Speaker 1: of different news stories out there, the big beautiful Bill

7

Speaker 1: hour eastern of this program to get the absolute latest there.

10
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 1: James Comey went on MSNBC to talk about his Seashells

11
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: by the Seashore original sin the book is out. And

12
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: then a couple of crazy stories that we may have

13
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: some fun with during the course of the program. Robert Griffin, iid, Buck,

14
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: you saw this story and you were like this and

15
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: this can't be real. Is in a feud with a

16
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 1: guy named Ryan Clark Caitlin Clark and they have had

17
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: wife attacks. Now anyway, this is crazy. Also, I don't

18
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: know if you saw this. This is not super serious,

19
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: but is a little bit crazy. Bill Belichick and his

20
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: twenty four year old girlfriend are reportedly engaged. Buck so

21
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: true love as Spring flowers bloom may well be a

22
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: foot in the great state of North Carolina with Bill

23
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: Belichick as the head coach of the tar Heels. Some

24
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: ladies like granddad Bob, What can I tell you, seventy

25
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: two year old Belichick, twenty four year old Jordan Hudson.

26
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: The heart wants what the heart wants, Buck. But we begin,

27
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: We begin with the big beautiful bill. Trump is up

28
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: on Capitol Hill. Here is my prediction before we go

29
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: through all this different audio. The bill's going to pass.

30
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: This reminds me a bit of the speaker count votes

31
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: every time. Else eventually there is going to be a speaker,

32
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: and it reminds me of the debt ceiling. Oh my goodness,

33
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. The government's going to shut down?

34
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 1: Oh oh no, And then the debt ceiling gets resolved.

35
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: Nothing ever really changes. It's all posturing and negotiation. So

36
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: that is my prediction of where we are, where we

37
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: are headed. But let's listen to what Trump said this

38
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: morning on Capitol Hill before the meeting.

39
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 2: Uh.

40
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: He said, this is a big, beautiful bill and we're

41
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: going to get it done because it has tremendous tax

42
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: cuts cut one well, that's not a question of.

43
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 3: Hold us fare.

44
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 4: A tremendously unified party. I don't think we've ever had

45
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 4: a party like this. There's some people that want a

46
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 4: couple of things that.

47
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't like or that they're not going to get.

48
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 4: But I think we're going to have tremendous not in luck.

49
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 4: We have tremendous talent. This man has done an incredible

50
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 4: job of speaking. So I think we're going to I

51
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 4: think we're a very unified party. The Senate's doing great.

52
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 4: John Thune is doing fantastically. He's a great guy. And

53
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,839
Speaker 4: we're gonna have a bill, the one big beautiful bill.

54
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 4: I think it's going to be the biggest bill ever passed,

55
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 4: and we got to get it done. Tremendous tax cuts

56
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 4: for people, tremendous incentives, tremendous regulation cuts, so all these

57
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 4: regulations that are so horrible.

58
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: Okay, so that was before the meeting. Speaker Johnson after

59
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: the meeting, and then I'll play some Trump. Here's Speaker

60
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: Johnson after the meeting of what happens if they don't

61
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: pass this bill.

62
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 5: So they love this president of people back home love

63
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 5: what he's doing. It's historic, and everybody understands the scope

64
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 5: and the meaning of this. If we do not accomplish

65
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 5: this mission, every one of you, all the American people,

66
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 5: are gonna have the highest tax increase that you've ever had.

67
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 5: And among the debt stealing clip that's approaching and all

68
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 5: the other problems, this is the bill to do it.

69
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 5: I think we're gonna get dumb as president.

70
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: Okay, and then Trump after the meeting, one more cut

71
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: five and then Buck, you can weigh in on all

72
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: the drama on Capitol. How big it is, how beautiful

73
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: it is, so beautiful, I can't stop looking at it.

74
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: Trump says it was a meeting of love.

75
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 3: That was a meeting of love. Let me tell you

76
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 3: that was love in that room.

77
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: There was no shouting there.

78
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 3: I think it was a meeting of love.

79
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 4: There were a couple of things that we talked about,

80
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 4: specifically where some people felt a little bit one way

81
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 4: or the other not a big deal, and I covered

82
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 4: them and wasn't so much a speech.

83
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 3: I covered certain points, and I think it was. I'd

84
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 3: be very surprised.

85
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 4: No, I didn't tell who told you? I said, I'm

86
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 4: losing inside room. But get somebody ready in question, who's

87
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 4: told you that people inside the room totally.

88
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 3: I never used the term.

89
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 4: I didn't stay losing.

90
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: I didn't even talk about it. In fact, it's the opposite.

91
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 3: I think we're getting into that.

92
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: I'm not losing patients, we're ahead of schedule. Anybody that

93
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: told you that it's a liar.

94
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 3: I never.

95
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 4: Mentioned that we're losing patients because I'm not losing we're

96
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 4: ahead of such. But why didn't you go back to

97
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 4: your source and tell them they're liars? If the source

98
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 4: even existed?

99
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: All right, so there is Trump getting into it with

100
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: a reporter, Capitol Hill buck your take on all this, well,

101
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: one thing. I'll get into the substance of the bill

102
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: in just a second. I just when I hear Trump

103
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: with the reporters, I do think you know you and

104
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: I we know Don Junior and Avanka. Could you imagine

105
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: Trumps your dad like trying to tell him why you

106
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 1: broke curfew or something like excuse me, excuse like just

107
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: he's very tough to argumber. Remember when we had Junior

108
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: on at the RNC, if I remember correctly, and he

109
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: had gotten permission to have a few people over and

110
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: just got home and there were, like he said, one

111
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: hundred people at the house and he was just like,

112
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: all of them have to be gone. Can you imagine

113
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: being at that party of the high school kid. Trump

114
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: walks in and he's like, you're all gone, Like he's

115
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: not the dad, He's not the dad that you wanted

116
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: to be rolling kegs in when he wasn't looking. I've

117
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: just thrown that out there, Like I can tell you know,

118
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: I met him when I was thirteen or fourteen for

119
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: the first time, and uh yeah, he was. Nobody was

120
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: messing with him then and nobody's messing with him now. Okay,

121
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: the big beautiful bill, it's huge, it's beautiful's get into it.

122
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: The biggest thing in this Clay and you know I

123
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: spoke to and you can check it out. It's on

124
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: the Clay and Buck podcast network. In the Buck Brief,

125
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: I spoke to the head of the National Economic Council

126
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 1: and I just said, my friend, you are respectfully he's

127
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 1: a PhD from Harvard in economics, and I said, you

128
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 1: are an econ guy. I didn't want to say nerd,

129
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: but I mean, I think econ Nerd would be respectfully

130
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: said here, I said, take me through the whole thing.

