Progress never comes from those satisfied with the failures of
a broken system. It comes from those who want to
fix the broken system.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Running as an act is political. And you know who
taught me that, Tim Walls. The first thing he told
me was that running is a privilege.

Coming up next our final News round Up and Information
Overload Hour.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
My News Roundup and Information Overload Hour, toll free. Our
number is eight hundred and nine four one, Sean. If
you want to be a part of the program. We
have a lot of good news on the economy One.
This came in last Friday when China reached out and said, well,
President Trump's serious about having meetings over trade and terrorists.
(01:36):
They will meet. Well, that's going to happen in Geneva
with the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant. And what is if
I've been saying, I said, at the end of the day,
all of these countries, Donald Trump did something no president
has done or in fifty or sixty years. He's taken
on the established way or establishment way of doing things,
(01:58):
and he's at the Institution thinking that you know, it
permeates that swamp known as DC and he's looking at
everything anew and he saw that pretty much every country,
both friend and foe alike, were kind of ripping us
off with unfair tariffs and horrible trade deals. And he
(02:18):
decided that he was going to take action. And I said,
wait and be patient, and I bet over time you're
going to see the President announced deal after deal after deal,
and yes, eventually China will will come to the table,
all of which is now turning out to be true.
This is the President announcing a trade deal with the
United Kingdom earlier today this morning.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
I'm thrilled to announce that we've reached a breakthrough trade
deal with the United Kingdom, credible country. Today is a
victory day for World War Two. We won the war
together exactly eighty years ago, so there could be no
more perfect morning to reach this historic agreement.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
And it's beautiful weather.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
I will tell you that gear beautiful weather is so
perfect outside, but it's really in particular the agreement with
one of our closest and most cherished allies, and we're so.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Happy that that's the way it worked out.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
I want to thank Prime Minister Starmer and his very
talented team for their outstanding work and partnership.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Today's agreement with the UK is the.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
First and a series of agreements on trade that my
administration has been negotiating over the past four weeks. With
this deal, the UK joins the United States and affirming
that reciprocity and fairness is an essential and vital principle
of international trade.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
All right.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Joining us now is South Carolina Senator Lindsey Grahmas. With US, Senator,
I never had any doubt on these deals because everyone
needs access to our market. Nobody seemed to have any
confidence to challenge the old order, the old way of thinking.
You had a lot of confidence. You expressed to me
you were worried at all about it.
Speaker 8 (04:06):
Well, I mean, we got a good hand. You just
need somebody that knows how to play a good hands.
The world has a pair of twos compared to us,
and Donald Trump is you know, I told everybody just
calm down. People want access to our markets. They need it.
They'll come our way. So let me give you an
example of what he's trying to do. We make BMWs
x five x three x seven series in Greenville, South Carolina.
(04:29):
More BMW's made there than any place in the world.
And if we make a car in Greenville, South Carolina
sell it to Europe, it's a ten percent tariff. If
they make a car in Munich and sell it to
the United States, it's two and a half. That's not fair.
So we're gonna wipe all that stuff out. We're gonna
have fair trade deals. We're gonna have reciprocal tariffs, hopefully
when make them low, not high. And we're going to
(04:52):
engage the world on trade. And we're gonna do with
China to stop being ripped off. Why aren't they buying
the bullings? You know, that's a good will gesture for
coming to Trump.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Just be patient.
Speaker 8 (05:02):
It takes a while to fix sixty years of trade abuse.
And I've got his back, so keep doing it.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
No, you have from the beginning, I don't want ever
another Iraq and America embroiled in a foreign conflict that
it is no business being involved in. However, when when
you couple an ideology and they stay publicly death to Israel,
death to America, and they believe in a caliphate, and
(05:31):
that is this is a theocracy, and that is convert
to Islam or die. They are the number one state
sponsor of terror. We've been watching that unfold now for
a very long time, especially since they got a lot
of money when Biden became president. They are according to
published reports, and we talked to Aaron Cone, who's you know,
former Intel opera. You know that that's his business. Is
(05:54):
rarely trained Special Office intelligence veteran, and it's the breakout
time and publicly, and you would know better than me
because you have access to information. I don't is anywhere
between three and three months and a year. And I
just think that the world cannot risk a nuclear armed Iran.
The President has stated that is his belief. What is
(06:15):
your belief?
Speaker 8 (06:17):
Yeah, I mean, if you want to do, the most
destabilizing event in the world would be give the Io
and the Frenchman a nuclear weapon one they would use it.
They would use it against Israel. They say that, they
mean it. The Arabs would want their own nuclear weapon
to counter the Iranians, and you'd have a nuclear arms
race in the Mid East. It'd be a disaster. But
(06:37):
let's unpack what you just said. President Trump is going
to the Mid East. The hottest economies in the world
are in the Mid East. Saudi Arabia, the United airb
memorates guitar. These places are the twenty third century, you know,
the NBS. The Crown Prince is fundamentally changing Saudi Arabia
in all the good ways. So we're going forward. The
action is and they love Trump. They love Trump because
(06:59):
he stands up to Ron. He's a good ally, he's
a good friend. And I predict that Abraham Accords will
grow on Trump's watch. And we're going to go back
to the table and see if we get sorry Abe
Dick recognized Israel. I think that can happen. Once the
Palestinian issue, the war Wine's down so that's why he's
going and he will be a welcomed enthusiastically there. As
(07:22):
to Iran, Senator Cotton, Tom Cotton and I introduced a
resolution today saying the only acceptable outcome is dismantling the
iranium enrichment program. They have enough enriched uranium to make
six bombs within a month or two. They're at sixty percent.
To get to ninety percent, which is weapons great is
about a month, and President Trump is going to call
(07:46):
the question on a run. He's going to offer them
Savia nuclear power, which we can do safely, if they'll
dismantle their enrichment program, which is pathway to bomb. We're
going to put them on the clock. If they don't
take that deal, all bets are off. But we cannot
allow Ron to get a new Israel is not going
(08:06):
to allow that. This is the eightieth anniversary to end.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
President Trump said he's not going to allow it to happen,
and and when asked if it would be a joint
military effort with Israel, he said no, we will lead it,
meaning he he would lead it.
