andy puzder written a new op-ed.vid reminder of the party's flawed spend your way to prosperity model. the details are still vague. they are clear that taxes must be raised to pay for them but taxes paid by whom? will companies move taxes out of the country to avoid taxes leaving the middle class to pay the bill? joining me the man i am heavily, former cke restaurant ceo trump advisory board member, andy puzder. >> good to see you, david. david: government doesn't create wealth. government takes what other wealth creators made and redistributes it. somehow these democrats believe it is government that is the source of wealth. all they do is take what other people have made and spread it out a little, right? >> well, absolutely f you don't have economy where private sector businesses are growing, hiring, creating jobs, creating that competition for workers that causes wages to go up like we had before the pandemic, then you end up with a terrible economy that obama left for president trump. the last year i believe, gd

. >> reporter: andy puzder wrote an op ed. >> first of all, we need to help everybody who's been disadvantaged by the pandemic. the problem with the $600 bonus is that it was actually intended to discourage people from working. we didn't want people to get back into the economy. we wanted them to stay home, so we didn't overwhelm the medical system and see the disease spread. we're sort of through that phase now. >> we're still seeing cases rise in many places. what would you say to those folks who feel like they need that $600 weekly bonus and are afraid to go to work because they don't want to get sick. >> if you're afraid to go to work, if you're staying home and getting unemployment benefits, you should be fine. what we're talking about here is earning substantially more than you did before the pandemic forced staying home. >> reporter: that is one thing you keep saying, the $600 weekly bonus is a disincentive to work, that is dissuading people from going out and working. what evidence do you have to back that up? >> we have about 30 million people on unemployment insurance in the united s

we bring in trump campaign advisory, former ceo of cke restaurants, andy puzder and author of gettingamerica back to work. there's the book cover right there. andy, what do you think, do the $400 a week, ends up getting in the hands of americans' pockets makes a difference? >> it sure makes a difference. with the 600-dollar a week -- weekly federal bonus you had 70% of people receiving unemployment were getting more than when they were working. people will be generally be getting at least as much as they were getting when they worked and many will be getting more. leland: they definitely are in economic pain. comma i'm interested in, a lot of people who are still be getting more in their pocket to sit at home than they would at a job. washington post op-ed from earlier last month. it isn't complicated if you pay more people to stay home than to work, fewer people to work, that's understandable. taking a job becomes unaffordable. government check is welcomed during the crisis but poor substitute for dignity and encouraging millions of people to remain unemployed and depending on govern

david: we'll talk about that later in the show, with andy us puzder, whether they will advocate one with the party platform. at least governor cuomo seems to be aware that 50% of the tax revenue in new york comes from the 1% of the richest new yorkers. and it doesn't take many of them to leave before the state is in complete bankruptcy. doesn't the governor of california realize the same? >> not yet. remember, it is not just taxing them. if they don't start up businesses in your state they take those jobs with them and those people don't get to work and pay taxes in the state. so it is not just taxing, i know you know this, not just taxing the person with the money. it is stopping the person with the money from opening up jobs. in california they still don't have that message. remember, gavin newsom wants to be president in 2024. so he is still towing the far left line. david: will still be a blue state in terms of presidency voting for the president but a lot of cities and state around the country may change to red as a result of what is happening on our city streets. tom, thank you ver
