Bannon's War Room - Episode 4602： House Takes On The Big Beautiful Deal Episode 4602： House Takes On The Big Beautiful Deal

00:00:00.000 Bill cuts Medicaid by $930 billion and another $285 billion in food assistance that SNAP

00:00:08.460 is slashed. It provides some $350 billion for President Trump's border and national security

00:00:14.500 agenda and would increase the nation's debt limit by $5 trillion. A number of other provisions that

00:00:20.760 reflect Republican priorities also are included here. Analysis by the Congressional Budget Office

00:00:25.440 found the tax cuts would give the wealthiest households a $12,000 annual increase but would

00:00:32.580 cost the poorest people $1,600 a year. The CBO also estimates 11.8 million more Americans

00:00:43.160 would be uninsured by 2034 if the bill becomes law and that 3 million more will not qualify for food

00:00:51.420 stamps also known as those SNAP benefits. But who does Elon Musk represent? He came into the

00:00:58.200 administration with an idea that you did the math on it did not make any sense which was that Doge

00:01:03.420 was going to find enough savings to eliminate the debt at some point that you could do this tax cut

00:01:09.240 package and you'd find enough waste and fraud to make it pay for itself. I was getting emails

00:01:14.620 fundraising emails from Republicans as recently as yesterday asking if I want my $5,000 Doge dividend

00:01:20.280 check. Another idea that Elon endorsed saying that there would be so many savings you were going to

00:01:24.460 get for you the American people are going to get free money from the process. That didn't happen.

00:01:29.000 The debt limit is being increased. He does care about that. Will he spend money against Republicans

00:01:33.500 from the right as he's threatening? He might but I think he represents a lot of people who

00:01:39.340 remembered the first Trump term in 2024 and remembered there were tax cuts and there were

00:01:43.840 stimulus spending and there was a debt but maybe it was worse under Biden. And the reality of the Trump

00:01:49.440 record this time is much more austere. He is yes keeping the tax cuts but people are going to get

00:01:55.720 fewer benefits. They're not getting stimulus checks. I keep pointing to these fundraising emails. I think

00:01:59.800 it matters when people are asking Republicans to give the party more money. They are suggesting

00:02:04.820 there's going to be free stuff coming for them down the line and there simply isn't. So Musk being

00:02:08.860 part of that whole process of spinning that Trump is going to have no trade-offs and just benefits in

00:02:13.780 this term. If he's burnt a lot of other people who take him seriously are going to be burnt.

00:02:18.180 That was a long time ago and this is a different Republican Party. You know over the past decade

00:02:23.020 Donald Trump has attracted a lot of culturally conservative former Democrats who are you know

00:02:29.940 fiscally liberal and were never that interested in small government or spending cuts and didn't feel

00:02:36.800 like they were in the game for the kind of tax cuts that came out of Washington. And you know

00:02:41.140 look this bill would eliminate some tax taxes on income from tips taxes on overtime pay. You'd be

00:02:49.040 able to refinance your car and get a you'd be able to finance your car and get a tax deduction if it

00:02:53.500 was American made. But I think the ultimate answer here Willie and this is important I think to

00:02:59.300 understand is there just isn't a constituency for debt reduction. And so on the one hand we can and we

00:03:04.660 should focus on Republicans who call themselves fiscal hawks or anybody who does and then you know

00:03:09.240 won't stand in the way of a bill like this or fight harder let's say to change it. But politicians

00:03:16.800 are in the service business right. Ideology is their approach to solving problems or crafting

00:03:21.340 legislation but they're responsible to the voters because they want to keep their job. Nobody is

00:03:26.000 calling up no Republican voter or few. I'm sure there's a phone booth somewhere where that you know

00:03:31.160 there are three people on the phone but nobody's calling up Republican members of Congress demanding debt

00:03:37.040 reduction demanding smaller government. What they're saying is protect my program where's my tax cut

00:03:42.920 and this this is what voters think about right. The debt is just not something that's front of mind

00:03:49.820 for them. If you poll voters they will of course say the government should live within its means. Everybody

00:03:53.960 thinks that but then when it comes time to make decisions on how to do that everybody's pointing at

00:03:59.500 their neighbors saying he makes more money than me. He can afford it. I need the programs that were

00:04:05.680 promised to me and so politicians in the Republican Party are simply more reflective of that. And in

00:04:12.560 fact one final thing here you know for years before Trump the suburban vote that was a lot more fiscally

00:04:19.860 conservative at least ideologically was a pretty reliable Republican vote and that has really shifted

00:04:26.980 over to the Democratic Party for many of these elections. And so you just have a different coalition at play

00:04:34.200 here and Donald Trump is responsive to his coalition. Now they may not like what they get out of this bill

00:04:39.800 once it's passed and they're experiencing it but I think the feeling from a lot of Republicans is

00:04:45.640 there are a lot of things in here the president ran on. Voters did vote for him. Once we accomplish

00:04:51.280 something not only do we at least have something to run on in the midterm elections but people are

00:04:55.640 going to start to feel the impact of this and the positive will outweigh the negative. The Justice Department

00:05:00.660 is aggressively moving to strip some Americans of their citizenship. NPR reports department leadership

00:05:08.080 is directing its attorneys to pursue denaturalization in cases involving naturalized citizens who commit

00:05:15.200 certain crimes and giving U.S. attorneys wider discretion on when to carry out that move.

00:05:21.420 It's according to a June 11th memo published online. NPR points out the tactic is aimed at U.S. citizens

00:05:28.080 who were not born in the country. According to 2023 figures nearly 25 million immigrants

00:05:34.740 are naturalized citizens. Let's bring in former U.S. attorney and MSNBC legal analyst Joyce Vance.

00:05:41.060 She's a co-host of the Sisters in Law podcast. In her latest piece for Substack Joyce writes about

00:05:46.980 this threat to revoke citizenship. The great fear here is that what's going to go away is this confidence

00:05:52.980 this global confidence in the U.S. that if you lend money to the United States there's going to be all

00:05:58.300 but a guarantee that the U.S. pays you back. And so as we see this kind of spiral and spirals

00:06:02.100 Natasha's laid out seeds of doubt begin to get sown in the minds of investors and governments who don't

00:06:07.800 see the U.S. in the same ways they saw them before. I mean I think that what we're being encouraged to do

00:06:12.360 here is look at all of this in a very short-term way whether it has to do with kind of temporary

00:06:18.260 tax breaks that are in here when it comes to no taxes on tips when it comes to the kind of child

00:06:23.920 tax credit being enlarged a little bit here. Again these are kind of just extended for a couple of

00:06:29.660 years and and really the kind of larger extension of the tax bill is going to have this larger effect

00:06:34.940 that's going to cause all these problems down the line. So you know you mentioned Scott Besson coming

00:06:39.940 into this administration saying the fiscal getting the fiscal house and where was his priority.

