Speaker 3 (00:22):
Starting your morning off right, A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Because we're in this stupid This.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
Is your morning show with Michael.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
O'deil Charner on the air, streaming live on your iHeartRadio
app across the nation and around the world.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
This is your morning show.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
I'm Michael del Journal, honored to serve you, Jeffrey serving
all of us with sound, red keep and eye of
the content. Our senior contributor, Davidsonati will join us momentarily.
I'm gonna do something I don't normally do, repeat something
within a half hour, but I enjoyed this so much.
It was you know, we don't sing hymns in this
modern worship form of a church we have now, but

(01:05):
one of my favorites. It always brings me to my knees.
It is well with my soul. This audio clip is
so well with my soul. My soul needs this, all right.
So we all just had this Dave pulled off on
us for four years. It is the greatest fraud in
the history of American politics.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
And then somebody that played such a key role in
it and.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Crucifying anyone that would suggest, hey, this guy doesn't look well,
Hey this guy can't think, this guy can't talk.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Who's the president?

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Now comes out with a book along with an Axios writer.
I mean, come on, they were complicit in the cover up,
and now they're wanting to be the hero. Having said
all that, if Jake Tapper ever called me and said, hey,
I'm thinking about trying to sell my book by going
on Megan Kelly's podcast, because you know, obviously we didn't

(01:55):
have any influence over the election, but podcast did, I
would say, like, your pants are on fire. This is
one of the most skilled attorneys, vicious poised hosts, no longer.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Tathered by a network. She's going to destroy you.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Uninterrupted, not taking my advice. Here's Jake Tapper on Megan
Kelly's podcast, this is the worst deposition gone wrong you've
ever heard in your life.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
Right here in my ecosphere. We were covering all of these.
It wasn't just falling down, it was getting lost. It
was some of the stuff you report in your book
we knew and we were reporting on, like the multi
jump cuts in the videos of him, or was obvious
he couldn't get through a one minute take. It was
clear to us that he was using teleprompter, and there

(02:51):
was some reporting on that at the time, all of
which the White House was denying. Now, the current White House,
I have some connections with the Joe Biden white House.

Speaker 5 (02:58):
I had none, but she did. There was an attempted
cover up.

Speaker 4 (03:02):
It could only ever work if you allowed it, if
the press allowed it.

Speaker 5 (03:06):
Some of us drive not to and some of us
were complicit.

Speaker 6 (03:09):
The Biden white House did not like me. Okay, this
is I do not have great connections with the Biden
White House.

Speaker 5 (03:17):
Well, clearly a source. You said you talked to over
two hundred sources for.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
This book.

Speaker 5 (03:22):
And worked.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
No, that's the point is that they were not being honest.

Speaker 5 (03:27):
That's how the Street Journal get it.

Speaker 4 (03:29):
In June of twenty twenty four, and Jake Tapper and
CNN couldn't find sources for this story.

Speaker 5 (03:33):
Then before he dropped out.

Speaker 6 (03:35):
Annie Lynsky and Shavon Hughes did an amazing job in
their reporting and they should be heralded, and I heralded them.
I had them on my show right after the debate
to talk about the great reporting to the debate.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
But you did not put them on when they published
that story, which was before the debate.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Correct.

Speaker 6 (03:54):
I don't know what the booking situation was, but it
wasn't because I didn't want them. I'm sure I will say,
let's book. I'm sure let's book. Did they You?

Speaker 4 (04:02):
You put on a Democrat and you allow the Democrat
to rip on the report as a Ruper Murdoch sponsored
hit piece.