131
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: And so we just sat there and I went through it.

132
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: I'll give you some of the highlights of it, and

133
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: what is in this that really matters to people and

134
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: why Trump is so excited about it. The first thing

135
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: is it's one of those if you don't do it,

136
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: really bad things are going to happen, meaning the tax

137
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: raises that would kick in, because the twenty seventeen Trump

138
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: tax cuts are made permanent here, so I know it's confusing,

139
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: but if the stuff, if you don't do this, they

140
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,559
Speaker 1: would expire and you would go back to much higher

141
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: tax rates. So that would be a shock to the

142
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: system in a bad way. Right, that's one part of it.

143
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: You're extending tax cuts. You're extending tax cuts really across

144
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: a whole range, whether it's for businesses, for individual filers,

145
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: and the average American family on an annual basis. And

146
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: again this is from the Chairman of the National Economic Council,

147
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: and I said, let's nerd out, buddy. Let's go. It's

148
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: something like seven to twelve thousand dollars of additional money

149
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: in the bank for you at the end of the

150
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: year for the average American household. Okay, that's not I

151
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: think that's such an important because of say it's for

152
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,559
Speaker 1: the rich. It's for the billionaires. The Democrats, who rely

153
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: on their plurality of billionaires to fund their party, are

154
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: always so upset about billionaires. Right, This has nothing to

155
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: do with the billionaires. This is about the average American household.

156
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: And you're gonna have think about that. If someone told you, hey,

157
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna have an extra ten grand next year at

158
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: the end of the year, you'd say, wow, that's that's great. Well,

159
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: that's what this does for the average household. So I

160
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: think that's really it's Also there's the salt deduction component

161
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: of this, so there's the cap for this is going

162
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: to be changed. They're going to deduct more of the

163
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: regional taxes from the federal tax bill. That's actually good

164
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: for blue states. And I think that's probably for some

165
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: blue state Republicans or purple state Republicans something they're happy

166
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: to see. The big one. Clay and I said, Wow,

167
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: they're actually doing this no tax on tips. That that

168
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: is a real thing. Remember that was so popular and

169
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: cool when Trump said it on the campaign trail that

170
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: Kamala for whatever campaign she was running, she was like, yeah,

171
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: I think we should have no tax. She just blatantly

172
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: copied it. It was totally lifted it. Yeah, totally lifted it.

173
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 1: She was plagiarizing Trump. One thing that I'm going to

174
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: say people on the right are annoyed about is the

175
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: green energy tax credits part of this. The bill's initial

176
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: tax eliminates tax credits for electric vehicles within two years,

177
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: phases out credits for low carbon electricity, including wind and solar.

178
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 1: New requirements on these credits, but doesn't totally zero. And

179
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: there are people that are I'm just gonna tell you

180
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: what's getting criticized. They're criticizing this for not getting like

181
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: there should be the whole Green New Deal scam. Stuff

182
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: should all be completely root and branch taken out. Some

183
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: Republicans are saying, okay, we had Ron Johnson on yesterday

184
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: talk a bit about this. They tighten up snap Benefits,

185
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: which is food stamps. I guess we don't like to

186
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: call it food stamps anymore. They're tightening that up so

187
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: they think there'll be some savings. They're limiting funding for

188
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which had been Elizabeth Warren's

189
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: little fiefdom that didn't actually help consumers but was a

190
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 1: good way to harass disfavored businesses by Democrats, increases the

191
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,079
Speaker 1: debt limit for trillion dollars, and then some substantial funding

192
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: boost for Pentagon priorities and deportation. So Clay, I think

193
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 1: those are the big top lines of where where this

194
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: thing is, where this thing stands, And the biggest critic

195
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: is it's over a thousand pages, eleven hundred pages. Just

196
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: remember that when somebody's like, i've read the bill, you

197
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: have really yeah you know, yeah, uh, they've read the

198
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 1: section of the bill that their lobbyists one and included.

199
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 1: I'm sure, but this is on eleven hundred pages. And

200
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: the part of it that I think people on the right,

201
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: conservatives are a little frustrated on is just that it's

202
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: extending the debts, sealing four trillion dollars and doesn't really

203
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: have the big meaty cuts that from dose you would

204
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: have liked to see. That's the part of it. That's

205
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: but if you're talking about if you're talking about juicing

206
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: the economy, I mean, this thing I think is going

207
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,719
Speaker 1: to be rocket fuel for the economy. So that's why

208
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: Trump's so excited about it. Look, it's it's not a

209
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 1: perfect bill, and the big issue, which if you're around

210
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: our age, meaning if you're forties or younger, that you're

211
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: going to have to deal with over the next two

212
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: generations is the national debts out of control. And the

213
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: only real way We've told you this before, the only

214
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: real way to fix the national debt is to address

215
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: social security and Medicare. And if you look, I believe

216
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: social Security, Medicare, defense, and the interest. I believe that's

217
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: eighty six percent of the entire federal budget. I think

218
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: that's the number. So even if you eliminated every other

219
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: part of the federal government, eighty six percent of it

220
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: would still exist just based on those four things. And unfortunately,

221
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: as our debt grows, the percentage of interest that we

222
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 1: have to pay on that debt grows massively such that

223
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: we now pay more typically unfortunately now for the debt

224
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: than we do national defense. And there is an argument

225
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: that if you look at history, as soon as the

226
00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: debt expenditures exceed the defense eres your country, your civilization

227
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: has begun a decline. So wah first segment on Tuesday,

228
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: No one in the Democrat Party, no one in the

229
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: Republican Party, really wants to address social security and Medicare,

230
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: and until those issues are addressed, then there is virtually

231
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: no opportunity to balance a budget. That's the reality. Now.

232
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: I agree with Ron Johnson when he says, like, hey,

233
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: we should be going back to pre COVID baseline expenditures.

234
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: That's way better. That's the better solution here in my mind,

235
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: because we basically have embedded the cost of a growing

236
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: government from COVID and we're continuing. And by the way,

237
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: when you have twenty one percent inflation, your expenses are

238
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: going to go up substantially just to keep pace with

239
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: the cost of goods. But this is the reality in

240
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 1: which we live. There's also on the good side of things.