00:06:43.360 There was this moment that didn't take place during the campaign but certainly happened during the

00:06:46.760 transition in the early days of this administration where this became an issue the Republicans once

00:06:51.000 again seem to embrace and in a way Elon Musk kind of exemplified that. The rationale for a lot of

00:06:56.900 these cuts was taking a hard look at government and making really difficult choices. Well that of course

00:07:02.000 didn't come to pass in the way that he and his Doge colleagues promised. The cuts that they made were

00:07:06.800 nowhere near the size of what what they promised and I think it kind of cheapened the the promise

00:07:11.560 that they made early on here that there was going to be an administration now in place that's going

00:07:14.460 to take a serious look at these issues. If you look at this legislation by no means is this doing

00:07:18.400 anything to kind of again take a look at the fiscal house estate that it's in and make plans for the

00:07:22.340 future. This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on

00:07:33.840 these people. I got a free shot all these networks lying about the people. The people have had a

00:07:40.680 belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world

00:07:44.480 to stop that but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen. And where do people like that go

00:07:48.500 to share the big line? MAGA media. I wish in my soul I wish that any of these people had a

00:07:56.200 conscience. Ask yourself what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country

00:08:03.980 this country will be saved. War Room. Here's your host Stephen K. Bannon.

00:08:10.760 Wednesday to July year of our Lord 2025. Okay what you have now the rule basically got only voted

00:08:25.620 out of committee by one vote seven to six. Norman of South Carolina who's a deficit hawk. Chip Roy

00:08:32.100 obviously a deficit hawk voted no for the Republicans. It's gone to the floor. You would think you would be

00:08:38.560 getting the and they started yesterday at 1 30 and we played a clip of Chip I think asking very good

00:08:45.740 questions on the five o'clock show and in fact at six o'clock we did a panel discussion basically broke

00:08:50.940 it down for the entire hour. That went to I think one o'clock in the morning when they finally had the

00:08:55.460 vote on the rule. Obviously they're trying to quick march this as they should but they've hit a snag.

00:09:02.060 Number one I think they're still minus 100 people that haven't gotten back because of the horrific

00:09:08.060 weather around the imperial capital. More importantly I think there's a pretty substantial

00:09:13.860 group that are even saying now they may vote against the rule. That's a newsflash and not even

00:09:22.620 take it up. I think there's a lot of discontent among a broad swath of people in the house as we've

00:09:31.000 worked this overnight just got to take people's temperatures about changes from the senate bill.

00:09:36.160 Some of the changes for the senate are just not acceptable and this deals with people are

00:09:41.300 concerned about Medicaid for illegal aliens. They want to make sure there's not a ton of loopholes.

00:09:44.920 They want illegal aliens off of Medicaid. Obviously Medicaid is a huge contentious issue. We've got to

00:09:50.580 make sure because of the lack of good jobs and lack of health insurance that the working class in this 0.99

00:09:55.440 country and even the lower middle class are make sure that they've got access to something at the same

00:10:00.340 time. You've got to cut the fraud. You've got to cut these able-bodied folks on there. And now it 1.00

00:10:07.480 doesn't start until December of 2026 when they have to start checking in. It just didn't put enough

00:10:14.580 hammer in the senate bill. And when they say they're throwing people off Medicaid, remember those people

00:10:20.280 are not eligible for Medicaid. They're not throwing anybody off. If you're not eligible, you're not

00:10:25.060 eligible. The eligibility requirements should be stringent. This is a program to help people,

00:10:31.100 particularly since we shipped all the great jobs overseas. But you've got to have rules. And this

00:10:35.580 gets back to the Elon Musk of it all. Elon Musk screwed this administration and screwed the president

00:10:41.840 as badly as you can. And hey, for all you fanboys out there that were up in my grill, oh, you're so,

00:10:47.540 why are you so negative? Because I told you he was a total phony and a fraud.

00:10:51.220 And now we're in a situation, they all depended upon, you know, the Pied Piper. He's the Pied 0.55

00:10:56.340 Piper. They certainly went to the Capitol Hill on the house side. They're all running up to the

00:11:00.360 microphone. Elon, can you please save us? Can you please save us? No. We have to save ourselves.

00:11:05.820 And that's why there's a legitimate, I think, concern about some issues coming from this senate bill

00:11:10.980 that people are going to want to delve into. Now, it's a pretty radical step to vote down the rule.

00:11:17.840 That means the Republicans are saying we don't have our house in order. I also don't want to bring up

00:11:23.260 an unpleasant topic. But Speaker Johnson made a hardcore pledge that to get the votes the first

00:11:34.660 time, because remember, we barely passed this thing in the house. We passed it by the vice

00:11:38.920 president broke the tie yesterday. We essentially had a tie vote in the Senate. The vice president

00:11:42.700 can break a tie. He broke a tie. So we didn't even really get the Republican majority,

00:11:49.080 the 53-47, to vote for this yesterday. Understanding there's tons of rhinos there. That's one of the

00:11:53.740 problems. The house was the same situation. We barely got it passed by a couple of votes. So you

00:11:59.540 can lose very few people. Johnson made an ironclad pledge that we need to hold him to. He told the

00:12:06.940 people in the house to get that vote, that this is the framework that the final bill is going to be.

00:12:12.660 You have to take my word for it. I'm going to hammer it through. And we find out during the

00:12:16.800 senate process, they didn't even keep him in the loop. It was an open secret and then broke in the

00:12:21.260 media. I think even some of his people admitted it. The senate leadership didn't even come back to

00:12:26.160 him, didn't ask his opinion, just going to do what they're going to do, because they're the senate,

00:12:29.620 they're the house of lords. And the house is the house of commons. Didn't even keep him in the loop.

00:12:36.060 And so there are a number of members that are outraged by some of the changes that were made

00:12:41.620 by the senate. And you heard Dave Walsh yesterday. President Trump has been adamant. The green news

00:12:47.360 scam, and this started back years ago in Obama with bailing out all the venture capitalists

00:12:51.580 that put their money into, all democrat and all progressive venture capitalists,

00:12:55.660 to put their money into these Green New Deal scams, decarbonization. It's all a con. It's all 0.96

00:13:01.180 a scam to enrich themselves. And Dave Walsh said yesterday, hey, President Trump has been adamant.

