00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody. I'm John Fossett with this Great America Show midday update for Tuesday, July 1st.
00:00:04.680 Happy Tuesday, folks.
00:00:06.320 The Senate finally has done its job.
00:00:09.320 After days and months and weeks of deliberation, the Senate has passed President Trump's big, beautiful bill.
00:00:15.720 Despite three GOP no votes, of course, J.D. Vance called in to be the tie-breaking vote.
00:00:21.980 The three no votes who look to hold up President Trump's agenda, of course, coming from Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky,
00:00:27.580 disgraced Senator Tom Tillis of North Carolina, and a usual name.
00:00:32.420 No, it's not Lisa Murkowski, actually. It was Susan Collins of Maine.
00:00:36.360 Murkowski did the right thing on this.
00:00:38.620 Now, the passage comes as the Marxist Dems stalled progress for hours this weekend
00:00:42.660 by forcing the poor Senate clerks to read 940 pages of the bill.
00:00:47.920 After that, the Senate embarked on a massive voterama, which ended late this morning.
00:00:52.440 The big, beautiful bill accomplishes several critical policies,
00:00:55.860 including making the Trump tax cuts permanent, eliminating taxations on tips and overtime for the next three years,
00:01:02.280 locking down the border, and taking an axe to Joe Biden's green energy scam.
00:01:07.900 That's right, folks.
00:01:09.300 The green energy scam is done.
00:01:12.300 Now, you heard me mention Lisa Murkowski.
00:01:14.120 She was a yes vote on this.
00:01:15.320 You're probably wondering, how did they get this rhino to come around?
00:01:18.600 Well, that was Senate Republicans at the last minute reportedly doubling the rural hospital fund
00:01:23.340 from $25 billion to $50 billion for Alaska.
00:01:26.960 Of course, Alaska's very rural population, that was how they were able to get Murkowski onto the right side of the bill.
00:01:33.560 President Trump earlier this morning headed to Florida to visit the new alligator Alcatraz.
00:01:39.900 That's going to be the new detention center for the illegal immigrants and the people who are being processed to be deported eventually in Florida.
00:01:47.300 In the Everglades, President Trump touting the big, beautiful bill and what it means for border security as it pertains to this new center.
00:01:54.860 Take a listen.
00:01:55.340 In total, the average illegal alien cost American taxpayers an estimated $70,000.
00:02:02.220 That's each $70,000.
00:02:04.820 I think that number is even low.
00:02:06.160 If you care about balancing the budget, the single most impactful step we can take is to fully reverse the Biden migration invasion.
00:02:15.380 One of the worst invasions we've ever had.
00:02:18.520 We've never had an invasion like this.
00:02:20.340 We've had invasions, but we've taken care of them.
00:02:22.580 We've never had a invasion like this, and it's with us, and we have some very bad people out there looking to do big harm.
00:02:29.720 That's why the one big, beautiful bill includes funding for 3,000 new Border Patrol officers and 10,000 new ICE agents, and I've gotten to know the Border Patrol.
00:02:40.300 Now, Elon Musk, of course, having some problems for the last two months, his total meltdowns whenever he's on his medicine or off his medicine.
00:02:48.020 I'm unsure what's going on with that man.
00:02:50.540 But Elon Musk vowing now, if the bill were to pass, which it now has passed, so now the ball is in your court, Elon, to primary any Republican who voted for that bill.
00:03:01.200 So you better get to that war chest, Elon, and start spending some money because a hell of a lot of Republicans voted for it if you're a man of your word.
00:03:09.220 President Trump unfazed, I guess, by what Elon has been doing.
00:03:12.800 But he was asked this morning before heading off if he's open to looking into deporting Elon back to South Africa.
00:03:19.320 Take a listen.
00:03:20.300 I don't know.
00:03:21.020 I think we'll have to take a look.
00:03:22.820 We might have to put Doge on Elon.
00:03:25.600 You know what Doge is?
00:03:27.860 Doge is the monster that might have to go back and eat Elon.
00:03:31.760 Wouldn't that be terrible?
00:03:33.460 He gets a lot of subsidies, Peter.
00:03:35.120 But Elon's very upset that the EV mandate is going to be terminated.
00:03:41.660 And you know what?
00:03:42.300 When you look at it, who wants?
00:03:44.200 Not everybody wants an electric car.
00:03:46.820 I don't want an electric car.
00:03:48.120 I want to have maybe gasoline, maybe electric, maybe a hybrid, maybe someday a hydrogen.
00:03:53.920 If you have a hydrogen car, it has one problem.
00:03:56.880 It blows up, you know.
00:03:58.360 So I'm going to give that one to Peter.
00:04:00.500 I'm going to let Peter test it off.
00:04:01.860 President Trump cracking some jokes on Peter Doocy of Fox News there.
00:04:06.860 But Elon's going to get himself into some problems.
00:04:09.740 Shares of his stock down sharply today after, like I said, having another one of those massive meltdowns that he's been having.
00:04:17.160 It's unclear what Elon wants at the end of the day, but he's not going to get it.
00:04:21.900 He knew President Trump was against the electrical vehicle subsidies.
00:04:25.800 He knew he was against all the Green New Deal scam before he endorsed him. 0.70
00:04:29.380 So why did he endorse him?
00:04:30.540 If he knew that was the case, did he think he was going to flip President Trump?
00:04:34.240 Do you think he was going to bribe him some way?
00:04:36.640 I think we all know President Trump is not a bribable person. 0.57
00:04:40.460 So it wasn't happening.
00:04:41.640 So what Elon Musk is doing, he's on his way for a collision course with a brick wall.
00:04:46.340 And he's only going to hurt himself and he's going to hurt Tesla.
00:04:48.720 And he's going to hurt the shareholders and the investors of Tesla.
00:04:50.820 And then I guess eventually you have a shareholder retribution wiggle start holding his feet to the fire because they get tired of his childish, childish ways.
