Speaker 1: Vice President Jade Vance is now lifting the veil on
Speaker 1: the mindset of Republican lawmakers who are stuck sitting there
Speaker 1: in the House chamber listening to Hakim Jeffries talk before
Speaker 1: they are allowed to vote. Vance posted this GOP congressman
Speaker 1: just texted me. I was undecided on the bill, but
Speaker 1: then I watched Hakeem Jeffries' performance, and now I am
Speaker 1: a firm Yes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that probably didn't go quite as planned, and
Speaker 2: it's still not really going quite as planned. Fox's Peter
Speaker 2: Doosey on the State of Affairs as I've got to
Speaker 2: hand it to Hakim. Now, I could stand up there
Speaker 2: for over seven hours at this point and you know,
Speaker 2: throw out my arms and rant and ravee a little bit,
Speaker 2: and I do all that. The real challenge, the real
Speaker 2: skill in this type of situation comes in with the uh,
Speaker 2: the bathroom situation. That is the real challenge. You know,
Speaker 2: there's no way that I'm seven hours. I'm throwing my
Speaker 2: arms and I'm shouting and doing the ranting and raving
Speaker 2: without needing a pit stop or two, maybe three. And
Speaker 2: so that is the real scheme, the real skill of HIKEM.
Speaker 2: Jeffries here as he is continuing to use his magic
Speaker 2: minute to hold up the final vote on President Trump's
Speaker 2: One Big Beautiful Bill Act, or at least it's kind
Speaker 2: of like the legislative version of print, because it's the
Speaker 2: act that was formerly known as the One Big Beautiful
Speaker 2: Bill Act. You have good old Chuck Schumer to thank
Speaker 2: for that maneuver. This is obviously not Clay or Buck.
Speaker 2: Brian Mudd, It's a pleasure to be here with you.
Speaker 2: I am broadcasting from my home station w J and
Speaker 2: O in West Palm Beach. It is always a pleasure
Speaker 2: to be here with you. And we have maybe a
Speaker 2: celebration that'll be on our hands before the end of
Speaker 2: the show today. As we look what's going on right
Speaker 2: now in the House, I do wonder the one thing
Speaker 2: that has has gotten me with the King Jeffries and
Speaker 2: his house version of a filibuster.
Speaker 3: Did he take a cue from Sparty?
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, you take a look, SPARTI was
Speaker 2: able to go twenty five hours. If you remember earlier
Speaker 2: this year in the Senate Corey Booker and what we
Speaker 2: learned from him, and speaking of the bathroom situation as well,
Speaker 2: I'm not sold on the idea that he didn't like
Speaker 2: walk into the chamber. You know, some depends handy. But nevertheless,
Speaker 2: the one thing that we did end up learning from
Speaker 2: Corey Booker was that he fasted in advance and then
Speaker 2: only did two glasses of water during the thing. So
Speaker 2: did hit King Jeffries take a que from Sparty? Is
Speaker 2: he going to try to extend his Magic minute? I
Speaker 2: don't know into Independence Day to try to hold out.
Speaker 2: There was a lot of gamesmanship with this. The first
Speaker 2: thing to know, like in this deal, around four four
Speaker 2: o'clock this morning, we were giving.
Speaker 3: The heads up that he's got a speech.
Speaker 2: It's about forty five minutes, maybe an hour, and coming
Speaker 2: out of that yet House Speaker Mike Johnson who said, yeah,
Speaker 2: you know what, by eight thirty this morning, we think
Speaker 2: we're gonna have a vote. We think we are going
Speaker 2: to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill Act over to
Speaker 2: President Trump's desk. So we will be on the Act
Speaker 2: formerly known as the BBB Watch all throughout the course
Speaker 2: of the show as we are monitoring Hakeem Jeffries in
Speaker 2: his Magic minute. By the way, the rule on the
Speaker 2: Magic minute in the howse Hi King can't leave. It's
Speaker 2: not like he can say time out. I'm gonna go
Speaker 2: take that pit stop.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 2: The moment that he's done, he leaves that podium, he's out,
Speaker 2: it's over, and.
Speaker 3: Mike Johnson can call for the vote.
Speaker 2: So he does have to stand there in talk until
Speaker 2: he evidently can't anymore or whatever. His end game here
Speaker 2: is planned. So as we are diving in to a
Speaker 2: Independence Day weekend with what looks like maybe President Trump's
Speaker 2: entire agenda to celebrate Unindependence Day this year, I couldn't
Speaker 2: help it to think of Liberation Day meeting Independence Day,
Speaker 2: and so I'll explain, you know, technically Liberation Day, Liberation Day,
Speaker 2: remember that April second. That was April second. It was
Speaker 2: widely misunderstood at the time. Led her to a real
Speaker 2: short term freak out. A lot of people are not
Speaker 2: feeling so liberated, feeling a little tight in the chest,
Speaker 2: a little nervous when I'm taking a look at the
Speaker 2: stock market.
Speaker 3: That kind of thing.
Speaker 2: Created a historically great buying opportunity in the financial markets.
Speaker 2: So that's what Liberation Day was. The whole tiar thing
Speaker 2: where you had all the economists that are always wrong
Speaker 2: and say, oh my gosh, this guy is going and
Speaker 2: then people that are smart going, hold on, Donald Trump
Speaker 2: is president of the United States. This is going to
Speaker 2: be great by and so there was that. But anyway,
Speaker 2: so you had a Liberation Day. Now you've got Independence
Speaker 2: Day tomorrow and generally understood, right, we get Independence Day
Speaker 2: also probably underappreciated, certainly in places like I don't know,
Speaker 2: New York City, but anyway, you know, and thinking about
Speaker 2: Independence Day this year, liberation also came to mind because
Speaker 2: I thought back, I'm like, I kind of remember where
Speaker 2: I was personally a year ago today. And so what
Speaker 2: I actually did in advance of today's show is I
Speaker 2: went back to a year ago, and I'm like, what
Speaker 2: was I talking about? And in my top stories a
Speaker 2: year ago, my message was that Independence Day is one
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty five days away, and sanity would be
Speaker 2: restoring two hundred and one days, because we were out
Speaker 2: the point where I was like literally counting down the
Speaker 2: days until election Day and Inauguration Day when dementia Joe
Speaker 2: would finally go. And among the headlines, among the headlines
Speaker 2: nationally a year ago today, you had dementia Joe pledging
Speaker 2: that he was going to stay in the presidential race.
Speaker 2: After the Botch debate, we had a story that he
Speaker 2: had just given billions more to Ukraine, because I mean,
Speaker 2: you know, why not, right, I'm sure, Zelenski asked nicely. Also,
Speaker 2: the New York judge in the stormy freaking Daniel's hush
Speaker 2: money case announced that he had delayed the Trump sentencing.
Speaker 3: That's where we were a year ago today. Those were
Speaker 3: the big stories.