00:13:06.320 It all comes out. It's not only not all out, he thinks it could actually hurt the electrification

00:13:12.740 process and project to get enough electricity to support the data centers for AI, to support

00:13:19.300 a lot of this post-industrial economy, and just the basic manufacturing economy. If you look at

00:13:25.500 everything that's moving back here, the reshoring of the investments, which all gets baked into the

00:13:29.940 2.8% to 3.5% growth, which is we're going to grow our way out of here, of which I might note,

00:13:36.240 and I'll read it when we get back. The president put out a true social day. You know what the

00:13:41.360 headline was? Growth. You heard that somewhere? That's the way this thing's got to be sold.

00:13:47.580 The president went all in. This is about growth. His supply-side tax, his supply-side program here

00:13:52.420 is about economic growth, getting us out of the doldrums, getting us out of 1.5% to 2% growth,

00:13:59.380 1.7%. America doesn't work when the growth is under 2%. President Trump averaged 2.8% in his

00:14:07.500 first three years of his administration before the Chinese Communist Party unleashed a bioweapon on him. 0.96

00:14:12.940 And I hate to say I had to remind the economists at the Treasury Department,

00:14:17.320 the fourth quarter of 2019 was 3.4%, where President Trump, everything started to click in

00:14:23.820 like his plan is today. But it's got to be sold. And right now it's very contentious. This is going

00:14:29.760 to be a heated couple of days, folks. We're going to be here nonstop. I'm not feeling that we're going

00:14:36.040 to be signing a bill on July 4th. The reason is, if there's any changes, you've got to go back to the

00:14:41.780 Senate. And that's what people are saying. The Senate's out of town. They've gone. So basically sign what you

00:14:46.120 got. And let's get to the president's desk. A huge fight in the imperial capital. We're going to

00:14:52.540 cover it wall to wall. Short break. Back in a moment.

00:14:59.940 This July, there is a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro, the block of emerging

00:15:05.780 superpowers, including China, Russia, India, and Persia, are meeting with the goal of displacing the 0.99

00:15:12.820 United States dollar as the global currency. They're calling this the Rio reset. As BRICS 1.00

00:15:19.300 nations push forward with their plans, global demand for U.S. dollars will decrease, bringing

00:15:24.000 down the value of the dollar in your savings. While this transition won't not happen overnight,

00:15:30.540 but trust me, it's going to start in Rio. The Rio reset in July marks a pivotal moment

00:15:36.360 when BRICS objectives move decisively from a theoretical possibility towards an inevitable

00:15:42.660 reality. Learn if diversifying your savings into gold is right for you. Birch Gold Group

00:16:28.120 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:16:33.100 Okay, before we get to the nitty-gritty and the grind of the house and the rules and all that,

00:16:40.080 because we're going to have, I think Chip Roy's going to join us, hopefully Eli Crane.

00:16:42.960 We've got EJ and Tony is going to join us, go through the math. As we said, President Trump put

00:16:48.800 out this great true social just a little while ago. Growth is the headline. Where have you heard

00:16:54.260 that? I'm going to read the entire thing to you in a little while, but right now we're joined by

00:16:58.420 Ambassador Monica Crowley from Blair House. Ambassador, tomorrow kicks off really the beginning

00:17:06.540 of the 250th anniversary celebration of the formation of the United States. And you're

00:17:13.580 going to do it in Iowa. You're going to be the Real America's Voice. We're honored. It's going to be

00:17:17.520 producing the entire production. And we're going to be live from 3 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time to 10

00:17:23.480 p.m. or later with an entire crew out there, staff, anchors, all of it tomorrow. Can you tell us,

00:17:29.480 why are you kicking off the day before 4th of July? What's the purpose of this?

00:17:33.720 And tell us about the whole 250 celebration that we can look forward to.

00:17:39.900 Well, thank you so much, Steve. It's always great to be back with you from beautiful,

00:17:44.120 historic Blair House. I'm actually sitting in the Lee drawing room. This is the location

00:17:49.440 where the Blair brothers offered Robert E. Lee the commission to lead the Union Army,

00:17:54.840 which he declined because he was from the South. There's also a room here called the Lincoln

00:17:59.600 sitting room where I spent a lot of time commuting with Abraham Lincoln because he used to retreat

00:18:05.300 here just to think. He'd build a fire and he'd just think about executing the Civil War. So this place

00:18:12.080 has incredible history and I'm so blessed to be here. I'm also blessed, Steve, to be the president's

00:18:17.820 representative for all of these major U.S.-hosted events over the next three and a half years.

00:18:23.380 America 250, of course, plus the FIFA World Cup next year and the 2028 Olympic Games in L.A.,

00:18:30.540 which President Trump heroically brought to the United States. So we're kicking off America 250.

00:18:36.400 This is America's 250th birthday. An extraordinary, pivotal moment in our history and really an

00:18:43.600 inflection point, Steve, because as you know, it's often been said by historians and others

00:18:49.660 that great civilizations usually only run about 250 years before the decadence and the corruption

00:18:57.640 and the decay set in and implode those societies and those civilizations. America is going to prove

00:19:05.080 to be the exception to the rule. And it's largely because of the greatest president we have seen,

00:19:10.760 certainly in modern history, and that is Donald J. Trump. So it is such a gift, Steve,

00:19:16.780 to have President Trump in the White House during this America 250 celebration. We are kicking it off

00:19:23.660 tomorrow at the Iowa State Grounds in Des Moines, Iowa. It is going to be a massive celebration right

00:19:30.160 there in the heartland. I am dying to get out of the swamp. I think the president can't wait to get out

00:19:36.220 of the swamp and really celebrate America right smack dab in the middle of the country. It is an evening

00:19:43.140 event, although if you're in Iowa or if not, you want to get to Iowa for this event, America250.org

00:19:50.580 has all of the information about tomorrow's event and all the events that we have planned,

00:19:55.880 both nationally and in all 50 states and U.S. territories. But tomorrow's could be centered on

00:20:02.480 kicking off one full year of celebration of America's founding and the brave sacrifice,

00:20:10.740 the courage that it took for that genius cluster of the founding fathers to stake their lives,

00:20:17.560 their fortunes, and their sacred honor on creating a country from scratch and giving us the greatest

00:20:26.000 governing system based in human freedom that the world has ever known. So tomorrow we're going to

00:20:31.160 celebrate with dazzling displays. We've got live musical acts at the Iowa State Fair. I'm going to be

00:20:38.220 speaking before the president takes the podium. And then, of course, our big headliner, President Trump.

00:20:47.300 Ambassador, let's go back. We're starting in Iowa because it's the heartland of the country.

00:20:53.040 In America, it's like entrust Iowa. That's why they have the Iowa caucuses first. People have a lot of

00:20:59.660 faith in the common sense and kind of the basically patriotism and grit of folks from Iowa. Is that why

00:21:06.760 we're kicking off in the heartland for that reason? Yes. One of several reasons, yes, because it is the

00:21:13.420 heartland. It is the center of the country. It's the salt and earth of America. Iowa is full of

00:21:20.000 Americans who actually make this country run every single day. So we wanted to launch it there. And of

00:21:26.520 course, the president, as he has said many times, including recently, the president has a special

00:21:32.180 affinity for the state of Iowa, which has been very good to him electorally over the last 10 years.

