Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, thank you Scott Shannon, and thanks to all
of you for being with us. Right down are toll
free number, it's eight hundred and nine to four one, Shawn.
If you want to be a part of the program,
We've got Congressman Jim Jordan today will join us on
the one Big Beautiful Bill, and President Trump on Capitol
Hill today meeting with Republicans and trying to get this
(00:22):
over the finish line. Also James Blair, the White House
Deputy Chief of Staff for Legislative, Political and Public Affairs.
He's spearheading the effort for the White House and for
the President. This is very, very critical. And when I
first went to the went to Congress at the start
(00:44):
of this term, and I had the town hall with
the House members and Speaker Johnson, and I had a
similar town hall with senators. The first thing I say
to them is everyone knows here that you're not going
to get everything that you want, especially because of the
arcane process that is known as reconciliation in the US Senate.
(01:04):
Long story short, I've explained it before. I won't go
into specificity in detail, but it is a procedure by
which you can bypass the normal process of cloture and
the need for sixty votes to pass a bill in
the US Senate if it has to deal with financial
issues and get by with the simple majority, which is
(01:27):
the only way this is going to happen. I mean,
it is kind of spectacular that there are Democrats that
won't vote, that would vote for the largest tax increase
in American history and not make the Trump tax cuts permanent.
You know, it's a little mind numbing that the Party
of Compassion would not vote for no tax on tips
(01:47):
for service workers, that they would vote against tax, they
would vote to tax Social Security, that they want to
tax people's overtime. I mean things, Donald Trump's looking out
for hard working men and women, and those are the
people that really make America great. We certainly know the
Democratic Party puts the rights of illegal immigrants over the
(02:08):
safety of American citizens. We've seen that with the Prago
Garcia and the likes of Senator Van Holland by the way,
who got schooled by Mark or Rubio will play that
later in the program today. And we know that they
had a chance in the US Senate to champion women's
sports and women's rights, but no, they chose to champion
(02:30):
the right of men to play women's sports. And they're
the party that's claiming what a constitutional crisis to eliminate
hundreds of billions of dollars in waste, fraud, abuse, and corruption.
And they are the party that won't stand for mothers
that lost their children at a joint session speech. And
they won't stand for young men to be cancer. And
they won't stand for the wife of a slain officer
(02:51):
hero or a young man who lost his father who
gets a commission to West Point. I mean, this is
how radical that they are. Likely voters from both sides
of the isles say AOC. I've been telling you this
for a long time. I was saying when Nancy Pelosi
was Speaker that he's only speaker in name only, that
(03:12):
it really was AOC. But now likely voters from both
sides of the isles say that AOC is the new
face of the Democratic Party. Bernie Sanders, Grandpa Bernie, comes
in second, and Jasmine Crockett comes in third. This was
in the olympiaan a plurality of Americans consider AOC to
be the new face of the party. Anyway, the Coefficient Survey,
(03:34):
twenty six percent of respondents named aoc uh and it
went on to then give Grandpa Bernie twelve percent. Jasmin
Crockett placed third with eight percent, Kamala Harris only garnered
six percent, Pothold Pete five percent, tying Hakeem Jeffries. Then
following that was Senator Corey Booker and Gavin Newsom at
(03:57):
two percent each. Told Gavin good luck with that got
something called a track record. The first group of Biden
illegals have to self deport after accepting free transportation and
a thousand dollars cash reward from the Trump administration. The
beauty of that for them is they will have a
(04:17):
chance to come into the country again legally. If you
don't self deport, you'll never get a chance to come
into this country legally. Ever again, that window will close
and you'll never get into the country legally, period, end
of sentence. That's just the way it's going to be.
And so I give a lot. I mean, those people
were smart, in my view, they were very smart to
(04:40):
do that. I just think that they're right on target,
and I think it's good for the country that you're
giving them the opportunity to say, well.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Why are we give them the money? We're rewarding, but.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
No, it's costing us a fortune for healthcare, housing, education,
the criminal justice system. We're getting off, you know, eighty
percent discount, given him a free plane ticket in one
thousand bucks to restart their life. Lindsey Graham now has
seventy two Senators backing his bill to impose bone crushing
(05:13):
sanctions on Russia.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Will hit that later.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Senator Marshall Blackburn is sponsored a bill to end birth
tourism by foreign nationals, which is becoming a bigger and
bigger issue day by day. Got to give a tip
of the hat to Home Depot as we start the
program today. They won't hike prices on consumers to offset
President Trump's tarifs, although that is not really materialized to
(05:37):
the extent that they said. So, Chuck Schumer in a
further decline, I mean, it's kind of hard to get
further down the path than he's gone. But anyway, New
York City Mayor Eric Adams has pulled the rugout from
Chucky Schumer trying to blame the Trump administration for causing
that Mexican Navy ship to collide with the Brooklyn Bridge,
(05:59):
and Schumer suggests the Doge cuts to the US Coast
Guard played a role in the tragedy. On Saturday, I'm
fighting for answers about whether Trump and Doge have impacted
water traffic control. This is like they're trying to blame
the idiot, you know. Mayor Pothole Pete handed off to
Sean Duffy, shy, they would shy three thousand air traffic controllers.