241
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: So I can give you the quick negative overview, not

242
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: of the bill, but just of the US fiscal trajectory is, uh,

243
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: we are not stopping this train at all, really, and

244
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: the next I think four years on the train are

245
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: gonna be awesome. So there's that, right, I think. I

246
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: think the Trump administration, you're gonna see everyone's gonna be

247
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: doing great, and that's fantastic, and you know, that's nothing

248
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: to sneeze at. But the other side of it is,

249
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: we haven't we haven't suffered enough as a country from

250
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: the overspending. When we've suffered enough, people will want to

251
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: do something about it, and we this is I almost

252
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: think it's a waste of time to get into beyond

253
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: that right now, Clay, because every time we could say

254
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: we're spending too much money, look at the math, you

255
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: can just line up. We'll just get calls all day

256
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: from everyone saying you absolutely cannot touch my medicare. Okay,

257
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: that's where we are, and that's what Trump is said.

258
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: You can't trust if you can't touch Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid. Basically,

259
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: there's nothing to talk about people. So we haven't suffered

260
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: enough as a country from the fiscal profligacy, and that

261
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: means that we just got to keep going and keep

262
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 1: on hoping that we grow and grow and grow this economy.

263
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: We got hundreds of billions coming in from the tariffs,

264
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: by the way, which you're hearing. You're not getting a

265
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: lot of conversation about that right now in the media

266
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: because the tariffs are going to bring in additional revenue

267
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: to the government. Remember, we used to fund until the

268
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: twentieth century, we funded this country's government on tariffs overwhelmingly.

269
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: I mean, that was that was the primary source so

270
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: it is a thing. But yeah, hopefully we can grow

271
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: grow the economy much faster and find, you know, greater

272
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: efficiencies that we'll be able to kind of keep riding

273
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: this thing out. But yeah, I'm with you, it's not

274
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: even worth the debt bomb. The debt bomb is ticking,

275
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: nobody wants to fix it, so why whine about it.

276
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: Trump is doing the best thing he can do for

277
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: the economy this year, and hopefully that means we lead

278
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: into better things than the years after it. But yeah,

279
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: that's kind of where I am on this. It's also

280
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: like having the debt ceiling fight. No, it's not even

281
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: fun to talk about it anymore because they're just going

282
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: to raise the debt ceiling if I'm wrong, let me know,

283
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: trying to stir the pot a little bit. Eight hundred

284
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: and two two two eight eight two. Look, we admired

309
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: on X from Aleena Haba, the interim US Attorney for

310
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: New Jersey. She wrote on her X account that Congresswoman

311
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: Lamonica mick Iver had been charged for assaulting, impeding, and

312
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: interfering with law enforcement when she visited the detention center

313
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: a couple other members of Congress back on the ninth

314
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: of May in New Jersey, and then put out a

315
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: statement from her office Clay, no one is above the law,

316
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: politics or otherwise. It is the job of this office

317
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: to uphold justice, impartially regardless of who you are. Now

318
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: we will let the justice system work. She had sought

319
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: a resolution without bringing criminal charges, according to The New

320
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: York Times, but miss McIver declined. She says, now, this

321
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: is Congresswoman mick Iver, that the ICE agents created an

322
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: unnecessary and unsafe confrontation. These charges are entirely political. Of

323
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 1: course we knew she was going to say that. But

324
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 1: you can see body camera footage released by the Department

325
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: of Homeland Security shows Representative McIver getting into it, Clay

326
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: tussling with members of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. One might

327
00:17:54,760 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: even say Clay obstructing, perhaps obstructing an official proceed or

328
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: official law enforcement activity, something that all the cops listing know. Yeah,

329
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: if they're trying to make an arrest and you're like, no,

330
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: that's my buddy, and you hip check the cops so

331
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: that he can't actually put the cuffs on. You're going

332
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: away too, That's not okay. Now there's a lot. There's

333
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,880
Speaker 1: a lot going on here, Clay. Right, there's the law

334
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: and there's the law and order angle of this. The

335
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 1: no one is above the law, which Democrats certainly are

336
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: familiar with as a phrase because they used to say

337
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 1: it with such frequency to justify their absurd prosecutions. Four

338
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: of them one year never been convicted or charged with

339
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: the crime in his entire life, almost eighty years. Trump

340
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,199
Speaker 1: goes without ever committing a crime, and then four in

341
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: one year that also happened to be the same year

342
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: he's running for reelection to be president. Gee, what a coincidence,

343
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 1: Almost like finding out Biden's cancer after the election that

344
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: they had to know about before. Quite a coincidence. But uh,

345
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: for me, this is they created this environment and I'm

346
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,199
Speaker 1: happy having we can talk without the immigration piece of

347
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: this too, Clay, Like, really, they're they're willing to throw

348
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: their physically throw their bodies in front of ice agents

349
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: to stop deportations from happening. Members of Congress, people that

350
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 1: write the laws or at least pretend to write the laws.

351
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: But the law is the law. No one is above it.

352
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: Democrats made us all believe, or rather made us all

353
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 1: hear from them that they believe this, and now they

354
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: have to live with it. And I don't think they're

355
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: going to like the consequences because the Trump administration has decided,

356
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: you know what, we'll take you up on that your

357
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: terms are acceptable. Democrats. I think this was and is

358
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,919
Speaker 1: and this will not surprise you, buck. But what Monica

359
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: mc ivor, the arrested congresswoman, texted, no one is I

360
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: mean tweeted, no one is above the law after Trump

361
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: was arrested. So you know this talking point that they

362
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 1: all had of no is above the law. Clearly they

363
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,919
Speaker 1: thought they were above the law. But it's not a

364
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: good position to be in when you are arrested to

365
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: have on the record called your political adversaries out as

366
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: being as no one as being above the law. Now

367
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: do I think that this is some massively violent behavior

368
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: that she engaged in. No, But I do think that

369
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 1: there are countless people who were involved in January sixth

370
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:37,959
Speaker 1: that engaged in less than what she did on that day,

371
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: that were charged with crimes that were hunted down by

372
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: the FBI that had to plead guilty to minor misdemeanors

373
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: and received massive punishment as a result. So, if you

374
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,199
Speaker 1: put it in that context, what is good for the

375
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: goose is good for the gander, Which is probably a

376
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: phrase that I've never used before in the history of radio,

377
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: but seems apropos here. And I think what it represents

378
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: is there have been a lot of you, and I

379
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 1: am among them, and Buck is among them that said

380
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: the only real way we can end lawfair in this

381
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: country one Trump winning, I think showed Democrats that their

382
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 1: idea of putting him in prison for the rest of

383
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 1: his life and bankrupting him and trying to use the

384
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: full apparatus of the Department of Justice against him as

385
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: well as other state governments in Georgia and New York,

386
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: was not a way that was going to be politically

387
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 1: beneficial to them, and I think the results of the

388
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four election were wildly important for that reason.

