Pete Sepp of the National Taxpayers Union joins us to explain some of the details of the President’s new Tax Plan. The broad overview individual and corporate tax reform. Pres. Trump would like to simpify the tax codes. Pete answers some questions that the Political Roundtable has for him. This is a two part segment.
FBI cites black extremists as new domestic terrorist threat. Surprise…surprise! Ray, David and Debi debate the difference between how Italian, Irish black came to America. Then how the Black Lives Matters group is based on a false narrative. Mike Brown Jr. was shot and killed by former police officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri. He was shot after not following the officer’s commands and then attacking him. Mike Brown was stealing and destroying a store, then came out and and when stopped by the officer, he attacked the officer while he was still in his car. The “hands up” never happened.
Ray brings up that as of Jan. 1, 2018, it’ll no longer be a felony in California to knowingly expose partners to HIV. Ray questions the judgment of Gov. Jerry Brown who signed legislature on Friday that lowers the former felony to a misdemeanor. Before this legislature, failure to disclose their HIV status to sexual partners could have been punished with up to eight years in prison and now is that has been lowered to a maximum of six months behind bars.do This now includes donating HIV-infected blood from a felony to a misdemeanor.
Ray starts the day with the story of the story out of Detroit. Detroit’s Fire Commissioner Eric Jones confirmed that probationary firefighter, Robert Pattison, was terminated for work behavior deemed “offensive and racially insensitive”. When asked if Pattison deserved to lose his job over the watermelon, Second Battalion Chief Shawn McCarty said he wasn’t sure. “Between what he did and losing his job, there were a few things that could have been done,” McCarty said.
