In Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, guest host Brian Mudd delivers breaking news as the House passes President Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (BBB), setting up an Independence Day signing. Mudd highlights this legislative victory as the culmination of Trump's agenda being "signed, sealed, and delivered by Congress." The host details how the vote came down to a narrow margin (216-214) with some Republican holdouts creating last-minute drama before the bill ultimately passed.
Mudd discusses several Trump administration victories, including ending Iran's nuclear program and securing NATO allies' commitment to increase their defense spending. He explains how the U.S. had been paying 68.7% of NATO's defense costs before Trump's intervention. The host also addresses immigration policy changes, referencing "alligator Alcatraz" - the transformation of a Manhattan five-star hotel from migrant housing into what will become America's largest detention and deportation facility, reallocated by the Trump administration.
Throughout Hour 3, Mudd reflects on Trump's pattern of political resilience, comparing it to his personal life: "on top of the world, gets knocked down, goes through all kinds of crap, and then comes back and wins even bigger than before." He mentions potential future legislative targets like eliminating the Department of Education and IRS, framing the BBB passage not as an endpoint but as "just the beginning" of Trump's agenda implementation. The segment concludes with Mudd referencing Trump's viral "Daddy, you're my daddy" moment from the recent NATO summit.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
We took the fem of money that Joe Biden allocated
to pay for the free luxury hotel rooms where it's
being hundreds of millions of dollars in New York City,
and we used it to build this project.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Yeah that the president's talking about Alligator Alcatraz. So the
way that deal had works is that under the Biden administration,
you would have an illegal immigrants, I'm sorry, an asylum
seeker that would sidle up to a border patrol agent
(00:36):
across the southern border and would go e sa this
where I say, assiled them. And you would have a
beaten down border patrol agent that would take a look
at the individual and go, yeah, you said the magic
a word, because they became magic award people. You know,
(00:58):
you just you say asylum and and that's you. You're good,
and like hand a brochure over to said asylum seeker.
They're like, all right, choose, choose your accommodations in the
United States, only the best for you, the asylum seeker,
at the expense of the American people. And you would
(01:19):
have the the illegal immigrants, I'm sorry, the asylum seeker going.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
About the five Star in Manhattan.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
And so that five Star in Manhattan just became a
ticket to Alligator Alcatraz. And that's what Trump is talking about.
The money the Biden administration have been allocating so we
could do things like, you know, pay five hundred dollars
a night to house illegal immigrants in Manhattan. Now it's
(01:49):
been reallocated in eight days to put together the country's
largest detainment detainment in a deportation facility. And so we'll
talk a little bit before the end of the show
about Alligator Alcatraz.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Brian Mudd in for Claim Buck and we.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Really are getting ready for the vote on the One
Big Beautiful Bill Act, the President's Agenda. House Speaker Mike
Johnson just wrapped it up. The vote is being called in,
so it does look like before the end of the
show we might have that vote for you. In the
breaking news about the BBB being on the way to
(02:23):
President Trump's desk in time to sign for Independence Day,
and that'll be no doubt, another monumental victory. By the way,
I am talking to you from my home station w
JNO in West Palm Beach.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
It is honor and a pleasure to be here with you.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Catch me socially at Brian Mudd Radio and you can
always catch the Brian Mud Show podcast wherever you get
your podcasts. So as we take a look out the
votes they are rolling in quickly, we might now looks
like we're going to have a vote in here pretty quickly,
unless you do end up getting a couple of drama queens.
(03:03):
We shall see. I think everybody's coind tired from sitting
there all night. But as we take a look towards
this monumental victory for President Trump having his agenda delivered
to him, you think about just the past couple of weeks.
And it started the show by talking about where we
are today compared to a year ago. I mean, just incredible,
(03:26):
how different there have been so many monumental victories for
President Trump. When you hear Trump himself talking up a
monumental victory, you might be left wondering which one is
he talking about. Maybe he's talking about ending Iron's nuclear
program in the related war. Maybe he's talking about getting
NATO country in NATO, as Biden would have said, NATO
(03:49):
countries to pay their fair share for military defense under
the Alliance. By the way, I did a whole analysis
on this deal. How much do you think that actually
is going to save us once NATO because again it's
just all numbers. It's kind of like the tax policy here.
You just hear some numbers thrown out there and it's like,
(04:10):
I don't know what that really means to me. Well,
this means thousands to you and your family. What's getting
ready to be voted on right now. But beyond that,
when you take a look at the NATO thing. Okay,
so Trump got everybody but Spain to go along with
five percent, what does that mean? So the United States
(04:32):
had been paying sixty eight point seven percent of the
defense spend of NATO, and what that tends to be
spun too, because people will say no, no, the NATO budget.
The NATO budget is different than defense spending by country.
And what had happened for well over seventy years of NATO,
(04:54):
pretty much since its founding.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Is that.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
It was abused by every single one of allies because
under NATO, if any country is attacked, it has acted
upon his votes. An attack on every one of the
NATO members. Every one of them were like, shoot, us
has it. We're not gonna worry about building up our defense.
Why would we Number one, We're probably not gonna be
(05:18):
hit because you know, nobody wants to mess with the US.
And second LA, I mean, look, they're they're gonna pay
for all the defense, and so that's how we became
everybody's defense. That's how this thing happened. NATO is the
reason that now we have been screwed playing the world's
policemen forever seventy years. When you hear Trump getting them
(05:40):
to five percent, it's not just like he picked a
number and said, yeah, do that. That is how much
to get them on a population adjusted basis to where
they'll be paying their fair share of it now except
for Spain. Spain was the one holdout, and Trump was like, yeah,
that's gonna work for them. When it comes to Spain's
(06:01):
trade deal, We're going to charge them twice as much
as everybody else. So that part won't work out for
spending the end either, maybe they'll say, oh, uncle, five percent.
So that means four hundred and forty billion dollars annually.
To give you an idea, sixty eight point seven percent
(06:22):
of the spend on defense in the NATO Alliance. The
US population is thirty five percent of NATO. When you
take a look at how much money it is to
us an annualized basis, we would be able to scale
back our military spend the point where they have ramped
up by four hundred and forty billion dollars a year. Again,
(06:44):
as we take a look at the dead and deficit
and all these things with the BBB and nothing with
any of the CBO projections or anybody else's projections. Factor
in money from tariffs, where we're now getting hundreds of
billions of dollars a year in tariff money coming in.
