WEBVTT - A Long Night - July 1st, Hour 1 0:00:01.080 --> 0:00:03.120 All right, thank you Scott Shannon, and thanks to all 0:00:03.160 --> 0:00:05.360 of you for being with us. Right down our toll 0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:08.200 free telephone number if you want to be a part 0:00:08.280 --> 0:00:10.320 of the program. 0:00:10.600 --> 0:00:12.039 Well, it's been a long night. 0:00:12.760 --> 0:00:17.680 Maybe slept a couple of hours up throughout the entire night, 0:00:18.200 --> 0:00:21.440 and I can tell you the behind the scenes if 0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:22.160 you're interested. 0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:24.320 That's what we do on this program. 0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:26.560 And I spoke with a lot of senators all throughout 0:00:26.560 --> 0:00:31.440 the night, and it wasn't until about eight am, nine 0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:36.559 am this morning that word got back to me that well, 0:00:36.600 --> 0:00:38.360 let's put it this way, all throughout the night, they 0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:40.440 did not have the votes to pass this one big, 0:00:40.479 --> 0:00:45.159 beautiful bill. I mean, this is the problem that Republicans 0:00:45.159 --> 0:00:50.640 have with a small minority in the House, in the Senate. 0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:53.960 It's very tough, and you're dealing with people that all 0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:57.760 have their different agendas involved in the process. 0:00:58.120 --> 0:00:59.360 And I don't like it. 0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:05.480 I will was different and it's frustrating when we get to, 0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:09.479 you know, the point where you know the differences are, 0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:13.520 you know, for me, it was like it was sort 0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:15.720 of like go back to when I did the town 0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:20.840 hall with Speaker Johnson and House Republicans. The first thing 0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:26.000 I said to all of them on TV is you 0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:28.679 all know you're not going to get everything you want. 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:30.880 And the first thing I did when I had the 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:33.280 Senate town hall. John Thune was on that and Ted 0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:36.800 Cruz and a bunch of other Senator Kennedy Graham and 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:40.280 many others, and I said, you all know you're not 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:45.400 going to get everything that you want now, for better. 0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:46.120 Or for worse. 0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:50.840 That's just the system of governance, as imperfect as it 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:56.000 is that we have. But with all of that said, 0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:58.040 and I will be the first to tell you, the 0:01:58.080 --> 0:01:59.760 bill is not perfect. I can tell you that the 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.680 visions and policies. I've not read the entire bill because 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:06.040 I don't have time to read a thousand pages and 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:10.760 digest it and completely understand it. So I look through 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:12.919 the various summaries that I've been able to see this 0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:15.240 there's plenty that I don't like here. I wish it 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:17.600 did cut more and spending that it ended up that 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:20.560 Ted Cruz ended up being right that the Senate version 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:24.480 cuts more money than the House version does. And now 0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:26.280 it will make its way to the House. I believe 0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:28.240 the schedule is they're going to debate it and vote 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:33.640 on that tomorrow. Leading into the fourth of July. But 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:36.280 let me tell you what I do like about it. 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:40.560 This is probably when you look at all of the 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:43.320 bills that have ever been passed, it's they're all the same. 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:47.920 None of this is any different than how Washington always works. 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:49.920 It's like watching sausage get made. You don't want to 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.200 watch how it gets made, but you want to eat it, 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:55.200 and you want to take the good out of this. 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:56.920 And then the beauty is. 0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.080 With the Republicans have in control of the House and Senate, 0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:03.280 there is an opportunity. I'm not putting my confidence in it. 0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:05.920 They might have just been better off doing the three 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:09.080 smaller bills as had been proposed at one point and 0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:11.799 not gone for one big, beautiful bill. But here's where 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:13.919 we find ourselves. And now the House is going to 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.760 have to struggle with this. I assume it will be 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:19.840 as touch and go as it was all night long 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:24.280 with with senators. And you know, I can't stand as 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:26.680 salt deduction, for example, drives me crazy. I would have 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:28.480 liked to save more money. You know, I don't like 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:32.119 you know, the state and local tax deduction. It rewards 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:36.600 blue states that'll elect you know, tax and spend liberals 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:42.080 and regulate everything for their constituents. Here's why that provision 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:46.040 was included. I'll be very straight up because the Republicans 0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:51.200 