Speaker 8 (08:19):
He said that, so let's pray that there's no war,
but let's also understand that the only thing worse than
war sometimes is having evil people dominate your life. And
Israel one Holocaust is enough. Eighty years ago. Today we're
celebrating the end of the war in Europe. We defeated
the Nazis. What did the Nazis do? They tried to
(08:40):
kill Elvogen's The Jewish people founded their state in nineteen
forty eight. The biggest threat to the Jewish people and
the founding of Israel since the founding of Israel is
around with a new grow weapon. We're not gonna let
that happen again. We've got Israel's back. No better friend
of Israel than Donald Trump. If we can't get a
diplomatic solution to this problem, which is complete dismantling of
(09:01):
the enrichment capability of Baron, I would expect Israel would
have to act, and I hope we will act with them.
I hope we'll lead the way at least join in.
This is the most decisive time in the Mideast, really
since the founding Visrael. And I'm glad Trump is president.
You don't know how glad I am he is president
during these crucial days.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Maybe the most successful thing that you have done. And
you pointed out rightly so that there's only been what
four times in one hundred years where Republicans have had
control of the House, the Senate, and the White House,
and this is a historic opportunity. We are still living
under the Biden Harris economy, and in spite of that,
(09:44):
the President's been able to get eight trillion dollars in
manufacturing commitments from and by the way, including one point
five trillion dollars from the UAE one trillion dollars from
Saudi Arabia, hence the importance of that region. For other reasons,
they're investing in America, which is fascinating to me. And
(10:05):
you know when you when you as budget chairman, you
know you get to decide without going through the centate parliamentarian.
That might have been the most understated but important things
you've ever done as a US senator because that allows
us to buy go through the reconciliation process bypass the
parliamentarian because you made that decision unilaterally, and that that
(10:30):
ensures the possibility of this success of this one big,
beautiful bill that everybody's working on, which is going to
have profound implication.
Speaker 8 (10:37):
No, yeah, I think well so I as budget chairman,
I said, it's my decision to determined whether or not
the tax cuts expire. So I made a decision no
chairman has ever made before. I'm going to make the
task cut permanent using current policy, seeming may never go away.
So what do we need to do in reconciliation? Trump's
(10:58):
going all over the world, he's getting investment in America. Well,
what else can we do? Make those tax cuts expire
in December, permanent the R and D credit, the expensing credit,
the child task credits that average Americans need, make them permanent.
Cut spending. Do you know if we cut two trillion
dollars and spending over a ten year period, that's two percent.
(11:20):
So we should be at least able to do that,
if not more, raise the debt selling make the tax
cuts permanent. If we don't do that, we will hurt
the economy. If we do that, it will the economy
will soar. And I'm confident Republicans are not going to fail.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Well, I'm confident they're not going to fail. That we
really can't fail. I mean, this is too important. And
as long as you know, House Republicans and I know
everybody's not going to get everything that they want However,
this will go a long way to secure in the border.
This will go a long way to helping us achieve
the president's goal of energy dominance, which is going to
(11:59):
be great for the country, as will help national security
and funder Defense Department and the next generation of weaponry.
It'll help shore up social security and medicare. And I
think all the pieces are in place, especially with the
eight trillion committed an investment in this country. All the
pieces are in place for tremendous economic growth and prosperity
(12:23):
in my humble opinion.
Speaker 8 (12:25):
Oh, you're right, and we just need to back up
President Trump here. So the point is, reconciliation allows us
to make the tax cuts perment couse decision I made
without one Democratic vote. This is the process they use
to pass Obamacare and inflation, your Redutch net. We use
this in twenty seventeen. So we have a chance to
have one hundred and seventy five billion dollars for the border,
(12:48):
more bed space, more ice agents, finish the wall without
one Democratic vote, one hundred and fifty billion dollars of
new money for the defense, without being held hostage by
the Democrats. We have a chance to make the tax
without one Democratic vote. All the way we're going to
do these things is do it through reconciliation. Because Democrats
are not going to help you build the wall, they're
(13:08):
not going to help you deport illegal immigrants, They're not
going to make the task cuts permanent. So to all
those who are listening to Sean's show, get on the
phone and make sure we don't fail.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
I quick break more with South Carolina Senator Lindsay Graham,
and then your calls on the other side. Eight hundred
and nine to four one, Seawn as we continue. All right,
we continue now with South Carolina Senator Lindsay Graham. Let
me go to Russia and ask you. Obviously, the minerals
deal with the Ukraine was huge, but the person that's
been dragging his feet is Vladimir Putin, And as we speak,
(13:43):
Chinese Dictator Chi has extended this private meeting and press
event alongside Vladimir In which he declared that China and
Russia were ready to safeguard the global multilateral trading system,
presumably from Donald Trump, your reaction to them, and Putin's
(14:04):
reluctance to end this war.
Speaker 8 (14:07):
Well number one to trade the minerals deal with Ukraine
is huge. Ukraine has multiple treats of dollars of critical minerals,
digital economy. We will get the benefit of those minerals,
not Russia, not China. So that's a big frigging deal.
It helps the future of the American economy, gives us
(14:27):
a new relationship with Ukraine. We don't need to get
many more money. They got plenty of opportunity to buy
weapons from US and to be a good partner. As
to Russia, Trump wants a good deal. He wants to
end this war, and he wants to do it fairly
and not start another war. Putin is misjudging Trump and
(14:49):
play Trump at your own peril. Stay tuned. I'm planning
off with the President Trump this weekend. He's just about
had it with Russia because.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
He believed play golf for them all the time. Is
he good? I played with him in his first term, but.