Speaker 6 (04:10):
It's just that we're gonna do, if we're going to
if we're going to do this, let's just stick to
the facts here, Okay.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
When there is a dance, That's what I've been doing
all along. One of us didn't miss the biggest story
of the century when it comes to presidential politics, and
one of us did.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
One of us didn't miss the biggest story in presidential
politics in history, and one of us did. Jake get
out of there like your pets are on fire. Our
senior contributor, David Soonaudi's joining us. All right, So the
movie Dave kind of like COVID is the movie contagion,
you know. I mean there's been a lot of movies

(04:51):
come to light.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
They pull off Dave for four years, and now they
want to and they are complicit in the cover up.
Now they all want to be the heroes and sell
books and telling us what they aided. But here's the thing,
It's like the Wizard of Oz when the curtains pulled,
Why do you keep pulling the knobs? We all saw this.
They didn't get away with anything. But what do you
make of all this chaos? And then I want to
get to how do we ever regain this trust? I

(05:14):
don't know how media ever recovers from this. All the
right questions. Michael, thank you, And I'm to tell you
the truth.

Speaker 7 (05:23):
It's difficult to answer that question because I'm trying to
recollect when we have seen this measure of blatant deception.
I have to laugh because there's two things that are
going on right now. The leadership of the Democrat Party
is talking, well, here comes the conspiracies.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
To have a conspiracy, you actually have to be trying
to hide.

Speaker 7 (05:47):
Something, right, they're not even Yeah, and then let's just
look forward.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
We're looking forward.

Speaker 7 (05:54):
Excuse me, we haven't even come out of the shadow
of what you just did.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
These folks begin and they're still talking.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
About January sixth, which preseason.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
The line began with COVID. Yes, well, Watergate, Well, of course,
pos Look, I don't.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Think I don't think the presidency ever recovered from Watergate,
and though he got away with it, the Bill Clinton scandal,
I just don't know.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
You fake a presidency now, I don't know what to
make of it. That one.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
I don't know that I'll ever trust a doctor again,
let alone the CDC.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
I mean, I don't there's a lot of mistrust, but
in the I mean, in the in the current perspective
that we're we're at. Yeah, No, it starts with COVID.
You're right, I shouldn't have been rich Nixon.

Speaker 7 (06:39):
That Nixon did get caught, okay, and there was consequence,
and there was consequences, all right, and so so that
that was a terrible and a personalized situation. Now you
come to an orchestrated strategy across an entire political party,
assisted by the towers of power, the big media corporations

(07:00):
who all are complicit completely in this, and it's not coincidental,
and it's.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
Three main ones that pretty much controlled ninety percent of
all media works, works for CNN, Taper.

Speaker 7 (07:09):
So we've got a situation where they began the lies
in COVID. They carried the lies through the alterations that
they made in the twenty twenty election, which were barely legal,
and had they been prosecuted, it might have been a
very interesting outcome. However, the Supreme Court decided to not
take that on. All right, that's fine, they got away
with it. That part we can look forward on we've

(07:29):
learned from. But the reality is now they lie about
someone that they're running for the presidency while he's standing
in those beat beat carport rallies, that he's doing what
we basically got as a situation where a guy that's
got terminal cancer and is mentally has lost his acuity
being completely covered up with COVID.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
As the part of the cover up.

Speaker 7 (07:51):
Now he's in the White House and they tell us
that now this man hasn't had a PSA test for
fourteen years as president.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
By the way any man over forty, not even but
over forty that's impossible. Since I was a kid, I
begin They don't have to do.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
It manually anymore. They can do it through blood.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
But I mean the notion that anybody, let alone a
vice president for two years, after that a president for
four years in his annual physical I don't have words
for this.

Speaker 7 (08:25):
The question we've got to ask ourselves is this pattern
is so blatant. Oh and by the way, let's just
remember when they finally did realize they had been caught
in the act because they didn't remove him from office,
or they didn't remove him from the nomination. Then they
just arbitrarily set up a process to just take him
out behind the woodshed and leave him there and bring

(08:46):
in Kamala Harris. And they've asked us to believe in
all of those things, that they're honest, they're transparent, and
that they're worthy of trust and leadership.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
At this stage in the.

Speaker 7 (08:55):
Game, the only answer is, if you're a Democrat, don't
be okay.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
The only way out of this is they.

