1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,280 Speaker 1: Richard Arnold, very good morning to you, Good morning mine, JD. 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:05,160 Speaker 2: Required and we're back to the House. 3 00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,879 Speaker 1: Yeah. So that's the headline of what a process. This is 4 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,959 Speaker 1: politics as usual as subnew combo of cronies and bribes 5 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 1: and threats. Trump a short time ago muscled his tax 6 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,439 Speaker 1: bill through the Senate. He squeaked it. The vote was 7 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: party line, fifty to fifty. Then, as you indicate, JD. 8 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 1: Vance device, President came in to cast a tie break 9 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 1: and push this along. So it goes back to the 10 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 1: lower House. No Democrat voted for the Trump measure, which 11 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: is expected to add, as we've noted, five point four 12 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: or five trillion dollars. Heill international dead on top of 13 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: the prison fifty nine point two trillion dollar debt if 14 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: we're lock into place earlier Trump tax cuts, but most 15 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: of those tax benefits will go to the wealthiest as well. 16 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: There is two hundred and eighty seven billion dollars for 17 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 1: immigration enforcement. There was an alert today that ICE immigration 18 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: agents in marks have been spotted in my own suburb. 19 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: They're showing up at schools and restaurants and car washers 20 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,319 Speaker 1: and strawberry fields where they were chasing work. The other 21 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: day across the farms. One man, a doctor, is quoted 22 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 1: today saying he has had to drive his own kids 23 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: through sports practice because then nanny would not leave the house. 24 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: He says, quote it's like Ann Frank or something, referring, 25 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: of course, to the young Jewish girl who was in 26 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: hiding during World War II before being caught and dying 27 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: in Auschwitz. Anyway, the big losers from the Trump bill 28 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: are poor people who need food stamps money for food, 29 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 1: and poor people who need health care coverage Medicaid. Trump said, 30 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 1: re Medicaid. Here's what I want on Medicaid. 31 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,119 Speaker 2: We're not touching anything. 32 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: Well, that was a lie. The bill's Medicaid restrictions are 33 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: expected to lead to the loss of healthcare coverage for 34 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: around eleven point eight million Americans over time. Republican Senator 35 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: Josh Harley said he was really worried about health care 36 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: in his state of Missouri, then he voted for this 37 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: thing anyway. Republican Senator Tom tillis who's at wealth so 38 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: notas said to be around eighteen million dollars in New Zealand, 39 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: so his food supply and health insurance are probably going 40 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,559 Speaker 1: to be okay. Tiller said he would not vote for 41 00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: the bill. Why do I. 42 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 2: Tell sex hundred and six thousand people and two years 43 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 2: or three years when President Trump breaks his promise by 44 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 2: pushing them off of medication. 45 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: So Trump said if Tilla supposed him, he Trump would 46 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: back someone else to replace him in the Senate. Take that. Well, 47 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: Tillis then said he wasn't going to run for reelection anyway. 48 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: So you take that, mister president, shows again that the 49 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: only Congress people these days with any guts of those 50 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,359 Speaker 1: with big savings accounts who can't stand the game anymore anyway. 51 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 1: So Trump could not afford to lose more than three votes. 52 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: He lost three. And on the fence was Alaska Senator 53 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: Lisa mckowski, and she was bought off. They kind to 54 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: deal with her late in the game. So food stamps 55 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: still will be available in Alaska, but not in most 56 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: other states without extensive paperwork requirements. So she's fine with 57 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: that cutout for her own. If the rest of the 58 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: country has a tougher time, so be it. Then there's 59 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: the return of Elon Musk. Yeah, haven't heard from him 60 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,399 Speaker 1: for a few days. Well's richest man says, if it's 61 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: the quote last thing he does on this Earth, he 62 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: will put some of his megabucks in to defeating any 63 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: of those who voted for the Trump bill. Elon says 64 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: he also will form his own political party, the America Party, 65 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: But Trump says Mask is only peeved because he doesn't 66 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 1: get cash for his electric vehicles under the bill, writes 67 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: the President, quote Elon may get more subsidy than any 68 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: human being in history by far. And without subsidies, Elon 69 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: would probably have to close up shop and head back 70 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: home to South Africa. Trump continues, quote no more rocket launchers, 71 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: satellites or electric car production. Perhaps, says the President, we 72 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 1: should have Doze, of course Elon's creation to take a 73 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: good look at this. Then it all perhaps big Buddy 74 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: to be saved. So the bromance Mike seems to be 75 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: in trouble. Maybe a bit of couple's therapy needed. 76 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 2: This Idaho thing, is this a plea deal? 77 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: It is, and it's a plea bill that's not making 78 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: everybody happy, you know, including some of the family members 79 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: of the four students who were stabbed to death in 80 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: this stabbing rampage in Idaho. This is the case of 81 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: Brian Coburger, whose mass murder trial was about to begin soon. 82 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: But now it's all been said, as some prosecutors have 83 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: made this a go. It was a killer who has 84 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: said he will plead guilty to the murders in court 85 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: tomorrow in order to avoid the death penalty. That means 86 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: execution off the table, and also there will be no 87 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: chance for the family to find out details of what 88 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: happened to their loved ones. One of the victim's families 89 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 1: that gone Salvi's family is very unhappy with this arrangement 90 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 1: and says they weren't even told till this was actually announced. 91 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: They failed me, they failed my whole family. Yeah. Now 92 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: the member of that family is calling the prosecutors' actions 93 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: shocking and cruel. So there's a lot of anger over 94 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 1: what has been done in this case. Mike, whatever people's 95 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: opinions are about capital all right, I appreciate it very much. 96 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: For more from the Mic Asking Breakfast, listen live to 97 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: news talks it'd be from six am weekdays, or follow 98 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: the podcast on iHeartRadio.