Speaker 8 (15:08):
Hundreds of rounds of god, he's one of the best
amateur golfers I've ever played with. Period.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Uh all right, Wow, that's that's saying a lot. Now
you are you any good? Well, let me go back
to Russia because we're on an out of time. Do
you believe that that president that Putin will make well,
well we'll get there. In other words, that yeah, because
I don't I don't think he's getting any more than
(15:36):
what's currently on the table. And by the way, I
can't stand the Left is saying, you know, Biden saying, well,
we've given him everything. No crimea happened on your watch,
The invasion happened on your watch, the war happened on
your watch, and he's cleaning up. You know you're Adam
schiffhol that you left behind.
Speaker 8 (15:55):
Well, let me put it this way, real simple. If
I were going to call a group of people to
get it by how to deal with Putin, they would
be the last people I call Putin rate them. Basically,
everything that's going on in the world is a result
of weakness. From the lift getting out of Afghanistan led
the Pootin inventing Ukraine. You've got China just kicking us
(16:16):
around all over Asia. You got a rhyme trying to
break out for a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 9 (16:20):
Those days are you know what?
Speaker 1 (16:22):
It would be nice to have a more peaceful world,
wouldn't it, and one focused on prosperity and opportunity and
wealth for all. Lindsey Graham Senator, thank you. Eight hundred

Stay strong with Strong sell Mind and Body. So when
the President made this announcement, we played it earlier in
the program today, well let me play it again. When
he announces this trade deal with the United Kingdom, I
said this would happen deal after deal after deal. Here's
what he said this morning.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
I'm thrilled to announce that we've reached a breakthrough trade
deal with the United Kingdom, credible country. Today is a
victory day for World War Two. We won the war
together exactly eighty years ago, so there could be no
more perfect morning to reach this historic agreement.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
And it's beautiful weather out.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
I will tell you that gear beautiful weather, so perfect outside,
But it's really in particular the agreement with one of
our closest and most cherished allies, and we're.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
So happy that that's the way it worked out.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
I want to thank Prime Minister Starmer and his very
talented team for the outstanding work and partnership. Today's agreement
with the UK is the first and a series of
agreements on trade that my administration has been negotiating over.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
The past four weeks.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
With this deal, the UK joins the United States and
affirming that reciprocity and fairness is an essential and vital
principle of international trade.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
And my prediction is is there going to be many
deals in the future. Here's some of the details of
this trade deal, the first of what will be many
with the United Kingdom. Either way, considering that this day
eighty years ago today the end of World War Two,
I think it probably was most appropriate. And here's some
of the details.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
The deal includes billions of dollars of increased market access
for American exports, especially in agriculture, dramatically increasing access for
American beef, ethanol, and virtually all of the products produced
by our great farmers. In addition, the UK will reduce
or eliminate numerous non tariff barriers that unfairly discriminated against
(20:33):
American products. But this is now turning out, I think,
really to be a great deal for both countries. They'll
also be fast tracking American goods through their customs process,
so our exports go to a very very quick form
of approval and there won't be any red tape. Things
are going to move very quickly both ways. The final
(20:53):
details of being written up in the coming weeks will
have it all very conclusive, but the actual deal is
a very inclusive one. We think just about everything's been approved.
We'll also receive new market access to American chemicals, machinery,
and many other industrial products that weren't allowed.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Furthermore, in a historic.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
Step, the deal includes plans that will bring the United
Kingdom into the economic security alignment with the United States.
That's the first of its kind, so we have a
big economic security blanket.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
And also the President did touch on trade negotiations with China.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
If the talks go well this weekend between Sanitary, Bassett
Ambassador Career with their.
Speaker 8 (21:35):
Chinese counterparts, not preemptively, but if the talks go well,
would you then consider lowering the territory on China.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Well, it could be. I mean, we're going to see
it right now. You can't get any higher. IT'SAID one
hundred and forty five, so we know it's coming down.
I think we're going to have a very good relationship.
You know, I always got along very well with Presidency.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
That relationship was greatly disturbed by COVID when COVID came in.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
But we get along very well now.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
I mean we had a I mean, the relationship was
hurt with a lot of people, a lot of countries
when COVID came in. But I think we're gonna have
a very good relationship. I expect to have a very
good relationship with China.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Scott.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
I think it's a very friendly meeting. They look forward
to doing.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
It in an elegant way.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
China, as you know, has a tremendous trade surplus with.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
US, and we can't you know, we just can't have that.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
And but I think it's gonna I think it's gonna
be very good for both countries.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
I would like to see China opened.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
But now I think that we're gonna have a I
think we're gonna have a good weekend with China.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
I think they have a lot to gain. I do
think they have far more to gain than we do
in a sense.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
But uh, we're gonna have a good I think we're
gonna have a very very good weekend.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
I hope we do have a good relationship. Who wants
a bad really? Who wants war? Who wants who wants
you know, okay, this is like mutually assured destruction. They
need access to our markets, we need their rare earth minerals.
And then better if you get along, you know, it's
better for Ukraine and foodin and you know, maybe stop
shelling each other and start making money and prospering and
doing deals together. All right, let's get to our busy phones.
(23:09):
Let's say hi to Rob and Oklahoma. Rob, how are
you glad you called?
Speaker 3 (23:13):
Good morning?
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Sir, morning, sir, it's afternoon, but whatever, who's counting.
Speaker 10 (23:19):
I wanted to focus on this new pope I hold
as a cradle Catholic. I hold great hope for him
to be a.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Guy who takes care of his business.
Speaker 11 (23:33):
In other words, he needs to focus on my soul
and on the Bible, not on politics. Sergeant Alvin Yorke,
who I know, you know, found this verse of Mark
twelve seventeen.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
It says, render under Caesar.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
What is Caesar's?
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Render?
Speaker 11 (23:47):
Under God?
Speaker 2 (23:48):
What is God's?
Speaker 4 (23:49):
And I have great hope that our new American pope
will do that very thing and focus on the words
of the Bible and not on a politics, not waiy
in nonsensically in politics.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Look, I have great hope for this pope, I really do.
And I hope that he can he can revitalize I
mean human beings, a mind, body, and spirit. I hope
he can revitalize the spirit of mankind in ways that
you know, really only God can and remind us that
(24:26):
you know that we're all His children, et cetera. We're
talking about the first American pope. His name is Robert Prevost.
