12/20/17-Mark Levin Audio Rewind

Ben Shapiro, Editor-in-Chief of the Daily Wire, fills in for Mark. Today was a great day because tax reform has become the law of the land. The Democrats are losing their minds saying the tax bill is going to kill people. Nancy Pelosi said the Republican tax bill would have killed Tiny Tim yet she can't find any actual victims. Chuck Schumer is saying that tax breaks don’t lead to wealth creation just more money for CEO's and the very wealthy. This is the standard line of the Democrats. This notion that Democrats are the great altruistic helpers stealing money and giving it to others is false. In addition, virtually everyone is getting a tax cut. The biggest move is the corporate taxes are dropping dramatically. A bunch of companies are going to take the money back and use that money to give employees raises and create new jobs. The individual mandate, saying you had to buy healthcare by law, is now gone. This was a very good move, as removing the mandate supports lower rates in the insurance market. Giving people back money to spend on their own terms is better than giving it to a government that wastes it. Later, there are Always Trumpers, Sometimes Trumpers and Never Trumpers. Now, never Trumpers like David Frum are criticizing, Sometimes Trumpers, those who call balls and strikes for Trump as making excuses for him. They forget their own positions and dislike President Trump so much they think he is a grave threat to the Republic. Frum is saying if you defend Trump you are perverting conservatism. That is false, as if you are not defending Trump for doing conservative things you are not defending conservatism. Finally, there is no evidence of Russian collusion. However, people still believe that Trump is in Russia’s back pocket. The Trump administration has approved the sale of lethal weapons to the Ukraine. Why would Trump do this if he was colluding with Russia? If there was collusion, it was done by members of the Obama administration who were working with Russia to make sure Iran got whatever they needed up until the Iran Deal.
