Explaining Trump's Economic Plan
Guests: David Malpass
Speaking at the Detroit Economic Club today, Donald Trump announced his plan to jumpstart the nation's economy. Trump's Senior Economic Advisor, David Malpass, entered the No Spin Zone to explain all.
Bolling was impressed by Trump's specifics on tax reform, and Malpass affirmed that this portion of Trump's speech was particularly well-received by the crowd.
Pointing to the fact that corporations often avoid taxes by moving offshore, Malpass explained the reasoning behind Trump's proposal in this area: "If you have a lower rate, you're going to create more investment within the U.S. economy."

Responding to Trump's Economic Address
Guests:Eric Schoenberg
We spoke with Eric Schoenberg, who is part of the Patriotic Millionaires group which advocates for higher taxes on the wealthy in America and opposes Donald Trump's economic proposals.
Schoenberg, who is concerned about growing inequality in America, emphasized that we don't know what impact Trump's economic plans will have on the income taxes of Donald Trump because he won't release his returns. Bolling took him to task for focusing on the plan's impact on one person.
On the elimination of the estate tax, Schoenberg declared only two out of 1,000 Americans pay the estate tax, a figure Bolling doubted.

Trump Questions Hillary's Mental State
Guests: Mary Anne Marsh & Katie Pavlich
Donald Trump ramped up the attacks on Hillary Clinton this weekend and speculated on the state of her mental state. Is this a fair attack or over the line?
Mary Anne said Trump has decided to react to plummeting poll numbers by launching personal attacks against Clinton, but cautioned that the more negative he makes the campaign, the more trouble he will have wooing female voters.
Katie agreed that women will turn out in favor of Hillary in light of Trump's personal attacks against her.
Bolling defended the GOP nominee and said Hillary gets personal on the campaign trail too. Mary Anne predicted Trump will overplay his hand and get far too personal with his rhetoric "because he can't help himself."

Coming Around to Support Trump
Guests: Michael Graham
Trump is getting a boost from an unlikely source - George P. Bush, son of Jeb. This weekend, he told Texas Republicans that it's time to start rallying around the nominee.
The Weekly Standard writer asserted the divide in the Bush family is indicative of the divide among Americans about whether to vote for Trump.
Bolling countered that Hillary Clinton will fill the Supreme Court with liberals, and said if you want your kids to live with a liberal judicial branch forever, vote for Hillary.
Graham argued it is possible for democracy to offer people that are simply unacceptable, and categorized this election as a crook vs. a kook.
Bolling urged conservatives to consider that not voting for Donald Trump hands the election to Hillary Clinton.

How to Deal with Iran
Guests:Cliff May & Arash Aramesh
Iran announced this weekend that they executed a nuclear scientist who was the subject of emails on Hillary Clinton's private server.
Bolling asked if referencing the scientists in emails might have led to his death. Mr. Aramesh claimed it was completely irrelevant. According to Cliff May, while it was wrong and reckless for Hillary Clinton to have a personal server, it's pure speculation to suggest any emails she had on this server contributed to his execution.
Mr. Aramesh pointed to Wikileaks as the real entity putting people in danger, but Bolling argued having a private server leaves you open to the risk of hackers getting access.
Mr. May brought the conversation back to what he considered to be the most important point: this nuclear scientist was hanged because the Iranians believed that he gave information to the Americans, which makes it very unlikely Iran's nuclear program is peaceful.

How to Deal with the Iranian Regime
Guests: Barry Rosen
In the Iranian hostage crisis of 1979, Barry Rosen was one of 52 Americans held captive for 444 days by supporters of the Ayatollah. Now he's weighing in our current relationship with Iran.
Commenting on the Obama administration's payment of $400 million to Iran around the time four American hostages were released, Rosen affirmed that it seemed like a quid pro quo to him. Bolling concurred.
Rosen concluded, from personal experience, that the Iranians always win when we negotiate with them.
