Speaker 1 (00:21):
Hello, my fellow Americans, and good day to our friends
around the world. This is a political talk show here
on WRMN. That's WRMN fourteen ten and WRMN fourteen ten
dot com.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
The fourteen ten is.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
The AM dial. In case you're one of those cool
cats that still have one of those rocket in your
house or in your car, why don't you go ahead
and leave us alike on the AM dial. But that's craziness,
that's nonsense. You like it by presetting us. If you
like what you're hearing right now, you like what you're
hearing later, you like what you heard earlier today, you
(00:58):
will like something here on WRM. And so why not
just hold down that number one and put us on
your favorite preset right there?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
We could be number two as well. That's okay.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
If you want to put us on the preset number two,
I'll take that one as well, but somewhere in.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
The top five, please please.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
WRMN has been broadcast in the seventy five years. It's amazing.
I haven't been here that amount of time, but I've
been here for a little bit and I like it.
So welcome to a political talk show. My name is
Dennis Sonar Green. I'll be walking you through the next
two hours. I will have my friend Bendemonium Boquest here
(01:37):
on the second hour where we will break down some
of these headlines, and because he's in studio, we'll be
able to open up those phone lines as well. You
can also hop in on YouTube YouTube dot com. You
can find us at wr IN Radio on there, leave
us alike and subscribe. There's about sixty percent of you
that watch quite regularly that don't hit that subscribe button.
(01:59):
I see you there.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I get to look at the numbers.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Whyn't you just reach up and hit that like and
subscribe over there, like the video, subscribe to the channel.
You'll get notifications when we go live, or if you
don't want to be bombarded with the like one or
two notifications we send out a day, then go ahead
and turn off the bell. That's okay. We are live
(02:23):
most of the time on YouTube and you can find
us right there. Just like you tune into your AM dial,
you hop in on YouTube on that channel and you
get to see us, Hey, how are you. You'll get
to see Sue Castle and Marky B. So Susie C
and Marky B on the air on Monday morning, the
(02:44):
WRMN Morning show will be there all the first shifters
calling in and being a part of the show. There,
Thank you again for being here on this show. This
is the political show, or a political show really, but
the political show that you're not really gonna get kicked
out of here because you are from a different team
(03:05):
where you've got a different belief in the market of ideas,
we need more shopkeepers, We need more people to feel
like they can express something because for me, there is
no quicker way to find this, to find the answer
or find the truth is than for me to say
(03:28):
a lie on the internet. You'll get six or seven
people that are and correct you for it. But I
welcome that. I welcome corrections. I welcome your opinions. That's
what we do around here. That's how we can have
this discourse. Imagine the founding fathers didn't listen to each
other at all. Like Benjamin Franklin says, well, I'm not
going over there. That's got that that that Thomas Thomas
(03:50):
Jefferson fellow over there, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson didn't
really like each other so much. That's why the Democratic
Republicans split into that side. So maybe we all pull
together and maybe we pull up the Democratic Republicans again.
I think we can all agree on some Jeffersonian democracy.
(04:11):
We don't necessarily have to follow everything that the gentleman did.
I mean, he did own six hundred plus slaves, only
released the ten that were in his family, honestly. So yes,
we can't take all of our idols and say everything.
There's only one person for that. There was Jesus, maybe Gandhi,
(04:33):
but mother Teresa. Okay, okay, okay. Maybe there's a few
other examples that are out there. But today we are
going to break down, like we had said, we are
going to talk about the reconciliation and the reconciliation bill
that was passed by the House. Some people have called
(04:54):
it one big, beautiful bill, and that's what they asked for,
so that's what they kind of put together for it.
So that's what we're going to talk about today, is
that big bill. And that big bill has some cuts,
it has some additions to things.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
If we've got more.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Time in the hour, we will actually kind of go
the I like the how did we get.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Here type of type of side to things.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
It's one thing to fix a problem, talk about a problem,
but you have to kind of know how you got
there so that you don't stumble into it again when
you start walking down that path again and you go, oh,
wait a minute, this feels familiar. What's at the end
of this. I don't think it was cake and ice cream.
I think it was a giant fifty trillion dollar deficit.
(05:43):
Now it's not that that high now, but I haven't
read you the bill, So this is an outline. The
bill that's here is an outline. This is House Reconciliation
Bill number fourteen. If you want to look for it.
If you're looking for the link to I will have
it on my substack later on after the show is
(06:05):
posted on the podcast. Yeah, that's right. The show's posted
on the podcast. And if you're interested in podcast, somebody
knows something which is brought to you by the Elgin
Police Department is exploding. Jump in to see where thousands
of people have already listened to those episodes.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
You guessed it.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
It's on your favorite podcasting platform a political talk shows
there too, but I recommend listening to that one.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
That one's way more entertaining.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Than you know, guy going through budget and reconciliation.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Over here yesterday we talked about hyperbole.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
I will try to refrain any erroneous hyperbole and only
give you the hyperbole that we all know and love, like.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I'm so hungry, I could eat a horse.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Drinking like a fish, or you know, metaphors are hyperbole, etcetera, etcetera.
So thanks for being here. I really appreciate it. So
let's get into it for here. So in the budget reconciliation,
it's an outline. It's not a end all, be all.
This is the way we're we're going to do it.
(07:15):
This is the details. No, no, no, there are no details.
In fact, it is so vague. In the first forty pages,
it's all just a list of numbers, line item A,
line item B as.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
It goes through.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
When you start to get maybe into page forty two
forty three of the thing, and trust me, do not
read the first forty some pages. Now you might want
to read the intro and just kind of go from there,
but the first forty some pages are literally just line
item type of budget reconciliation side saying Okay, we spent
(07:51):
this much on this time, and now we spent this
much on that time. And it's kind of like the
actual reconciliation part of it, and then at about page
forty they start tacking on exactly what their plan is.
And this is more of an outline than it is
from than it is an actual tax bill. You'll notice
(08:14):
when you do peruse it, I recommend doing it. You
might as well. They had to read it. They're the
ones that are voting for it. If you would like
to hold them to account, you should read it too.
But let me at least give you the overview for it.
That way you can still hop around the water cooler
and still have at least some sort of knowledge on it.
(08:34):
So in the bill itself, there is no cuts to
Medicare or no specific cuts to Medicare. There is a
giant dip that's in there, but there is no specific
we want to slice up Medicare because that's political suicide.
It is it just is. It's the what do they
call it? The political third rail? Are the entitlement programs,
(08:58):
especially the entitlement programs for the elderly and the people
who have medical issues that the government is really helping with.
