There's no time to waste. 38 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 2: The Democrats have lost control of themselves and are aimlessly 39 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 2: wandering around showing no confidence, grit or determination. They have 40 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 2: forgotten their landslide losses in the President's election and are 41 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 2: warped in the past, hoping someday to revive open borders 42 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 2: for the world's criminals to be able to pour into 43 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 2: our country, men to be able to play in women's 44 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 2: sports and transgender for everybody. 45 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: They don't realize that. 46 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 2: These things and so many more like them, will never 47 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 2: happen again. That is the President's statement on all this. Now, 48 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 2: let's dive into some of the big things that are 49 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 2: going to affect you the most and have a major 50 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 2: impact on our economy. Number one is the no tax 51 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 2: on tips in overtime. 52 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: What is this going to do. It's going to increase 53 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: take home pay. 54 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 2: Workers in the service industries and hourly jobs are going 55 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 2: to benefit immediately. Why Because they're going to be able 56 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,119 Speaker 2: to keep one hundred percent of their tips in overtime. 57 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 2: That's going to boost income without increasing labor costs for 58 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 2: the employers. So this is a win win for not 59 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 2: only those that are hiring and the employers, but also 60 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 2: for the employees. 61 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: Another way of looking at it is this it's a. 62 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 2: Great way to have an instant pay raise without it 63 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 2: actually negatively hurting the economy or small businesses. They're also 64 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 2: going to simplify the tax filings. This is huge because 65 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 2: it allowed for more Americans to be able to just 66 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 2: get their tax dollars back quickly, and it will reduce 67 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 2: complexity for both employees and the irs, lowering the cost 68 00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 2: to run a business. Specifically for employers. There's also longer 69 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 2: incentives for working extra hours or in another way of 70 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 2: putting it, working extra hard to provide for yourself and 71 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 2: your family. It's encouraging productivity and rewarding productivity is how 72 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 2: the White House described it, and helping businesses meet demand 73 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 2: with more willing to work in those overtime hours. Now 74 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 2: let's move from there to the one hundred and seventy 75 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 2: five billion dollars for deportations as well as the border 76 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 2: wall funding. You know that border security is one of 77 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 2: the top priorities of President Donald Trump. Well, now we 78 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 2: have the money needed, as Tom Homan describe it, to 79 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 2: get the job done. 80 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: And what the border security. 81 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 2: Is going to do with this money is well, it's 82 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 2: going to have. 83 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:42,919 Speaker 1: The issue of reinforcement. 84 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 2: It will not only they say one, boost enforcement, but 85 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 2: also technology and infrastructure at the southern border, which supporters 86 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 2: are arguing will reduce illegal immigration even more. It's also 87 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 2: going to help stop drug trafficking in the feedanal trade 88 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 2: and the multi billion do industry of human smuggling, so 89 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 2: that is again part of this bill. It will also 90 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 2: have as they described it as a deterrent effect. A 91 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 2: large scale investment is sitting a very strong signal that 92 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 2: immigration laws are actually going to be enforced and strictly 93 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 2: enforced at that. 94 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 1: We know this from the Trump administration. 95 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,679 Speaker 2: There's also what they describe as job protection as well 96 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 2: from this money that will be spent. Why, well, it 97 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 2: is seen by the Trump administration as a way to 98 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 2: quote protect low skilled American jobs from being undercut by 99 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 2: undocumented labor and millions and millions of them with a 100 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 2: race to the bottom that will help more Americans than 101 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 2: ever before. And then let's talk about seniors for a second. 102 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 2: This is something else that the President was really focused on. 103 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 2: He wants there to be real tax relief for our 104 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 2: seniors that are just trying to live a comfortable retirement 105 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 2: without having to worry every single month. Well, higher disposable income. 