None of it factors and the increased growth, but it
also does in factor in, Hey, you know what, going forward,
(07:04):
we're not gonna need to spend as much money on
defense to be the world's placement, and that can be
hundreds of billions of dollars a year. So these are
all things that in time can be handled because Trump
is fixing all the other things that we've been screwed
on around the world. And so anyway, I digress, as
we're going through Trump's monumental victories, that that's something that
(07:26):
is really important that's been really overlooked. Just beyond hey,
Trump got what he wanted with NATO. You could be
talking about the the Chinese, the UK, the Vietnam trade
deals coming together. I talked about how significant all that
stuff was. Earlier could be talking about the S and
P five hundred NASEC reaching recognized. Now maybe Trump's monumental
(07:46):
victory just the economy generally, I mean, we are doing
the best. You know, mentioned the first hour of the
show when you on an inflation just basis, you take
a look at wages, you take a look at inflation.
We are doing the best on average that we've done
since he was last president, since before the China virus.
But of course the Act formally named the Big Beautiful
(08:09):
Bill is without a doubt, a monumental win that he
looks to sign tomorrow on Independence Day as plan. Well,
when President Trump actually was talking about monumental wins, all
of those things that have happened incredibly just over the
past two weeks, it was when he was talking.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
About the United States Supreme Court.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Because the other big wins of course at the Supreme
Court recently, and as Trump said last Friday, the Supreme
Court delivered a monumental victory for the Constitution, the separation
of powers, and the rule of law. And they did
this is importance We've already seen some of the legal shenanigans.
This came into play yesterday, that's starting to come out
of this. But just got to break this down for
you a little bit. So with that Supreme Court ruling
(08:55):
last week smacking down district court judges who thought they
were as powerful as the president of the United United States,
the anti American post constitutional district court judges today, you
know how many lawsuits there have been that have been
filed against the Trump administration. There were like one hundred
and sixty some odd days, one hundred and sixty four
days into his presidency. At this point, three hundred and
(09:18):
sixteen lawsuits that have been filed against the Trump administration,
or in other words, we get about two of those
a day, and only twelve of them have been closed.
So that is how absurd all this stuff is. On
its face, three hundred and sixteen lawsuits, only twelve have
been closed. As you have all these left wing groups,
the leftist activists and robes that pretend that they they
(09:43):
could be the president. I'm Boseberg, I'm as powerful as Trump.
But it was always an insane argument. And nevertheless, the
leftist activists in robes with tds had partially or fully
blocked ninety eight of President Trump's executive actions. By the way,
(10:04):
another seventy five cases were pending at the time that
the Supreme Court made the ruling last Friday. Or in
other words, you had more cases out outstanding than even
Trump orders that hadn't been challenged lately. How many of
those unconstitutional nationwide injunctions were issued? Forty forty of them
had been issued. And here's the next piece of this, right, So,
(10:28):
the tyranny of the district court judges, the play that
was left open by the Supreme Court's ruling. There are
a couple of them, but the class action lawsuit. And
so we've already seen this yesterday. It was illustrated by
Obama appointed District Court judge Randolph Moss. The role that
President Trump's order preventing attempted assylum seeking at the border.
(10:50):
The people who go, hey, essay, this where I say
A sided them, And now the border patrol agents go, Jack,
you're sol you get your take your butt back to Tijuana.
We'll see and I don't know, we have like seven
years on a slum hearings right now, so it doesn't work.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Out quite the same way.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Anyway, that's why even attempts are down by ninety three
percent over a year ago. But anyway, so you have
the judge that's trying to bring back the magic award
people to where all you have to do, no matter
where you're from, is get to the southern border and
say that you're a word and do you get to
(11:30):
come in. You get to stay here until you get
a hearing, and then you never even show up for
that hearing and you just disappear and you magically end
up with the help of you know, local groups, get
on government assistance programs. Maybe we'll even get you a
Social Security number along the way too. I have been
done for over two million people that lack legal status
under the Bid administration. But anyway, so, yeah, the new
(11:54):
legal tactic is in play. It was first used yesterday.
We're we have to wait and see this. By the way,
that as they're attempting a class action lawsuit this way,
that judge's ruling has been stayed for fourteen days. The
Trump administration is appealing, so that is going to be
the next thing to watch here. But yeah, the battle
never ends. When you take a look though at the
(12:17):
most impressive aspect of what's coming together with President Trump's
agenda here, as you have all the victories, the foreign
victories on the battlefield, and also in diplomacy, you have
his economic victories that we've already seen. You have the
immigration agenda that has already been acted upon, and now
(12:42):
you have the BBB coming together. Is that by Independence Day,
the whole agenda is coming together. As we watch the vote,
We're going to have the latest on the House vote
here coming up. We may have a final rolling in
the next segment. Brian mud In for Claim Buck Peek
(13:02):
out with the guys on the Sunday Hang with Clay
and Buck podcast, a new episode every Sunday. Find it
on the iHeart app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
As blown Up to Kingdom.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Come, yeah, pretty much the last agenda is being blown
up the Kingdom in addition to Iron's nuclear program. Prime
mud In for Klaient Buck and we have a couple
of drama queens. The vote is almost completed for the
one big, potentially esthetically pleasing Act two sixteen to two fourteen.
(13:39):
You have two Republican holdouts right now, not sure who
they are. The votes that are You have two Republicans
if you have one, so a couple things can happen here.
They could either just vote present and not vote and
we're good and it's done, or one of them could
vote for it, or both, or it would.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Take both of them voting no.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
At this point point the two Republicans who have not
yet made their vote known, both of them would have
to vote against this in order to be a tie
not pass. So we are standing by for a couple
of drama queens to see what exactly the play is
going to be. Here will bring you the very latest
(14:20):
as it comes down. By the way, we've had all
the breaking news we've been covering with the One Big
Beautiful Bill Act throughout the course of the show today.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
And I want.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
To get to your calls as well, reach out eight
hundred to two to eight eight two and see about
getting it. I want to get your thoughts on what
you're doing with your family for the fourth of July. Also,
how late it is too late to be doing fireworks
in my neighborhood. It's a party like the whole week,
So like last night, there are people like, yeah, we're
(14:52):
are past midnight last night. How late it is too
late for fireworks. I'd like to get your thoughts on
that one as well. And also alligators. We'll talk about
alligator at Alcatraz and President Trump's guidance on how to
get away from them. We'll do that, have a little
fun before we we wrap up the show today. But yeah,
(15:12):
as we are standing by for the One Big Beautiful
Bill Act final results here. The bottom line is that
what we're looking at right now is unprecedented success. Like
our country is on the brink of unprecedented success. You
take a look what's going on. We've got a relative
(15:33):
peace in the Middle East, Hell forever a week, Israel
Iran real time. You've got the ceasefire deal. It's being
negotiated with Israel and Hamas. All it took was Trump's willingness.