389
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: But the second part of this is they have to

390
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 1: feel the danger themselves of law fair redounding at them

391
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: as the paying the consequences here, And I'm curious how

392
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: aggressively the Democrat party will come out and defend her

393
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 1: because I will say this Buck remember the judge in

394
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: Milwaukee that they were saying, oh, like, this is an

395
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: unprecedented act, and then people looked into it, and then

396
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: a grand jury in Milwaukee indicted her. That story's kind

397
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 1: of vanished. They tried to make a lot of hay

398
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 1: of that. I don't think that the average person, because

399
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: it's on video, is going to watch this and say, hey,

400
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: you know what, this woman seems like she's being treated unfairly.

401
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: You know who's not going to all of a sudden

402
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: cry big tears for the situation. Tom Holman, I think

403
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: we could just call it. I think if he had

404
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: a nickname, like if this was Professor Wrestling, it would

405
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: be the Enforcer, because I think he is the enforcer

406
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: of immigration law. Here he is saying that she broke

407
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 1: the law, thiss has cut ten and she's going to

408
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 1: be held to account.

409
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 2: You can push back into President Trump's immigration agenda whatever.

410
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 2: You can protest, but you cannot cross that line. You

411
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 2: can't annoyingly and impede a law enforced and offical ice officer.

412
00:22:59,000 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 1: It's a crime.

413
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 2: You can't annoyingly concealing harbor and aimlypromise you cannot, you know,

414
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 2: commit criminal trespass our facilities and the danger our employees,

415
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 2: and you certainly can't put hands on an ICE agent.

416
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 2: So you know, she's she's going to have to pay

417
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 2: the consequences for doing what she did.

418
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: She broke the law, and we're going hold it accountable.

419
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: This is where we have to be reminded that the Democrats,

420
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 1: despite whatever they may say as a party publicly, and

421
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: I think even that you could argue has trended in

422
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: this direction, but they really don't believe that illegal immigration

423
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: is a crime. They don't believe that it's illegal, and

424
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 1: so to them, anyone who's being held in a detention

425
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: facility for immigration related issues is essentially a political prisoner,

426
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: and therefore whatever they have to do in order to

427
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 1: bring attention to or even impede what's going on is

428
00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 1: morally justified. They and this is what what more and

429
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: more Americans figure this out, we have greater clarity on

430
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: this issue, and we can handle this better. The Democrats

431
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: do not believe that anyone should be punished for being

432
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 1: in the country illegally, and I mean anyone. They fundamentally

433
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: do not believe that if someone is here, it doesn't

434
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: matter if they're a mass murderer on behalf of MS thirteen,

435
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 1: doesn't matter those crimes. Sometimes Democrats will agree this are bad,

436
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 1: like the killing of all the people. Okay, they'll say

437
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: that's bad. Fine, But the crime of status in the

438
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 1: country is not a crime. To them. They do not

439
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:37,239
Speaker 1: believe that there is any infraction worthy of punishment that

440
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: comes from breaking immigration laws. And that is why you

441
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: have members of Congress who will throw their bodies in

442
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 1: the way and scream about this, and you know, all

443
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: this mayhem that they will cause around it. It's because fundamentally,

444
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: once you understand their view of it. Yeah, of course,

445
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 1: like if you and I were sitting here, we're talking

446
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 1: about people who are being locked up for absolutely no

447
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: reason whatsoever in our minds, as we'd say, well, that's

448
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: a huge problem. We've got to address this. That's what

449
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 1: they think about illegals. Yeah, and look, I think the

450
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:12,719
Speaker 1: ultimate question here is why Democrats are still floundering to

451
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 1: such an extent. They're getting arrested to fight for the

452
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: rights of illegal immigrants. They're getting on airplanes to fly

453
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 1: to El Salvador to advocate for wife beating human trafficking

454
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: gang members who should never have been in this country.

455
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of regular, everyday Americans are

456
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: asking the question, why are Democrats willing to fight so

457
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,120
Speaker 1: hard for people who are not citizens of this country

458
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: to continue to be able to illegally break the law here?

459
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 1: And I also think that a lot of people are

460
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: saying that this is indicative of them picking issues that

461
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 1: the average American does not agree with. And the only

462
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: reason this makes sense, the only reason this makes sense

463
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: is they have a plan to one day make all

464
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: of these people citizens of the United States and they

465
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: believe it will benefit them that I mean, is there

466
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 1: any other explanation that remotely makes sense for their behavior

467
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: right now? And let me just point this out. This

468
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 1: is a black congresswoman from New Jersey, right, this is

469
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: where Lamonica mc iver is from. Do you think the

470
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 1: average black constituent, because I bet her district is a

471
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 1: majority black district, that would be my guest. Team. You

472
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: can look that up and I'll correct it. If Lamonica

473
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 1: mc iver has been representing a largely white area of

474
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,959
Speaker 1: the country, I tend to think that's probably unlikely. Do

475
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: you think black constituents of Lamonica mc iver feel as

476
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 1: if they are being strongly represented by their congresswoman when

477
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: she is being arrested outside of an ice detention center.

478
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 1: Is that advocating for their best interest? I think there

479
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 1: are a lot of black residents. We saw this happen,

480
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 1: certainly with more black residents in inner city starting to

481
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: vote Trump. We saw this New York City. We saw

482
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: it in many parts of the country, of New York

483
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: City in particular. But buck, remember all the Chicago Inner

484
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:13,919
Speaker 1: City residents who were saying, wait a minute, you're taking

485
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: over our gyms, our sports bills that our kids are

486
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: supposed to be able to play on, to give benefits

487
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: to illegal filling their kids classrooms with correct kids who

488
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: have a tremendous amount of trauma from the journey, often

489
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,959
Speaker 1: and speak no English, by the way, overwhelmingly, Look, we

490
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: have a limited amount of resources that we have to

491
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: provide support for underprivileged American citizens. And if your community

492
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 1: is feeling like it's underserved, are you looking over your

493
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 1: shoulder saying, Hey, these people who've only been here for

494
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: a couple of months. My families have been here for generations,

495
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 1: for decades, and we're struggling to stay ahead. And you're

496
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 1: going to give resources to all these illegal immigrants. I mean,

497
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 1: just honestly, I can't imagine that congress Woman La Monica

498
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 1: mc ivor that her average constituent says, Hey, this is

499
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: what I want you out fighting for. This is why

500
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 1: we sent you to Washington, d C. And US hard here.