He has taken on the name Pope Leo the fourteenth.
Donald Trump released a statement congratulating him. Look being raised
Catholic for me and I consider myself a Christian now
(24:46):
non denominational over Catholic. I have some issues with the
church handling of the corruption issues, et cetera. That bothered me.
I still think the Mass is quite beautiful and and
the history of the churches. I don't know why they
changed what was their original policy about priests being married
for the first eleven twelve hundred years of the church
they allowed that. I think that greatly diminished the ability
(25:10):
to attract good people into that service. My view, I'm
not being critical here, especially on what is this very
special day for all my friends that are Catholic. With
that said, it gave me a foundational spiritual belief in God,
in Christ, etc. That I rely on every day of
(25:31):
my life. And yes, sir, that's why I've been working
hard on Linda, who's you know, a little bit of
backsliding going on with the hate list. I'm trying to
work on.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
Her, but she's focusing too.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
She knows what she knows, what's right now she's put
I think half the time she's pushing my buttons if
you want to know the truth. Well, anyway, listen, great
prayers for him, an American born cardinal graduated from Villanova,
now elected pope, and our prayers who were with him
and every Catholic as they celebrate this big day for them.
(26:06):
Thank you, my friend. Eight hundred ninety four one. Shawn
is a number if you want to be a part
of the program. Grant in Alabama? What's up, Grant? How
are you roll tied? Glad you called?
Speaker 8 (26:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (26:16):
Thank you for having me. Sean, Oh, you know.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Who I'm recently. I never met him before. Nick Saban.
Speaker 9 (26:22):
Oh, hey, that man is a He is a saint
in his own right. I know the pope was just selected.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
H and Alabama football. Alabama Football's are religion. I learned
that firsthand. I had no idea. I was not a
big college sports fan as I am now, but at
the time, because where I grew up, it was all
professional sports, and uh, you know, how many except for
Saint John's basketball, how many you know there are no
(26:48):
major New York you know football teams. Everything is focused
on the Yankees and the Mets and the Rangers and
the Knicks and the Nets and et cetera. Not so
much on college sports is weird and you go south
every you know, everything Southern every is college it is.
Speaker 9 (27:07):
It is absolutely a religion down here. So I was
showing what I wanted to talk to you about. I'm
a first time voter. My first election was in November,
which is kind of exciting, and uh, you know, I've
cast my vote for Donald Trump, and I wonder. I
mean a lot of people have asked me why I
did that. A lot of people around me not in
(27:28):
like a you know, a hostile way, but I think
it all comes down to common sense and bringing common
politics back into the United States of America. I can't
sit here and rationalize in front of a ballot that
that the murder of children is healthcare, or that boys
can be girls and girls can be boys. And that's
(27:49):
really what it came down to in this election, and
this being my first election, those issues were the ones
that were important to me, and that's why I voted
the way that I did.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Well. Look, I think that everybody's got to follow their
own and who they vote for. And the one thing
I will say is I like to vote for common sense.
I'm not a I believe conservatism is common sense. Limited
government is common sense. Eliminating waste, fraud and abuse common sense.
Vetting people to come into our countries common sense. Living
(28:17):
within your means is common sense. Having a strong military,
knowing evil exists in this world is common sense. And
you know, I like to consider myself a common sense person.
Speaker 9 (28:29):
Oh absolutely, and I wouldn't even you know when people
ask me, I mean, I voted Republican, obviously, but when
people say, oh, are you right wing? Well today, if
you're right wing, that just means that you support the
rule of lobbying uphill, you support the police, you support
kids getting to go to the schools that their parents
(28:50):
have chosen. And if those things are all true for me,
which they are, then I suppose that I am right wing.
But the bottom line is that it comes down to
common sense and common thinking, and that that's what I'm
believe in. And then that is why I had to
go for Donald coup in.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
This common sense to me is God given, except common
sense is not so common I mean, think of it
that way.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
You're right about that?
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Yeah, all right, my friend, all the best to our
friends in Alabama. All right, back to our phones. Let's
say hi to Peter South Carolina, Peter, Hi, how are
you glad you called?
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Sar? Good afternoon, Sean. I got to tell you I
am calling you from my Pure Talk phone, okay, And

saving over one thousand a year for the same service.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
God, I'm saving a lot of money talking to you
on my brand new iPhone to Pure Talk. And you
know I'm not gonna I'll stop right there, but I
just want to let you know that what a great company,
and what I wanted to touch on.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
I put you.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
I put you on a pedestal along with I grew
up in the Paul Harvey era, all right, So I
put you on a pedestal with Paul Harvey and Rushler.
God bless and God bless their souls. I've been listening
to you for years and years, okay. But what you
know what disserves me is now that I'm retired since
(30:17):
twenty eighteen, I still have to pay in I still
have to pay taxes on Social Security and Medicare and Medicare.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
That's going away as soon as that Reconciliation bill is done.
No tax on tips, no tax on Social security, No
tax on overtime. That's that is all, that's not even
in question. That will be part of that bill.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Yeah, because I'm on you know, now that I'm retired,
I'm obviously a fixed budget, and I am so looking
forward to what the President has presented and and and
what what is going to be pushed through. And I'm
I'm actually excited about about it because people, you know,
(31:03):
blue collar workers like me. You know, I've paid in,
believe it or not, I've downloaded from a Social Security administration.
I've paid in over four hundred and fifty thousand dollars
in Medicare, Medicaid and.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
In taxes.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
And I'd like to see a little a little of
that coming back.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
So let me tell you something. We've made a vow,
a promise for our seniors, and I'm telling you right
now that we've got to keep that vow. That's all
there is to it. And we have to keep that
promise and we will. And by cutting waste for aud abuse,
we can you know, these these programs that are headed
towards insolvency because of their incompetence, mismanagement, and frankly outright theft.
(31:51):
We've got to make up that difference, and then we
got to stop Robin from our kids and grandkids. We
owe it to them to leave this country better than
we found it. You're a great American, sir, godlus you.
