elections, # aei elections.e've already gotten questions and a number of them are along the lines that you've been talking and i will summarize them because there are many in the same area but they ask about whether you will have a transparent audit, whether sheets matched up with the accounting and questions about the chain of custody and so you're dressed part of that but maybe take on these questions more specifically and what to say about that in what to say about what you've done in relation to those questions? >> we have established the counties provided all the data points and we've established the chain of custody for every county in georgia, except three. there were three smaller counties and they represented about 3.0% of the total vote count and they will be sanctioned in the state election board for prosecution. the large counties to cold, all of the large metro counties established full chain of custody and given documentation and that's a powerful point people need to be aware of the. >> we ran thi

fbn had this piece linking to aei studies, that's iewble conservative think tank but also cbo and saidx rate correlated with a 0.5% decline in real wages. in 2007 cbo determined that workers pay more than 70% of the cost of corporate taxes. now, it's a tough pitch to make, charlie. but if you look at the past, that's what's happened. >> charlie: yeah, well, people are not in favor of taxing corporations if it means that they lose their jobs. that's going to be the problem here. in that clip you just played of alexandria ocasio-cortez is kind of an amazes one because the entitlement that she exhibits, the entitlement to other people's money that she exhibits in that is kind of extraordinary. >> bret: well, we will have a lot more to talk about with this and add up the votes on capitol hill when it happens. when we come back tomorrow's headlines tonight. ♪ ♪ how great is it that we get to tell everybody how liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need? i mean it... uh-oh, sorry... oh... what? i'm an emu! no, buddy! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty,

he's written a new piece for "national affairs," a journal that has an aei association. that piece just came out in the spring 2021 issue. it's entitled "the assault on trust in our elections." and i won't give it all away, but it does look of course at issues relating to the 2020 election and trust and belief in the election results but it also begins in 2018 with the election that i just discussed, with stacey abrams and brian kemp. in fact i think the one phrase that stuck out for me was that you felt a sense of deja vu when you were reliving the 2018 election, in a sense, in 2020. so tell us a little bit about your piece, why you wrote it, and why you're worried about trust in our elections. >> if you didn't live in georgia, you saw the results of what happened after the november 2020 election, and after president trump came up short in the election totals. you saw the election disinformation campaign. you would have thought that was a new strategy that people have come up with. but here in georgia we had seen this back in 2018. after stacey abrams lost the election

the attack on the state is repeated lies from joe abrams and stacy aey abrams to ensure security of electionst of the right of georgians to vote. you cannot have an inverted argument and blame those that are standing up for justice and in fact, that was nothing that my close friend stacy abrahm did or biden did. this is the activity of the legislative body of georgia and signed by the governor. honor our constitution. play the process in a way which everyone should be able to participate. we fight wars to ensure democracy abroad. we should fight here to ensure democracy is afforded to citizens of this country and state of georgia. >> governor kemp has over the past few days given examples of things in the bill he says are being purposefully ignored. for example, yesterday he said biden should look at georgia's voting rule side by side and kemp said georgia has no excuse absentee voting, delaware does not. kemp said georgia allows drop boxes limited, yes but delaware doesn't have them at all. they did have them in 2020 for the pandemic. unclear if that will continue. there is nothing in there.

institute i guess on the right, former treasury secretary larry summers on the left and opposed by the aei,, tax foundation, brooking manhattan institute of all reported on native aspects so i hope the biden administration will work with wilkins to get small businesses back on their feet so they can get americans back to work, ernie better wages to keep the economy moving in the right direction. will tax our way to prosperity, small businesses and other employees wish to operate under their applicable tax codes and they will do the rest. there are some good things we can discuss here, afforded to the middle class and small businesses to the tax cut and jobs act expiring in four short years. my republican. colleagues and i propose predictably to taxpayers by the current individual tax policies on a permanent basis including standard child tax credit and lower tax rates on middle class. this will help everyday americans. i look forward to the testimony and i call upon mr. -- you recognize for five minutes. >> are you referencing -- >> if i mispronounced something, i apologize. i didn't have

it's also opposed by the aei the tax foundation to brookings and the manhattan institute have all ripped order the negative aspect. i i hope the biden administration will work with republicans to get small businesses back on their feet so they can get americans back to work earning better wages to keep the economy moving in the right direction. we won't tax away prosperity but small businesses and other employers wish to operate in a fair and predictable tax code and they will do the rest. there is some things we should be discussing your taxes are put your taxes or a middle class and small businesses through the tax cut in jobs that expires in four short years. my republican colleagues and i proposed providing disability taxpayers by locking in an individual tax policy on a permanent basis including the expanded child tax credit and lower tax rates on the middle class. this will help everyday americans. i look forward to testimony and now i call upon mr. -- you are recognized for five minutes. >> i'm are you referencing -- if i mispronounce something i apologize but i didn't have my gla

they delay, they deny, they obfuscate, and each time the ie a -- i aei has visited these sites that areolation of the nuclear number 11 treaty -- nuclear nonproliferation treaty -- when it comes to terrorism and missiles, we expect or hope that they comply in the shadows of jcpoa and we just do not have any visibility. section t of jcpoa is where iran is able to develop the trigger systems and the actual delivery systems using our computer models. that is in violation of jcpoa. we can't verify whether or not they are actually doing that. we do not have access. the regime is still in the jcpoa, even though -- that it was going to retaliate. iranian -- iran needs the jcpoa more than the u.s. does. what i find troubling is that iran is treating -- cheating on the u.k. with impunity. there are no sanctions from europeans, there are no demands from the russians and the chinese for iran to comply. why is that the u.s. have to be the guarantor to make sure iran does not have to become a nuclear power? we are in this deal with -- we were in the steel with partners, and our partners are being ch

together recognizing this is an existential threat to conservative groups, to the heritage foundation, to aeigroups like focus on the family and family research council. it's time to actually do reasonable calls for their members to start pushing back against some of this stuff. one easy way to do it is to start pushing republican governors to stop giving special interest tax breaks to woke corporations. the woke corporations needs to understand if you are going to go woke, we will make did you go broke by taking away your tax incentives. brian: will they go to other blue states? is that a risk? >> it is. a lot of them are already in blue states now and these republicans are trying to lure them to their states by giving special interest tax breaks. the other thing conservatives need to do is remember what happened to target. when target decided to start letting men in women's bathrooms, conservatives, without any sort of organized boycott said we are going to stop shopping there it affected targets numbers and they had to rearrange the policy and put in union sex bathrooms. conservatives need
