TUCKER CARLSON (HOST):  We put a lot of calls out today, and very few Democratic lawmakers were interested in talking about this at all. The rare exception was Brad Sherman of California, the honorable exception, and he joins us tonight. Congressman, thanks for coming on.

REP. BRAD SHERMAN: Thank you. I’m here to talk about the tax bill.

CARLSON: The tax bill. Well unfortunately --

SHERMAN: I mean this is a job killing deficit exploding tax bill which is the real story, the real vote in congress.

CARLSON: Let me just cut you off.

SHERMAN: I know you can’t defend it.

CARLSON: Before you go, we don’t have a tax bill, we have no idea what the details are. I am deeply interested in this.

SHERMAN: We have the Trump proposed 12 page document.

CARLSON: We have literally nothing.

SHERMAN: We have a 12 page document which is pretty long as Trump’s –

CARLSON: And then it will get to the Senate and it will become something completely different. So I would love to debate that because I think it’s really interesting and we may not even disagree on parts of it. But I want to ask to you about the story that we have spent the last year talking about.

SHERMAN: You can’t defend the Trump tax proposal.

CARLSON: This is clever and I will have you on any day to talk about an actual tax bill but we have yet –

SHERMAN: No you won’t, I have been trying to get on your show to talk about economics again and again and again and you only have me on to talk about nonsense.
