okay so the support for this bill seems
0:03
to be falling apart right in front of us
0:05
And instead of going back to the drawing
0:07
board and saying "Oh hey maybe we as in
0:10
Congress should trim it down a bit and
0:11
change some things and tweak some
0:12
things." No they're just trying to keep
0:14
it alive simply because it passed the
0:16
House
0:17
already I called Elon last night and he
0:19
didn't answer but but uh uh I'm not
0:21
upset about this And I I I just um I
0:24
think he understands and and he's
0:25
acknowledged to me before uh that this
0:27
is so serious that we can't fool around
0:29
with it
0:31
Yeah that's what we're concerned about
0:34
It is serious and we're concerned about
0:36
you guys fooling around with it The bill
0:38
wasn't perfect when it got there Okay
0:41
And and Elon I think is right on this
0:42
one because apparently you passed a bill
0:46
that no one read that you told us was so
0:49
star spangled awesome Mike that it had
0:51
to be passed And Marjorie Taylor Green
0:54
tweeted out today or actually yesterday
0:56
full transparency I did not know this
0:59
section on pages 278 and 279 of the OBB
1:02
that strips states of the right to make
1:05
laws or regulate AI for 10 years She
1:08
said "I'm adamantly opposed to this and
1:10
is a violation of states rights and I
1:12
would have voted no if I had known this
1:14
was in there This needs to be stripped
1:17
out in the Senate." Look I love Marjorie
1:19
Taylor Green I think she's right on
1:21
target about 99% of the time and I'm
1:23
generally pretty aligned with her on on
1:25
most things But is it too much to ask
1:29
that somebody who's getting paid
1:32
$174,000 of my tax money a year to read
1:35
the one major thing they voted on this
1:37
month I I mean this is exactly what I've
1:40
been ranting about for a month Look I
1:42
know Trump supported this bill but we
1:44
also know that he is not thrilled about
1:46
the final product but how much other
1:49
junk is there in this like like this
1:51
bill I have a theory though and this is
1:54
just my theory but I've recently been
1:57
pretty right about a lot of things so
1:58
I'm just going to roll with it I think
2:00
Trump might be working in tandem with
2:02
Elon here to tank his own bill in a 4D
2:04
chess move This is just a theory My
2:07
reasoning I mean like how many people in
2:10
the history of ever like Trump's entire
2:12
political career of the last decade have
2:14
come out against something Trump wants
2:16
And when has Trump just not gone off and
2:19
completely obliterated them on like a
2:22
global scale Seriously Ronda Santis says
2:25
one bad thing about Trump Trump ruined
2:27
his presidential career potential Massie
2:30
99% aligned with Trump doesn't vote for
2:33
the big beautiful bill And Trump's
2:34
supporting a primary against him So why
2:37
hasn't Trump said anything negative
2:39
about Elon You picking up what I'm
2:41
putting down I mean maybe Trump is also
2:44
reading the country that's not thrilled
2:46
about massive deficits that this creates
2:48
and saying "Ooh maybe I shouldn't have
2:51
settled for what the Congress gave me So
2:52
let's put Congress in the hot seat and
2:54
force it back to the drawing board." Is
2:57
it crazy to think I don't think so I
3:00
mean one of the things that I think is
3:01
really underplayed here is the fact that
3:03
yes we get all these tax cuts now Great
3:06
That's a huge Republican talking point
3:08
and they're always saying that's why we
3:09
need to pass this to avoid the largest
3:12
tax hike in history Okay Well first off
3:16
it was their idea to make the Trump tax
3:19
cuts temporary in the first place I
3:21
realize there's like procedural reasons
3:22
why they did this but the procedure
3:24
sucks So I'm not giving them a pass on
3:26
that because they made the procedure So
3:29
don't tell me we have to pass something
3:31
so you can cover your own behind for not
3:32
passing permanent tax cuts the first
3:34
time Mike Johnson The other part is yes
3:38
America gets the tax cuts right now
3:40
which is a great thing It really is a
3:42
good thing And that is the one reason
3:44
why I've been even mildly supportive of
3:46
this bill because taxation is theft But
3:48
almost all the spending cuts don't kick
3:51
in until 2029 Why not start them
3:54
tomorrow So we're just going to increase
3:56
the deficit by like $5 trillion Rand
3:58
Paul is all over this Folks look there's
4:00
a bunch of people out there that think
4:02
that this is like some monolithic
4:04
scenario where you either support Trump
4:06
in the bill or you don't It's not that
4:08
simple The left-wing media wants to
4:10
think that this is dividing Republicans
4:12
but let me tell you you you know I'm
4:14
like one of the most staunch MAGA guys
4:17
since 2015 Okay you can be against
4:20
something that Trump is for and still
4:23
support Trump
4:25
Republicans who can't actually bear what
4:27
Trump is doing to their own states and
4:30
to their own constituents but they're
4:31
too scared to say they're against it Are
4:33
there MAGA folks who would follow or
4:36
let's not kid ourselves the voters who
4:39
are MAGA are Trump mag this division
4:42
between Tea Party Republicans the
4:44