that are elected officials, especially in Congress, in the House, 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:56.480 in California, states like California, Illinois, and California, because without 0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:59.040 fighting for that, they'd have nothing to go back to 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:02.000 their stituents and say that they were able to get 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:05.960 out of this bill. It's very expensive. Thought. A dollar 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:08.520 deduction for person is a lot of money. If you 0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:11.240 get to this deduct state and local taxes, that's a lot. 0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:15.040 So there are provisions here. Now, That's how the sausage 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:18.159 is made. That's how the game is played. I don't 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:20.880 think you know you're ever going to get representatives that 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:24.080 are going to stand okay, I will support this and 0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:25.880 not want to put their changes in there. And they're 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:28.359 going to they have a duty to represent those that 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:32.599 elected them. But the legislation is packed with some of 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:37.400 the most conservative things, especially on the economy, that really 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:41.320 make me happy. The twenty seventeen tax cuts will be 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:45.080 made permanent. That will be the largest tax cut now 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:50.560 ever in American history. Democrats ended up voting against or 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:53.720 voting for the largest tax increase in American history by 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:57.279 not supporting it. You know, this bill does eliminate taxes 0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:01.200 on tips and taxes on overtime. Eight percent of seniors 0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:04.760 will not pay taxes on Social Security according to it 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:08.520 an analysis we have in spite of the lies being told, 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:12.159 every American working men and women will benefit from the 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:15.640 Trump tax cuts and that is a fact. We'll get 0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:18.760 into more specificitaty in details in the next hour. But 0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:23.159 the bill cuts Medicaid for people who rely on it. 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:27.400 That's another lie that's told. It's not true. The bill 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:28.720 explodes the deficit. 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:29.640 You know. 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.839 The problem with that mindset and that thinking is there 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:34.520 is a believe well, if you cut taxes, you've got 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:36.960 to pay for them. That is the main argument of here. 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:40.520 That's what liberal Democrats always say. But it doesn't factor 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:44.320 in the growth of the economy aspect of cutting taxes. 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:47.320 You know, how is it Reagan dropped the top marginal 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:49.880 rate from seventy to twenty eight percent, and revenues to 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:53.440 the government ended up doubling, and we resulted in twenty 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:56.560 one million new jobs and the longest period of peacetime 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.359 economic growth in history. How is it the twenty seventeen. 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:03.880 Trump tax cuts ended up creating one record low after 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:09.760 another after another after another. Unemployment for African Americans, Hispanic Americans, 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:12.720 Asian Americans, women in the workplace, in African American youth, 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:18.680 unemployment because tax cuts increase revenue to the government, and 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:21.560 this is a misnomer that you have to quote pay 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:24.000 for them. What you then have to do is what 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:26.960 Doze is doing, for example, and Doze is still in place, 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:31.040 Elon Musk Ando Elon Musk, and they are looking and 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:33.160 we saw this last week. They were over to identify 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:36.200 what was at one point seven billion dollars in waste, 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:38.960 fraud and abuse. And that also is part of this 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:41.880 bill that they're going to be austere and putting their 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:44.560 budgets together, and that's going to be a process that 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:47.720 is ongoing, which I'm very happy and no administration has 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:51.200 ever tried to tackle this before. But the largest tax 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:54.440 cut in American history. Democrats vote for the largest tax 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:58.000 increase in American history, helping out men and women that 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:00.919 work in the service industry with a dominating taxes on 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:05.720 tips and taxes and overtime. For people that work extra hard, 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:08.160 they deserve to keep more of their money, I think 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:11.160 is a great idea too, getting rid of getting rid 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:14.360 of waste, fraud, and abuse of Medicaid. That's that's a win. 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:19.000 Creating a work requirement for able bodied Americans now enrolled 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:20.360 in the program, that's a win. 