| 0:04.0 | Let's start with some really exciting news, and I'm probably the first place that you've actually |
| 0:09.6 | heard this information, which tells you just how much the media actually hates conservatives |
| 0:16.3 | and the values that we represent and the bills and the policies that we get passed. |
| 0:23.3 | Now, you would think that if you turned on the news, you would hear exactly what I'm about to tell you, |

| 1:45.6 | your money, which is exactly what the Democratic Party wants to do. Now, without the new law, |
| 1:50.7 | those taxpayers would have been hit with a, ready, a $5 trillion tax hike. Now let's just go back |
| 1:56.5 | to that number again. Without the new law, taxpayers would have been hit with a $5 trillion tax hike |
