Senate Democrats' "Inflation Reduction Act" and corporate taxes dominate today's discussion...

Senate Democrats passed the Inflation Reduction Act, a new plan that aims to alleviate inflation. While estimates vary on how much it will actually reduce inflation, a key element will be its bolstering of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). As this happens, a new movement is growing to prevent the weaponization of the IRS. We also speak with Luke Coffee about his J6 arrest, and about his story. In this live Q&A with Crossroads host Joshua Philipp, we'll discuss these stories and others, and answer questions from the audience. ⭕️ Stay up-to-date with Josh with the Crossroads NEWSLETTER

Following an intense weekend-long ‘vote-a-rama', Senate Democrats passed the Inflation Reduction Act by a 51-50 vote on Sunday — with Vice President Harris breaking the party-line tie. The massive spending bill, which aims to put more than $400 billion towards climate change, prescription drug prices, and lowering inflation, has sparked concern in Republicans who fear that excess spending in the face of a recession could be devastating for the U.S. economy and American families. Iowa Republican Congresswoman Ashley Hinson joins the Rundown to discuss why hefty government spending is “an absolutely terrible idea' following the U.S. economy contracting for two consecutive quarters. She also shares how continued inflation is impacting Iowans and how she predicts Republicans will perform in the Midterms.   Despite growing talks of an impending recession following two consecutive quarters of economic growth and high inflation rates, the job market is still going strong. The July jobs report was released last week announcing the creation of 528,000 new jobs in the workforce coupled with the lowest unemployment rate in 50 years. FOX Business Correspondent Gerri Willis joins the Rundown to explain which industries are seeing growth and why, how the Fed will respond with its fight against inflation, and how shrinkflation is plaguing consumers across America.   Plus, commentary by Former Acting DHS Secretary and President of Wolf Global Advisors, Chad Wolf.

Democrats passed their marquee climate and spending package late yesterday, a victory for the Biden administration as it seeks to reinvigorate its domestic agenda. We look at what provisions didn’t make the final cut, including a proposal to close the so-called “carried-interest tax loophole.” A new study finds that children with friends of different income levels saw a notable reduction in poverty rates later in life. Also, new data on worker productivity is due out tomorrow, and it may show continued declines because of the pandemic.

You've probably heard Republicans say the Inflation Reduction Act, the massive spending bill just passed by Senate Democrats, includes provisions to hire 87,000 new IRS agents. The number seems too big to believe. The IRS has just 93,654 employees, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

New data is raising alarms about deaths in the United States in the COVID vaccine era and the highly questionable inoculation could be to blame for a spike in deaths among working age Americans. Plus, Senate Democrats sped through the Inflation Reduction Act bill, which is disastrous on all fronts but perhaps raises the most concerns with the IRS more than doubling in size with 87,000 new agents, an effort that is tucked into the bill.

20220808 - Real America's Voice - The Senate Democrats Want The IRS To Hound You Until You're Dead by Kevin McCullough Radio

Weekend Highlights. Senate Democrats pass $740 billion budget. Swimmer rescued from Saco River. Record high heat Sunday in Portland. Gas prices continue to decline. Beach to Beacon returns. Kim Kardashian & Pete Davidson split up. Khloe and Tristan welcome baby number 2. Drake, Lil Wayne, and Nicki Minaj reunite. Beyonce has the number 1 album. Kendrick performs for Jay-Z and Beyonce. Do you make new friends while you're on vacation or do you keep to yourself? Tara vs. Bobo.

In this episode, Alex starts by sharing some hioarious yet distrubing clips of some of the most cringe moments from CPAC Texas over the weekend. Then Alex goes over a new article in the Atlantic that is over 30,000 words and discusses new revelations about the Trump Administration's child separation policies on the southern border. The article is called  An American Catastrophe by Caitlin Dickerson and through hundreds of interviews with Trump officials, she finds that these cruel policies were intentional and meant as scare tactics. Later, Alex discusses how the cap price on insulin was removed from the Inflation Reduction Act. In a vote of 57-43, the Senate Democrats could not get enough Republicans over the 60 vote threshold to avoid the filibuster. Finally, Alex discusses the Forward Party and whether it would work as a third party.

