00:01:45.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:01:47.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:01:49.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:01:52.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House.

00:01:56.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:01:57.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:58.000 His spirit, his love of this country.

00:02:00.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, turning point USA.

00:02:06.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:02:15.000 That's why we are here.

00:02:43.000 I think it's important that we remind you how good things are going.

00:02:48.000 I know people are so negative lately.

00:02:51.000 You know, it's just not what I, what are you talking about?

00:02:53.000 Inflation is cooling.

00:02:55.000 The border is completely secure.

00:02:57.000 The economy is much better than people would imagine.

00:02:59.000 The market is up.

00:03:02.000 We are on a historic hot streak.

00:03:03.000 President Donald Trump has ended three wars and hopefully a fourth.

00:03:07.000 I understand that when you're dealing with Hamas, it's not exactly easy to get them to agree to a ceasefire.

00:03:14.000 But yesterday, President Donald Trump got Israel to agree to a ceasefire.

00:03:18.000 That's a big deal.

00:03:19.000 Yesterday, President Donald Trump quoted, my representatives had a long and productive meeting with the Israelis today on Gaza.

00:03:26.000 Israel has agreed to the necessary conditions to finalize the 60-day ceasefire, during which time we'll work with all parties to end the wars.

00:03:34.000 The Qataris and Egyptians, good sign, who worked very hard to help bring peace, will help deliver the final proposal.

00:03:41.000 I hope for the good of the Middle East that Hamas takes this deal, because if not, it will not get better. 0.97

00:03:47.000 It will only get worse, he says in all caps.

00:03:49.000 And one of my favorite sentences, thank you for the attention to this matter.

00:03:54.000 We need to take a step back, everybody.

00:03:56.000 If you watch most of the media, they make it seem as if the Trump administration is in free fall.

00:04:01.000 He has win after win and victory after victory right now.

00:04:05.000 And this is not just spin.

00:04:06.000 This is not just hopium.

00:04:07.000 It's real stuff.

00:04:08.000 Supreme Court injunctions.

00:04:10.000 Yesterday, by the way, President Donald Trump was able to broker a deal with the University of Pennsylvania revoking all of the national championships that the male William Thomas won when he was a Switmer at the University of Pennsylvania.

00:04:24.000 Supreme Court comes in and clarifies the nationwide injunctions.

00:04:29.000 We have a mass deportation agenda well underway where yesterday Tom Holman told us that we're deporting 2,000 people a day and it's only going to go up from here.

00:04:40.000 As of this morning, we also have a massive trade deal with Vietnam, a huge trade partner for clothing and textiles.

00:04:47.000 And I know a lot of friends, very close friends, that were watching this one closely.

00:04:51.000 And this one is a major victory for the country.

00:04:54.000 Phenomenal.

00:04:56.000 Understand that this is just the beginning.

00:04:59.000 We have military recruitment going up.

00:05:02.000 We have finally national morale trending in the correct direction.

00:05:06.000 He goes to NATO and NATO calls, President Trump goes to NATO.

00:05:10.000 NATO calls him daddy.

00:05:12.000 And not to mention, there were so many people in the midst of the Iranian thing that did not trust President Trump. 1.00

00:05:18.000 Now, we had concerns on this program about how engaging in Iran could enter into a potential Middle East quagmire, but we always ended almost every single ex post and every single program, but we trust President Trump.

00:05:33.000 We were very clear, repeated.

00:05:34.000 In fact, people were making fun of us.

00:05:36.000 They said, Charlie, why is that like your salutation?

00:05:39.000 I said, well, we trust President Trump because he has earned our trust.

00:05:42.000 We denied and rejected the binary, and we found a third way of how to explain it. 0.79

00:05:46.000 And President Trump pioneered the MAGA doctrine, the Trump doctrine.

00:05:51.000 And if you spend too much time chronically online, you'd think that things are just overly negative.

00:05:56.000 It seems as if the one who complains the most, the one who is the most negative, and the one is the most cynical seems to just spend all their time staring at a laptop screen.

00:06:07.000 But in fact, the regular everyday Americans, the rank and file, the people that are the base of MAGA, the everyday patriots, they're realizing what President Trump is doing.

00:06:18.000 And yes, he does deserve the Nobel Peace Prize.

00:06:20.000 By the way, we didn't even talk about this one.

00:06:22.000 Last Friday in a buried news item over the weekend, that's right, in his spare time, President Donald Trump ended another war, the Congo-Rwanda war.

