Caroline Levitt 105 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: taking a lot of heat at the White House Press 106 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: briefing today on the Big Beautiful Bill because there are 107 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 1: so many in the Democratic Party and in the mainstream 108 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: media that want to destroy this from becoming a reality. 109 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 1: I want you to listen to what she had to 110 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 1: say about this legislation. 111 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 4: You speak on it, can you respond to the CBO 112 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 4: list month that the Senate but would increase the deficite 113 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 4: when you're eighty three in trillion? This is one of 114 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 4: the most fiscally conservative pieces of legislation that has ever 115 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 4: made its way through Capitol Hill. There's two trillion dollars 116 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 4: in mandatory savings in this bill. And not only that, 117 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 4: the projected growth that this bill will bring to our economy. 118 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 4: It will be an economic boom. The Council of Economic 119 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 4: Advisors has an analysis that shows that the bill will 120 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 4: generate four point one trillion dollars in economic growth, and 121 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 4: it will cut taxes, putting more money back into the 122 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 4: American people's pockets. That's why this president wants this bill 123 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 4: to pass. And I know he's busy working the phones 124 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 4: and doing what he needs to do today to make 125 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 4: it happen.

Now, 136 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 1: there is also other centators that are going on TV 137 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: talking about where they believe this is going. Centater turber 138 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,679 Speaker 1: Bilt from Alabama, you may know him as the football coach. 139 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: Here's what he had to say on Fox Business. 140 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 6: What is your assessment when you look at the whole thing, 141 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 6: what would you have liked to have gotten in that 142 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 6: didn't and what do you. 143 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 5: Think is the best things in it? Well, first of all, 144 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 5: two thirds of the bill is the tax cuts, which 145 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 5: obviously we've got to get done. It's necessary. Then one 146 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 5: third of the bill is we're reforming most of the agencies, 147 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 5: which is Medicaid, you know, school loans, all those things 148 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 5: that are really costing us a lot of money. They've 149 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 5: right now we have forty seven million young Americans that 150 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 5: are in debt with student loans. For one point seven 151 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 5: trillion dollars. We can't sustain that. We can't sustain it. 152 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 5: So we've done some work on that. We've done some 153 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 5: work on Medicaid. Medicaid is basically reform it care people 154 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 5: off that's not supposed to be on their illegals and 155 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 5: people that should be working. So all this, most of 156 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 5: it is good. You just sometimes you hate to do 157 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 5: things that you know is going to put people in 158 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 5: a situation where they're going to be uncomfortable. But the 159 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 5: end of the day, we all have to adjust to 160 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 5: this because we can't keep spending the way we're spending 161 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 5: right now. We can't do it. 162 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: We can't keep spending the way we're spending right now. 163 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: We just can't keep doing it now. Senator Turberville brought 164 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: up an excellent point there as well. Two thirds of 165 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,559 Speaker 1: this big, beautiful bill are actually tax cuts and one 166 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 1: third is reforming most of the agencies that is extremely important. Now, 167 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 1: there's also many that are saying the American people actually 168 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 1: don't want this. One of the things that Tom Tillis 169 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: has been saying about this bill that actually is not true. 170 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,319 Speaker 1: In fact, if you go back and look at what 171 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,199 Speaker 1: Donald Trump ran on he ran on the issue of 172 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: making the Trump tax cuts permanent. How are we doing it? 173 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 1: It is through the Big Beautiful Bill. So the president 174 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: United States of America is burning the Midnight Oil Center. 175 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: Ron Johnson defending the Big Beautiful Bill as well on CNN, 176 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: saying this to Jake Tapper. 177 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 7: Billion so Biden deficits were three times larger than pre 178 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 7: pandemic levels of death. SIT and spending is just out 179 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 7: of control. So it's easy to be a Democrat. Spend 180 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 7: mortgage and kids future, never be held accountable by the media. 