Medicaid does help a lot for nursing homes as well,
and Medicaid forty percent of the people on Medicaid are children.
So we did that, I think monetary Monday, we talked
(09:21):
about entitlements.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
It's still on that podcast.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
That's the beauty of podcasting is I don't have to say, hey,
go back to the YouTube channel, which you can. You
can go back to the YouTube channel watch the video
from there, but you can go directly to the podcast
and go what was that time.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
He did it.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
The best part is if you use spreaker to find
that podcast, the transcript is actually there. So with the transcript,
you'll be able to pruise through the entire hour and
not necessarily get lost scrubbing back and forth for everything
if you're more of a reader versus an audiobook type
(09:58):
of person. But what this is an outline for the committees.
So since it is one giant bill, what they did
is they passed it as an outline and said these
are our goals. Hey, committees, take this number and go
(10:20):
deliberate on these numbers. If they can't hit the numbers,
whether it's the increase, the decrease, the left, the right,
or whatever else, they can't they can't fit this number here,
then they have put in a few clauses that they
will lower other numbers to kind of make up for it.
So we're gonna hit a quick break here before we
(10:44):
get into it. But I just wanted to give you
kind of the overview of what this is. This is
not a tax bill, this is not a necessarily a
full budget bill. This is a this is what the
President and the Congress want, so committees go do it.
(11:05):
We're literally watching the levers of government in the gears
of government turn. It is slow. I agree with you,
it's slow. It's not very fast, But I mean here
we are in here, we are in like the fourth
fifth week of actually having a new president, and I
(11:28):
mean that's pretty quick to get a bill out of there,
especially with a plan that's here. It passed at two
seventeen to two fifteen, So it passed by one vote, right,
because that one vote wouldn't move over to the other
side and it'd be two fifteen to fifteen math. So
(11:49):
when we come back, we're going to talk about the
different committees, the Committee of Agriculture, the Committee of Armed Services, Education,
Energy and Commerce, Financial Services, all of these different committees
and now their new budgetary goals. Will talk about the
committees and what they actually serve and fall under and
(12:13):
maybe where these cuts are going to be. But again,
nowhere in this bill does it say a direct cut
to Medicaid. Now does it tell the committee that runs
Medicaid to say, hey, find some money to cut. Yes,
it absolutely does say that, but it does not say
specifically cut these programs, just like it doesn't say specifically
(12:36):
to cut taxes on social security and tips and all
of the other things. It's not saying that those things
cannot happen. They left that door open. But this bill
does not have those specifics in it. So anybody who
tells you that it is are lying, right, I'll help
(12:58):
you point out the liars right now. Anybody who says
that in the bill it has tax exemption for tips
and solid security and anything else doesn't have it. It
also does not have the direct cuts to Medicare. So
you got both sides of the aisle lying about this
(13:18):
particular bill, and we will help you break it down
right after this.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
Welcome back to a political talk show on WRMNWRMN fourteen
ten am, and of course the amazing, beautiful fast website
in the entire world WRMN fourteen ten dot com. Thank
you very much for being here, Thanks for engaging right
even with your own brain right now in your car
(17:00):
or listening on the smart speaker or watching on YouTube.
Really appreciate the engagement of your mind right there.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
That's the WRMN fourteen ten website. M m mmm, so
tasty right there. Go ahead and check that out.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
But we appreciate you being here, appreciate you being a
part of it. And like I said yesterday, don't just here.
Let's listen. Let's kind of get that internalization for the things.
Don't take my opinions and internalize them. Take my opinions,
take the facts that I'm giving you, and then maul
them around in your own brain and then decide what
(17:39):
you'd like to do. There's nothing I don't like. I
guess there's a couple of things I've got pet peeves on,
but the biggest one for me is somebody who has
somebody else's opinion, right, the for I get this a
lot for the maybe the pineapple on pizza crowd, right,
the people that have never tried it before, never done anything,
They just heard all of the bad stuff it's out there,
(18:01):
or I don't know the other side of it of
I also think that Metallica's overrated. Now there's a lot
of people that will fight me on that, so I
say that in the confines of my own studio. But
that's part of the opinions. Make an opinion, Try a thing, researcher,
look at it. Don't just turn around and say, oh,
(18:22):
the pineapple on pizzas gross.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
And Metallica's the best rock ever.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Like, get an opinion, get one, don't get don't go
to the shelf, don't go to the news article, don't
get your own opinion. Now you can start your own
opinion with somebody else's. That's a good stepping stool. Read
six or seven other opinions and see where you land.
That's what we try to do here at a political
(18:46):
talk show is I want to make sure that you
have the foundation of the facts and things, so that
when you do go out into the world and listen
to the other media, or hear the other talking heads,
or listen to the other pundits, or or read an article,
or or hear somebody say something at work, you are
able to back up your opinions, not necessarily fact check somebody,
(19:10):
not necessarily well, well, actually, well you're right. You don't
you don't want to need to, you don't need to
do all that, but have a strong opinion for yourself.
You wouldn't have a strong opinion about movies if you
didn't watch the movie, right, Why would you ask somebody
uh at the library about this particular book if they've
never read it before. Now they may turn around and say,
(19:34):
like the librarian may turn around and say, hey, I
read something about this thing, or I read maybe whether
the spark notes or something like that.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
For so they may be a bit more informed on
that side.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
But inform yourself, get a little bit of that uh,
that responsibility back, you know, to let somebody just feed you. Here,
here's the fact for you, tasty. Oh you got you
spit up a little fact on your on your in there.
Come on, you're an adult. Unless you're not an adult,
you will be one day. So we're going to talk
(20:07):
a little bit about the committee here in the next
last four minutes we got in this this segment, and
then we'll jump into more of those committees for it,
because we're breaking down the budget bill, the Budget Reconciliation Bill,
House Bill fourteen. If you follow the sub stack, I'll
have a link that's on there too with our notes
for this. But the first one right off the bat
(20:30):
is the Committee on Agriculture that is going down by
two one hundred and thirty billion dollars. That's their goal
is to bring that down. Well, what is the jurisdiction
of the Agriculture Committee, Well, it oversees agriculture policy and
the food assistance programs and rule development and forestry, so
all of those things.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Are part of the agricultural side.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
The two hundred and thirty billion dollars is going to
come out of somewhere. So that could be the reduction
in farm subsidies. That'll cut the financial assistance provided to farmers.
