Speaker 1 (00:02):
Welcome back to check the news.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Welcome to gray and ugly San Diego, the most overrated
city in the United States. Good to be with you.
I got Pastor Russell Johnson. Sorry for the late start.
Everybody but Pastor Russell had actual immediate to do Son
with Tommy Lauren today on Fox Radio and out kick
and everywhere else that's covered talking about what's going on Seattle.
He'll be with me tonight San Diego, along with a

(00:29):
slew of other people. Brian Houston, formerly of Hillsongs, is coming.
Ross Johnson, product of IVF Two Lesbian Mothers. If you
don't know that, then you haven't spent eight seconds with him.
It's literally the first thing that comes out of his
mouth today we're checking the news. I want to get
Pastor now listen. You don't have to comment on anything
that you don't want to comment on. You have an

(00:49):
actual ministry to protect, So don't let me drag you
down with me. You can you can just remain silent
at that, no pressure, Let's check the news. Prominent Roman
Catholic priest James Martin urges churches to celebrate pride month man.
You can barely tell his gay by looking at him
roll it.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
Can Catholics celebrate Pride Month when the LGBTQ community marks
its place in society.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
I'm generally against lip filler, especially for men, but in
this case I make an exception. Where are your lips?
You have like a poorly rendered PlayStation two character?

Speaker 3 (01:24):
Keep going is, after all, one of the seven deadly sins. Well,
first of all, I remember that there are definitions of pride.
The first is satisfaction that comes from your own accomplishments,
which can morph into vanity, which is bad. But the
second kind of pride is a consciousness of your own dignity,
and that's closer to what Pride Month represents. A celebration

(01:45):
of the human dignity of a group of people who
have been for so long treated like dirt, and for
the religious person, it's a celebration of them as beloved
children of God. It's especially important for churches to celebrate
Pride since a great deal of the region and even
violence that the LGBTQ community has faced has been motivated
by religion, or at least what people think religion teaches.

(02:08):
The Catechism of the Catholic Church asks us to treat
LGBTQ people with respect, compassion, and sensitivity, and participating in
pride events or at least supporting our LGBTQ friends is
one way to do this.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Just because you said I don't have any LGBQQ friends,
I actually don't even have any strade friends.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
Celebrate pride doesn't mean you have to agree with what
every video, every article, or even every float in a
parade has to say.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
It's more about just agree with it the modern rights
of this community, the right to live in safety, the
right to be treated as equals, and.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
The right to be fully welcomed into society. Besides, complaints
about the use of the word pride don't seem to
happen in other situations. People say I'm proud to be
Catholic or I'm proud to be an American, and no
one objects to it or says that it's vanity. Pride
is not about vanity, but human dignity. Maybe the best
way to think about pride is to imagine what you'd
say to a young person who finally summoned up the

(03:02):
courage to tell you that they were LGBTQ. You know
that God created them, you know that God loves them,
and you know that God wants them to accept who
they are. So you would probably say, I am so
proud of you for.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Being able to feel like you know me, that's the
kind of.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
Pride that we celebrate this month. So happy pride thoughts.

Speaker 4 (03:21):
Theologically, it's a dumpster fire. That's a that's a real
that's a real that's a real situation. I know that
Revival Today is working on their Pride Parade float featuring

(03:41):
featuring me and you driving down the front streets of Pittsburgh.
So I just I want to be an ally as
best I can. That's I was telling Tommy. She said,
you know, Russell, you think they got Pride Month in
the Gaza Strip And I said, well no, because if
they had any roofs left in the Goza Strip, they'd

(04:02):
be throwing people off the roofs.

Speaker 5 (04:03):
You know.

Speaker 4 (04:04):
So it's like in these like liberal Western like pseudo
democracies where people are so still consumed with this like
identity political type spirit where they do all his foolishness.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Next from yesterday with pain on Fox Business, US economy,
the economy to see much slower second half than investors expect. Now,
this is Brian Westbury, who I like, and he was
one of the only guys that didn't panic when Trump
did the tariff. So he's not a he's not a bear,
he's a positive guy. So for him, it's odd to

(04:38):
me that he didn't feel like it was going to
go down the toilet in the first half of the year,
but now he sees it slowing in the second half.
So at least I don't agree with that. But I'm
nowhere near as smart as him economically or probably any
other way. So I want to read the article.

Speaker 6 (04:49):
Go ahead, good because it's not the kind of news
that I guess people put out there.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
But check this out.

Speaker 6 (04:58):
The outsive recession this year. They've come down dramatically just
in the last month. This is on most betting sites.
This is caliche to thirty one percent from over sixty
percent just a month ago. Now, my next guest agrees,
since the second quarter will be strong, but for the
exact opposite reasons the first quarter was weak.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
Let's bring it first.

Speaker 6 (05:16):
Trust Advisors their chief economists Brian Westberry and Brian.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
You know, so I know you are.

Speaker 6 (05:22):
I guess The question is are you still seeing or
could slow down in the second half lead to a recession?

