00:04:57.000And then nowadays, I am so upset that the things we did and the things we fought for and the boys that died for it, it's all gone down the drain.
00:05:12.000Our country's gone to hell in a handbasket.
00:05:17.000We haven't got the country we had when I was raised.
00:06:55.000This country is being ripped apart and raped and looted.
00:07:00.000We're being slowly poisoned and, in some cases, quickly murdered and assassinated.
00:07:06.000And we're killing ourselves every day, inadvertently, with the kinds of things that we eat and breathe and drink and see.
00:07:14.000People have got to start to radically begin to obey their conscience and tell the truth and do the right thing.
00:07:22.000People have got to start to get courageous.
00:07:25.000And this is the time for everybody to turn and look to God and to pray and to ask for strength and to ask for wisdom to get through this time and to transform and sanctify this country.
00:07:39.000And the alternative is that there will be no country.
00:07:42.000Is it really only as big as low gas prices?
00:07:47.000Is it really only so big as bringing inflation and gas prices and the corporate tax rate back down?
00:07:53.000It's not about waiting for someone to come in and change the policy and make it better.
00:07:57.000It's a personal decision that we all have to make to become soldiers of Christ.
00:08:26.000My own narrative is not one of some sudden, looming bolt of lightning out of the blue.
00:08:32.000It was a slow and steady, unrelenting stream of blips and blinks, glimmers and glares, low beams and high beams of light, some of which I did not want to see.
00:08:46.000And then finally, a point of no return reckoning.
00:08:56.000I think it was because I fiercely came out during the Greupel Wars of 2019 when so many of these brave young men were on college campuses challenging the likes of Zio Schill Dan Crenshaw, questioning him about his undying loyalty and, of course, defending Nick Fuentes and so many of the stars of the burgeoning America First movement who, through an increasing amount of activism, are really going to ensure that
00:09:23.000the future and the success of that movement.
00:09:26.000We paved the way with our courts, those roipers and all the alt-riders that got banned, all the alt-riders that got slandered, even people that killed themselves.
00:09:35.000Our courts has paved the way for you now to walk over.
00:09:40.000And you can't give us acknowledgement.
00:09:55.000In the days after the September attacks, there were countless rumors about strange coincidences surrounding the events.
00:10:02.000One report about a group of Middle Eastern men spotted the morning of September 11th parked just across the river from New York City has not gone away.
00:11:25.000Go to a nice suburb where the lawns are nicely kept, where the mailman walks around and delivers the mail, where people are walking their dogs, and little kids are ice skating in the park, and people are driving around, and they're driving clean cars, and the houses are maintained and kept up, and you go down to the bakery, and you get a...
00:12:06.000we can't even get into the transportation.
00:12:08.000Maybe somewhere you go to a train station and people politely wait for people to leave before they enter.
00:12:13.000You go to an elevator and people wait for the people leaving the elevator before they get in.
00:13:37.000And many people are just trying to enjoy the last hurrah before it's all over.
00:13:43.000People are living lives of hedonism, taking advantage while they can.
00:13:48.000Or they're living more responsible lives, but similarly, just trying to soak it in while they still can.
00:13:56.000And ignoring, living in a sort of self-imposed naivete or delusion about what's going on just outside the city gates, outside of the gated community, on the other side of the tracks, downtown, wherever.
00:16:53.000my soldiers push forward my soldiers scream out my soldiers rage I can't see a damn thing if they ain't guap I can't see a damn thing if they ain't guap yeah they like Steven they can't see me they won't beat me I'm in that guinea you can't go back to the past that's what people are We always say, isn't it?
00:17:33.000But I would call myself something like a Christian futurist instead, because Jesus Christ was our past before any of us were born or conceived.
00:17:43.000Jesus Christ is our present now, and Jesus Christ is our future after we die.
00:18:52.000Because if there are thousands and millions and tens of millions and hundreds of millions of Christians ready to meet their final destiny, then nothing can stop us.
00:30:04.000Today, each of you begins a new chapter as well.
00:30:09.000When your story goes from here, it will be defined.
00:30:14.000By your vision, your perseverance, and your grit, you will build a future where we have the courage to chase our dreams no matter what the cynics and the doubters have to say.