106 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 2: Why because it reduces the financial burden on retirees, especially 107 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 2: those living unfixed incomes. There's also greater economic participation, the 108 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 2: White House says, as seniors may have more freedom to spend, 109 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 2: invest or support family members because of the tax relief 110 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 2: that they're specifically putting in there for as senior citizens. 111 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 2: And then There's also the healthcare costs buffer, which is 112 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 2: the number one reason why seniors have financial problems later 113 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 2: than life. 114 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,359 Speaker 1: It is easier, they say. 115 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 2: Now, to manage out of pocket medical expenses or rising 116 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 2: living costs. So they're trying to protect seniors in this country. 117 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 1: Now. 118 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 2: Part of this bill, and the big part, which is 119 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 2: going to be monumental, is making the twenty seventeen Trump 120 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:47,679 Speaker 2: tax cuts permanent. This is giving certainty for families and 121 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 2: for businesses. The long term planning is easier when the 122 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 2: tax rates are locked in, and what the President said 123 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,359 Speaker 2: is you're not going to be forgotten. 124 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: These tax rates were important to lock in. 125 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 2: Otherwise we're going to have the largest taxing cut increase 126 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 2: in our country's history. It was going to decimate the 127 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 2: middle class, and it was going to be brutal on 128 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 2: our not only on our economy, but also those at 129 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 2: higher This is now going to be locked in with 130 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 2: us twenty seventeen rates that you're used to. It's also 131 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 2: going to lower the individual tax rates that have continued 132 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 2: for middle class earners to keep more of their paycheck. 133 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 2: So if you're a middle class American, you're going to 134 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 2: keep more of your money because of this big beautiful bill. 135 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 2: There's also major support for small businesses. Pass Through entities 136 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 2: like LLCs and es corps are going to continue to benefit, 137 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 2: the White House says, from deductions spurring entrepreneurship and growth. 138 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 2: There's also investment and growth incentives as well. Lower tax as, 139 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 2: the White House says on capital gains and corporate income 140 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 2: are seen as pro business, potentially driving job creation and 141 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 2: market performance to new levels. Now, the overall positives on 142 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 2: this are this an economic boost. 143 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: There's going to be more money in consumers. 144 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 2: Pockets that can lead to higher spending and economic activity. 145 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: It is a pro worker bill. 146 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 2: The bill positions itself as rewarding hard works, tips, overtime, 147 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 2: and protecting American jobs. And then there's the long term 148 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 2: structural changes. By locking in the tax policy and beefing 149 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 2: up immigration enforcement, the White House views this is fulfilling 150 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 2: their long promise reforms that put American workers first, American 151 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 2: middle class workers first, and making sure they're not under 152 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 2: being undercut by illegal immigrants. This is, in fact, a 153 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 2: big beautiful bill. 154 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: Now. 155 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 2: Speaker Johnson just released a statement on the House passage 156 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 2: of the one Big Beautiful Bill. You heard him earlier, 157 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:48,839 Speaker 2: but I want you to hear what he said quote. 158 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 2: The media and the Democrats have consistently dismissed any possibility 159 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 2: of House Republicans succeeding in our mission to an act 160 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 2: President Trump's America First Agenda. 161 00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: Once again, they have been proven wrong. 162 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 2: Today, the House has passed generational nation shaping legislation that 163 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 2: reduces spending permanently, lowers taxes for families and job creators, 164 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 2: secures the border, unleashes American energy dominance, restores peace through strength, 165 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 2: and makes government work more efficient and effective for all Americans. 166 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 2: House Democrats vote against all of it, which clearly proves 167 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 2: they want tax hikes on their constituents, open borders, and 168 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 2: medicaid for legal immigrants. We look forward to the Senate's 169 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 2: timely consideration of this once in a generation legislation and 170 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 2: stand ready to continue our work together to deliver the 171 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 2: one big, beautiful bill to the President's desk that coming 172 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 2: from Speaker Johnson. 173 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile real quick. 174 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 2: If you've got a cell phone and your cell phone 175 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 2: is not with Patriot Mobile, then the question I'm going 176 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 2: to ask you is why why have you not made 177 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 2: the switch?