You know, drop some Mopis. It reminds me a lot
like his first term. What do you say he was
going to do with Isis? Remember all the way back,
Ices had established the Califate. You know, Obama said, rise
(15:55):
up to the Muslim brotherhood. They did, and so then
you you have Isis comes out of it. They have
their calvate Trump campaign twenty sixteen. Yeah, I'm going to
bond the blank at isis what happened isis came into
power and he bonded the blank out of them and.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Then things got real peaceful. Things got real peaceful after that.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
So what happens forty one years of hearing about Iron's
nuclear facilities and mops fourteen of them, and yeah, things
get a lot more peaceful, a lot more po and
maybe even with hamas But anyway, so you take a
look at all that success, the Native semi we were
talking about, the trade deals and everything else.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
It is really setting the stage.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Gonner of the days are boots on the ground forever,
wars us pain for everybody else. It's a focus on
us in our success, and so much of that Trump's
agenda is going to be focused within the One Big
Beautiful Bill Act.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Including the thousands of dollars that it saves you. It's
an exciting time. Brian Mudd in for Claim, Bucks.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Klee, Travis, and Buck Sexton on the front lines of
truth play.
Speaker 5 (16:59):
Fucking is rob from West Palmon. You don't have to
actually run along a far distance to get away from
a gator. They only have short distance running ability. If
that's even at the.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Yeah, So any talk back submitted by the way, Clay
and Buck inside the iHeartRadio app, tap the microphone you
can leave a message there.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
I do want to get to the Gator thing. We
have much bigger news.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
The Act formerly known as the BBB is a done deal.
It has passed. You did end up having the House
of Representatives pass President Trump's agenda. The big beautiful bill
will be in President Trump's hands for an Independence Day signing.
And you talk about an entire plan coming together. It's
(17:45):
not just history that we have seen, by the way,
Brian Mudd in for Clay and Buck, and it's not
just history that has been happening here. It's history by
the day. You know, in a lot of ways. You
take a look, and the Democrats did what you might
say were was some incalculable damage during Biden's time. There's
(18:06):
no doubt the inflation damage real, and there's no one
doing that.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
There's no doubt.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Now, letting you know what, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen million
illegal immigrants into this country, there's incalculable damage associated with that.
I mean, stuff is real. But from a policy standpoint,
letting President Trump get four years under him to sit
there and take a take a second to figure out, Okay,
(18:36):
I need the right people in the right places. These
are the right people, these are the places that need
to be in to work on his policy agenda, which,
by the way, I mean one of the things that
was pretty remarkable. And I'm in the vicinity of a
President Trump broadcasting here in West Palm, just a few
miles from where el President lives when he's not at
(18:59):
six teen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue. But also, you know, we
live just south of my wife and I do just
south of the President, and.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
You would see for all those years he's out.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Of office, the constant flow of significant people and most
recently preceding his presidency, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and heading
into this term, the single most important person to Trump
from a policy perspective was House Speaker Mike Johnson. You know,
you take a look at all the House rebels and
(19:32):
everything else, and you know the trouble they try to
cause and the multiple efforts to throw Mike Johnson overboard.
The single biggest reason, independent of your personal thoughts about him,
it was really important to have Mike Johnson as the
House Speaker. Is President Trump literally have been working on
his agenda with him, was ready to hit the ground
(19:55):
running with it. And so you take a look at
where we are today, where literally every single aspect of
President Trump's agenda, from foreign policy to domestic policy done
when he puts his signature on that bill tomorrow, we
(20:17):
have never seen anything like this. He has worked at
a historic pace. But it's one thing you had to
work at a historic pace not get anywhere. But it's
another thing when you see President Trump work at the
historic pace he's worked at and accomplish every single thing
he set out to do, and with next to no margin,
with only a few votes he can lose in the Senate,
(20:37):
only a few votes that he can lose in the House.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
I mean, just it is truly the most remarkable.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Thing that I have seen politically since Reagan carried forty
nine state to in eighty four, which, by the way,
it's still one of those things just you know, I
tend to be, you know, kind of like Cleaen Black,
I like may history. I'm a want for sure when
it comes to, you know, certain things. It still bugs
me that Reagan was it within one point in Minnesota
(21:05):
of a clean sweep. I mean, just incredible. But anyway,
I mean, this is the most impressive thing that we've
seen since since eighty four, and one of the most
impressive things we've seen in American history. The success that
Donald Trump has has had, and what it does do
is it sets us up, without a doubt, for unprecedented success.
(21:29):
I was talking about, Gone are the days, you know,
we used to get in all these thinking forever Wars
and everything we used to pay for everybody's military get
ripped off that way. Hundreds of billions of dollars a year,
we used to get ripped off on trade. Trump was
absolutely right about that.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Now we are.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Taking in hundreds of billions of dollars a year, and
the trade deals are just getting started. We're already on
pace to do that. You know, the Forever Wars, it's
just it's bombing the blank out of Ice. It's it's
dropping fourteen mops on Iran's nuclear facilities and done.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
You know, you think back.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
At how close we really were to President Trump having
done it all, to making America really great again, like
as great as it's ever been, you know, perhaps historically,
but certainly in our lifetimes. And then you take a look.
You know, you're just before the China virus. Remember when
we had record low and appointment rates. Remember when we
(22:29):
had a four percent growth economy, a one percent inflation rate,
the best wage growth since the nineties, the lowest crime
rates in decades, and basically an end that had been
put to illegal immigration, along with relative peace instability around
the world. I mean, it's easy to forget that's where
we were, you know, heading into twenty twenty, right before
(22:50):
the China virus and all the nonsense that went along
with it. I mean, we're that's where We're back there,
We're getting back there. I mean, the first months of
the Trump presidency all about just cleaning up the absolute
disaster that Biden left this country and a lot of
respects the world in and there's still a lot of
(23:11):
that nonsense that has to be cleaned up. So he
cleaned but then to move forward the pace he has
with his agenda. As again, the if You're just joining us,
the Big Beautiful Bill Act has passed the House. It's
a done deal on its way to President Trump. He'll
be able to sign it for an Independence Day celebration,
(23:33):
I'm sure, unlike any other for him. So we also
get ready for the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of
the country coming up next year that he's going to
do a year's long celebration with. So it's all going
to be a festive day tomorrow for for sure. But
it just is a remarkable thing we're seeing, and it's
(23:54):
a great time to be an American, and a lot
of people are making a lot out of the gallop
poll and the pride to be an American area. It
is one of the best times, if not the best
time in American history to be an American.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
A lot of fun with that I mentioned.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Speaking of fun, I wanted to I want to talk
a little bit about the alligator thing and an alligator
Alcatraz and kind of what Trump had to say about alligators.
Also on fireworks and how late is too late to
to do fireworks throughout the course of the Fourth of
(24:34):
July festivities, it's house speaker Mike Johnson speaking the celebration
underway Capitol Hill.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
At the BBB. Let's go to John's.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Go to John in California. John, Welcome to the show.
How late, How late is too late for fireworks?