Speaker 7 (05:29):
You know Charles, I look back over the last four
or five years. Housing right now is the same place
it was in twenty and nineteen. And I'm not talking
about existing home sales where people are locked in because
of three percent mortgage. I'm talking about new home sales
and new home building. Automobiles are selling no faster today

(05:51):
than they were in two thousand and nineteen. Retail sales,
if you adjust them for inflation, are still the same
place they were for years ago. And so I look
at these three big areas of the economy and I go,
how did we grow two percent a year? And I
think the answer is the Fed printed a lot of money,

(06:11):
and we were running massive deficits. And now the Fed
money supply is flat again. The deficit is not where
I want it to be, but it's not going to increase.
And you start taking those things away that boosted the economy,
and I think we see a much slower second half
of the year than people expect.

Speaker 6 (06:31):
All Right, so you just mentioned the Fed right and
the debt right levels have grown.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
One thing.

Speaker 6 (06:38):
We're going to put up a chart here for the audience,
because federal debt grew at a slower pace in GDP
for a long time, right. You can see in this
chart here that was the norm, and then that all
changed after the last major recession, the Great Financial Crisis
two thousand and nine, where we saw, of course, the
federal debt is sore. It absolutely erupted.

Speaker 8 (07:00):
Ryan.

Speaker 6 (07:00):
But here's the thing, so did the stock market, so
did corporate profits. And it feels like in the question
I'm asking is, have we, somehow as a system forsaken
Main Street for the benefit of Wall Street.

Speaker 7 (07:11):
Yeah, Charles, absolutely. You know, if you go back to
let's just focus on the money supply real quickly M two.
The money supply was seven trillion dollars in two thousand
and seven, then we had the eight crisis, then we
had COVID, and it's now twenty one trillion dollars. In
other words, we've tripled the money supply in just eighteen years.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
If you have one.

Speaker 7 (07:35):
Hundred dollars bill in your wallet, sixty seven of those
dollars were created in just the last eighteen years, thirty
three in the previous two hundred. So guess what happens.
The price of homes goes up, the price of equities
goes up, and if you have assets, you win. If
you don't have assets that inflation kills you. And so

(07:57):
we really have. We've bifurcated the economy. These policies to
save us from these crises have actually made inequality a
lot worse and that that's bothersome to me. And at
the same time, government spending has gone from under three
trillion dollars a year to seven trillion dollars a year

(08:18):
a year, and we've run massive deficits. Most irresponsible government
budgets I've seen in my lifetime were in the last
couple of years. And I know you wanted to talk
about the Big Beautiful Bill, so I.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Don't want to steal that thunder. Let's I'm not going
to fix it.

Speaker 6 (08:35):
Yeah, let's segue right on into it. I've got the
one of the most recent posts here President Trump talking
about you.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Know, repeal Worth noting Pain is a Trump supporter and
Westbury is a Trump supporter. So whatever they're going to say,
if they say anything negative about the Big Beautiful Bill,
it's not coming from people that hate Trump. And then
I'm still making up my mind about it because it
is financially It's the one thing about President Trump I
have concerns about is he he likes borrowing money, and

(09:06):
he likes working the debt system. He doesn't. He never
ran his businesses of personal life debt free. He's a
leverage guy. And so I got, what are your thoughts
on this bill?

Speaker 4 (09:16):
I'm just glad that they finally got Eddie James in
a pinstripe suit.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
Yes, he looks great. Good job on the ozempic, Eddie.
Keep going.

Speaker 6 (09:23):
It's in the Green New Scam and the credits and spending.
One big beautiful bill, the biggest spending cuts in history.
But you're not happy with this bill, are you?

Speaker 2 (09:32):
No? I'm not.

Speaker 7 (09:34):
I mean, I hear like every time I listen to
a politician talk about this bill, they highlight certain little things.
But we are We're gonna cut spending in medicaid a
little bit, in the Green New Deal spending somewhat, but
we're also adding spending for defense and to defend our
borders and to send people out of the country, and

(09:56):
then all these emergencies that we have. And and so
what's happening is government spending is going to settle down,
even with the big beautiful bill, at about twenty two
twenty three, maybe twenty four percent of GDP so a
quarter out of every dollar we produce. Back in two thousand,

(10:17):
when Bill Clinton left office, we were spending about seventeen
cents out of every dollar, not twenty five. If you
go back to nineteen thirty, it was less than three
cents of every dollar. Seen, is the government grow and
grow and grow and grow.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
And the big beautiful bill.

Speaker 7 (10:35):
If we look at spending, it is not coming down
as a share of GDP. It's not going back to
pre COVID levels. It's not going back to pre subprime levels.
And that's Republicans have been promising that for years and
this doesn't do it. And then Elon Musk is not
happy with this bill. He came up with all these.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
Us with yeah, because he'd worked his tail end off
to cut a ton of money out and then it
just all got spend its like for nothing. He's livid. Huh. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (11:06):
And the reality is is that they're never really going
to balance the budget without like massive entitlement reform. And
entitlement reform is so deeply unpopular on both sides of
the aisle because.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
Cutting veteran benefits if you're Republican is bad. Cutting LGBTQ
centers you know, nobody wants cuts. It's like, once you
get used to spending money, it's very hard to quit spend.