181 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 7: It's pretty hard what we're trying to do, and so 182 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 7: this may take a little bit more time. 183 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,959 Speaker 6: Well, DEAFSIT spending is a bipartisan affliction. You know that 184 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 6: better than anyone. Earlier this month, you were warning about 185 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,839 Speaker 6: this bill adding trillions to the national debt. You told 186 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 6: ABC News quote, I'm worried about our kids and grandkids, 187 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 6: the fact that we're mortgaging their future. It's wrong, it's immoral. 188 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 6: Is has your position changed? It's this bill. I mean, 189 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 6: this legislation is still going to add to the deficits. 190 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 7: So Democrats their only solution is increased taxes. We don't 191 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 7: want to do that. That Haim's economic growth. We won't 192 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,599 Speaker 7: get the revenue you ever, look for, all Democrats do 193 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,839 Speaker 7: is spend. By the way they're talking about, you know, 194 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 7: we're going to get you know, test cuts for millionaires. No, 195 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,439 Speaker 7: we're just not going to increase taxes. They could have 196 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,319 Speaker 7: done that in the four years when they were in power. 197 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 7: They could have gotten rid of the Tax Cutting Jobs Act. 198 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,319 Speaker 7: They could have increased taxes on every American. That's what 199 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 7: we're trying to avoid. So again, Democrats love to spend. 200 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 7: I'm not saying that we don't have Republicans that are 201 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,439 Speaker 7: a big spender as well. I've been focusing on spending, spending, spending, 202 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 7: trying to put pressure on the process, and I think 203 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 7: right now the stumbling block is what the Senate bill does. 204 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,319 Speaker 7: Even though we actually reduce spending more, we also make 205 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 7: sure that those business tax provisions which will incentivize growth 206 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 7: are permanent. So that holds a bigger score. But the 207 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,559 Speaker 7: difference between the House and Center is about six hundred 208 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,319 Speaker 7: and fifty one billion dollars. Rick Scott's amendment, which is 209 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 7: eminently reasonable. It doesn't kick anybody off of Medicaid. It 210 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 7: just limits at some point in time in the future. 211 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:58,679 Speaker 7: Additional adults who are childless, who are working age, who 212 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 7: could work, it's going to deny them that nine to 213 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 7: one match, which is distorted Medicaid. Jake, for every dollar 214 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 7: the state puts into a to provide health care for 215 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 7: a disabled child, the federal government puts a buck thirty three. 216 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 7: But for every dollar they put in toward a single 217 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 7: childless adult who should be working, we kick in nine. 218 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 7: That has led to all kinds of abuse, provider taxes, 219 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 7: provider fees. By the way, that's not healthcare. But you 220 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 7: have the federal government's kicking out nine dollars for every 221 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 7: one of the states. That's what we're trying to address. 222 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 7: We're not trying to take Medicaid away from disabled children. 223 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 7: We're trying to stop that scam the states and providers 224 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 7: have been using to draw down one hundreds of billions 225 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 7: of dollars for the federal government that we can't afford. 226 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: So you listener Ron Johnson there defending the big beautiful bill. 227 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: DEM's only solution has increased taxes and saying, quote, it's 228 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: easy to be a Democrat. You can also find it 229 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: very interesting that Jake Tapper it see it and now 230 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 1: actually cares about government spending, something he didn't care about 231 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: under the Biden administration, not one single time, but all 232 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,199 Speaker 1: of a sudden, the media now is like, well, we 233 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: need to be looking at the deficit. At the end 234 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: of the day. Donald Trump promised to make the tax 235 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: cuts permanent and to rein in the size of government. 236 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 1: That's clearly what he's advocating for and what he's trying 237 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 1: to do right now. Now, I'll say this for the 238 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 1: five that are apparently holding out at this hour a 239 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: little after midnight as I am recording the show, anything 240 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: can happen in the next few hours, and I have 241 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 1: a feeling that at the end of the day, Donald 242 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 1: Trump will be working those phones and making sure that 243 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: the big, beautiful bill gets across the finish line for 244 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: the American people. 