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:21.840 You know it did. 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:25.680 Also, this bill extends the full child tax credits standard deduction, 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:29.920 allocates funds for Trump's Golden Dome and the next generation 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:34.320 of weaponry. I mean, our military under Biden and Harris, 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:39.360 you know, had been completely neglected and frankly desperately needs 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:43.560 the monies to get to this goal. It Also, this 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:48.400 bill is funding desperately needed border security funds and the 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:52.320 monies to continue the deportation of criminals. Nobody been more 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:56.280 outspoken on this issue than Tom Homan. And it will 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:59.640 put America on a path towards energy dominance, which, by 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:02.600 the way, we need desperately, which also will create high 0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:06.160 paying career jobs for Americans and all the wealth that 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:11.040 comes with it because oil, gas and coal remain It's 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:15.120 been now forever, in spite of all these attempts at 0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:19.360 other forms of energy, eighty percent of the lifeblood of 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:24.160 the world's economy, you know, Biden e climate rules, regulations, 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:28.960 repealed the Green tax credit, eliminated Biden's student loan scheme 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:35.360 officially over, and the bill does not decrease Medicaid, Medicare, SNAP, 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:39.280 or Social Security benefits, although many Democrats have been demagoguing 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:42.960 and flat out lying about it. Those earning Social Security 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:45.079 are going to end up taking home more money thanks 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:48.680 to a reduction in taxes. Medicare payments will increase, while 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:53.560 Medicaid recipients are protected from fraud, waste, and abuse. It 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:57.920 also does not increase the deficit. Instead, the deficit will 0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:00.720 go down by around well just the little Shia two 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:03.880 trillion dollars according to estimates, but they still have a 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:05.920 long way to go to get us to a balanced budget. 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:09.640 There's no doubt about it. Now, this is going to 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:13.880 benefit working class Americans. Now here's my hope. When you 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:19.839 combine the President's tax cuts and especially for working men 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:23.000 and women in the service industries, and working men and 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:25.560 women in the trades, and people that get paid by 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:27.520 the hour and they work over time and they get 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:30.920 to keep more of their money, and you still keep 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:33.880 in the essential services that Americans have always shown that 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:37.679 they wanted, Medicaid, Medicare, social security of a lot of it. 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:41.079 They have lost their original purpose. And you know, as 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:44.079 I once warned that Obamacare was just going to funnel 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:47.439 everybody into, you know, one of these programs as a 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:52.800 backdoor towards universal healthcare. When you put all of that 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:55.240 in place, then you add the ten trillion dollars in 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:58.719 commitments that the President has gotten from countries and companies 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:04.400 for manufacturing in this country. Ten trillion, not billion trillion 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:08.439 in the next four years. It's great for national security. 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:12.040 Why we're gonna now be making our pharmaceuticals here in 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:15.079 America with the monies that are committed by a lot 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:18.000 of the pharmaceutical companies. That means we won't be reliant 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:21.680 on China. We've been far too reliant on foreign countries 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:25.120 for semiconductor chips. That is coming to an end as well, 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:29.080 as a result of the President's push for tariff and 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:33.679 free and fair trade. That's a big benefit. Automobile manufacturing 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:36.880 is coming back to America. All of these sectors will 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:40.600 have high paying career jobs. Now, add one more thing 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:45.600 to that, the President's commitment now to the country to 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:50.000 now start production of rare earth minerals and magnets and 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:54.320 all these other things. These components that are necessary for 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:59.559 computers and cars and industry and especially our defense department. 