You had Congressman Massing and Congressman Davison. 211 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 2: The White House Press Sancretary was asked about those two 212 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 2: Republicans not voting in favor of the big beautiful bill. 213 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,439 Speaker 2: It was pretty clear that Donald Trump has a on 214 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 2: these two congressmen. Now, and here's what the White House 215 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 2: had to say about it. 216 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 4: You had two Republicans last night that voted against this bill, 217 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 4: Congressman Massey and Davidson. 218 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: Does the President think that they should be primary? 219 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 5: I believe he does, and I don't think he likes 220 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 5: to see grandstanders in Congress. 221 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: What's the alternative. 222 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,319 Speaker 5: I would ask those members of Congress did they want 223 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 5: to see a tax hike? Did they want to see 224 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 5: our country go bankrupt? That's the alternative by them trying 225 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 5: to vote no. And the President believes the Republican Party 226 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 5: needs to be unified, and the vast majority of Republicans 227 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 5: clearly are and are listening to the President. They are 228 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 5: trusting in President Trump as they should because there's a 229 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,959 Speaker 5: reason he's sitting in this oval office. It's because he's 230 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 5: the unequivocal leader of the Republican Party, not just a 231 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 5: president for Republicans, but all Americans. The President's approval rating 232 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,959 Speaker 5: is at an all time high right now. It's because 233 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 5: he knows how to deliver in Republicans like Thomas Massey 234 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 5: and others should take note. 235 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: Now. 236 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 2: That was clearly the warning from the White House. Massey 237 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 2: took to the floor of Congress and here is what 238 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,199 Speaker 2: Tom I had to say about his reason for voting no. 239 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 2: Listen carefully, gentlemen from Kentucky's recognized for ninety seconds. 240 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 6: We'd love to stand here and tell the American people, 241 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 6: we can cut you our taxes and we can increase spending, 242 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 6: and everything's going to be just fine. But I can't 243 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 6: do that because I'm here to deliver a dose of reality. 244 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 6: This bill dramatically increases deficits in the near term, but 245 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 6: promises our government will be fiscally responsible five years from now. 246 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: Where have we heard that before? 247 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 6: How do you bind a future Congress to these promises? 248 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 6: This bill is a debt bomb ticking. Congress can do 249 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 6: funny math, fantasy math if it wants, but bond investors don't. 250 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: And this week they sent us a message. 251 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 6: Moodies downgraded our credit rating, and the bond investors who 252 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 6: buy our debt and finance our debt demanded higher interest 253 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 6: rates on the ten year note, the twenty year note, 254 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,680 Speaker 6: and the thirty year note. What does this mean? Very 255 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 6: soon the government will be paying sixteen thousand dollars of 256 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 6: interest interest alone per us family. 257 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: And what are we telling him? 258 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 6: Instead of taking care of that problem, We're gonna give 259 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 6: you a sixteen hundred dollars tax break. Under the taxing 260 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 6: and spending levels in this bill, we're going to rack 261 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 6: up the author say twenty trillion dollars of new debt 262 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 6: over the next ten years. I'm telling you it's closer 263 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 6: to thirty trillion. Dollars of new debt in the next 264 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 6: ten years. Mister speaker, We're not rearranging deck chairs on 265 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 6: the Titanic tonight. We're putting coal into boiler and setting 266 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 6: a course for the iceberg. 267 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: If something is. 268 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 6: If something is beautiful, if something is beautiful, you don't 269 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 6: do it after midnight. 270 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: I pose this villain time has expired. 271 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 2: By the way, those that are clapping were the Democrats 272 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 2: on the Democratic side of the aisle, Thomas Massey saying 273 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 2: I stand here and tell the American we can't cut 274 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 2: your text and increased spinning and everything will be fine. 275 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 2: Digging in White House making it clear we're more than 276 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 2: happy to find somebody to primary you, and clearly the 277 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 2: presidents willing to roll up his sleeves and get involved 278 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 2: in the primary part of all of this. 279 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: Now, I also want to play for you. 280 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 2: Steve Moore, he's an economist, you know him for Fox 281 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 2: News Channel. 