good to you have on here, grover. >> good to be with you.avid: let me play the sound bite they think turned everything around in the mind of market traders about what the president is doing with regard to trade through larry kudlow. play the sound bite. >> part of the process sheer the united states is going to the world trade organization, and i also would -- i'd be very surprised if we didn't have huge backing. i call it trade coalition of the willing. i think other nations around the world are going to join the usa, not only in tariff complaints, but also in wto complaints. david: so what larry did there, grover, i think is change the discussion from the u.s. against the world on trade, to the world against china. it's not just the u.s. that china has been working against in terms of stealing our intellectual property, reverse engineering, all that stuff. they do the same thing to the rest of the world, so now what larry has essentially done going to the wto means that we're working with the world against china. it's a very different scen

we have grover nor quit and antwan sea wright. will remind control room to pull graphics we saw earlier. it will illustrate the point. i will go to you first, grover. >> sure. trish: can we get this done? mitch mcconnell is looking towards another round of tax cuts for individual making them permanent. when does it happen, do we need it to happen? >> i was talking with speaker paul ryan the other day. they're looking around june, july. there is not a fixed date. two things. people need to focus on how much their taxes were cut which means how much their pay was increased, how much the take-home pay increased. 90% americans have lower taxes today than they did four-months ago when we were under obama's tax plan. now that we have the republican tax reform, 90% of americans have lower taxes being taken out, less money being taken out of their pay but not everybody sees that because a lot of people have direct deposit. we need to have people focus on what's in their paycheck and what is taken out of their paycheck. and when we have th

americans for tax reform grover norquist is here. good to see youyou know you don't like like tax on anyone. what is your concern here? >> okay. what is happening his, historically the supreme court has said that alabama can not tax businesses in new york. you have to have nexus, that if a company has a store in your state, you can tax it. but if they simply sell things in your state online, or this is a big fight in the '50s and '60s, on catalog sales. they wanted to tax l.l. bean in all 50 states even though l.l. bean only operates out of maine. so the challenge is politicians love taxes where alabama can tax l.l. bean. l.l. bean is in maine. nobody in maine votes for or against the governor of alabama. and so the idea of looting people in other states and businesses there is taxing people who can't vote against you? this is a great idea for politicians. lousy idea for taxpayers, yeah. trish: let me ask you a question though. if i say bought furniture in florida from a furniture store that doesn't have an outlet here in new york, a

screaming, where is my brian: the question i have for you, given grover cleveland's life, he married1-year-old when he was in the white house, and then this story, what would have been the coverage of that today and how does that relate to what we are seeing daily in the news? lillian: sure. grover cleveland was really one of the first presidents or candidates to have that type of salacious, sexual scandal kind of a march on the campaign trail. emerge on the campaign trail. we see it with a number of candidates as we move through history. way news ise disseminated today and the speed with which it travels has made scandals like that or rumors like that blow up in much bigger ways for candidates today. in cleveland's time, voters knew about it, but is sort of depended on where you were in the country, how much you are hearing about it, how much the local paper decided to focus on it. i think like today, the thing that really threatened his candidacy about it as michelle pointed out, was the hypocrisy. and this idea that the image he was presenting of himself and the platform he was ru

brian: this is about grover cleveland's illegitimate child.begin audio clip] >> there is a minister in buffalo who tells a local newspaper that cleveland fathered an illegitimate child. >> the story had a lot of potentially sordid elements to it, and the reverend embellished what was already there and made it a huge scandal. of course, here is this person known for his incorruptibility and trustworthiness, and now he is confronted with the scandal being presented as an ethical lapse. >> the news starts to spread through more papers across the country and seems to be swaying voters. there is a famous editorial cartoon that comes out with a baby screaming, where is my pa? [end audio clip] brian: i think there is more to that, it says "gone to the white house, ha ha ha!" the question i have for you, given grover cleveland's life, he married a 21-year-old when he was in the white house, and then this story, what would have been the coverage of that today and how does that relate to what we are seeing daily in the news? lillian: sure. grover clevel