00:30:28.000You will have the confidence to speak the hopes in your hearts and to express the love that stirs your souls.
00:30:37.000As long as you have pride in your beliefs.
00:30:42.000Courage in your convictions and faith in God, then you will not fail.
00:30:49.000As long as America remains true to its values, loyal to its citizens, and devoted to its creator, then our best days are yet to come.
00:34:42.000My own narrative is not one of some sudden looming bolt of lightning out of the blue.
00:34:46.000It was a slow and steady, unrelenting stream of blips and blinks, glimmers and glares, low beams and high beams of light, some of which I did not want to see.
00:35:01.000And then finally, a point of no return reckoning.
00:35:11.000I think it was because I fiercely came out during the Greupel Wars of 2019 when so many of these brave young men were on college campuses challenging the likes of Zio Schill, Dan Crenshaw, questioning him about his undying loyalty and, of course, defending Nick Fuentes and so many of the stars of the burgeoning America First movement who, through an increasing amount of activism, are really going to ensure the future and the success of that movement.
00:35:41.000Napoleon, Alexander the Great, Donald Trump, were all cut from the same cloth, and that cloth is very, very large.
00:44:07.000Highlight, but nobody never tell you to meet me Like Christ, only ever seeing me Ones when the key to me Like a Tyler Perry made a movie Searching for a deity Now you wanna see it free Now you wanna see it free Like to see it free of peace Tell me what you like like Turn it down to the right
00:44:23.000Like, I was driving with my dad And he told me it ain't price-like I'm just trying to find I've been looking for a new way I'm just really trying not to reach Do the full way I don't have a pool Being on my Pesto If I can hold a textile Nothing to tell textile Got another word Better picture or a test Smoked Rest in love with God I don't really wanna rest So Spanish will be life-like Everything in my life Talking with my dad And he said it ain't Christ-like America first is inevitable Unstoppable
00:44:53.000And the reason why Is because It's not real To build a big business It's not cool To shill for Israel It's not This is a Christian nation This is America I fear and
00:45:23.000love God When you remove The fear and love of God You create the fear And love of everything else I like to
00:45:41.000I'd like to propose a toast to the Voipers, to White Boy Summer, White Boy Century, to the reaction and the reclamation of the United States.
00:48:09.000In the days after the September attacks, there were countless rumors about strange coincidences surrounding the events.
00:48:16.000One report about a group of Middle Eastern men spotted the morning of September 11th parked just across the river from New York City has not gone away.
00:51:07.000You know, against all the hate, against all odds, against all the snipes, and the jabs, and the feds, and the journalists, and the doubters, and the traitors, and the deceivers, the human beings got to rise up!
00:51:20.000And we've got to do what must be done no matter what.
00:51:23.000With the power of God, with the will of God guiding us, God paving a path, we've got to rise up with our God-given strength and we've got to be human again.
00:51:37.000We've got to be really and truly and extremely human.
00:51:42.000And we're looking at being human very strongly.
00:51:45.000It's called being human and we're looking at it very strongly.
00:51:49.000Nobody's a bigger human being than me.
00:51:53.000And it's so true, and I say it all the time, and it's truly special.
00:51:57.000It's going to be something truly special.
00:56:22.000In 2016, Donald Trump vowed that the United States would buy and, more importantly, hire American.
00:56:30.000But in June of 2024, during the All In podcast hosted by his donor, David Sachs, he committed that he would not only expand work visas, but he would staple green cards to them.
00:56:47.000And I will not encourage my followers to turn out in November to vote for this or campaign for this.
00:56:55.000It is not an unreasonable demand to say that we will not vote for a candidate that promises to import more legal immigrants.
00:57:05.000And it is not unreasonable because for the first time in 20 years, it is the majority opinion that there are too many legal immigrants coming into the country.
00:59:41.000I want you to- I'm sorry, Mr. Puentes.
00:59:43.000I should have supported Groy for War 2. I should have supported Groy for War

01:08:45.000And people don't realize what they have.
01:08:50.000And then nowadays, I am so upset that the things we did and the things we fought for and the boys that died for it, it's all gone down the drain.