Speaker 4 (11:30):
The dose cuts were awesome, but you know, in light
of a twenty four trillion dollar, you know, it don't matter.
It's just onesies and twosies. It's like, hey, we deleted
excess email addresses at NASA and it's gonna save you know,
forty seven a year. And you're like, that's awesome. Nobody cares. Yeah,
in one sense, and so.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
No, because all that work, what do they save two
hundred billion or something tops, And yet now you're gonna
you're gonna up the thing like four trillion.

Speaker 4 (11:57):
Thanks for watching Check the News.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
Well be right back after these messages. Welcome back to
Check the News.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
Cif discrimination against girls passing on new California track athlete
breaks down in tears after her California state four hundred
meters gold medal was taken from her after she celebrated
too much. Now this is where I part company with
a lot of conservatives. It's like when they showed that
high school graduation and everybody was dancing, and they say,
this is a shame. You know, if you're not careful

(12:31):
you're gonna turn into like the fifty five year old
people that were fifty five when you were a teenager.
There's nothing wrong with dancing a graduation and having fun.
This lady wins an event, celebrates by taking a fire
extinguisher with her team and hosing down the grass, and
they took her metal from her. Ridiculous roll it. I

(12:52):
worked so hard through that title.

Speaker 9 (12:56):
The greatest moment of sixteen year old Clara adams career
taken away from her because of a celebration after winning
the four hundred meter event at the CIF State Championships
with the time of fifty three point two four seconds.
Her dream of winning a state title went up in
flames after celebrating using a fire extinguisher.

Speaker 10 (13:17):
Was she blewed the fire extinguisher, the opponents were gone.
That was our moment of celebration. I mean, and CIF
officials made that about.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
This bus, like if you want a finer for whatever
the finance for using a fire extinguisher, because I think
I had to pay once from a summer camp when
I was a teenager. Do that fine her two hundred bucks?
Take her medal, you know, to win a track medal
in a state medal in California. It's now you won
the state medal in Vermont, where there's you only beat

(13:45):
out other white people and there's not many of them
to win the California state title and then get it
taken from me for that? What's that I could see?
I mean, if she burned an American flag and kicked
a baby spit on a veteran, maybe a fire extinguisher.

Speaker 4 (14:05):
That's actually how we celebrated memorial did.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
At the church. No wonder, there's so it's rioting. There's
more of the story. Keep going.

Speaker 10 (14:11):
The crowd went crazy. They loved it. The booth see
if booth went crazy. They loved it. But those few
guys and those jackets they took offense to it, didn't
like it.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
I don't get any I don't get why that's a
big deal.

Speaker 9 (14:22):
The North Salina's high sophomore grabbed a fire extinguisher from
her father and coach and extinguished off her spikes. Oh
deemed her celebrations.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
So it was their own fire extinguisher that they brought.
It was a planned celebration to fire extinguish her spikes
because she ran so fast. I like that. It's like
something you'd unlock in a video game. I don't. That
is insane. The striper Metal it has to be like
three judges from the klu Kluks plan that are like
in their mid hundreds.

Speaker 4 (14:52):
And what's funny about this those that's like in California,
which would totally give you know, a person a medal
if they were like a trans athlete. Yeah, beat out
all these chicks, but it was really a guy who
was doing this. But then, like God forbid, for like
one and a half seconds, you spray a fire extinguisher.
What that's a line too far?

Speaker 2 (15:09):
I don't get it. Keep going.

Speaker 9 (15:12):
It's been like stripping her of her title. It's a
celebration made famous by American sprint icon Maurice Green, who
enjoyed her paying homage to him and thinks she should
get her state title beat.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
Of course she should.

Speaker 11 (15:25):
When I heard, like because it happened, and then people
just started calling me all this girl just won the
four hundred? Redid your celebration? And I was like, huh,
good if he was away from everyone and not really reinstated.

Speaker 9 (15:40):
One clear infraction was Clara's father hopping the railing onto
the track after the race, but says he only did
that because of how CIF officials we're treating his daughter.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
There's a chef rulesting.

Speaker 10 (15:51):
You can't come over the wall, you can't be on
the infield, which is a world respected But at this
point I explained before about being a coach and a
father wearing the different hats. I saw official grabbed my
daughter by the arm. They were yelling in her face
when he grabbed her.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
By the arm.

Speaker 10 (16:04):
I went over the wall. At that point, I'm father now,
I'm not coachingmore.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
I'm over the wall now.

Speaker 9 (16:09):
The true fastest four hundred meter runner in the state
is back home without a medal. And even if the
CIF state as the champion, she never got that moment
of being crowned a champion.

Speaker 12 (16:21):
Even if everything goes in my favor in regard to
like getting my title back, I'll still never get that
moment back, Like standing on the podium as a sophomore,
I never get that as a sophomore.

Speaker 4 (16:37):
That's impressed.

Speaker 13 (16:39):
Man qualified from competing in the two hundred meter race
because of that celebration. And we did some research, analyzed
twenty years of state championships, found zero other times where
someone was disqualified and stripped of a title for unsportsmanlike conduct.
We reached out to the cif haven't heard anything back.
We also put up a poll on our Instagram Dan
asking our view they believe she should have been banned

(17:02):
for this or not.