501
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: The Marxists left in this country. I mean, I repeat myself, right,

502
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: but the the the hard left, the true left in

503
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 1: America has replaced uh, the you know, the modern Marxists

504
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 1: have replaced class solidarity with race solidarity, and so the uh,

505
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: the street disruptors, community organizers, social justice brigades, if you will,

506
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: they they now view issues. Remember we talked about this

507
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: even in the contact of Israel Palestine, like what why

508
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: why will you have black members of Congress who are

509
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: over you know, generally speaking, overwhelmingly pro Palestinian. I mean,

510
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: you know, make a case if you have solidarity with

511
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: people who have suffered persecution. The Jews have suffered more

512
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: than their share of persecution historically. But why do black

513
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: American congressmen identify with Palestinians Because Palestinians are considered brown,

514
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: even though there are Palestinians and I've met them. Because

515
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: I've been to the West Bank, et cetera, as has

516
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: Clay now who have red or blonde hair and blue eyes.

517
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: That's a whole other thing, okay, And you know, are

518
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: very very much you would think whier Caucasians. But put

519
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: that aside. They think Palestinians are brown. Therefore, black members

520
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 1: of Congress have a Marxist solidarity, but it's based on

521
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: race with the Palestinians. Same thing with the illegal immigrants.

522
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: At some level, what you're pointing out is what you

523
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: would think Black Democrat members of Congress would focus on

524
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: first and foremost, which is if they are and a

525
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: lot of them are in a predominantly African American Black

526
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: American district. Are illegal immigrants generally making the daily lives

527
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: of Black Americans better in their neighborhoods, in their schools.

528
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: Are they helping the resource allocation that those communities get

529
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 1: or are they a competition for that? And of course

530
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: we know the answer to this. But for the Cameras,

531
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: racial solidarity with the non white illegal immigrants is where

532
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: the left, the Marxists, the social justice construct in this

533
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: country goes. Here's the breakdown, by the way, forty eight

534
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: and a half percent black district twenty one point four

535
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: percent Hispanic, eighteen point eight percent white. So just shy

536
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: of a majority black district, but a massive, substantial overall

537
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: number of the population is black, and it is a

538
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: overwhelming Democrat district by she won in the last congressional

539
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: race based on what I'm looking to here, eighty one

540
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: point four percent of the vote to fifteen point six

541
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: percent to the Republican representative. So I mean again, we're

542
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: talking about, in my opinion, someone who is not representing

543
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: remotely the majority of the citizens of her district, and

544
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: I would think that would not be favorably received. Maybe

545
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: some of you are out there listening to us right

546
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: now in that New Jersey ten congressional district and want

547
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: two weigh in on whether you think she is representing

548
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: you well. Eight hundred two A two two eight a two. Yeah,

549
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 1: definitely give us, give us a call. I've been an

550
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 1: investor in gold for a long time. We're joined now

551
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: by James Blair, White House Deputy Chief of Staff aka

552
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: the Oracle, joining us now. All right, So that's a

553
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 1: pretty cool nickname, uh, And I imagine that doesn't stink

554
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: to be the White House chief of Staff. Deputy that

555
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: is known as the oracle. So let me ask you

556
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 1: for your predictions, oracle, on how the Big Beautiful Bill

557
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 1: is going to go and what should this audience and

558
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: know about it from your perspective.

559
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 6: Appreciate that going to be with you, guys.

560
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 3: I think that the Big.

561
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 6: Beautiful Bill will get out of the House this week.

562
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 6: I think that obviously, if it gets out of the

563
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 6: House this week, then it will go over to the Senate.

564
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 6: They'll work on it for a few weeks, and the

565
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 6: goal is to get it on the President's text by

566
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 6: July fourth, which I think will happen. Look, we've got

567
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 6: to get this done. This bill has so much to love, guys.

568
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 6: First of all, let's talk about the border first and foremost,

569
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 6: which nobody's talking about anymore because the President has driven

570
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 6: illegal border crossings to zero since he came into office.

571
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 6: But this bill funds border enforcement, adds ten thousand new

572
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 6: ICE officers, gives them pay raises, gives us everything we

573
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 6: need logistically to not only keep the border secure for

574
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 6: the president's entire term.

575
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 3: In office so we don't have to come back and

576
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 3: do this.

577
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 6: Again, but also to deport people and get millions of

578
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 6: illegal immigrants out of this country, which is thing that

579
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 6: a majority of the American people support. Secondarily, it gives

580
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 6: us the funding we need for our military. You know

581
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 6: that the President is involved in complex negotiations across the

582
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 6: globe to bring peace that's backed up through strength. And

583
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 6: it gives us the funding to modernize our military and

584
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 6: make sure it's the most lethal fighting force in the

585
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 6: world for the foreseeable future.

586
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 3: But then the big.

587
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 6: Thing that it does that everyone's talking about is the

588
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 6: tax cuts. This renews the President's historic tax cut from

589
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 6: twenty seventeen that was the biggest in history, and then

590
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 6: adds more taxes on top everything he campaigned on. No

591
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 6: tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, no tax

592
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 6: on overtime pay.

593
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 3: It will be the.

594
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 6: Single largest tax cut for middle and working class Americans

595
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 6: in the history of the country. And it will do

596
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 6: that while still generating more than a trillion dollars right

597
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 6: now one point seven trillion dollars in savings for the

598
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 6: American taxpayer, which is twice as much savings that has

599
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 6: ever been delivered by Congress in the last thirty years,

600
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 6: and that was almost thirty years ago under Bill Clinton.

601
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 6: So we're getting the country's fiscal house in order. We're

602
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 6: giving people money back in their pocket that they earned.

603
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 6: We're deregulating, we're unleashing energy, we're securing the border, were

604
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 6: rebuilding the military. We're doing what President Trump campaigned on,

605
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 6: plain and simple. So there's still some little issues being

606
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 6: worked out with a few guys at the edges, but

607
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 6: in the big picture, I think we're right on track

608
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 6: and I think we'll get everybody there.

609
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: James, appreciate you being with us, and certainly a lot

610
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: to be excited about that is in this bill. For

611
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: those who are concerned about the debt, who want the

612
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 1: spirit and action of Doze to be enshrined in some

613
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 1: way in this bill, what do you say to them

614
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: and what can we point to that deals with getting

615
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: that fiscal house in order, not just for this year

616
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: but in the longer term.

617
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, great question. Well, first of all, it's important to

618
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,359
Speaker 6: note that this is by far the biggest savings which

619
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 6: I mentioned a minute ago. But let's put some points

620
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 6: on Back in the back when Bill Clinton was president,

621
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 6: Congress has the package that saved like eight hundred billion

622
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 6: dollars in spending cuts. Okay, this one's looking like one

623
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 6: point six one point seven. Currently they'll still be you know,

624
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 6: iterated on a little bit as it goes through the

625
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 6: Senate and everything, but more than double. Okay, Congress literally

626
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,879
Speaker 6: has not done anything like that in over thirty years.