282 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: He had something very interesting to say on. 283 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 2: Fox today about this bill and what it means not 284 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 2: only for the president but for the country. 285 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 7: All Right, the Houses passed Trump's big beautiful bill. It 286 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 7: happened earlier today and now joining us with reaction. Steve 287 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 7: Moore Unleash Prosperity co founder and Lou Bassanie, a Prairie 288 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 7: operating company's executive vice president of Marcut Strategy. 289 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 1: Welcome to you both. 290 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 7: First, Steve, your reaction to that and where this goes next. 291 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 8: Well, this was a huge, huge victory for Trump. I 292 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 8: think there were really three heroes here. Obviously President Trump, who, 293 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 8: as you know Sandra went over to the House and 294 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 8: made the final pitch for this and got the final votes. 295 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 8: And then Mike Johnson, who has almost impossible of course, 296 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 8: he's the Speaker of the House. I don't know how 297 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 8: he did it, but he somehow sits together two hundred 298 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 8: and eighteen votes for this, and I think it was 299 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 8: a one vote majority that they were able to get. 300 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 1: It wouldn't have happened without him. 301 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 8: And then I have to say, Chip Roy, who you 302 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 8: may recall Sandra raised some objections to the bill last 303 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 8: week and I hapen to agree with some of those objections, 304 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 8: and you know what, they made it into a better bill. 305 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: And so now this goes to the Senate. 306 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 8: I think the Senate will act sometime before fourth of July. 307 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 8: And I agree, we got to get this thing on 308 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 8: the desk of the President. As quickly as possible. I 309 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 8: think it'll be very positive for the economy and the 310 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 8: stock market. 311 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: You listen to. 312 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 2: Steve Moore there in what he says, and he's absolutely right, Like, 313 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 2: this is going to have a huge impact on our economy. 314 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 1: Everyone knows it, that's involved in it. 315 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 2: The President had a really tough job here keeping this 316 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 2: together with a slim margin in the House. He said 317 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 2: that the other day when he was on Capitol Hill 318 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 2: meeting with members of Congress, and this was his warning, 319 00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 2: by the way, on a couple holdouts at the time. 320 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 9: Look, the alternative is a sixty eight percent tax increase, 321 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,879 Speaker 9: and you can blame the. 322 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:07,640 Speaker 1: Democrats for that. Edward or two. 323 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 9: Brin said, this really have Waterton, but we have not 324 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 9: tremendous support. But you'll have a sixty eight percent tax increase, 325 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:20,199 Speaker 9: or you'll get a massive tax increase. You'll get a 326 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,120 Speaker 9: tax cut the likes of which we've never had to book. 327 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 9: This is bigger than any Ronald Reagan tax cut. It's 328 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 9: even bigger than the tax cut that. 329 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,120 Speaker 1: I gave, because as you know, that's being extended and increased. 330 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 9: So this is the biggest tax cut in the history 331 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 9: of our country or you'll get a sixty eight percent 332 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:39,120 Speaker 9: tax increase. 333 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 2: Now, when you think about the numbers the President just 334 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 2: gave there, this was not only a huge success for 335 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 2: the American people. 336 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 1: But a moment where if it. 337 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 2: Didn't happen, the taxes on everyday Americans were going to skyrocket. 338 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 2: I also got to give a lot of credit here 339 00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 2: to Mike Johnson. Mike Johnson and what he did to 340 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 2: get this across the finish line. 341 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: Hurting cats is the. 342 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 2: Best way I can describe it is incredible. He could 343 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 2: only lose a couple and sure enough he did, and 344 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,120 Speaker 2: he was able to do it with the President's help. 345 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 2: But if you want to know who the biggest bad 346 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 2: a is in Washington right now, it is no doubt 347 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 2: that it's Speaker Johnson. Joe Kanca on Fox said this, 348 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 2: take a listen. 