They could cut crop insurance programs. That's part of what
they've got for it. They've also got SNAP and food
(21:14):
assistance programs, that's a place that they can possibly tighten
up the eligibility criteria and say only these people can
have it, or we're going to raise the income limit
or whatever you've got for that. They've also got the
Rule development funding limitations, and that's a potential impact on
(21:36):
infrastructure and economic support programs in rural areas. You talk
about public drainage, maybe they've got a country road or
a county road that needs to get put together.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
The county will more than likely get a grant or
so from something like that.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Well, Agriculture Committee on Agriculture has to drop according to
this two hundred and thirty billion with a B dollars.
If I had to guess what is probably going to
come out a little.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Bit of everything, it's going to be a little bit
of everything.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Some of the farm subsidies, some of the crop insurance
SNAP program, and that Rule Development. So let's talk about
a boon Committee on Armed Services that is getting one
hundred billion increase. The jurisdiction oversees military funding, Department of
Defense programs, and national security initiatives. So they're actually getting
(22:30):
one hundred billion dollars off of that one with a B.
By the way, billion billion, billion, billion, lots lots of money.
With a billion, if I made what is it, one
hundred thousand dollars a week, it would take me ten
thousand years to make a billion dollars. Yeah, billion is
a big money, and here's one hundred of them, one
(22:51):
hundred billion dollars for it. This will be the increase
in personal personnel spending, so higher salaries and benefits for
the military. We've also got new weapons systems, probably not
the F thirty fives, those are still.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Still not made.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
We've also got the expanded military operations because that's what
we're going to more than likely have to do if
we decide to take over Gaza. And then we also
have infrastructure improvements. That's military bases, housing, training facilities. So
the Committee on Armed Services is getting an extra ten
(23:29):
billion dollars and the Agriculture is losing two hundred and
thirty We'll go into a bunch more of the things
that are in here. The Committee on Education and Workforce
is losing three hundred and thirty billion.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
We'll be right back.

nine two six fourteen ten. Is that text message? That
(30:18):
text line five zero five nine two six fourteen ten.
We also take pictures of pets and goes to take
pictures of pets and grandchildren and really good manicured lawns
and memes and all of the different things that just
kind of come down into the end of the pipe.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
There.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Dutchman's already on YouTube. You can join there as well.
He says, Hi, everyone, Hi, Jeff's Train World. Welcome Jeff's
Train World. I saw you over there on Tammy Show too.
Make sure you hit that like and subscribe as well,
so that way you know every time that we're live
and you get that nice little notification. So we're breaking
down down the bill here from the House now. The
(31:04):
Senator is working on another bill themselves, so like most things,
it's got to kind of pass through all of these
different sides before it even gets up to the President.
And even then with this kind of committee outline and things.
We'll see what it's got to bring into because we're
(31:27):
not really seeing we're not really seeing a lot of details,
and I don't think the details are going to come
up before the March. It's like fifteenth or something deadline,
the IDEs of March, type of doomsday type of thing.
But that's where Speaker Johnson was on CNN just the
(31:54):
other just the other day explaining a lot of this too,
about how they're more than likely not going to get
a lot of this passed until after that March deadline,
because I mean, the Committee for Education and Workforce has
to find three hundred and thirty billion dollars to cut
like that. That doesn't take weeks, despite what you might
(32:15):
see on television right now. And even then, if you
look at the numbers, numbers are now coming out in
the first month's expenses of the United States, and the
expenses this month are one hundred about one hundred billion
dollars more than they were four years ago, even during
(32:35):
the pandemic of the first what thirty days of the
Biden administration, So even during the pandemic, it wasn't this much.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
It could be.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
I'm not going to point at all on Doge's lap.
But for the most part, that organization makes seven million
dollars a week, seven million dollars to run DOGE. How
many weeks of DOGE could pay for forestry salaries. But
we're not here to necessarily go after that part. We're
here to break down what the outline was passed. So
(33:09):
we already talked about Defense, which is the Committee of
Armed Services. This is all House committees. Armed Services is
going to get another one hundred billion dollars, and the
Committee on Agriculture is going to lose two hundred and
thirty So the Committee on Education and Workforce is going
to subtract three hundred and thirty billion dollars. This committee
(33:35):
handles education policy so K through nine, higher education, workforce
development programs, and labor laws.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
So it's not just education. It's not just pell.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Grants and school grants and all of the other things
that are there. This also deals with labor laws. And
with this one, I could see where this three and
thirty billion dollar deficit is within the Trump Plan, the
President Trump Plan.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Sorry, I'm trying to be better at that, so I
still called them Biden, but whatever.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Because we have this push to remove the Department of Education, Well,
where do they get their funding from? So that's where
another push is. They're trying to push education back down
to the state level. And we can talk about the
Article four or the Tenth Amendment, and I might put
something together for that side, but that's that's kind of
(34:38):
where Article four and the Tenth Amendment go if the
federal government doesn't have that specific responsibility. So let's say
the federal government says we're no longer going to be
responsible for education because of Article four and the Tenth Amendment,
it automatically defaults to the state.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
It just does.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
The Tenth Amendment is anything that anything that is at
a specific power of the central government is therefore passed
down to the states. So what does the Committee on
Education and Workforce do well? The budget adjustments could have
reductions in federal student aid programs, possible cuts to pel grants,
(35:20):
federal student loans, and loan forgiveness initiatives. So I don't
think they're going to turn around and turn on loans
that they've already forgiven, but it's going to make it
a lot harder for anybody to have a loan forgiven.
So it could also decrease funding for job training and
(35:43):
workforce programs, fewer resources for vocational training.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
I went to a vocational school.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
I went to an electronics vocational school, and I wouldn't
have been able to learn all of those things if
I didn't have the grants to make sure that that
was available in high school. Also employment services for that
side too. The potential impacts on public school funding is
the reduction of federal assistance for low income school districts.
(36:12):
So we're talking about I think it's title one, if
I had to remember what that one is, is to
move more funding into more impoverished neighborhoods than to keep
it in the affluent. This also will affect school lunch programs.
(36:32):
So if you are interested in having that school lunch
for people, maybe we do find the black Panthers to
take over for that over there, but we knew where
that turned out. So the Committee on Energy and Commerce
is the biggest one. This is absolutely the large Enchilada.