00:06:31.000 Over 7,000 people killed.

00:06:33.000 They were using machetes, cutting people's heads off.

00:06:35.000 And he used it by, he ended it by using American diplomatic power, the U.S. dollar, coming in and ending the Congo-Rwandan war.

00:06:47.000 President Trump is more popular than ever.

00:06:49.000 Gas is at a four-year low.

00:06:51.000 The stock market is at record high.

00:06:52.000 Everybody, whether you realize it or not, you're starting to live through the golden age.

00:06:57.000 And of course, there's a lot of stuff that we need to improve.

00:06:59.000 We need to balance our budget.

00:07:01.000 We need to cut our deficit.

00:07:02.000 We need to take back control of our cities.

00:07:04.000 But I want you to understand that if you are in a negative state, then that is because you are choosing to be in that negative cycle.

00:07:12.000 You are making a conscious decision to find the errors and not the positives.

00:07:19.000 Putin is even saying relations with America are improving, which may be the key to ending the Russian-Ukrainian war.

00:07:25.000 We'll see.

00:07:26.000 Right now it's a summer of killing, the likes of which that is very hard to witness.

00:07:30.000 Don't be allergic to winning.

00:07:34.000 Don't have a reluctance or recalcitrance to embracing that we have actual verified victories and a series of wins in front of us.

00:07:46.000 We lived in the wilderness for so long, it's almost hard to even say that things are getting better.

00:07:52.000 But a lot of this is what we voted for.

00:07:54.000 And it's just the beginning, everybody.

00:07:56.000 Embrace the fact that President Trump is ending wars, that the economy is materially improving.

00:08:02.000 Embrace the fact that the border is totally and completely secure.

00:08:06.000 And for those that don't just stare at their screens all day long about what is negative, oh my goodness.

00:08:12.000 It turns out the American people are more behind President Trump than ever before.

00:08:17.000 Play Cut 329.

00:08:18.000 Trump endorsees won the GOP primary for governor and congressional races.

00:08:23.000 Look at this.

00:08:24.000 2024, 96%.

00:08:25.000 2022, 95%.

00:08:27.000 2020, 98%.

00:08:29.000 The bottom line is this.

00:08:30.000 95% plus of the time the Trump endorsed candidate wins in GOP primaries.

00:08:36.000 And even in the cases where Donald Trump endorses a challenger to an incumbent, the majority of time, that challenger wins.

00:08:42.000 So Donald Trump is a winner in Republican primaries.

00:08:45.000 You go against Donald Trump, to quote the movie Goodberger, you go in the grinder.

00:08:49.000 Donald Trump is the key nugget.

00:08:52.000 His endorsement is the key nugget in a GOP primary because he's historically, strongly popular with the GOP people.

00:08:57.000 Now there's going to be a surprise primary in North Carolina, so we will be watching that, of course.

00:09:02.000 That is Harry Enton from CNN.

00:09:04.000 There's another clip that I'll play in a second here.

00:09:06.000 And then it all transitions to the Big Beautiful Bill.

00:09:09.000 The Big Beautiful Bill is now in front of the U.S. House of Representatives.

00:09:12.000 At some point, you're not going to be able to get something done because you have the moderates just getting it through the Senate.

00:09:17.000 I hope everyone understands the accomplishment of how difficult that was in the Senate.

00:09:22.000 We had three people vote against us, but not the three that you would have imagined.

00:09:25.000 Susan Collins, okay, fine.

00:09:28.000 Remember, Susan is always there.

00:09:30.000 Senator Collins is there when we need her.

00:09:31.000 Turns out we didn't need her.

00:09:33.000 And she's in cycle.

00:09:34.000 So what happened is that she traded her vote with Lisa Murkowski.

00:09:38.000 They're very close, kind of the moderate women of the Republican Conference in the U.S. Senate.

00:09:43.000 Again, I have a lot of respect for Susan Collins.

00:09:45.000 I get so much hate mail because she's always there when we need her.

00:09:48.000 But now she can go back to Maine and be like, well, I actually voted against Trump. 1.00

00:09:52.000 And in reality, she wanted to see it passed.

00:09:54.000 She's very savvy, that one. 0.86

00:09:56.000 We needed her with Kavanaugh, and she stepped up for Kavanaugh.

00:09:59.000 Whenever we need Susan Collins, she is there.

