congressman kevin brady from texas. great to have you in focus. >> good to see you, take care. >> harris: "washington post" lashing out at the squad and other progressive now blaming them for stalling the president's tax and spend agenda. it comes as president joe biden's approval rating is falling like a lead balloon among multiple worsening crises. >> it's joe biden's fault and his terrible policies. joe biden will have to learn the hard way that if you try to run down a strong nation the american people will say we're not having it. as a dj, i know all about customization. that's why i love liberty mutual. they customize my car insurance, so i only pay for what i need. how about a throwback? ♪ liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty ♪ only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty ♪ kim is now demonstrating her congestion. save it slimeball. i've upgraded to mucinex. we still have 12 hours to australia. mucinex lasts 12 hours, so i'm good. now move! kim, no! mucinex lasts 3x longer for 12 hours.

mike: and from the other side of the aisle, kevin brady. congressman, welcome. >> good to see you, mike. thanks for having me. mike: what are your biggest concern with the democrats' partisan spending and tax package? >> yeah. i think much of what you heard just isn't accurate on the ground. so i think this dreadful jobs report is another thale in the coffin for moderate -- nail in the coffin. certainly, president biden is now a million jobs short of what he promised from his last $2 trillion giveaway. why would you trust him to create more jobs? ing secondly, small businesses, big businesses, manufacturing cannot find the jobs they need, the workers they need. and in the new tax and spend bill, it'll make it even harder because democrats are are proposing to pay people more to stay home than to go to work. really tough on families new report that an average family making $70,000 because of the biden inflation basically has to pay an extra utility bill or pay as if they're going to the grocery store additional times each month in inflation

brady. >> thank you for having me. >> the democrats insist the multitrillion dollar spending plan will cost 0. you understand the math? >> that is nonsense only in washington the claim will rank up if you like your health care plan you can keep it it is simply not true by any measure, this is trillions of spending, trillions of new welfare expansions, trillions and tax hikes and even with all of that they are hoping for a bunch of budget gimmicks, they are going to borrow a bunch of money to do it and bottom line this is very costly not just in dollars and cents but in u.s. jobs, tax increase on a small businesses and also ultimately on working families in the middle class. gerry: joe biden says it's popular to all these programs expanded healthcare, expanded education and all these giveaways why isn't free money being dished out from washington, why wouldn't that be popular. >> i think what people understand exactly what the impact will be we think losing 3 million u.s. jobs and driving many of them overseas will be hugely unpopular. when small businesses and their workers find out ho

kevin brady, thanks for joining us. quick check of wall street please because we are seeing a nice 300 point rally for the dow industrials and just as good, 150 point rally for the nasdaq. employees for john deere going on strike demanding better wages, better treatment, that is john deere. technical workers in hollywood are set to begin a strike next week. brian brimmer, why are strike popping up again? >> workers feel they are in strong position to get what they want and willing to test the scales on this. here's the next leg of the biden supply chain problem. this is why i'm not as optimistic as brian belsky. more workers will look at the situation especially john deere has some success and say let's try the strikes. what happens to supply chains been? now you've got another problem. stuart: is the supply chain problem inflationary? >> absolutely. you can't get product to shells, you get people who want the product bidding up prices, that's how definition of prices rise. it is all one piece. you don't solve supply ch

brady on this. watch. >> the irs has always wanted to get more information to close the tax gap, and privately they've always said we think is the farmers and the small businesses that are evading taxes they wanted to figure out how to do that, this is how they do it by capturing all this information from families, farmers and small businesses, a family making $900 a month would be triggered into the bank surveillance, they are not going after the wealthy and the big corporations they're going after families and farmers and small businesses. elizabeth: 900 and month is not a lot. they're talking about taxing those families making 30000 and up a year that's the joint committee and taxation. he's talking about being dragged into the little guy, what do you say. >> i think that's right if father talking about his taxi people making $400,000 or more for the large corporations that they talk about all the time then why is the threshold at $600, why is it so low they're bringing in money from small busine