Speaker 9 (17:03):
Over one thousand votes in counting eighty seven percent of
people saying she shouldn't.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
Have been banned for thirteen.

Speaker 9 (17:08):
The community has been overwhelming so far.

Speaker 4 (17:10):
And she's an immense talent and she's only a sophomore.

Speaker 9 (17:13):
Yeah, she's gonna heard him when he's stronger and better
than every you bet.

Speaker 4 (17:18):
All right, Thank you very much.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
Thanks guys, goot job with your Michael Scott ties. Next,

How would she, is, a young blonde Swedish woman in
revealing Western clothes, be treated by Hamas. Yeah, I what

(18:05):

it there yet.

Speaker 4 (18:07):
I think she's like on a sailboat with like a
Costco palette of supplies or something like that, you know,
to feed like four and a half people for thirty minutes.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
Even though the Hamas leadership would know they need to
treat her it because it's like a pr thing. There's
so many like depraved, demonized people. She's in trouble when
she gets there.

Speaker 4 (18:24):
It's bad news all around. And you know, there was
actually a chick from like Seattle. This is years ago.
I think she was a graduate from dub and she
went to like protest the like occupation of Israel, like
building houses or bulldozing houses or something. She actually got
like run over by a bulldozer because she was like
not intentionally, but she was just like in the mix.

(18:45):
And they tried to do all these lawsuits and legal
action against Israel and israels like you're the one who
came over here, right, We didn't act like you showed
up and tried to be like social justice warrior in
a war zone. So like nobody in Gaza knows Greta Thumberg.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
No, she's just gonna get get killed. Can I get
a close up on her sneakers? She looks like every
ARII employee. Number one, they're extremely dirty. Number two? What's
the brand? Look on the actual picture? Because it's two pixelater?
There is it? Fela? Where do you get Fela sneakers?

(19:20):
I would like if I could meet Greta's nice to
meet you, Miss Nembrook. Where did you get Fela sneakers? Yeah?

Median narrerat If, latest polling finds President Trump has a
higher approval rating than at this point in Obama and
Bush's second terms. Next Stephen Sorry. Speaker Mike Johnson says

(19:55):

You don't want to make Mike Johnson.

Speaker 5 (20:05):
Man, Well, I'll tell you I called elon last night
and he didn't answer it. But uh, I hope to
talk to him today. I mean, it's not you know,
it's very friendly and we can and we've laughed about
our our differences on policy before. I'm not saying about
this and I just I think he understands and he's
acknowledged him before. Uh, that this is so serious that

(20:26):
we can't fool around with it. I mean, the debt
cliff is approaching very quickly.

Speaker 9 (20:30):
Right.

Speaker 5 (20:30):
All the things that are in this bill are so
important for the US economy. It's cant fueled.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
The guy's tie over Mike Johnson's left shoulder, it's aggressive
like the alcoholic knot.

Speaker 4 (20:41):
Yeah, we call that the Kirkland signature.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
Next, Mike Johnson, the most boring man of life, makes
makes and makes Andy standing seem like Johnny Carson update.
He made it.

Speaker 4 (20:53):
On what Andy's actually going with Greta Togaza.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
So that'd be great. I would love that. Pay for
the trip. Oh remember, okay, play the clips so people
know what we're what we're talking about. So this lady
tried to bring a therapy kangaroo on a plane and
they denied her entry. We added in them.

Speaker 4 (21:26):
I saw this news story on X and I thought
it was a joke. I didn't know this is.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
But but you have to have your carry on bag
all the way unto the seat.

Speaker 12 (21:34):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
And then here is Ai the kangaroo making it on
the plane.

Speaker 4 (21:40):
And Spirit Airlines would have definitely let them on.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
And then the thing we found out kangaroos are like
extremely vicious.

Speaker 4 (21:49):
Oh yeah, they'll like claw you, like take out your
intestines with the close.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
Yeah. I had been brainwashed by cartoons to think that.
I actually thought they were like friend.

Speaker 4 (21:58):
With somebody in Seattle on a lot, I try to
bring a peacock, and I kid, you know, as a
true start, try to bring a peacock, and then it
was all upset because they didn't allow them. I've sat
next to all sorts of reptiles, birds, and it's like
therapy crocodile. It's always like people saying it's a therapy animal,
and you're like, but no, it's not. It's a damn
peacock in the cockpit.

Speaker 2 (22:20):
I have a therapy bobcat with rabies. What I mean,
you're getting boarding. I don't care that he's frothing, but.

Speaker 4 (22:25):
But please make sure to wear your mask though and
stay six feet apart. But yeah, but strap the kangaroo
in the exitisle.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
I'm on the spectrum. Let me my kangaroos. It by me. Next,
the number one threat. Okay, so here's Brendan Dilly, who's
as pro Trump as they get. Here's his take on
why you should be for the Big Beautiful Bill. The
number one threat to America is the current twenty million
plus invaders occupying our country from the Biden years. This
threat must be neutralized above all else. Once that's done,

(22:54):
you can re evaluate the landscape and move on to
other issues. The Big Beautiful Bill does this. So there's
a big cost in deporting twenty million people, which is
why most dictators opted for execution. But since we're flying
them all home, it's a lot of money. So the
argument for this bill is, chill, give Trump one year

(23:14):
to spend the money to write America and then they'll
address the debt. The problem is, I don't I don't
know if like next year they're going to propose a
bill of like twenty million dollars.