00:21:38.600 And he is close to the governor, Kim Reynolds, in Iowa as well. And he also loves the Iowa State Fair.

00:21:47.180 And he has talked about it for years. He has visited many times before. And he's actually said later this

00:21:53.760 summer, he intends to go back to the Iowa State Fair. So it has a special place in his heart as well.

00:21:59.740 Wow. Walk us through. So a year from Friday will be the 250th. Just give us the big moments that you

00:22:11.020 all are looking for and to commemorate this historic, like you said, there are not many republics that have

00:22:17.340 lasted for a quarter millennium, right? I can think of maybe the Roman Republic and the American, and

00:22:23.100 that's it. Walk us through just the big moments that you guys, as you look at now, are planning on.

00:22:29.740 Yeah, sure. So let me begin by Friday. So this is tomorrow in Iowa. And then on Friday, we're back

00:22:37.500 in the swamp. We're back in Washington, D.C. And we're going to have a massive celebration on the

00:22:42.660 mall with the traditional fireworks, of course. But one of the things that President Trump

00:22:47.300 is going to do is he's having the bomber pilots that flew the mission into Iran for 36 hours with

00:22:55.520 a huge, massive success. He's having those pilots as his guest to the White House on Friday, July 4th.

00:23:02.140 And we're going to do a very special flyover that night as well of the planes, the bomber planes that

00:23:08.540 were used in that mission. So the B-2s, the F-22s, and the F-35s will be flying over Washington, D.C.

00:23:16.600 So if you're in this area, please come out and see us. Again, America250.org for all of those details,

00:23:23.220 too. And then looking ahead for the next year, Steve, I don't want to get too in front of the

00:23:28.060 president and his announcements of what we're thinking about and what we have planned. But we

00:23:33.580 had this magnificent, really important Army 250 parade, which was phenomenal. We're looking at Navy

00:23:41.520 250. We're looking at Marines 250. We have those important milestones coming up. Look for something

00:23:50.160 on New Year's Eve. We're not ready to announce anything quite yet, but New Year's Eve going into

00:23:56.460 2026. And then starting in January, each state has their own programming because they all have their own

00:24:04.740 250 commissions. So there will be things happening in all 50 states and U.S. territories. And again,

00:24:11.460 you can go to the website, America250.org to find out what is planned and what's happening in your neck

00:24:17.100 of the woods. You don't have to be in the swamp in Washington to celebrate. But what I can tell you,

00:24:22.260 one very specific thing, actually two. First is back in the bicentennial in 1976, they did this

00:24:30.640 extraordinary thing in New York Harbor, which I believe is the deepest harbor in America, and it can

00:24:36.900 accommodate really substantial ships. So what we're doing is something called sail forth for America

00:24:44.040 250. And we are doing, once again, as we did 50 years ago, the tall ships parade around the island

00:24:52.000 of Manhattan and then up the Hudson River. So far, we have well over 44 nations that are going to send a

00:25:00.840 tall ship for this parade. And it is going to be magnificent in New York Harbor next July 4th.

00:25:06.900 Also, I want to make mention that the FIFA World Cup, the final is also happening next July. So next

00:25:13.640 July is going to be wild and so exciting in America. But there is a FIFA World Cup match being played in

00:25:22.980 Philadelphia on July 4th next year. So Philadelphia is also going to be a real center of all of this

00:25:30.320 activity. So those are a couple of things that I can tease you with that are coming up over the next

00:25:35.800 year. But rest assured, President Trump is, this means so much to him personally. It means so much

00:25:42.180 to me. It means so much to you and the War Room audience to celebrate America's leadership, strength,

00:25:49.720 pride, patriotism, and purpose. President Trump is all about making America great again. And you know

00:25:56.520 what, Steve, in many ways, the MAGA generation is the natural heir to the Revolutionary War

00:26:03.160 generation. And Donald Trump is a direct heir of the founder's American spirit. This is what it's

00:26:11.340 all about. So what a gift it is to have President Trump as president right now to celebrate America's

00:26:17.100 birthday.

00:26:19.380 As we said, it's so providential that they stole the second one so he could come back and

00:26:25.720 historically take the third one and now serve with so many historic things. Last thing,

00:26:30.860 I've only got a minute. Your primary job is head of protocol. The question, how do you find time for

00:26:37.000 that when you're juggling 10? I know President Trump always gives something more to people get things

00:26:42.580 done. But how do you actually get the protocol job done?

00:26:46.480 Yes, and that is a huge portfolio. So as chief of protocol of the United States, I and my very talented

00:26:53.520 team, I've got an extraordinary team here at protocol. This is a massive team effort. We manage

00:27:00.080 all of the presidents, the vice presidents and the secretaries of states, diplomatic engagements. So

00:27:06.620 whenever there's a foreign delegation that arrives at the US for meetings, it is me and my extraordinary

00:27:12.740 team handling all of that. The bilats, the world leader meetings, anytime we have a leader visit,

00:27:18.800 I am handling that my team is handling that. So it is a very full portfolio. Next week, we have a Prime

00:27:27.280 Minister Netanyahu coming in on Sunday into Monday for a meeting with the president. And then later in

00:27:33.260 the week, we have five African presidents coming in to see the president for very important discussions

00:27:38.940 about that continent, China's influence, America's counter influence in Africa. So very important things

00:27:46.620 happening. And you know what, Steve, I have to learn not to enjoy free time, because I have none anymore.

00:27:54.600 Ambassador, Ambassador, what's your social media so people can follow you?

00:27:58.240 Yeah, sure. At Monica Crowley on x on Instagram at Monica Crowley underscore. Please check me out there. And of

00:28:05.460 course, on true social at Monica Crowley.

00:30:11.380 time. Congressman Chip Royce. Congressman, there's all kind of – Twitter's on fire right now.

00:30:16.780 There's all kind of descriptions of people saying, hey, the rule vote was supposed to be 11 o'clock.