to congressman kevin brady, the guy that made possible the big tax cuts we got under donald trump. congressman, when you are monitoring transactions as little as $600, you are not going after the bill gates and jeff pesos. you are looking at a much wider pool they are. >> you are absolutely right. four years, when the irs commissioner was truly independent you would meet with them a couple of times a year o the waves and means committee. they went through the gate what they always told you was we think they cheaters are farmers in small businesses, but we don't know how to get after the for eight this new bank surveillance scheme is not aime at the wealthy or the big corporations that are aimed at farmers, small businesses and families. they intend to track these tota transactions each year. they believe this is tied to raising the they think they can get from the bank surveillance and 80,000 new irs agents. they think this is how they can pay for several years or more o the repeal which is after that goes to millionaire households or bigger and so it seems ironi you would be track

i went to play something from a public and kevin brady from texas about what is going on at the border. here is his take. >> i have never seen it like this in my lifetime. every month you think it can't get worse. it does. the president continues to ignore this border crisis. but it's more than that. it affects the trafficking crisis, the drug crisis, it is a criminal gang crisis, states like ours pay the price. >> shannon: the message we get from the white house is the border is closed and that it is as safe and protected as i was under the previous administration. it is almost as if we can't acknowledge or have a conversation about the fact that there is trouble there. hearing from democrats and republicans down there saying we need help. >> the truth of the matter is the administration is living and a reality that most americans aren't. there is a crisis at the border. they refuse to acknowledge it. we have seen a surge in migrants. over a million folks have come since the beginning of this year. and not only that, we see to go different policies that relate to it certain kind of im

congressman kevin brady writing, if this were a football team with this losing record, the coach would be looking for a new job at this point. the president used the jobs numbers to make the case for his stalled infrastructure agenda just one of the many challenges facing the administration in the weeks to come with only a short term deal in place for the debt ceiling. all likely coming to a head in december. >> thank you. >>> even as former president trump repeats his lies about the last election. today he's taking his clearest step yet toward a possible 2024 presidential bid heading to iowa. it comes as president biden rejected an effort to who would documents from congressional investigators looking into the january 6th capitol attack. megan fitzgerald has the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. former president trump is fighting too to stop the release of documents that i administration's actions leading up to the attack on the capitol. meanwhile, he is due in iowa later today for a rally with potential eyes set on the white house. this morning a new show down over the

kevin brady. only 2000 more children in my district are benefiting -- and in your district, sir, that you're willing to vote against. for pre-k, there are 61,400 children in my district that are going to have an opportunity to go to school, to learn, in a healthy environment. and just maybe in communities like mine where parents are leaving before the sun comes up and do not come back home until long after these children get out of school. -- school will have an opportunity to end up in prison in many cases. host: if you want to see more of the hearing, taking a look at the various debates going on i and -- going on and framework, go to our website, c-span.org. this is mac in chicago, democrats line. caller: good morning. host: good morning. caller: i just want to say when you are on the show a while ago, and they were sitting telling lies or spewing stuff he was saying when president obama in office. no one stopped to these people from coming on your show or any other network. other people are go

first we want to go to congressman kevin brady who is a top republican on the house ways and means committee which has jurisdiction over many of the program that we're talking about like social security, medicare, unemployment, taxes. all of that. congressman brady, great to have you with us today. as you listen to that press briefing with us and you wait for the president to arrive on capitol hill, what do you think happens next? >> yeah, good to see you, martha. i think everyone knows what's going on here. the speaker has invited the president to try to join her in strong arming democrats in to accepting some version of that $3.5 trillion of tax hikes and spending. i predict he will fail. the infrastructure bill is being held hostage to that. if i were one of the few moderate democrats in the house, i'd be asking the president three things. one, if we're supposed to be taxing the wealthy and big corporations, why are we giving them so many tax breaks and hand-outs in this bill. secondly, why are we crippling small businesses with about five didn't tax hikes and thirdly, with inflation on t