Speaker 2: Oh and an average of nearly ten thousand illegal immigrants
Speaker 2: still pouring into the country per day. That's fun. So
Speaker 2: that right now what we're talking about. One of our
Speaker 2: biggest concerns is simply the timing of this final vote
Speaker 2: in what looks like a very likely outcome for President
Speaker 2: Trump being able to sign his agenda into law on
Speaker 2: Independence Day. And also, you know, kind of like calculating
Speaker 2: how much is my tax saving's going to be? What
Speaker 2: what is my tax cut gonna look, which, by the way,
Speaker 2: coming up in the second hour, I'm going to get
Speaker 2: into that. If you want to know what does the
Speaker 2: BBB mean to you, I'm gonna give it to you
Speaker 2: very specifically, because there's so much more money on the
Speaker 2: line here that I think even some of the more
Speaker 2: credible sources that have reported this have brought to you
Speaker 2: so we're gonna break it all down. You're going to
Speaker 2: know exactly what this means to you and your family
Speaker 2: when you take a look at how much better of
Speaker 2: a place we're in. We can get more specific here
Speaker 2: with some of these things.
Speaker 5: So you.
Speaker 2: We had an incredible jobs report this morning that came
Speaker 2: in well better than expected. Unemployment rate dropped yet again.
Speaker 2: The inflation rate. The inflation rate at two point four
Speaker 2: percent right now. You know, it's the lowest that it's
Speaker 2: been since Trump was one month removed from previously having
Speaker 2: been president of the United States. Last time we had
Speaker 2: inflation as low as it is right now, one month
Speaker 2: after he was last president. And by the time you
Speaker 2: factor in wage growth. All right, so how much more
Speaker 2: is the average household bringing in now? The answer is
Speaker 2: four point three percent. Okay, so most recently, the average
Speaker 2: American family, we finally get in the head again, we're
Speaker 2: doing about nearly two percent better. You know. So you
Speaker 2: get done paying your bills at the end of the month,
Speaker 2: what's left over You got about two percent more than.
Speaker 3: You had before. That is the best quality of life
Speaker 3: improvement that we've seen since Trump's previous presidency, since his
Speaker 3: first administration. Look a year ago.
Speaker 2: Today SMP five hundred thirteen percent higher four one k
Speaker 2: balances saving rates they've hit record highs. And as you
Speaker 2: hit the road for independent state gas prices forty cents
Speaker 2: per gallon and lower than a year ago. Today, you
Speaker 2: have one hundred and ninety billion dollars in government waste
Speaker 2: that's been dozed. By the way, I mean, like doze
Speaker 2: really has stopped dozing since Elon Gonzo, but still ended
Speaker 2: up saving eleven hundred and eighty dollars.
Speaker 3: Per federal taxpayer, not peanuts.
Speaker 2: On immigration, the Lincoln Riley Act now law attempted border
Speaker 2: crossings down ninety three percent. Access into the United States
Speaker 2: down by ninety nine percent. The CBP one home map
Speaker 2: that was used by the Buiden administration to fly nearly
Speaker 2: a million illegal immigrants into this country. Yeah, not so
Speaker 2: much anymore, right, thats ay, Matt being used to say,
Speaker 2: see to fly illegal immigrants out of this country. On
Speaker 2: that note, isis daily detentions of fifty three percent over
Speaker 2: a year ago. Oh and by the way, surprise, surprise,
Speaker 2: because as detentions rise, guess what's falling.
Speaker 3: I look at that less crime, a lot less crime.
Speaker 2: In fact, did you know homicides down by twenty one
Speaker 2: percent so far this year.
Speaker 3: Robberies are two.
Speaker 2: Property crime sixteen percent lower, violent crime in general down
Speaker 2: by eleven percent two and the biggest impact a lot
Speaker 2: of times the biggest cities with the biggest illegal immigrant
Speaker 2: population problems, like Denver and Aurora. So it's of absolutely
Speaker 2: no surprise, in part because one of the things I've
Speaker 2: been tracking about a year ago in like what what
Speaker 2: are we doing? Like the definition of insanity territory, Who
Speaker 2: in their right mind would do this to a country?
Speaker 2: By this time last year, twenty four percent of all
Speaker 2: drug trafficking done in the United States have been done
Speaker 2: by illegal immigrants. Twenty four percent. You wanted to get
Speaker 2: rid of just almost a quarter of all drug trafficking,
Speaker 2: get rid of the illegal immigrants, twenty five percent of
Speaker 2: all property crimes, illegal immigrants. You want to get rid
Speaker 2: of a quarter of all property crime in this country,
Speaker 2: just get the people. They are not legally here in
Speaker 2: the first place. The heck out, twenty eight percent of
Speaker 2: all fraud. Yeah, non citizens, non citizens, And you know
Speaker 2: the lie. I remember hearing this even somewhat recently on
Speaker 2: by one of the idiots on the view. Oh well,
Speaker 2: you know, they are less likely to commit crime than you.
Speaker 2: That is such a lie.
Speaker 3: I mean it might have.
Speaker 2: Actually been true, like thirty years ago when you had
Speaker 2: a Mexican who came over to pick some oranges.
Speaker 3: No, not in a very long time.
Speaker 2: The non citizen crime rate by a year ago at
Speaker 2: this point, how much more likely do you think a
Speaker 2: non citizen had become to commit a crime than you, like, well,
Speaker 2: I don't know, I mean, yeah, kind of a shaky person.
Speaker 2: You could be a shaky person and the uh, your
Speaker 2: average non citizen was still going to blow you away.
Speaker 2: They had become nine times more likely to commit a
Speaker 2: crime than the average legal citizen. Again, not necessarily the
Speaker 2: biggest surprise when you know the first action by said
Speaker 2: individual is to you know, kind of say, uh, I'm going.
Speaker 3: To ignore federal law.
Speaker 2: So yeah, none necessarily a surprise that once their first
Speaker 2: action is to break the law, that then suddenly they
Speaker 2: don't go But now straighten me, even I just want
Speaker 2: to abide by all the laws this country.
Speaker 3: I really care about it.
Speaker 5: M hm.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's how bad it had become Your average
Speaker 2: non citizen in this country nine hundred and fourteen percent
Speaker 2: more likely to commit crimes than the average legal citizen.
Speaker 2: And in fact, if you take a look, during the
Speaker 2: whole four year window of the Buying administration, total crimes
Speaker 2: committed by non citizens rose by six hundred and twenty
Speaker 2: six percent. I mean, they're just mind blowing numbers. But
Speaker 2: then again, you know, we know the impact and the
Speaker 2: situation with all the open borders, and that is just
Speaker 2: on those two pieces. I'll pick up there next Brian
Speaker 2: mudd In for claim bug drive a new hyunday with
Speaker 2: just ninety eight dollars down like a new twenty twenty
Speaker 2: five hundred. People will suffer, people will die, and it
Speaker 2: will be at the hands of Republicans.
Speaker 4: Both.
Speaker 3: Yes, that's right.