627
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 6: So right there, those are the biggest savings that we've

628
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 6: ever seen. We're doing something called recisions, which is the

629
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 6: stuff that dojes found this bad stuff. We go out

630
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 6: of Congress votes on it, and what's called a recisions

631
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 6: package that's actually separate from this bill, but then it

632
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 6: permanently pulls out that stuff out of the budget. Okay,

633
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 6: there's savings, and then in that and then you know,

634
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 6: what's not counted in this bill, and it's just a

635
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 6: stupid quirk of how legislative scoring works is tariff revenue.

636
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 6: The President is bringing in hundreds of millions of dollars

637
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:52,280
Speaker 6: of tariff revenue right now, and that money's not being spent. Okay,

638
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 6: that money's not being spent in the big beautiful bill

639
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 6: or anything else. That's just money and the treasury that

640
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 6: goes straight to deficit reduction. So some times, you know,

641
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 6: when they call it the Congressional Budget Office, which kind

642
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 6: of puts out the church, they're not being honest because

643
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 6: they don't add in the tariff for revenue and some

644
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 6: of the recisions and the different things that are happening,

645
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 6: so you're not really seeing.

646
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 3: The full picture.

647
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 6: But the fact is this is a huge step in

648
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 6: the right direction for getting the country on a better

649
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 6: fiscal footing and we're unlocking growth. You know, there's three

650
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 6: things we have to do really to get to a

651
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 6: balanced budget, which the President hopes to achieve at some

652
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 6: point before he leaves office, but you know, at least

653
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 6: in the foreseeable future, we've got to grow. Okay, We've

654
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 6: got to unleash our economy. We do that through tax cuts.

655
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 6: We do that through deregulation. We do that through getting

656
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 6: government out of the way. We're doing that, right, that's

657
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 6: partly the President, partly Congress partly doge all of those

658
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 6: things combined.

659
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:45,280
Speaker 3: Second, we got to do spending reductions.

660
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 6: I already told you the historic nature of those spending

661
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 6: reductions that we're doing.

662
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 3: And then the third.

663
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 6: Thing is we've just got to deregulate, and we've got

664
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 6: to bring more jobs in. And ultimately, you know, in

665
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 6: twenty seventeen, collected more money in taxes, which improved the

666
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 6: fiscal picture as a result of the tax cuts than

667
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 6: we would have if we didn't have the tax cuts.

668
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 6: That's because more jobs were created, more people were paying taxes,

669
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 6: So we've got to add revenue. The tariffs are doing that.

670
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:19,240
Speaker 6: We've got to cut taxes, we've got to cut regulation,

671
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 6: unlock the economy through growth. We're doing that, and then

672
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 6: we've got to do spending reductions. It's going to take

673
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 6: all three of those things concerted effort over.

674
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,439
Speaker 3: A period of time. But if we just stick through it.

675
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 6: Here and we are able to do it for four

676
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 6: years instead of two, which means we have to win

677
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 6: the House majority back in the midterms, then we'll be

678
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 6: able to really be on a great.

679
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 3: Sustainable fiscal path. So I think we're on.

680
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 6: The path, but you know, it's not all going to

681
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:45,360
Speaker 6: be a done in one bill. We're going to have

682
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 6: to do a couple and this is a monumental first step,

683
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 6: way bigger than anyone expected months ago. So we're really

684
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 6: proud of that, and we just got to get it done.

685
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 1: We're talking to James Blaer, White House Deputy chief of Staff.

686
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: You mentioned the border. I also think this is important.

687
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: The tax cuts expire, so for people out there who

688
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: don't realize this. What happens if the bill doesn't pass.

689
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 6: Well, if this bill doesn't pass, first of all, economic

690
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:14,280
Speaker 6: forecasters are said, we're going into a recession because taxes

691
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 6: are going to go through the roof. All of these

692
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:18,720
Speaker 6: tax cuts we passed in twenty seventeen will go away

693
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 6: at the end of this year. Okay, So the average

694
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 6: family is going to pay thousands more in taxes if

695
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 6: the bill doesn't pass next year. Businesses are going to

696
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 6: pay thousands more in taxes. We're not going to have

697
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 6: the money to secure our border.

698
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 3: Okay. All of these terrible things are going to happen.

699
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 3: It will be the.

700
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 6: Largest tax sike in history if this bill doesn't So

701
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 6: that's just not an option.

702
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 3: Right.

703
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 6: If we don't extend the debt ceiling, the country's going

704
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 6: to default on its debt, which could drive us into

705
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:46,760
Speaker 6: a global depression.

706
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 3: Right.

707
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 6: This is not our fault. This is Joe Biden's fault.

708
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 6: We're just here cleaning up the mess, and that's what

709
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 6: we have to do. It's not anything anybody wants to do.

710
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 6: It's something that we have to do. The country can't

711
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 6: default on its debt or people would pay the price

712
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 6: in a master I don't think any of us can

713
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 6: even fathom. And then on the border, look, we've got

714
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 6: to ultimately have money to pay for planes and law

715
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 6: enforcement to get people out of the country, and that

716
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 6: money is coming in this bill, and that.

717
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:14,800
Speaker 3: Is such a critical piece.

718
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 6: Everyone needs to understand that illegal immigrants in this country.

719
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 3: Level that Joe Biden brought.

720
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 6: In are a huge drain on our system. When you

721
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 6: talk about the spending, I mean hundreds of billions of

722
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 6: dollars being cost by illegal immigrants being in this country

723
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 6: and being on public programs are in place for American citizens.

724
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 6: When we get them out of the country, that's actually

725
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 6: going to lower our spending levels massively without doing a

726
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 6: single thing. One of the changes in the Big Beautiful

727
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:49,800
Speaker 6: Bill will be getting millions of illegal immigrants off of Medicaid. Okay,

728
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 6: they're costing medicaid billions of dollars a year. So these

729
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,359
Speaker 6: open borders that we have, we have to not only

730
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 6: have the border secure, but we've got to get these

731
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 6: people out so they stop draining our public resources.

732
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 3: All of this stuff has.

733
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 6: To work together to get our country on the right

734
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 6: fiscal path forward.

735
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 1: Appreciate you being with us. Thank you so much for

736
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 1: giving us some of the details on the big beautiful bill.

737
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: What can you give us a census to what this

738
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: announcement is supposed to be about the Golden Dome.

739
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 6: I'm going to let the President break that news, but

740
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 6: it's very exciting stuff. Look the President and something he's

741
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 6: talked about for a long time. The President wants to

742
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 6: make make sure the homeland is secure. He wants to

743
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 6: make sure that other countries are deterred from ever thinking

744
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:38,720
Speaker 6: about even remotely thinking about attacking our country.

