So let's give you a big update 96 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 2: on the big beautiful bill. It is a very important 97 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:17,359 Speaker 2: part of Donald Trump's momentum moving forward and could have 98 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 2: a massive impact on lower and middle class Americans especially. 99 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 2: So let's start with where we are now. The Senate 100 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 2: voted fifty one to forty nine along party lines to 101 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 2: move the bill forward into what they describe as formal debate. 102 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 3: Now, you may ask why was. 103 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 2: It so tight of a vote Senator's Tom Tillis, and 104 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 2: we're going to have an update on Tom Tillis in 105 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 2: a moment. What we're hearing after this vote, as well 106 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 2: as Senator Ram Paul. They decided to go with the 107 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 2: Democrats opposing the motion. GOP leaders had to strike last 108 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 2: minute deals to secure the votes, and it did pass 109 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 2: fifty one forty nine to move. Now it is nine 110 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 2: hundred and forty pages long. It is covering a lot. 111 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 2: It's covering tax cuts, it's covering medicaid. It's also covering 112 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 2: snap food stamp benefits. It is expanding border and deportation funding. 113 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 2: It also has defense and clean energy tax changes, as 114 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 2: well as an increased salt deduction cap, as well as 115 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 2: child tax credit changes. Now, here's what this bill looks 116 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 2: like in its grand form, nine hundred and forty pages long. 117 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 2: What we're hearing from the Congressional Budget Office is it 118 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 2: estimates it will add three point three trillion dollars to 119 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 2: the national debt over ten years and result in eleven 120 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:51,239 Speaker 2: million fewered they claim insured individuals by twenty thirty four. 121 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 2: That's what Democrats are seizing on right now to say 122 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 2: this is a terrible bill. But let's talk about what 123 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 2: is actually reality here. Donald Trump coming out praising the 124 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 2: vote as a great victory and pushing this for the 125 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 2: final vote by July fourth, Democrats led by Chuck Schumer 126 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 2: are now forcing and you want to talk about a 127 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 2: moment of hypocrisy, they are actually forcing to stall the vote. 128 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 2: A quote, full reading of the nine hundred and forty 129 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 2: page texts it will be sixteen to twenty hours. Why 130 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 2: are they doing that to slow the proceedings? 131 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 3: Now? 132 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 2: You may remember back in the day when Nancy Pelosi, 133 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 2: referring to Obamacare, said we won't know what's in the 134 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 2: bill until we pass the bill. Apparently now they're more 135 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 2: than happy to read a bill only if it means 136 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 2: stalling Donald Trump's agenda. Now, there have been a lot 137 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 2: of critics, Elon Musk calling it utter insanity, Ram Paul 138 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 2: Modern Child Account provision at and Making Jobs also at 139 00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 2: Elon Musk, Senator Mark Warner calling it a political albatross. 140 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 2: So there's always going to be people that don't like 141 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 2: what is in the bill, and you're hearing from them 142 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 2: right now. The big question is what is next? Well, 143 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 2: Number one, the debate is ongoing as I'm recording this. 144 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 2: Sinners now have a marathon vote, as they described it, 145 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 2: a vote a rama session to propose amendments. And what 146 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 2: Democrats are trying to do is they're trying to tie 147 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,679 Speaker 2: amendments to this bill that would kill the bill, hurt 148 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 2: the bill that no Republican would ever want to vote for. 149 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 2: That is to try to stop the bill from becoming law, 150 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 2: or to postpone this bill so they can get more 151 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 2: things in there that they want. There is also what 152 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 2: we refer to as the sausage being made many Republicans 153 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 2: who aren't hardcore conservative American first individuals. They're wanting something 154 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 2: for their vote. And that doesn't count the Democrats who 155 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 2: are doing a whole hell of a lot of horse 156 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 2: trading as we speak right now. Now you have parliamentarian ruling, 157 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,439 Speaker 2: all right. They have already struck down several provisions under 158 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 2: the Bird rule limits, and that further adjustments are expected 159 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 2: to this bill before the final vote. Once amendments wrap up, 160 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 2: a final Senate vote is likely to happen sometime this week, 161 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 2: possibly or in theory the president is hoping it will 162 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 2: be a July fourth celebration. More than likely, this could 163 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 2: happen on Tuesday, maybe Wednesday, as far away as Thursday 164 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 2: or Friday. Now, if it passes, and many Conservatives expect 165 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 2: that it is going to pass, then it would return 166 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 2: to the House for approval yet again, and then it 167 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 2: would go to Donald Trump's desk for signing, potentially as 168 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 2: he is asking for it before the July fourth, and 169 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 2: that is the goal of the GOP and the administration. 170 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 2: So let's just give a quick recap on what I've 171 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 2: given you in substance. It advanced in the Senate in 172 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 2: a massive fifty one forty nine procedural. 173 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 3: Vote that was the biggest hurdle. 