
00:36:54.500
You know, if you were newly rich, you know, you hit the non-existent lottery back then
00:37:00.460
and you had all that money, you wouldn't have the sophistication or the attorneys to be
00:37:10.220
But if you, you know, if you had the money and knew how to work the system, you didn't
00:37:17.960
Like, I mean, if you're mega, mega, ultra rich, you find ways to pay lower taxes.
00:37:27.240
I mean, you know, Donald Trump was amazing when he was accurate, when he said, yeah, I
00:37:41.800
Everybody, of course, is trying to pay as low a tax as they can.
00:37:48.080
And you know this because they put an ad, an address where you can give gifts to the U.S.
00:37:54.000
If you believe your tax burden is too low, you can give gifts to the U.S.
00:37:58.540
government to spend against their general fund in which they can pay for taxes.
00:38:06.080
I think they, I think there's like one or two, isn't there?
00:38:12.500
It shows that this idea that taxes should be higher is something they utilize to punish
00:38:29.500
I mean, he was asked about it in one of the debates.
00:38:31.400
It's like, hey, you keep saying taxes should be higher on the wealthy.
00:38:34.840
You're the wealthy and you don't give more than you, than you're supposed to.
00:38:39.240
Why don't you just implement this policy for yourself?
00:38:42.880
Because it's not the system that I would think that would really be able to handle.