Speaker 2: In fact, that's actually that wasn't the planning that went
Speaker 2: in to the Act formally known as the BBB. You
Speaker 2: had some Republicans that got around and said, you know what,
Speaker 2: we haven't done in a while, we haven't created any
Speaker 2: legislation that's sort of killing people. And you know what,
Speaker 2: you're right, So you know, I think we should should
Speaker 2: get back to our roots. We are Republicans, after all,
Speaker 2: so we should craft red legislation that kills people. And
Speaker 2: then you know, for example, in the event that the
Speaker 2: warm and fluffy migrants that are sent to alligator Alcatraz
Speaker 2: and the event that they don't, you know, manage to escape,
Speaker 2: we have, you know, people to feed to the to
Speaker 2: the alligators. Sits just the rhetorica is just so over
Speaker 2: the top in so many different respects. And I tell
Speaker 2: you what, just say, noticed slugs the whole Medicaid thing
Speaker 2: and this is is such a joke. And I'm going
Speaker 2: to break down specifically what the work requirements are with
Speaker 2: the Medicaid and the snap provisions in the Act formerly
Speaker 2: known as the BBB, and just a few we'll get
Speaker 2: to that. I mean it basically, if you get off
Speaker 2: your couts for twenty hours in a week, you're good.
Speaker 5: You're good.
Speaker 2: That's pretty much the way it works. So that's what
Speaker 2: and apparently that's killing somebody to actually do that. So
Speaker 2: Brian mutt In for Clay and Buck and as we
Speaker 2: are on BBB, watch as Hakeem Jeffries going strong, going
Speaker 2: strong in the House joining us is great television. And
Speaker 2: iHeartRadio's White House correspondent John Decker, John, this's a bit
Speaker 2: unexpected from the House Minority leader.
Speaker 6: Well, it is unexpected to a certain extent, but Hakem Jeffries,
Speaker 6: he is one of those leaders in the Democratic Party
Speaker 6: and he's acting like a leader for his party right
Speaker 6: now in terms of delaying what to me, Brian is
Speaker 6: the inevitable, and it is inevitable that we saw this
Speaker 6: in the procedural vote that took place early this morning.
Speaker 6: We'll see it on the actual vote that takes place.
Speaker 6: When that occurs on the House floor, every Republican that
Speaker 6: values their career in the House of Representatives and their
Speaker 6: future career in the House of Representatives will vote for
Speaker 6: the legislation and this bill will get to the President's
Speaker 6: desk for his signature in time before that self imposed
Speaker 6: deadline July the fourth.
Speaker 3: That will be a part I believe of.
Speaker 6: The President's schedule tomorrow, the President assigning this legislation his signature,
Speaker 6: domestic achievement of his second term in the White House,
Speaker 6: getting that all done sooner than when he got that
Speaker 6: big tax cut bill sign in his first term in
Speaker 6: the White House.
Speaker 2: And to give you a little background about John if
Speaker 2: you're maybe not familiar, John has covered every president starting
Speaker 2: with Bill Clinton. He also is the only member of
Speaker 2: the White House Press Corps that is an attorney, having
Speaker 2: studied once upon a time under one professor Jonathan Turley
Speaker 2: Decker now himself a professor at Georgetown UCLA and John
Speaker 2: as we take a look at, you know, the historical
Speaker 2: ramifications here. Obviously, you know, Trump wanted one bill. There
Speaker 2: are a lot of conservatives that said, hey, we need
Speaker 2: to do this in two. The Senate wanted it into
Speaker 2: In the end, you take a look at the the
Speaker 2: President's influence, the will and how this has come together
Speaker 2: a to get the Senate on board with one bill
Speaker 2: and then be the House. I mean, you had House
Speaker 2: Freedom Caucus members like chip Roy just two days ago
Speaker 2: saying that what the Senate had done was a literally
Speaker 2: a deal killer of an already bad deal. And here
Speaker 2: we are on the precipice of whenever Hikema has done
Speaker 2: doing what he's doing, passing this thing.
Speaker 6: Well, that's right, you know. As for chip Roy, you know,
Speaker 6: I think time and time again he's proven that he's
Speaker 6: all bark and no bite. You know, he threatens not
Speaker 6: to vote for the legislation and ultimately caves in, as
Speaker 6: do other House Republicans that want to make a career
Speaker 6: of being a member of the House of Representatives. So
Speaker 6: does it surprise me that, you know, Chick Roy, a
Speaker 6: member of the Freedom Caucus, and other members of the
Speaker 6: Freedom Caucus are caving in. No, it doesn't, you know,
Speaker 6: because President Trump has the ultimate power, and that is
Speaker 6: something that he has threatened to wield, and that is
Speaker 6: essentially saying, you vote against this legislation, your career as
Speaker 6: a member of Congress is over.
Speaker 3: That's a very real threat.
Speaker 6: He's not afraid, interestingly enough, Brian, of making that threat outwardly.
Speaker 6: You know, normally those are the kind of threats that
Speaker 6: you make behind closed doors. He puts it on truth
Speaker 6: social He makes everybody aware of what he's saying to
Speaker 6: these members that may be on the fence in terms
Speaker 6: of supporting the big beautiful bill.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: John, One of the other things I was thinking about,
Speaker 2: you take a look out where we are today in
Speaker 2: Trump's presidency. So you know, the first time around, he
Speaker 2: signed two hundred and twenty executive orders in four years.
Speaker 2: He signed believe it's one hundred and sixty five already,
Speaker 2: three more than President Biden and Team Autopen did already
Speaker 2: in just over five and a half months. And you
Speaker 2: take a look at you know, his tax cut and
Speaker 2: jobs Act his Trump tax cuts. The first summer, it
Speaker 2: took until December the first go round to be able
Speaker 2: to get his tax cuts through. Here we are heading
Speaker 2: into the Independence Day weekend, and it looks like he's
Speaker 2: not only going to get those tax cuts made permit,
Speaker 2: he's going to get the additional tax cuts he promised,
Speaker 2: a no tax on tips overtime, also some big breaks
Speaker 2: for seniors that for most seniors going to work, basically
Speaker 2: like not having tax on Social Security income. You start
Speaker 2: putting all this together, and it just shows how well
Speaker 2: oiled and organized his policy approach is and how effective
Speaker 2: he is.
Speaker 4: Agree with you.
Speaker 6: You know, this is a president who in his first
Speaker 6: term he clearly was someone who is learning the ropes
Speaker 6: from insiders. He had never been a politician before at
Speaker 6: any level before becoming president, and so he did rely
Speaker 6: on others in terms of showing him how to move
Speaker 6: legislation forward. This time around, he doesn't need that help.
Speaker 6: And this time around he understands all the levers of
Speaker 6: the power of the presidency. He realizes how powerful this
Speaker 6: office is, made even more so powerful by that recent
Speaker 6: Supreme Court decision handed down last week.
Speaker 5: And so, look, I think that this is a.
Speaker 6: President that understands all the ways that he can move
Speaker 6: his agenda forward, and we're seeing it applied in real time.
Speaker 6: I think it's pretty remarkable. You know, there will be
Speaker 6: this will be a part of history, you know, in
Speaker 6: terms of the way that the president has managed to
Speaker 6: move his agenda forward in such a record amount of time.