00:10:02.000 If not, she's got to preserve her seat. 0.95

00:10:04.000 And in a lot of ways, you can't blame her.

00:10:06.000 So Rand Paul voted against the bill.

00:10:08.000 Okay.

00:10:09.000 He says he never voted for a debt ceiling increase.

00:10:12.000 That's his prerogative.

00:10:14.000 But then Susan Collins, the third of which was so surprising for a lot of us, Tom Tillis, what motivates that guy?

00:10:22.000 What makes him tick?

00:10:23.000 Well, then in order to get it through the Senate, we had to get Ron Johnson and we had to get Lisa Murkowski.

00:10:30.000 And that was just at a 50 tie to get J.D. Vance to break the tie.

00:10:35.000 That is not easy.

00:10:36.000 And if the House continues to change the bill, then it goes back to the Senate and you might not get Murkowski to do that again.

00:10:44.000 We gave $25 billion more to rural hospitals for Murkowski.

00:10:48.000 At some point, you're going to just end up giving giveaways to every single U.S. senator and member of Congress to get this thing passed.

00:10:55.000 But I'm curious for those of you in the audience, what is the most important part of President Trump's agenda?

00:11:01.000 Is it spending cuts?

00:11:03.000 Is it deportations?

00:11:05.000 What is the most important thing?

00:11:07.000 We believe that you must rank things in order of importance.

00:11:11.000 The hierarchy of needs, wants, interests, and desires.

00:11:14.000 And we think the most important thing to the American project is mass deportations, border plus deportations. 0.60

00:11:21.000 All that other stuff matters.

00:11:23.000 But it will do us no good if you balance the budget and you are a country of foreigners. 1.00

00:11:27.000 That does you no good.

00:11:29.000 Balancing the budget is critical, but deporting the alien invaders is even more important. 0.99

00:11:37.000 Look, the headlines are getting crazier by the minute.

00:11:40.000 We've got an unstable situation in the Middle East, reports of sleeper cells here in America, and the looming threat of nuclear proliferation.

00:11:47.000 Nobody knows what's coming next, but one thing is clear.

00:11:49.000 When a crisis hits, it's too late to prepare.

00:11:51.000 That's why I grabbed the Independence Day Preparedness bundle from MyPatriot Supply.

00:11:56.000 You are nine meals away from anarchy, and remember, it includes a massive one-year emergency food supply, and right now they're throwing in over $1,200 in free survival gear with it.

00:12:07.000 We're talking a free year of food, solar backup power, water filtration, everything you need to write out, whatever may be coming with lightning fast free shipping.

00:12:14.000 Check out the bundle now at mypatriotsupply.com slash Kirk.

00:12:18.000 That is mypatriotsupply.com slash Kirk.

00:12:20.000 This is more than a great deal.

00:12:22.000 It may be your last best chance to get your house in order, but this special offer won't last long.

00:12:26.000 Go to mypatriotsupply.com slash K-I-R-K and take care of this now. 0.95

00:12:33.000 I want to play a piece of tape here.

00:12:36.000 CNN now admits that Trump's June 2025 economy has a much better job market than it was a year ago.

00:12:43.000 PlayCut 341.

00:12:45.000 In June, there were about 48,000 layoff announcements.

00:12:50.000 That is down sharply by 49% from May, and it is even a little bit lower, 2% lower than last June.

00:13:01.000 And when we look at the trend for layoff announcements, they were trending higher and higher earlier this year.

00:13:07.000 This looks back to the beginning of 2024.

00:13:09.000 And you can see they were really low last year, skyrocketed around February and March.

00:13:15.000 In fact, March was about five times higher than June.

00:13:19.000 And this, of course, was driven in large part by Doge, right?

00:13:23.000 The government efficiency effort previously led by Elon Musk that was really slashing government payrolls.

00:13:30.000 So the economy is much better.

00:13:31.000 So think about it.

00:13:32.000 We have the economy that's going in the right direction.

00:13:33.000 The border is completely secure.

00:13:35.000 We're winning at the Supreme Court.

00:13:37.000 We are drill, baby, drill.

00:13:38.000 Gas prices are going down.

00:13:39.000 He's ended three wars and probably four.

00:13:43.000 We are entering into an incredibly positive era.

00:13:47.000 And if you are in a place of negativity, you are choosing to be in that place of negativity, in that cynicism.