(36:55):
This is where the Democrats are crying the the sky
is falling. It's there, and you know what, I might
sing with them too. It's a good chorus that I
like to round every once in a while. But what's
happening with the Committee on Energy and Commerce. This covers
energy policy, healthcare, and telecommunications regulations. So if we're talking
(37:22):
about fact checkers, boom right here, Energy and Commerce, we're
talking about subsidies for oil executives, boom right here. On
the Energy and Commerce we're talking about medicaid, medical care. Boom,
Energy and Commerce. Where are they going to find eight
(37:44):
hundred and eighty billion dollars? Well, I probably guess that
they're not going to take it from the fuel subsidies
because drill, baby, drill. Even though we are the largest
producer of oil already, we are already number one, Why
do we have to be better than the number one
(38:05):
we are right now? There is no number half, there
is no number zero, there's number one, and we're it.
So they're not going to cut the subsidies for it.
Trust me, you know the game.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
I know the game. It's why should we pretend that
it doesn't going to happen oh soon? Or you don't
know that We all know that they have it.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
We all know that the oil, that the healthcare, that
the everything else that's there because Medicaid and Medicare that's
in here, can't haggle prices.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
It's against the law for it.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
And if we start cutting lawyers out of the Energy
and Commerce division, they're not going to fight to get
it done. So what we could see, even though everybody's
saying we won't, I will tell you that we will.
They'll tell you. They'll tell you all day. No, we're
not going to touch the thing. We're not going to
do the stuff. They're going to do the stuff. They're
going to touch the thing, they're going to cut it.
(39:05):
It's gonna happen. You do not get eight hundred and
eighty billion dollars out of something without cutting. The way
that they're going to guise it, though, is that there's
a bunch of fraud. It's all out there. There's there's
illegal people that are getting all of these different things.
They're just an executive order just the other day of
(39:28):
how illegal immigrants can't get solid security. They can't.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
I don't. They don't have solid security numbers. That's just.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
It may be something different than solid security that illegal
immigrants might be getting. But this is absolutely that that
straw man type of thing of like, wha, look how
bad it is we need to cut eight hundred and
eighty billion dollars from Medicaid. So that's where the healthcare
cuts may end up being. They'll tell you all day.
(40:04):
They're gonna tell you. They're gonna say it, They're gonna
do whatever, just like they said the tax cuts weren't
for the wealthy, just like they said they were going
to fix the economy, just like they said they were Look,
they say a lot of things to keep their job.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
The number one thing in politics is survival.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
If you are already the thing, you are already the incumbent,
there are hundreds of people behind you that are trying
to take that job. It's just it's survival. So I
will tell you all day, I'm not going to do
the thing. I'm not going to do the thing.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
I may be walking towards doing the thing.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
I may have like opened up the door to go
do the thing. I maybe like three or four steps
away from doing the thing, but I'm not doing it.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
I'm not doing it. I'm not there. I haven't touched
you yet. And then they do and go, well, you
know what, it was justified. I don't know why you're
so upset.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
Energy subsidies, the decrease of government support for renewable energy projects.
That's probably what's going to get pulled. It won't be
the fossil fuels. It will be they will move from
solar and things and move to clean coal. I don't
know if you've ever seen coal or touched coal before,
(41:15):
but I would like somebody to explain how it's clean.
Cuts to environmental regulations will also come in for energy
and commerce, reducing funding for climate initiatives and pollution control measures,
the carbon capture initiatives that we've been putting together, or
any of the other subsidies for that. They will also
(41:36):
change the telecom policies, possible deregulation of broadband services. So
while your internet is a little bit cheaper, or if
you're in one of those rural areas that just doesn't
get a lot of internet or have that access that's
in the Inflation Reduction Act, in a couple other places
(41:57):
that they're still working on, you.
Speaker 2 (42:01):
May have to end up paying more. Do you imagine because.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
You're all the way out in nowhere land in the
middle of the cornfield, that you now will have to
pay hundreds of dollars for your internet, Yes, because they're
delivering it to you. It's unregulated. Deregulation isn't always the best.
Some regulation, not over regulation is better, but you still
(42:25):
have to have rules. Nobody turns around and says, man,
I wish I could bounce the or dribble the basketball
in the stands and then go for the shot.
Speaker 2 (42:38):
That would be a lot better. Yeah, there's rules, there's regulations.
Speaker 1 (42:43):
Yeah, I'm sure I can make a three point shot
if the three point shot was actually a layup instead.
Speaker 2 (42:48):
And I just called it a three point shot if
there's no rules.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
So the other side we're going to look at two
is the Committee on Financial Services. This is only one
billion dollars that comes down this overseas banking, securities, insurance, housing,
and you guessed it, consumer protection. So cuts to financial
regulation enforcement. This will reduce the oversight in the banking
(43:14):
and investment practices, not like we're having banks here and
there fail or if maybe there is another run on
a bank.
Speaker 2 (43:24):
Yeah no, let's just get rid of those regulations.
Speaker 1 (43:28):
Decreased funding for mortgage assistance programs, the possible impact on
affordable housing and homeowner home ownership. You've got that first
time home buyer's loan as well. That comes out super
secret is if you wait three years, you're a first
time home buyer again, so maybe they close that loop.
(43:49):
That might save the extra billion dollars by one time.
That's it, first time home buyer done, don't buy two, three,
eight more. Off of that same first time home buyer side.
We will also probably see, and we've started to see,
the lowering of the funding of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
(44:12):
That's the bureau that keeps the banks and the federal
government from taking all your Money's the that's the one
that said, hey, maybe we should only do a five
dollars one time overdraft fee for people that literally have
no money.
Speaker 2 (44:29):
They don't have any money. You took more money. They
have negative money, and you wanted to take more they
don't have it.
Speaker 7 (44:39):
It just.
Speaker 1 (44:41):
To me it's that type of predatory type of thing.
Is it gets you into a hole where now you
are in debt forever. We've also got the Committee on
Homeland Security. We're going to get ninety billion dollar increase
on that one. This manages domestic security, disaster relief, and
immigration enforcement. They are planning in at least the rumor
(45:05):
mill of whatever they were talking about as far as
the czar, the border hose a hoser, something like I
can't remember his name, Homan, that's it, Homan Zar Homan,
I don't know, not secretary anyway, That's where a lot
of this ninety billion is going to go in. This
(45:27):
is something that they've been planning for a while to
put more money into border security. This is where homeland
security is going to get that extra ninety on the bump.
They're also going to work on cybersecurity and counter terrorism enhancements.
The other side we've got a bump on is the
Committee on the Judiciary. That is a whopping one one
(45:49):
hundred and ten billion dollar increase. This is this covers
legal policy, law enforcement agencies, FBI, DOJ, and those immigration courts.
