1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Stateside. Richard Land, very, good morning, good morning. You might 2 00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 1: now this big beautiful bill five short, five Republicans bailed. 3 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 2: So what happens now? 4 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,400 Speaker 1: Well, and I go. This is Trump facing some pretty 5 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,239 Speaker 1: strong headwinds after his return from the Middle East celebrations 6 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: on his key legislative plan revolved by this handful of 7 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 1: members of his own party blocked the advancement out of committee, 8 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 1: a cause for locking into place tax cuts which mostly 9 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: benefit the wealthy, although it also calls for no texes 10 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: on tips, which was a Trump campaign pledge. But to 11 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,239 Speaker 1: try and pay for some of the tax cuts and 12 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:39,200 Speaker 1: increases in military and immigration enforcement spending, they would seek 13 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 1: to cut medical aid and food for the poor, and 14 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: clean energy initiatives, all to bust the budget even further 15 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,919 Speaker 1: by another four or five trillion, Even as the Moody's 16 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: Credit Agency rating has just been downgraded, taking the United 17 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: States from the top level for the first time, amid 18 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: fears oversawing debt. Scott Pressante, Trump Treasury secretary, is dismissing 19 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: that part of it. 20 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,759 Speaker 2: They think that Moodies is a lagging indicator. 21 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 1: I think that's what everyone thinks of credit agency. Yeah, 22 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 1: tell that to the Bank next time, you're going for 23 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 1: a loan. Right, So, even if they push for a 24 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: House vote and managed to get that through, there's a 25 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 1: long long way to go in this budget battle. Republican 26 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 1: Josh Hawley, who supported the Trump claim about a stolen election, says, 27 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: on cutting. 28 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 2: Healthcare, it is wrong to cut healthcare for the working poor. 29 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 2: That's what we're talking about here with Medicaid. 30 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, so he is clearly thinking about his own electric 31 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: and possible future elections. Republican Senator Rouand Paul is among 32 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: several Republicans who say that should be cut even more 33 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: than the Trump team is outlining, so somewhat more cuts, 34 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: somewhat less. On the tariff front, Trump also is slamming 35 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: Walmart right now, of course, this country's biggest retailer, for 36 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: proposing price hikes on a lot of their products, which 37 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: are important because of the Trump tariffs. Trump says Walmart 38 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: made billions in profits last year, they should quote eat 39 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: the tariffs. Meantime, on foreign policy, Trump will have separate 40 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: calls tomorrow with the leaders of Russia and Ukraine. He 41 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: will see separately with Zolenski and with Putin. Trump's negotiator, 42 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,399 Speaker 1: Steve Witkoff is voicing confidence today Red Trump. 43 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 2: Is sensibility or that he's got to get on the 44 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 2: phone with President Putin and that is going to clear 45 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 2: up some of the large jam and get us to 46 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 2: the place that we need to get to. And I 47 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 2: think it's going to be a very successful call. 48 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: Well, on the eve of what he suggests could be 49 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 1: a very successful call, Putin ordered another drone attack on Ukraine, 50 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: hitting a shuttle bus carrying civilians and killing at least 51 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: nine people. Later, so Zelenski says, the Russians could not 52 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: have failed to be aware of what kind of bus 53 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,239 Speaker 1: they were hacking. And we've got now Palm Springs, we 54 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: got the name of the block. Yeah. The FBI has 55 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: just given an on scene briefing about this car bomb 56 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: attack on a fertility clinic there. They've named the bombers 57 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: twenty five year old guy Bartkis who died in the blast. 58 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: They are searching his family home right now and it's 59 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: about an hour from the scene. They say this was 60 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,519 Speaker 1: a terrorist assault and a massive attack. Says the fbis 61 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: A Kell Davis. 62 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 2: This is probably the largest bombing scene that we've had 63 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 2: in southern California. 64 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: So putting it in that perspective, he says, there is 65 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 1: debris covering blocks, and the front part of the in 66 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: vitro clinic, as many will have seen, was completely demolished. Fortunately, 67 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 1: no one in the clinic was killed, and says the FBI, 68 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: you're able to save all of the embryos at this facility. 69 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,519 Speaker 2: Good guys, one, bad guys, zero. 70 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 1: Well not entirely. Four people in the streets suffered minor 71 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: injuries into blasts. Meantime, the FEDS are going through what 72 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: they say was a manifesto left by this bomber. It 73 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: out lies what they describe as an anti natalist ideology 74 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: of beliefs that no one, no humans should have children. 75 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: So bizarre, all. 76 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 2: Right, all right? 77 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: Might see Wednesday Richard on sight Side for more from 78 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: the Mic Asking Breakfast.