Speaker 6 (24:52):
Eleven o'clock and the reason why we have a big
field to where everybody parks and it takes lead two
hours to get out of the field because dead batteries. I'm
in nice guys. I've got a big truck, so I'll
pull people out of the mud, you know, so at
least two hours.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
So yeah, well you are a nice guy, do you?
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (25:14):
What is your tradition? What do you do for the fourth.
Speaker 6 (25:18):
Barbecue? I'm retired Navy and appreciate your service. Every Where
I live, everybody's either active duty or retired. So we
do the barbecue thing.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
What's your go to?
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Steak?
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Okay, all right, so you go, you go all in,
all right.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
And I had to catch on fire one time and
I just poured my beer on it and put it out.
And it turns out now everybody wants beer on their state.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
So you started a thing.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
So now you you got to get the the beer
stake thing going for everybody and got to pull people
out of the mud. Yeah, yep, Well enjoy it tomorrow
on both accounts. Appreciate appreciate you listening to call John.
And let's say we've had Tom, who's basically been hanging
on in Ohio. Tom, welcome to the show. I know
you have some thoughts about taxes, too.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
We're spending a lot of time talking about taxes, and
it's time to eliminate the IRS and abolish the IRS
and peel the sixteenth Amendment. That's the fair tax, and
that way we don't punish achievement, we don't punish success.
We also have a lot more taxpayers. That's how you
guys done in Florida. For your no income tax, right,
(26:33):
you have a lot of sales tax payment.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
I well, yeah, we do.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
But actually, if you take a look at the relative
taxation that stays at the bottom end too. I think
we're like number two or three in total taxation even
we factored in and that's what a lot of people
taking advantage of property taxes, a lot of the liberal
governments in South Florida.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
But Tom no, I appreciate the call.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
And look, one of the things that's going to be
interesting here because you know, in principle, I'm all the
way with you on the abolishing the irs. Of course
Trump has talked about potentially abolishing the IRS. Conceptually, I'm
there in the fair tax too. You know, I'm all
about a consumption tax. If we actually got to that place.
One of the things that we're now going to be
in a position to do right. So it's the how
(27:16):
do you turn you know, the ship around the big
massive bloated government because you know, the one of the
things about the BBB, you could say it also is
maybe the big bloated bill too. Right there, there is
a lot of garbage in there, and there's a lot
of garbage in there because it's hard to get all
these people pulling in the same direction. And so here
(27:37):
we sit. You know, for me, the thing that bugs
me the most about this bill, which by the way,
this needed to happen getting to this point. Get you
have to trust Trump, you know what, if nothing else.
For the people that are debt and deficit people, I
get it. I'm a fiscal conservative. I worry about debts
and deficits too. I am annoyed to no end that
(28:01):
we are still going to be pain to have illegal
immigrants unmedicaid. But at the same time, if Trump is
working aggressively to put an end to the illegal immigrant situation, well,
you know, if they're in a detention facility for example,
and you know, waiting deportation and probably not going to
(28:23):
be using medicaid so much anymore. Right, so you you
kind of work at it from that place. And that's
kind of where I'm going with your your tax situation.
So now that we are here, you get the Trump
agenda done, so he has the resources he needs to
finish the wall. Trump has the resources he needs for
mass deportation, in the entire immigration plan. Everything that he
(28:48):
has yet been able to put into motion, he is
going to be able to do going forward. So now
you start taking a look at, Okay, what can we
make better? What can we make better? And maybe this
is where we come back around because you're gonna obviously
they're going to work on additional legislations, not like they're
just going to pack it in on Capitol Hill until
you know, there's new Congress in there, right, So what
(29:09):
are we going to do now? Well, what you do
now is you you take a look at, Okay.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Well, now maybe we maybe we can't abolish the irs.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
You know, one of the things I still think there
is a fifty to fifty chance the one day you
may see Elon must break out that Trump was right
about everything. Hat I know, he's in a very unhappy place,
you know, and most recently promised that every single you
know could conservative, every person who ran on you know, like, uh,
you know, Dad step is a lower you know, smaller government,
(29:40):
that kind of thing, that he's going to primary them all.
And it's and he mentioned if it's the last thing
on his earth, on this earth that he does, it
would be to make sure that they are defeated in
the primary. Okay, So Elon's in that place right now.
I still think it's fifty to fifty. The some time
before this minut ttration is done, Elon breaks out the
(30:02):
Trump was right about everything hat because he has an
uncanny ability. Trump does not just to bounce back, but
he always wins bigger than where he was. It's his
personal life too, And if you take a look at
Trump's personal life actually mirrors his political career on top
of the world, gets knocked down, goes through all kinds
(30:25):
of crap, and then comes back and wins even bigger
than before. True in an election sense, true in the
agenda as well. And so now you get to sit
there and focus on these things. So this is where
you know, you can go back to your members of Congress,
go let's start working on some of this stuff. What
about the IRA Department of Educate for me? And this
(30:46):
is a tough put because you know, the financial side
is the way I'm wired. Department of Education or IRS,
I mean, get rid of them both. But if we
could get rid of one man, the Department of ED.
So I want a lot of focus on moving in
that direction. Obviously, Linda mcmann's job was to put herself
out of one and so there are a lot of
things legislatively you can focus on now. So this isn't
(31:08):
the end. This is just the beginning, and it's a
great time in American history. Brian mudd In for Claim
Buck Stay on top of election use with twenty four
from Clay and Buck, a weekly podcast you can find
on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcast.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Daddy, You're My Daddy.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Yeah, that was an instant classic and a guilty pleasure
of mine. Now, of course that's Trump from the NATO SUMAN.
You can also say that about a lot of politicians.
Brian mudd In for Clay and Buck. As the BBB
is a done deal on its way to President Trump's desk,
great day in American history. Trump's agenda, signed, sealed and
(31:53):
delivered by Congress. As you have House leadership speaking right now,
is they have a few things to say after you
had Hakeem Jeffries do his his Spartacus impersonation's trying to
channel his inner Corey Booker and instead of a Magic
Men record, too proud of him.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Yeah, so Trump he got.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
What he wanted, all of what he wanted here before
Independence Day. It's an incredible thing.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
But yeah, that of course, uh daddy or my daddy.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
That's from the NATO's summit last week, and a lot
of fun to be had there.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
I think there are a lot of people, a lot
of people he.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Owns, including uh, you know, maybe h Thomas Massy's we're
hearing from Congressman Jimmy Patronis earlier in the show about
maybe a little inside of how things actually went down yesterday,
where you had Massey apparently pleading to to Trump.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
Just don't beat me up anymore, mister Trump, mister prison please.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
So a couple of things as we're in a salvatory
mood heading into the Independence Day weekend.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
I'd the gator thing. Remember how Trump.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
He ended up saying, hey, snack snakes are fast, but alligators,
you know, and he was doing this zigzag thing. Not
a good idea, not a good. Did you know while
alligators can swim it up to twenty miles an hour,
they actually top out of eleven and that is below
the average sprint speed of a human, So you actually
probably better running in a straight line. Just a little.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
Addition there for you. By the way, the reputation of gators.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
A lot worse, although if you're an alligator Alcatraz and
you've got to navigate miles of gators, crocs, and steaks,
now huh. But anyway, have a wonderful independency we can
enjoy the heck out of its President Trump well on
his way to making America great again again, Congress getting
(33:51):
the job done in the eleventh hour, so it is
wonderful time to celebrate.