01:09:04.000Our country's gone to hell in a handbasket.
01:09:10.000We haven't got the country we had when I was raised.
01:10:48.000This country is being ripped apart and raped and looted.
01:10:53.000We're being slowly poisoned and, in some cases, quickly murdered and assassinated.
01:10:59.000And we're killing ourselves every day, inadvertently, with the kinds of things that we eat and breathe and drink and see.
01:11:07.000People have got to start to radically begin to obey their conscience and tell the truth and do the right thing.
01:11:15.000People have got to start to get courageous.
01:11:17.000And this is the time for everybody to turn and look to God and to pray and to ask for strength and to ask for wisdom to get through this time and to transform and sanctify this country.
01:11:32.000And the alternative is that there will be no country.
01:11:35.000Is it really only as big as low gas prices?

01:11:46.000It's not about waiting for someone to come in and change the policy and make it better.
01:11:50.000It's a personal decision that we all have to make to become soldiers of Christ.
01:12:19.000My own narrative is not one of some sudden, looming bolt of lightning out of the globe.
01:12:24.000It was a slow and steady, unrelenting stream of blips and blinks, glimmers and glares, low beams and high beams of light, some of which I did not want to see.
01:12:39.000And then finally, a point of no return reckoning.
01:12:49.000I think it was because I fiercely came out during the Greupel Wars of 2019 when so many of these brave young men were on college campuses challenging the likes of Zio Schill, Dan Crenshaw, questioning him about his undying loyalty and,
01:13:04.000of course, defending Nick Fuentes and so many of the stars of the burgeoning America First movement who, through an increasing amount of activism, are really going to ensure For the future and the success of that movement.
01:13:48.000In the days after the September attacks, there were countless rumors about strange coincidences surrounding the events.
01:13:55.000One report about a group of Middle Eastern men spotted the morning of September 11th parked just across the river from New York City has not gone away.
01:15:18.000Go to a nice suburb where the lawns are nicely kept, where the mailman walks around and delivers the mail, where people are walking their dogs and little kids are ice skating in the park.
01:15:30.000And people are driving around and they're driving clean cars and the houses are maintained and kept up and you go down to the bakery and you get a...
01:15:59.000we can't even get into the transportation.
01:16:01.000Maybe somewhere you go to a train station and people politely wait for people to leave before they enter.
01:16:06.000You go to an elevator and people wait for the people leaving the elevator before they get in.

01:17:41.000Or they're living more responsible lives, but similarly, just trying to soak it in while they still can.
01:17:48.000And ignoring, living in a sort of self-imposed naivete or delusion about what's going on just outside the city gates, outside of the gated community, on the other side of the tracks, downtown, wherever.
01:22:45.000Because if there are thousands and millions and tens of millions and hundreds of millions of Christians ready to beat their final destiny, then nothing can stop us.
01:30:36.000Years from now, Some of them may look back and ask themselves whether they've made the right choice, whether they've made the most of the opportunities they've been given.
01:43:43.000And how we pay for it may be politically suicidal.
01:43:46.000Cutting Medicaid to pay for a corporate tax cut, not a winner, not politically a winning issue.
01:43:54.000So many Republicans in the Senate and even the House, understandably, are very concerned about that.
01:44:00.000They're shooting for July 4th to finish the process.
01:44:03.000So we'll talk all about that and what's going to be in the bill.
01:44:08.000In particular, we'll get into some of the spending on border.
01:44:11.000Because there's some good stuff on the border, but it's not as good as the original bill.
01:44:15.000And it'll probably be worse once it goes through the Senate.
01:44:19.000And we'll talk about, again, some of the political ramifications.
01:44:23.000We're also going to talk tonight about the potentially final round, the fifth and final round of U.S.-Iran negotiations, which took place actually earlier today.
01:44:33.000And we talked a lot about this earlier in the week.
01:44:36.000I talked about it with Alex Jones yesterday afternoon.
01:44:40.000And yesterday, it was put together in 72 hours.
01:44:45.000There was a fifth round of discussions between the foreign minister of Iran and Steve Witkoff.
01:47:12.000We had the big shooting on Wednesday night.