349 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 10: And right now, the MVP right in Washington for Donald 350 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 10: Trump is Mike Johnson. Because he is hurting cats right 351 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 10: where he has almost no majority, and he's been able 352 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 10: to pass some things already. If he could get this 353 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 10: thing through, get it to the Senate, get it through reconciliation, 354 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:42,920 Speaker 10: House and Senate kind of you know, go back and forth, 355 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,360 Speaker 10: and it gets to the President's desk, and this thing passes, 356 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,360 Speaker 10: this big, beautiful bill with all these. 357 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: Tax cuts that are in here. 358 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 10: Democrats had nothing to run on in twenty twenty six. 359 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,439 Speaker 10: They can't run on foreign policy, they can't run on 360 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 10: the border, and they can't run on the economy. So 361 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 10: if that happens, trust me, Mike Johnson is your MVP. 362 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 11: Right, Yeah, well he sounds pretty confident. 363 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 7: We'll see what he does. 364 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,160 Speaker 1: He is the MVP he is, and he got this 365 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: thing done. 366 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 2: And for anyone that's been criticizing Mike Johnson, you're just wrong, 367 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 2: all right, like you are just wrong. 368 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,640 Speaker 1: Mike Johnson did one hell of a job here. 369 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 2: Steve Scalise also talking about this bill getting passed. 370 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 1: Here is what he had to say. 371 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 4: Track again, But we were never deterred when this bill 372 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 4: could have failed ten times over. We said we were 373 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 4: going to get this done and failure is not an option, 374 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 4: and we meant it. We knew we were fighting for 375 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 4: the families who had been struggling for way too long 376 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,159 Speaker 4: under the failed policies of Joe Biden and all the 377 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 4: Democrats who did have control of Washington for too long. 378 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,439 Speaker 4: We watched higher interest rates and higher inflation and lower 379 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 4: wages and a demise of the American dream that we 380 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 4: knew should not be permanent, but was only going to 381 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 4: turn around if we passed a bill to get. 382 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 1: America back on track. 383 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,160 Speaker 4: We knew we had to prevent a massive tax increase, 384 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,879 Speaker 4: so we put it in the bill. We knew we 385 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:13,439 Speaker 4: needed to secure America's border, as President Trump ran on 386 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,239 Speaker 4: all across this country and won the election on and 387 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 4: we put it in this bill. We ran on and 388 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 4: said we would produce more American energy, and. 389 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,360 Speaker 1: We put it in this bill. All the things that. 390 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 4: We knew we needed to do to root at waste, 391 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 4: fraud and abuse, and government focus on those families who 392 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 4: were struggling. 393 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 1: All of that is in this one big, beautiful bill. 394 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 4: And yes, now the House has come together and passed 395 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:46,159 Speaker 4: this bill against all odds, but we're still working on 396 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 4: the rest of the process still goes to the Senate. 397 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 4: Senate has a lot of work to do too. That's 398 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 4: why we've been talking to the Senate for a long time. 399 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,439 Speaker 4: But it's their turn to take this bill and move forward. 400 00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,679 Speaker 4: But I'll tell you, none of this would be possible 401 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 4: without the leadership for President Trump, who every step of 402 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 4: the way, not only laid out the vision, ran a 403 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 4: campaign on this vision, but every step of the way too, 404 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 4: said whatever you need, let me know. 405 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 2: Steve Salice, the House Majority leader, saying whatever you need, 406 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 2: We're on board with this. 407 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:20,360 Speaker 1: Backing the president. 