Speaker 7 (09:03):
Have to start a new political party because there is
no credibility left and there is no defense.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
They've just lied.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
Yeah, David S and iis our senior contributories, also the
CEO of the Public American Policy Roundtable and host of
the Public Square or our twur inter stations. If I
were to just restate this only, it'd probably aggrevate the audience.
That's how long I've been saying it. Repetition is supposed
to be the mother of all learning. But that's how
obvious it's been all along. Donald Trump comes along and

(09:33):
he does something worse than promises to make America great.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
He gets elected and makes America great.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
And the two biggest losers, And when you're looking from motive,
that's where you start. Was a Democrat party and their
ability to maintain power and the Chinese government. What do
you get in COVID a Chinese along with a deep
state involvement with Fauci gain, a function research a really

(10:00):
East virus that spreads to America because they controlled it
within China, but they were reckless and letting it spread.
It brings the economy to a halt, destroys his presidency
all through the COVID manipulation and light which carries over
in to the Biden presidency when they cut the deal.

(10:20):
In other words, We've been saying this for how many
years now? Yeah, that's the point that Jake Tapper is
just not getting around to write a book. Was that
obvious to everybody? And the point I want to make
is you say it starts with COVID. Yeah, because COVID
and Biden are all part of the same shadow campaign
to save the democracy of.

Speaker 7 (10:39):
Course, and so this is the place that we're at.
And there's a group of people now that have been
honest enough to say power over principle at all points
in time, because all that matters is the power.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
If that's the.

Speaker 7 (10:51):
Way we want to run the country, then we can
go back to COVID and know what it's like to
be shut down and have the government tracking your every
move because they say so. Just the kind of group
of people that we're dealing with. It's Michael, this is amazing.
There has never been an uncovering like this.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
So, yeah, because this is worse than Watergate. Oh, this
is far worse. This is a fake presidency, all right.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
A fake election to face a fake presidency. It continues.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
There's never been a scandal in American politics like this,
all right. So let's take Watergate for example. Watergate goes away.
When Tricky Dick waves and gets on the helicopter. That's
that's the justice. And then slowly, certainly not through Ford,
but eventually through Reagan, we restore the presidency.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
How do they do it now?

Speaker 7 (11:41):
Richard Nixon lost the presidency because of a bungled, stupid burglary.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
They he didn't order it, he covered it up. He
lost it over a covered up tape. Can you believe
the magnetude of that?

Speaker 7 (11:54):
Versus a pandemic a presidency, a cancer diagnosis never reported,
complete mental deficiency, covered up, a switch, a bait and
switch on candidates, and a false election. Are you kidding me?
This is out of control? Where do they go from here?
You stop, You're done. There is no person running for

(12:15):
national office that carries the name Democrat that should be
elected again.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
I told you this one.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
Both parties that have gone by the end of the decade,
maybe one's already gone. And they're certainly in the middle
of a war too.

Speaker 7 (12:26):
Michael, I'm telling you right now, if the Republicans did
the same thing, I would be saying the exacting and
oh and by the.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
Way, I left them for not living what they believe alone.

Speaker 7 (12:36):
If you would what they did to Donald Trump. All right,
forget what they did to Donald Trump and all of
the abuse of the justice system against Donald Trump. Forget
all that. This isn't even about Trump. This is about
the Democrats period.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
Having said that, suspicious, ridiculous, obvious or not, it's not
about Joe his fake presidency or his cancer. It's about
finishing the one who's really moving forward, Donald Trump. The
big beautiful Deal. What has to be in there? And
what do you make of separating out no tax on tips?
Because I thought without that, now, well, it's going to

(13:17):
leave Democrats in the difficult position.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
You got to work against seniors.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
You've already alienated the working class and lost them the
blackmail vote, and lost them the Hispanic vote over the
border and lost them. Now you could alienate yourself with
seniors if you don't move forward with no tax on
social Security. But what do you make of them taking
out no tax on tips and sending that to the house.
Separate and then what has to be in this big
beautiful deal for it to be big and beautiful?

