Speaker 2 (00:14):
Welcome to the Brian Mudshow.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
It's the info you need to start your day in
the Bomb Beaches and the Treasure Coast. Answer Tracking Trump
and taking a look at the President's executive actions. And
on Friday and US Steel, the President had this announcement.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
We are going to be imposing a twenty five percent increase.
We're going to bring it from twenty five percent to
fifty percent the tariffs on steal into the United States
of America, which will even further secure the steel industry
in the United States.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
And there's a really interesting dynamic with the way that
he has gone about doing what he said he was
going to do.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
There.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
That is an entire change in tactics that I hinted
maybe forthcoming, so about that momentarily just kind of set
things up here in terms of outright executive orders. As
of today, President Trump had signed one hundred and fifty
seven of them, compared to two hundred and twenty signed
during his entire four years. The first go round and
one hundred and sixty two signed by President Biden in
(01:20):
his autopen or auto pins the uh Susan Jill. Maybe
maybe a lot of people got in on it. Maybe
a lot of people are autopen president.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
For a day. Maybe hunter, my gosh, that'd explained. Somethingss
been floated. It's been floated out there by some.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Well, he did leave trace evidence of being in those
parts Sidney porn trace actually, so here is the change
in tactics. Trump hasn't signed any new executive orders over
the past week, but he did sign two executive directives.
He amended an existing order through a acclamation and also
(02:01):
issued a new presidential Memoranda Memoranda entitled Sequestration Order for
the Fiscal Year twenty twenty six, pursuing to the Balance
Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Nobody is talking about this.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Very few probably have even figured out that this directive
has taken place, but it could be a really big deal.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
It reads like this.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
The order states that on October one, twenty twenty five,
direct spending budgetary resources for fiscal year twenty twenty six
and each non exempt budget account be reduced by the
amount calculated by the Office of Management and Budget and
its report to Congress May thirty, twenty twenty five. Okay,
sounds wonky as heck, right, but here's the deal. October
(02:49):
first is to start to the new budget year. That's
also presumably when the final version of the one Big
Beautiful Bill or the one Big Abomination as Elon is
putting at these days, whatever it is, will kick in.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Now.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
The order directs spending cuts at that point in every
non exempt category of the federal government. And to give
you an idea, the exempt federal government categories are Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare,
veterans programs, low income government assistance programs, federal retirement benefits,
unemployment benefits, agricultural programs, the Post Office, Federal Court System,
(03:28):
and FEMA. Okay, so everything that is not one of
those has a mandatory directive starting October first for cuts.
What it almost says is the same way that you
had Trump inherit the Biden budget here, and they've been
dozing things.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Out of it to cut cost.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
It sounds like, no matter what gets past, he's going
to do that starting with the new In other words, hey, Congress,
pass what you need to to do. What you think
you need to do politically, and then we'll cut on
the back end over here. That is the implication here.
So will it happen, I don't know, but it's encouraging.
(04:06):
It's encouraging, and again I nobody's really noticed this or
is talking about it. The other thing is the Amended
Order on Aluminum steal tariffs. He issued this through a
presidential proclamation raising the aluminum steel imports to fifty percent,
which he said he would, but he did so using
the Trade Act of nineteen seventy four as opposed to
(04:27):
using an emergency declaration that he did for his Liberation
Day tariffs. That, of course were held up temporarily by
the International Trade Court last week before and Appeals Court
put the back on and they're under legalist scrutiny this week.
So it is a change in tactics for the president
using other methods to try to achieve his agenda.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Interesting and stuff worth following. We'll do that for you.