408 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 2: A major victory for America and American families. Well done 409 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 2: by the housekins done. Now it's going to move on 410 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 2: to the Senate. I want to move to another story, 411 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,120 Speaker 2: and this one is obviously a tragic story, a shooting 412 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 2: that occurred outside the Capitol Jewish Museum in Washington, d C. 413 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 2: I was literally in front of this building just a 414 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 2: few days ago when I was in DC and had 415 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,479 Speaker 2: been to Evince there as well, which is I think 416 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 2: the most surreal and shocking part of this anti Semitic killing. 417 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:52,479 Speaker 1: Clearly that's what it was. 418 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,199 Speaker 2: What's even more discussing is the fact that Democrats are 419 00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 2: refusing to condemn the deaths of these two Israeli Embassy 420 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 2: staff members. The couple had just attended a young diplomat's 421 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 2: reception hosted by the American Jewish Committee. They were leaving 422 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 2: the event around nine h eight pm Eastern. The suspect, 423 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,679 Speaker 2: a thirty year old from Chicago, approached a group of 424 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:23,120 Speaker 2: four individuals and opened fire with a handgun, faintly wounding 425 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 2: two of those that he was targeting. 426 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 1: Rodriguez. 427 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 2: The shooter was observed pacing outside the museum prior to 428 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 2: the attack, and after the shooting, he entered the museum 429 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 2: appearing distressed, leading bystanders to initially mistake him for a victim. 430 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 2: He was even given water and comforted until he revealed 431 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 2: himself as the shooter, at which point he was attained 432 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 2: by security personnel. Now, during the arrests, the individual shouted, free, 433 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 2: free Palestine. 434 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,160 Speaker 1: I did this for Gaza, is what he said. Now. 435 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 2: The victims were a couple in their late twenties. They 436 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:08,360 Speaker 2: worked in the embassy's political department and in public diplomacy. 437 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,640 Speaker 2: They were actually planning to become engaged during an upcoming 438 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,159 Speaker 2: trip days away in Jerusalem, and apparently he had already 439 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 2: bought the ring. Authorities are investigating the incident as a 440 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 2: targeted act of violence with potential hate crimes implications, as 441 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 2: it should. The FBI and local law enforcement are examining 442 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 2: the man's background, including his online activities and any possible 443 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 2: connections to extremist group. Now, the attack has widely been 444 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,919 Speaker 2: condemned by leaders in the United States and Israel. President 445 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 2: Trump described the killings as based obviously on anti Semitism 446 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 2: quote unquote, and called for an end to such hatred. 447 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: Israel's Prime Minister. 448 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,439 Speaker 2: Net Yahoo also denounced the act, linking it to the 449 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:58,160 Speaker 2: rise of anti Semitic sentiment and ordering increased security at 450 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 2: Israeli diplomatic missions worldwide. Now, this incident has also heightened 451 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 2: concerns about the safety of Jewish communities and institutions in 452 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,159 Speaker 2: this country, as we are witnessing anti Semitic rhetoric and 453 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 2: violence that is spilling out. What's even I think more 454 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 2: damning to the Democratic Party and there should be no 455 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 2: place for this in the Democratic Party. Yet there is 456 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,920 Speaker 2: is the fact that Elama Mar of the Democratic Party 457 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 2: refuse to condemn the killing of the Israeli diplomats. It 458 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,159 Speaker 2: is despicable, is how the White House described it. 459 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:31,160 Speaker 1: Take a listen to this. 460 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 5: I do you or President tomp have a message to 461 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 5: politicians like Ilhan Omar who believe this morning explicitly avoided 462 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 5: condemning this active terror. It's despicable and frankly, we have 463 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 5: seen a rise in anti Semitic protests of pro Hamas 464 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 5: protests of terrorist sympathizers. We saw them on our college campuses, 465 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 5: and we've seen the Democrat Party turn a blind eye 466 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 5: and in some cases actually embrace such anti Semitic illegal behavior. 467 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 5: And that's why this administration has done more than any 468 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 5: administration in history to crack. 469 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 1: Down on anti Semitism. 470 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 5: As you know, in January when the President took office, 471 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 5: he signed a new executive order to combat anti Semitism. 