So it's kind of a one to two punch with
this where there's about two hundred billion dollars going into
the immigration side, and it's immigration on the border security,
(46:12):
and then there's also the immigration for the immigration courts
to start working on that backlog, and I think the
one two punch for them is to cut off the
majority of the flow. They're not going to completely cut
off everybody going in, but they will slow down the
income and put more money into the immigration courts. So
(46:35):
that they can start working on that backlog as well,
both in the people that are coming in directly and
also the people that are being pushed out, so they
can get more of that. Now. I'm sure the FBI
and DOJ are going to get a little taste of
that too, because that's part of that committee on the Judiciary.
Here's the other one that's losing one billion dollars, just
(46:56):
a one billion dollars, not one hundred billion or eight
hundred eighty billion, just one billion.
Speaker 2 (47:02):
That's the Committee on Natural Resources.
Speaker 1 (47:05):
Federal land Management, water resources, energy exploration, and Native American affairs.
Speaker 2 (47:11):
All happen within the Natural Resources Committee.
Speaker 1 (47:15):
This includes the only way to get this done, cuts
to national parks, decreased environmental protection funding, and adjustments to
federal land leasing policies. This is the other one that
has kind of gone under the radar, is they are
looking to start leasing more federal land out there in
(47:36):
the world. I'm working on on a whole forestry and
land preservation side of it. I think we're going to
end up with that probably in on Wednesday. We'll do
like a word Wednesday or something like that for this
or next Thursday. Because it does deal with a lot
(47:57):
of legislation. So in fifty billion dollars, that's the Committee
on Oversight and Government Reform. Will wait a minute, I
thought we wanted more oversight in government reform. Oh okay,
well let's just get we got doze right now, it's redundant.
This jurisdiction for this committee handles government operations, federal workforce policies,
(48:20):
and oversight responsibilities.
Speaker 2 (48:24):
Well hack, it sounds like these are doge.
Speaker 1 (48:27):
Are you sure this isn't doge?
Speaker 2 (48:28):
I think I found the real doge.
Speaker 1 (48:33):
The potential budget adjustments for this because this committee is
losing fifty billion dollars, We're going to see the reduction
of the federal workforce salaries and benefits, hiring freezes, pension adjustments.
Ooh yeah, you graduated or graduated from work, right, you
(48:56):
retired from from the side of the government workforce, and
maybe they maybe they adjust your pension for you. Right you?
Speaker 2 (49:05):
You don't need all that money, right, you don't need
all of it.
Speaker 1 (49:09):
The Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure is another one. We're
coming up to five till the top of the hour,
so we've only got a couple more minutes left, So
I'm going to run through these pretty quickly. We're right
towards the end. This is the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.
They're going to be losing ten billion dollars in their budget.
(49:32):
It manages natural national infrastructure, so we're actually losing ten
billion dollars for highways, rail and aviation systems while we
have unprecedent amounts of aviation let's say, let's say confusion
right to be to be a little bit nicer, they
(49:53):
are losing ten billion dollars from that transportation and infrastructure
side of it. This will decrease transportation grants. It will
be local municipalities that will pick up potholes and bridges
and things like that. Also, it will cut public trans
(50:15):
transit funds. Amtrak, the Urban Networks, the CTA, the Metra
are all going to start to lose some of those fundings. Well,
like chip Roy said, he won't vote for a bill
to increase spending unless we have these massive cuts. So
this all brings into the Committee in ways and means.
(50:38):
They are the ones that are in control of tax policy,
soil security, medicare, and revenue related measures. They have been
called to increase by four point five trillion with a
T yeah, a T boo boo boo a T. This
(50:58):
is where they're looking to fund all of these things,
all the other stuff. It was like a negative side.
They are going to increase the deficit by four point
five trillion dollars. Now this includes the continuation of the
(51:19):
twenty seventeen tax cuts, so they'll keep doing that. I
think we had a big old deficit on that one.
I think was somewhere around oh my goodness, I think
it was like two and a half trillion dollars or
something like that. I'd have to research it again, but
it was somewhere in the two trillion ish type of
side for it for the twenty seventeen tax cuts. What's
(51:41):
new in these is they are looking to still do
the Social Security tax cut. They're also looking to do
tips as well. Here's the problem is what if I'm
a billionaire with my own company and I.
Speaker 2 (51:57):
Say my whole salary is tip.
Speaker 1 (52:00):
Yeah, that's the loophole we got to make sure we
get coming up in the next hour, We've got bend
Ammonium boquest is gonna help me run down those headlines.
I hope you will jump on the phone lines eight four, seven, nine, three, one,

(02:44):
WRMN Morning show will be there all the first shifters
calling in and being a part of the show. There,
Thank you again for being here on this show. This
is the political show, or a political show really, but
the political show that you're not really gonna get kicked
out of here because you are from a different team
(03:05):
where you've got a different belief in the market of ideas,
we need more shopkeepers, We need more people to feel
like they can express something because for me, there is
no quicker way to find this, to find the answer
or find the truth is than for me to say
(03:28):
a lie on the internet. You'll get six or seven
people that are and correct you for it. But I
welcome that. I welcome corrections. I welcome your opinions. That's
what we do around here. That's how we can have
this discourse. Imagine the founding fathers didn't listen to each
other at all. Like Benjamin Franklin says, well, I'm not
going over there. That's got that that that Thomas Thomas
(03:50):
Jefferson fellow over there, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson didn't
really like each other so much. That's why the Democratic
Republicans split into that side. So maybe we all pull
together and maybe we pull up the Democratic Republicans again.
I think we can all agree on some Jeffersonian democracy.
(04:11):
We don't necessarily have to follow everything that the gentleman did.
I mean, he did own six hundred plus slaves, only
released the ten that were in his family, honestly. So yes,
we can't take all of our idols and say everything.
There's only one person for that. There was Jesus, maybe Gandhi,
(04:33):
but mother Teresa. Okay, okay, okay. Maybe there's a few
other examples that are out there. But today we are
going to break down, like we had said, we are
going to talk about the reconciliation and the reconciliation bill
that was passed by the House. Some people have called
(04:54):
it one big, beautiful bill, and that's what they asked for,
so that's what they kind of put together for it.
So that's what we're going to talk about today, is
that big bill. And that big bill has some cuts,
it has some additions to things.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
If we've got more.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Time in the hour, we will actually kind of go
the I like the how did we get.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Here type of type of side to things.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
It's one thing to fix a problem, talk about a problem,
but you have to kind of know how you got
there so that you don't stumble into it again when
you start walking down that path again and you go, oh,
wait a minute, this feels familiar. What's at the end
of this. I don't think it was cake and ice cream.