(06:24):
And this is a guy that said to Sean Duffy,
because I talked to Sean Duffy and interviewed Sean Duffy,
that Pothole Pete said, Oh, this is a department that
runs himself, that runs itself if you don't do a
damn thing. And the equipment in these air traffic control
centers are from the fifties and sixties. You're lucky if
it's from the seventies. For crying out loud, anyway, Mayor
(06:46):
Adams undercut Schumer's bogus conspiracy theory and claim, citing the
Coastguard's full response to the ship's collision with the East
River Bridge and said that the city handles crisis well
during an appearance on Fox five Good Day New York
and anyway, so he says, I'm not clear where the
(07:06):
Senator got his information, but I know that we had
a full response on both sides of the river.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Unless the Senator knows something that I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
It turns out the boat lost power and there wasn't
a penny cut from what he's claiming. But you know,
don't expect Democrats to ever tell you the truth. There
is going to be a lot of focus on this
program today and a lot of focus, you know, for
the rest of the week. To be very honest, the
one big, beautiful bill that the President went to the
(07:37):
Capitol today to urge Republicans to stop complaining and pass
the budget bill. Look, and nobody's going to get everything
they want, but this is what we are getting. The
tax cuts will be made permanent, otherwise we get the
largest tax increase in American history. There will be no
tax on tips. You know what, When I worked in
the service industry and I was a busboy, waiter, I
(08:00):
would have loved no tax on tips. When I worked
in construction, I always worked over time. I would have
loved no tax on overtime. That's for working men and women. Democrats,
you want to vote against it, all you'll do is
confirmed to the American people what we've been saying. You
are the party of out of touch coastal elites that
(08:21):
believe in the New Green Deal, wokeism, transgenderism. You think
it's a constitutional crisis to save hundreds of billions of
dollars on these radical views spent overseas. You know, you
champion the right of men to play women's sports. Put
the rights of illegals, even illegal gang members, over the
safety of Americans. You know that's the party that you are. Anyway,
(08:44):
the President toll House Republicans that he is to drop
their push for further changes to the big beautiful bill
pass it this week. I think his message was a
lot of good, hard negotiations have been going on. One
of the outside issues happens to be salt, the state
and local tax deduction. Now, when I was in New
(09:07):
York during Trump's first term, I know I am full
time in Florida. In case you haven't heard, I try
to mention it as often as I can, the Free
State of Laria, because I'm happy to be here and
glad to be out of there. But anyway, one of
the I ended up paying more taxes, even though Donald
Trump cut taxes because He also cut the deduction for
state and local taxes. You used to be able to
(09:28):
deduct it all on your on your tax form, and
he reduced it to ten percent, and that meant I
paid more. I ended up paying more net more in taxes.
But it was the right thing to do. Otherwise, you're
rewarding states that elect big taxes spend governors and mayors
and legislators and city councils that that's all they do.
(09:51):
And the states that that elect fiscally responsible people, people
that that don't tax and spend. There's constituents don't get
this benefit. It's ridiculous. And the President was very clear,
don't mess with Medicaid. Is a little salt to your language.
(10:11):
And some conservatives are still looking for changes that would
reduce federal funding for states that expanded Medicaid under Obamacare
to be to cover able bodied adults. I think that
provision will be taken out. Actually, I do believe that
they're working on some compromise there. Somehouse Freedom CALLCUS members
(10:32):
did not relent after the meeting seeking further changes to Medicaid,
saying that the President discussed rooting out waste, fraud, and
abuse in the program. Which remains their aim. I think
they're going to win on that, so I think that's
not going to be a problem as of now. The
salt deduction, which is capped ten thousand, would go to
thirty thousand in the current rendition of the bill that
I'm seeing. You know, the President's got a lot of
(10:54):
big things on his plate here and he's got to
deal with Iran at the same time. And the President
could have been more clear on that trip to the
Middle East. Iran has a choice. They're either going to join.
They're either going to give up there in Richmond, they're
gonna stop pursuing nuclear weapons and they're gonna go along
with the deal, or that it will be done for them.
(11:17):
He could not have been more clearly have two choices.
He was very clear numerous times, and he was very
clear to these countries.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I was there.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
I heard him say it numerous times that he wants
these countries to now sign on to the Abraham Records.
I think that will happen probably after the issue of
Iran is decided. I do not believe the Iranians will
give up enrichment. I just that's my own personal opinion.
And if they don't give it up. It'll be given
(11:46):
up for them, whether they like it or not. The
President's still pushing for a deal with Russia and first
getting a cease fire, and we'll see what happens without
his trying. Everything he's trying to do is big. These
are all big things. But this bill is so critical
now I may need to deputize many of you. We
(12:06):
did this during the election, and we put up the
Kamala files and the Walls files, and we asked you,
you know, to send it to your friends and your family,
and your neighbors and your coworkers and anybody that you
knew and put it up on social media, and many
of you responded. We only had one hundred and six
days to vet Kamala Harris. It was critical that so
many of you get involved and if we are getting
(12:29):
the names of people that might be getting in the way.
Because again, this bill will help build out the next
generation of weaponry. This bill will provide for border security
and deportations. This bill will make the tax cuts permanent.
It will eliminate taxes on tips, social security, and overtime.
This bill will also begin the process of moving America
(12:52):
towards energy dominance, which will help make this country rich
on top of the ten trillion dollars in commitments and manufacture,
especially in areas that we need for national security reasons
like pharmaceuticals and semiconductors and automobiles. I mean, this will
be hopefully the Golden Age. And by the way, at
(13:12):
some point we expect the President will speak from the
White House, and when he does, he's going to speak
about the plans for the Golden Dome that m might
go down as his greatest legacy. I think strategic defense.