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:03.160 These are critical, critical items. And yeah, he did make 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:05.440 a deal with China. Yeah, that's great for the short term, 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:08.760 but we can no longer be dependent on foreign countries, frankly, 0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:12.960 for anything, as far as I'm concerned. And it's you know, 0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:16.120 and we we really did see a lot, I mean, 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:20.359 between this and Mandani Mandani whatever, his name is, Auran Mandani, 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:26.280 the Marxist Mandani as we call him affectionately, You see 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:29.040 a void that this could be the party of working 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:31.480 men and women they claimed for a long time to be, 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:35.440 but no, they have now evolved into a radical you know, 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:38.400 in this case, this guy is a stated Marxist. We've 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:41.360 got new information about him today. He's now talking about 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:42.960 seizing the means of production. 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:43.640 Literally. 0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:47.600 Well, that's like what Fidel Castro did in Cuba. That's 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:52.160 what they did during the Bolshevik Revolution in the former 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:57.679 Soviet Union in Russia. You know, but Mamdani's goal is 0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:01.920 very very clear. It is a part that is institutionalized, 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:06.560 you know, hatred against people that I never thought possible. 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:10.040 You know, we now have the radical Squad and this 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:12.680 is now the power base and the power brokers. This 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:16.640 the Mom Donni's of the world, the Aocs of the world, 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:20.200 the Jasmine Crockets of the world, the Grandpa Bernie's of 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:22.320 the world, the Elizabeth Warrens of the world. 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:23.840 The squad. 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:27.640 This now represents the heart and soul of the Democratic Party. 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:31.640 And as goes New York in California, so goes the 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:34.920 rest of the country. And if you want the results 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:37.320 that they have in New York and California, then my 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:40.040 advice is go out there and vote for those policies, 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:42.240 and you will regret them. 0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:43.640 Is it is. 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:49.720 Beyond strange, bewildering, bizarre, and troubling to me that people 0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:54.240 are so willing to give up their freedom and the 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:58.240 name of this false security and guaranteed everything from their government. 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:01.440 And when you ask a simple question, what does government 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:05.679 do right? The answer is you can't name anything except 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:08.320 maybe the military. But even there we do waste too 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:11.440 much money. There could be more efficiency, and I know 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:14.200 they're working to clean that up now since Donald Trump 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:18.240 has got elected. But most schools look at blue states 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:20.400 and blue cities, how are their school systems doing? 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:20.959 Not well? 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:24.160 Spending more per capita on education per student with the 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:29.320 worst results. How was defund dismantled, no bail laws and 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:34.400 you know, release the criminals from jail and sending social 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:38.520 workers Marxist when Donnie wants to do How's that going 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:39.000 to work out? 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:40.160 You don't have to be a genius. 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:43.400 By the way, everyone that predicted Donald Trump was wrong 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:46.440 on tariff, Well, Department of Homeland Security collected more than 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:49.240 one hundred and six billion in tariff revenue since Donald 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:53.079 Trump took office. And guess what, We're not experiencing an 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:56.840 increase in inflation. And while Americans struggle with health care 0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:59.520 costs and it, Democrats fought to preserve free health care 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:04.000 for illegal immigrants. The Senate Democrats moved to block efforts 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:08.760 last night to strip you illegal immigrants of taxpayer funded benefits. 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:12.880 They voted fifty six forty four on an amendment from 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:16.280 John Cornyan that would have reduced federal Medicaid payments to 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:19.760 states that offer healthcare to with legal immigrants. Why would 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.040 they want to do that? Why would Kamala Harris support 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:25.800 taxpayer funded sex change operations for illegal why did she 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:28.880 Why did Tim Wall support free college tuition? They're being 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:33.120 sued now by Pam Bondi anyway, eight hundred nine one, Sean, 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:34.560 if you want to be a part of the program. 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:38.440 This will now make its way to the House, and 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:41.760 you know there's some anger already emerging. But I think 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:43.960 at the end of the day, they're going to go 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:46.880 along with the president's policies, look at the overall good 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:49.160 in it, and then maybe come back and make it better. 