KERNEN: What you hear is tariffs are a tax on US companies, and when you tax something you get less of it. How do you dispute that? NAVARRO: As soon as you add that third party -- foreign countries -- it becomes not a tax but a form of leverage and a beautiful thing

Ron Johnson: "Tariffs are a tax. When you tax something, you get less of it, so we'll probably get fewer imports, but then with retaliation, fewer experts. Smoot-Hawley was not particularly successful and helped sparked the Depression, so I share the markets' concern."

When you tax something, you get less of it. If you don’t want businesses to expand, tax the hell out of them. If you don’t want people to work, take their money. That’s why it’s so important that we passed the One Big Beautiful Bill and blocked a $4.3 trillion tax hike.

BLUMENTHAL: Suspending the gas tax ought to be combined with a big oil windfall profits tax. As you well know, big oil is raking in bonanza profits. Shell just announced a $7b profit last quarter. Would you support that? CHRIS WRIGHT: Ah. The oil and gas industry has had a rough couple decades.

Just out of a meeting with The British Retail Consortium. Tax something and you get less of it. No wonder Labour’s Jobs Tax has now seen unemployment spike to its highest level since the pandemic. Time to get on top of spending and bring taxes down.

WATCH: Secretary of Energy Chris Wright NUKES CNN for pushing a narrative that renewables were cheaper than oil and gas: “The Lazard report, of course, is crazy, because they use a thing called ‘Levelized Cost of Energy,’ as if they're delivering the same thing. …When you include the backup cost, it's a huge driver of increased cost. … You make energy expensive. People consume less of it, and your industries will leave, and your voters will be angry.”

If we don't act, and Democrats get their way, there will be a $2.6 trillion tax increase on families making less than $400,000 a year and a $600 billion tax increase on small businesses. This is about ensuring that Americans have more in their family budget.