Speaker 2: John, you're with the president last week at the NATO summit,
Speaker 2: and pretty remarkable situation. He tried to get it done
Speaker 2: his first term. It was starting to come together. It is,
Speaker 2: you know, ultimately coming together now where the NATO members
Speaker 2: this out of Spain contributing five percent of their GDP
Speaker 2: to you know, to to defense spending and pretty much
Speaker 2: getting not just what we've seen here at home, which
Speaker 2: is his own party in order to get his agenda done,
Speaker 2: but also around the world. How he's managing to get
Speaker 2: that agenda done, especially with trade now too.
Speaker 6: Well, that's exactly right, Brian. You know, that's the thing
Speaker 6: about President Trump. He understands the leavers of power in
Speaker 6: terms of moving his domestic agenda forward, and he understands
Speaker 6: the leavers of power in terms of moving his foreign
Speaker 6: policy agenda forward. And this is part of his foreign
Speaker 6: policy agenda when he left that NATO summit last week
Speaker 6: in the Netherlands, and as you point out, I covered
Speaker 6: that summit. I was in the Hague for the summit.
Speaker 6: I was at the press conference. He called on me
Speaker 6: at the press conference. When he left, he was exuberant
Speaker 6: because everyone of his goals was achieved during the course
Speaker 6: of his summit. And I think he made it clear
Speaker 6: to every one of the thirty one other members of
Speaker 6: the NATO Defense Alliance there is one leader, and that
Speaker 6: leader at the United States of America, and the President
Speaker 6: is the leader of the United States of America, and
Speaker 6: he's going to exert his power, his influence to get
Speaker 6: his way with those other NATO Defense Alliance members. We
Speaker 6: saw that play itself out last week. So, you know,
Speaker 6: for all of those who were saying it's been a
Speaker 6: remarkable two weeks for the president, I couldn't agree more.
Speaker 6: It has been a remarkable two weeks for the president,
Speaker 6: including of course that those attacks on those three nuclear
Speaker 6: sites in Iran. So to me, you know, this is
Speaker 6: some one who has a winning streak going and obviously
Speaker 6: would like to keep that winning streak going beyond ultimately
Speaker 6: signing this big, beautiful bill.
Speaker 5: With him the next few days.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's definitely not tired of winning. Yet a lot
Speaker 2: of people are not tired of winning within the administration.
Speaker 2: And also China announcing that yeah, you know, the terms
Speaker 2: of the trade deal are on the English trade deal.
Speaker 2: The UK trade deal actually took effect this week, just
Speaker 2: announced the Vietnam trade deal. Where they were charging us
Speaker 2: to do business there, now they're not. We weren't charging
Speaker 2: them anything, now we are. I mean, it just goes
Speaker 2: on and on, and it gives you a roadmap for
Speaker 2: where a lot of those trade deals are probably going
Speaker 2: to land to. And then you talk about like the
Speaker 2: the mops and that whole situation, you know, the Defense
Speaker 2: Department yesterday talking again about Yeah, I mean, at a minimum,
Speaker 2: the nuclear program set back a couple of years, and
Speaker 2: that to me was always one of the things anyway,
Speaker 2: and you know, you spend it's an occupational hazard. You
Speaker 2: spend a lot of time around colleagues in the press
Speaker 2: corps that were endlessly you know, trying to you know,
Speaker 2: say that you know, somehow or another, the linked information
Speaker 2: or you know, whoever wanted to say that the nuclear
Speaker 2: program wasn't really damaged more than it was.
Speaker 3: I mean, there just is no sense in this, right.
Speaker 2: I mean, ultimately, if Trump was propagandizing, you just walk
Speaker 2: with it and you think, okay, well he is, you know,
Speaker 2: just saying that they got and they really didn't. So
Speaker 2: what you know, you have Iran that comes back in
Speaker 2: six months and says, surprise, we've got nukes. I mean,
Speaker 2: there just is no way to effectively propagandize that situation.
Speaker 2: It either happened, is either destroyed, or it wasn't.
Speaker 6: I agree, you know, I think that you know, even
Speaker 6: those who want to get that readout from the administration,
Speaker 6: Democrats on the Foreign Relations Committee in either the House
Speaker 6: of the Senate, have to acknowledge that the Iranian nuclear program,
Speaker 6: it's nuclear ambitions have been set back substantially because of
Speaker 6: the action taken by the United States. And you know,
Speaker 6: you mentioned, you know, all of the things related to
Speaker 6: while why the president can't just propagandize this issue. He
Speaker 6: can't propagandize this issue. I mean we're talking about also
Speaker 6: Israel's safety and security. Israel's not going to propagandize this
Speaker 6: because they're very security. Their existential existence depends upon Iran's
Speaker 6: nuclear program being curtailed. Back to you, know zero essentially,
Speaker 6: and you know, when we hear from Israeli intelligence they're
Speaker 6: satisfied with the actions taken by the United States.
Speaker 3: I think that says a lot.
Speaker 6: You know, if they weren't, maybe they would be saying
Speaker 6: you need another go around, you know, in terms of
Speaker 6: taking it out altogether. They're not saying that, Brian, that
Speaker 6: they're saying it has been in the President's word, he
Speaker 6: uses obliterated. It has been obliterated, it has been decimated.
Speaker 6: I think that those two words certainly apply to Aron's
Speaker 6: nuclear program right now.
Speaker 3: Brian mudw with John Decker. One more for you.
Speaker 2: John so mentioned that John is the only member of
Speaker 2: the Press Corps that's also an attorney. So putting your
Speaker 2: legal hat on for the whole Didty situation. So we
Speaker 2: get the verdict and not guilty of the most serious charges,
Speaker 2: Judge is holding him in jail until sentencing.
Speaker 3: What do you make of this deal?
Speaker 6: I don't know, you know, I mean, as you know,
Speaker 6: it's a substantial bond that he needs to post. I
Speaker 6: believe it's fifty million dollars, and that's the reason why
Speaker 6: he has remained behind bars for all of this period
Speaker 6: of time. I don't know, you know, maybe that it
Speaker 6: gives you a window about what kind of sentence he
Speaker 6: intends to hand down against Didty, But you know, as
Speaker 6: the interest on the face of it, as you know,
Speaker 6: he really skirted the possibility of very serious prison time.
Speaker 6: Remember this is a federal case because of the fact
Speaker 6: that he was acquitted on the most serious charges. For
Speaker 6: the two counts that he was found guilty of, they
Speaker 6: have maximum penalties of ten years in prison. He will
Speaker 6: not get ten years in prison. You know, he's a
Speaker 6: non violent offender, someone who's not a repeat offender. I
Speaker 6: can't tell you what the judge is ultimately going to
Speaker 6: sentence did he two in terms of a jail sentence,
Speaker 6: a prison sentence, but it won't be anywhere near that
Speaker 6: tenure maximum sentence. And certainly his lawyers are going to
Speaker 6: ask for no jail sentence, a time served for all
Speaker 6: of the amount of time that he's served in prison,
Speaker 6: and will see ultimately whether that federal judge agrees with that.
Speaker 6: And let's not forget the president has the power of
Speaker 6: the pardon. And it would not surprise me. Nothing surprises
Speaker 6: me these days, Brian. It would not surprise me if
Speaker 6: did he get the pardon from the.
Speaker 5: Residents of the United States.