*) Ceasefire takes effect between Israel, Palestinian group An Egyptian-brokered ceasefire in Gaza between Israel and the Palestinian group Islamic Jihad has taken effect late on Sunday. The ceasefire agreement came after three days of Israeli air strikes on Gaza. The attacks left at least 44 Palestinians, including 15 children dead and over 360 others injured, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. Egyptian state news agency MENA reported that Egypt was exerting efforts to release Palestinian prisoners Khalil Awawdeh and Bassam al Saadi. *) Senate Democrats pass $740B 'Inflation Reduction Act' package in US The US Senate has passed a sweeping $430 billion bill intended to fight climate change, lower drug prices and raise some corporate taxes. Amid Republican efforts to derail the package, the Senate approved the legislation known as the Inflation Reduction Act by a 51-50 party line vote. Vice President Kamala Harris cast the tie-breaking ballot. That is a major victory for President Joe Biden that Democrats hope will aid their chances of keeping control of Congress in this year's elections. *) Gustavo Petro sworn in as Colombia's first leftist president Gustavo Petro has taken the oath of office as Colombia's first-ever leftist president. He was sworn in before a crowd of hundreds of thousands of people in Bogota. Petro takes over from the deeply unpopular Ivan Duque for a four-year term during which he will enjoy support from a left-leaning majority in Congress. *) Any attack on a nuclear plant in Ukraine 'suicidal' — UN Any attack on a nuclear plant is "suicidal", United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres has warned. His statement comes after fresh reports suggested shelling hit a huge atomic power complex in southern Ukraine. The fighting on Friday at the plant has prompted the UN's nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency to warn of "the very real risk of a nuclear disaster". Guterres said "any attack to a nuclear plant is a suicidal thing,” adding that he hopes the “attacks will end." And finally… *) UK museum agrees to return looted Benin Bronzes to Nigeria A London museum has agreed to return a collection of Benin Bronzes looted in the late 19th century from what is now Nigeria. The decision comes after Nigeria's National Commission for Museums and Monuments formally asked for the artefacts to be returned earlier this year. Since then, cultural institutions throughout Britain have come under pressure to repatriate artefacts acquired during the colonial era.

Senate Democrats have passed the Inflation Reduction Act with a 51-50 vote, Vice President Kamala Harris cast the tie-breaking vote.  Democrats say the bill will combat climate change, reduce health care costs, reduce the deficit, and raise taxes on big corporations.  The bill now moves on to the House before it hits Biden's desk, but the bill also delivers another big win for the president.  Despite some wins however polls still show that Americans are worried about the economy and Biden's approvals remain low.  Julia Manchester, national political reporter at The Hill, joins us for what to know.   Next, some streaming stars are learning the hard way what the price of online fame can be.  Stars on the video game streaming platform Twitch invite viewers into their homes to hangout, interact with fans and they can gain big followings pretty quickly, but they also have to deal with stalkers and harassment.  While it's not new that celebrities have had to deal with these difficulties from fans, the intimacy that the streaming relationship allows for just amps it up.  Kellen Browning, tech reporter at the NY Times, joins us for how content creators and streamers are now hoping that platforms put a greater emphasis on personal security.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This past week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made a stop in Taiwan during her trip to Asia, a controversial move both domestically and abroad. While there were Democrats and Republicans alike who applauded Speaker Pelosi for standing up for Taiwan's independence and democracy, China viewed the move as a strike against their sovereignty and "One China" policy. FOX News Senior Foreign Affairs Correspondent Greg Palkot explains the military and diplomatic consequences of the trip, and why there was so much pushback from the White House. He also provides an in-depth look at the Chinese Military exercises being launched in response to Speaker Pelosi's visit.   Senate Democrats, led by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senator Joe Manchin, announced the Inflation Reduction Act last week—a package consisting of climate change, healthcare, drug pricing, and tax measures. The bill will impose new taxes on the vast majority of Americans, but there is confusion as to whether the measure violates President Biden's pledge to not raise taxes on households with annual incomes under $400,000. Many claim the bill will not remedy high inflation plaguing the country but will instead worsen it. Senior Policy Analyst on Tax Policy at the Heritage Foundation Preston Brashers joins the Rundown to break down how the Democrats' spending package and economy-wide taxes will affect inflation rates across the board from consumer prices to employee wages.

With the looming passage of the poorly-named Inflation Reduction Act, Senate Democrats are proving that the well-being of the nation's citizens comes in second to bullying through even a few of their radically fascist agenda.Hundreds of economists signed a letter to members of the Senate, pointing out that the measures they are voting on will hurt the economy and, therefore, hurt the American people.But the "nudge-science" that the radical Left employs in kneeling at the altars of power sees them ignoring the American people to serve their globalist masters...RELATED LINK(S):https://www.realclearmarkets.com/articles/2022/08/01/inflation_reduction_act_wont_fix_inflation_will_hurt_the_economy_845351.htmlSign-up for our mostly daily mail out here:https://www.undergroundusa.comSupport Underground USA (BTC)https://commerce.coinbase.com/checkout/7b2d8c35-55b9-49ed-9918-f7cc6f2a488dSupport Underground USA (USD)https://checkout.square.site/merchant/SW8KGEWAS2A22/checkout/SXG24XFCOWMROX3D5IN42TB2Convention of Stateshttp://ConventionOfStates.com/?ref=69171