745
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 3: So it's all part of.

746
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 6: His vision of having the most lethal fighting force in

747
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 6: the world. And that is what really gives us the

748
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:49,399
Speaker 6: leverage to sit at the table and demand peace not

749
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 6: only for ourselves and our allies, but everywhere across the

750
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,720
Speaker 6: globe and the world has been better off when America

751
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,839
Speaker 6: has been strong in the world, and that is part

752
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,799
Speaker 6: and parcel having a strong military, part and parcel of

753
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 6: that effort peace through strength.

754
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for the time, Keep up the

755
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: good work and we'll talk to you again soon.

756
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 3: Thank you, guys.

757
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: That's James Blair white House, Deputy Chief of Staff. You're

758
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 1: joined now by James Blair white House Deputy Chief of Staff,

759
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 1: aka the Oracle joining us now. All right, So that's

760
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 1: a pretty cool nickname, and I imagine that doesn't sneak

761
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 1: to be the White House Chief of Staff deputy that

762
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:33,359
Speaker 1: is known as the Oracle. So let me ask you

763
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 1: for your predictions, Oracle, on how the Big Beautiful Bill

764
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: is going to go and what should this audience know

765
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 1: about it from your perspective.

766
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 3: Appreciate it. Good to be with you, guys. I think

767
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 3: that the.

768
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 6: Big Beautiful Bill will get out of the House this week.

769
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 6: I think that obviously, if it gets out of the

770
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,320
Speaker 6: House this week, then it will go over to the Senate.

771
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 6: They'll work on it for a few weeks, and the

772
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,359
Speaker 6: goal is to get it on the President's text by

773
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 6: July fourth, which I think will happen. Look, we've got

774
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:09,240
Speaker 6: to get this done. This bill has so much to love, guys.

775
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 6: First of all, let's talk about the border first and foremost,

776
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 6: which nobody's talking about anymore because the President has driven

777
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,880
Speaker 6: illegal border crossings to zero since he came into office.

778
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 6: But this bill funds border enforcement, adds ten thousand new

779
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 6: ice officers, gives them pay raises, gives us everything we

780
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 6: need logistically to not only keep the border secure for

781
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 6: the president's entire term in office so we don't have

782
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 6: to come back and do this again, but also to

783
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 6: deport people and get millions of illegal immigrants out of

784
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 6: this country, which is something that a majority of the

785
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 6: American people support. Secondarily, it gives us the funding we

786
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 6: need for our military. You know that the President is

787
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 6: involved in complex negotiations across the globe to bring peace

788
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:52,840
Speaker 6: that's backed up through strength. And it gives us the

789
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 6: funding to modernize our military and make sure it's the

790
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,760
Speaker 6: most lethal fighting force in the world for the foreseeable future.

791
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:00,800
Speaker 6: But then the big thing that that does it everyone's

792
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 6: talking about is the tax cuts. This renews the President's

793
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 6: historic tax cut from twenty seventeen that was the biggest

794
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:09,800
Speaker 6: in history, and then adds more taxes on top everything

795
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 6: he campaigned on. No tax on tips, no tax on

796
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:15,319
Speaker 6: Social Security, no tax on overtime pay. It will be

797
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 6: the single largest tax cut for middle and working class

798
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 6: Americans in the history of the country. And it will

799
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 6: do that while still generating more than a trillion dollars

800
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 6: right now one point seven trillion dollars in savings for

801
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 6: the American taxpayer, which is twice as much savings that

802
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:36,879
Speaker 6: has ever been delivered by Congress in the last thirty years,

803
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 6: and that was almost thirty years ago under Bill Clinton.

804
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 6: So we're getting the country's fiscal house in order. We're

805
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,800
Speaker 6: giving people money back in their pocket that they earned.

806
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 6: We're deregulating, we're unleashing energy, We're securing the border, were

807
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 6: rebuilding the military. We're doing what President Trump campaigned on

808
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:55,359
Speaker 6: plane and simple. So there's still some little issues being

809
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:57,360
Speaker 6: worked out with a few guys at the edges, but

810
00:43:57,440 --> 00:43:59,320
Speaker 6: in the big picture, I think we're right on track

811
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:00,959
Speaker 6: and I think we'll get everybody there.

812
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,760
Speaker 1: James, appreciate you being with us, and certainly a lot

813
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 1: to be excited about that is in this bill. For

814
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 1: those who are concerned about the debt, who want the

815
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 1: the spirit and action of Doze to be enshrined in

816
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 1: some way in this bill, what do you say to

817
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:23,359
Speaker 1: them and what can we point to that deals with

818
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 1: getting that fiscal house in order, not just for this

819
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: year but in the longer term.

820
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, great question.

821
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 6: Well, first of all, it's important to note that this

822
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 6: is by far the biggest savings, which I mentioned a

823
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 6: minute ago. But let's put some points on I'm back

824
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 6: in the back when Bill Clinton was president, Congress passed

825
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 6: a package that saved like eight hundred billion dollars in

826
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:48,399
Speaker 6: spending cuts. Okay, this one's looking like one point six

827
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 6: one point seven currently will still be you know, iterated

828
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:53,440
Speaker 6: on a little bit as it goes through the Senate

829
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:55,280
Speaker 6: and everything, but more than double.

830
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:55,800
Speaker 3: Okay.

831
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 6: Congress literally has not done anything like that in over

832
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 6: thirty years. So right there, those are the biggest savings

833
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:04,359
Speaker 6: that we've ever seen. We're doing something called recisions, which

834
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 6: is the stuff that dojes found this bad stuff. We

835
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 6: go out of Congress votes on it, and what's called

836
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 6: a recisions package that's actually separate from this bill, but

837
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 6: then it permanently.

838
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 3: Pulls out that stuff out of the budget. Okay, they're savings.

839
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 6: And then in that and then you know what's not

840
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 6: counted in this bill, and it's just a stupid quirk

841
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 6: of how legislative scoring works is tariff revenue. The president

842
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 6: is bringing in hundreds of millions of dollars of tariff

843
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 6: revenue right now, and that money's not being spent. Okay,

844
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:34,839
Speaker 6: that money's not being spent in the big beautiful bill

845
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 6: or anything else that's just money and the treasury that

846
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 6: goes straight to deficit reduction. So sometimes you know when

847
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,319
Speaker 6: they call it the Congressional Budget Office, which kind of

848
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 6: puts out the charge they're not being honest because they

849
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 6: don't add in the tariff revenue and some of the

850
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 6: recisions and the different things that are happening, so you're

851
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 6: not really seeing the full picture. But the fact is

852
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 6: this is a huge step in the right direction for

853
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:58,959
Speaker 6: getting the country on a better fiscal footing.