00:13:52.000 It is easy, even in the most peace and prosperous time, to say, I don't like this or I don't like that.

00:13:57.000 That is a mindset.

00:13:59.000 And you got to change and reconfigure your worldview.

00:14:02.000 You need to choose to embrace the winning.

00:14:04.000 That doesn't mean you have to be unapologetic about everything.

00:14:08.000 Even Elon Musk.

00:14:08.000 So Elon Musk is going after Donald Trump relentlessly.

00:14:11.000 And then even he last night was like, well, you got to give credit where credit's due.

00:14:15.000 Him ending this Israel-Gaza war would be a major accomplishment. 0.99

00:14:19.000 Even Elon Musk comes out and says, credit where credit is due.

00:14:23.000 Governing is hard, and we have to be solution-focused.

00:14:28.000 It's one thing just to catawa all the time.

00:14:30.000 Oh, I wish thing.

00:14:31.000 Okay, got it.

00:14:31.000 Fine.

00:14:32.000 We have power, and it's time for us to use that political power.

00:14:35.000 Here is my suggestion.

00:14:36.000 It is a two-tiered next approach of this administration.

00:14:40.000 Pass the big beautiful bill.

00:14:41.000 By the way, in the next reconciliation bill, I know that we got to keep the heat on.

00:14:45.000 We got to get rid of all the green new scam stuff. 1.00

00:14:46.000 We need more spending cuts.

00:14:48.000 I know the likelihood of that is low because D.C. does what D.C. does, but we have to keep the pressure on.

00:14:52.000 But the top other two things that are priorities, the cities and the cartels, President Donald Trump should go all in and make an argument that the reclamation of our country goes straight through Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York.

00:15:04.000 It goes straight through the cities.

00:15:06.000 We need mass deportations. 0.90

00:15:08.000 We need an end to urban crime.

00:15:09.000 Through the cities goes the country.

00:15:11.000 You cannot abandon your great cities and also save the country.

00:15:15.000 You could add San Francisco.

00:15:17.000 You could add Seattle.

00:15:17.000 You could add Denver.

00:15:18.000 You could add Atlanta.

00:15:19.000 But the three big ones are L.A., Chicago, New York.

00:15:23.000 Those are the three big regions of the country, East, Midwest, West.

00:15:27.000 Three of the biggest cities in the country.

00:15:28.000 On top of that, then, I think President Donald Trump should lean in to a soft war against the cartels.

00:15:34.000 Check more of the containers that are coming through the ports of entry.

00:15:37.000 Assist the Mexican Marines in any way that they want to go after the cartels.

00:15:43.000 Draw a line in the sand and say that the Cinerola Drug Cartel is not going to continue to kill 100,000 people a year.

00:15:49.000 The Cinela Drug Cartel should be the focus of our intensity, and they're an even bigger immediate threat than Iran and Russia and anything else. 1.00

00:15:56.000 The Cinerola Drug Cartel is killing Americans every single day via drugs, via weapons, via human smuggling.

00:16:02.000 And I'll tell you, if you want to excite the base, if you want to excite everyone in this audience, have a rallying cry against the Mexican drug cartels.

00:16:11.000 The Big Beautiful bill is going to fund deportations unlike anything this country has ever had.

00:16:16.000 We're going to go to 2,000, 3,000, 4,000, 5,000 deportations a day.

00:16:20.000 You're always going to start to see a massive increase in American wages as soon as these deportations happen.

00:16:25.000 And we still have 90%, about 90%.

00:16:29.000 We still have like 85% of President Trump's administration remaining.

00:16:33.000 And remember, a one to 10 ratio of arrests to deportations of self-deportation.

00:16:37.000 So we deport one person, you get 10 people to self-deport.

00:16:41.000 It's amazing.

00:16:42.000 So we scale this up.

00:16:44.000 We could go to 10, 15 million people to port it out of the country, which is priority number one for this entire administration.

00:16:50.000 And that number and that ratio held during Eisenhower's entire administration.

00:16:56.000 The moment that we are living today, we're going to look back three years, four years, five years from now, be like, wow, we had it so good in that summer of 2025.

00:17:04.000 Gas was low.

00:17:05.000 Wages were starting to go up.

00:17:07.000 Inflation was cooling.

00:17:08.000 The border was secure.

00:17:09.000 He's ending wars.

00:17:11.000 And instead of nitpicking on things, and look, you can always have feedback.

00:17:15.000 Things can always get better.