Speaker 4 (23:26):
Well, and if you lose the House next year, you
know you you don't have the option to pass the
legislation that you want in the first place. And so
it's like once a government program or a government level
of spending gets put into place, like historically, you never
go backwards, right, It's never like, well, we spent four
trillion last year, let's try to do three trillion this year.
It's always more because there's more stuff to pay. There's

(23:48):
more stuff. And I mean I read through the bill
and it does have some some pretty good provisions or
security things of that nature. But that that's like some
of my concerns. Thanks for watching.

Speaker 12 (23:58):
Check the News.

Speaker 4 (23:59):
Will be right back after these messages.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
Welcome back to Check the News.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
Trump closing the deal with China. We don't deserve this,
man Chi Jinping, Advice President Trump to China again. I
don't think he's gone next.

Speaker 7 (24:17):
Okay, just to reask the question, Stephen, what is.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
Your response, there's no pork in the bill. This is
Charlie Kirk's take or his guests take that there's no
pork in the bill. The only new spending in the
bill is to secure the homeland of the United states.
Now that's a lot of it because if you can't
ship all these people back to their countries for free,
and they want it done quickly, Trump's acting like he
has a two year term, not a four year term,

(24:40):
because there's no guarantee of what's going to happen in
the mid terms with the clown show. That's the GOP. So, however,
I don't know that you could say there's no pork
in the bill. I don't think if you look through it,
there's like no wasteful spending. Let's see their case roll it.

Speaker 14 (24:54):
The contention that the big beautiful bill does not cut
enough spending earlier, but.

Speaker 2 (24:58):
The same hairline as count shock.

Speaker 8 (25:00):
So first facts just off the top. According even to
the hovely flawed Congressional Budget Office score, the bill cuts
one point six plus trillion dollars in federal spending, including
the largest welfare reform and history, far larger by the
way than the much vaunted wealth reform from the ding
retier in the nineties. So a full welfare reform attached

(25:20):
to medicaid and who stamps the biggest weal for reform
and history, and then you get one point seven trillion
dollars one point six or so trillion dollars.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
And spending cuts.

Speaker 8 (25:29):
Now, with respect to the CBO score, that score solely
is referring to the tax cut. So this is there's
a been a deliberate bad faithe substitution argument.

Speaker 2 (25:42):
That's the main here.

Speaker 8 (25:43):
We have certain people, some libertarians, making bedfit arguments, saying, oh,
the CBO says it's going to explode the debt. The
CBO says are going to explode the data set, you know,
and then therefore be cons there's all this pork in
the bill. No, there's no pork in the bill. The
bill has been public for weeks. Every single provision is
just one campaign pledge, one promise, one campaign bow after another.

(26:04):
The only new spending in the bill is to secure
the homeland of the United States and saith American sovereignty,
fully paid for.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
By the way, can you check that, Femino on CHEDGBT
is the only new spending in the bill to secure
the US sovereignty in the border and defortations. That's difficult
to believe, but I don't. Steven Miller is usually on
the money, so I'll take his word for it for now.

Speaker 8 (26:25):
Keep going by increased vs. Fees on foreigners. But the
CBO score is just what they say is the cost
of extending the twenty seventeen Trump tax cut. For my
entire life, every conservative fiscal voice has understood that not
raising taxes doesn't cost anything. In other words, keeping the
current tax rates in place has no cost associate with it.

(26:48):
So that is a budget gimmick. The bill cut spend
it now For people who would say they'd like to
add more spending cuts, here's a very important point. There'll
be a process in the Senate. You will see what
comes out of that process. This bill was never sold
to the American people, not in the campaign, not in
the transition, as the one great big chance to permanently

(27:11):
solve America's debt problems. That kind of process requires significant
public buy in, because you're talking about changing benefit programs
that people rightly or wrongly rely on and depend upon.
It requires significant public education, It requires multiple steps.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
We would be.

Speaker 8 (27:28):
Committing the same air in a different direction as Barack
Obama did when he campaigned on dealing with the Wall
Street housing recession and the housing maildown, and he came
in and did Obamacare. If we just came in and
we said, Oh, I know. We campaigned on fully sealing
the southern border, deporting all the illegals, reclaiming our sovereignty,

(27:51):
reclaiming your national unity, unleashing American energy, the regular economy,
extending all these tax cuts them permanent, and making them bigger.
But I said, our first bill is going to be
principally a healthcare bill, right, that would be seen as
as a big switch on the American people, a bad
face switch. So yes, this bill will include very significant,
very important welfare reforms and deep puffsative spending cuts. But

(28:15):
it is a fundamentally bad faith argument to say the
tax cut and border bill is now a healthcare bill.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
At the end. Next, Trump says he's very disappointed with
Elon Musk.

Speaker 4 (28:35):
He said the most beautiful things about me, and he
hasn't said bad about me personally.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
But I'm sure that'll be next.