245 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 3: Now, story number two. 246 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: The media yet again putting ice agents lives at risk, 247 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: this time CNN featuring a segment on ice Block. It 248 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: is an app that lets users anonymously crowd source ice 249 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: agents sightings across a mapp and send alerts to others 250 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 1: within a five mile radius. Now, the app's creator framed 251 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 1: as a quote harmless early warning system to help people 252 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 1: avoid ice, not to incite violence against the agents. Ice 253 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 1: block enforces constraints, they claim as well, one post every 254 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: five minutes, auto deletion after four hours, and explicitly recommends 255 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,839 Speaker 1: users not interfere with officers. That's their get out of 256 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: jail free card. Apparently, the White House Press Secretary Caroline 257 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: Levitt accusing CNN of encouraging violence by publicizing the app, 258 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: especially amid a reported five hundred percent surge in assaults 259 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 1: on ICE agents nationwide. The acting ICE Director called CNN's 260 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: coverage quote reckless and irresponsible, warning that it paints a 261 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: target on federal law enforcement officers. Backs and Tom Homan, 262 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: the former ICE director, and the current borders are branded. 263 00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: The app is simply disgusting, and urge the DOJ to 264 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: investigate CNN's role in all of this. I want you 265 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: to hear more of what Tom Holman had to say 266 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: on Fox News Channel about this. 267 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 8: So this next story is outrageous. A new iPhone app 268 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 8: is alerting people about ICE sightings in the area. As 269 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 8: if that's not bad enough. Seeing in it appears to 270 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 8: be promoting the app, talking to the creator, and doing 271 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 8: a whole story on it. That is not sitting well 272 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 8: with my next guest the borders. Our Tom Holman joins me. Now, Tom, 273 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 8: they've crossed the line here. This is out of control. 274 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 6: I know. 275 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 9: It's just simply disgusting. In any network that covers that 276 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 9: is disgusting as well. So I'm hoping DJ steps in 277 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 9: here and see if they cross that line. I'm competing 278 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 9: federal law enforcement offshoes. Look, Lawrence, you're not talking about this. 279 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 9: Pasaulting CONCIS is up over five hundred percent. Now you've 280 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 9: got an app that's going to tell where ICE operators 281 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 9: are going to be. It's only a matter of time 282 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 9: for ICE stages are ambushed by some nut like we're 283 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 9: happening in LA throwing them a top cocktail, throwing bricks, 284 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 9: and these officers. It's just this is just disgusting at 285 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 9: every level. So I hope DK dives in this deeply, 286 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 9: because you know, ICE is constraint on public safety threats 287 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 9: and national security threats. This shouldn't be a partisan issue. 288 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 9: There shouldn't be an issue anybody's is against. So they're 289 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 9: already a dangerous job going after the worst, the worst. 290 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 9: These guys are putting their lives on the line every day, 291 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 9: going after the worst and worst international security threats, and 292 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 9: this app makes it that much more dangerous. It's it's 293 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 9: incredible that those who enforced law, all of a sudden, 294 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 9: they are the bad guys you want to break the law, 295 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 9: they're victims. It's disgusting. 296 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 8: Why I was seeing in promote this, Why would they 297 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 8: do a story on this? 298 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 9: I can't figure out. I've been look, I've been doing 299 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 9: this for four decades. I've never seen anything like this 300 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 9: in my life. You know, it's got to be they 301 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 9: hate Trump more than love law enforcement or I can't 302 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 9: figure it out, but something needs to be done. I mean, 303 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 9: you advertise this guy's app on a national TV network, 304 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 9: They're just going to bring more followers, sick followers to 305 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 9: the app and use it again, letting the bad guy 306 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 9: know ICE is coming. They're here, here's where they're going next. 307 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 9: This is dangerous for the men and women law enforcement. 308 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 8: So true, Tom, I want to. 309 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: Get Tom Homan clearly slamming CNN for promoting the ICE 310 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: tracking app and now is saying maybe it's time for 311 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: law enforcement, the DOJ to step in here and see 312 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: if they cross the line. Competing federal law enforcement officers 313 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: yet again another example of how the left is doing 314 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 1: everything they can to protect illegal immigrants and put American 315 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: lives at risk. 316 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 3: Thank you for listening to the forty seven Morning Update 317 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 3: with Ben Ferguson.
