Can t more time. yet this seems different. any information on that? no, mika, but the jail officials have made clear they run a 24/7 operation over there, i think it s matter of scheduling. they were open to doing it at any particular time, it s deeply significant that unlike any other booking we ve seen with donald trump it s very clear these guys are affording him no special breaks in terms of the mugshot, from all accounts they re going to take a mugshot. we ve seen so much the mugshots of the co-defendants, they re not flattering. remember in federal system, what the marshals did, they said he s the former president we don t need to take a mugshot. they spared him some of the indignities of the booking process. in this case, it doesn t appear that s going to happen. so he has no choice but to lean into it. by the way, you may have seen john eastman, co-defendant, one
Special privileges which is fine? you can make a case they shouldn t have these special breaks, etc., disney shouldn t. but to yank them away specifically tied to political speech or political actions that the ruling party doesn t like feels punitive. i m not sure that s a great precedent even if you are like enjoying how it feels and sort of sayings this is a good counter punch? dana: thanks for being here. we re waiting the hear from president biden. he is set to speak any moment. as an update he is going to give to the united states about the help that our country is going to give to ukraine including plans to send more weapons and a program to help ukrainian refugees. we re waiting to hear more about that. welcome to a new hour of america s newsroom. i m dana perino. bill: i m bill hemmer. we ll see when he comes out here. the issue in ukraine is significant. the united states and president biden, we are being committed
I said what kind of a man is this? reporter: barr was accused of trying to even protect the president s associates, like michael flynn and roger stone, who were both charged in connection with mueller s investigation. i agree, the president s friends don t deserve special breaks, but they also don t deserve to be treated more harshly than other people. reporter: former president trump repeatedly called for investigations into the officials connected to these probes. somebody has to get to the bottom of it. reporter: barr repeatedly tapped prosecutors to review issues of political significance to the president, including tasking u.s. attorney john durham to look at the origins of the russia probe. in may 2019, barr was unable to answer whether the president or any other white house officials had directed him to pursue investigations into specific individuals. attorney general barr, has the president or anyone at the white house ever asked or suggested that you open an
And both of those plans, we will see which one gets us to that goal. in addition we have been looking at the middle income which needs the greatest tax relief. if we look at those as our goal everything that drives us should be towards those goals. there are numbers that are different, if we want to do simplification we need [blooge that is a word you brought up. you read through these bills, there is an awful lot of special-interest pork. there are special deductions for microbreweries, $10 million for south korean tuna company in american samoa. there are special orange growers, special breaks for private check companies and people who own private jets put in by a senator from a state with a big private jet
To the wealthy at the expense of the middle class and elected someone who was accused of, right yeah, exactly. i mean, he s this bill helps does not help the people who donald trump who donald trump drew his greatest support from. but i think there s so much in here, you know, whether it s repealing tax breaks for graduate students or repealing tax breaks for people who have big medical expenses or taking away state and local tax deductions and so on, while you re giving away, you know, special breaks for people who have planes and huge billions of dollars of trillions over for the wealthy and corporate interests. to david s point, mark, is this careful what you ask or wish for concerning taxes and roy moore? i agree with david completely, because i was thinking about this as a former ad guy, which david is, as well. and i can see that the senators and the president is looking at
Support from. but i think there s so much in here, you know, whether it s repealing tax breaks for graduate students or repealing tax breaks for people who have big medical expenses or taking away state and local tax deductions and so on, while you re giving away, you know, special breaks for people who have planes and huge billions of dollars of trillions over for the wealthy and corporate interests. to david s point, mark, is this for republicans and the president careful what you ask for, concerning taxes and roy moore? i agree with david completely, because i was thinking about this as a former ad guy, which david is as well. and i can see that the senators and the president is looking at this very short-term lens, which is we just have to have a victory. and a lot of these guys may be facing primary opponents. and they just want to be able to get out there and say we ve done something. and they re going to end up defending a bad bill.
And while he is giving this huge bonanza to america s dine cities, he is killing the individual mandate, the underpinning of the affordable care act. why would he do that? because it allows him to cut a third of a trillion dollars in taxes from those at the very top. it helps give corporations a tax cut from a rate of 35% down to just 20%. democrats are unlikely to vote for this bill. republican senators are going to do it themselves. if your senator is one of those giving this bill the thumbs-up, be sure to remember that, and that he or she did it. a republican candidate for president once infamously mocked what he called the 47% who depend on the federal government for special breaks. presumably he meant those lower down on the income scale. but at least mitt romney was only talking out of school. donald trump is now giving the lion s share of these tax cuts to the top 1% right in your face. if you think this is a good idea, write your republican senator. tell him good work. keep it up. if you don t think this trump tower tax cut is such a good
Rate. look, i think doubling the holding period is very, very helpful here. chairman, heidi przybyla has a question. hi, chairman, being a recovering budget nerd, i kind of relapsed last night and reached out to some of my best budget sources. here s what i found. this economic growth that you all are promising, it cannot happen unless the cuts occur at the same time. in fact, the joint committee on taxations economic model assumes that the type of tax cuts you re doing now that are not paid for could actually be a drag on economic growth. can you please speak to that? yes. so the reason we moved back toward a balanced budget is one, there is substantial growth from this. but again, that won t do it. you have to do you have to simplify the code, eliminate special breaks on the business and individual sigh as well. it s the combination of both of those that gets you wac to a balanced budget over time.