472 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 5: He created a commission focused on doing just that. The 473 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 5: Justice Department announced their task force as well. The Secretary 474 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 5: of State Marco Rubio, has revoked thousands of student visas 475 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 5: from campuses where these pro palace pro Hamas, terrorist campus 476 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 5: agitators and violent protests took place. And we've also withheld 477 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 5: funding from those veried campuses as well in an effort 478 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 5: to combat anti Semitism. So the President's made it very 479 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 5: clear that such hatred will have no place. 480 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,880 Speaker 1: In our country. I love how clear the White House 481 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:47,640 Speaker 1: is on this one. 482 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,880 Speaker 2: I also want to play for you, and we now 483 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 2: have word the FBI's investigate in the DC shooting is 484 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,719 Speaker 2: an act of targeted violence, is how they've described it 485 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 2: so far. 486 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: After this young Jewish couple is brutally murdered. 487 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 2: But I want you to year what was also said 488 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 2: on CNN. 489 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,160 Speaker 1: CNN apparently their main worry. 490 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,360 Speaker 2: Isn't the safety of Jews, it's how the backlash might 491 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 2: affect anti Israel protesters. Yes, that's their actual angle on 492 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 2: this and the FBI investigation, as they had a witness 493 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 2: that was there. They had them on TV this morning, 494 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 2: and again I want you to hear their narrative. It's 495 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:28,679 Speaker 2: very clear their main worry is not the safety of Jews. 496 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 2: After two Jewish individuals, this couple was brutally murdered, they're 497 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 2: worried how the backlash might affect anti Israel protesters, the 498 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 2: same ones calling for the death of Jewish people, the 499 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,640 Speaker 2: death of Israel from the river to the sea. 500 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 1: We've seen this on college campuses. 501 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,239 Speaker 2: You cannot hide this level of anti semitism here, it 502 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,400 Speaker 2: is in real life on CNN. 503 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 11: As you go forward, as you go forward with what 504 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,400 Speaker 11: you have seen, can you give us any sense because 505 00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,440 Speaker 11: you said you look the shooter in the eyes, can 506 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 11: you give us any sense of what you saw in 507 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 11: him as he was sort of getting help and people 508 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,639 Speaker 11: were tending to him as if he too was a 509 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 11: victim of seeing this. 510 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, it would be clear. 511 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,399 Speaker 12: I like heard about that part because we were in 512 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 12: the secure room when he initially walked in. I just 513 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,199 Speaker 12: saw him screaming and then being handcuffed.

At Columbia University, they were calling for evatada. 554 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 2: They were calling for the death of Jewish students in 555 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 2: pr This is what they had in their article, for example, 556 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 2: and this is absolutely an excusable anti Semitic behavior by NPR. 557 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 2: This is the reason why I'm in favor of defunding 558 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 2: NPR as soon as we possibly can.

That's 564 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 2: what they wrote in the second paragraph, right, like justifying 565 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,719 Speaker 2: is what they're doing. They're justifying these types of attacks. 566 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 2: This is in PR in their own words, they're saying, yeah, well, 567 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 2: you got to understand why this has happened, right, I mean, 568 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 2: you look at defunding MPR.

I don't like being on the road. 672 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:00,719 Speaker 3: So but this one day, I was driving home from 673 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,279 Speaker 3: set in Arizona, and I got gut punched with his 674 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 3: thoughts that what whatever happened to me, if something happened 675 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 3: to Rebee, And then I pulled over to the side 676 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 3: of the road just kind of buckled. And then this 677 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 3: other idea came in my head, which I it has 678 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,879 Speaker 3: to be from God, because I didn't know a whole 679 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,640 Speaker 3: lot about bull riding, and this idea came into my 680 00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:22,200 Speaker 3: head right rocking on a bowl, or a grandfather who 681 00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,239 Speaker 3: has to save his grandson because he's dying of the 682 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,279 Speaker 3: same brain tunor they killed his wife. This came out 683 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:28,799 Speaker 3: and I don't know where that came from, but it 684 00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 3: just did. And then I sat in the side of 685 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 3: the ten freeway for two hours voice dictating into my 686 