00:30:21.980 Of course, people are straggling in, but it could be kicked to early afternoon. But they're up to 25

00:30:26.900 maybe plus Republican members that are not even ready to vote for the rule yet. This is pretty

00:30:33.620 controversial when you can't get a rule vote to get it to the floor to even start debating. So can you

00:30:39.560 walk us through exactly where we stand, sir? Yes, Steve. Great to be on. First of all,

00:30:45.060 let me level set because I know your audience is such a great patriotic group of folks that want to

00:30:52.020 support what the president is doing and that to advance the MAGA agenda. And I think that President

00:30:57.780 Trump is looking for us to deliver on what he campaigned on. And this is where the crux of the

00:31:06.440 problem is. There are those of us in the House that are reviewing the bill after it came through the

00:31:11.460 Senate, and we believe it falls short. We believe that it will create too much spending, and that is

00:31:18.260 too much in the way of deficits, over the next four or five years in particular, with backloaded savings

00:31:24.120 and more deficits up front. We believe that it gutted our changes to the Green New Scam subsidies such

00:31:31.100 that there won't be an effective termination of the Green New Scam. We believe that it continues 1.00

00:31:37.000 to allow, for example, illegals to be able to get Medicaid. There are other things. I could go through

00:31:43.140 a laundry list if you want me to. But I think the bigger question you're asking is, where are we?

00:31:48.360 And I think you've noted that the president and some of his great supporters, all good friends of mine,

00:31:54.480 friends of this show, like Russ Vogt, the Treasury Secretary Scott Besson, great folks that we've been

00:32:02.120 talking to on a daily basis, they believe the answer is that the president is going to produce

00:32:06.780 growth and revenue through tariffs that will make up the shortfall that this bill produces in the form

00:32:13.380 of deficits. Look, I'm sympathetic to those guys. They're my friends, and I believe in the president,

00:32:19.380 and I believe in his agenda. But I think we have a responsibility in Congress to level set what we're

00:32:24.960 doing with the spending restraint that is necessary for growth. And a final point on that, you've got

00:32:31.060 Malay down in Argentina. They got 5.7 percent growth. How do you think they got that? They got that by 0.98

00:32:38.220 wiping out their version of the swamp by cuts and deregulation. I think Congress has to step up to the

00:32:45.000 plate and deliver for the president. That's what we're trying to do. We hope to meet with the

00:32:49.360 White House today. We had a meeting with the Speaker until five minutes ago. I'm looking up the

00:32:53.440 clocks. There's a vote that I've got to go vote here in a second on a procedural move. Democrats are

00:32:58.240 insane. Republicans have put together a product that has a lot of good pieces to it, but it's falling

00:33:03.480 short, in my view. I want the Green News scam deal fixed, and I want us to get to the place where 0.94

00:33:09.180 we're honoring our commitment to reduce deficits. If we can do those things, amend it and send it back to

00:33:13.820 the Senate, then we can deliver for the president, in my opinion.

00:33:18.700 I know you've got to bounce in a second. We'd love to get you back when you're free because we think

00:33:22.500 that this audience would be critical in actually making something happen like they did on the

00:33:26.760 artificial intelligence part yesterday. I don't normally just go to the politics, but the reality

00:33:34.840 is we couldn't pass this in the Senate. J.D. had to come down as VP and kind of break it with the

00:33:40.140 constitutional tiebreaker. The Senate is the problem, and you can see the things replete

00:33:46.360 with things that not only President Trump didn't run on, but are outrageous. We had Dave Walsh on

00:33:50.940 here for 30 minutes last night, our energy experts, saying the Green News scam is actually undercuts

00:33:56.280 and chop blocks President Trump's ability to get to the 2.8 to 3.5 percent growth, but this has come

00:34:02.940 in from the Senate. How do you just, on the politics, let's say you make the changes you want to make.

00:34:07.640 Then it goes back to the Senate. We start the process all over again, and I'm not saying,

00:34:12.220 hey, it's got to be done by Friday or has to be done by mid-July, but just the reality that you have

00:34:18.340 such a rhino and donor-owned Senate. How do you ever anticipate, with all the good intention you've 0.94

00:34:24.720 got and the good cuts and things like that, how do you even anticipate it getting passed? We barely

00:34:31.280 got this passed. In fact, we had to use the vice president to tiebreak on something that's not,

00:34:36.420 you know, is suboptimal, sir. Well, that is the legitimate question. It's the one we're having

00:34:42.480 conversations with the White House about because we want to deliver. Here's what we believe, Steve,

00:34:47.560 and I think you know this. The pressure cooker in Washington, in the swamp, for tax cuts is really

00:34:53.720 high, right? K Street, everybody in town is wired to deliver on tax cuts. There is nobody in this town

00:35:02.740 that is turning up the pressure to deliver on the spending restraint and on the reforms to things

00:35:08.580 like the Green New scam. K Street got involved, and let's just take that for a minute. Late night on

00:35:15.220 Sunday, I think it was, they had something they were trying to work out to get this through. JD

00:35:20.160 obviously came in and broke the tie. They did what's called a wraparound amendment, which is what they

00:35:24.700 did to basically pull it all together. And in doing that, they didn't run any of it by the good guys

00:35:29.980 like Rick Scott or Mike Lee or Ron Johnson or Rand Paul or anybody else. What they did was they jammed

00:35:35.340 in the provision that guts the Green New scam reforms that we put in place. They did that as a 0.63

00:35:41.600 giveaway to a couple of senators who weren't fond of what we were doing to undo the Green New scam, 0.80

00:35:47.780 which, by the way, the president campaigned on. The House delivered about a 55 or 60 percent

00:35:53.580 termination of the Green New scam. The Senate wanted to water it down. We fought it back. 0.82

00:35:59.940 Mike Lee and others fought it back. But then last minute, 11th hour, right before the vote,

00:36:04.940 they jammed that provision in there. That was the deal killer for me, Steve. I was wobbling because,

00:36:10.660 you know, I didn't think it did enough on deficits, but I wanted to deliver for the president.

00:36:13.940 The Senate sucks. We need to get the tax cuts. We need to get the border money. We need to support

00:36:19.700 what Miller and Homan and the guys are doing. I'm all on board and I'm giving a lot of deference,

00:36:24.000 but I got everybody to understand. I had already given and given and given over the last six months

00:36:29.300 that we're not doing enough on cuts. We're not doing enough to meet the moment on the mandatory

00:36:33.920 spending. We're not doing what Malay is doing in Argentina because Congress is too freaking gutless 1.00

00:36:38.840 and cowardly. The president's leading and we need to meet the moment. In my view right now,

00:36:43.400 to answer your question, we don't need to redo the whole bill, amend it, take the version we already

00:36:48.820 passed out of the House, put our green new scam language in there, make some modifications to

00:36:54.300 meet the framework that we did to keep deficits, you know, keep it deficit neutral, and then make

00:36:59.420 a few other tweaks and send it back to the Senate. And then dare Murkowski or dare some of these guys

00:37:04.620 to jam the president's agenda when what we're doing is try to do exactly what the president wants,

00:37:09.860 terminate the green new scam, have a deficit neutral approach to tax and spend policy,

00:37:14.120 and then let's call the question. But I'm not going to get rolled on the policies that Texans

00:37:18.600 care about, which is ending the green new scam and not racking up more deficits.