Speaker 7 (13:43):
Well, the problem is it's not going to get read
before it's big and beautiful and voted on. It's a
massive operation that they've put together, and they have to
because of the fake game that the Republicans and the
Democrats are both playing in Congress.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
And that's what the word majority means anything. It doesn't
mean anything.

Speaker 7 (14:00):
When you have three votes in the majority of the House,
you don't have a majority, right And unless you have
sixty votes in the sentence, you don't have a majority. Therefore,
we can't go about this the way you would go
through a normal process. They've got to go through reconciliation,
which means it's got to be this massive, big budget.
It's got to be all a bill, it's got to
be connected to the budget. It's going to be very
difficult to read.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
And know for sure.

Speaker 7 (14:20):
So I'm hesitant to make any definitive statement because we're
not going to know unfortunately, like Nancy Pelosi says, until
they pass it.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
It's your Morning Show with Michael Bilchoano.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
This is your morning show.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
I'm Michael davidsonantis here, our senior contributor. You know, I'm
just sitting here reflecting on they made this whole case
for January sixth being a threat to democracy. What do
they call this fraudulent Budjet presidency? They pulled up. But
enough about that, all right, So let's do the summary.
However they get there, and however big it is. What
has to be in this big, beautiful deal for it

(14:54):
to be beautiful.

Speaker 7 (14:55):
The text sets we have now have to remain. And
I know that doesn't seem like enough because there's a
window of our oportunity to do more.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
But the message is simply this.

Speaker 7 (15:02):
If Americans who want to not be triple text on
their Social Security revenue that they put in for their
whole lives, they're going to have to elect more people
to the House and the Senate that are willing to
stand against triple taxation on Social Security.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
It's just that simple.

Speaker 7 (15:17):
I hope tips don't go the same way, but if
if that ends up happening, it happens, and then we're
going to have to need another Congress and another president
to come back and get it done.

Speaker 6 (15:27):
This is Josh and Montgomery, Alabama.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
My morning show is Your Morning Show with Michael Dell.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
Jorna, Hey, it's Michael. Your Morning Show can be heard
live each weekday morning on great stations like thirteen sixty,
The Patriot in San Diego, News Talk one oh six
point three, and Am eighteen eighty wm Q oh Claire,
Wisconsin at one O four nine The Patriot and Saint Louis,

(15:53):
Missouri would love to be a part of your morning routine.
But so glad you're here now enjoy the podcast. I'm
Michael del Jorna. Well, the President wants a Golden Dome
defense system.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
More on that with John Decker coming up in minutes.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
Several tornadoes were spoted Tuesday afternoon, but no damage, no
deaths in Mississippi, Tennessee and the Ohio Valleys and Yoklahoma
City thunder took game one of that Western Conference Final.
That's part of why I'm in a good mood over
the Minnesota Timberwolves Nicks Pacers.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
Game one is tonight.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
A National correspondent Roy O'Neil is here with the latest
down President. But President Trump calls his big beautiful deal
of tax cuts and reduced government spending, though none of
it is a reality yet though tax on tips separately
is headed to the House.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
Where do we stand with all of this?

Speaker 8 (16:39):
Rory, Yeah, let's specify, no tax on tips to the House.
It got through the Senate unanimously, so that's a good sign.
But the House Speaker said a short time ago. He's
hoping for a full House vote on the big beautiful
bill later today.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
So it's been in the House Rules Committee.

Speaker 8 (16:57):
They've been talking about it since one o'clock this morning,
and they're trying to hammer out some sort of a deal.
One of the big sticking points is this state and
local tax deduction, bringing it back for places residents of
places like California and New York so that they can
deduct the state and local taxes they pay. Some argue that, hey,
why are we subsidizing New York government? Bad policy there?

(17:20):
Or California, Illinois or Illinois, pick your democratic state. And
then they turn around and say, hey, look we're donor states.
You know, we pay more taxes than we get back,
so you should be grateful that we pay so much
more in taxes. So that's the philosophical debate happening, all right.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
So what about the multiple taxation on Social Security and
getting relieved for those on a fixed income in our seniors.