I think it was a giant fifty trillion dollar deficit.
(05:43):
Now it's not that that high now, but I haven't
read you the bill, So this is an outline. The
bill that's here is an outline. This is House Reconciliation
Bill number fourteen. If you want to look for it.
If you're looking for the link to I will have
it on my substack later on after the show is
(06:05):
posted on the podcast. Yeah, that's right. The show's posted
on the podcast. And if you're interested in podcast, somebody
knows something which is brought to you by the Elgin
Police Department is exploding. Jump in to see where thousands
of people have already listened to those episodes.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
You guessed it.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
It's on your favorite podcasting platform a political talk shows
there too, but I recommend listening to that one.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
That one's way more entertaining.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Than you know, guy going through budget and reconciliation.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Over here yesterday we talked about hyperbole.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
I will try to refrain any erroneous hyperbole and only
give you the hyperbole that we all know and love, like.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I'm so hungry, I could eat a horse.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Drinking like a fish, or you know, metaphors are hyperbole, etcetera, etcetera.
So thanks for being here. I really appreciate it. So
let's get into it for here. So in the budget reconciliation,
it's an outline. It's not a end all, be all.
This is the way we're we're going to do it.
(07:15):
This is the details. No, no, no, there are no details.
In fact, it is so vague. In the first forty pages,
it's all just a list of numbers, line item A,
line item B as.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
It goes through.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
When you start to get maybe into page forty two
forty three of the thing, and trust me, do not
read the first forty some pages. Now you might want
to read the intro and just kind of go from there,
but the first forty some pages are literally just line
item type of budget reconciliation side saying Okay, we spent
(07:51):
this much on this time, and now we spent this
much on that time. And it's kind of like the
actual reconciliation part of it, and then at about page
forty they start tacking on exactly what their plan is.
And this is more of an outline than it is
from than it is an actual tax bill. You'll notice
(08:14):
when you do peruse it, I recommend doing it. You
might as well. They had to read it. They're the
ones that are voting for it. If you would like
to hold them to account, you should read it too.
But let me at least give you the overview for it.
That way you can still hop around the water cooler
and still have at least some sort of knowledge on it.
(08:34):
So in the bill itself, there is no cuts to
Medicare or no specific cuts to Medicare. There is a
giant dip that's in there, but there is no specific
we want to slice up Medicare because that's political suicide.
It is it just is. It's the what do they
call it? The political third rail? Are the entitlement programs,
(08:58):
especially the entitlement programs for the elderly and the people
who have medical issues that the government is really helping with.
Medicaid does help a lot for nursing homes as well,
and Medicaid forty percent of the people on Medicaid are children.
So we did that, I think monetary Monday, we talked
(09:21):
about entitlements.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
It's still on that podcast.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
That's the beauty of podcasting is I don't have to say, hey,
go back to the YouTube channel, which you can. You
can go back to the YouTube channel watch the video
from there, but you can go directly to the podcast
and go what was that time.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
He did it.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
The best part is if you use spreaker to find
that podcast, the transcript is actually there. So with the transcript,
you'll be able to pruise through the entire hour and
not necessarily get lost scrubbing back and forth for everything
if you're more of a reader versus an audiobook type
(09:58):
of person. But what this is an outline for the committees.
So since it is one giant bill, what they did
is they passed it as an outline and said these
are our goals. Hey, committees, take this number and go
(10:20):
deliberate on these numbers. If they can't hit the numbers,
whether it's the increase, the decrease, the left, the right,
or whatever else, they can't they can't fit this number here,
then they have put in a few clauses that they
will lower other numbers to kind of make up for it.
So we're gonna hit a quick break here before we
(10:44):
get into it. But I just wanted to give you
kind of the overview of what this is. This is
not a tax bill, this is not a necessarily a
full budget bill. This is a this is what the
President and the Congress want, so committees go do it.
(11:05):
We're literally watching the levers of government in the gears
of government turn. It is slow. I agree with you,
it's slow. It's not very fast, But I mean here
we are in here, we are in like the fourth
fifth week of actually having a new president, and I
(11:28):
mean that's pretty quick to get a bill out of there,
especially with a plan that's here. It passed at two
seventeen to two fifteen, So it passed by one vote, right,
because that one vote wouldn't move over to the other
side and it'd be two fifteen to fifteen math. So
(11:49):
when we come back, we're going to talk about the
different committees, the Committee of Agriculture, the Committee of Armed Services, Education,
Energy and Commerce, Financial Services, all of these different committees
and now their new budgetary goals. Will talk about the
committees and what they actually serve and fall under and
(12:13):
maybe where these cuts are going to be. But again,
nowhere in this bill does it say a direct cut
to Medicaid. Now does it tell the committee that runs
Medicaid to say, hey, find some money to cut. Yes,
it absolutely does say that, but it does not say
specifically cut these programs, just like it doesn't say specifically
(12:36):
to cut taxes on social security and tips and all
of the other things. It's not saying that those things
cannot happen. They left that door open. But this bill
does not have those specifics in it. So anybody who
tells you that it is are lying, right, I'll help
(12:58):
you point out the liars right now. Anybody who says
that in the bill it has tax exemption for tips
and solid security and anything else doesn't have it. It
also does not have the direct cuts to Medicare. So
you got both sides of the aisle lying about this
(13:18):
particular bill, and we will help you break it down
right after this.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
Welcome back to a political talk show on WRMNWRMN fourteen
ten am, and of course the amazing, beautiful fast website
in the entire world WRMN fourteen ten dot com. Thank
you very much for being here, Thanks for engaging right
even with your own brain right now in your car
(17:00):
or listening on the smart speaker or watching on YouTube.
Really appreciate the engagement of your mind right there.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
That's the WRMN fourteen ten website. M m mmm, so
tasty right there. Go ahead and check that out.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
But we appreciate you being here, appreciate you being a
part of it. And like I said yesterday, don't just here.
Let's listen. Let's kind of get that internalization for the things.
Don't take my opinions and internalize them. Take my opinions,
take the facts that I'm giving you, and then maul
them around in your own brain and then decide what
(17:39):
you'd like to do. There's nothing I don't like. I
guess there's a couple of things I've got pet peeves on,
but the biggest one for me is somebody who has
somebody else's opinion, right, the for I get this a
lot for the maybe the pineapple on pizza crowd, right,
the people that have never tried it before, never done anything,
They just heard all of the bad stuff it's out there,
(18:01):
or I don't know the other side of it of
I also think that Metallica's overrated. Now there's a lot
of people that will fight me on that, so I
say that in the confines of my own studio. But
that's part of the opinions. Make an opinion, Try a thing, researcher,
look at it. Don't just turn around and say, oh,
(18:22):
the pineapple on pizzas gross.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
And Metallica's the best rock ever.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Like, get an opinion, get one, don't get don't go
to the shelf, don't go to the news article, don't
get your own opinion. Now you can start your own
opinion with somebody else's. That's a good stepping stool. Read
six or seven other opinions and see where you land.