174 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 2: This is the reason why I and the White House believe, 175 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 2: and insiders on Capitol Hill are telling me they believe 176 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 2: this will become law. There are key contents to this 177 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 2: that every American should care about. Number one, and the 178 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 2: biggest thing is broad tax cuts. There's also safety net 179 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 2: reductions for those that deal with waste, fraud, and abuse. 180 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,559 Speaker 2: Many Americans voted for that, and that is where people 181 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 2: are saying, Okay, what's next. There's also the argument that 182 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 2: if we did nothing, we would actually see the deficit 183 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 2: grow at even a faster rate than the three point 184 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 2: three trillion that this is going to cost. So now 185 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 2: you are up to date on where we are at 186 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 2: the very moment and what is happening as we speak. 187 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 2: It is called vote rama. It is voting on amendment 188 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 2: after amendment after they read this bill, which will take 189 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 2: sixteen to eighteen nineteen hours depending on who you talk to, 190 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 2: and then the final votes in the Senate in are 191 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 2: going to happen early this week. Then House concurrence and 192 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 2: then Donald Trump will sign off on this bill, hoping 193 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 2: to celebrate it on the fourth of July, which would 194 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 2: be a very monumental moment for him. So this is 195 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 2: where we are. Could things change? Yes, are their Democrats 196 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 2: right now trying to derail all of this absolutely. By 197 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,959 Speaker 2: the way, there's also Republicans that are trying to derail 198 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 2: this as well, which brings me to my second story. 199 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 2: Tom tillis, one of the two Republicans that vote against 200 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 2: the Big Beautiful Bill, is not running for reelection after 201 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 2: opposing the Big Beautiful Bill. Senator Tom tillis a Republican 202 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 2: from North Carolina, announcing that he's not running for reelection, 203 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 2: and in a statement issued on Sunday, Tillis highlighted how 204 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 2: he is quote proud of his career in public service. 205 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 2: Tillis also expected he is most proud of his bipartisan victories, 206 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 2: such as passing the first nation eugenics compensation as speaker 207 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 2: and working across the aisle in the Senate to pass 208 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,839 Speaker 2: the largest investment in mental health in the history of 209 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 2: the United States of America. Till has continued to admit 210 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 2: that sometimes those bipartisan initiatives got him in trouble with 211 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 2: his own party, saying this in Washington. Over the last 212 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 2: few years, it's been increasingly evident that leaders who are 213 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:32,959 Speaker 2: willing to embrace bipartisanship, embrace compromise, and demonstrate independent thinking 214 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:38,199 Speaker 2: are becoming an endangered species. Democrats recently lost two such 215 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,439 Speaker 2: leaders who were dedicated to making the Senate more of 216 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 2: a functional and productive legislative body. Till Has continued, they 217 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 2: got things done, but they were shunned after they courageously 218 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 2: refused to cave to their party bosses to nuke the 219 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 2: filibuster for the sake of political expediency. They ultimately retired, 220 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 2: and their presence and Senate Chamber has been sorely missed 221 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 2: every day. Till has continued on this grand standing moment 222 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 2: and expressed that he was beyond grateful for his friends 223 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 2: that he had made and added, and that he looked 224 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,959 Speaker 2: forward to continuing to serve North Carolina over the next 225 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 2: eighteen months. Tillis issuing this statement also Saturday, expressing that 226 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 2: he had done his homework on behalf of North Carolinas 227 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 2: and was unable to support the Big Beautiful Bill in 228 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 2: its current form, saying, I did my homework. I cannot 229 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 2: support the bill. It would result in tens of billions 230 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 2: of dollars in loss funding for North Carolina, including our 231 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 2: hospitals and rural communities. This will force the state to 232 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 2: make painful decisions like eliminating Medicaid coverage for one hundreds 233 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 2: of thousands and the expansion population, and even reducing critical 234 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 2: services for those in traditional Medicaid population. So there you 235 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 2: have it now. Donald Trump did have a response to this. 236 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,199 Speaker 2: Trump expressed in a post on True Social that the 237 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 2: people of North Carolina would not allow Tillis to grandstand 238 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,319 Speaker 2: in order to get some publicity for himself, saying, quote, 239 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 2: looks like Center Tillis, as usual, wants to tell the 240 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,559 Speaker 2: nation he's giving them a sixty eight percent tax increase 241 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 2: as opposed to big tax cuts in American history, that 242 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 2: I'm giving them the same time, he's unable to understand 243 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 2: the importance of a dead extension which Republicans gave to 244 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 2: the Democrats just prior to the November fifth election, because 245 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 2: of its significance and how important it was for the 246 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 2: future of the USA. Trump riding in a post. Now, 247 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 2: at the end of the day, Tom Tillis vote the 248 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 2: way he did for one reason because he knew he 249 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 2: couldn't win re election and now he's acting like he 250 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 2: is a martyr. Thank goodness, Donald Trump is involved, and 251 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 2: I'm sure that he will be helping find a great 252 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 2: America first candidate to run. 253 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 3: In that election. 