Speaker 4 (28:40):
But I'm very disappointed in Eland. I've helped elon a lot.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
Next, Okay, yeah, I don't know that it knows what
I was asking. I mean, I've so it's not only
spending stuff on the border.

Speaker 4 (29:03):
I just hope the big beautiful bill includes funding to
get Stephen Miller a new para ibors.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
Next Stephnlesson's like he'd be tough to have as a father.
Nancy referencing Robinhood while dressed like Robinhood deserves to get memes.
Roll it.

Speaker 7 (29:17):
This is Robinhood in reverse, taking resources from where it
is most needed.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
Hilarious. Next, I'll be an Oregon next week June ninth
to the thirteenth, Salem, Oregon four six seven five Portland Road, Northeast.
What's SD I know what SDD is one ninety Salem, Oregon,
nine seven three zero five. You can register it Revival
today dot com events. We have a gift if you
do that. I would love to see everybody in your

(29:44):
organ Next, Newsmax hosts and this is a little longer,
but I want to hear what this guy has to say,
which anytime I've looked at him, he just doesn't seem trustworthy.
That's just from looking at him. And I don't like
Newsmax because they made a big deal about the dominion
voting machines and then cave as soon as they were
threatened with a lawsuit. News Maxos says he thinks Trump

(30:05):
might be working in tandem with Elon Here to tank
his own bill in a four D chess move. I'll
hear it, and then let's say, let's see whether we
believe him or whether this guy's out of his mind.
Roll it okay.

Speaker 14 (30:18):
So the support for this bill seems to be falling
apart right in front of us. And instead of going
back to the drawing board and saying, oh hey, maybe
we as in Congress should trim it down a bit
and change some things and tweak some things. No, they're
just trying to keep it alive simply because.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
It team challenge that you put a suit.

Speaker 5 (30:36):
I called elon last night and he didn't answers it.
But uh, I'm not upset about this, and I just
I think he understands. He acknowledged him before.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
But I think anyone cares if Mike Johnson's upset. If
I heard Mike Johnson's upset with all right, just like
five to four, that little voice, I'm not upset. No
one cares.

Speaker 5 (30:56):
Keep going that this is so serious that we can't
fool around with it.

Speaker 14 (31:01):
Yeah, that's what we're concerned about.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
It is serious. And what's this guy's name on the show,
Carl Higbee? I think does he have any prior felonies?
I'm just curious. Those eyes look a little cracky. Yeah,
there's a little cracker, as you do in the system.
But again, I'm just going by appearance, which is not
how God. I just keep going.

Speaker 14 (31:24):
We're concerned about you guys fooling around with it. The bill,
the credit got there, okay, And Elon I think is
right off this one, because apparently you passed a bill
that no one read, that you told us was so
star spangled awesome, Mike that it had to be passed.
And Marjorie Taylor Green tweeted out today or actually yesterday,

(31:45):
full transparency, I did not know this section on pages
two seventy eight and two seventy nine the OBBB that
stripped states of the right to make laws of regulate
AI for ten years. She said, I'm adamantly opposed to
this a states rights I voted and this was in there.
This needs to be stripped out in the Senate.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
Look, I love Marjorie Taylor.

Speaker 14 (32:10):
Ninety nine percent of the time, pretty aligned with her
on most things. But is it too much to ask
that somebody who's getting paid one hundred and seventy four
thousand dollars of my tax money a year to read
the one major thing they voted on this month. I mean,
this is exactly what I've been ranting about for a month. Look,

(32:31):
I know Trump supported this bill, but we also know
that he is not thrilled.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
About the fire.

Speaker 14 (32:38):
Junk is there in this Like this bill. I have
a theory though.

Speaker 8 (32:43):
This is just my theory.

Speaker 14 (32:45):
But I've recently been pretty right m I had a
lot of things, So I'm just gonna roll with it.
I think Trump might be working in tandem with Elon
here to tank his own bill in a four D
chess move, Jesus my reasoning anything.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
I hear people for D chess as usually as a
centem for overthinking it.

Speaker 4 (33:03):
I don't even play one D chess.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
Do you believe that you can believe it? If I'm
not like trying to steer you in my direction, I'm
interested to hear what you have to say.

Speaker 4 (33:11):
No, it's like this over analysis. Yeah, there's got to be.
It's like the people who believe that there's a conspiracy
theory behind everything, or like the critics online who have
connected you or me to like everything in ar possible. Yeah,
you know you guys are.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
Sitting we all meet together.

Speaker 4 (33:30):
It's forty chess because they're all doing all these types.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
Of you know, that made me laugh on Righteous Gemstones
on on HBO that they showed that like all of
the top ministers like met together in like a conclave.
Because the left thinks that that we're like some Really
they don't. They don't realize like there's like no fellowship.

Speaker 4 (33:48):
We're actually starting at the nomination called the right meet.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
That's an insane thing. No offense to Carl Higby, who
I'm sure I could beat this, not out of me,
but that's an insane thing that they're Like Trump and
Elin are getting on the phone after they do this,
like hey, they're buying it. They're really fighting, and we're
gonna be able to if Trump wanted to tank the
billity to just tank it. Yeah, he doesn't need to
do this.