00:37:24.320 What about the loopholes, this thing on Medicaid for illegal? Senator Schmidt's telling us 1.4 off,

00:37:31.800 but I think there's other ways. We're not ironclad. I just don't know how we do Medicaid cuts for

00:37:37.360 working class Americans and still allow us any chance at all that an illegal alien could get Medicaid. 0.98

00:37:44.900 Is that one of the things that you're going to try to tweak as you go back to the White House?

00:37:50.040 100%. I wasn't going through my whole list, although I mentioned earlier. Let me explain this,

00:37:55.100 because your audience is the most educated of any of the audiences out there. So it is already

00:37:59.640 unlawful for Medicaid to go to illegals, right? You're not supposed to do it. But they backdoor 1.00

00:38:04.240 into it, and we've got reports showing that millions get Medicaid. So what did we do? In the bill,

00:38:10.860 there's a section. I can't remember the number, section 7-1, blah, blah, blah. And it does tighten

00:38:16.020 it some. It puts some teeth into it. The CBO scores it as saving $5 or $6 billion. So Senator

00:38:22.340 Schmidt is not wrong. There's language in there that makes it better. And we fought for that in

00:38:27.300 the House, and the Senate's got it. But the one thing we did in the House, and this is important,

00:38:31.500 and it's a part of the Medicaid scam, right? You and all your viewers and all of us want to make

00:38:37.740 sure the vulnerable for whom Medicaid was created and working-class Americans, they get the ability

00:38:43.320 to go get health care. But we don't want the able-bodied, the scammers to get it. We don't

00:38:47.340 want insurance companies and fat cats to get rich on the back of this program. So here's how it works.

00:38:53.800 The fact is, you take some of that money, the state money, they'll go spend it on illegal aliens. 0.57

00:38:59.940 They won't use the federal money, which they're prohibited from doing, but they'll use their state

00:39:03.580 money, but they'll still claim all of the provider tax dollars and the FMAP matching dollars and use

00:39:09.560 that to fatten their coffers. So they end-run the restrictions. In the House bill, we said,

00:39:15.500 you're going to lose your federal match if you continue to provide Medicaid to illegal aliens.

00:39:20.880 And so, you know, California, for example, the Senate stripped that out. They hid behind the

00:39:25.520 parliamentarian, but they didn't fight hard enough to keep it in, and they didn't rework the language

00:39:29.780 so that we can guarantee that those federal dollars don't flow to states that give money

00:39:34.940 to illegal aliens. I hope that's clear. 0.96

00:39:39.140 Chip, are you in the contention going to go over to the White House before the rule vote or after

00:39:45.960 the rule vote? Because I would strongly recommend you go before the rule vote, right, to lay it on

00:39:50.560 the table and give the president really directionally where you guys are trying to go and how actually

00:39:55.520 you're trying to support his agenda that was stripped out in the RINO and donor-controlled

00:40:01.060 and K-Street-controlled, lobbies-controlled Senate, sir.

00:40:04.780 So I'm supposed to be heading up there right now. Once I finish with you, I got to go vote,

00:40:09.800 and then I got to hop in a car and head over to the White House and hopefully meet with

00:40:12.620 the president or his folks or both. We're all there to support what we're trying to do,

00:40:18.240 support the MAGA agenda, support the president. But we've got to make sure that this Congress isn't

00:40:22.120 rolling us or the president's agenda. We can't have more deficits and we can't have the Green 0.99

00:40:27.920 News scam continue with those subsidies that are going to kill the American energy. In addition,

00:40:33.240 frankly, our environment as well. I mean, I don't want to see solar farms and wind farms and battery

00:40:37.360 facilities all over the Texas Hill Country and all over Texas. So we got to go stop this stuff and go

00:40:41.820 get a wind from the president.

00:40:42.920 Knowing the president, knowing the president, I would strongly recommend, Chip, if you would say,

00:40:48.100 Mr. President, you can get the fourth quarter of 2019, you had the economy clicking at 3.4%

00:40:54.460 growth, which would be a home run here and turn everything around. Some of these provisions in

00:40:59.120 here make it impossible, particularly the Green News scam, make it impossible for you to hit your

00:41:03.860 growth target. President Trump's about growth, and I don't think, I think the Senate has hid from him,

00:41:08.680 as we had Dave Walsh yesterday, how what they stripped out is going to hurt the ability to get

00:41:14.700 north of 3%. And the president's looking for 4% or 5% growth, which is all doable if we get this

00:41:20.620 bill right. So Chip Roy, go with God. Good luck with the White House, with the president.

00:41:25.200 God bless, Steve. Appreciate y'all.

00:41:28.260 Thank you.

00:41:30.640 I'm going to read, I think I've got it. I want to read President Trump, as you've heard

00:41:35.660 on this show. And why did we do this? We did this for the simple reason is to understand what

00:41:43.260 President Trump is doing. To understand what President Trump is doing, you've got to focus

00:41:48.060 on growth. Let's go to the first one. Nobody wants to talk about growth, which will be the

00:41:53.100 primary reason that the big, beautiful bill will be one of the most successful pieces of legislation

00:41:57.860 ever passed. This growth, all cap, has already begun at levels never seen before. Trillions of dollars

00:42:04.720 are now being invested into the United States more than ever before. Likewise, hundreds of

00:42:08.840 billions of dollars in tariffs are filling up the coffers of the Treasury. The tariff money has

00:42:13.060 already arrived and is setting new records. We are growing our way out of the sleepy Joe Biden

00:42:19.180 mess that he and the Democrats left us, which is happening much faster than anyone thought

00:42:23.800 possible. Our country will make a fortune this year, more than any of our competitors, but only if

00:42:29.120 the big, beautiful bill has passed. As they say, President Trump's been right about everything.

00:42:33.360 And this is the easiest of them all to predict. Republicans, don't let the radical left Democrats

00:42:38.620 push you around. We've got all the cards and we are going to use them. Last year, America was dead,

00:42:45.180 was a dead nation with no hope for the future. And now it's the hottest nation in the world.

00:42:50.660 Make America great again. The entire bet, as we have talked in the show now for two years,

00:42:56.120 in particular when Scott Besson became a regular contributor. This is a supply side tax cut. It's

00:43:01.220 the last time you're going to have a shot to have a supply side solution to our problem, which is

00:43:06.040 about productivity and production and applying capital to manufacturing and high value added jobs.