01:47:16.000So far, it doesn't seem like, you know, knock on wood, I don't want to jinx it, but...
01:47:23.000It doesn't seem like there's going to be any major crackdown.
01:47:26.000I hope I'm not eating those words in a few days, but that was probably the biggest breaking news of the week, and like I said, not too much has resulted from that so far.
01:47:39.000It's just been a lot of these two big stories, and not for nothing, but I did predict this back in January and February.
01:47:46.000I think I said that at the beginning of the week.
01:47:49.000If you go back and you watch my show from January and February, I said, look, Trump is going to get a lot of easy wins.
01:47:56.000He's going to notch a lot of these executive orders, a lot of the low-hanging fruit.
01:48:00.000I said, and then the slog is going to be Iran and budget reconciliation.
01:48:46.000In 2017, Trump came into office and it was North Korea.
01:48:50.000And their nuclear tests, their warhead and their missile tests they were conducting, which that is what dominated the coverage in February, March, April, May and June 2017.
01:49:02.000And it went on for a year until they have the summit in June 2018.
01:49:24.000If you recall, back in 17, it was a substantial fight within the Republican conference, which had the House and the Senate over the omnibus spending bill.
01:49:36.000And whether or how we were going to pay for a border wall.
01:49:39.000And I believe that was finished by around this time, back in 2017.
01:51:35.000And we're either going to war or there's going to be something like a deal.
01:51:39.000Now going into this week, going into Monday, the fifth round of negotiations, which had been scheduled for the previous Sunday, had been canceled.
01:51:49.000So they were supposed to have a fifth round of talks this previous weekend.
01:52:06.000And that's where Israel started to say, we are going in and we're going to strike Iran unilaterally, which we covered, I believe, on Monday or Tuesday.
01:52:15.000And then in just the last three days, the last 72 hours, Iran and the United States came together for another round of talks.
01:52:25.000They happened this morning in Rome, Italy.
01:52:56.000But the Supreme Leader gave a speech on the one-year anniversary of the death of their president, and he said these negotiations have objectively failed.
01:53:18.000And on the same day, Steve Whitcoff came on television and said respectfully, Our position, and it's the first time they articulated it in a clear and final way, Steve Whitcoff said we're not going to allow Iran to have enrichment.
01:53:35.000And we're not going to go into all that.
01:53:37.000If you've been watching the show, you know what that means.
01:53:39.000At the center of the impasse between Iran and the United States in this nuclear topic, it is that enrichment capability.
01:53:47.000Whether they can keep the infrastructure and whether they will continue to.
01:53:56.000The United States says they can't enrich.
01:53:58.000Now, it's still a little bit ambiguous if we want them to dismantle, if we actually want to oversee that they destroy the centrifuges, or if we just want them to stop enriching with verification.
01:54:11.000It's unclear what exactly they're demanding, but what they're saying is, at the minimum, no enrichment can continue.
01:54:22.000But they put together these negotiations, like I said, since Tuesday.
01:54:26.000After Witkoff gave the position, after the Ayatollah gave the speech and pulled the plug, they came together and they said, we'll have one final round of talks.
01:54:35.000It'll be on Friday morning or Friday afternoon, I guess, local time in Italy.
01:54:40.000And Iran came into it pessimistically.
01:54:42.000They said, we have no hope for a deal.
01:54:45.000They said, it's very unlikely that any kind of deal is going to happen.
01:54:49.000And Iran said, this is how we're going into it.
01:54:52.000They said, if the United States lets us have enrichment, we have a deal.
01:54:56.000If they don't let us have it, we don't have a deal.
01:55:03.000This is from, I believe, New York Times.
01:55:06.000It says, quote, He said the negotiations are too complicated to be resolved in two or three meetings.
01:55:23.000He said there was potential for progress in the negotiations after Oman made several new proposals.
01:55:30.000Oman's foreign minister said that some but not conclusive progress had been made.
01:55:35.000He said we hope to clarify the remaining issues in the coming days to allow us to proceed toward the common goal of reaching a sustainable and honorable agreement.
01:55:49.000Ahead of Friday's talks, Irakshi said that fundamental differences remained with the United States, adding that Tehran was open to its nuclear sites undergoing further inspections.