Speaker 4 (34:12):
Like they're secretly fighting because they're about to drop like
their next album on the rap label and they want to.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
Yes, the forty chess stuff gives me PTSD from the
COVID lockdouts. It's like, I'm telling you, just sit back.
Trump's got a plan. He's actually their America is actually
in corporation, and he's destroying the corporation to bring it
back to the seventeen eighty three America. So it's like
and it never played.

Speaker 4 (34:33):
Out, going back to the gold standard and your birth
certificate as a sign of indebtedness to the Vatican in Rome.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
Sydney pal is going to release the Kraken. We're still
waiting for it, Sidney. Whenever you want to release it.
Now's a good time. Take it. You got like four
good summers left. I'd do it soon. Continue.

Speaker 14 (34:49):
Yeah, I mean, like, how many people in the history
of ever, like Trump's entire political career of the last decade,
have come out against something Trump wants? And when has
Trump just not gone off and completely obliterated them on
like a global scale. Seriously, Ron Desanta says, one bad
thing about true Trump ruined his presidential career potential. Massy

(35:12):
ninety nine percent aligned with Trump, doesn't vote for the
Big Beautiful Bill, and Trump's supporting a primary against him.
So why hasn't Trump said anything negative about Elon?

Speaker 3 (35:23):
Oh?

Speaker 15 (35:24):
Maybe?

Speaker 2 (35:25):
So I'm guessing you're regretting doing this huge segment last night.
So your whole theory was destroyed early early this morning.
So this is from last night three or four or
yesterday afternoon I guess. Yeah, so then there's no need
to watch the rest because your whole theory got destroyed
that he hadn't said anything negative about Elon Carl. You

(35:45):
did your best. We all do our best. Footprints in
the sand. Next, where is this guy today? Elon Musk's
at Elon Musk asks on a public tweet.

Speaker 4 (35:57):
Thanks for watching check the News. We'll be right.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
Back after these messages. Welcome back to check the News.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
Yeah, I'm showing this to you. Is there a camera
behind me? I don't want to make sure. I'm not
going to show to you. It's not twenty twenty. How
did I do? Joe? Is that your a TAM pin code?

Speaker 15 (36:21):
Yeah, that's weird. I'm skeptical because I've got that pin
code in the mail.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
You know, he's calling his bank right now and be like, Joe,
do you know this is this guy? Been playing the
long game?

Speaker 12 (36:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (36:37):
I don't like that. That's wild. Next, Matt van Swall,
I'm done with the JUP, I'm done with Democrats. Let
me just tell you this. Everybody thinks that's like the
sign of intelligence. That's exactly what they want you to
do is just be done with the whole process. And
feel like you're so above it that all these people

(36:59):
are too heads on the same snake. It's all controlled
by the City of London. Yeah, then everybody with draws.
This is a bad take because you need to find
whoever's best and back them. That's how we stopped what
was going on in twenty twenty, twenty twenty one and
twenty twenty two. Everybody would have just backed off. It's
all fixed, it's all the World Economic Forum, it's all

(37:20):
United Nations, it's all Soros is money. Then it's easily accomplished.
That's as stupid, that's playing right into people's hands. Let
me see it again. I'm done with the JOP I'm
done with Democrats. I'm done with both. They work for
themselves and not for me. All true, but you can't do.

Speaker 4 (37:38):
That, and it's definitely an appeal to like a false intellectualism,
you know, like I'm above the political binary.

Speaker 2 (37:47):
Yes, we need a third way, right.

Speaker 4 (37:49):
Both of these guys are so corrupt, but I actually
have the middle ground. And it's you know, so deep
and so intellectual and so academic that it that it
doesn't fit within any of the political binary. People do
the same thing with you, know, uh churchwock either this
arm nor that I'm I'm just you know, I have
this new revelation on how important and prestigious.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
Yes, that is the political version of joining a house
church and.

Speaker 4 (38:16):
Where your friend is sitting on the couch and is underwear,
eating cheetos and can't exegute scripture and there's no accountability,
and of course you don't have to tithe, but you
sit around and you know, talk about, you know, your
last week's covenant eyes report, and then call it church
on a Sunday morning because you're too cool, you're above it.
I don't do organize religion because I really got a
revelation on what it really means to be the church.

(38:38):
I'm like, shut up.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
Yep, that's right, you got to you gotta pick one.
That that's the last thing before I read this, let
me uh ooh dang wow. Well when I put the
the the title up that elon and drumko nuclear, I
didn't know this was coming out because this just happened

(39:00):
like a few minutes ago.

Speaker 4 (39:01):
This is beyond me.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
I mean, I don't know of anything you could type
that would be a worse thing to go after somebody
time to drop the really big bomb Donald Trump is
in the Epstein files. That's the real reason they've not
been made public. Have a nice day, Donald Jays. Uh wow,
that's this. That's that's past dropping the sea word in

(39:24):
a mar Meryl argument.

