Speaker 1 (00:19):
Good Wednesday morning. So nice to have you with us

The Senate has passed Donald Trump's Big, Beautiful Bill. It

desk for a signature and still online for a July
fourth signing. So what made it into the bill that
(00:43):
is now headed back to the House from the Senate.
I break it all down for you. But first, right now,
all of us, our help is needed with the people
that are under attack in Israel. We know that Israel
is at war with Iran, a nation that is vowed
to wipe Israel and in the United States of America
off the map. In a necessary act of self defense,
(01:05):
Israel struck Iranian nuclear facilities, military targets, and their top leadership,
and right now, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews
is on the ground preparing large scale distributions of life
saving food, first date and emergency kits, especially to Israel's
most vulnerable people, the sick, the elderly, children, and families
(01:27):
that are in great need. The Fellowship is also making
sure that hospitals, emergency rooms, and shelters are fully stocked
with critical and life saving medical supplies. But the Fellowship
needs your most generous gift today to make this work possible.
If you want to stand with the people in Israel
and you want to bless them and support them as
(01:49):
they are under attack, now is your time to stand
with those that are the most vulnerable in Israel. You
can call them and give your donation right now to
have an impact virtually instantly on what's going on. Eight

It's the forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Story number one.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Congratulations America. The Senate has passed Donald Trump's Big Beautiful Bill.
Now one final step from President Trump's desk as it
goes back to the House, and President Trump is very
excited about what is happening at the moment. Now, the
Senate passed the Big Beautiful Bill Tuesday after the longest
(02:47):
in history, a twenty seven hour amendment vote rama. It
is a new record, and Vice President JD. Vance casts
a tie breaking vote on final passage, as well as
during a couple of the final amendment votes beforehand. Now,
the bill includes an enormous assembly of Trump campaign promises
(03:09):
on border security, energy, national security issues, spending cuts, and
also massive tax cuts for all Americans. The bill also
includes medicaid reforms and an increase in defense spending, putting
America yet again. First. Now, it did not come easy.
(03:30):
Tensions have been high at times, but we're at the
end now, is how centter Lindsey Graham put it, saying
the Budget Committee chairman that the enthusiasm through bloodshot eyes, well,
it was still there during the final vote series. The
final series of votes also came after an agreement ensuring
that the Majority Leader, John Thune had the votes to
(03:53):
pass the legislation and wrap up amendment votes as well.
But in the spirit of the exercise. Last minute drama
cast the bill's future into real question, as many were
worried if you could buy off a member of the
Senate to get them to switch their vote. Finally, at
ten to twelve am Eastern Standard time, senators were instructed
(04:18):
to make their way to the floor and planned to
be in their seat in fifteen minutes. Over an hour later,
a large group of Senators was still huddling at the diocese,
negotiating with the help of Senate staff, including the Senate Parliamentarian. Eventually,
an agreement was reached and the Senate, very anxious to
(04:42):
end the marathon session, breezed through the final votes. Senators
Tom Tillis and Senator Ran Paul, both Republicans who voted
against proceedings to the bill, voted against the passage as well.
They were joined by liberal Republicans Susan Collins, whose amendment
(05:02):
to raise taxes on billionaires to pay for a fund
for rural hospitals was soundly defeated by the way her
amendment received a quote bipartisan of just twenty two Senators
voting in favor of it. We also had some fireworks
from Senator Lisa Murkowski, you know her as the Republican
(05:23):
from Alaska required a lastman agreement on a Medicaid carve
out for her state after the Senate Parliamentarian rule. The
prior agreement violated the much ballyhooed Bird rule, which governs
what can be included in reconciliation bills. Her withdrawal of
(05:43):
support despite receiving an additional carve out for Alaska on
food stamps threw the bill's passage into real question. So
what happened next? Well, the big beautiful bill now heading,
thank goodness, to the House, where a one full of
moderates have protested the Medicaid reforms and a large block
(06:05):
of spending hawks, mostly consisting of House Freedom Caucus members,
are saying they want more spending cuts in line with
the version of the House bill that was actually sent
to the Senate originally. Now, the first procedural vote is
actually expected for Wednesday morning at nine am Eastern Standard time.
(06:25):
Trump is also mandating that July fourth deadline, and Trump
is likely to lobby, make phone calls, even talk about
