Kevin McCarthy: AOC is the leader of the Democratic Party

AINSLEY: WELL THE DEMOCRATS ARE TAKING AIM AT YOUR WALLET LOOK AT THAT. WHEN YOU SEE IT BY PROPOSING THESE STEEP TAX HIKES TO PAY FOR JOE BIDEN'S $3.5 TRILLION SPENDING PACKAGE. PETE: THEIR PLAN RAISES TAXES ON CORPORATIONS AND HIGH EARNING INDIVIDUALS, AND A THEME THAT CONGRESSWOMAN OCASIO-CORTEZ, SUM MED UP WITH HER "TAX THE RICH " GOWN AT LAST NIGHT'S S WANKY GALA. BRIAN: HERE TO REACT HOUSE MINORITY LEADER KEVIN MCCARTHY. WHY WEREN'T YOU THERE? >> WASN'T INVITED I DON'T KNOW. BRIAN: $35,000. WHO PAYS THAT, OUT OF HER POCKET >> I'M NOT SURE AS A MEMBER OF CONGRESS HOW YOU CAN LEGALLY GO THERE. YOU CAN'T ACCEPT A TICKET SO I'M NOT SURE HOW THAT WORKS. AINSLEY: COULD SHE USE HER CAMPAIGN FUNDS TO PAY FOR THAT TICKET? >> IF IT WAS A FUNDRAISER BUT YOU HAVE TO USE PERSONAL MONEY. AINSLEY: IT HAS TO BE A FUNDRAISER FOR HER. >> SO I DON'T KNOW, BUT WHAT IT REALLY TELLS US SHE'S THE LEADER OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND THINK ABOUT IT SHE DOESN'T CALL HERSELF A DEMOCRAT SHE CALLS HERSELF A SOCIALIST DEMOCRAT. YOU PUT UP 3.5 TRILLION YOU REALLY SHOULD PUT UP 5 TRILLION BECAUSE THAT'S HOW MUCH THEY WANT TO SPEND AND WHEN YOU LOOK WHAT THEY'RE DOING THEY ARE TRANSFORMING AMERICA, WHAT A TAX IS IS TAKING MONEY OUT OF EVERY AMERICANS POCKET AND REDIRECTING IT TO WHERE YOU THINK IT'S IMPORTANT SO NOW IF YOU MAKE $800,000 THEY ARE GOING TO GIVE YOU A TAX INCENTIVE TO BUY A TESLA AND YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE? TAKEAWAY AND GIVE INCOME FOR EVERYBODY GUARANTEED 90% OF AMERICANS, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? THERE'S NO REQUIREMENT TO WORK. THERE'S NO REQUIREMENT THAT YOUR CHILD WHO GETS A TAX CREDIT IS EVEN AN AMERICAN BECAUSE THERE'S NO SOCIAL SECURITY REQUIREMENT THEY ARE TAKING THAT AWAY AND THEY ARE REALLY GOING TO HARM AMERICAN BUSINESSES BECAUSE WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO IS GIVE AN INCENTIVE FOR AMERICAN BUSINESSES TO MOVE TO OTHER COUNTRIES. BRIAN: BY RAISING THE CORPORATE TAX RATE. >> THE GLOBAL MINIMUM TAX RATE. THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE IT AS A DISADVANTAGE TO BE IN AMERICA AND SELL THAT PRODUCT. AINSLEY: THAT'S WHY THIS MID-TERM ELECTION IS SO IMPORTANT. >> OH, NOT JUST THAT. IT'S CRIME IN YOUR STREETS, IT'S THE BORDER, IT'S INFLATION. IT'S WHETHER YOU REALLY CARE. THINK ABOUT PRESIDENT BIDEN. HE CARES MORE ABOUT TRYING TO RESCUE GAVIN NEWSOM THAN RETURNING AMERICANS FROM AFGHANISTAN. WHY ISN'T HE SPENDING ALL THIS TIME ON THAT? BRIAN: ON THE BORDER. >> WHAT IS THEIR GOAL BETWEEN THE TAX PLAN AND THE RECONCILIATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE. WHAT ARE DEMOCRATS HOPING TO ACCOMPLISH? >> IT'S A TRANSFORMATION OF AMERICA, TO BECOME MORE OF A SOCIALIST EUROPEAN-TYPE COUNTRY, THAT THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE GOVERNMENT DECIDING ALMOST EVERYTHING IN YOUR LIFE AND TAKE HOW YOU CAN SPEND YOUR MONEY AND IT'S THE WOKISM, RIGHT? BECAUSE WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO IN THE TAX INCENTIVE IS PUNISH YOU IF YOU WANT TO BE ENERGY INDEPENDENT IN AMERICA BUT ASK OPEC TO PRODUCE MORE AND PROVIDE IT TO THE ONLY THE INDUSTRIES THAT CARE, SO WHAT THEY DO IN THIS TAX BILL AS WELL, THEY GIVE YOU AN INCENTIVE. I