When you see the Iron Dome working, that's Reagan's vision
that Democrats and the legacy media mob at the time
(13:34):
were mocking Star Wars. They called it, well, a lot
of Star Wars has prevented a lot of weapons from
landing in places like Israel, and that was a great
vision to the president. But to have one around the
entire United States. I love the idea, and I think
it over time, probably when we're long gone from this
(13:54):
earth and we go home to our father, that that
will probably be as the greatest legacy the president. I'm
not sure what the rules are with this. When Kamala Harris,
you know, paid for the endorsements for Beyonce and Springsteen
and Oprah Winfrey.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
ETA.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
It's very clever how they they paid these people, because
these celebrity endorsements, first of all, they're dead, They had
no impact at all. The President thinks that it warrants
an investigation that laws may have been broken by paying
these stars Beyonce and Bruce Springsteen and Bono and Oprah anyway,
(14:40):
because the Harris campaign previously denied this, but the FBC
record show that money's went to Beyonce's production company one
hundred and sixty five grand. A million dollars went to
Oprah Winfrey's Harpro Productions. I believe her her, but she
says she didn't take a personal fee. That now there's
(15:02):
no law explicitly banning paid endorsements. Campaign payments, however, must
be properly disclosed and where they properly disclosed. And of course, uh,
you know, Bruce Springsteen was called the dry that tried
out proven. Did you see that? Chris Christy must have
had heart palpitations. He's so in love with Bruce Springsteen.
(15:23):
Bruce Springsteen hates him and wants nothing to do with him.
That I from the last I heard. But you know
one thing Not only did the state run legacy media die,
but so did celebrity endorsements died because Americans don't care
what they think. They just don't care, and uh they
and they shouldn't care. And half these people don't know
(15:44):
what the hell they're talking about anyway. And these are
the same people that and and this goes to the
heart of where we've been all week, and that is,
you know, this, this whole Joe Biden cover up lie.
And again, I feel sorry if Joe Biden has cancer,
I really do. The idea that it's prostate cancer and
it could have been detected earlier is unbelievable. But with
(16:08):
all of that said, and we offer all the prayers
in the world for him and a speedy recovery. Prostate
cancer is one of the most detectable cancers. And I
know so much about how protected presidents are in terms
(16:28):
of their health. I know a lot more than the
average Joe and things that I would not share on
radio because I don't think I should. But I'm telling
you presidents have access to the best medical care, as
they should. They're the president of the most powerful country
on earth, you know. But I will tell you nobody
(16:51):
trusts any of anything of what they say, because of
everything that we learned about, all the lies that they told.
They they they kept his cognitive decline a secret. They
all knew about it. They kept it a secret. The
media all knew about it, and they kept it a secret.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
And this is.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
They created what is a clear and present danger and
a national security risk for our country. And that's just
that's just a simple fact.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
You know.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
It's uh like the emperor has no close right. And
now we have the Robert her tape and we played
that on the program here yesterday. We played it on
TV last night, you know, her interviews Biden and concluded
that while Joe had flagrantly broken the law like comie,
you know, realized Hillery broke the law, but no reasonable
prosecutor would prosecute except if it was Donald Trump. Then
(17:50):
we're going to raid mar A Lago and and go
through Malania's personal items. And it's so sick, it's such
a flagrant double standard. And away the tape showed that
her was extremely kind. By the way, why wasn't he
sworn in even though Democrats ripped me? He didn't even
know when his own sun died, and he when he
was told his own sun die. Then he got it
(18:12):
wrong again, and that story kept changing and and you know,
and then I will say this too because and John
Stewart really kind of nailed this whole thing. And he
said about Tapper, Jake Tapper was one of the people
that was a denier of Joe's cognitive decline, and we
(18:33):
have him on tape and now he's going to make
money off this. And John Stewart said, Uh, these guys, Yeah,
maybe you should have told us what was in the
book a year ago?
Speaker 2 (18:43):
How about four years ago?
Speaker 3 (18:45):
How weird it is that the News is selling you
a book about news they should have told you was
news a year ago for free.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
It's it's just fun to watch them not only continue
to push the book in light of this difficult news,
but to actually frame this difficult news as perhaps even
more of a reason to buy this book.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Some observers will say that the reporting in the book
is even more important now.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
Yet nobody's saying that. No observers will say it's more
important now. Some observers might think, do these CNN people
work on commission?
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Like are they hawking this thing?
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Is this a girl scout cookie situation, who ever sells
the most tap of books gets a shwin.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
And that is very funny. That is very funny.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
But I mean how the CNN journalists covered up the
Biden cover up before writing a book about it. I mean,
it's it's just so the media is so corrupt and
then this this whole dubious claim and why so long,
and you know, it's it's just the big lie. And
they knew about all of this the whole time. They
(20:04):
knew about it. When I first reported on it, we
told the truth as usual. They lied as usual. And
that's why people will never try. They're never going to
trust them again. You have to earn people's trust in life,
you really do. Joe Biden's White House physician worked with
Jim Biden on a project that was later accused of
massive medicaid fraud, according to a report Fox News July seventh,
(20:28):
twenty twenty four. And anyway, James Comer wanted a question
doctor Kevin O'Connor about whether his medical assessments of Biden's
health have been improperly influenced by his work with the
Biden family and a company called the Merricorps. Anyway, from
that article, It turns out Biden's White House physician, who
somehow managed to miss Biden's stage four prostate cancer until
(20:52):
last week, used to work with the Biden family Rainmaker
his brother Jim Biden. They worked together on a rural
hospital project as Americrps that was eventually accused of what
Politico described as quote massive Medicaid fraud, and as recently
as last year, the House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer
was investigating his doctor to find out whether the business
(21:14):
relationship with the Biden family may have caused him to
look the other way on Biden's health problems. I mean,
what's your job anyway? From Politico, February twenty four. Jim
Biden played a major role in the company Americ Corps,
which the government accused of massive Medicare fraud. At least
three of Joe's relatives did work with Americrps. They included
(21:36):
Jim Biden's wife and his son, and the President's son
Hunter also met with the CEO and his personal doctor.