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,320 Speaker 3: phone because I'm dyslexic, so I'm not very good at writing, 687 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,799 Speaker 3: so I always do all my writing through voice dictations, 688 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,719 Speaker 3: And I sent it up to my writing partner and 689 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:45,920 Speaker 3: within the week we had our first draft, and a 690 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,120 Speaker 3: week later, Revey and I raised the financing and Angel 691 00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 3: Studios came on board, and here we are, almost two 692 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 3: years later, and it's just it's kind of miraculous, and 693 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:55,319 Speaker 3: there really is. 694 00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,480 Speaker 2: Well, you mentioned that there's a family friendly movie. You 695 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:00,399 Speaker 2: don't have to worry. That's one of the reason why 696 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,080 Speaker 2: I wanted to have you on how tough is it 697 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 2: to produce movies like this in the environment we're in now, 698 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,360 Speaker 2: because I know you had friends and people that you 699 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,560 Speaker 2: could go to for financing, but saddling up to do 700 00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,960 Speaker 2: a pro bull riding movie and on top of having 701 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 2: all the pressure behind you of getting this out and 702 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,640 Speaker 2: then getting it to the big screen, it's not an 703 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 2: easy task, especially in twenty twenty five. 704 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,280 Speaker 3: No, it's not. It's you know, it's a minor miracle 705 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,360 Speaker 3: to pull any film off. But for this one, you know, 706 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,080 Speaker 3: God led me the whole way. In this one. I 707 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 3: wanted John Abne to directed, and the amazing John Abnitt 708 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 3: and one incredible director, he is He killed it. I 709 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,799 Speaker 3: wanted Michael T. Williamson and Christopher McDonald to play my 710 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:42,320 Speaker 3: two guys in the film, and there two of my 711 00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,840 Speaker 3: best friends of life, and we went after you know, 712 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,640 Speaker 3: my one of my best friends back home, Lim Griffin 713 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 3: helped us with the film, and then these other financiers 714 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:51,760 Speaker 3: came to me and said, hey, we know what you're doing. 715 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,440 Speaker 3: We really like what you're doing with your message and 716 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,320 Speaker 3: Angel Studios, we like to help finance your next film. 717 00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,920 Speaker 3: So between those two parties, all of a sudden, we 718 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:04,759 Speaker 3: had our budget, we had distribution, and everything just kind 719 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:08,399 Speaker 3: of went according to plan, which was kind of miraculous. Yeah, 720 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:12,240 Speaker 3: there's always pickups, there's there's always variables that you wouldn't 721 00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:15,160 Speaker 3: even think of, but we always knew that we weren't 722 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,279 Speaker 3: doing something that was for his glory, not our own, 723 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:22,719 Speaker 3: and everyone bought into it. So when you say Hollywood 724 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:27,439 Speaker 3: doesn't want that stuff, I think that in their heart 725 00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,399 Speaker 3: of hearts, they actually do. And I think that this 726 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,399 Speaker 3: film was a whole lot easier to make than other 727 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,080 Speaker 3: films because it did have a faith backdrop. It was 728 00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,799 Speaker 3: a film that the whole family can go too, you know. 729 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:42,040 Speaker 3: So I think I think the landscape is changing a 730 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,759 Speaker 3: lot of it thanks to Angel Studios and you know, 731 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,120 Speaker 3: our partnership with Angel in the films that we've been doing. 732 00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:51,640 Speaker 3: That you could make these smaller films and turn a profit, 733 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 3: and that's great for everybody. And to be able to 734 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,200 Speaker 3: put these movies out and have the support of all 735 00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,959 Speaker 3: the fans who go to the films and buy ticket 736 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,279 Speaker 3: and pay it forward anything we do with Angels, it's 737 00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,880 Speaker 3: just it's so humbling that it's again it's hard to 738 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,840 Speaker 3: I get so choked up just thinking about how fortunate 739 00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 3: I am and blessed I am to be able to 740 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,319 Speaker 3: sit here on a show like this and talk about 741 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:14,799 Speaker 3: this amazing film that we have coming out. 742 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:18,360 Speaker 2: Last question for you, there's a rumor that you actually 743 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:20,040 Speaker 2: got injured while bull riding. 744 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:21,040 Speaker 1: Is this true? 745 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:22,319 Speaker 3: Which time? 746 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:23,479 Speaker 9: Right? 747 00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:25,920 Speaker 1: Okay?