We took the fem of money that Joe Biden allocated
to pay for the free luxury hotel rooms where it's
being hundreds of millions of dollars in New York City,
and we used it to build this project.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Yeah that the president's talking about Alligator Alcatraz. So the
way that deal had works is that under the Biden administration,
you would have an illegal immigrants, I'm sorry, an asylum
seeker that would sidle up to a border patrol agent
(00:36):
across the southern border and would go e sa this
where I say, assiled them. And you would have a
beaten down border patrol agent that would take a look
at the individual and go, yeah, you said the magic
a word, because they became magic award people. You know,
(00:58):
you just you say asylum and and that's you. You're good,
and like hand a brochure over to said asylum seeker.
They're like, all right, choose, choose your accommodations in the
United States, only the best for you, the asylum seeker,
at the expense of the American people. And you would
(01:19):
have the the illegal immigrants, I'm sorry, the asylum seeker going.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
About the five Star in Manhattan.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
And so that five Star in Manhattan just became a
ticket to Alligator Alcatraz. And that's what Trump is talking about.
The money the Biden administration have been allocating so we
could do things like, you know, pay five hundred dollars
a night to house illegal immigrants in Manhattan. Now it's
(01:49):
been reallocated in eight days to put together the country's
largest detainment detainment in a deportation facility. And so we'll
talk a little bit before the end of the show
about Alligator Alcatraz.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Brian Mudd in for Claim Buck and we.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Really are getting ready for the vote on the One
Big Beautiful Bill Act, the President's Agenda. House Speaker Mike
Johnson just wrapped it up. The vote is being called in,
so it does look like before the end of the
show we might have that vote for you. In the
breaking news about the BBB being on the way to
(02:23):
President Trump's desk in time to sign for Independence Day,
and that'll be no doubt, another monumental victory. By the way,
I am talking to you from my home station w
JNO in West Palm Beach.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
It is honor and a pleasure to be here with you.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Catch me socially at Brian Mudd Radio and you can
always catch the Brian Mud Show podcast wherever you get
your podcasts. So as we take a look out the
votes they are rolling in quickly, we might now looks
like we're going to have a vote in here pretty quickly,
unless you do end up getting a couple of drama queens.
(03:03):
We shall see. I think everybody's coind tired from sitting
there all night. But as we take a look towards
this monumental victory for President Trump having his agenda delivered
to him, you think about just the past couple of weeks.
And it started the show by talking about where we
are today compared to a year ago. I mean, just incredible,
(03:26):
how different there have been so many monumental victories for
President Trump. When you hear Trump himself talking up a
monumental victory, you might be left wondering which one is
he talking about. Maybe he's talking about ending Iron's nuclear
program in the related war. Maybe he's talking about getting
NATO country in NATO, as Biden would have said, NATO
(03:49):
countries to pay their fair share for military defense under
the Alliance. By the way, I did a whole analysis
on this deal. How much do you think that actually
is going to save us once NATO because again it's
just all numbers. It's kind of like the tax policy here.
You just hear some numbers thrown out there and it's like,
(04:10):
I don't know what that really means to me. Well,
this means thousands to you and your family. What's getting
ready to be voted on right now. But beyond that,
when you take a look at the NATO thing. Okay,
so Trump got everybody but Spain to go along with
five percent, what does that mean? So the United States
(04:32):
had been paying sixty eight point seven percent of the
defense spend of NATO, and what that tends to be
spun too, because people will say no, no, the NATO budget.
The NATO budget is different than defense spending by country.
And what had happened for well over seventy years of NATO,
(04:54):
pretty much since its founding.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Is that.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
It was abused by every single one of allies because
under NATO, if any country is attacked, it has acted
upon his votes. An attack on every one of the
NATO members. Every one of them were like, shoot, us
has it. We're not gonna worry about building up our defense.
Why would we Number one, We're probably not gonna be
(05:18):
hit because you know, nobody wants to mess with the US.
And second LA, I mean, look, they're they're gonna pay
for all the defense, and so that's how we became
everybody's defense. That's how this thing happened. NATO is the
reason that now we have been screwed playing the world's
policemen forever seventy years. When you hear Trump getting them
(05:40):
to five percent, it's not just like he picked a
number and said, yeah, do that. That is how much
to get them on a population adjusted basis to where
they'll be paying their fair share of it now except
for Spain. Spain was the one holdout, and Trump was like, yeah,
that's gonna work for them. When it comes to Spain's
(06:01):
trade deal, We're going to charge them twice as much
as everybody else. So that part won't work out for
spending the end either, maybe they'll say, oh, uncle, five percent.
So that means four hundred and forty billion dollars annually.
To give you an idea, sixty eight point seven percent
(06:22):
of the spend on defense in the NATO Alliance. The
US population is thirty five percent of NATO. When you
take a look at how much money it is to
us an annualized basis, we would be able to scale
back our military spend the point where they have ramped
up by four hundred and forty billion dollars a year. Again,
(06:44):
as we take a look at the dead and deficit
and all these things with the BBB and nothing with
any of the CBO projections or anybody else's projections. Factor
in money from tariffs, where we're now getting hundreds of
billions of dollars a year in tariff money coming in.
None of it factors and the increased growth, but it
also does in factor in, Hey, you know what, going forward,
(07:04):
we're not gonna need to spend as much money on
defense to be the world's placement, and that can be
hundreds of billions of dollars a year. So these are
all things that in time can be handled because Trump
is fixing all the other things that we've been screwed
on around the world. And so anyway, I digress, as
we're going through Trump's monumental victories, that that's something that
(07:26):
is really important that's been really overlooked. Just beyond hey,
Trump got what he wanted with NATO. You could be
talking about the the Chinese, the UK, the Vietnam trade
deals coming together. I talked about how significant all that
stuff was. Earlier could be talking about the S and
P five hundred NASEC reaching recognized. Now maybe Trump's monumental
(07:46):
victory just the economy generally, I mean, we are doing
the best. You know, mentioned the first hour of the
show when you on an inflation just basis, you take
a look at wages, you take a look at inflation.
We are doing the best on average that we've done
since he was last president, since before the China virus.
