1:25 am
represents 20% has tax liability over 60% of their income so this is a big deal. it is the breaking point for what you are paying the federal government. >> the second parties corporate tax 6.5%, current to 7.25% and when you look at new york city in particular wall street is one of the biggest sources of revenue, if you raise corporate tax rate, you have places wall street that have left the state in the last year because of the pandemic or plan to leave the state what is that going to do to the business aspect and economic aspect of new york as a whole? >> new york has had a great history of growth over the last 20 years led by global
1:26 am
corporations and their being taxed at the local land state level and the federal proposed pains of the stimulus for the infrastructure stimulus for corporate taxes so this is too high owners on the one hand and the corporate community and wall street on the other and the question is will they put up with this given the fact the governors of other states most aggressively florida, texas are calling every stay saying that we got a deal for you and your people and we've seen during the pandemic these industries kept the economy running remotely, tax revenues have been very good. our economy has been good but we have in the small sister lost 1 million jobs in new york state because people have been working remotely from all sorts of locations, not necessarily in
1:27 am
new york, will they come back to this? that's the question we're asking, will this raise revenue, unclear, we may lose revenue if taxpayers desert the state. >> that is a possibility. listen to what president biden had to say on this plan to raise corporate taxes. >> will a higher tax driveway corporations? >> not at all. there is no evidence of that. you have 51 or 52 corporations in the fortune 500, not a single penny of taxes. shannon: what do you think the president's statement on this? >> we all agree our tax code is imperfectly crafted and there are credits and opportunities to take advantage of loopholes in
1:28 am
the tax code and that's a good thing to reflect on but in terms of our corporate competitiveness our economy has done very well in corporate tax reduction and we've seen companies bringing jobs back to the us and that is what we want to achieve so that is the issue is what kind of balance do we get, can we raise taxes by closing loopholes? probably so but should we be restoring the very high taxes where new york-based corporations and us-based corporations were in competitive with those operations based in other countries around the world, the highest tax rates on corporations, we don't want that either. >> thank you for your insight, we appreciate it. have a good day. >> the us and iran hit vienna for nuclear talks. is this the first about the

in the article you talked about the body count disappearing. what do you mean by that? >> i was the trump administration human rights report issued by the state department documented that over 1500 iranian's were murdered by the iranian regime when they took to the streets to protest their government and the iranian regime took the unprecedented step of using live ammunition to mo down protesters. this is the human rights we issued last year and the biden administration state department decided to issue a new report where they number of iranian dead from 1500 to 300 and it is kind of appalling tactic by the us and the timing of this revision of the facts was just in time for talk taking place this morning to try to sell the
1:34 am
bill of goods to the american people to whitewash the human rights violations so the american people don't understand the nature of this regime that they are evil and committing the most vile human rights violations against their own citizens to remain in power. lawrence: this is a complex matter, no one knows it better than you. it seems the people want change in iran, i talked about their fear of what is going on but doesn't seem like there's any movement from those in power. >> the united states being the beacon of democracy, liberty and freedom we should be holding the iranian regime accountable for the human rights abuses and holding them accountable for the fact that they are the number
1:35 am
one state sponsor of terrorism in the world, they cause all the instability in the middle east, north africa region and in lebanon, hezbollah has a presence in latin america so the united states should be holding them accountable and for no reason should we be putting the iranian regime on the pathway to nuclear weapons. they have shown over and over and what they are doing, causing tremendous and stability just imagine what they are going to do once they have nuclear weapons. it makes no sense and is clearly against us interests to do that. lawrence: i know this is a historical question. are they going to violate the deal again? >> you are exactly right. the fact is you know the iranian regime cannot be trusted. they have proven over and over they have this religious urgency, they are not rational
1:36 am
actors and they have proven over and again what they do, they lie, they cheat, they steal and you figured it out. why can't president biden or anthony blinken figure out the iranian regime is not to be trusted and signing any kind of deal with them is not worth the paper is would to be signed on, the us right now has all the leverage, the trump administration maximum pressure campaign works. we have the iranian regime, they are weak, they are vulnerable. we have them where we want them, we have all the leverage. the united states does not need iran, they need us. we should be holding them accountable, no reason for us to give them access to nuclear weapons. lawrence: hopefully there's not more cash. jillian: x officer derek chauvin ignored his training when he put
