agree on here thank you so much for joining me marshall auerbach research associate me economics ed martin president philosophically illegal. so it's a take away well that it's complicated that taxes are the difference between whether your household scripts or saves or spends it if you are lucky enough to have income to be taxed our current president has proposed his philosophy for fixing the system with scant details just thus far but it's nothing we haven't heard before and no doubt we are about to see the sausage made in congress but that depends on whether we are willing to demand that all the dirty details come out we all say catch me if you can to the tax man but taxes provide for our roads our schools our safety how do our lawmakers fix a system that is broken because we tell them why it is broken and how it is broken and we tell them how we want to fix because at the end of the day they work for us so don't stop talking about let us know your thoughts send us a tweet or t. or shoot us your views via e-mail at boom bust your at r t america dot tv that's all for now check out the sho

ed martin, thank you very much. doctor, as always, appreciate it.entlemen, thank you for doing this civilly. the way we debate matters. alisyn? >>> how do president trump's supporters feel about the fight he's picking with the nfl? how about his slow response to the crisis in puerto rico? on monday i sat down with trump voters from florida, virginia, north carolina, and new york state for one of our signature panels in a very candid conversation. some of them say today they regret their vote for donald trump. and all of them, to a person, wish that president trump would stop attacking athletes who take a knee. here is our latest pulse of the people. show of hands. how many of you are feeling just as positively today about donald trump as you were on election day? two of you. how many of you are having some second thoughts or reservations or regret your vote? three of you. jordan, what was the moment that you started regretting your vote? >> a lot of it had to do with his choices for cabinet officials. i'm a high school teacher. his choice for the se

. >> let's discuss this with simone sanders and ed martin author of the conserve is active case for trumpsee both of you. simone, hard to know if tim scott's message was received by the president. what did you hear in his comments there? >> well, i actually agree with tim scott in that you can't expect, you know, donald trump's heart and/or mind or what he thinks about in general to overnight. he is who he is. i believe he repeated the comments about there being violence on many sides and talking about antifa protesters because that's what he really believes. >> that's true. there was violence on both sides. >> there was violence on both sides. one side was the white supremacist side, and the other side was tee tpa. only one side was yelling blood and soil. only one side believes in an ethnic khraepbtsing to remove everybody but white men from america. >> yeah. >> and that is the problem here. it seems as though he is continue to go equate antifa with white supremacists. that is not what he should be doing. >> the president, while he recognizes violence on both sides, he doesn't draw the

with me is former alderman and ed martin. are you surprised at the verdict of not guilty? for people just following, this was a shooting that took place in 2011. prosecutors brought charges. this person left the police force. prosecutors said there was new evidence that led them to bring charges. alga allegations of the officer planting a weapon, that he believed that the drive was carrying a gun. are you surprised by the verdict? >> given the history of these kind of cases and what the missouri law is right now, i'm not surprised by the verdict. i am disappointed, though. the prosecutors felt they had a strong case, especially given video evidence, the audio evidence, the dna evidence. so we were hopeful that the system would work this time. what you're seeing is people taking to the streets to voice their displeasure and feeling once again that the system is not working for average citizens. >> ed, this was captured on video are you surprised that police cams and -- do you believe it's going to lead to more convictions or vindications for police officers? >> i hoping cam

. >> joining me is former missouri gop chairman ed martin, and jennifer grant.oodman, does it make sense to you president trump will get out on the twitter machine and pump this thing early in the morning? >> of course not. the times of london this evening confirmed that in fact he had no knowledge of what was going on. he's engaged in this sort of trigger happy twittering that he does. he did the same thing in june, i think it was when there was the other attack. >> the fill piehilippines, turn out to be a robbery. >> and the previous terror attack in london. what i'm talking about right now is the trigger happy nature of it, how quickly he respond before getting the information, whether it ends up being a terror attack owner. he did this in paris, san bernadino, he did it in the philippines, did it here, twice. what theresa may didn't say, but certainly these intelligent services suggested was this was not helpful. it's not only not helpful but it's dangerous. what if they needed to keep information close about this person. he didn't have the information but n

we also have ed martin, who is the president of eagle foreign funds. a state g.o.p.the missouri republican party. also the author of the conservative case for trump. i'll start with you. what did you make of what you heard there? >> it's great rhetoric and if he actually followed through on that, i think that he could find a lot of bipartisan support. but what we've seen today as of this is actually a case that his political and doublespeak. he is saying that he wants to help the middle class, but the top priority when it comes to tax reform is slashing the corporate tax rate. the people that helps is not the middle class. if that helps the highest earners. so let me just to spell couple of myths here. >> let me start you right there because that is absolutely not true. it doesn't help the highest earners. when you lower the corporate tax rate, you are helping first of all, people who own stocks and their 401(k) and their retirement, you are creating jobs, you're creating middle-class jobs. let's let ed talk and then i'll come back to you. >> the thing that i love ab

we'll discuss that but first i want to get to ed martin, mike dyson, both books are on my desk, i haveead michaels i'll get to your's ed. the president is using the nfl controversy to drive a giant wedge in our country. he's playing to his base but what cost is that. >> his base is file and base. the fact is he could do us all a favor as a nation by galvanizing us but using his bully pulpit to bring us together. let me tell whou disrespects the flag, a man who stands up and lies daily a man who would get in bed with a person who has been seen as an enemy of the united states, shrevladimir put. a man who embraces neo-nazis as equal to people who oppose them. that is the subversion of the american anthems and flags. a flag is a piece of cloth unless it is backed up by the ideals and aspirations for which this country fought and has continued to bleed in order to realize the best for everybody. so when nfl players take a knee, they are not disrespecting a flag. they are not disrespecting an anthem. they instead are going down to make us rise up. to make us look at the ambitions we hold de

ruth martin from the washington supposed tweeted he thinks hitting women is funny. ed brings in this kid frank, 11 years old to mow the lawn. you have a former "new york times" reporter tweeting, there could be child labor law issues here. this sends a bad signal. what does this teach people of about the minimum wage. if barack obama invited a kid to mow the lawn they would say it was the greatest thing, he loves kid. howie: when bob mueller was appointed special counsel, he berated jeff sessions, called him an idiot, said he should resign, and he submitted a resignation that wasn't accepted. according to current and former officials. ed: sean spicer is out on this tour. there are people who are frustrated. bannon goes on 60 minutes. howie: leaks are still a problem. ed: bigger than leaks is is there anything there. you can drip drip on the mueller deal. but people close to him that i talked to believe by the end of the year they will have some sort of resolution that the president is not in the cross-hairs of this investigation. they may be wrong, but they are hopeful