But of course the Act formally named the Big Beautiful
(08:09):
Bill is without a doubt, a monumental win that he
looks to sign tomorrow on Independence Day as plan. Well,
when President Trump actually was talking about monumental wins, all
of those things that have happened incredibly just over the
past two weeks, it was when he was talking.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
About the United States Supreme Court.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Because the other big wins of course at the Supreme
Court recently, and as Trump said last Friday, the Supreme
Court delivered a monumental victory for the Constitution, the separation
of powers, and the rule of law. And they did
this is importance We've already seen some of the legal shenanigans.
This came into play yesterday, that's starting to come out
of this. But just got to break this down for
you a little bit. So with that Supreme Court ruling
(08:55):
last week smacking down district court judges who thought they
were as powerful as the president of the United United States,
the anti American post constitutional district court judges today, you
know how many lawsuits there have been that have been
filed against the Trump administration. There were like one hundred
and sixty some odd days, one hundred and sixty four
days into his presidency. At this point, three hundred and
(09:18):
sixteen lawsuits that have been filed against the Trump administration,
or in other words, we get about two of those
a day, and only twelve of them have been closed.
So that is how absurd all this stuff is. On
its face, three hundred and sixteen lawsuits, only twelve have
been closed. As you have all these left wing groups,
the leftist activists and robes that pretend that they they
(09:43):
could be the president. I'm Boseberg, I'm as powerful as Trump.
But it was always an insane argument. And nevertheless, the
leftist activists in robes with tds had partially or fully
blocked ninety eight of President Trump's executive actions. By the way,
(10:04):
another seventy five cases were pending at the time that
the Supreme Court made the ruling last Friday. Or in
other words, you had more cases out outstanding than even
Trump orders that hadn't been challenged lately. How many of
those unconstitutional nationwide injunctions were issued? Forty forty of them
had been issued. And here's the next piece of this, right, So,
(10:28):
the tyranny of the district court judges, the play that
was left open by the Supreme Court's ruling. There are
a couple of them, but the class action lawsuit. And
so we've already seen this yesterday. It was illustrated by
Obama appointed District Court judge Randolph Moss. The role that
President Trump's order preventing attempted assylum seeking at the border.
(10:50):
The people who go, hey, essay, this where I say
A sided them, And now the border patrol agents go, Jack,
you're sol you get your take your butt back to Tijuana.
We'll see and I don't know, we have like seven
years on a slum hearings right now, so it doesn't work.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Out quite the same way.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Anyway, that's why even attempts are down by ninety three
percent over a year ago. But anyway, so you have
the judge that's trying to bring back the magic award
people to where all you have to do, no matter
where you're from, is get to the southern border and
say that you're a word and do you get to
(11:30):
come in. You get to stay here until you get
a hearing, and then you never even show up for
that hearing and you just disappear and you magically end
up with the help of you know, local groups, get
on government assistance programs. Maybe we'll even get you a
Social Security number along the way too. I have been
done for over two million people that lack legal status
under the Bid administration. But anyway, so, yeah, the new
(11:54):
legal tactic is in play. It was first used yesterday.
We're we have to wait and see this. By the way,
that as they're attempting a class action lawsuit this way,
that judge's ruling has been stayed for fourteen days. The
Trump administration is appealing, so that is going to be
the next thing to watch here. But yeah, the battle
never ends. When you take a look though at the
(12:17):
most impressive aspect of what's coming together with President Trump's
agenda here, as you have all the victories, the foreign
victories on the battlefield, and also in diplomacy, you have
his economic victories that we've already seen. You have the
immigration agenda that has already been acted upon, and now
(12:42):
you have the BBB coming together. Is that by Independence Day,
the whole agenda is coming together. As we watch the vote,
We're going to have the latest on the House vote
here coming up. We may have a final rolling in
the next segment. Brian mud In for Claim Buck Peek
(13:02):
out with the guys on the Sunday Hang with Clay
and Buck podcast, a new episode every Sunday. Find it
on the iHeart app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
As blown Up to Kingdom.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Come, yeah, pretty much the last agenda is being blown
up the Kingdom in addition to Iron's nuclear program. Prime
mud In for Klaient Buck and we have a couple
of drama queens. The vote is almost completed for the
one big, potentially esthetically pleasing Act two sixteen to two fourteen.
(13:39):
You have two Republican holdouts right now, not sure who
they are. The votes that are You have two Republicans
if you have one, so a couple things can happen here.
They could either just vote present and not vote and
we're good and it's done, or one of them could
vote for it, or both, or it would.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Take both of them voting no.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
At this point point the two Republicans who have not
yet made their vote known, both of them would have
to vote against this in order to be a tie
not pass. So we are standing by for a couple
of drama queens to see what exactly the play is
going to be. Here will bring you the very latest
(14:20):
as it comes down. By the way, we've had all
the breaking news we've been covering with the One Big
Beautiful Bill Act throughout the course of the show today.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
And I want.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
To get to your calls as well, reach out eight
hundred to two to eight eight two and see about
getting it. I want to get your thoughts on what
you're doing with your family for the fourth of July. Also,
how late it is too late to be doing fireworks
in my neighborhood. It's a party like the whole week,
So like last night, there are people like, yeah, we're
(14:52):
are past midnight last night. How late it is too
late for fireworks. I'd like to get your thoughts on
that one as well. And also alligators. We'll talk about
alligator at Alcatraz and President Trump's guidance on how to
get away from them. We'll do that, have a little
fun before we we wrap up the show today. But yeah,
(15:12):
as we are standing by for the One Big Beautiful
Bill Act final results here. The bottom line is that
what we're looking at right now is unprecedented success. Like
our country is on the brink of unprecedented success. You
take a look what's going on. We've got a relative
(15:33):
peace in the Middle East, Hell forever a week, Israel
Iran real time. You've got the ceasefire deal. It's being
negotiated with Israel and Hamas. All it took was Trump's willingness.
You know, drop some Mopis. It reminds me a lot
like his first term. What do you say he was
going to do with Isis? Remember all the way back,
Ices had established the Califate. You know, Obama said, rise
(15:55):
up to the Muslim brotherhood. They did, and so then
you you have Isis comes out of it. They have
their calvate Trump campaign twenty sixteen. Yeah, I'm going to
bond the blank at isis what happened isis came into
power and he bonded the blank out of them and.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Then things got real peaceful. Things got real peaceful after that.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
So what happens forty one years of hearing about Iron's
nuclear facilities and mops fourteen of them, and yeah, things
get a lot more peaceful, a lot more po and
maybe even with hamas But anyway, so you take a
look at all that success, the Native semi we were
talking about, the trade deals and everything else.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
It is really setting the stage.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Gonner of the days are boots on the ground forever,
wars us pain for everybody else. It's a focus on
us in our success, and so much of that Trump's
agenda is going to be focused within the One Big
Beautiful Bill Act.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Including the thousands of dollars that it saves you. It's
an exciting time. Brian Mudd in for Claim, Bucks.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Klee, Travis, and Buck Sexton on the front lines of
truth play.