Speaker 8 (17:45):
That's been a single piece of legislation floating around there
on its own. That's also getting a lot of attention
right now. Again, it would end taxing social Security or
considering your Social Security income as income for your annual
tax purposes. I don't think anyone's going to stand up
to that or to try to oppose it, that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
No one wants to be a no vote on that.

Speaker 8 (18:07):
But as these deficit hawks are out there, it's difficult
to run the numbers right now. As it stands, the
Big Beautiful Bill is going to add up to five
trillion dollars in new debt over the next decade. And
that's why a lot of the people who are still
stuck on this bill, Republicans, say it's not cutting spending
enough and not addressing those foundational issues.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
And they're both a reality, right. I mean the Big
Beautiful debt. I mean people need tax breaks. They want
to get the economy moving, as Kennedy taught, not in
a time of deficit like a debt like we're in now.
The more money that is taken out of taxation, the
more that's put into the economy. Is people spend money
and keep more of their money. Businesses grow, they hire more,

(18:51):
more taxpayers. Burden less is the proper way to fund
government and grow the economy, which I agree with. But
we are thirty six trillion dollars in debt and looking
like being four preaty one a decade from now for
doing this, So both are very relevant. What has me curious, Rory,
is if you separate out no tax on tips, because

(19:12):
let's face it, that's how Donald Trump won Nevada. Who
wants to stand against you know, the working class, and
then you if you strip out the no tax on
Social Security, I don't know if the rest of the
bill has much. I mean, that's the two that are
hard to vote against. I would try to keep them
all together rather than let them separate out.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
Nobody seems to be commenting on that.

Speaker 8 (19:34):
Well, what the Senate passed last night unanimously was the
no tax on tips, and again that's a separate piece
of standalone legislation.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
I don't you know, don't forget.

Speaker 8 (19:43):
The big beautiful bill has more money for the border,
It has Pentagon spending over a trillion dollars for the
first time. It has money for this Golden Dome that
you are going to talk in more detail about. So
there there are a lot of the president's priorities in
this overall plan as well, not just sort of the
ones that are very popular.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
Right, great reporting all day, Right, we'll talk again tomorrow.
God bless you.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
Forty minutes after the hour, these are your top five
stories of the day.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
Well, a spokesperson for former.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
President Biden is saying the last known prostate cancer screening
happened over a decade ago. It happens every annual physical
for me, but Mark Mayfield fills us him.

Speaker 9 (20:27):
The spokesperson said the last screening for Biden prior to
Friday came in twenty fourteen, and that he had never
been diagnosed with the disease. Biden was diagnosed with an
aggressive stage four prostate cancer over the weekend that has
spread to the bone.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
I'm Mark Neefield.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
President Trump wants the US to have a Golden Dome
defense system, and he wants it up and running by
the time he leaves office.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
Brian shook us all morning Long reports.

Speaker 10 (20:50):
He outlined his plans for the missile defense system in
an announcement from the Oval Office, alongside Defense Secretary Pete Haig.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
Saith once fully constructed the Golden Dome. We'll we'll be.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
Capable of intercepting missiles even if they are launched from
other sides of the world, and even if they are.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
Launched from space.

Speaker 10 (21:08):
The Golden Dome is the president's vision for a cutting
edge missile shield that can protect the US from long
range strikes. Trump said the final price tag for the
system will be around one hundred seventy five billion dollars.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
I'm Brian Schuck. Well things are going with Russia, China, Iran.
Trust me, you may want that.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
Millions of holiday travelers will be enjoying cheaper gas this
Memorial Day weekend.

Speaker 11 (21:32):
Gas Betty says the national average price for a gallon
of gas will be about three dollars and eight cents,
which would be the cheapest Memorial Day gas price since
twenty twenty one. The gas price website says, adjusted for inflation,
it could be the lowest Memorial Day gas price since
two thousand and three. Triple A says over thirty nine
million people will travel by car over the holiday weekend.