01:55:58.000He said we will not have an agreement at all if the United States wants to prevent Iran from enriching uranium.
01:56:05.000The talks came ahead of a June meeting of the UN nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, and the October expiration of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, the JCPOA.
01:56:16.000In a letter to the UN, Aragshi, the foreign minister, wrote, we believe that in the event of any attack on the nuclear facilities of Iran by the Zionist regime, the United States will also be involved in bare legal responsibility.
01:56:31.000The Mossad chief David Barnea and strategic affairs minister Ron Dermer met the U.S. negotiator Steve Witkoff on Friday before the talks with Iran.
01:56:41.000One idea floated so far might allow Iran to stop enrichment within the country but maintain a supply of uranium provided by a consortium of countries in the region in the United States.
01:56:54.000There are multiple countries offering low-enriched uranium that would be used for peaceful purposes, but Iran's foreign ministry has maintained that enrichment must continue within the country's borders, and a similar fuel swap proposal failed to gain any traction in negotiations in 2010.
01:57:14.000So it looks like we're at the end of the rope.
01:57:18.000And one of two things is going to happen.
01:57:20.000Because going into this meeting, it seemed like this was all or nothing for both sides.
01:57:24.000I mean, and the reason I restate the timeline is to give you the impression that it seems like if there's no movement on this, I don't see how this goes on much longer.
01:57:36.000The United States made their position clear.
02:01:00.000And although they've moved the troops around, they're still there.
02:01:04.000What's more, the new government is massacring and killing the minority Alawite population in the population centers on the Mediterranean coast.
02:01:14.000And this is a situation which could blow up at any time.
02:01:18.000So, it is the weakness historically of Syria.
02:01:24.000It is the withdrawal of the IRGC that, In addition to some of what Israel did in Iran last year when they bombed their air defenses in October, this has created a situation, it's perfect, for Israel to bomb Iran.
02:01:43.000And Israel doesn't want to pass up on that opportunity.
02:01:46.000This is what U.S. intelligence told us in March.
02:01:49.000They said that they're shooting for mid-2025.
02:01:54.000So that means like end of spring, beginning of summer.
02:01:57.000May, June, July 2025, U.S. intelligence said Israel's looking at bombing Iran's nuclear program somewhere around that time, in that window.
02:02:11.000Israel says that window of opportunity is closing.
02:02:14.000That's why, based on private discussions, based on movement of military hardware, it looks like they're preparing for a strike.
02:02:21.000And maybe that's why they tried to get together last minute.
02:02:24.000Maybe that's why, based on that news which came out this week, maybe after that report, that is why Iran decided to give the talks another try.
02:02:53.000Because again, we've talked about up until this point, and this has been the subject of the negotiation, there is this impasse between Iran and the United States on the nuclear program, on enrichment.
02:03:07.000Iran wouldn't even agree to negotiate if it included anything other than nuclear talks.
02:03:13.000They don't want to talk about their missiles.
02:03:15.000They don't want to talk about their proxies.
02:03:18.000Here we are at the end of the deadline.
02:03:32.000And the United States throws another wrench by introducing something that Iran doesn't even want to talk about.
02:03:39.000The United States throws a wrench into this already fraught negotiation saying, well, on We want the Hezbollah branch that's in Iraq and all the other Shiite militias that form the basis of Iraq's security force to leave the country.
02:06:06.000I don't think they let this one slip through their fingers, and I don't think Trump is going to be the one to stop them, based on what he owes to those people.
02:06:14.000So that's the latest on these negotiations.
02:07:51.000I don't understand the people that have this total confidence that it's going to be okay.
02:07:55.000I see this on Twitter, and every time you see something positive about Iran, you get these guys like Kurt Mills, who I have decided to pick on, who really bothers me for some reason.
02:08:09.000You get these big Trump cheerleaders, these Tucker Carlson.
02:08:12.000Tucker Carlson seems to be concerned about it.
02:09:04.000You know, this has been in the news for a long time, but I haven't covered it because I really just hate talking about these fiscal matters.
02:09:11.000To me, it's the most boring thing ever.