Speaker 6: So we'll have to wait wait and honey, you know,
Speaker 6: I mean, he's got a lot of big things on
Speaker 6: his plate right now. But that would not surprise me
Speaker 6: in the least.
Speaker 3: Really. I mean that one was was not on my
Speaker 3: bingo card. So that is that is interesting.
Speaker 2: So Decker pointing, pointing to the outfield right now, and
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens there. That would be uh, that
Speaker 2: would be an interesting development. John really appreciate it. Thank
Speaker 2: you so much for tom the inside.
Speaker 5: Thanks Brian, talk to you soon. Byebye.
Speaker 2: All right, and again great television and iHeartRadio White House
Speaker 2: correspondent John Decker. I'm Brian mudd in for Clay and Buck.
Speaker 2: Twenty four a weekly podcast from Clay and Buck covering
Speaker 2: all things Election.
Speaker 3: Episodes drops Sundays at noon Eastern.
Speaker 2: Find it on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you
Speaker 2: get your podcasts.
Speaker 7: This bill, over the next year, we are going to
Speaker 7: see growth like we have not seen and importantly, it
Speaker 7: is going to be non inflationary growth, which is something
Speaker 7: that Democrats couldn't do.
Speaker 2: Treasury Secretary of Scott Basset, he was on with Maria
Speaker 2: Brock Tromo Bock's business this morning.
Speaker 3: And we are going to unleash growth.
Speaker 2: We are already seeing the lowest inflation we've had since
Speaker 2: basically Trump was last president. And yeah, we are going
Speaker 2: to see in time for independence, say a big beautiful
Speaker 2: bill on President Trump's desk, or at least the act
Speaker 2: that was previously known as the BBB, as soon as
Speaker 2: Hikeem Jeffries gets done doing his thing, his sparty impersonation
Speaker 2: right now. He was apparently motivated by Corey Booker, and
Speaker 2: he is making his last stand. And somebody who's joining us,
Speaker 2: Brian mud In for claim buck. Somebody who's joining us
Speaker 2: has been entertained by today's festivities. I'm sure Congressman Jimmy
Speaker 2: Patron is joining us now. Jimmy, how's it been taken
Speaker 2: in the festivities with HIKEM today?
Speaker 4: I would rather have root canals without any nova Kane.
Speaker 4: This has been the biggest colossal waste of time. We
Speaker 4: are delaying savings and benefits to the American taxpayer right
Speaker 4: now with ridiculous you know, shows like this right now.
Speaker 4: Hakem has been up there now since three point thirty
Speaker 4: in the morning. We've all been awake watching this, and
Speaker 4: it's all because he wants to break Kevin McCarthy's record
Speaker 4: for speaking the longest on the floor NonStop.
Speaker 5: This is this is the type of.
Speaker 4: Like the Congress.
Speaker 2: Hey, Jeffy, you were saying that it looks like it's
Speaker 2: a it's about to come to close right a round
Speaker 2: one thirty.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's what That's what we're anticipating. But who
Speaker 4: he's gonna go. And I look, I didn't mean to
Speaker 4: go off on you just like that, but Brian, you're
Speaker 4: you're my pal, and I think I can be candid
Speaker 4: with you and and the public doesn't deserve this type
Speaker 4: of ridiculousness.
Speaker 2: Now you're you're I think right on point. I think
Speaker 2: he kind of captured the field of the thing. You know,
Speaker 2: the only thing I'm impressed by is just the lack
Speaker 2: of the need for a bathroom break. You know, I
Speaker 2: could stand up there and throw my arms a ran
Speaker 2: rave two. But you know, it's it's impressive. I don't
Speaker 2: know if he did the fasting thing like Sparti did
Speaker 2: in the Senate, but you know, you got to get
Speaker 2: the guy credit at least for not needing to make
Speaker 2: a pit supper too.
Speaker 4: Well, I'll tell you he does not look good. From
Speaker 4: the time he has started at the time he is now.
Speaker 4: You could see he keeps on pat and himself. He
Speaker 4: does not look good. He looks pale. So anyway, I'm
Speaker 4: sure he's tired, you know, good for him. I have
Speaker 4: no idea what he's been talking about.
Speaker 2: All right, Jimmy, So a couple of things. First about
Speaker 2: Jimmy Patron is he He is a congressman from Florida.
Speaker 3: He took over the.
Speaker 2: Matt Gates seat in the special election recently. Previously that
Speaker 2: was Florida's CFO. And Jimmy the reason I wanted to
Speaker 2: talk to you today. You got a lot of us
Speaker 2: that are fiscal conservatives. You got a lot of us
Speaker 2: that take a look at debt, the federal deficit, the
Speaker 2: federal debt, and we're like, you know what, the BBB
Speaker 2: doesn't look like such a beautiful thing when you see
Speaker 2: some of these projections. And even if the CBO stuff
Speaker 2: doesn't factor in enough growth, what have you. I mean,
Speaker 2: he's still kind of hard to get from here to
Speaker 2: there and feel good about it. From a fiscal conservative perspective,
Speaker 2: I mean, tax stuff is awesome, you know, takeing care
Speaker 2: of border and all the illegal immigration nonsense. I mean,
Speaker 2: so much good in here, but I mean when we
Speaker 2: do still have a bill that has you know, illegal immigrants,
Speaker 2: criminal illegal immigrants being able to get access to medicaid,
Speaker 2: I mean, you do kind of scratch your head.
Speaker 3: With some of this stuff.
Speaker 2: So what I want you to be able to do is,
Speaker 2: from the perspective, put yourself back in your old shoes.
Speaker 2: I know you're getting ready to vote in favor of
Speaker 2: the act here momentially, but I want you to put
Speaker 2: yourself back in your CFO shoes of the third largest
Speaker 2: day in the country that has a balanced budget. As
Speaker 2: someone who I know is deeply convicted as a fiscal conservative,
Speaker 2: and I want you to tell us why you're voting
Speaker 2: for this and also why those of us who are
Speaker 2: physical conservatives that are concerned maybe shouldn't be so the.
Speaker 4: One And I think it's probably the ones that are
Speaker 4: the easiest for people to understand, whether we talk about
Speaker 4: the no tax on tips or the no tax in overtime. Now,
Speaker 4: that may not necessarily affect some of your listeners because
Speaker 4: maybe they're in a salary position, but as somebody who's
Speaker 4: coming out of the service industry, and I think about
Speaker 4: how in the state of affoord of how big of
Speaker 4: a service driven market that we are. Now you're basically
Speaker 4: giving probably the biggest tax break in the history of
Speaker 4: America to that middle class that has never seen that
Speaker 4: type of ability to keep their own money in their
Speaker 4: pocket and spend it. Also, it's that particular class of
Speaker 4: individual that has been hurt the mo by the increase
Speaker 4: in inflation. So I truly think the president, he was
Speaker 4: on the campaign trail, he heard the struggles that people
Speaker 4: were having in the service industry, and oh gosh, why
Speaker 4: not let's make no tax on tips. So it became
Speaker 4: a little bit of a novelty. I mean, look, it's
Speaker 4: almost like a little bit of a one off over
Speaker 4: some of the other messing that the President's got. He
Speaker 4: keeps his message pretty simple so the average person can understand.