I hope you enjoy your retirement. You certainly sound like
you're earned it. Eight hundred and ninety four one. Sean,

Coming up next our final News round Up and Information
Overload Hour.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
My News Roundup and Information Overload Hour, toll free. Our
number is eight hundred and nine four one, Sean. If
you want to be a part of the program. We
have a lot of good news on the economy One.
This came in last Friday when China reached out and said, well,
President Trump's serious about having meetings over trade and terrorists.
(01:36):
They will meet. Well, that's going to happen in Geneva
with the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant. And what is if
I've been saying, I said, at the end of the day,
all of these countries, Donald Trump did something no president
has done or in fifty or sixty years. He's taken
on the established way or establishment way of doing things,
(01:58):
and he's at the Institution thinking that you know, it
permeates that swamp known as DC and he's looking at
everything anew and he saw that pretty much every country,
both friend and foe alike, were kind of ripping us
off with unfair tariffs and horrible trade deals. And he
(02:18):
decided that he was going to take action. And I said,
wait and be patient, and I bet over time you're
going to see the President announced deal after deal after deal,
and yes, eventually China will will come to the table,
all of which is now turning out to be true.
This is the President announcing a trade deal with the
United Kingdom earlier today this morning.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
I'm thrilled to announce that we've reached a breakthrough trade
deal with the United Kingdom, credible country. Today is a
victory day for World War Two. We won the war
together exactly eighty years ago, so there could be no
more perfect morning to reach this historic agreement.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
And it's beautiful weather.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
I will tell you that gear beautiful weather is so
perfect outside, but it's really in particular the agreement with
one of our closest and most cherished allies, and we're so.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Happy that that's the way it worked out.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
I want to thank Prime Minister Starmer and his very
talented team for their outstanding work and partnership.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Today's agreement with the UK is the.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
First and a series of agreements on trade that my
administration has been negotiating over the past four weeks. With
this deal, the UK joins the United States and affirming
that reciprocity and fairness is an essential and vital principle
of international trade.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
All right.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Joining us now is South Carolina Senator Lindsey Grahmas. With US, Senator,
I never had any doubt on these deals because everyone
needs access to our market. Nobody seemed to have any
confidence to challenge the old order, the old way of thinking.
You had a lot of confidence. You expressed to me
you were worried at all about it.
Speaker 8 (04:06):
Well, I mean, we got a good hand. You just
need somebody that knows how to play a good hands.
The world has a pair of twos compared to us,
and Donald Trump is you know, I told everybody just
calm down. People want access to our markets. They need it.
They'll come our way. So let me give you an
example of what he's trying to do. We make BMWs
x five x three x seven series in Greenville, South Carolina.
(04:29):
More BMW's made there than any place in the world.
And if we make a car in Greenville, South Carolina
sell it to Europe, it's a ten percent tariff. If
they make a car in Munich and sell it to
the United States, it's two and a half. That's not fair.
So we're gonna wipe all that stuff out. We're gonna
have fair trade deals. We're gonna have reciprocal tariffs, hopefully
when make them low, not high. And we're going to
(04:52):
engage the world on trade. And we're gonna do with
China to stop being ripped off. Why aren't they buying
the bullings? You know, that's a good will gesture for
coming to Trump.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Just be patient.
Speaker 8 (05:02):
It takes a while to fix sixty years of trade abuse.
And I've got his back, so keep doing it.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
No, you have from the beginning, I don't want ever
another Iraq and America embroiled in a foreign conflict that
it is no business being involved in. However, when when
you couple an ideology and they stay publicly death to Israel,
death to America, and they believe in a caliphate, and
(05:31):
that is this is a theocracy, and that is convert
to Islam or die. They are the number one state
sponsor of terror. We've been watching that unfold now for
a very long time, especially since they got a lot
of money when Biden became president. They are according to
published reports, and we talked to Aaron Cone, who's you know,
former Intel opera. You know that that's his business. Is
(05:54):
rarely trained Special Office intelligence veteran, and it's the breakout
time and publicly, and you would know better than me
because you have access to information. I don't is anywhere
between three and three months and a year. And I
just think that the world cannot risk a nuclear armed Iran.
The President has stated that is his belief. What is
(06:15):
your belief?
Speaker 8 (06:17):
Yeah, I mean, if you want to do, the most
destabilizing event in the world would be give the Io
and the Frenchman a nuclear weapon one they would use it.
They would use it against Israel. They say that, they
mean it. The Arabs would want their own nuclear weapon
to counter the Iranians, and you'd have a nuclear arms
race in the Mid East. It'd be a disaster. But
(06:37):
let's unpack what you just said. President Trump is going
to the Mid East. The hottest economies in the world
are in the Mid East. Saudi Arabia, the United airb
memorates guitar. These places are the twenty third century, you know,
the NBS. The Crown Prince is fundamentally changing Saudi Arabia
in all the good ways. So we're going forward. The
action is and they love Trump. They love Trump because
(06:59):
he stands up to Ron. He's a good ally, he's
a good friend. And I predict that Abraham Accords will
grow on Trump's watch. And we're going to go back
to the table and see if we get sorry Abe
Dick recognized Israel. I think that can happen. Once the
Palestinian issue, the war Wine's down so that's why he's
going and he will be a welcomed enthusiastically there. As
(07:22):
to Iran, Senator Cotton, Tom Cotton and I introduced a
resolution today saying the only acceptable outcome is dismantling the
iranium enrichment program. They have enough enriched uranium to make
six bombs within a month or two. They're at sixty percent.
To get to ninety percent, which is weapons great is
about a month, and President Trump is going to call
(07:46):
the question on a run. He's going to offer them
Savia nuclear power, which we can do safely, if they'll
dismantle their enrichment program, which is pathway to bomb. We're
going to put them on the clock. If they don't
take that deal, all bets are off. But we cannot
allow Ron to get a new Israel is not going
(08:06):
to allow that. This is the eightieth anniversary to end.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
President Trump said he's not going to allow it to happen,
and and when asked if it would be a joint
military effort with Israel, he said no, we will lead it,
meaning he he would lead it.