02:09:14.000We're going to get into it because it is newsworthy.
02:09:16.000And in particular, the reason why we're talking about budget reconciliation, it matters for the economy.
02:09:26.000What really matters about this budget bill, the reason you need to care, is because whether or not we carry out the mass deportations has everything to do with this bill.
02:09:37.000Because if you've been following the mass deportation immigration story, Going back eight years, the problem has always been a lack of appropriations, or that's what they say.
02:09:52.000They say they don't have the infrastructure, they don't have the personnel to deport a large number of people.
02:09:58.000They don't have enough ICE agents, they don't have enough Border Patrol agents, they don't have enough detention capacity to detain illegal immigrants while they adjudicate whether or not they should be deported.
02:10:12.000And so Trump is asking Congress for over $100 billion for Border Patrol and for ICE.
02:10:57.000But basically, to get anything passed through the Senate that affects policy, that affects budget, that affects anything, you need 60 votes.
02:11:04.000That means Republicans are going to need six Democrats.
02:11:28.000You can pass a bill with just 51 votes or a simple majority if it increases revenue, decreases spending, or raises the debt ceiling.
02:11:39.000This has been in the procedural rulebook for 50 years.
02:11:42.000It's called the budget reconciliation process.
02:11:45.000And this is how the parties have gotten around the filibuster.
02:11:48.000This is how they get around that 60-vote threshold.
02:11:51.000And so once per year, technically they could do it three times.
02:11:55.000They could do a bill that increases revenue, they could do a bill that decreases spending, or they could do a bill that increases the debt ceiling.
02:12:33.000That's what they've been trying to do.
02:12:35.000Ever since January, Republicans who have a very slim majority in the House, they have a two-vote majority there.
02:12:41.000They've got a three-vote majority in the Senate, which is a little more substantial but not a supermajority.
02:12:46.000They have been trying to cobble together their own majority to pass a budget reconciliation bill that does everything that Trump wants to do.
02:12:57.000So Trump promised that he wants to make the 2017 tax cuts permanent.
02:13:02.000The tax cuts in 2017 were passed using the same budget reconciliation process.
02:13:09.000And that is what cut the corporate tax rate from 35%, I think down to 24%.
02:13:14.000And it changed the marginal tax rates.
02:16:20.000They want to cut corporate tax rates, they want to cut tax on tips, cut tax on a lot of different things, overtime, Social Security, this and that.
02:16:29.000And they want $200 billion more, $150 billion more for military, $150 billion more for border.
02:17:06.000It brought in a lot of investment from Europe.
02:17:09.000If you look at after the pandemic, European GDP growth is like nothing, and the United States has been blowing up because we're taking all their business.
02:17:19.000So the Inflation Reduction Act, the Biden Infrastructure Law, I mean, these were actually, I mean, they weren't perfect.
02:19:23.000The House Freedom Caucus Chair, Andy Harris, voted present.
02:19:27.000The bill, titled One Big Beautiful Bill Act, adopting Trump's slogan for the bill, extends the tax cuts enacted by the president in his first term in 2017, boosts funding for border deportation and national defense priorities,
02:19:43.000imposes reforms like beefed-up work requirements on Medicaid, It also does away with taxes on tips and overtime.
02:20:04.000Treasury Department Secretary Scott Besson said Congress must raise the debt ceiling by mid-July to avoid an economy-rattling default, leaving lawmakers little time to hash out their differences and deliver Trump a bill.
02:20:19.000They said they want to enact the bill by July 4th.
02:20:23.000Today, the 1,116-page bill faces a swarm of objections from Senate Republicans.
02:20:31.000GOP senators are calling for a rewrite of the bill, so they want to start from scratch, to address concerns ranging from Medicaid reforms and the phase-out of clean energy incentives.
02:20:42.000To the sale of government-owned spectrum bans and the bill's projected impact on the federal debt.
02:20:47.000The deal struck with Republicans from blue states to raise the cap on the SALT tax deductions from $10,000 to $40,000 is also a sticking point with Republican senators.
02:20:58.000The biggest obstacle may be the threatened opposition from Senate conservatives who say the bill doesn't do nearly enough to cut future deficits, which are projected to exceed $2 trillion annually for the next two years.