254 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 2: I want to also bring to your attention a story 255 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 2: that's being underreported, especially because it's such massive news for 256 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 2: the Trump administration and law in America. The Supreme Court 257 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 2: has come out with their latest rulings and they have 258 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 2: a sign magnificant impact on the country. The Supreme Court. 259 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 2: The Supreme Court's term came to a close and it 260 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 2: dealt major wins for President Trump and well as well 261 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 2: as the rule of law. Three different cases that I 262 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 2: want to get into here so you understand just how 263 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 2: big they were. Number one was Trump versus Cossa. It 264 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 2: was under the issue of a universal injunctions. And this 265 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 2: is something that was such a big issue because you 266 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 2: had these judges that were basically blocking the present's agenda. 267 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 2: And as they were blocking the agenda of the present, 268 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 2: they were doing it in smaller lower courts. Well, guess 269 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 2: what the Supreme Court says, universal injunctions aren't actually going 270 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 2: to work this way. 271 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 3: Moving forward. 272 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 2: There was also another ruling that was massive as well, 273 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 2: and it dealt with the Free Speech Coalition versus the 274 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 2: State of Texas aka the Attorney General of there Ken Paxton. 275 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 2: It was a six to three ruling as well, and 276 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 2: it held that Texas's age verification law for porn sites 277 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 2: is in fact constitutional. This was a massive victory, especially 278 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 2: after we just had to take it down act where 279 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 2: you could not bully people by putting up fake pictures 280 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 2: of them neked on the internet or revenge pictures maybe 281 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 2: that you received of someone and then throw them up 282 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 2: on the Internet to get revenge. It was making it 283 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 2: clearly against the law and parties had to take it 284 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 2: down immediately. They could also be fine. So you look 285 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 2: at this big fight in Texas, it was very simple. 286 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 2: What this was was a moment where we were trying 287 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 2: to protect those eighteen and under from hardcore pornography on 288 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 2: the internet by using age verification. Now, almost every one 289 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 2: of the porn sites in America had gotten together with 290 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 2: lobbyists to try to stop this, ensuing Texas to try 291 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 2: to say that this was unconstitutional. The Supreme Court came 292 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 2: down the side of Texas, saying they have a right 293 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 2: to protect those eighteen and under from pornography on the 294 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 2: Internet and by using age verification. Now, what is this 295 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 2: going to do, For example, in a place like Texas, 296 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 2: It drafts reduces the amount of time that is spent 297 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 2: on the Internet by underage individuals looking at pornography. And again, 298 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 2: this should be a state's issue, and that's what the 299 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 2: Supreme Court is saying. There was also a third Supreme 300 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 2: Court decision that came down and it was massive Mohammed 301 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 2: versus Taylor. And what this dealt with is it held 302 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 2: that parents of public school children can opt out of 303 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 2: LGBTQ plus curriculum. Now, this is not only a big 304 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:34,160 Speaker 2: win for religious liberty and parental rights, it is also 305 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,159 Speaker 2: another example of why its so important to have school 306 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 2: choice in this country. Now you look at what this 307 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 2: dealt with, and it was very simple. Should a parent 308 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 2: have the right in a public school to be able 309 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 2: to opt their child out of the propaganda that the 310 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 2: Left is trying to force on them when it comes 311 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,159 Speaker 2: to transsexuals, gay, lesbian, bisexual, and everything else under the 312 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 2: LGBTQ plus flag. There are parents that tried to opt 313 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 2: their kids out, and there were schools that said no, 314 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 2: you cannot do it. It's part of the public school curriculum. 315 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 2: And this was obviously taking away parents' rights. Well, now 316 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 2: we know that parents do in fact have a right 317 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 2: to decide what their kids are indoctrinated with, especially when 318 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 2: something is controversy on his radical as the extreme viewpoints 319 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 2: of the LGBTQ activist community. Now you look at all 320 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 2: three of these rulings. If these were rulings in favor 321 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 2: of Joe Biden's agenda, for example, it. 322 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 3: Would be wall to wall coverage. 323 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 2: If this was the rulings of Barack Obama that helped 324 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,719 Speaker 2: him when he was the president, it would have been 325 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 2: wall to wall coverage. But there's a very good chance 326 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,199 Speaker 2: at about ninety nine percent of you listening to me 327 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 2: right now knew nothing about any of these three cases 328 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 2: that all came down in favor of parents in came 329 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 2: down in favor of the Trump agenda and the Trump 330 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 2: White House and his presidency.