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:51.360 That's my hope. All right, twenty five now to the 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:53.600 top of the hour. Eight hundred nine four one. Shawn 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:57.000 was on number. You know, so many dedicated first responders 0:14:57.040 --> 0:15:01.920 service members, you know, like Austin Reese, they have paid 0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:04.920 such a high price for the safety and the freedom 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:07.000 that we take it. You know, we take for granted 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:11.200 too often, but we enjoy. Austin served three deployments in Iraq. 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:13.760 He learned how to skydive on the job. He became 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:17.880 a military free fall instructor, but in what was supposed 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:20.960 to be a routine jump, something went terribly wrong. He 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:23.760 hit the ground at sixty five miles an hour. In 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:27.920 that moment, his life changed forever. He broke his pelvis ankle. 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:31.200 He sleftfered a spinal cord injury that left him paralyzed. 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:35.800 But thanks to the generosity of friends like you and 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:39.680 the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. Well, your generosity helped provide 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:42.520 the Tunnel to Tarers Foundation with the money that could 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:45.760 they could give Austin a specially adapted smart home to 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:50.200 enable him to rebuild his life after this unimaginable hardship. 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:53.600 And you helped Austin restore his dignity, his independence, his 0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:56.520 hope for the future. And in doing so, you honored 0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:59.400 his service in the most meaningful way. And you can 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:03.400 help pro like Austin. Please, you know, donate generously. If 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:06.200 you can commit to eleven dollars a month, we'll have 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:10.000 enough money to help out every deserving VET and first responder. 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:12.560 Go to their website the letter T, the number two, 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:15.000 the letter T dot org. The letter T the number two, 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:17.280 the letter T dot org for the Tunnel to Towers 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:21.160 Foundation all the way. This is pretty interesting. There's in 0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:25.520 Big Big Pack reviews about fake new CNN. But anyway, 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:30.160 this guy, Henry Harry Enton is pretty interesting. He gets 0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:32.400 a lot of press. I'll say that he said the 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:36.120 President Trump now is more beloved among his party's voters 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:40.280 than any other past Republican president in the last few decades. 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:43.400 He has a whopping sixty three percent approval rating among 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:48.280 Republican voters as of today. This rating is higher than 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:52.320 other Republican presidents going back to former President Ronald Reagan, 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:56.360 those approval ratings did not exceed sixty percent by the 0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:59.720 fifth month of their term. And he said, it's history making. 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:03.640 We've let all these Republican presidents going back thirty six, 0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:07.320 thirty seven years, five months in, look at this. Former 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:11.320 President George HW. Bush forty six percent, former President George W. 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:15.360 Bush fifty nine percent. And remember he had very high ratings. 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:17.360 You know, after nine to eleven. He did a great 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:20.600 job rallying the nation at that point. You see in 0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:23.760 President Trump's first term it was fifty three percent. Now 0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:26.840 it's sixty three percent, and he beats all the Republicans 0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:30.360 on the board, and you know, even beats Reagan when 0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:34.720 it comes to strongly the strongly approved category five months in, 0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:38.520 and of course Reagan was coming on. You know that 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:42.600 that was after that assassination attempt. Reagan's approval ratings stood 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:45.840 between fifty eight and sixty percent in early July nineteen 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:49.280 eighty one, only four months after John Hinckley Junior tried 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:52.960 to assassinate him outside the Washington Hilton Hotel. To the 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:55.439 bottom line is Trump is really making history with the 0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:56.600 Republican base. 0:17:57.200 --> 0:17:58.600 And very beloved right now. 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:01.920 You know, we'll get into the issue at the top 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:04.320 of the hour of the myths of what is being sent. 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:07.600 The only thing I can say is it was it 0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:11.000 was a long night last night. It was frustrating, but 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:14.560 I understand it. I've been through too many of these battles. 