02:21:12.000So we're going to have $2 trillion deficits adding $2 trillion each year to the debt for the next two years.
02:21:20.000Senator Ron Johnson, an outspoken fiscal hawk, said Thursday there are four Senate Republican conservatives who will vote against the bill as it is currently drafted, which would be enough to sink it if there is full attendance.
02:21:33.000The Congressional Budget Office projects the bill will add another $3.8 trillion to the debt.
02:21:39.000Johnson thinks the number is likely to be closer to $4 trillion.
02:22:27.000If the economy is bigger and we're taxing it at a lower rate, maybe we're going to get more revenue.
02:22:33.000And there's a lot of different hypotheses and models.
02:22:36.000And they use different numbers about how to come up with these predictions.
02:22:40.000So the rule says, look, if you want to access budget reconciliation, it can't increase the deficit.
02:22:47.000It's got to bring down spending, increase revenue, increase the debt ceiling.
02:22:53.000In order to make that work, Republicans have a lot of leeway in how they model those predictions.
02:23:00.000And what they do is they deliberately fudge the numbers.
02:23:04.000They pick numbers that will make it look better than it is.
02:23:08.000And they can choose which types of numbers they use and how they calculate certain things.
02:23:13.000And so they basically pick the model that says that the impact will be the least significant on deficit.
02:23:20.000So when they come up with a prediction and say, well, the official projection says – That's the most favorable number because that means that's the number that allows them to increase spending the most.
02:23:37.000There are other models they could use, but those models would show the deficit would go way higher, and that would restrict how much they could increase spending.
02:23:46.000So they say, well, we're going to increase the deficit $2 trillion per year.
02:23:50.000That's excessive, and it's probably an understatement.
02:23:58.000So with that being said, Senate Republicans are coming in and saying there's absolutely no way we're voting for this in its current form.
02:24:05.000It doesn't offset the increase in the deficit enough.
02:24:09.000You're increasing all the spending between the tax cuts and the increase to military and the border, but you're not doing enough to offset it by cutting Medicaid, by cutting these other things.
02:24:20.000And the Senate doesn't want to cut Medicaid either.
02:24:23.000They don't want to touch Medicaid either.
02:24:25.000So that means if they're not touching Medicaid, but they think it increases the deficit too much, guess what's going to go?
02:29:20.000They don't care whether it's one bill or two bills.
02:29:24.000When they're debating about procedure, that is a coded way to debate about policy.
02:29:30.000The reason they wanted to pass it in one or two or three separate bills is because they wanted to pass the tax cuts, because that's easy, because they actually want that.
02:29:41.000And then when it's time to consider the border appropriations, they want to say, fuck you.
02:29:47.000They want to pass the tax cut, and then when it comes time to consider whether we're going to have a border wall, they want to say, ah, geez, best we could do is $10 billion.
02:32:51.000Or how much cash will it get from taxes to keep paying the government's liabilities?
02:32:57.000So they call that the strike date, when the government hits the debt ceiling, they've borrowed so much, they legally cannot borrow anymore, and they have to dig into their cash reserves.
02:33:41.000And if they still don't reach an agreement by then, you know what they might do?
02:33:45.000They might say, we're going to pass a stopgap measure.
02:33:47.000We're going to pass a temporary measure.
02:33:50.000We're going to raise the debt ceiling for six weeks or three months so we can work out these differences and have more time to make a final bill.
02:34:17.000It takes a little while for the funds to hit the bank account.
02:34:21.000And if the president is relying on $150 billion for ICE to come from this bill, and it doesn't come until 2026, that means that we're starting the mass deportations during the midterms.
02:36:00.000That if they wait until September and the funds don't hit until a few months after and it takes a few months to ramp up, they know it's not going to play that the president is going to be doing door-to-door immigration raids, deporting thousands of people every day in the middle of the midterms.
02:36:17.000I mean, you saw the story about that guy that got put in a prison in El Salvador, remember?
02:36:22.000Remember that illegal immigrant who was sent to an El Salvadorian prison?
02:36:28.000And it turns out he may or may not have been a legal resident or something.