Speaker 4 (39:26):
Maybe Joe Rogan's pen code is also in the Epstein files.
You know, you know, my wife also doesn't have my
pen code, because if she did, I would also be
in one point six trillion dollars a debt.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
Let me ask you a question. Percentage chance that that's true.

Speaker 4 (39:42):
I mean, hasn't Trump admitted to basically that in previous
statements and not saying that he was doing anything there?

Speaker 2 (39:51):
But he never went to the island. But it is
interesting that they were going to release it and then
backed out and they're they're not doing it.

Speaker 4 (40:00):
See, And I think, like obviously with the Epstein stuff,
you know, obviously he was involved in some less than
legal activities on his island, but he was also like
very connected, wealthy in all of those circles political media,
you know, things of that nature. Because remember they released
like a photo I think of Trump with Epstein at
some sort of event, you know, before everything like went public.

(40:23):
So I think with some of that, like, like, does
if somebody is in the Epstein files, does that also
mean that they was engaged in the same actual kind
of like with the Diddy parties, It's like half a
Hollywood has been there to a Diddy party, but that
doesn't necessarily mean that they was also doing all that
other stuff as well, right, because I know, I mean,
you spent time at Diddy parties, every Saints, every Center
as a future and so it's like, you know.

Speaker 2 (40:46):
I did it to save on pay per view costs
for boxing matches.

Speaker 4 (40:48):
Yeah, well, I mean same, Yeah, And Diddy parties are
similar to like the experience with TSA at the Philadelphia Airport. Right,
there's a lot of movement, people's clothes are coming off
aggressive harassment.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
Yeah, that is one wild tweet.

Speaker 4 (41:04):
That's beyond nuclear Yeah whatever whatever nuclear was.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
That's a next that's an insane thing. That's next level.
I'm going to copy and paste it and then just
sub Donald Trump's name in for other people's names all
day from my account.

Speaker 4 (41:18):
Yeah, I'm gonna be tagging random ministries. Yeah, starting with
Justin Peters.

Speaker 2 (41:22):
Franklin Graham. Get a call from the Billagram Associations lawyers.
We're going to sue you for a nine hundred million
dollars cent of it. Gun. It was just a joke.

Speaker 4 (41:30):
Just two Doe doge coin sound.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
Ladies and gentlemen. We have a great t shirt to
give to everybody who gives today as our way of
saying thank you. You have a chance to support two
ministries and not be like the people that call Russell
Johnson their friend and I support Russell Johnson, but they've
actually never done anything to support them. You can leave
that group and be somebody that supports Russell Johnson with
a very happy shirt. Just two best buds checking the note.

Speaker 4 (41:57):
And then we're actually getting that as back tattoos after
this broad cast.

Speaker 2 (42:00):
Lower back very Instagram. That's both Lange on our stomachs
giving the thumbs up to the camera with a drug
add olt tattoos.

Speaker 4 (42:08):
My tattoo is going to include a q R code
that redirects people that are giving.

Speaker 2 (42:12):
Which you like better, the first one or second one?
I'll let you pick which one we give out. There's two,
there's one, um two two.

Speaker 4 (42:21):
I'm at the eye doctor. Just two best buds checking
checking the news, checking the news. Yeah, like i I'm down.
I like uh I'm feeling it. I'm feeling the anointing
on that.

Speaker 2 (42:36):
David wrote about justin Peters. Uh that, which one did
you pick? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (42:44):
Sure, that, let's go that.

Speaker 2 (42:45):
Let's go with that.

Speaker 4 (42:46):
I don't I don't know what I'm staring at. There
was that maybe an angelic visitation in the room, and
it was catching my eye. I'm more spiritual than you,
so that's probably why I was looking in that direction.

Speaker 2 (42:54):
But which one are you doing?

Speaker 9 (42:59):
Hm?

Speaker 2 (43:00):
Yeah? Yeah, I like it this one?

Speaker 4 (43:06):
If people like donate to a certain level, will auto
pin sign these and send them out?

Speaker 2 (43:11):
I would like to do that. Then I could sign
all my books and stuff I want to get. How
much is an autopen? Yeah? I mean if you know,
off the top of your head it had been weird
ships Tuesday, you get off craigelist and used what shirt
are you going? I like that one?

Speaker 8 (43:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (43:30):
Whatever? This one? Yeah?

Speaker 11 (43:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (43:31):
Yeah, okay, so we're going to give that to everybody?
Oh thanks, Joe done? Probably the good ones twenty thousand.
So basically I could sign a book and upload it
and then that that thing will write it. Wet ink
in a book is how it works, right, It's like
literally a machine holding a sharpie, mimicking exactly how you write.

(43:55):
It's like an Elon robot. I might have to get
they'll come down and price.

Speaker 4 (44:01):
Yeah, for sure. If I could just get them the babysit,
my kids would be incredible.

Speaker 2 (44:06):
Just two best buds checking is that's our thank you?
Yes see that's it looks.

Speaker 4 (44:12):
Like a Michael J. Fox signature.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
But somebody would have to still hold the book there right,
so there'd be one Stephen just having to.

Speaker 4 (44:24):
Like, that's Camila juste the feeding the books.

Speaker 2 (44:27):
Oh yeah, pull her out of school, Camila, say goodbye