Current White House physician Kevin O'Connor joined a meeting with
Jim Biden and the president of a hospital being acquired
by Americrps and James Comer's demanded the White House physician
appear before Congress to answer questions, while also revealing the
(22:00):
doctor has been involved in the Biden family business dealings,
and Comer wanted to know whether O'Connor's medical assessments of
the presidents have been improperly influenced by his work with
the Biden family and the company AMERICRPS. I mean, our
long national nightmare is over. This was a nightmare, you know,
(22:21):
President Trump warning the Biden's cancer cover up was dangerous
for the country. Well, his cognitive cover up was dangerous
for the country. You don't have to be a genius
to figure all this out, you really don't. That's incredible.
That's what they're doing. By the way, RFK Junior just
just ripping the World Health Organization for caving to China
(22:44):
on COVID and celebrating pandemic failures in a stunning video.
And thank god we're out of the who We're not
funding it anymore. I don't think we should be supporting
any and I mean any globalist organization, none at all, whatsoever.
(23:04):
I think that's got to end. Hillary Clinton is floating Obama,
Bill Clinton running for third terms if Trump runs again.
I'm all for that. I don't think Donald Trump really planned.
I think Donald Trump likes the troll. I think he's
having fun with it because they bubble and fizz like Alca,
saltz aer and water, and it's just fun to watch.
(23:25):
It's so predictable at this point, and I think he
enjoys it. Federal charges filed against a Democratic congresswoman following
this confrontation at this ice facility. This is in New Jersey,
where the acting US Attorney Lena Habba is charging Representative
La Monica McLever. McLever, is I don't say the person's
(23:47):
name of alleged misconduct, mcclaver.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
How do you say it? You can say it on air.
Mc iver, Monica mcgever. You're messing it up, too, so
you're not any help. I am not messing it up.
You just totally messed it up. I did not. You
don't even know for sure that it's mackaiver. You're guessing
the way I'm guessing. Let's call her an idiot. That's
what she is.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
That's fine, okay, the idio congresswoman from New Jersey.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Is that how you'd like me to refer to her,
I would actually thank you, I would actually would you please.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Anonymous Democrats confess the Time magazine their party is too
extreme on abortion and trans athletes. They're so afraid of
AOC the squad Jasmine, Crockett and Bernie that they don't
want to come out by the way, Oh, let's play.
James Comy is eighty six forty seven post. He claims
(24:40):
he's the victim.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Listen to this. He was on MSDNC.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
I don't know how we ended up here. Never occurred
to me that it was any kind of controversial thing,
but that's the time of it.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
So take me back to the walk on the beach.
Speaker 6 (24:51):
If we were walking on the beach.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
We went to the beach to prepare.
Speaker 6 (24:53):
For this week, which was the launch of my book,
and to think about the book and to prepare to
ask answer questions about it.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Walking back towards the road.
Speaker 6 (25:02):
And we saw in the sand someone had arranged shells
with numbers, and Patrice, my wife, said, why would someone
put an address in the sand?
Speaker 2 (25:09):
And I said, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
And we stood over it and I said, you know,
I think it's some kind of like political message, and
she said, you know, eighty six.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
When I was a server.
Speaker 6 (25:17):
She did a lot of working in restaurants. Meant to
remove an item from the menu when you ran out
of ingredients, And I said, well, to me, as a kid,
it always meant to leave a place to.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Ditch a place.
Speaker 6 (25:26):
I said, that's really clever. So then she said you
should take a picture of that, and I did, and
I posted it on my Instagram account and thought nothing
more of it until I heard through her that people
were saying it was some sort of a call for assassination,
which is crazy. But I took it down. Even if
I think it's crazy. I don't want to be associated
with violence of any kind. It's hard to have regret
(25:47):
about something that, even in hindsight, looks to me to
be totally innocent by somebody. I actually didn't think of
it as political speech by me, but I thought, what
a clever way to express a political view. The shells
were the same for each of the letters, so different
colors for the letters.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
It took a lot of work.
Speaker 6 (26:04):
Somebody with artistic flair did that, and I have a
hard time believing it was anybody with a dark intention,
and it certainly was no dark intention on my part.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
But he thought it was a political message.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
His interpretation of the word eighty six is to ditch
a place, and he didn't put ditch forty seven together
or assassinate eighty six. Donald Trump, he wants you to
believe that I don't believe a word that comes out
of James Comey's mouth. Let me put it that way,
(26:39):
not a single word. I don't believe a thing that
that man says. And I just whatever. Pete heg Seth
has ordered a comprehensive review of Joe Biden's catastrophic withdrawal
from Afghanistan. Thank god, maybe we'll get to the bottom
of it. Maybe we can get Bagram Airbase back too
while we're at it, and maybe we can get our
(27:01):
billions of dollars in military equipment back. Just saying top
democrat ripping red red taker states getting subsidized by blue
donor states like New York. This is all they all want.
They all want to deduct the state and local taxes.
I have a way to de duct state local taxes
in New York and New Joysey and Illinois and California, California,
(27:25):
all of them. How about you you elect low tax
and spend and fiscally responsible politicians. Why don't you start
with that. By way, Chicago's Mayor Brandon Johnson says he
favors hiring black staff because they are the earth's most
generous race. Lord Is Miami Dade County has now flipped
(27:47):
red in voter registration for the first time in history.
Things are changing dramatically around the country. I just we're
living in weird times anyway, President announcing the Iron Dome.
We got Jim Jordan, We've got Matt Towery on our poles,
(28:08):
and we're going to get into how to pass the
one big, beautiful bill that's all happening today. Eight hundred
and nine four one shown is a number if you
want to be a part of the program.