That's what we try to do here at a political
(18:46):
talk show is I want to make sure that you
have the foundation of the facts and things, so that
when you do go out into the world and listen
to the other media, or hear the other talking heads,
or listen to the other pundits, or or read an article,
or or hear somebody say something at work, you are
able to back up your opinions, not necessarily fact check somebody,
(19:10):
not necessarily well, well, actually, well you're right. You don't
you don't want to need to, you don't need to
do all that, but have a strong opinion for yourself.
You wouldn't have a strong opinion about movies if you
didn't watch the movie, right, Why would you ask somebody
uh at the library about this particular book if they've
never read it before. Now they may turn around and say,
(19:34):
like the librarian may turn around and say, hey, I
read something about this thing, or I read maybe whether
the spark notes or something like that.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
For so they may be a bit more informed on
that side.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
But inform yourself, get a little bit of that uh,
that responsibility back, you know, to let somebody just feed you. Here,
here's the fact for you, tasty. Oh you got you
spit up a little fact on your on your in there.
Come on, you're an adult. Unless you're not an adult,
you will be one day. So we're going to talk
(20:07):
a little bit about the committee here in the next
last four minutes we got in this this segment, and
then we'll jump into more of those committees for it,
because we're breaking down the budget bill, the Budget Reconciliation Bill,
House Bill fourteen. If you follow the sub stack, I'll
have a link that's on there too with our notes
for this. But the first one right off the bat
(20:30):
is the Committee on Agriculture that is going down by
two one hundred and thirty billion dollars. That's their goal
is to bring that down. Well, what is the jurisdiction
of the Agriculture Committee, Well, it oversees agriculture policy and
the food assistance programs and rule development and forestry, so
all of those things.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Are part of the agricultural side.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
The two hundred and thirty billion dollars is going to
come out of somewhere. So that could be the reduction
in farm subsidies. That'll cut the financial assistance provided to farmers.
They could cut crop insurance programs. That's part of what
they've got for it. They've also got SNAP and food
(21:14):
assistance programs, that's a place that they can possibly tighten
up the eligibility criteria and say only these people can
have it, or we're going to raise the income limit
or whatever you've got for that. They've also got the
Rule development funding limitations, and that's a potential impact on
(21:36):
infrastructure and economic support programs in rural areas. You talk
about public drainage, maybe they've got a country road or
a county road that needs to get put together.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
The county will more than likely get a grant or
so from something like that.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Well, Agriculture Committee on Agriculture has to drop according to
this two hundred and thirty billion with a B dollars.
If I had to guess what is probably going to
come out a little.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Bit of everything, it's going to be a little bit
of everything.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Some of the farm subsidies, some of the crop insurance
SNAP program, and that Rule Development. So let's talk about
a boon Committee on Armed Services that is getting one
hundred billion increase. The jurisdiction oversees military funding, Department of
Defense programs, and national security initiatives. So they're actually getting
(22:30):
one hundred billion dollars off of that one with a B.
By the way, billion billion, billion, billion, lots lots of money.
With a billion, if I made what is it, one
hundred thousand dollars a week, it would take me ten
thousand years to make a billion dollars. Yeah, billion is
a big money, and here's one hundred of them, one
(22:51):
hundred billion dollars for it. This will be the increase
in personal personnel spending, so higher salaries and benefits for
the military. We've also got new weapons systems, probably not
the F thirty fives, those are still.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Still not made.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
We've also got the expanded military operations because that's what
we're going to more than likely have to do if
we decide to take over Gaza. And then we also
have infrastructure improvements. That's military bases, housing, training facilities. So
the Committee on Armed Services is getting an extra ten
(23:29):
billion dollars and the Agriculture is losing two hundred and
thirty We'll go into a bunch more of the things
that are in here. The Committee on Education and Workforce
is losing three hundred and thirty billion.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
We'll be right back.

Train World. I saw you over there on Tammy Show too.
Make sure you hit that like and subscribe as well,
so that way you know every time that we're live
and you get that nice little notification. So we're breaking
down down the bill here from the House now. The
(31:04):
Senator is working on another bill themselves, so like most things,
it's got to kind of pass through all of these
different sides before it even gets up to the President.
And even then with this kind of committee outline and things.
We'll see what it's got to bring into because we're
(31:27):
not really seeing we're not really seeing a lot of details,
and I don't think the details are going to come
up before the March. It's like fifteenth or something deadline,
the IDEs of March, type of doomsday type of thing.
But that's where Speaker Johnson was on CNN just the
(31:54):
other just the other day explaining a lot of this too,
about how they're more than likely not going to get
a lot of this passed until after that March deadline,
because I mean, the Committee for Education and Workforce has
to find three hundred and thirty billion dollars to cut
like that. That doesn't take weeks, despite what you might
(32:15):
see on television right now. And even then, if you
look at the numbers, numbers are now coming out in
the first month's expenses of the United States, and the
expenses this month are one hundred about one hundred billion
dollars more than they were four years ago, even during
(32:35):
the pandemic of the first what thirty days of the
Biden administration, So even during the pandemic, it wasn't this much.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
It could be.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
I'm not going to point at all on Doge's lap.