0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:19.440 Reagan had his you know, his own battles and fights 0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:21.720 within his own party. You know, it's hard to get 0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:25.320 people five hundred and thirty five people, you know, if 0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:28.000 you have slim majorities like Republicans now do in the 0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:30.919 House and Senate, which really does highlight the need to 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:35.000 elect more you know, maga conservative Republicans so we can 0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:38.800 get more and bigger things done. But this was a 0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:42.200 very very heavy lift. And all throughout the night I 0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:45.200 was getting updates and it's like, uh, we'll still shy 0:18:45.240 --> 0:18:47.479 one vote, still shy. If I could show you all 0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:50.679 the texts, still shy one vote, still shy one. We 0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:53.879 have an Alaska problem. That was Lisa Mkowski. It's frustrating, 0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:58.040 but they eventually got there, and that's the good news. 0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:00.879 I'm not going to sit here and be mad at 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:02.600 people that voted whatever way they voted. 0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:04.400 It's just I'm just glad it got done. 0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:06.679 I don't think as you know, going through all the 0:19:06.680 --> 0:19:10.000 things that I mentioned, I won't repeat myself. But there's 0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:13.240 so much conservative goodness in this. And here's the best 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:15.159 part to me. If you're looking at this through a 0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:19.480 political lens, it's not the politics of winning. It's it's 0:19:19.520 --> 0:19:23.399 the policies that will lead to the better economy, and 0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:26.960 that's the tax cuts. It also shows the American people 0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:30.840 that the Republicans are the party of working men and women, 0:19:31.160 --> 0:19:34.880 and Democrats voted for the biggest tax increase in history, 0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:38.080 and voted against working men and women, and voted for 0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:43.199 open voters, and voted against energy independence, and voted against 0:19:43.200 --> 0:19:47.400 deporting criminals, and voted against you know, funding the next 0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:52.480 generation of weaponry. And it's that's that's on them as 0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:57.160 they go and elect their Marxist mandanis of the world. 0:19:57.960 --> 0:20:00.440 You know, I know that Elizabeth Warren had to fit. 0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:03.439 This is outrageous, this is wrong. We'll show you some 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:08.359 of this tonight. This this I'm angry he's very angry 0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:12.600 about this. What did you think was gonna happen? You know, 0:20:12.640 --> 0:20:15.840 Americans are struggling with health care costs. Senate Democrats fought 0:20:15.880 --> 0:20:18.680 to preserve free health care for illegal immigrants in this bill. 0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:22.200 Then I voted fifty six forty four in an amendment 0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:25.719 by John Cornyan that would have reduced federal Medicaid payments 0:20:25.800 --> 0:20:29.800 to states that offer health care to illegal immigrants charged 0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:33.840 their convicted of serious crimes. You know, the four Senate 0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:36.719 Democrats booked their party to pack the measure. The amendment 0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:40.800 failed to clear the sixty vote threshold and will therefore 0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:43.720 not be is not included in this one big, beautiful bill. 0:20:44.440 --> 0:20:46.879 That's the party of the Democrats, the party that puts 0:20:46.880 --> 0:20:50.680 the rights of illegals, so called rights of illegals over 0:20:50.840 --> 0:20:55.159 your safety, including criminal illegals like a Brego Garcia. You know, 0:20:55.200 --> 0:20:58.200 look at all the temper tantrums out as ICE is 0:20:58.240 --> 0:21:00.439 trying to do their job in Los Angeles. They arrested 0:21:00.520 --> 0:21:04.080 murderers and child molesters, gang members, I mean, some of 0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:06.000 the worst of the worst. You'd think they would be happy, 0:21:06.000 --> 0:21:11.879 but they're not. And that's the Democratic Party. And you know, 0:21:11.960 --> 0:21:15.280 blue states have enrolled over a million illegal immigrants in 0:21:15.800 --> 0:21:17.119 the program of Medicaid. 0:21:17.160 --> 0:21:18.400 Why are we paying for this? 0:21:20.040 --> 0:21:24.399 MPR reporting more than one million illegal immigrants, most of 0:21:24.440 --> 0:21:27.720 them lack permanent legal status covered by state health programs 0:21:27.760 --> 0:21:30.320 like medical Look at all the money they've had to 0:21:30.359 --> 0:21:34.600 borrow out in California to pay for healthcare for illegals 0:21:35.240 --> 0:21:39.480 and all the other services associated with it. It was 0:21:39.600 --> 0:21:42.960 interesting on the Lisa Murkowski question here that this did 0:21:43.000 --> 0:21:46.199 a lot for Alaska. This bill a lot, especially on 0:21:46.240 --> 0:21:51.680 the issue of energy. In the end, she was I mean, 0:21:51.720 --> 0:21:54.880 there were no votes from Rampaul, Tom Tellis, and Susan Collins. 0:21:54.880 --> 0:21:58.080 My understanding was that they're at ram Paul was willing 0:21:58.200 --> 0:22:02.360 to meet the rest of his colleagues halfway and if 0:22:02.359 --> 0:22:06.359 they would reduce the amount of money in terms of 0:22:06.440 --> 0:22:10.080 raising the debt ceiling by like eighty percent, he would 0:22:10.080 --> 0:22:12.320 have He would have been the crucial last vote for 0:22:12.400 --> 0:22:18.120 this because Susan Collins Tom Tillis were a hard nos. 0:22:19.560 --> 0:22:23.639 Not surprising in either case, but that was that was 0:22:23.720 --> 0:22:26.000 kind of like the behind the scenes. And then finally 0:22:26.040 --> 0:22:28.520 I got the I don't know the text, I don't 0:22:28.560 --> 0:22:32.080 remember phone call, I don't remember from who got to 0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:33.960 give credit to those people that fought for it. I 0:22:35.280 --> 0:22:36.760 know that there are going to be House members that 0:22:36.760 --> 0:22:40.719 are unhappy changed at all. I can only say from 0:22:41.400 --> 0:22:45.640 being up and awake and in touch with a lot 0:22:45.680 --> 0:22:48.840 of people involved in this last night, that this was 0:22:48.880 --> 0:22:51.240