HAVE NO DISAGREEMENT WITH THE UNION BUT THEY LET YOU DEDUCT WHATEVER YOU PAY FOR THE UNION DUES BECAUSE THEY WANT MORE COMPANIES TO BE UNION. I THINK UNIONS PROVIDE GREATER SERVICE TO THEIR UNION MEMBERS IF THEY HAVE TO WORK FOR IT. PROVIDE THE SERVICE AND WHY I SHOULD PAY THAT UNION. BRIAN: LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THE PRINCIPLES THEY ARE GOING TO PUT IN THE TOP RATE DROPPED TO 37 UNDER TRUMP. THAT'S GOING TO GO UP TO 39.6 RAISE THE TOP CORPORATE TAX RATE TALKING ABOUT GOING UP UP TO 26.5 ABOVE CHINA A AND NOW FROM 21% AND ALSO A TAX ON PEOPLE WHO MAKEOVER $5 MILLION SO SOME OF THE WAYS WE'RE GOING TO PAY FOR IT AS WELL AS TAKE THE OTHER AREA IN WHICH -- >> THE BIGGEST -- >> TO RAISE TAXES TOBACCO AND ALSO THROUGHING TO BRING THE SALT TAX BACK WHERE YOU CAN DEDUCT FROM YOUR STATE TAX ON YOUR TAX RETURNS. >> BECAUSE THEY WANT TO GIVE AN INCENTIVE TO LIBERAL STATES TO RAISE HIGHER TAXES IN THEIR OWN STATE, AND HAVE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PAY FOR IT. SO IF YOU LIVE IN A STATE THAT DOESN'T HAVE THAT, YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR CALIFORNIA'S TAX. REMEMBER WHAT WE JUST DID IN 2017? WE LOWERED THE TAX RATE AND LET PEOPLE KEEP AND DETERMINE HOW THEY SPENT THEIR MONEY. WE GOT THE STRONGEST ECONOMY IN THE HISTORY OF AMERICA. WE HAD UNEMPLOYMENT AT THE LOWEST NUMBERS AND DIDN'T JUST REACH ONE ELEMENT OF AMERICA. IT DIDN'T MATTER THE COLOR OF YOUR SKIN, YOU HAD AN ABILITY TO WORK. NOW, WE'RE WATCHING THAT THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE THIS MONDAY OUT OF THE ECONOMY, WHO WINS THIS TAX PLAN? CHINA WINS IN THIS TAX PLAN. BRIAN: UP TO JOE MANCHIN TO STOP IT, KRYSTEN SINEMA? >> IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THEM BECAUSE ALL TAX REFORM STARTS IN THE HOUSE ONLY FOUR DEMOCRATS HAVE TO SAY THIS IS WRONG FOR AMERICA, AND STOP IT. AINSLEY: WHAT DO YOU EXPECT IN CALIFORNIA TODAY, YOUR STATE? >> YOU KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE INTERESTING, BECAUSE HERE WE ARE IN CALIFORNIA. DEMOCRATS OUT NUMBER REPUBLICANS 2-1 BUT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO REALLY WATCH WHAT TURNS OUT TODAY. IF REPUBLICANS ARE INDEPENDENTS ARE VOTING TO REMOVE GAVIN NEWSOM BECAUSE THINK ABOUT IT IF YOU TRAVEL CALIFORNIA THERE'S HOMELESSNESS IN EVERY PLACE OF IT. CRIME RISING. THERE'S NOT ONE NATIONAL PARK IN CALIFORNIA OPEN, BECAUSE IT'S MISMANAGEMENT THAT COMES EVERY SINGLE YEAR, AND YOU WANT TO REWARD THAT? HE'S BEEN IN SACRAMENTO FOR MORE THAN A DECADE AND HE HAS NO PLAN TO TURN IT AROUND. ALL HE DOES IS BRING IN ELIZABETH WARREN, JOE BIDEN, AND OTHERS TO SAY KEEP ME OTHERWISE THE REPUBLICAN WILL WIN. THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE THE COURSE. IF WE HAVE A DEFICIT GOING INTO ELECTION DAY, OF 1 MILLION OR LESS, THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY THAT WE COULD BE SUCCESSFUL HERE , BUT, YOU KNOW, GAVIN NEWSOM HAS ALL THE MONEY, WE JUST HAVE THE ISSUES ON OUR SIDE JUST GETTING IT TO A RECALL IS A PRETTY BIG VICTORY IN ITSELF. BRIAN: CONSEQUENTIAL SEPTEMBER IN THE ELECTION GREAT TO SEE YOU ON THE COUCH. AINSLEY: YEAH. >> I'M TOLD I'M THE FIRST GUEST TO GET BACK ON THE COUCH. AINSLEY: YOU ARE. >> FOX & FRIENDS IS BACK! BRIAN: ABSOLUTELY IT'S OFFICIAL NEXT TIME YOU'RE BACK YOU'LL BE