All right, thank you Scott Shannon, and thanks to all
of you for being with us. Right down are toll
free number, it's eight hundred and nine to four one, Shawn.
If you want to be a part of the program,
We've got Congressman Jim Jordan today will join us on
the one Big Beautiful Bill, and President Trump on Capitol
Hill today meeting with Republicans and trying to get this
(00:22):
over the finish line. Also James Blair, the White House
Deputy Chief of Staff for Legislative, Political and Public Affairs.
He's spearheading the effort for the White House and for
the President. This is very, very critical. And when I
first went to the went to Congress at the start
(00:44):
of this term, and I had the town hall with
the House members and Speaker Johnson, and I had a
similar town hall with senators. The first thing I say
to them is everyone knows here that you're not going
to get everything that you want, especially because of the
arcane process that is known as reconciliation in the US Senate.
(01:04):
Long story short, I've explained it before. I won't go
into specificity in detail, but it is a procedure by
which you can bypass the normal process of cloture and
the need for sixty votes to pass a bill in
the US Senate if it has to deal with financial
issues and get by with the simple majority, which is
(01:27):
the only way this is going to happen. I mean,
it is kind of spectacular that there are Democrats that
won't vote, that would vote for the largest tax increase
in American history and not make the Trump tax cuts permanent.
You know, it's a little mind numbing that the Party
of Compassion would not vote for no tax on tips
(01:47):
for service workers, that they would vote against tax, they
would vote to tax Social Security, that they want to
tax people's overtime. I mean things, Donald Trump's looking out
for hard working men and women, and those are the
people that really make America great. We certainly know the
Democratic Party puts the rights of illegal immigrants over the
(02:08):
safety of American citizens. We've seen that with the Prago
Garcia and the likes of Senator Van Holland by the way,
who got schooled by Mark or Rubio will play that
later in the program today. And we know that they
had a chance in the US Senate to champion women's
sports and women's rights, but no, they chose to champion
(02:30):
the right of men to play women's sports. And they're
the party that's claiming what a constitutional crisis to eliminate
hundreds of billions of dollars in waste, fraud, abuse, and corruption.
And they are the party that won't stand for mothers
that lost their children at a joint session speech. And
they won't stand for young men to be cancer. And
they won't stand for the wife of a slain officer
(02:51):
hero or a young man who lost his father who
gets a commission to West Point. I mean, this is
how radical that they are. Likely voters from both sides
of the isles say AOC. I've been telling you this
for a long time. I was saying when Nancy Pelosi
was Speaker that he's only speaker in name only, that
(03:12):
it really was AOC. But now likely voters from both
sides of the isles say that AOC is the new
face of the Democratic Party. Bernie Sanders, Grandpa Bernie, comes
in second, and Jasmine Crockett comes in third. This was
in the olympiaan a plurality of Americans consider AOC to
be the new face of the party. Anyway, the Coefficient Survey,
(03:34):
twenty six percent of respondents named aoc uh and it
went on to then give Grandpa Bernie twelve percent. Jasmin
Crockett placed third with eight percent, Kamala Harris only garnered
six percent, Pothold Pete five percent, tying Hakeem Jeffries. Then
following that was Senator Corey Booker and Gavin Newsom at
(03:57):
two percent each. Told Gavin good luck with that got
something called a track record. The first group of Biden
illegals have to self deport after accepting free transportation and
a thousand dollars cash reward from the Trump administration. The
beauty of that for them is they will have a
(04:17):
chance to come into the country again legally. If you
don't self deport, you'll never get a chance to come
into this country legally. Ever again, that window will close
and you'll never get into the country legally, period, end
of sentence. That's just the way it's going to be.
And so I give a lot. I mean, those people
were smart, in my view, they were very smart to
(04:40):
do that. I just think that they're right on target,
and I think it's good for the country that you're
giving them the opportunity to say, well.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Why are we give them the money? We're rewarding, but.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
No, it's costing us a fortune for healthcare, housing, education,
the criminal justice system. We're getting off, you know, eighty
percent discount, given him a free plane ticket in one
thousand bucks to restart their life. Lindsey Graham now has
seventy two Senators backing his bill to impose bone crushing
(05:13):
sanctions on Russia.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Will hit that later.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Senator Marshall Blackburn is sponsored a bill to end birth
tourism by foreign nationals, which is becoming a bigger and
bigger issue day by day. Got to give a tip
of the hat to Home Depot as we start the
program today. They won't hike prices on consumers to offset
President Trump's tarifs, although that is not really materialized to
(05:37):
the extent that they said. So, Chuck Schumer in a
further decline, I mean, it's kind of hard to get
further down the path than he's gone. But anyway, New
York City Mayor Eric Adams has pulled the rugout from
Chucky Schumer trying to blame the Trump administration for causing
that Mexican Navy ship to collide with the Brooklyn Bridge,
(05:59):
and Schumer suggests the Doge cuts to the US Coast
Guard played a role in the tragedy. On Saturday, I'm
fighting for answers about whether Trump and Doge have impacted
water traffic control. This is like they're trying to blame
the idiot, you know. Mayor Pothole Pete handed off to
Sean Duffy, shy, they would shy three thousand air traffic controllers.