(21:52):
That's up three percent from last year. I'm Tammy Triheo.

First place in season twenty seven went to Adam David,

(22:56):
represented by Boublaye. Boublay's second victory in a row. For me,
I didn't know the Voice was still on. But you're
gonna add Pearl Jam singer Eddy Vedder to your list
of who I can't stomach anymore. He is defending Bruce

(23:17):
Springsteen's recent comments about President Trump. Pearl Jam performed in
Pittsburgh over the weekend and covered a Springsteen's song in
their set. Before the song, Vetter called Springsteen a true
American and accused Trump of personal attacks and threats. So
Bruce Springsteen goes to Europe out of nowhere in a concert,

(23:40):
apologizes for America, says the Trump administration is corrupt, incompetent,
in treasonous, and all Trump said was he's a dried
out old brune of a rocker. And this is on Trump.
I thought it was fat, drunk and stupid was no
way to go through life. Then drunk and stupid not

(24:02):
so good either. Well I don't we got tax on,
no tax on tips headed to the house. That's good,
especially today it's waitstaff day pre Tennis with moron taking
care of the person or people who are taking care
of you.

Speaker 13 (24:19):
The Bureau of Labor Statistics says they're about two and
a half million waitstaff working in the US and it
takes skill to be good at it. Waite staff knows
the ever changing specials. They take your order and they
bring you stuff. They know timing to get to you
when your mouth isn't full of food, anticipate needs and
do it with a smile, all for the payoff at
the end. The tip today show a little extra love

(24:41):
in that department. I'm pre Tennis.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
Jeep skates like me. Of course, we'll stay home today
and have a little Bba Jay alone Dot Kat.

Speaker 3 (24:51):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chruno.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
If you're just waking up.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
President, of course, was lobbing for the big beautiful bill yesterday.
Today he will down with the President of South Africa.
As for that big beautiful deal, I want to just
give you the numbers from the Nonpartisan Committee for a
Responsible Federal Budget. They are currently estimating that the bill
would add three point three You heard Rory make a
reference to five trillion dollars. There's a reason, and I'm

(25:18):
going to explain the bill would definitely add three point
three trillion to the deficit for.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
Those of you. And that's a part of this coalition.

Speaker 5 (25:26):
Right.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
Remember we always talk about what is MAGA, what is
Trump is'. Well, it's kind of like Reagan Revolution, tea
Party and MAGA have all made this new Republican Party.
So there's going to be some people in there that
are still focused on this debt that eventually is going
to burst. So even adding three trillion, remember, if I

(25:51):
were president, and I love my current president, so don't
even bother attacking me over that. My big beautiful deal
would be to store a zero base prioritize balance budget.
Then this thing's on autopilot, no continuing resolutions. You have
to have a balanced budget. The budget is tied to
the two year terms of the legislature. Taxation go to

(26:12):
a flat and fair tax system, term limits in place.
These people can't simply be this corrupt, be getting this
rich and this powerful and stay till toe tags. Frankly,
I'm radical. I would return the choosing of US senators
to states as well, and I'd probably even consider dividing
up the debt among taxpayers. But you know, it's three

(26:35):
point three trillion added to the debt over a decade,
five point two trillion if the policy in the bills
are made permanent.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
That's a lot.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
And many of the bills costs are set to expire
in twenty twenty eight, while the savings don't kick in
untill after twenty twenty eight. So the next presidency, if
the handoff is to JD and Marco, would inherit this
deficit and debt. So that's all out there, and it's
just under the surface. And that's why it's not as
simple as you think to get this passed. President also

(27:09):
has a new vision, and it's an elaborate defense plan.
I think you know, it's obvious to me. John Decker
is joining us, our White House correspondent, John. It's always
been obvious to me that I think he loves George Washington.
But President Trump in his lifetime has admired two Democrats,
one who became a Republican, one who was assassinated before

(27:30):
he probably would have become a Republican. And that is
Kennedy and Trump. And so here comes this. We got
to protect ourselves from what could be coming from space,
the old Reagan Star Wars plan, all in an elaborate
golden dome like Israel has. Give us the four to
one one and what the President's vision is and what
it would cost.