Speaker 5 (16:59):
Fucking is rob from West Palmon. You don't have to
actually run along a far distance to get away from
a gator. They only have short distance running ability. If
that's even at the.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Yeah, So any talk back submitted by the way, Clay
and Buck inside the iHeartRadio app, tap the microphone you
can leave a message there.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
I do want to get to the Gator thing. We
have much bigger news.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
The Act formerly known as the BBB is a done deal.
It has passed. You did end up having the House
of Representatives pass President Trump's agenda. The big beautiful bill
will be in President Trump's hands for an Independence Day signing.
And you talk about an entire plan coming together. It's
(17:45):
not just history that we have seen, by the way,
Brian Mudd in for Clay and Buck, and it's not
just history that has been happening here. It's history by
the day. You know, in a lot of ways. You
take a look, and the Democrats did what you might
say were was some incalculable damage during Biden's time. There's
(18:06):
no doubt the inflation damage real, and there's no one
doing that.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
There's no doubt.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Now, letting you know what, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen million
illegal immigrants into this country, there's incalculable damage associated with that.
I mean, stuff is real. But from a policy standpoint,
letting President Trump get four years under him to sit
there and take a take a second to figure out, Okay,
(18:36):
I need the right people in the right places. These
are the right people, these are the places that need
to be in to work on his policy agenda, which,
by the way, I mean one of the things that
was pretty remarkable. And I'm in the vicinity of a
President Trump broadcasting here in West Palm, just a few
miles from where el President lives when he's not at
(18:59):
six teen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue. But also, you know, we
live just south of my wife and I do just
south of the President, and.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
You would see for all those years he's out.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Of office, the constant flow of significant people and most
recently preceding his presidency, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and heading
into this term, the single most important person to Trump
from a policy perspective was House Speaker Mike Johnson. You know,
you take a look at all the House rebels and
(19:32):
everything else, and you know the trouble they try to
cause and the multiple efforts to throw Mike Johnson overboard.
The single biggest reason, independent of your personal thoughts about him,
it was really important to have Mike Johnson as the
House Speaker. Is President Trump literally have been working on
his agenda with him, was ready to hit the ground
(19:55):
running with it. And so you take a look at
where we are today, where literally every single aspect of
President Trump's agenda, from foreign policy to domestic policy done
when he puts his signature on that bill tomorrow, we
(20:17):
have never seen anything like this. He has worked at
a historic pace. But it's one thing you had to
work at a historic pace not get anywhere. But it's
another thing when you see President Trump work at the
historic pace he's worked at and accomplish every single thing
he set out to do, and with next to no margin,
with only a few votes he can lose in the Senate,
(20:37):
only a few votes that he can lose in the House.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
I mean, just it is truly the most remarkable.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Thing that I have seen politically since Reagan carried forty
nine state to in eighty four, which, by the way,
it's still one of those things just you know, I
tend to be, you know, kind of like Cleaen Black,
I like may history. I'm a want for sure when
it comes to, you know, certain things. It still bugs
me that Reagan was it within one point in Minnesota
(21:05):
of a clean sweep. I mean, just incredible. But anyway,
I mean, this is the most impressive thing that we've
seen since since eighty four, and one of the most
impressive things we've seen in American history. The success that
Donald Trump has has had, and what it does do
is it sets us up, without a doubt, for unprecedented success.
(21:29):
I was talking about, Gone are the days, you know,
we used to get in all these thinking forever Wars
and everything we used to pay for everybody's military get
ripped off that way. Hundreds of billions of dollars a year,
we used to get ripped off on trade. Trump was
absolutely right about that.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Now we are.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Taking in hundreds of billions of dollars a year, and
the trade deals are just getting started. We're already on
pace to do that. You know, the Forever Wars, it's
just it's bombing the blank out of Ice. It's it's
dropping fourteen mops on Iran's nuclear facilities and done.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
You know, you think back.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
At how close we really were to President Trump having
done it all, to making America really great again, like
as great as it's ever been, you know, perhaps historically,
but certainly in our lifetimes. And then you take a look.
You know, you're just before the China virus. Remember when
we had record low and appointment rates. Remember when we
(22:29):
had a four percent growth economy, a one percent inflation rate,
the best wage growth since the nineties, the lowest crime
rates in decades, and basically an end that had been
put to illegal immigration, along with relative peace instability around
the world. I mean, it's easy to forget that's where
we were, you know, heading into twenty twenty, right before
(22:50):
the China virus and all the nonsense that went along
with it. I mean, we're that's where We're back there,
We're getting back there. I mean, the first months of
the Trump presidency all about just cleaning up the absolute
disaster that Biden left this country and a lot of
respects the world in and there's still a lot of
(23:11):
that nonsense that has to be cleaned up. So he
cleaned but then to move forward the pace he has
with his agenda. As again, the if You're just joining us,
the Big Beautiful Bill Act has passed the House. It's
a done deal on its way to President Trump. He'll
be able to sign it for an Independence Day celebration,
(23:33):
I'm sure, unlike any other for him. So we also
get ready for the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of
the country coming up next year that he's going to
do a year's long celebration with. So it's all going
to be a festive day tomorrow for for sure. But
it just is a remarkable thing we're seeing, and it's
(23:54):
a great time to be an American, and a lot
of people are making a lot out of the gallop
poll and the pride to be an American area. It
is one of the best times, if not the best
time in American history to be an American.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
A lot of fun with that I mentioned.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Speaking of fun, I wanted to I want to talk
a little bit about the alligator thing and an alligator
Alcatraz and kind of what Trump had to say about alligators.
Also on fireworks and how late is too late to
to do fireworks throughout the course of the Fourth of
(24:34):
July festivities, it's house speaker Mike Johnson speaking the celebration
underway Capitol Hill.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
At the BBB. Let's go to John's.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Go to John in California. John, Welcome to the show.
How late, How late is too late for fireworks?
Speaker 6 (24:52):
Eleven o'clock and the reason why we have a big
field to where everybody parks and it takes lead two
hours to get out of the field because dead batteries. I'm
in nice guys. I've got a big truck, so I'll
pull people out of the mud, you know, so at
least two hours.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
So yeah, well you are a nice guy, do you?
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (25:14):
What is your tradition? What do you do for the fourth.
Speaker 6 (25:18):
Barbecue? I'm retired Navy and appreciate your service. Every Where
I live, everybody's either active duty or retired. So we
do the barbecue thing.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
What's your go to?
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Steak?