(06:24):
And this is a guy that said to Sean Duffy,
because I talked to Sean Duffy and interviewed Sean Duffy,
that Pothole Pete said, Oh, this is a department that
runs himself, that runs itself if you don't do a
damn thing. And the equipment in these air traffic control
centers are from the fifties and sixties. You're lucky if
it's from the seventies. For crying out loud, anyway, Mayor
(06:46):
Adams undercut Schumer's bogus conspiracy theory and claim, citing the
Coastguard's full response to the ship's collision with the East
River Bridge and said that the city handles crisis well
during an appearance on Fox five Good Day New York
and anyway, so he says, I'm not clear where the
(07:06):
Senator got his information, but I know that we had
a full response on both sides of the river.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Unless the Senator knows something that I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
It turns out the boat lost power and there wasn't
a penny cut from what he's claiming. But you know,
don't expect Democrats to ever tell you the truth. There
is going to be a lot of focus on this
program today and a lot of focus, you know, for
the rest of the week. To be very honest, the
one big, beautiful bill that the President went to the
(07:37):
Capitol today to urge Republicans to stop complaining and pass
the budget bill. Look, and nobody's going to get everything
they want, but this is what we are getting. The
tax cuts will be made permanent, otherwise we get the
largest tax increase in American history. There will be no
tax on tips. You know what, When I worked in
the service industry and I was a busboy, waiter, I
(08:00):
would have loved no tax on tips. When I worked
in construction, I always worked over time. I would have
loved no tax on overtime. That's for working men and women. Democrats,
you want to vote against it, all you'll do is
confirmed to the American people what we've been saying. You
are the party of out of touch coastal elites that
(08:21):
believe in the New Green Deal, wokeism, transgenderism. You think
it's a constitutional crisis to save hundreds of billions of
dollars on these radical views spent overseas. You know, you
champion the right of men to play women's sports. Put
the rights of illegals, even illegal gang members, over the
safety of Americans. You know that's the party that you are. Anyway,
(08:44):
the President toll House Republicans that he is to drop
their push for further changes to the big beautiful bill
pass it this week. I think his message was a
lot of good, hard negotiations have been going on. One
of the outside issues happens to be salt, the state
and local tax deduction. Now, when I was in New
(09:07):
York during Trump's first term, I know I am full
time in Florida. In case you haven't heard, I try
to mention it as often as I can, the Free
State of Laria, because I'm happy to be here and
glad to be out of there. But anyway, one of
the I ended up paying more taxes, even though Donald
Trump cut taxes because He also cut the deduction for
state and local taxes. You used to be able to
(09:28):
deduct it all on your on your tax form, and
he reduced it to ten percent, and that meant I
paid more. I ended up paying more net more in taxes.
But it was the right thing to do. Otherwise, you're
rewarding states that elect big taxes spend governors and mayors
and legislators and city councils that that's all they do.
(09:51):
And the states that that elect fiscally responsible people, people
that that don't tax and spend. There's constituents don't get
this benefit. It's ridiculous. And the President was very clear,
don't mess with Medicaid. Is a little salt to your language.
(10:11):
And some conservatives are still looking for changes that would
reduce federal funding for states that expanded Medicaid under Obamacare
to be to cover able bodied adults. I think that
provision will be taken out. Actually, I do believe that
they're working on some compromise there. Somehouse Freedom CALLCUS members
(10:32):
did not relent after the meeting seeking further changes to Medicaid,
saying that the President discussed rooting out waste, fraud, and
abuse in the program. Which remains their aim. I think
they're going to win on that, so I think that's
not going to be a problem as of now. The
salt deduction, which is capped ten thousand, would go to
thirty thousand in the current rendition of the bill that
I'm seeing. You know, the President's got a lot of
(10:54):
big things on his plate here and he's got to
deal with Iran at the same time. And the President
could have been more clear on that trip to the
Middle East. Iran has a choice. They're either going to join.
They're either going to give up there in Richmond, they're
gonna stop pursuing nuclear weapons and they're gonna go along
with the deal, or that it will be done for them.
(11:17):
He could not have been more clearly have two choices.
He was very clear numerous times, and he was very
clear to these countries.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I was there.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
I heard him say it numerous times that he wants
these countries to now sign on to the Abraham Records.
I think that will happen probably after the issue of
Iran is decided. I do not believe the Iranians will
give up enrichment. I just that's my own personal opinion.
And if they don't give it up. It'll be given
(11:46):
up for them, whether they like it or not. The
President's still pushing for a deal with Russia and first
getting a cease fire, and we'll see what happens without
his trying. Everything he's trying to do is big. These
are all big things. But this bill is so critical
now I may need to deputize many of you. We
(12:06):
did this during the election, and we put up the
Kamala files and the Walls files, and we asked you,
you know, to send it to your friends and your family,
and your neighbors and your coworkers and anybody that you
knew and put it up on social media, and many
of you responded. We only had one hundred and six
days to vet Kamala Harris. It was critical that so
many of you get involved and if we are getting
(12:29):
the names of people that might be getting in the way.
Because again, this bill will help build out the next
generation of weaponry. This bill will provide for border security
and deportations. This bill will make the tax cuts permanent.
It will eliminate taxes on tips, social security, and overtime.
This bill will also begin the process of moving America
(12:52):
towards energy dominance, which will help make this country rich
on top of the ten trillion dollars in commitments and manufacture,
especially in areas that we need for national security reasons
like pharmaceuticals and semiconductors and automobiles. I mean, this will
be hopefully the Golden Age. And by the way, at
(13:12):
some point we expect the President will speak from the
White House, and when he does, he's going to speak
about the plans for the Golden Dome that m might
go down as his greatest legacy. I think strategic defense.