00:17:16.000 But my challenge to you is take the win.

00:17:20.000 Enjoy it.

00:17:21.000 Life is short and Biden's no longer president.

00:17:25.000 And it's the beginning of the golden age.

00:18:25.000 That's Angel Studios, Stories That Matter.

00:18:29.000 Let's just go through the details of the bill.

00:18:32.000 So the House did a version and they sent it to the Senate.

00:18:36.000 So the House thought it was going to get better in the Senate.

00:18:40.000 Now, it did get better in one way, is that it reduced the salt cap.

00:18:43.000 I think salt is a total scam.

00:18:44.000 I think we should get rid of salt.

00:18:46.000 I don't think we should subsidize people in blue states like California and New York just because they have high taxes.

00:18:53.000 So here's where things currently stand.

00:18:55.000 It ends the weaponization of permitting and unlocks domestic oil, gas, and nuclear power.

00:19:01.000 It allows, it rescinds billions of taxpayer dollars poured into the Green New scam, ending handouts to special interests and radical climate activists.

00:19:12.000 Now, some people say that this Senate bill still has some of Joe Biden's provisions from the Inflation Reduction Act.

00:19:20.000 I would like to dive into that a little bit deeper and get clarity of whether or not that is true.

00:19:26.000 But I would like to know, if there are any portions of the Inflation Reduction Act remaining.

00:19:31.000 Why are they remaining?

00:19:32.000 And number two, how do we then get rid of them?

00:19:34.000 Okay.

00:19:35.000 It permanently secures our border.

00:19:37.000 This is the biggest victory of all the different elements by far.

00:19:42.000 It delivers on President Trump's law and order agenda.

00:19:45.000 It supports Border Patrol and ICE with a $10,000 bonus annually over the next four years.

00:19:51.000 It delivers needed reinforcements, hiring 10,000 new immigration, customs, and enforcement personnel, 5,000 new customs officers, and 3,000 new Border Patrol agents, and achieves our mass deportation agenda with at least 1 million more annual removals, with at least 1 million more annual removals.

00:20:11.000 That is the baseline.

00:20:13.000 So that does not count self-deportations.

00:20:15.000 That does not count self-deportations.

00:20:17.000 And understand, when you have Alligator Alcatraz and you have all these raids going on, people are going to say, forget it.

00:20:23.000 I'm just deporting myself.

00:20:24.000 I'm getting out.

00:20:25.000 It delivers the largest tax cut in history for middle and working class Americans.

00:20:31.000 Bigger paychecks of over $10,000 more in annual home take-home pay for Americans.

00:20:38.000 No tax on tips.

00:20:39.000 No tax on overtime.

00:20:41.000 Now, this says no tax on Social Security.

00:20:43.000 I want to be careful reading off this, guys.

00:20:45.000 I don't know if that's exactly true.

00:20:47.000 Can you double check that?

00:20:48.000 Because there's been some debate of whether or not no tax on Social Security remains.

00:20:52.000 This is not correct.

00:20:53.000 So they're delivering some tax cut for seniors, but I think a tax cut on Social Security remains.

00:20:59.000 So I don't know what document this is, but I think this might have been the proposed one.

00:21:04.000 I don't think that's actually what ended up being in the final version.

00:21:09.000 So there's a lot of debate of whether or not there's no tax on Social Security.

00:21:13.000 Can we get to that?

00:21:13.000 Okay.

00:21:14.000 No tax on Made in America auto loans protects 2 million family farms from punitive double taxation.

00:21:20.000 It's a permanent increase in the child tax credit supporting over 40 million families.

00:21:25.000 A vote against a bill would be the largest tax increase in American history.

00:21:29.000 It rescinds billions in green new scam funding.

00:21:32.000 It restores fiscal sanity, which slashes over $2 trillion.

00:21:37.000 Now, I wish it would slash even more, but that's over 10 years, but it is what it is.

00:21:41.000 It eliminates waste, fraud, and abuse from bloated federal programs, permanently secures our borders, and it deports at least 1 million illegals in a year.

00:21:53.000 Again, I'm getting a lot of conflicted information on the no tax on Social Security, so we have to check that out.

00:21:59.000 So the Senate bill adds a bonus, a senior bonus of a tax deduction up to $6,000.

00:22:06.000 So it's not no tax on Social Security, but it is a bonus for senior citizens, is what it is, a tax bonus.