Republicans that were born out of the
4:46
beginning of the Obama presidency where
4:48
fiscal discipline is a major issue
4:51
government reform cutting programs and
4:54
this new MAGA movement President Trump
4:56
really does not prioritize fiscal
4:59
discipline So look folks I live in
5:02
Connecticut where we lost the salt tax
5:03
and the first Trump taxes I still
5:05
supported them because they were good
5:06
for the country Cost me a ton of extra
5:08
money a year but I supported it on a
5:10
large scale So don't let Joe Scarboro or
5:12
whatever those other talking heads say
5:14
that oh MAGA's turning on Trump and Elon
5:17
There's no division We just have a
5:19
simple policy disagreement We are
5:22
turning on Republican members of
5:23
Congress and the Senate though who want
5:25
to rubber stamp this without any
5:27
criticism We all we want is a little bit
5:30
better bill Just a little bit Not too
5:32
much to ask I mean you guys after all
5:34
you guys did promise us all these
5:37
things and and you had to read the bills
5:39
the first time to pass them too Like I'm
5:42
talking about all the bills Like why
5:43
didn't you ever read any of these bills
5:45
I mean maybe we shouldn't wouldn't have
5:47
had so many of the things in there
5:48
that's wasting money that's now being
5:50
sent back in this recision package that
5:52
the White House had to get together The
5:54
same thing that happened with this bill
5:55
that Marjorie Taylor Green pointed out
5:57
is the reason why all this other stuff
6:00
needed to be caught by Doge and we're in
6:02
the fiscal situation we're in Seriously
6:05
33,000 for being LGBTQ in the Caribbean
6:10
643,000 for LGBTQ programs in Western
6:13
Balkans I don't even know where that is
6:15
567,000 for LGBTQ programs in Uganda 5
6:19
million for minority serving institute
6:21
fellowship cooperative agreement What
6:23
What is that 600,000 for training women
6:26
in gender equity 500,000 for electric
6:28
buses in Rwanda They don't even have
6:31
electricity in some parts of Rwanda 6
6:33
million for net zero cities in Mexico
6:35
Why are we doing that 2.1 million for
6:37
climate resilience in Southeast Asia
6:39
Latin America and East Africa 5 million
6:41
for green transportation and logistics
6:43
in Eurasia 3 million for Iraqi Sesame
6:46
Street
6:47
833,000 for transgender people sex
6:50
workers and their clients and sexual
6:52
networks in Nepal 5.1 million for
6:55
Brazilians of lesbian gay bisexual
6:57
transgender interex and queer global
7:00
movements 3 million for circumcision
7:03
vasectomies and condoms in
7:05
Zambia 135 million to the World Health
7:07
Organization that got everything wrong
7:09
on COVID 1.1 billion for the left-wing
7:11
corporation for public broadcasting
7:13
which uses your public taxpayer money to
7:16
fund PBS and NBR so they can dunk on
7:18
Trump You're going to sit there and tell
7:20
me anybody any Republican right now
7:22
you're going to sit there and tell me
7:23
that 218 or more people in the House
7:26
voted to have those items individually
7:29
funded with my tax dollars I doubt it
7:31
Those items and millions of others
7:33
things get stuffed into bills last
7:35
minute by some legislative staffer
7:38
Nobody reads it Then it goes to the
7:39
House floor with the party whips just
7:41
telling people to straight up vote for
7:42
this or that And if they're against it
7:44
they promise them something on the side
7:46
committee position or worse additional
7:48
earmarks for their district that one of
7:50
their friendly contractors who may or
7:51
may not have donated to their campaign
7:53
might get a bid for That's how you got
7:56
Sesame Street in Iraq Not because it was
7:59
a great idea but because of the wheeling
8:00
and dealing of Washington which
8:02
ironically enough is what we voted
8:04
against in November So here's an idea
8:08
Why don't we just go back to the 2016
8:10
budget $3.85 trillion Still a ton of
8:14
money but it's nearly half It's nearly
8:17
half of what we're spending now What are
8:19
we spending like now COVID amounts of
8:22
money when we had to prop up an entire
8:24
economy that was shut down We don't need
8:26
to spend that much money I mean that
8:27
disease wasn't even that bad in the
8:29
first place but we are now spending
8:31
Nancy Pelos's budget So what'll make me
8:35
happy under $4 trillion in spending I
8:39
don't want to hear about the
8:40
justification of discretionary and
8:42
mandatory and reconciliation and all
8:45
these other fancy terms that Congress
8:46
throws around to hide behind the process
8:48
that they made That's the mandate Do it
8:53
Don't do it Okay It's your primary It's
8:56
time to live within our means We take in
8:58
like5 trillion dollars of money We can't
9:00
figure out how to work within that Maybe
9:02
a little bit less so we can start paying
9:03
down the debt I think behind the scenes
9:06
that's the message Donald Trump is
9:08
actually trying to send and that's why
9:09
he hasn't gone after Elon Musk because
9:12
he's learned to navigate Washington DC a
9:14
whole lot better than he did in his
9:15
first term
9:18
He loves the Constitution He fights for
9:21
what's right He hates the bad guys He's
9:24
a freedom warrior He's your freedom