When you see the Iron Dome working, that's Reagan's vision
that Democrats and the legacy media mob at the time
(13:34):
were mocking Star Wars. They called it, well, a lot
of Star Wars has prevented a lot of weapons from
landing in places like Israel, and that was a great
vision to the president. But to have one around the
entire United States. I love the idea, and I think
it over time, probably when we're long gone from this
(13:54):
earth and we go home to our father, that that
will probably be as the greatest legacy the president. I'm
not sure what the rules are with this. When Kamala Harris,
you know, paid for the endorsements for Beyonce and Springsteen
and Oprah Winfrey.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
ETA.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
It's very clever how they they paid these people, because
these celebrity endorsements, first of all, they're dead, They had
no impact at all. The President thinks that it warrants
an investigation that laws may have been broken by paying
these stars Beyonce and Bruce Springsteen and Bono and Oprah anyway,
(14:40):
because the Harris campaign previously denied this, but the FBC
record show that money's went to Beyonce's production company one
hundred and sixty five grand. A million dollars went to
Oprah Winfrey's Harpro Productions. I believe her her, but she
says she didn't take a personal fee. That now there's
(15:02):
no law explicitly banning paid endorsements. Campaign payments, however, must
be properly disclosed and where they properly disclosed. And of course, uh,
you know, Bruce Springsteen was called the dry that tried
out proven. Did you see that? Chris Christy must have
had heart palpitations. He's so in love with Bruce Springsteen.
(15:23):
Bruce Springsteen hates him and wants nothing to do with him.
That I from the last I heard. But you know
one thing Not only did the state run legacy media die,
but so did celebrity endorsements died because Americans don't care
what they think. They just don't care, and uh they
and they shouldn't care. And half these people don't know
(15:44):
what the hell they're talking about anyway. And these are
the same people that and and this goes to the
heart of where we've been all week, and that is,
you know, this, this whole Joe Biden cover up lie.
And again, I feel sorry if Joe Biden has cancer,
I really do. The idea that it's prostate cancer and
it could have been detected earlier is unbelievable. But with
(16:08):
all of that said, and we offer all the prayers
in the world for him and a speedy recovery. Prostate
cancer is one of the most detectable cancers. And I
know so much about how protected presidents are in terms
(16:28):
of their health. I know a lot more than the
average Joe and things that I would not share on
radio because I don't think I should. But I'm telling
you presidents have access to the best medical care, as
they should. They're the president of the most powerful country
on earth, you know. But I will tell you nobody
(16:51):
trusts any of anything of what they say, because of
everything that we learned about, all the lies that they told.
They they they kept his cognitive decline a secret. They
all knew about it. They kept it a secret. The
media all knew about it, and they kept it a secret.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
And this is.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
They created what is a clear and present danger and
a national security risk for our country. And that's just
that's just a simple fact.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
You know.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
It's uh like the emperor has no close right. And
now we have the Robert her tape and we played
that on the program here yesterday. We played it on
TV last night, you know, her interviews Biden and concluded
that while Joe had flagrantly broken the law like comie,
you know, realized Hillery broke the law, but no reasonable
prosecutor would prosecute except if it was Donald Trump. Then
(17:50):
we're going to raid mar A Lago and and go
through Malania's personal items. And it's so sick, it's such
a flagrant double standard. And away the tape showed that
her was extremely kind. By the way, why wasn't he
sworn in even though Democrats ripped me? He didn't even
know when his own sun died, and he when he
was told his own sun die. Then he got it
(18:12):
wrong again, and that story kept changing and and you know,
and then I will say this too because and John
Stewart really kind of nailed this whole thing. And he
said about Tapper, Jake Tapper was one of the people
that was a denier of Joe's cognitive decline, and we
(18:33):
have him on tape and now he's going to make
money off this. And John Stewart said, Uh, these guys, Yeah,
maybe you should have told us what was in the
book a year ago?
Speaker 2 (18:43):
How about four years ago?
Speaker 3 (18:45):
How weird it is that the News is selling you
a book about news they should have told you was
news a year ago for free.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
It's it's just fun to watch them not only continue
to push the book in light of this difficult news,
but to actually frame this difficult news as perhaps even
more of a reason to buy this book.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Some observers will say that the reporting in the book
is even more important now.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
Yet nobody's saying that. No observers will say it's more
important now. Some observers might think, do these CNN people
work on commission?
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Like are they hawking this thing?
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Is this a girl scout cookie situation, who ever sells
the most tap of books gets a shwin.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
And that is very funny. That is very funny.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
But I mean how the CNN journalists covered up the
Biden cover up before writing a book about it. I mean,
it's it's just so the media is so corrupt and
then this this whole dubious claim and why so long,
and you know, it's it's just the big lie. And
they knew about all of this the whole time. They
(20:04):
knew about it. When I first reported on it, we
told the truth as usual. They lied as usual. And
that's why people will never try. They're never going to
trust them again. You have to earn people's trust in life,
you really do. Joe Biden's White House physician worked with
Jim Biden on a project that was later accused of
massive medicaid fraud, according to a report Fox News July seventh,
(20:28):
twenty twenty four. And anyway, James Comer wanted a question
doctor Kevin O'Connor about whether his medical assessments of Biden's
health have been improperly influenced by his work with the
Biden family and a company called the Merricorps. Anyway, from
that article, It turns out Biden's White House physician, who
somehow managed to miss Biden's stage four prostate cancer until
(20:52):
last week, used to work with the Biden family Rainmaker
his brother Jim Biden. They worked together on a rural
hospital project as Americrps that was eventually accused of what
Politico described as quote massive Medicaid fraud, and as recently
as last year, the House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer
was investigating his doctor to find out whether the business
(21:14):
relationship with the Biden family may have caused him to
look the other way on Biden's health problems. I mean,
what's your job anyway? From Politico, February twenty four. Jim
Biden played a major role in the company Americ Corps,
which the government accused of massive Medicare fraud. At least
three of Joe's relatives did work with Americrps. They included
(21:36):
Jim Biden's wife and his son, and the President's son
Hunter also met with the CEO and his personal doctor.