00:43:13.740 And now I think the administration is focused on how you sell this growth. What I think is important

00:43:19.720 today with the House, as explained to President Trump, as Dave Walsh did last night for 30 minutes

00:43:23.740 brilliantly. There are aspects of the Senate bill that K Street put in for their own benefit,

00:43:30.600 the lobbyists, that may hurt are going to be a speed bump to the growth. That'll all be explained

00:43:35.240 today. They're going to the White House before the rules vote. That's pretty big, folks. We'll explain

00:43:40.760 it all to you next in the war room.

00:43:42.340 We rejoice when there's no more. Let's take down the CCP.

00:43:46.460 Enjoy a delicious glass of doctor formulated field of greens each day and you're going to feel

00:43:54.140 amazing. Plus your doctor will notice your improved health or your money back. How can a fruit and

00:44:44.980 Now there's greater than a zero probability. The president just doesn't want to hear it. We'll see.

00:44:53.720 I think it's very smart to go up there before the rules vote because the thing is to lay out to the

00:44:59.280 president what the issues are and what they hope to accomplish. Like I said, we didn't pass it in

00:45:08.280 the Senate. J.D. had to come down for that extreme when the vice president comes down to break a tie.

00:45:15.020 We did pass it, but it took the VP's vote. Someone who's president of the Senate, but not

00:45:19.660 technically a senator. He's vice president of the United States. Why was that? You had the folks that

00:45:25.940 wanted more cuts, and then you have obviously always got the Murkowski problem and the Collins

00:45:30.400 problem and all that. So any changes whatsoever, the guys in the Senate would say, well, we can't do

00:45:36.160 this. If you remember the voterama, the voterama stayed open forever. Why? On amendment after

00:45:43.960 amendment. Normally these things go bang, bang, bang. They were gathering votes to see what they could

00:45:48.640 pass at any one point in time. This is why I'm so proud of one of the most egregious things in here,

00:45:55.140 and this is how the swamp works. This is how K Street works. This is how the tech broligarchs,

00:45:59.020 they slipped in one of the most radical ideas ever to really crush not just states' rights, but the

00:46:05.400 whole concept of the federalism on, I would argue, if not the most important topic really of the day,

00:46:12.740 one of the most important topics as we hurtle towards the singularity. Really the whole, you know,

00:46:19.440 more than a millennial change, a change of forever

00:46:23.320 from Homo Sapiens to Homo Sapiens 2.0.

00:46:27.260 That is coming, we're hurtling towards it.

00:46:29.320 And that's what we stopped the other day. You stopped it.

00:46:31.780 991, and it was so toxic,

00:46:34.560 not one damn senator,

00:46:36.320 not one senator, including Ted Cruz, who had done the bidding

00:46:39.800 of big tech, wanted to be near this thing,

00:46:42.200 because they realized the toxicity

00:46:43.580 in doing re-election and actually having to take

00:46:46.380 in the side of the tech broligarchs

00:46:48.080 all from more power and money for them.

00:46:50.460 That's all it is.

00:46:51.800 And you bring up this thing, oh, about China.

00:46:53.960 Well, the tech broligarchs are helping to arm China.

00:46:57.380 Sequoia Capital,

00:46:58.200 these venture capital firms are in business

00:47:00.020 with the Chinese Communist Party.

00:47:01.380 Don't let anybody fool you here.

00:47:03.180 We're adults.

00:47:03.900 We see what's going on.

00:47:04.880 I just had the situation with Ray on the mail-in voting,

00:47:09.160 on the suppression of information

00:47:12.140 about the Chinese Communist Party

00:47:13.360 when he's out there saying,

00:47:14.440 oh, it's the biggest thing in the world.

00:47:16.420 The black hand of the Chinese Communist Party

00:47:18.240 is all over the imperial capital,

00:47:20.800 all over the imperial capital,

00:47:22.460 as many other foreign governments.

00:47:25.420 The Qatar, I mean, Qatar has done, 1.00

00:47:28.920 I think they put $100 billion into America,

00:47:32.080 into people associated with America,

00:47:33.880 prominent people in America, et cetera.

00:47:36.940 And Qatar has a,

00:47:37.980 Qatar's got a lot of stroke from a country 1.00

00:47:39.960 that was almost taken over in June of 2017

00:47:43.960 by the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

00:47:46.160 They've had quite a comeback.

00:47:47.540 I think they savvied up and said,

00:47:48.920 hey, we need some allies in Capitol Hill.

00:47:50.700 My point is that this is an open bazaar

00:47:53.780 of foreign influence, corruption,

00:47:57.680 and influence peddling.

00:47:59.360 That's why this was so important yesterday.

00:48:01.120 Now, the president must say,

00:48:02.040 hey, look,

00:48:02.400 if this has to go back to the Senate,

00:48:04.040 this thing could take months.

00:48:06.720 And, you know,

00:48:07.700 he may not be wrong.

00:48:09.440 And if he wants to button up,

00:48:10.640 particularly securing the permanent nature

00:48:12.720 of the tax cuts,

00:48:13.960 he may tell these guys,

00:48:15.140 look, I hear you,

00:48:16.560 but, you know,

00:48:18.300 you just got to get on this bill.

00:48:19.880 I just want it done.

00:48:20.700 So this is a very big meeting

00:48:22.580 that's going to take place.

00:48:23.380 Chip Roy and others,

00:48:24.560 I think Andy Harris,

00:48:25.500 other members of the Freedom Caucus.

00:48:27.740 You know,

00:48:27.920 Speaker Johnson,

00:48:29.280 once again,

00:48:30.620 and this is where you're going to have problems

00:48:32.460 when these guys overpromise,

00:48:33.920 they make these commitments,

00:48:34.740 you come back on something.

00:48:36.080 He made a commitment to people in the House.

00:48:39.380 If this doesn't come back

00:48:40.640 in the exact framework

00:48:41.640 that we've laid out,

00:48:43.020 I will resign.

00:48:44.680 So where's the resignation?

00:48:46.660 Where is that

00:48:47.580 if this goes crab sideways?

00:48:50.200 Because right now,

00:48:51.080 people have legitimate concerns.

00:48:52.620 The wraparound is this thing at the end

00:48:54.600 where the leader puts up,

00:48:56.420 and we were quite concerned

00:48:57.680 when we were fighting the fight

00:48:59.040 on the artificial intelligence.

00:49:01.500 At one time,

00:49:02.560 early on,

00:49:03.120 we had like nine votes,

00:49:04.520 and our fear was

00:49:05.700 if we won this

00:49:06.780 because we could come up with,

00:49:08.360 you know,

00:49:08.680 five or six or nine votes,

00:49:10.860 that K Street

00:49:11.800 and the tech berlugarks

00:49:13.000 in the wraparound

00:49:14.260 would basically put it back in

00:49:16.400 because that's how this works.