Speaker 8 (08:19):
He said that, so let's pray that there's no war,
but let's also understand that the only thing worse than
war sometimes is having evil people dominate your life. And
Israel one Holocaust is enough. Eighty years ago. Today we're
celebrating the end of the war in Europe. We defeated
the Nazis. What did the Nazis do? They tried to
(08:40):
kill Elvogen's The Jewish people founded their state in nineteen
forty eight. The biggest threat to the Jewish people and
the founding of Israel since the founding of Israel is
around with a new grow weapon. We're not gonna let
that happen again. We've got Israel's back. No better friend
of Israel than Donald Trump. If we can't get a
diplomatic solution to this problem, which is complete dismantling of
(09:01):
the enrichment capability of Baron, I would expect Israel would
have to act, and I hope we will act with them.
I hope we'll lead the way at least join in.
This is the most decisive time in the Mideast, really
since the founding Visrael. And I'm glad Trump is president.
You don't know how glad I am he is president
during these crucial days.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Maybe the most successful thing that you have done. And
you pointed out rightly so that there's only been what
four times in one hundred years where Republicans have had
control of the House, the Senate, and the White House,
and this is a historic opportunity. We are still living
under the Biden Harris economy, and in spite of that,
(09:44):
the President's been able to get eight trillion dollars in
manufacturing commitments from and by the way, including one point
five trillion dollars from the UAE one trillion dollars from
Saudi Arabia, hence the importance of that region. For other reasons,
they're investing in America, which is fascinating to me. And
(10:05):
you know when you when you as budget chairman, you
know you get to decide without going through the centate parliamentarian.
That might have been the most understated but important things
you've ever done as a US senator because that allows
us to buy go through the reconciliation process bypass the
parliamentarian because you made that decision unilaterally, and that that
(10:30):
ensures the possibility of this success of this one big,
beautiful bill that everybody's working on, which is going to
have profound implication.
Speaker 8 (10:37):
No, yeah, I think well so I as budget chairman,
I said, it's my decision to determined whether or not
the tax cuts expire. So I made a decision no
chairman has ever made before. I'm going to make the
task cut permanent using current policy, seeming may never go away.
So what do we need to do in reconciliation? Trump's
(10:58):
going all over the world, he's getting investment in America. Well,
what else can we do? Make those tax cuts expire
in December, permanent the R and D credit, the expensing credit,
the child task credits that average Americans need, make them permanent.
Cut spending. Do you know if we cut two trillion
dollars and spending over a ten year period, that's two percent.
(11:20):
So we should be at least able to do that,
if not more, raise the debt selling make the tax
cuts permanent. If we don't do that, we will hurt
the economy. If we do that, it will the economy
will soar. And I'm confident Republicans are not going to fail.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Well, I'm confident they're not going to fail. That we
really can't fail. I mean, this is too important. And
as long as you know, House Republicans and I know
everybody's not going to get everything that they want However,
this will go a long way to secure in the border.
This will go a long way to helping us achieve
the president's goal of energy dominance, which is going to
(11:59):
be great for the country, as will help national security
and funder Defense Department and the next generation of weaponry.
It'll help shore up social security and medicare. And I
think all the pieces are in place, especially with the
eight trillion committed an investment in this country. All the
pieces are in place for tremendous economic growth and prosperity
(12:23):
in my humble opinion.
Speaker 8 (12:25):
Oh, you're right, and we just need to back up
President Trump here. So the point is, reconciliation allows us
to make the tax cuts perment couse decision I made
without one Democratic vote. This is the process they use
to pass Obamacare and inflation, your Redutch net. We use
this in twenty seventeen. So we have a chance to
have one hundred and seventy five billion dollars for the border,
(12:48):
more bed space, more ice agents, finish the wall without
one Democratic vote, one hundred and fifty billion dollars of
new money for the defense, without being held hostage by
the Democrats. We have a chance to make the tax
without one Democratic vote. All the way we're going to
do these things is do it through reconciliation. Because Democrats
are not going to help you build the wall, they're
(13:08):
not going to help you deport illegal immigrants, They're not
going to make the task cuts permanent. So to all
those who are listening to Sean's show, get on the
phone and make sure we don't fail.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
I quick break more with South Carolina Senator Lindsay Graham,
and then your calls on the other side. Eight hundred
and nine to four one, Seawn as we continue. All right,
we continue now with South Carolina Senator Lindsay Graham. Let
me go to Russia and ask you. Obviously, the minerals
deal with the Ukraine was huge, but the person that's
been dragging his feet is Vladimir Putin, And as we speak,
(13:43):
Chinese Dictator Chi has extended this private meeting and press
event alongside Vladimir In which he declared that China and
Russia were ready to safeguard the global multilateral trading system,
presumably from Donald Trump, your reaction to them, and Putin's
(14:04):
reluctance to end this war.
Speaker 8 (14:07):
Well number one to trade the minerals deal with Ukraine
is huge. Ukraine has multiple treats of dollars of critical minerals,
digital economy. We will get the benefit of those minerals,
not Russia, not China. So that's a big frigging deal.
It helps the future of the American economy, gives us
(14:27):
a new relationship with Ukraine. We don't need to get
many more money. They got plenty of opportunity to buy
weapons from US and to be a good partner. As
to Russia, Trump wants a good deal. He wants to
end this war, and he wants to do it fairly
and not start another war. Putin is misjudging Trump and
(14:49):
play Trump at your own peril. Stay tuned. I'm planning
off with the President Trump this weekend. He's just about
had it with Russia because.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
He believed play golf for them all the time. Is
he good? I played with him in his first term, but.
Speaker 8 (15:08):
Hundreds of rounds of god, he's one of the best
amateur golfers I've ever played with. Period.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Uh all right, Wow, that's that's saying a lot. Now
you are you any good? Well, let me go back
to Russia because we're on an out of time. Do
you believe that that president that Putin will make well,
well we'll get there. In other words, that yeah, because
I don't I don't think he's getting any more than
(15:36):
what's currently on the table. And by the way, I
can't stand the Left is saying, you know, Biden saying, well,
we've given him everything. No crimea happened on your watch,
The invasion happened on your watch, the war happened on
your watch, and he's cleaning up. You know you're Adam
schiffhol that you left behind.