Current White House physician Kevin O'Connor joined a meeting with
Jim Biden and the president of a hospital being acquired
by Americrps and James Comer's demanded the White House physician
appear before Congress to answer questions, while also revealing the
(22:00):
doctor has been involved in the Biden family business dealings,
and Comer wanted to know whether O'Connor's medical assessments of
the presidents have been improperly influenced by his work with
the Biden family and the company AMERICRPS. I mean, our
long national nightmare is over. This was a nightmare, you know,
(22:21):
President Trump warning the Biden's cancer cover up was dangerous
for the country. Well, his cognitive cover up was dangerous
for the country. You don't have to be a genius
to figure all this out, you really don't. That's incredible.
That's what they're doing. By the way, RFK Junior just
just ripping the World Health Organization for caving to China
(22:44):
on COVID and celebrating pandemic failures in a stunning video.
And thank god we're out of the who We're not
funding it anymore. I don't think we should be supporting
any and I mean any globalist organization, none at all, whatsoever.
(23:04):
I think that's got to end. Hillary Clinton is floating Obama,
Bill Clinton running for third terms if Trump runs again.
I'm all for that. I don't think Donald Trump really planned.
I think Donald Trump likes the troll. I think he's
having fun with it because they bubble and fizz like Alca,
saltz aer and water, and it's just fun to watch.
(23:25):
It's so predictable at this point, and I think he
enjoys it. Federal charges filed against a Democratic congresswoman following
this confrontation at this ice facility. This is in New Jersey,
where the acting US Attorney Lena Habba is charging Representative
La Monica McLever. McLever, is I don't say the person's
(23:47):
name of alleged misconduct, mcclaver.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
How do you say it? You can say it on air.
Mc iver, Monica mcgever. You're messing it up, too, so
you're not any help. I am not messing it up.
You just totally messed it up. I did not. You
don't even know for sure that it's mackaiver. You're guessing
the way I'm guessing. Let's call her an idiot. That's
what she is.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
That's fine, okay, the idio congresswoman from New Jersey.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Is that how you'd like me to refer to her,
I would actually thank you, I would actually would you please.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Anonymous Democrats confess the Time magazine their party is too
extreme on abortion and trans athletes. They're so afraid of
AOC the squad Jasmine, Crockett and Bernie that they don't
want to come out by the way, Oh, let's play.
James Comy is eighty six forty seven post. He claims
(24:40):
he's the victim.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Listen to this. He was on MSDNC.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
I don't know how we ended up here. Never occurred
to me that it was any kind of controversial thing,
but that's the time of it.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
So take me back to the walk on the beach.
Speaker 6 (24:51):
If we were walking on the beach.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
We went to the beach to prepare.
Speaker 6 (24:53):
For this week, which was the launch of my book,
and to think about the book and to prepare to
ask answer questions about it.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Walking back towards the road.
Speaker 6 (25:02):
And we saw in the sand someone had arranged shells
with numbers, and Patrice, my wife, said, why would someone
put an address in the sand?
Speaker 2 (25:09):
And I said, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
And we stood over it and I said, you know,
I think it's some kind of like political message, and
she said, you know, eighty six.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
When I was a server.
Speaker 6 (25:17):
She did a lot of working in restaurants. Meant to
remove an item from the menu when you ran out
of ingredients, And I said, well, to me, as a kid,
it always meant to leave a place to.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Ditch a place.
Speaker 6 (25:26):
I said, that's really clever. So then she said you
should take a picture of that, and I did, and
I posted it on my Instagram account and thought nothing
more of it until I heard through her that people
were saying it was some sort of a call for assassination,
which is crazy. But I took it down. Even if
I think it's crazy. I don't want to be associated
with violence of any kind. It's hard to have regret
(25:47):
about something that, even in hindsight, looks to me to
be totally innocent by somebody. I actually didn't think of
it as political speech by me, but I thought, what
a clever way to express a political view. The shells
were the same for each of the letters, so different
colors for the letters.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
It took a lot of work.
Speaker 6 (26:04):
Somebody with artistic flair did that, and I have a
hard time believing it was anybody with a dark intention,
and it certainly was no dark intention on my part.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
But he thought it was a political message.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
His interpretation of the word eighty six is to ditch
a place, and he didn't put ditch forty seven together
or assassinate eighty six. Donald Trump, he wants you to
believe that I don't believe a word that comes out
of James Comey's mouth. Let me put it that way,
(26:39):
not a single word. I don't believe a thing that
that man says. And I just whatever. Pete heg Seth
has ordered a comprehensive review of Joe Biden's catastrophic withdrawal
from Afghanistan. Thank god, maybe we'll get to the bottom
of it. Maybe we can get Bagram Airbase back too
while we're at it, and maybe we can get our
(27:01):
billions of dollars in military equipment back. Just saying top
democrat ripping red red taker states getting subsidized by blue
donor states like New York. This is all they all want.
They all want to deduct the state and local taxes.
I have a way to de duct state local taxes
in New York and New Joysey and Illinois and California, California,
(27:25):
all of them. How about you you elect low tax
and spend and fiscally responsible politicians. Why don't you start
with that. By way, Chicago's Mayor Brandon Johnson says he
favors hiring black staff because they are the earth's most
generous race. Lord Is Miami Dade County has now flipped
(27:47):
red in voter registration for the first time in history.
Things are changing dramatically around the country. I just we're
living in weird times anyway, President announcing the Iron Dome.
We got Jim Jordan, We've got Matt Towery on our poles,
(28:08):
and we're going to get into how to pass the
one big, beautiful bill that's all happening today. Eight hundred
and nine four one shown is a number if you
want to be a part of the program.
