On Tuesday’s Mark Levin Show, a Republican congresswoman pushed for proxy voting for pregnant women, but the vast majority of Republicans don’t believe in proxy voting. Show up or don’t vote. 9 Republicans got upset and voted with Democrats, which canceled votes for the week. A tiny minority shouldn’t be able to derail President Trump’s priorities. We can’t have this constant blackmail. They have a budget bill to pass, and they need to get massive tax cuts in place. The key to economic growth in an environment like this is tax cuts - big, broad, tax cuts. It's the only way to either prevent or limit the life of a recession. The Democrats drove the economy into hyperinflation by printing paper. Tax cuts don't print anything, they actually create real, earned, tangible wealth. It’s money created by the private sector for the private sector, not the bloated, corrupt government and its fraudulent spending. Any Republican who slows or opposes huge across-the-board tax cuts is a fool. Pass the Trump tax cuts and do it as fast as possible! Also, Wisconsin and Florida have special elections today. Randy Fine wins in the 6th Congressional District in Florida. Jimmy Patronis wins in the 1st Congressional District in Florida. Those are 2 big wins for Florida and the country. If the liberal judge wins in Wisconsin, it will effectively become a one-party state. Later, China’s threats to Taiwan mean we should arm Taiwan with missiles to strike back, not just defend. Taiwan must be ready, learning from Ukraine and Israel, to hit the enemy effectively. Afterward, judicial tyranny continues - these judges are being used as weapons to threaten and stop President Trump. Trump and Elon Musk are doing the absolute best that they can to fix the country, and they are calling him a dictator. How is he a dictator? How many dictators reduce the amount of people who work for him? Finally, Dina and Dave McCormick call in to discuss their new book - Who Believed in You: How Purposeful Mentorship Changes the World.