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Okay, all right, so you go, you go all in,
all right.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
And I had to catch on fire one time and
I just poured my beer on it and put it out.
And it turns out now everybody wants beer on their state.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
So you started a thing.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
So now you you got to get the the beer
stake thing going for everybody and got to pull people
out of the mud. Yeah, yep, Well enjoy it tomorrow
on both accounts. Appreciate appreciate you listening to call John.
And let's say we've had Tom, who's basically been hanging
on in Ohio. Tom, welcome to the show. I know
you have some thoughts about taxes, too.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
We're spending a lot of time talking about taxes, and
it's time to eliminate the IRS and abolish the IRS
and peel the sixteenth Amendment. That's the fair tax, and
that way we don't punish achievement, we don't punish success.
We also have a lot more taxpayers. That's how you
guys done in Florida. For your no income tax, right,
(26:33):
you have a lot of sales tax payment.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
I well, yeah, we do.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
But actually, if you take a look at the relative
taxation that stays at the bottom end too. I think
we're like number two or three in total taxation even
we factored in and that's what a lot of people
taking advantage of property taxes, a lot of the liberal
governments in South Florida.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
But Tom no, I appreciate the call.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
And look, one of the things that's going to be
interesting here because you know, in principle, I'm all the
way with you on the abolishing the irs. Of course
Trump has talked about potentially abolishing the IRS. Conceptually, I'm
there in the fair tax too. You know, I'm all
about a consumption tax. If we actually got to that place.
One of the things that we're now going to be
in a position to do right. So it's the how
(27:16):
do you turn you know, the ship around the big
massive bloated government because you know, the one of the
things about the BBB, you could say it also is
maybe the big bloated bill too. Right there, there is
a lot of garbage in there, and there's a lot
of garbage in there because it's hard to get all
these people pulling in the same direction. And so here
(27:37):
we sit. You know, for me, the thing that bugs
me the most about this bill, which by the way,
this needed to happen getting to this point. Get you
have to trust Trump, you know what, if nothing else.
For the people that are debt and deficit people, I
get it. I'm a fiscal conservative. I worry about debts
and deficits too. I am annoyed to no end that
(28:01):
we are still going to be pain to have illegal
immigrants unmedicaid. But at the same time, if Trump is
working aggressively to put an end to the illegal immigrant situation, well,
you know, if they're in a detention facility for example,
and you know, waiting deportation and probably not going to
(28:23):
be using medicaid so much anymore. Right, so you you
kind of work at it from that place. And that's
kind of where I'm going with your your tax situation.
So now that we are here, you get the Trump
agenda done, so he has the resources he needs to
finish the wall. Trump has the resources he needs for
mass deportation, in the entire immigration plan. Everything that he
(28:48):
has yet been able to put into motion, he is
going to be able to do going forward. So now
you start taking a look at, Okay, what can we
make better? What can we make better? And maybe this
is where we come back around because you're gonna obviously
they're going to work on additional legislations, not like they're
just going to pack it in on Capitol Hill until
you know, there's new Congress in there, right, So what
(29:09):
are we going to do now? Well, what you do
now is you you take a look at, Okay.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Well, now maybe we maybe we can't abolish the irs.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
You know, one of the things I still think there
is a fifty to fifty chance the one day you
may see Elon must break out that Trump was right
about everything. Hat I know, he's in a very unhappy place,
you know, and most recently promised that every single you
know could conservative, every person who ran on you know, like, uh,
you know, Dad step is a lower you know, smaller government,
(29:40):
that kind of thing, that he's going to primary them all.
And it's and he mentioned if it's the last thing
on his earth, on this earth that he does, it
would be to make sure that they are defeated in
the primary. Okay, So Elon's in that place right now.
I still think it's fifty to fifty. The some time
before this minut ttration is done, Elon breaks out the
(30:02):
Trump was right about everything hat because he has an
uncanny ability. Trump does not just to bounce back, but
he always wins bigger than where he was. It's his
personal life too, And if you take a look at
Trump's personal life actually mirrors his political career on top
of the world, gets knocked down, goes through all kinds
(30:25):
of crap, and then comes back and wins even bigger
than before. True in an election sense, true in the
agenda as well. And so now you get to sit
there and focus on these things. So this is where
you know, you can go back to your members of Congress,
go let's start working on some of this stuff. What
about the IRA Department of Educate for me? And this
(30:46):
is a tough put because you know, the financial side
is the way I'm wired. Department of Education or IRS,
I mean, get rid of them both. But if we
could get rid of one man, the Department of ED.
So I want a lot of focus on moving in
that direction. Obviously, Linda mcmann's job was to put herself
out of one and so there are a lot of
things legislatively you can focus on now. So this isn't
(31:08):
the end. This is just the beginning, and it's a
great time in American history. Brian mudd In for Claim

Speaker 3 (31:26):
Daddy, You're My Daddy.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Yeah, that was an instant classic and a guilty pleasure
of mine. Now, of course that's Trump from the NATO SUMAN.
You can also say that about a lot of politicians.
Brian mudd In for Clay and Buck. As the BBB
is a done deal on its way to President Trump's desk,
great day in American history. Trump's agenda, signed, sealed and
(31:53):
delivered by Congress. As you have House leadership speaking right now,
is they have a few things to say after you
had Hakeem Jeffries do his his Spartacus impersonation's trying to
channel his inner Corey Booker and instead of a Magic
Men record, too proud of him.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Yeah, so Trump he got.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
What he wanted, all of what he wanted here before
Independence Day. It's an incredible thing.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
But yeah, that of course, uh daddy or my daddy.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
That's from the NATO's summit last week, and a lot
of fun to be had there.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
I think there are a lot of people, a lot
of people he.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Owns, including uh, you know, maybe h Thomas Massy's we're
hearing from Congressman Jimmy Patronis earlier in the show about
maybe a little inside of how things actually went down yesterday,
where you had Massey apparently pleading to to Trump.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
Just don't beat me up anymore, mister Trump, mister prison please.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
So a couple of things as we're in a salvatory
mood heading into the Independence Day weekend.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
I'd the gator thing. Remember how Trump.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
He ended up saying, hey, snack snakes are fast, but alligators,
you know, and he was doing this zigzag thing. Not
a good idea, not a good. Did you know while
alligators can swim it up to twenty miles an hour,
they actually top out of eleven and that is below
the average sprint speed of a human, So you actually
probably better running in a straight line. Just a little.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
Addition there for you. By the way, the reputation of gators.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
A lot worse, although if you're an alligator Alcatraz and
you've got to navigate miles of gators, crocs, and steaks,
now huh. But anyway, have a wonderful independency we can
enjoy the heck out of its President Trump well on
his way to making America great again again, Congress getting
(33:51):
the job done in the eleventh hour, so it is
wonderful time to celebrate.