Speaker 8 (15:55):
Well, let me put it this way, real simple. If
I were going to call a group of people to
get it by how to deal with Putin, they would
be the last people I call Putin rate them. Basically,
everything that's going on in the world is a result
of weakness. From the lift getting out of Afghanistan led
the Pootin inventing Ukraine. You've got China just kicking us
(16:16):
around all over Asia. You got a rhyme trying to
break out for a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 9 (16:20):
Those days are you know what?
Speaker 1 (16:22):
It would be nice to have a more peaceful world,
wouldn't it, and one focused on prosperity and opportunity and
wealth for all. Lindsey Graham Senator, thank you. Eight hundred

the President made this announcement, we played it earlier in
the program today, well let me play it again. When
he announces this trade deal with the United Kingdom, I
said this would happen deal after deal after deal. Here's
what he said this morning.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
I'm thrilled to announce that we've reached a breakthrough trade
deal with the United Kingdom, credible country. Today is a
victory day for World War Two. We won the war
together exactly eighty years ago, so there could be no
more perfect morning to reach this historic agreement.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
And it's beautiful weather out.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
I will tell you that gear beautiful weather, so perfect outside,
But it's really in particular the agreement with one of
our closest and most cherished allies, and we're.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
So happy that that's the way it worked out.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
I want to thank Prime Minister Starmer and his very
talented team for the outstanding work and partnership. Today's agreement
with the UK is the first and a series of
agreements on trade that my administration has been negotiating over.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
The past four weeks.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
With this deal, the UK joins the United States and
affirming that reciprocity and fairness is an essential and vital
principle of international trade.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
And my prediction is is there going to be many
deals in the future. Here's some of the details of
this trade deal, the first of what will be many
with the United Kingdom. Either way, considering that this day
eighty years ago today the end of World War Two,
I think it probably was most appropriate. And here's some
of the details.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
The deal includes billions of dollars of increased market access
for American exports, especially in agriculture, dramatically increasing access for
American beef, ethanol, and virtually all of the products produced
by our great farmers. In addition, the UK will reduce
or eliminate numerous non tariff barriers that unfairly discriminated against
(20:33):
American products. But this is now turning out, I think,
really to be a great deal for both countries. They'll
also be fast tracking American goods through their customs process,
so our exports go to a very very quick form
of approval and there won't be any red tape. Things
are going to move very quickly both ways. The final
(20:53):
details of being written up in the coming weeks will
have it all very conclusive, but the actual deal is
a very inclusive one. We think just about everything's been approved.
We'll also receive new market access to American chemicals, machinery,
and many other industrial products that weren't allowed.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Furthermore, in a historic.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
Step, the deal includes plans that will bring the United
Kingdom into the economic security alignment with the United States.
That's the first of its kind, so we have a
big economic security blanket.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
And also the President did touch on trade negotiations with China.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
If the talks go well this weekend between Sanitary, Bassett
Ambassador Career with their.
Speaker 8 (21:35):
Chinese counterparts, not preemptively, but if the talks go well,
would you then consider lowering the territory on China.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Well, it could be. I mean, we're going to see
it right now. You can't get any higher. IT'SAID one
hundred and forty five, so we know it's coming down.
I think we're going to have a very good relationship.
You know, I always got along very well with Presidency.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
That relationship was greatly disturbed by COVID when COVID came in.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
But we get along very well now.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
I mean we had a I mean, the relationship was
hurt with a lot of people, a lot of countries
when COVID came in. But I think we're gonna have
a very good relationship. I expect to have a very
good relationship with China.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Scott.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
I think it's a very friendly meeting. They look forward
to doing.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
It in an elegant way.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
China, as you know, has a tremendous trade surplus with.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
US, and we can't you know, we just can't have that.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
And but I think it's gonna I think it's gonna
be very good for both countries.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
I would like to see China opened.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
But now I think that we're gonna have a I
think we're gonna have a good weekend with China.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
I think they have a lot to gain. I do
think they have far more to gain than we do
in a sense.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
But uh, we're gonna have a good I think we're
gonna have a very very good weekend.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
I hope we do have a good relationship. Who wants
a bad really? Who wants war? Who wants who wants
you know, okay, this is like mutually assured destruction. They
need access to our markets, we need their rare earth minerals.
And then better if you get along, you know, it's
better for Ukraine and foodin and you know, maybe stop
shelling each other and start making money and prospering and
doing deals together. All right, let's get to our busy phones.
(23:09):
Let's say hi to Rob and Oklahoma. Rob, how are
you glad you called?
Speaker 3 (23:13):
Good morning?
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Sir, morning, sir, it's afternoon, but whatever, who's counting.
Speaker 10 (23:19):
I wanted to focus on this new pope I hold
as a cradle Catholic. I hold great hope for him
to be a.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Guy who takes care of his business.
Speaker 11 (23:33):
In other words, he needs to focus on my soul
and on the Bible, not on politics. Sergeant Alvin Yorke,
who I know, you know, found this verse of Mark
twelve seventeen.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
It says, render under Caesar.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
What is Caesar's?
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Render?
Speaker 11 (23:47):
Under God?
Speaker 2 (23:48):
What is God's?
Speaker 4 (23:49):
And I have great hope that our new American pope
will do that very thing and focus on the words
of the Bible and not on a politics, not waiy
in nonsensically in politics.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Look, I have great hope for this pope, I really do.
And I hope that he can he can revitalize I
mean human beings, a mind, body, and spirit. I hope
he can revitalize the spirit of mankind in ways that
you know, really only God can and remind us that
(24:26):
you know that we're all His children, et cetera. We're
talking about the first American pope. His name is Robert Prevost.
He has taken on the name Pope Leo the fourteenth.