854
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:00,720
Speaker 3: And we're on growth.

855
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:02,760
Speaker 6: You know, there's three things we have to do really

856
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 6: to get to a balanced budget, which the President hopes

857
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 6: to achieve at some point before he leaves office, but

858
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 6: you know, at least in the foreseeable future, we've got

859
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:13,920
Speaker 6: to grow. Okay, We've got to unleash our economy. We

860
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 6: do that through tax cuts. We do that through deregulation.

861
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 6: We do that through getting government out of the way.

862
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:21,880
Speaker 6: We're doing that, right, that's partly the President, partly Congress

863
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 6: partly doge all of those things combined.

864
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 3: Second, we've got to do spending reductions.

865
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:28,800
Speaker 6: I already told you the historic nature of those spending

866
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 6: reductions that we're doing. And then the third thing is

867
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:35,399
Speaker 6: we've just got to deregulate, and we've got to bring

868
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:38,320
Speaker 6: more jobs in. And ultimately, you know, in twenty seventeen,

869
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:43,799
Speaker 6: we actually collected more money in taxes, which improved the

870
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 6: fiscal picture as a result of the tax cuts than

871
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 6: we would have if we didn't have the tax cuts.

872
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 6: That's because more jobs were created, more people were paying taxes.

873
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 6: So we've got to add revenue. The tariffs are doing that.

874
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 6: We've got to cut taxes, we've got to cut regulations

875
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:02,799
Speaker 6: the economy through growth, we're doing that, and then we've

876
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 6: got to do spending reductions. It's going to take all

877
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 6: three of those things concerted effort over a period of time.

878
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 6: But if we just stick through it here and we

879
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:12,839
Speaker 6: are able to do it for four years instead of two,

880
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 6: which means we have to win the House majority back

881
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:18,840
Speaker 6: in the midterms, then we'll be able to really be

882
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 6: on a great.

883
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 3: Sustainable fiscal path. So I think we're.

884
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 6: On the path, but you know, it's not all going

885
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 6: to be a done in one bill. We're going to

886
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 6: have to do a couple and this is a monumental

887
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 6: first step, way bigger.

888
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:30,759
Speaker 3: Than anyone expected months ago.

889
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,359
Speaker 6: So we're really proud of that and we just got

890
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 6: to get it done.

891
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 1: We're talking to James Blair, White House Deputy chief of Staff.

892
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:40,320
Speaker 1: You mentioned the border. I also think this is important,

893
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 1: and the tax cuts expire. So for people out there

894
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:47,280
Speaker 1: who don't realize this, what happens if the bill doesn't pass.

895
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:51,120
Speaker 6: Well, if this bill doesn't pass, first of all, economic

896
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:54,480
Speaker 6: forecasters or said, we're going into a recession because taxes

897
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:56,319
Speaker 6: are going to go through the roof. All of these

898
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 6: tax cuts we passed in twenty seventeen will go away

899
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 6: at the end of this year. Okay, So the average

900
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:04,799
Speaker 6: family is going to pay thousands more in taxes if

901
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 6: the bill doesn't pass next year. Businesses are going to

902
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:10,799
Speaker 6: pay thousands more in taxes. We're not going to have

903
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 6: the money to secure our border.

904
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 3: Okay. All of these terrible things are going to happen.

905
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:17,719
Speaker 3: It will be the largest tax hike in history if

906
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:21,040
Speaker 3: this bill doesn't So that's just not an option. Right.

907
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 6: If we don't extend the debt ceiling, the country's going

908
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 6: to default on its debt, which could drive us into

909
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 6: a global depression. Right, this is not our fault. This

910
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:31,879
Speaker 6: is Joe Biden's fault. We're just here cleaning up the mess,

911
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:33,760
Speaker 6: and that's what we have to do. It's not anything

912
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 6: anybody wants to do. It's something that we have to do.

913
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:39,239
Speaker 6: The country can't default on its debt or people would

914
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 6: pay the price in a massive way I don't think

915
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 6: any of us can even fathom. And then on the border, look,

916
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 6: we've got to ultimately have money to pay for planes

917
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 6: and law enforcement to get people out of the country,

918
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,400
Speaker 6: and that money is coming in this bill, and that

919
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 6: is such a critical piece. Everyone needs to understand that

920
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 6: illegal immigrants in this hunt level that Joe Biden brought

921
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:04,960
Speaker 6: in are a huge drain on our system. When you

922
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 6: talk about the spending, I mean hundreds of billions of

923
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 6: dollars being cost by illegal immigrants being in this country

924
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:18,400
Speaker 6: and being on public programs are in place for American citizens.

925
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:20,760
Speaker 6: When we get them out of the country, that's actually

926
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:23,759
Speaker 6: going to lower our spending levels massively without doing a

927
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:26,240
Speaker 6: single thing. One of the changes in the Big Beautiful

928
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 6: Bill will be getting millions of illegal immigrants off of Medicaid. Okay,

929
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:33,440
Speaker 6: they're costing Medicaid billions of dollars a year. So these

930
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 6: open borders that we have, we have to not only

931
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:37,279
Speaker 6: have the border secure, but We got to get these

932
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 6: people out so they stop draining our public resources. All

933
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:42,839
Speaker 6: of this stuff has to work together to get our

934
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 6: country on the right fiscal path forward.

935
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:49,319
Speaker 1: Appreciate you being with us. Thank you so much for

936
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 1: giving us some of the details on the big beautiful bill.

937
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:55,719
Speaker 1: What can you give us a census to what this

938
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,880
Speaker 1: announcement is supposed to be about the Golden Dome.

939
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:03,279
Speaker 6: I'm going to let the President break that news, but

940
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 6: it's very exciting stuff. Look, the President and something he's

941
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:08,360
Speaker 6: talked about for a long time. The President wants to

942
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:11,200
Speaker 6: make make sure the homeland is secure. He wants to

943
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:14,760
Speaker 6: make sure that other countries are deterred from ever thinking

944
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 6: about even remotely thinking about attacking our country. So it's

945
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:21,720
Speaker 6: all part of his vision of having the most lethal

946
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 6: fighting force in the world. And that is what really

947
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:27,799
Speaker 6: gives us the leverage to sit at the table and

948
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:31,759
Speaker 6: demand peace, not only for ourselves and our allies, but

949
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:33,839
Speaker 6: everywhere across the globe and the world has been better

950
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 6: off when America has been strong in the world, and

951
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 6: that is part and parcel. Having a strong military is

952
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:42,400
Speaker 6: part and parcel of that effort peace through strength.

953
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:44,640

954