00:22:12.000 It finishes phase two of the border wall.

00:22:14.000 It shifts the cost of adjudication in the immigration system from American taxpayers to aliens, which is remittances.

00:22:22.000 Hires 10,000 new ICE agents.

00:22:24.000 We went through that.

00:22:25.000 Funds the Golden Dome.

00:22:27.000 And it delivers the largest Coast Guard upgrade since World War II.

00:22:31.000 Modernizes our military.

00:22:32.000 Ends Biden's war on American energy and drives down energy costs.

00:22:37.000 Unleashes domestic oil, gas, and nuclear power, restoring energy independence.

00:22:42.000 Apparently, they couldn't get to no tax on Social Security without 60 votes.

00:22:48.000 And remember, we did not have to negotiate with Democrats on any of this stuff.

00:22:52.000 This was a pure one-party victory.

00:22:55.000 And just understand what the Democrats just voted against.

00:22:58.000 The Democrats just voted against no tax on tips, no tax on overtime.

00:23:02.000 So for all of the work, of all the victories, the ones that I'm most proud of of this entire bill, it is border and no tax on tips, no tax on overtime.

00:23:11.000 Let me tell you why I'm so proud of the no tax on tips, no tax on overtime.

00:23:15.000 When I'm traveling the country and I'm doing events and I have to wait backstage in sometimes kitchens of hotels or meal preparation areas in conference centers, there's the working class there and they're tired. 1.00

00:23:29.000 They're on their feet all day long and they're asking for selfies and they're taking pictures and they're like, we follow you on TikTok.

00:23:35.000 We follow you on Instagram.

00:23:37.000 We follow you on social media.

00:23:39.000 Those people deserve a chance finally to have a victory.

00:23:43.000 And the people that are backstage that I encounter, the working class people that serve us our meals at these conference centers that clean our auditoriums.

00:23:53.000 And honestly, the waiters and waitresses that work their tail off in thankless, very hard jobs.

00:23:59.000 By the way, always be kind to your waiters and waitresses.

00:24:02.000 It's a tough job.

00:24:03.000 You should give them big tips.

00:24:04.000 I try my best to.

00:24:06.000 I'm a big believer in being kind to those that serve you food.

00:24:11.000 A lot of these people are second or third jobs.

00:24:14.000 They're single moms. 1.00

00:24:15.000 They're in a tough position.

00:24:17.000 And I just see, you could tell a lot about somebody on how they treat a waiter or waitress.

00:24:23.000 There's a very interesting trick.

00:24:25.000 I got this, I think, from Dennis Prager.

00:24:27.000 If you want to learn a lot about someone that you are dating, especially it's better for a man to do this, but it works either way.

00:24:34.000 Get to a restaurant that you are having a planned date at 30 minutes ahead of time.

00:24:40.000 Say, hey, I'm going to pay for the whole meal, which of course the man should always pay for the meal.

00:24:45.000 And go to the waiter and say, okay, I want you to mess up the order of my date. 1.00

00:24:53.000 They might order the chicken tenders and I want you to give them a burger.

00:24:58.000 Do it intentionally.

00:24:59.000 I want you to do this because I want to force a scenario where I see how the person reacts.

00:25:05.000 And it's a very interesting test because you'll learn a lot about the person that you're on the date with.

00:25:11.000 So the individual you're on the date with orders, you know, chicken tenders and said they get a burger.

00:25:19.000 And immediately you'll be able to see that person. 1.00

00:25:21.000 Oh, that idiot waiter messed it up. 1.00

00:25:23.000 And how they communicate to the waiter will be very, or waitress will be very important. 1.00

00:25:28.000 Excuse me, I did get the chicken tenders.

00:25:30.000 If you could clear that up.

00:25:32.000 Or is it like, hey, weren't you listening?

00:25:34.000 I got the, and you'll learn a lot about the character or lack thereof of the person that you want to hopefully marry.

00:25:45.000 It's a way to judge their smugness and it's a way to judge who you are courting.

00:25:50.000 My wife, the first date we had, she asked the waiter their name.

00:25:53.000 It was like, wow, I've never had anyone.

00:25:54.000 So what's your name?

00:25:55.000 I want to know your name.

00:25:56.000 He's like, so personal.

00:25:57.000 It's so beautiful.

00:25:58.000 It was so intimate.

00:26:00.000 And finally, we now have a tax bill that doesn't just deliver for the billionaires or the oligarchy, but it delivers for the working people.