right, grover, they went up one day because they said he's not actually going to do it.'t know if this is exactly why, but they certainly gave the impression that they didn't like people saying he wasn't going to do what he said he was going to do, so he said, then i'll do another billion. tariffs were his last straw. the tariffs, if you look at the market, grover, and you look at the impact on individuals that could happen in some of these states seem to be taking away the benefits of the corporate tax cut which you so ardently fought for. >> sure. when we cut taxes, the president reduced individual taxes. we've seen a stronger tax with the reality of lower taxes. but tariffs are a form of taxes. they're just taxes at the border. and all taxes hurt economic growth. so it's not a good idea to do them. i understand the president's position. he is trying to force a negotiation with china, he's trying to get their attention. $100 billion would get anybody's attention. my sincere hope is that this is the prelude to a negotiation to going to the wto and trying to open up chin

his son went to grovers. he did not really want to go, they wanted to see grant. people stalling can often they want to see grant. lincoln did see john wilkes booth on multiple occasions. i mention the marble hardware booth played a young sculptor. booth numeral lincoln and lincoln knew exactly who was was. they never talk, they never spoke, but when they would pass on the street lincoln would smile and nod. it is interesting that he knew exactly who he was. lincoln's young son went to see booth perform, this is an interesting story. the marble heart is a kids play. the acting is very emotional, there is a spooky, dark stage and you are talking to ghostly faces, you jump up and to row your close on the floor, you tear things and turn over a desk and at every kid sits there and enjoys that play wonderfully. ted wanted to meet john wilkes manager toe stage them back. they met him in his dressing room. booth smiled very sweet to them and gave them flowers. people handed booth some flowers and booth gave some to thad and his friends. according to the friend who left t

grover, i quoted real estate sales in manhattan way, way down.getting hit in new jersey. am i exaggerating? that i think these high-taxed states are going to get killed? >> you're not exaggerating. the price they are selling for also dropped dramatically on the very high-end condos and apartments. we, we, the american taxpayer have been subsidizing big government in expensive and corrupt cities and incompetent states and the problem is when those states would spend and spend and raise taxes on higher income people, they would allow them to deduct that, those tax payments to new jersey, new york city, chicago, l.a., and deduct them and the rest of the country ended up making up those tax deductions which were skewed to people, rich people, living in blue states and blue cities incompetently or corruptly led and have tremendous overspending. we've ended the subsidy for corruption and incompetence. and governors and mayors who thought, nobody-minded if i was corrupt or incompetent or spent too much because they didn't pay full fare, now they are. so

you see it and i'm kind of excited i don't know if anything will come from it i hope of well but of grover excited i'm seeing some of those elected officials are actually starting to go to the pharmaceutical companies wow i didn't think i would see that there was they don't feel like that last the main these are ones are at it obviously the senators are ones who weren't you know they're not the ones getting six figure checks from big pharma and a lot of that has to do with lobbying i mean it's the reason you bring up the price of the drug on a retail market is so that you can get as much as you can out of medicare medicaid and federal and state local drug programs where tax payer dollars will subsidize the cost of medication. a lot of that has to do with if they raise the drug on this side it means they can sort of built more out of where they make the most of their money which is there if they can raise that it could be a little bit more expensive in their biggest market but folks are fighting back though that's there's a state there's definitely states that already have they have laws in

considered the top ten of our four 44 president, 4 because trump is the 45th president, but grover cleveland was both the 22nd and 24th president. so there have been 44 men who held the office. george w. bush is hard to say what his legacy will be but it's going to take us i think at least that long for parks to receipt around his presidency -- for passions to recede around his presidency. >> i asked that question about 43 of the father of a good friend in midland, texas, who had known 43 very well. they lived near each other in midland and he also known lyndon johnson pretty well. i said, judge, how would you compare the two? he said the picture of lyndon johnson where we has -- the man by the -- that was lyndon johnson and there was a force field around him. and he you would promise anything to get out of the force fold and with george w. bush when he announce -- when george h.w. bush who said he was running for offers, we said we all have to get involved to make sure this good man does not get hurt and and he said that is another form of power. >> i think that's right. the hallmarks of th

next year ron grover just a touch but still holding up ok this year.gence started to get bigger and the market is worrying about? luke: that is the perfect chart to show. warned boeing not to say high watermark on the call. a bespoke investing group put out one great note. one of the other hallmarks of this earnings season has been this ridiculous head fake, they report, they go up a half percent on average, but then when the move is done, the move from top to bottom is nearly a full percent. twitterseeing this in this morning. in terms of looking at the fundamentals, showing that they still remain solid -- capital one reported this morning, morgan stanley says credit trends look strong. in autos, i'll be looking to see if the u.s. consumer is holding up, how much of a hangover from the holiday season? david: coming back to earnings, is in the level of earnings or the slope of the curve? we have had a nice ramp up because of tax cuts. we are not expecting another round of tax cuts next year. is the market being smart and saying, what have you done for