Speaker 14 (27:50):
Yeah, absolutely, So what Israel has is called the Iron Dome,
and it's proven to be extremely successful in terms of
preventing major destruction in the state of Israel by many
of us of its adversaries. We've seen that, we've seen
the Iron Dome work with attacks from Ama to a
tax from Iran. Well, what the Golden Dome would do,

(28:12):
It's essentially another anti missile shield. It would combine existing
ground based missile interceptors with ambitious proposals involving satellites. It's
super technology, and it's very costly. The President asking for
twenty five billion dollars as a down payment on this system.
The Congressional Budget Office says it would cost as much

(28:34):
as eight hundred and thirty one billion dollars over two decades.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
That's billion dollars.

Speaker 14 (28:41):
And then the President says it would cost about one
hundred and seventy five billion, and he would like to
finish this project before the end of his term. Whether
you believe the President's number or the CBOs number, it
is a very cross project.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
Yeah, how different is this from Reagan's vision?

Speaker 2 (29:00):
And how much cheaper will that if we done Star Wars?

Speaker 14 (29:04):
Yeah, we're dating ourselves when we talk about right, I
know Star Wars vision. But that being said, technology is
advanced that a lot of this technology actually exists. Back
when Reagan proposed it, it was essentially pie in the sky.
Now we see that the iron Dome system does work,
but what it works as it relates to Israel are

(29:26):
lower level, lower technology weapons aimed at the state of Israel,
and here we're talking about low flying ballistic missiles, hypersonic
glide weapons, and of course drones.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
We've seen those drone attacks on Israel. That's what this
system would protect against.

Speaker 14 (29:42):
The President also indicating that conversations are now including Canada
as it relates to including Canada as part of the
territory that the Golden Dome would protect.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
You know, being a student of John F. Kennedy, this
is at the very on set of space being in play,
and he always talked about just like land, just like water,
Just like air, you have to have air supremacy, water supremacy,
land supremacy, and military and now here comes space and
the space has to be a controlled by those the

(30:18):
good guys, and you have to have supremacy. I don't
know how much, you know, we have invested in actual
defense systems, not nearly as much as offensive systems. And
you know, when you ignore something for this long, the
expense of getting up speed is high. Busy day for
the President.

Speaker 14 (30:38):
Just a reminder, just a reminder that we do have
a defensive system in place, you know, but that's protecting
the US from intercontinental ballistic missiles. So we do have
you know, a very impressive defensive system that's in place.
We have those systems in place in Alaska and also
in California and other parts of the country.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
But this, this is different.

Speaker 14 (31:00):
This is any type of attack launched against the United
States of America.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
Yeah, and things aren't going so great with either Russia,
China or Ron.

Speaker 2 (31:09):
You're going to need this or North Korea or North Korea.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
Right, what do you make of the president, you know,
trying to give a little push to the big beautiful
bill on the Hill and how that was received.

Speaker 14 (31:21):
Well as things stand today, you know that there are
deficit hawks that are not on board. There are some
moderate Republicans from blue states like New York that are
not on board. But I think I will tell you, Michael,
at the end of the day, I think it's passing
out of the House of Representatives because the President's really
going to twist some arms. And what he said behind

(31:43):
closed doors, you don't back this bill, you could potentially
or likely face a primary challenge, and that is something
that scares the the Jesus out of a lot of
members as well well.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
John, I don't want to build on the stereotype that
I think is unfortunate but you could.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
Say the President made him an offer they couldn't refuse.

Speaker 14 (32:03):
Right, But they would tell him I was just.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
Gonna say, they would tell him reasons.

Speaker 14 (32:09):
Why sometimes sees his power in the same way, Uh,
that the Godfather wielded his power. And so look this
is playing out in real life. Life's imitating art. Great reporting,
John Decker. We'll talk again tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (32:24):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
