democrats than republicans, despite the fact that 38% of their members vote republican, or at least did in the last election. yes, very interesting, but i think these stats are very important. as we say, 1984 is the last time anybody had a margin as good as president trump did over hillary clinton and over mitt romney. the jobs we spoke about early. 5.5 million jobs have been created since he took office. what s important, 500,000 of those jobs were manufacturing jobs. so he s overperforming in manufacturing jobs. david: in states like ohio and pennsylvania, michigan, have a lot of them. the states across the midwest and a lot of people across this country view him as someone who is fighting for the forgotten man and woman, for the forgotten worker. for long, long time democrats and republicans forgot about these people and people don t feel they were fighting for them as president trump has. david: kat. there s a question of medicare
joseph who played role in getting this started and i hope that takes place but there are a lot of questions that need to get out in the public, we had a look at ui lot a lot of this information and never got declassified. bill barr has the authority to declassify not only do you docus from the department of justice but the fbi as well. david: the possibility is that the u.s. intelligence forces were used for political purposes, that is whether it was the fisa courts, whether it it s using individuals on the payroll of intelligence agencies, whether, in fact, the cia and the fbi were actually working together in order to subvert political campaign, that s really at the core of most people s concern, i think. absolutely right. and both human intelligence, people approaching people like george papadopoulos and carter page as well as the fisa warrant which not only issued but
what kind? you said middle class. that to me sounds like payroll tax cuts. no, i don t want to get into a lot of detail on that bus i don t want to get ahead of the curve, but highly unlikely we ll go to some sort of the idea of some short-term payroll tax cut fix, it doesn t work, it never works. it has no lasting impact. we re looking at incentives. we re looking at lower look, the personal tax rates could easily be lowered and probably, the brackets could be shrunk. that s a thought. small businesses, for example, could easily benefit from additional tax reform. for example, you know, llc s might even benefit we might even kind of work through a way to help our friends in some of the states who are concerned about the shrinkage of the tax deductions
trey gowdy started 2 years ago. david: congressman, the biggest question in my mind how high it was, was it just rogue actors like peter strzok and andy mccabe who were going with their political instincts rather than the good interest of justice or did it go higher than that, were there people at the top or after all this started during the obama administration, was anybody at the top levels of government involved in this? well, i think that the inspector general may answer that question. there s already significant evidence that it extended outside of the department of justice to intelligence gathering organizations, a lot of questions i know that john durham wants to interview a multiprofessor with russian ties but also western ties with
brew as they move across atlantic, this one right here and just at 5 minutes ago the national hurricane center called this one tropical depression number 5, so i think they ll be some development into tropical storm from this storm, most model guidance pull this northern area of the caribbean here, not really strong storm, but bringing a lot of rain potentially towards puerto rico which is not necessarily good news right there. but probably not as significant storm and then likely dissipating in the area. that said a long time to track the storm across the atlantic and we have the next 5 to 6 weeks, david, the bulk of tropical activity is and right on track we are starting to see things pick up across the atlantic. david: as long as they have numbers and not names i feel comfortable. good to see you, rick, thank you very much. coming up president trump s top economic adviser larry kudlow telling me that tax cuts 2.0 could be coming soon. and iran is firing off new