primarying people and twisting arms whatever is necessary to secure
his signature legislative achievement. Now you may be asking yourself
what is actually in this bill that has left the Senate.
(06:48):
Let me give you that list because it's an important one.
Number one, this bill delivers the largest tax cut in
history of the United States of America for middle and
working class Americans. Bigger paychecks of ten thousand dollars more
in annual take home pay for families as well. A
(07:09):
massive campaign idea is now reality. No tax on tips,
which will expand middle class America like we've never seen before.
We also are going to reward people that work hard
with no tax on overtime, incentivizing people to work more
to get ahead, and something that should have happened a
(07:31):
long time ago. No tax on Social Security, giving more
security to seniors, especially when cost of living has skyrocketed.
We also have no tax on made and America auto loans.
Let me say that again, no tax on made in
America auto loans, which will help prop up American made
(07:54):
automobiles and incentivize Americans to look at America first. You
will also help with massive amounts of manufacturing jobs, keeping
Americans working in manufacturing. It also protects two million family
farms from punitive double taxation, something that's been a huge
problem in this country. Permanent increases to the child tax credit.
(08:19):
Let me say that again, permanent increases to the child
tax credit, supporting over forty million American families. Also, a
vote against this bill is a vote for the largest
tax increase in history, something that Republicans did a very
good job of selling to the American people. It also
in this bill recentded billions in green news scam funding,
(08:43):
which DOGE and the Trump administration had exposed in the
last several months. It restores fiscal sanity, slashing deficits by
roughly two trillion dollars. Yes, there are many in the
House that want more than that, and we'll have to
see what happens moving forward. We also know that this
bill eliminated waste, fraud, and abuse from the bloated federal
(09:08):
programs that we have now been exposing through DOGE and
permanently securing our southern and northern borders, something the President
said needed to be in this bill. We also know
that this bill deports at least one million illegal aliens
a year. Yes, that is also in the bill, And
(09:30):
it makes the largest investment in border security in an
entire generation, providing nearly one hundred and fifty billion to
secure our border and also to deport illegal aliens, which
the American people voted for. The bill also includes finishing
Phase two of the border wall, something Donald Trump campaigned
(09:52):
on back all the way in twenty sixteen, and it
shifts the cost of adjudication in the immigration se system
from the American taxpayer to the illegal aliens. We also
know that we're hiring it because of this bill, hiring
ten thousand new ICE agents, more than five thousand Customs officers,
(10:17):
and more than three thousand new border patrol agents, yet
again sending a message to the cartels and terrorists that
you don't want to try to sneak in to the
United States of America or ship your drugs into this country,
because we're coming for you. There's also funds for the
Golden Dome Missile Defense System to confront the twenty first
(10:40):
century threats, something the President and the DoD talked about
extensively with the American people. We know that we need
to put America first when it comes to our national security,
and that's exactly why the funds were included in this
bill for the Golden Dome Missile Defense System. We also
know the bill delivers the largest coast guard upgrade since
(11:02):
World War Two. Why are we doing that? Because that's
where the fetinyl is coming into this country and the
criminal cartels are clearly exploiting our open seas. Now we
will have the largest coast guard upgrade that we've had
since World War Two, something that needed to happen decades ago. Finally,
(11:22):
the bill modernized our military to ensure it has the
resources to be ready and encourages a lethal fighting force.
After four years of weakness by the Biden administration, we've
fallen behind China, but ninety longer. It also ends Biden's
war on American energy and drives down energy costs, something
(11:46):
that was important in this bill to make sure that
we as a nation are in fact energy independent, something
that the prior administration did everything they could to make
sure that we were weak as a nation. And it
all j Unleasha's domestic oil, domestic gas, as well as
nuclear power, restoring what made America great all along the
(12:09):
ability to function without relying on Middle Eastern countries or
anyone else that's producing oil around the world, including places
like Russia. So if you want to know what's in
this America, first, this big, this beautiful Bill Well, here's
what's in it Now, it moves back to the House
and hopefully it will be moving within days to the
(12:32):
President's desk for a big celebration signing on July fourth.