Speaker 4: So those two issues, look, you can't bring them out
Speaker 4: of the ground without having the ability to pay for it,
Speaker 4: because it's got to get started before it takes through.
Speaker 4: The President's so passionate about getting this bill signed as
Speaker 4: soon as possible because he learned last time with the
Speaker 4: Trump tax cuts, they signed them too late. And most people,
Speaker 4: if they reflect on how prosperous our country was in
Speaker 4: twenty nineteen. The President wants to get back to those days. Unfortunately,
Speaker 4: now we're fighting with this new inflation, it's new cost
Speaker 4: of busines that we inherited from the Biden administration over
Speaker 4: the last four years. So you know, I'm giving my
Speaker 4: trust to the President on what he sees as an
Speaker 4: opportunity to just really supercharge money back into the wallet
Speaker 4: of that middle class.
Speaker 2: So am I to take you then that you know,
Speaker 2: the whole det and deficit thing, you're on the tact
Speaker 2: that you believe we're going to grow our way out
Speaker 2: of this.
Speaker 5: Part of it will be growth.
Speaker 4: Now here's the other thing. So you know, there's been
Speaker 4: a lot of hard feelings towards the CBO and how
Speaker 4: this has been scored, and how far off and how
Speaker 4: wrong they were with the last Trump tax cuts in
Speaker 4: the conservative nature of why they feel that the debt
Speaker 4: ceiling is needed to be.
Speaker 5: Increased in order to accommodate this.
Speaker 4: So we really feel like there's going to be some
Speaker 4: consistency in their bad predictions that are going to ultimately
Speaker 4: to the good of the bottom line of the American taxpayer.
Speaker 4: Like I'm not I'm not thrilled with it. But you know,
Speaker 4: as as I'm a believer that what Mike Johnson is
Speaker 4: telling us what our plans are between now, it's it's
Speaker 4: a four year plan to try to do what we
Speaker 4: want to do under the Trump administration, to get to
Speaker 4: the balanced budget that we want to get to. You know,
Speaker 4: this these priorities of the president right now, and we
Speaker 4: put in the motion first in order to get our
Speaker 4: economy back where it should be.
Speaker 3: All right, So Jimmy kind of walk us through this
Speaker 3: past day.
Speaker 2: You know, we had members of the House Freedom Caucus
Speaker 2: they're like, no way, you know, coming out of the Senate,
Speaker 2: absolutely no way. You take a look at you know,
Speaker 2: there having been one vote that that passed this thing
Speaker 2: out of the House in the first place, and then
Speaker 2: you know what what was being said coming back the
Speaker 2: other way. So what is your understanding? Know what went
Speaker 2: down the White House yesterday? What was said with the president?
Speaker 2: What has theoretically made this difference that we are on
Speaker 2: the precipice passing this.
Speaker 4: Well, I think part of it was is is Thomas
Speaker 4: Massey pleading to the President saying, look, I'll vote for
Speaker 4: this thing if you stop beating up on me. I mean,
Speaker 4: so you definitely you've got a number. It's a rule
Speaker 4: of numbers, you know, Brian. You know, if you've got
Speaker 4: one hundred people in the room, that you're going to
Speaker 4: be ten percent of them are going to be all
Speaker 4: about themselves. And so as you get these members of
Speaker 4: Congress who you know, have a base that they cater to,
Speaker 4: and this is the way they communicate to them. This
Speaker 4: is how they community consume their news.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 4: Part of it is is taking these positions that are contrary,
Speaker 4: which some of which have some merit to them. But
Speaker 4: you know, you can't go and kill this bill with
Speaker 4: what the Trump tax cuts alone mean to small businesses
Speaker 4: and being able to allow the taxpayer to keep their money.
Speaker 4: We don't want to increase taxes on people and this buildings,
Speaker 4: you're increasing tax on people. You know, these guys had
Speaker 4: to come to their senses, but it was crazy. I mean,
Speaker 4: we can get them all on board till three o'clock
Speaker 4: in the morning, you know, I mean really, I mean,
Speaker 4: you knew you were going to get here. But you know,
Speaker 4: we're gonna, you know, try to do as much social
Speaker 4: media and TV as we possibly can to drum up
Speaker 4: as much attention for ourselves to ultimately get to the
Speaker 4: place where we knew we were going to get all along.
Speaker 4: So it's you know, it's it's just part of how
Speaker 4: things roll up here sometimes.
Speaker 3: So Massy Massy literally went pleading to the president.
Speaker 5: Huh, that's what I was told. So I heard that.
Speaker 4: It was a conversation that took place. And look, you know,
Speaker 4: I'll come around if you just stop beating up on me.
Speaker 4: And look, this was the president of the President can
Speaker 4: repose as good as anybody. And I'm sorry the American
Speaker 4: public wants his campaign promises completed. You know, there's some
Speaker 4: things of the bill that probably you know, like you
Speaker 4: said earlier, with regarding the increase of the debts, they're
Speaker 4: going to have those detractors of that. I'm not thrilled
Speaker 4: about it, but this is a pathway to get what
Speaker 4: the president promised on the campaign trail. And and I
Speaker 4: get excited about Man, the cop, the firefighter. Now they're
Speaker 4: not going to have to pay taxes on their overtime.
Speaker 4: You know, these are the same guys that you know
Speaker 4: are going to come show up for our house when
Speaker 4: you're down nine one one, you've got an emergency. These
Speaker 4: are the same guys, two of which just got gunned
Speaker 4: down out on the West coast. You know, respondence, I mean,
Speaker 4: these people put their lives on the line. You know,
Speaker 4: I have no problem at all letting them be exempt
Speaker 4: from you know, income tax or taxes on their overtime.
Speaker 2: All right, Jrevy, good stuff. So any doubt about how
Speaker 2: this vote goes down just a little bit.
Speaker 4: No, Look, I think we're gonna have some anxiety. At
Speaker 4: least we're going to be voting during daylight hours. But look,
Speaker 4: last night, we had members that went back to their districts,
Speaker 4: So that's another that dragged things. We had members that
Speaker 4: actually went out and they were hiding because they didn't
Speaker 4: want to face the music on dealing with arguing their
Speaker 4: position on this life legislation. So I mean, yeah, look,
Speaker 4: if you don't like making tough decisions, man, you probably
Speaker 4: shouldn't have put your name on the ballot. So you know,
Speaker 4: time is the most precious thing we got and we
Speaker 4: have wasting an enormous amount of it with foolishness over
Speaker 4: the last seventy two hours.
Speaker 3: You know, memory serves you.
Speaker 2: You are Clay's congressman, at least, you know, part time congressman, right,
Speaker 2: his home and the Panhand to where he is right now.
Speaker 5: Actually, I'm sorry which one.
Speaker 3: Clay, Yeah, no, you're got you're I think, Yeah.
Speaker 6: He's there right now.
Speaker 4: You know what, I hope he's spending an enormous amount
Speaker 4: of money in Northwest Florida enjoying the world's most beautiful beaches.