i have a letter here that was written by grover norquist, the president of americans for tax reform. and in summary, it says this. because the davis-bacon act reduces the number of jobs, increases costs and has a racist history, funds from the f.a.a. re-authorization act should not be used to fulfill davis-bacon act requirements. americans for tax reform therefore strongly support congressman king's amendment. and that's one version of description of this bill. here's another that i thought was a little bit more dedescriptive. this is an article written by george will and it's dated june 19, 2017. he references back to river city and he says, a quote from that, the music man, you really ought to give iowa a try, provided you are contrary. and he starts out this article this way and the quote is from iowa stubborn, the song in "the music man." it says contrary does not cover king's stricken generalsy. he was born appropriately in storm lake, iowa, and carries turbulence with him. he also carries experience of actual life before policies or excuse me, actual life before politics, when

grover norquist follows the flow of benefits from tax cuts, and here's what we have. utility bills because utilities passed along their lower profits tax rates to their own customers. 90% of workers have seen bigger paychecks because their individual tax rates have been cut. four million and counting have received a bonus from their employer. that was a direct pass-through of lower corporate tax rates. 500 companies and counting have offered those bonuses, and that's just big companies. remember, please, the promise of tax cuts and growth set up a big stock market rally, and that has helped the 55 million americans with a 401(k) and the tens of millions with an ira. they have seen a very nice pop for their retirement funds. as we go through the year, the news about bonuses and paychecks is being pushed onto the back burner. we seem to be more interested in scandal than prosperity. this is unfortunate, because to most people the economy is job one, and it's a job the president is handling rather well. two news items to back that up. first, the jobs numbers. they've bee

levine, and we have grover norquist, the president for americans for tax or four. the shell, let's start with you. most americans support legalization. why is it not yet legal? ms. minton: it comes down to incentive. when you are asked if you support drug legalization, over 50% will say yes for it comes to recreational, 80% says when it comes to medical. few of them are willing to go to a representative saying i will not vote to you if you do not legalized marijuana. there are a small minority of people in the republican side who have a lot of money who will say i will not fund you if you support marijuana legalization. it is easier for politicians to keep their heads down, but my -- at least. court 50 people in the house who have already voted for some kind of marijuana innovation built. there are another 25 or so who have voted in a way that makes them think should some kind of bill,, they would be likely to vote for, and there are an unknown number of people who are quietly pro marijuana. there are a lot of rep. higgins: who say they believe in states -- republi

grover's town national theater and ford's theater. it's possible lincoln would have gone to grovers, but he went to fort. .- went to ford's his son went to ford's. like you implied, he didn't really want to go, but the word was out that he was coming. people wanted to see general grant. people saw lincoln all the time, but they wanted to see grant. see john wilkes booth perform on at least one occasion, i think multiple. once at the marble heart where booth played a young sculptor. new lincoln, and lincoln knew exactly who booth was. they never talked or spoke, but when they passed on the street, lincoln would smile and nod at him. it is interesting lincoln knew exactly who he was. now lincoln's young son went to see booth perform at the marble heart. thad was excited. it was a kid display in a way. , youcting was emotional run around and fall dead, jump up, terrifying's and turn over a and turnear things over a desk. thad wanted to go back and meet john wilkes booth. so the stage manager took them back, he and his young friend. this

funded several dark money groups during the 2012 election cycle, including conservative activist, grover norquist's americans for tax reform, the koch brothers' americans for prosperity, a conservative political advocacy group, and the partnership for ohio's future, an antiunion organization backed by the ohio chamber of commerce. the only reason we know that reynolds was the secret source is because it was disclosed at the behest of an unnamed shareholder. otherwise, these donations and the involvement of tobacco companies would have remained a secret. whether they are quietly funding attack ads or the release of supposedly unbiased reports, corporations and wealthy donors are using anonymous dark money contributions to influence america's public, casting doubt on legitimate science, trying to sway elections without ever revealing true identities and motivations. it's not just limited to big tobacco and their campaigns to turn public opinion against tobacco taxes and smoke-free laws. the koch brothers have built on this model and expanded the big tobacco playbook. they are pushing fault