00:26:08.000 In fact, I was talking to a very, very high-profile person that used to be high-level in American politics before.

00:26:14.000 They said, why is it that we want to have no tax on tips?

00:26:19.000 That's like pandering.

00:26:20.000 I said, hold on.

00:26:20.000 We do nothing but pandering for the ruling class in our tax code the last 30 years.

00:26:26.000 Give working Americans a break for once. 1.00

00:26:29.000 And by the way, for people that say, oh, the no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, that's going to be abused.

00:26:33.000 It's capped at like $25,000 a year.

00:26:36.000 Meaning that it's not taxed off the $25,000.

00:26:39.000 Otherwise, you know, I could be like, oh, my entire income is tips.

00:26:43.000 Like, okay.

00:26:43.000 So there is a cap on the capacity to be able to abuse the system.

00:26:51.000 But when I go out to eat, when I go out to my favorite Italian restaurants in Arizona, even when, you know, people go out to Buffalo Wild Wings, which I would say Buffalo Wild Wings is good as a novelty thing once or twice a year.

00:27:06.000 Buffalo Wild Wings is the best because they got the most screens.

00:27:08.000 So during March Madness, maybe during a great college football game, I'd say Buffalo Wild Wings is passable.

00:27:14.000 But you know how tough the waiter life is?

00:27:17.000 They're up till 10, 11, 12, midnight, and it takes a while to wind down.

00:27:22.000 They don't earn the money that they always deserve, and they are totally reliant on tips and on the nasty. 0.99

00:27:28.000 Most people are just jerks, and some people give like no tip whatsoever. 0.99

00:27:33.000 By the way, that is a big difference between European and American culture. 1.00

00:27:36.000 American culture, we are very, very generous tippers.

00:27:39.000 Europe, almost no tips at all.

00:27:41.000 Like nothing.

00:27:41.000 It's like an unheard of concept.

00:27:43.000 So if you tip like Americans in Europe, the waiters are like, oh my goodness.

00:27:48.000 They never heard of something like it.

00:27:50.000 And not to mention people that are reliant on overtime.

00:27:52.000 So think about it.

00:27:53.000 Cops are now going to get a huge tax break. 0.77

00:27:56.000 Firefighters are about to get a huge tax break.

00:27:58.000 Union workers.

00:28:00.000 A lot of people say, well, I'm not on overtime work.

00:28:03.000 But think about cops right now, police officers right now in Chicago that are having to do the summer wave of crime that happens every summer in Chicago.

00:28:11.000 And they have to go work double overtime.

00:28:13.000 That overtime will now be tax-free.

00:28:15.000 That is more money back in your pocket.

00:28:18.000 Biden didn't do it.

00:28:19.000 Bush didn't do it.

00:28:20.000 Remember, approximately half the country does not have $1,000 in savings for emergencies.

00:28:26.000 This is the greatest tax cut for the people that were never thanked properly during COVID, that were never thanked properly for keeping the economy going.

00:28:36.000 The truck drivers, the people that work in manufacturing plants, hourly workers, and those in industries where overtime is common, such as retail, healthcare, construction, manufacturing, hospitality, they rely on overtime to supplement their income.

00:28:49.000 They would benefit so significantly from a tax exemption on those hours.

00:28:53.000 And this is the middle class.

00:28:54.000 You want to rebuild the middle class? 0.97

00:28:56.000 This is what it looks like.

00:29:00.000 Private student loan debt in America totals over $300 billion.

00:29:04.000 About $45 billion of that is labeled as distressed.

00:29:07.000 WhyReFi refinances distressed or defaulted private student loans that others will not touch.

00:29:12.000 WhyReFi can reduce your monthly payment and guarantees interest rates under 6%, ensuring affordability and financial relief.

00:29:47.000 And do you have a co-borrower?

00:29:48.000 Well, why ReFi can get them released from the loan.

00:29:50.000 That is whyrefi.com.

00:29:54.000 No tax on overtime is massive.

00:29:56.000 That one is also as big as the no tax on tips.

00:29:59.000 And it's easy for those of us, like I host a radio program.

00:30:03.000 We're doing incredibly well.

00:30:04.000 Praise the Lord.

00:30:05.000 I'm just so detached.

00:30:07.000 It's easy to get detached from the overtime tip world because of all the inflation that Joe Biden and massive reckless spending gave us.