00:49:17.720 That's how the Green News scam,

00:49:19.200 which they totally took out,

00:49:20.900 got put back in.

00:49:21.720 That's why some of the stuff

00:49:22.580 on Medicaid even,

00:49:23.380 I think,

00:49:23.640 got put back in,

00:49:24.360 although some of that

00:49:25.000 was a parliamentarian

00:49:25.900 in the Senate

00:49:26.420 hiding behind the parliamentarian.

00:49:29.060 The,

00:49:29.400 but when you go 99 to one,

00:49:32.780 it's,

00:49:33.280 you're kind of bulletproof,

00:49:34.540 and it also shows you

00:49:35.440 how toxic this was.

00:49:37.700 We've got EJ,

00:49:38.560 and Tony's going to be here.

00:49:39.580 We're going to,

00:49:40.320 as we've,

00:49:41.380 you know,

00:49:41.740 recommended to the White House

00:49:43.220 and Secretary of Treasury.

00:49:45.080 There's a lot of positive

00:49:46.820 in this bill.

00:49:48.180 The things that are positive,

00:49:50.280 the most positive,

00:49:51.340 is a well-thought-through

00:49:52.740 growth strategy

00:49:53.720 that deals with everything

00:49:55.360 from deregulation

00:49:56.900 and deconstruction

00:49:57.720 of the administrative state

00:49:58.620 to security

00:49:59.300 and the sovereignty

00:49:59.940 of the United States

00:50:00.660 on the border

00:50:01.280 and also deporting

00:50:03.100 illegal aliens

00:50:04.260 and stopping any more

00:50:05.540 from coming in

00:50:06.220 and competing

00:50:06.720 with particularly

00:50:07.920 low-skilled workers

00:50:09.100 for jobs.

00:50:10.740 There's a whole,

00:50:12.500 there's a very complicated

00:50:14.100 section,

00:50:14.400 a whole thing

00:50:14.740 about commercial

00:50:15.520 relationships.

00:50:16.880 There's so much here

00:50:17.800 that's positive.

00:50:18.560 Energy,

00:50:19.500 you know,

00:50:19.720 going back to full

00:50:20.540 spectrum energy dominance,

00:50:23.020 that has to be put together

00:50:24.800 and bundled

00:50:25.560 and sold.

00:50:26.580 When the American people

00:50:27.560 understand that,

00:50:28.360 they go,

00:50:28.780 okay,

00:50:29.080 I got it.

00:50:29.680 It's a growth strategy,

00:50:31.180 and your growth strategy

00:50:32.240 is to get to not

00:50:33.200 the 1.75% 0.80

00:50:34.940 or under 2%

00:50:35.940 that the IMF says

00:50:37.000 and CBO says.

00:50:37.700 Everybody's kind of down

00:50:38.920 on America

00:50:39.900 because they look at this

00:50:40.720 as a static process.

00:50:42.360 If you look at the dynamism

00:50:43.520 of it,

00:50:44.260 and you can connect the dots

00:50:45.560 and make hard linkages,

00:50:46.700 not pie in the sky,

00:50:48.040 because President Trump

00:50:48.960 had 2.8% growth

00:50:50.620 in the first term.

00:50:52.180 But most importantly,

00:50:54.060 he started to hit

00:50:55.180 on all cylinders

00:50:55.980 in the fourth quarter

00:50:56.960 of 2019

00:50:57.580 when it all started

00:50:58.520 to come together.

00:50:59.380 He had 3.4% growth

00:51:01.780 in that fourth quarter.

00:51:03.200 This makes this thing

00:51:04.320 very sellable.

00:51:05.680 And Scott Bessett

00:51:06.660 and Russ say,

00:51:07.280 we're going to execute on it.

00:51:08.480 But that has to put forward

00:51:09.880 to the American people.

00:51:10.820 They have to understand it.

00:51:11.700 Otherwise,

00:51:12.460 you're just going to get hammered

00:51:14.040 by the messaging

00:51:14.700 that CBO says.

00:51:16.360 It's, you know,

00:51:17.440 these big deficits run up.

00:51:18.660 Also,

00:51:19.780 the technical argument,

00:51:21.040 which they're correct on,

00:51:21.860 you're making structural changes

00:51:23.320 that benefit

00:51:24.180 in the out years

00:51:25.780 is too technical

00:51:27.300 for people.

00:51:28.360 It's just lost on them.

00:51:29.340 And it's five,

00:51:29.840 six years out.

00:51:31.680 It's,

00:51:32.220 they,

00:51:32.460 why he has us

00:51:32.940 try to sell it?

00:51:33.600 I don't think people get it.

00:51:35.400 I don't think they can

00:51:36.060 take it on board.

00:51:37.500 I don't think it has

00:51:38.040 the impact of talking

00:51:39.040 about the vitality

00:51:40.400 of unlocking

00:51:41.080 the animal spirits now

00:51:42.520 and what is the best

00:51:44.240 of American capitalism.

00:51:45.760 And that is the core

00:51:46.940 of this supply side cut.

00:51:48.520 And we're going to have

00:51:49.520 E.J. and Tony.

00:51:50.300 We'll have a lot more people.

00:51:51.180 I think we're going to get

00:51:51.660 to Secretary of Treasury.

00:51:53.060 Scott Bessett

00:51:53.860 this afternoon.

00:51:54.760 We're trying to book that.

00:51:55.520 We're trying to

00:51:56.060 organize that right now

00:51:57.780 because we think

00:51:58.360 these are the key things.

00:51:59.540 Okay,

00:51:59.860 what is happening?

00:52:00.980 What is happening

00:52:01.660 is that Chip Roy

00:52:02.960 and others

00:52:03.580 are going to head up

00:52:04.200 to the White House

00:52:04.920 to have a meeting.

00:52:06.040 I think the rules votes

00:52:07.140 postponed right now

00:52:08.440 are delayed

00:52:09.140 and they'll get to that later.

00:52:10.760 So it's a lot going on

00:52:11.820 in the imperial capital

00:52:12.760 and it all ties

00:52:13.780 to the biggest legislation

00:52:14.920 package

00:52:15.500 in many,

00:52:16.860 many years

00:52:17.280 and kind of the centerpiece

00:52:18.360 of President Trump's

00:52:19.620 legislative package,

00:52:20.760 his tax cut

00:52:21.520 and his spending cuts.

00:52:23.900 Short commercial break.

00:52:24.780 The second hour

00:52:25.420 we'll be on fire.

00:52:26.340 We'll get into all of it

00:52:26.900 and you've got a ringside seat

00:52:28.380 for what's happening today

00:52:30.500 in the imperial capital

00:52:31.540 as we try to pass

00:52:32.780 the big,

00:52:34.140 beautiful bill.