Donald Trump released a statement congratulating him. Look being raised
Catholic for me and I consider myself a Christian now
(24:46):
non denominational over Catholic. I have some issues with the
church handling of the corruption issues, et cetera. That bothered me.
I still think the Mass is quite beautiful and and
the history of the churches. I don't know why they
changed what was their original policy about priests being married
for the first eleven twelve hundred years of the church
they allowed that. I think that greatly diminished the ability
(25:10):
to attract good people into that service. My view, I'm
not being critical here, especially on what is this very
special day for all my friends that are Catholic. With
that said, it gave me a foundational spiritual belief in God,
in Christ, etc. That I rely on every day of
(25:31):
my life. And yes, sir, that's why I've been working
hard on Linda, who's you know, a little bit of
backsliding going on with the hate list. I'm trying to
work on.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
Her, but she's focusing too.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
She knows what she knows, what's right now she's put
I think half the time she's pushing my buttons if
you want to know the truth. Well, anyway, listen, great
prayers for him, an American born cardinal graduated from Villanova,
now elected pope, and our prayers who were with him
and every Catholic as they celebrate this big day for them.
(26:06):
Thank you, my friend. Eight hundred ninety four one. Shawn
is a number if you want to be a part
of the program. Grant in Alabama? What's up, Grant? How
are you roll tied? Glad you called?
Speaker 8 (26:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (26:16):
Thank you for having me. Sean, Oh, you know.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Who I'm recently. I never met him before. Nick Saban.
Speaker 9 (26:22):
Oh, hey, that man is a He is a saint
in his own right. I know the pope was just selected.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
H and Alabama football. Alabama Football's are religion. I learned
that firsthand. I had no idea. I was not a
big college sports fan as I am now, but at
the time, because where I grew up, it was all
professional sports, and uh, you know, how many except for
Saint John's basketball, how many you know there are no
(26:48):
major New York you know football teams. Everything is focused
on the Yankees and the Mets and the Rangers and
the Knicks and the Nets and et cetera. Not so
much on college sports is weird and you go south
every you know, everything Southern every is college it is.
Speaker 9 (27:07):
It is absolutely a religion down here. So I was
showing what I wanted to talk to you about. I'm
a first time voter. My first election was in November,
which is kind of exciting, and uh, you know, I've
cast my vote for Donald Trump, and I wonder. I
mean a lot of people have asked me why I
did that. A lot of people around me not in
(27:28):
like a you know, a hostile way, but I think
it all comes down to common sense and bringing common
politics back into the United States of America. I can't
sit here and rationalize in front of a ballot that
that the murder of children is healthcare, or that boys
can be girls and girls can be boys. And that's
(27:49):
really what it came down to in this election, and
this being my first election, those issues were the ones
that were important to me, and that's why I voted
the way that I did.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Well. Look, I think that everybody's got to follow their
own and who they vote for. And the one thing
I will say is I like to vote for common sense.
I'm not a I believe conservatism is common sense. Limited
government is common sense. Eliminating waste, fraud and abuse common sense.
Vetting people to come into our countries common sense. Living
(28:17):
within your means is common sense. Having a strong military,
knowing evil exists in this world is common sense. And
you know, I like to consider myself a common sense person.
Speaker 9 (28:29):
Oh absolutely, and I wouldn't even you know when people
ask me, I mean, I voted Republican, obviously, but when
people say, oh, are you right wing? Well today, if
you're right wing, that just means that you support the
rule of lobbying uphill, you support the police, you support
kids getting to go to the schools that their parents
(28:50):
have chosen. And if those things are all true for me,
which they are, then I suppose that I am right wing.
But the bottom line is that it comes down to
common sense and common thinking, and that that's what I'm
believe in. And then that is why I had to
go for Donald coup in.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
This common sense to me is God given, except common
sense is not so common I mean, think of it
that way.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
You're right about that?
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Yeah, all right, my friend, all the best to our
friends in Alabama. All right, back to our phones. Let's
say hi to Peter South Carolina, Peter, Hi, how are
you glad you called?
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Sar? Good afternoon, Sean. I got to tell you I
am calling you from my Pure Talk phone, okay, And
what a great company.
Speaker 8 (29:33):
First of all, by the.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Way, and you get the same service. And are you
saving over one thousand a year for the same service.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
God, I'm saving a lot of money talking to you
on my brand new iPhone to Pure Talk. And you
know I'm not gonna I'll stop right there, but I
just want to let you know that what a great company,
and what I wanted to touch on.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
I put you.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
I put you on a pedestal along with I grew
up in the Paul Harvey era, all right, So I
put you on a pedestal with Paul Harvey and Rushler.
God bless and God bless their souls. I've been listening
to you for years and years, okay. But what you
know what disserves me is now that I'm retired since
(30:17):
twenty eighteen, I still have to pay in I still
have to pay taxes on Social Security and Medicare and Medicare.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
That's going away as soon as that Reconciliation bill is done.
No tax on tips, no tax on Social security, No
tax on overtime. That's that is all, that's not even
in question. That will be part of that bill.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Yeah, because I'm on you know, now that I'm retired,
I'm obviously a fixed budget, and I am so looking
forward to what the President has presented and and and
what what is going to be pushed through. And I'm
I'm actually excited about about it because people, you know,
(31:03):
blue collar workers like me. You know, I've paid in,
believe it or not, I've downloaded from a Social Security administration.
I've paid in over four hundred and fifty thousand dollars
in Medicare, Medicaid and.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
In taxes.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
And I'd like to see a little a little of
that coming back.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
So let me tell you something. We've made a vow,
a promise for our seniors, and I'm telling you right
now that we've got to keep that vow. That's all
there is to it. And we have to keep that
promise and we will. And by cutting waste for aud abuse,
we can you know, these these programs that are headed
towards insolvency because of their incompetence, mismanagement, and frankly outright theft.
(31:51):
We've got to make up that difference, and then we
got to stop Robin from our kids and grandkids. We
owe it to them to leave this country better than
we found it. You're a great American, sir, godlus you.
I hope you enjoy your retirement. You certainly sound like
you're earned it. Eight hundred and ninety four one. Sean,