Speaker 4: And yeah, he did a hell on TV the other
Speaker 4: day and he was gushing about, you know, enjoying the
Speaker 4: Panhandle while we were up here facing the monsoons. So yeah,
Speaker 4: he'll actually he goes. He used to go into the
Speaker 4: old iHeart station that I was in for a while
Speaker 4: when he did a show remotely up there.
Speaker 2: Good stuff, Yeah, no doubt, and a much better representation
Speaker 2: that Clay has than May I have. Unfortunately, the same
Speaker 2: house representation that the president does, which is lowis Frankel.
Speaker 3: Nobody wins in that deal, you know.
Speaker 5: But you're.
Speaker 4: It is so cool to note that I'm talking to
Speaker 4: you and you're doing still in on Clay and Bucks show.
Speaker 4: I mean that just shows you where you have taken
Speaker 4: your career and how effective you are communicating what's important
Speaker 4: to the listeners. So I mean, you think about important
Speaker 4: that family of listeners is and for them to entrust
Speaker 4: you with their listeners. God bless you, dude. That's a
Speaker 4: heck of a damn accomplishment. I'm proud to call your friend.
Speaker 3: Well, God bless you.
Speaker 2: I've lived a career on the periphery people far more
Speaker 2: impressive than myself.
Speaker 3: So anyway, Jimmy, God bless you. Look forward to the vote.
Speaker 5: Talk to you soon, See you, buddy, Take care, coybye.
Speaker 3: Brian mutt In for claim buck.
Speaker 8: This runs directly contrary to what President's Trump indicat in January,
Speaker 8: which was that he was going to love and cherish medicaid.
Speaker 8: Nothing about this bill loves and cherishes medicaid.
Speaker 3: It guts medicaid.
Speaker 2: For slugs. It guts it for slugs. That's the only
Speaker 2: Hakeem Jeffries. He is making the most out of his
Speaker 2: magic minute. He has officially set the record for the
Speaker 2: longest use of what's known as a magic minute by
Speaker 2: the it's a house procedure. So he's now spoken longer
Speaker 2: than McCarthy. Record is a It's an interesting dynamic right now,
Speaker 2: Brian mudd In for a claim.
Speaker 3: But because.
Speaker 2: You had Maxi Waters recently approached the podium and so
Speaker 2: right next to Hakeem Jeffries, who is you know, still
Speaker 2: going at it, although he has been reaching for his
Speaker 2: mouth a lot recently, he's been going for water more
Speaker 2: frequently recently. You have Maxine Waters that looks to be
Speaker 2: I don't know, about three feet away from him, maybe
Speaker 2: maybe two. And I'm wondering at this point all the
Speaker 2: Democrats are standing now as well. So I'm wondering if
Speaker 2: it didn't get to the point where it's like even
Speaker 2: the Democrats are okay, Hikeem, so like you set your record,
Speaker 2: We're going to send Maxine to stare at you. We're
Speaker 2: just just gonna stand next to you and stare at
Speaker 2: you until you're done here. I think it might be
Speaker 2: a subtle maneuver by the House Minority group to try
Speaker 2: to get Hikem to wrap it up.
Speaker 3: But he's still going.
Speaker 2: He's still at some point we do anticipate here at
Speaker 2: the NASU distance, we are actually going to get to
Speaker 2: the vote that is going to give your wallet a
Speaker 2: big break. Okay, so you've heard a lot of lies
Speaker 2: about what the BBB actually means. You heard, Hikem, it's
Speaker 2: all about the billionaires. They really don't have any any
Speaker 2: new tricks. It's like, man, that playbook is old and dusty.
Speaker 5: So here we are.
Speaker 3: You know the burn he huffed, he puffed, You had Pocahontas.
Speaker 2: She whined that all went down the Senate aoc. She
Speaker 2: still sounds like she's thirteen. Hakeem and the throes of
Speaker 2: his last stand. Here you had in the Senate. You
Speaker 2: know Tom Tillis and Susan Collins that did side with
Speaker 2: the slugs, you know, those who don't believe in medicator
Speaker 2: snap work requirements. Just who's a cute little illegal immigrant?
Speaker 2: Oh you are here, have some food stamps in Medicaid.
Speaker 2: But anyway, through kill version of House Freedom Caucus members
Speaker 2: at the White House yesterday, it does look like we
Speaker 2: are on the precipice of passing President Trump's One Big
Speaker 2: Beautiful Bill Act, or the Act as it happens to be,
Speaker 2: because of final act of pettiness. You probably heard about
Speaker 2: this in a last minute maneuver when it was being
Speaker 2: passed out of the Senate. Yet a maneuver that was
Speaker 2: so petty. It was only something that Chuck Schumer would do,
Speaker 2: you know, just prior to the final Senate vote. Good
Speaker 2: old Chuck, you Schumer. As a rush often would say
Speaker 2: he forced a motion to rename the One Big Beautiful
Speaker 2: Bill Act, the Act.
Speaker 3: Invoking the section of the Bird Rule.
Speaker 2: It's one of the arcane Senate rules that named after
Speaker 2: the former Democrat KKK organizer turned longtime senator that they
Speaker 2: now think is great. So anyway, Chuck, you then literally
Speaker 2: went on to say that because of the formerly aesthetically
Speaker 2: pleasing Act, people are going to get sick and die.
Speaker 2: People are going to get sick and die, and you're
Speaker 2: going to have hunger kids. And you know that's it's
Speaker 2: the whole You know, Republicans want want your kids to starve.
Speaker 2: So I actually think there's a far better chance to
Speaker 2: like people get sick and maybe like seriously ill, just
Speaker 2: by listening to Chuck and Hikeem. By the way, well
Speaker 2: it does look like speaking of Hikeem in real time,
Speaker 2: I think he's done.
Speaker 3: Oh he's not.
Speaker 2: Everybody, Ah, it's a heroes welcome. You ever noticed just
Speaker 2: how ugly those people are to It's just I don't
Speaker 2: mean to be offensive. It's like, you take a look.
Speaker 2: You have all this great senior leadership of Democrats that
Speaker 2: are now hugging Hakeem. Oh you are You're great That
Speaker 2: is a that is a motley bunch of people right there.
Speaker 2: I always said, there's nothing about hate that age as well,
Speaker 2: you know, just it's not attracted, which, by the way,
Speaker 2: AOC not gonna go so well, although I'm not sure
Speaker 2: she actually really just words coming out of her mouth.
Speaker 2: But nevertheless, what does this actually mean to you? Well,
Speaker 2: the whole thing is huge money to you. If you
Speaker 2: remember during the debate and the lead up to President
Speaker 2: Trump's twenty seventeen tax Cut in Jobs Act, remember how
Speaker 2: you were routinely lied to by the fake news. Remember
Speaker 2: how you were told that only tax cuts for the rich,
Speaker 2: higher taxes for you.
Speaker 3: You know, one of the things I thought.