00:30:16.000 We're in a tough spot.

00:30:18.000 And President Trump is digging us out of that economic ditch.

00:30:22.000 By the way, imagine the midterm angle of all this and the 2028 angle.

00:30:26.000 Democrats are voting against no tax on tips, no tax on overtime.

00:30:30.000 And this is, I want to get to the no tax on Social Security thing because it's technically true.

00:30:36.000 I'm going to read this.

00:30:37.000 The White House just sent this to us.

00:30:38.000 The White House is watching the show and they're working their tail off.

00:30:43.000 So it adds a deduction.

00:30:44.000 So, quote, a married couple of seniors both receiving the average $24,000 Social Security income, the couple will have a total of $48,000 in annual income.

00:30:54.000 Of that most will be 85% of it is taxable.

00:30:57.000 Under the Big Beautiful bill, this couple would be entitled to deductions that exceed their taxable Social Security income.

00:31:03.000 So consider the case of a senior filing a single tax return, receiving the average retirement benefit of approximately $24,000.

00:31:12.000 The maximum amount of Social Security included in taxable income is 85% of the benefit, which would be $20,000 in this case.

00:31:19.000 Under the Big Beautiful bill, in 2025, the senior would be entitled to $23,000 in deductions.

00:31:24.000 So the Big Beautiful bill would lead to deductions that exceed the senior's taxable Social Security income.

00:31:30.000 So it adds a deduction that low-income seniors will qualify for.

00:31:34.000 So it helps seniors.

00:31:36.000 They couldn't get to the Social Security threshold without 60 votes.

00:31:39.000 It's not all Social Security, but you know what?

00:31:41.000 Seniors with high incomes shouldn't be tax-free on this. 1.00

00:31:44.000 Seniors in America do very well, but low-income seniors, we are there for you.

00:31:47.000 I think that's legit.

00:31:49.000 Low-income seniors, that's fine.

00:31:51.000 No tax on tips, no tax on overtime.

00:31:53.000 Everybody, what is the priority here?

00:31:56.000 The priority is a working-class tax bill for once. 0.87

00:32:00.000 Finally, we have a working-class perspective.

00:32:02.000 This is much better than even the Trump tax cuts of 2017, which this expands.

00:32:06.000 It is time that the people that built the Trump movement start to be able to have more take-home pay.

00:32:12.000 I want you to imagine people in overtime.

00:32:14.000 A lot of people in hospitality this summer in Disney World, in hotels, in conference centers in Vegas.

00:32:21.000 They're going to be working overtime.

00:32:22.000 Cops, firefighters, EMTs, nurses.

00:32:27.000 So all of a sudden, if you're now going to go, if you're going to do a double, basically two shifts in one nonstop, the overtime is now tax-free.

00:32:35.000 That is a working class stimulus.

00:32:37.000 By giving workers who receive an overtime an after-tax boost without having to increase their base wages, it helps employers as well.

00:32:46.000 So here's the bottom line: we, the people, the everyday citizens, benefit.

00:32:52.000 By giving workers who receive overtime an after-tax pay boost without having to increase their base wages, employers may feel less pressured to have to dive into non-productive means.

00:33:06.000 Let's play one last piece of tape.

00:33:08.000 Let's play CUT 327.

00:33:10.000 So we're going to look at the strongly approved numbers.

00:33:12.000 So this isn't just Republicans who like Donald Trump.

00:33:15.000 This is Republicans who love Donald Trump.

00:33:18.000 And he's up like a rocket.

00:33:19.000 Look at this.

00:33:20.000 In July 2017, the strongly approved was 53%.

00:33:23.000 That's pretty good.

00:33:24.000 But look at where he is now.

00:33:25.000 63% of Republicans strongly approve of the job that Donald Trump is doing about five months into his presidency.

00:33:33.000 Republicans love Donald Trump the way that Americans love Disney World.

00:33:38.000 The bottom line is 63%.

00:33:41.000 That is a huge, huge base.

00:33:43.000 And of course, it's just part of a Republican base in which about 90% of them overall approve of him, including the somewhat approves as well.

00:33:50.000 Summarize this all together.

00:33:51.000 Seniors are getting a tax break. 0.99

00:33:53.000 It's no tax on tips.

00:33:54.000 It's no tax on overtime.

00:33:56.000 We're getting incredible energy production.

00:33:58.000 Gas prices are going down.