What's Inside A Sudden, Second Chance At A Climate Bill Last week, climate activists received a surprise gift from Democratic Senators Chuck Schumer and Joe Manchin. It turns out they had been in secret negotiations to put out a spending package that might tackle some of the same climate mitigation projects as last year's failed Build Back Better initiative. The $369 billion dollars for climate mitigation in the Inflation Reduction Act covers tax credits for renewable energy, methane leak reduction, and the largest environmental justice investment in history. But will it pass before Congress goes on recess? Ira talks to University of California-Santa Barbara political scientist Leah Stokes, who helped advise Senate Democrats during the bill's crafting, about what the bill might do, and some of the politics shaping climate action.   Engineering and Infrastructure In A Collapsing Climate Roads buckling. Power grids flickering. Roads washing out and basements flooding. Climate change brings new hazards for both human health and the infrastructure that keeps our communities functioning. So how do we build for the conditions that are coming–and in many ways already here? Arizona State University engineer Mikhail Chester talks to Ira about the physical alterations we'll need and, perhaps more importantly, the way the process of building must change too. Plus why building things to fail—but with less deadly consequences—may be necessary in an uncertain future.   A Teen Inventor Builds A Fingerprint Scanner for Gender Equity The World Bank estimates that around one billion people worldwide don't have official proof of identity. Without legal identity verification, opening bank accounts, voting, and even buying a cell phone is challenging or even impossible. This issue disproportionately affects women—around half the women in low-income countries do not have proof of identity, which limits their independence and the resources they are able to access. Looking for a solution, 16-year-old Elizabeth Nyamwange invented Etana—an affordable fingerprint scanner that could provide women with a form of digital identity. Her project to close the gender identification gap earned her first place in HP's Girls Save the World challenge. Ira speaks with Nyamwange, based in Byron, Illinois, about her innovation.   Remembering Nichelle Nichols, Star Trek's Pioneering Lieutenant Uhura Actress Nichelle Nichols died this week at the age of 89. She was known to people throughout the galaxy for her role as Lieutenant Nyota Uhura, the communications officer on the Starship Enterprise. Her casting as a Black woman in a highly skilled, technical position on a major television program in 1966 was crucial representation—and helped many viewers see science and technology careers as something within their grasp as well. When Nichols considered leaving Star Trek to return to Broadway, a meeting with “her biggest fan”—the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr—helped convince her to stay on to contribute to the civil rights movement. Later, Nichols became an ambassador for NASA, working to help recruit people to the space shuttle program, especially women and minorities. In this remembrance, astronaut Leland Melvin helps tell her story, and Tarika Barrett, CEO of the STEM organization Girls Who Code, talks about the importance of role models and representation. Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Senate Democrats are one step closer to passing a sweeping tax, climate change, and health care bill now that Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema voiced her support.

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) said she would soon be ready to “move forward” on a revised version of Senate Democrats' health care, climate and deficit-reduction package, after party leaders agreed to scale back some of their original tax proposals. The new approach — along with other changes to the proposal known as the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 — satisfied Sinema's chief concerns and helped set in motion a plan to approve it as soon as this weekend. In a statement, Sinema said Democrats had “agreed to remove” a key tax targeting wealthy investors. She also suggested they had made additional, unspecified changes to a second provision that aims to impose a new minimum tax on corporations that currently pay nothing to the U.S. government. From here, Sinema said she would await a final review from the chamber's parliamentarian — a critical step in the process that allows Democrats to move their spending bill — at which point she would “move forward.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

House and Senate Democrats introduced a bill last week that aims to bring back net neutrality. The Barack Obama administration originally put the rules in place to prohibit internet providers from selectively favoring, blocking or slowing content on the internet. The Donald Trump administration rolled those rules back, arguing that the Federal Communications Commission didn’t have the power to enforce them.

House and Senate Democrats introduced a bill last week that aims to bring back net neutrality. The Barack Obama administration originally put the rules in place to prohibit internet providers from selectively favoring, blocking or slowing content on the internet.

Climate and energy projects could see $370 billion in fresh funding thanks to a bill proposed by Senate Democrats. It’s called the Inflation Reduction Act, and it would also revise the tax code and reduce drug prices. In a surprise turn, it appears to have been developed with the support of Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, potentially paving the way for the bill to pass. Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino speaks with Jay Koh, managing director at the Lightsmith Group, a private-equity firm that invests in climate technology.