Speaker 2: Was was so instructive, just how pervasive the mind washing
Speaker 2: of of most Americans was. You had even after the
Speaker 2: tax cuts had kicked in, pulling from NBC News in
Speaker 2: the Wall Street Journal showing that only seventeen percent of
Speaker 2: Americans thought they were getting tax break again. They had
Speaker 2: already started to kick in, but they had been a
Speaker 2: lied to you for so long, and you still had
Speaker 2: your godless souls in slanders news media that still had
Speaker 2: enough influence, apparently with people that only seventeen percent actually
Speaker 2: thought they were getting one. In reality, over eighty percent
Speaker 2: of Americans saw tax break from the Tax Cutting Jobs Act.
Speaker 2: What was the average savings twenty one hundred dollars per
Speaker 2: filer within the first year. By the way, it's the
Speaker 2: number only growing a lot bigger over the past seven
Speaker 2: and a half years. And surprise, surprise, you have the
Speaker 2: line that is the exact same thing, i mean, same
Speaker 2: playbook from them, right, So this is gonna be horrible
Speaker 2: for you.
Speaker 4: It is.
Speaker 5: It's the the.
Speaker 2: Screw You Act, and you know, just for the billionaires.
Speaker 2: But let's start with the bottom line. The one big,
Speaker 2: potentially aesthetically pleasing bill, it is huge for you and
Speaker 2: your household. So first of all, it makes permanent the
Speaker 2: original Trump tax cuts with individual tax reductions for the
Speaker 2: average twenty two percent average filer twenty two percent. Now
Speaker 2: how much money you start breaking this stuff out for
Speaker 2: households By the time you take a look at child
Speaker 2: tax credits, the nominal rate reductions, the average number of
Speaker 2: people that file in the home, all these things, you
Speaker 2: know what actually is because a lot of the numbers
Speaker 2: that have been thrown out there don't factor in all
Speaker 2: of the tax savings. If you break out what the
Speaker 2: tax savings per household that file taxes is you're at
Speaker 2: thirty nine hundred bucks. Thirty nine hundred dollars. The wait,
Speaker 2: there's more. Eighty four percent of households are going to
Speaker 2: see additional tax cuts beyond the current policy. I mean,
Speaker 2: ninety one percent will get some kind of benefit, but
Speaker 2: eighty four percent stand to benefit by an additional twenty
Speaker 2: nine hundred bucks annually.
Speaker 3: When this passes.
Speaker 2: Come next year, another twenty nine hundred bucks in tax
Speaker 2: savings for you and your family. So here's what's actually
Speaker 2: on the line, and people will throw numbers out there
Speaker 2: talk about all the The average household in this country,
Speaker 2: the round trip on this deal is sixty eight hundred dollars.
Speaker 2: If you had the tax increase from having the Trump
Speaker 2: tax cuts expire and then also not the benefit of
Speaker 2: the additional tax cuts here, you round trip would be
Speaker 2: out sixty eight hundred bucks next year your family, average
Speaker 2: household in this country. That comes from beef up, beats up,
Speaker 2: child tax credit, no federal taxes on tips, overtime, higher
Speaker 2: standard deductions, real money, real savings coming right down the line.
Speaker 2: And one of the really big ones, seniors, you know,
Speaker 2: one of the things that Trump. Of course, it was
Speaker 2: the no tax on tips, no tax on over time
Speaker 2: and along the way you said, and no no tax.
Speaker 3: On Social Security either. It was kind of like one
Speaker 3: of those, and we'll throw that into it.
Speaker 2: So it's not explicitly that way, but the way that
Speaker 2: it did end up getting put in here pretty much
Speaker 2: works that way. So seniors over sixty five get a
Speaker 2: huge boost, get a huge boost.
Speaker 3: Six thousand dollars added to the standard deduction. So what
Speaker 3: does that mean. Well, for the average senior.
Speaker 2: Over sixty five comes out to just over one thousand
Speaker 2: bucks per year in savings. So married filed filing jointly
Speaker 2: both over sixty five, that's another about two thousand bucks
Speaker 2: in your pocket. And for almost all seniors it wipes
Speaker 2: out effectively the tax liability from Social Security. So you
Speaker 2: pretty much delivered on it that way too. Things that
Speaker 2: people don't know about. You have an American made car,
Speaker 2: you get a naught alone, yeah deduction that'll average four
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy five dollars a year, and savings on
Speaker 2: that next year the standard deduction. You know, almost everybody
Speaker 2: uses the standard deduction now is one of the ways
Speaker 2: that the first Trump tax lawended up closing so many
Speaker 2: of the loopholes, so many of the deduction loopholes. Ninety
Speaker 2: one percent of taxpayers use the standard deduction.
Speaker 3: Well that's going up.
Speaker 2: That goes up next year one thousand dollars for individuals
Speaker 2: and for married couples, So pretty much everybody sees some
Speaker 2: kind of benefit. But again for over eighty percent of people,
Speaker 2: over eighty percent of households, we're talking about the benefit
Speaker 2: being into the thousands, over two thousand dollars per year.
Speaker 2: So it's absolutely huge.
Speaker 3: Money for you. And so what is actually on the
Speaker 3: line with this vote.
Speaker 2: It's the choice between a thirty nine hundred dollars tax
Speaker 2: increase if you let the Trump tax policy expire, or
Speaker 2: an additional twenty nine hundred dollars tax cut. Now, let
Speaker 2: me ask you how many people you can do man
Speaker 2: on the street stuff. You can go to your average Democrat,
Speaker 2: all right, you could probably go to AOC. Don't tell
Speaker 2: her it's actually about this law.
Speaker 5: This bill.
Speaker 2: By the way, he came him, he is done. You
Speaker 2: have Mike Johnson, a House speaker that is now up.
Speaker 2: Looks like he's calling for the vote. So we are
Speaker 2: going to get underway with the vote, and we probably
Speaker 2: are before the end of the show going to have
Speaker 2: the conclusion to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act the
Speaker 2: vote on that. So stand by for news and we'll
Speaker 2: break it. We'll bring you all the breaking news on this.
Speaker 2: So you know, like even AOC, you get AOC outside
Speaker 2: of the house, Hey, you want like a thirty nine
Speaker 2: dollars tax increase or would you like an additional twenty
Speaker 2: nine hundred dollars tax cut? Even I think AOC, if
Speaker 2: you just don't tell her how it happens, is going
Speaker 2: to go yeah, yeah, I would like that. Anybody who's
Speaker 2: honest is going to tell you that. So, as always,
Speaker 2: there are two sides of stories, one to facts. The
Speaker 2: one Big potentially aesthetically pleasing Act. It saves you money,
Speaker 2: It ends up delivering relief almost entirely across the board.
Speaker 2: And the great irony is, you know, they're actually five
Speaker 2: percent of people that ended up paying more under the
Speaker 2: Trump tax law, the twenty seventeen law.
Speaker 3: You know who those people are.
Speaker 2: The billionaires, wealthy people that were able to make use
Speaker 2: of standard or make use of deductions that they can't
Speaker 2: make use of anymore when they were closing loopholes. So Yeah,
Speaker 2: the only people who actually ended up paying more were
Speaker 2: the wealthiest people's the exact opposite of what was being
Speaker 2: said as we are on watch here with House Speaker
Speaker 2: Mike Johnson getting ready for the vote. Brian Mudd in