02:36:32.000Okay, imagine like 500 of those stories every single day, every day, until the midterms.
02:36:58.000But you can't pick it up in the spring of 2026 and say, okay, now we're going to sweep neighborhoods and kick out illegal immigrants that have been here for 20 years.
02:46:50.000When we say someone's a fed, a federal agent is somebody that is either a confidential informant, they're cooperating with law enforcement, or they're an actual agent of federal law enforcement or intelligence.
02:47:04.000Somebody becomes an informant when they get charged with a crime.
02:47:19.000And the federal government comes in and says, look, we can make the charges go away or diminish the sentence or reduce the charge, but then we own you.
02:47:38.000What a law enforcement agent tries to do is entrap other people.
02:47:42.000They try to entrap other people by soliciting them to commit crimes, like a terrorist or a mass shooter or somebody who's trying to purchase a weapon or create an explosive or something like that, and then the cops come in.
02:47:58.000So typically you say someone's a fed if they're saying, hey, let's go commit a crime.
02:48:04.000But the problem is, and the reason I'm spending some time on this is now, they say that anybody who disagrees with you is a federal agent.
02:48:12.000They say something like, if you are talking about race, if you're talking about Jews, if you're talking about Israel, in other words, if you're talking about anything to the right of Sean Hannity, well, that's divide and conquer.
02:48:26.000That's the federal government trying to divide the people, trying to divide the Republican Party.
02:48:33.000And it's like, listen, I'm not a fucking Republican.
02:48:35.000I've never been a fucking Republican, okay?
02:48:39.000I'm not a fiscal conservative, you know, rube or whatever.
02:51:08.000I've got a one-year-old son, wife, and I want to have lots more.
02:51:10.000I'd love to listen to your show with my sons in the future the way my dad and I would listen to Rush Limbaugh in the truck when I was a kid.
02:51:14.000Since you were talking about cleaning the language up a bit.
02:57:27.000the Money Masters documentary by a Catholic in 96 chronicles the history of usury from antiquity until now oh great thank you real Christopher Reeves sent $15 my friend and I are obsessed with the show not fags there's no one else keeping it as real as you out there keep it up need your book Rex ASAP Comfy Friend sent $10 you actually thought Ye was a Nazi and he left you looking like a fool all the witness were right feels like you sold us and your integrity out for a crumb of nigga tension This is the third time it's happened.
03:00:27.000Candace was listed as a co-founder of Glorify, a fintech banking startup launched 2022, which she actively promoted.
03:00:31.000Glorify received $50 million in funding from Peter Thiel and later shut down due to a lack of operational support and other internal issues.
03:06:00.000I don't know about you guys, but I'd rather be miserable and eat a diet of garbage than feel good and have to be an insufferable faggot like that.
03:06:10.000Is it just me, or does all of that stuff come across like extremely off-putting?
03:06:15.000I see these fucking assholes on social media all day and they're like, I eat clean.
03:10:22.000Everything about it, the like, I just start to think about it and just like, ugh, you know, like I gotta put on a workout.
03:10:29.000Clothes, like, work out, shorts and shirt, and get a gay-ass water bottle, and okay, here I go, and ugh, you know, you gotta, like, do push-ups and stuff, and it's too chalant.
03:17:15.000That clip where a dean asks Ye if he thinks Hitler would like him and Ye responds that he would be one of the scientists that America cleaned up had me dying.
03:17:20.000Most people think of Ye as unintentionally funny, but Ro is genuinely hilarious.
03:21:02.000I mean, for Europeans, I get it if you're a European.
03:21:05.000A lot of Europeans are really anti-Muslim, and I get it.
03:21:08.000In America, they're not very numerous.
03:21:11.000So you just don't clock them as detrimental in the way that Jewish power is or in the way that even – So I think that's something that Europeans are preoccupied with and for good reason, but not so much here.
03:22:42.000And if you look at the official numbers from April, which is what we have numbers for, they said that we had only deported about 50,000 up until that point.
03:22:52.000And the 100,000 number came about two weeks after that.
03:23:34.000But you're a cocksucker who you read one headline and you say, oh, see, that vindicates my emotional attachment to the Republican candidate for president.