my friend and ranking member, kevin brady, led the charge to stop this early on, but not a single democrat stood up for americans' financial privacy. mrs. fischbach: i yield an additional 15 seconds. ms. van duyne: first then reported and monitored and then controlled. we can't let democrats push us down this dangerous and slippery slope. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from minnesota reserves. the gentleman from massachusetts. mr. mcgovern: my god, can somebody, can somebody please disassociate yourself or condemn the statement by the former president who said today that the insurrection took place on november 3? all my colleagues were elected on november 3 as well. if you believe that that date -- that election day was an insurrection, then your election results are illegitimate. can somebody, please, for the sake of our democracy, say that what was said by the former president is wrong?. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from minnesota is recognized. mrs.fischbach: i yield two minutes to the representative from indiana. >> i rise in opposition to the previo

brady joins me now i find it just boring to talk about, congressman i don't think it's going to happen i think cooler heads always prevail, when push comes to shove, we have to deal with it what i think is more interesting or more important to talk about are both of these bills, the infrastructure bill and then whatever you want to call it, the spiritual infrastructure bill, the metaphysical, which is $5 trillion, not $3.5 trillion if we go down, they'll just shorten the term of the entitlements for a couple years, where they will be renewed, but they were unable to get it through. will anything change by the end of october have you noticed we'll do it by halloween, trick or treat? i don't think that's a coincidence, is it >> maybe not, joe. we have known this day was coming for two years, no discussions on how to pass it, but yeah, it will be done tomorrow secondly, look, i think this jobs report on friday didn't help democrats find consensus. the president's almost a million jobs short already of what he promised from his last $2 trillion covid package we are not seeing any progress

congressman kevin brady said this about the idea. we should not be punishing american businesses that suffer during the pandemic. another day another unproven confusing tax proposal from democrats to fund their special handouts to the wealthy. house democrats in the senate not convinced this billionaire tax, unrealized vein is not going to be able to be implemented to scoop up billions of tax revenue they are claiming will pay for this plan. stuart: me too. great report. let's bring in senator mike braun, republican from indiana. you are shaking your head just like me. this is a trick, the left knows they won't realize much money from billionaires but don't care. they want to get something on the books, get a deal done to keep it forever. are you with me? >> you and i should start the top 10 dumbest things you come up with here. that would be close to the top especially on top of what we've gone through. they put out 10 ways to raise revenues. we have record revenues. even more so in 2020. it is not a revenue issue, regardless of the

kevin brady, the ranking member on the ways and means committee. yesterday he said this. "this is more dreadful news for america's slowing recovery, for mainstreet businesses working to find workers and families. president biden is short from his last stimulus and has lost the confidence of the macon people to lead the economy. if this were a football team with this losing record, the coach would be searching for a new job at this point." rebecca in merced, california. caller: good morning. i believe the reason we are having problems is because we have varying degrees of ptsd. is there a vaccine for that? people are not lazy. people are sick. mentally and physically. america's mental health is in question. if we would calm down and get things together, we are opening the doors so wide for trump to walk right in, sit right down and let his hair hang down. we are going through some very serious times. i also believe we won't see any light until possibly 2024. we are in some -- we are in the modern dark ages. we are living through a dark age. i would like to try to encourage

kevin brady, only 2,000 more in my district are benefitting -- in your district, sir, that you're willing to vote against. for pre-k, there are 61,400 children in my district that are going to have an opportunity to go to school, to learn in a healthy environment. and just maybe in communities like mine where parents, you know, are leaving before the sun comes up and don't come back home until long after these children get out of school will have an opportunity to end that pipeline to prison, in many cases. so there's 140,000 or 77,000 families that would benefit from that. 52,300 kids under the age of 6 will have access to kindergarten. you know, does it matter if their parents think that they're above middle-class families because they make maybe $20 an hour, maybe $15 an hour? i don't think so. i think children deserve to have that. mr. brady, in your district, it's 65,700 children that will have access to preschool. i know it's been a long bill and you might not have that in front of you. mrs. mcmorris rodgers, you have 139,000 that have access to the child tax credit, and 48,600 chil