But for the most part, that organization makes seven million
dollars a week, seven million dollars to run DOGE. How
many weeks of DOGE could pay for forestry salaries. But
we're not here to necessarily go after that part. We're
here to break down what the outline was passed. So
(33:09):
we already talked about Defense, which is the Committee of
Armed Services. This is all House committees. Armed Services is
going to get another one hundred billion dollars, and the
Committee on Agriculture is going to lose two hundred and
thirty So the Committee on Education and Workforce is going
to subtract three hundred and thirty billion dollars. This committee
(33:35):
handles education policy so K through nine, higher education, workforce
development programs, and labor laws.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
So it's not just education. It's not just pell.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Grants and school grants and all of the other things
that are there. This also deals with labor laws. And
with this one, I could see where this three and
thirty billion dollar deficit is within the Trump Plan, the
President Trump Plan.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Sorry, I'm trying to be better at that, so I
still called them Biden, but whatever.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Because we have this push to remove the Department of Education, Well,
where do they get their funding from? So that's where
another push is. They're trying to push education back down
to the state level. And we can talk about the
Article four or the Tenth Amendment, and I might put
something together for that side, but that's that's kind of
(34:38):
where Article four and the Tenth Amendment go if the
federal government doesn't have that specific responsibility. So let's say
the federal government says we're no longer going to be
responsible for education because of Article four and the Tenth Amendment,
it automatically defaults to the state.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
It just does.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
The Tenth Amendment is anything that anything that is at
a specific power of the central government is therefore passed
down to the states. So what does the Committee on
Education and Workforce do well? The budget adjustments could have
reductions in federal student aid programs, possible cuts to pel grants,
(35:20):
federal student loans, and loan forgiveness initiatives. So I don't
think they're going to turn around and turn on loans
that they've already forgiven, but it's going to make it
a lot harder for anybody to have a loan forgiven.
So it could also decrease funding for job training and
(35:43):
workforce programs, fewer resources for vocational training.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
I went to a vocational school.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
I went to an electronics vocational school, and I wouldn't
have been able to learn all of those things if
I didn't have the grants to make sure that that
was available in high school. Also employment services for that
side too. The potential impacts on public school funding is
the reduction of federal assistance for low income school districts.
(36:12):
So we're talking about I think it's title one, if
I had to remember what that one is, is to
move more funding into more impoverished neighborhoods than to keep
it in the affluent. This also will affect school lunch programs.
(36:32):
So if you are interested in having that school lunch
for people, maybe we do find the black Panthers to
take over for that over there, but we knew where
that turned out. So the Committee on Energy and Commerce
is the biggest one. This is absolutely the large Enchilada.
(36:55):
This is where the Democrats are crying the the sky
is falling. It's there, and you know what, I might
sing with them too. It's a good chorus that I
like to round every once in a while. But what's
happening with the Committee on Energy and Commerce. This covers
energy policy, healthcare, and telecommunications regulations. So if we're talking
(37:22):
about fact checkers, boom right here, Energy and Commerce, we're
talking about subsidies for oil executives, boom right here. On
the Energy and Commerce we're talking about medicaid, medical care. Boom,
Energy and Commerce. Where are they going to find eight
(37:44):
hundred and eighty billion dollars? Well, I probably guess that
they're not going to take it from the fuel subsidies
because drill, baby, drill. Even though we are the largest
producer of oil already, we are already number one, Why
do we have to be better than the number one
(38:05):
we are right now? There is no number half, there
is no number zero, there's number one, and we're it.
So they're not going to cut the subsidies for it.
Trust me, you know the game.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
I know the game. It's why should we pretend that
it doesn't going to happen oh soon? Or you don't
know that We all know that they have it.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
We all know that the oil, that the healthcare, that
the everything else that's there because Medicaid and Medicare that's
in here, can't haggle prices.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
It's against the law for it.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
And if we start cutting lawyers out of the Energy
and Commerce division, they're not going to fight to get
it done. So what we could see, even though everybody's
saying we won't, I will tell you that we will.
They'll tell you. They'll tell you all day. No, we're
not going to touch the thing. We're not going to
do the stuff. They're going to do the stuff. They're
going to touch the thing, they're going to cut it.
(39:05):
It's gonna happen. You do not get eight hundred and
eighty billion dollars out of something without cutting. The way
that they're going to guise it, though, is that there's
a bunch of fraud. It's all out there. There's there's
illegal people that are getting all of these different things.
They're just an executive order just the other day of
(39:28):
how illegal immigrants can't get solid security. They can't.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
I don't. They don't have solid security numbers. That's just.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
It may be something different than solid security that illegal
immigrants might be getting. But this is absolutely that that
straw man type of thing of like, wha, look how
bad it is we need to cut eight hundred and
eighty billion dollars from Medicaid. So that's where the healthcare
cuts may end up being. They'll tell you all day.
(40:04):
They're gonna tell you. They're gonna say it, They're gonna
do whatever, just like they said the tax cuts weren't
for the wealthy, just like they said they were going
to fix the economy, just like they said they were Look,
they say a lot of things to keep their job.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
The number one thing in politics is survival.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
If you are already the thing, you are already the incumbent,
there are hundreds of people behind you that are trying
to take that job. It's just it's survival. So I
will tell you all day, I'm not going to do
the thing. I'm not going to do the thing.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
I may be walking towards doing the thing.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
I may have like opened up the door to go
do the thing. I maybe like three or four steps
away from doing the thing, but I'm not doing it.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
I'm not doing it. I'm not there. I haven't touched
you yet. And then they do and go, well, you
know what, it was justified. I don't know why you're
so upset.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
Energy subsidies, the decrease of government support for renewable energy projects.
That's probably what's going to get pulled. It won't be
the fossil fuels. It will be they will move from
solar and things and move to clean coal. I don't
know if you've ever seen coal or touched coal before,
(41:15):
but I would like somebody to explain how it's clean.
Cuts to environmental regulations will also come in for energy
and commerce, reducing funding for climate initiatives and pollution control measures,
the carbon capture initiatives that we've been putting together, or
any of the other subsidies for that. They will also
(41:36):
change the telecom policies, possible deregulation of broadband services. So
while your internet is a little bit cheaper, or if
you're in one of those rural areas that just doesn't
get a lot of internet or have that access that's
in the Inflation Reduction Act, in a couple other places
(41:57):
that they're still working on, you.
Speaker 2 (42:01):
May have to end up paying more. Do you imagine because.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
You're all the way out in nowhere land in the
middle of the cornfield, that you now will have to
pay hundreds of dollars for your internet, Yes, because they're
delivering it to you. It's unregulated. Deregulation isn't always the best.
Some regulation, not over regulation is better, but you still
(42:25):
have to have rules. Nobody turns around and says, man,
I wish I could bounce the or dribble the basketball
in the stands and then go for the shot.
Speaker 2 (42:38):
That would be a lot better. Yeah, there's rules, there's regulations.
Speaker 1 (42:43):
Yeah, I'm sure I can make a three point shot
if the three point shot was actually a layup instead.
Speaker 2 (42:48):
And I just called it a three point shot if
there's no rules.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
So the other side we're going to look at two
is the Committee on Financial Services. This is only one
billion dollars that comes down this overseas banking, securities, insurance, housing,
and you guessed it, consumer protection. So cuts to financial
regulation enforcement. This will reduce the oversight in the banking
(43:14):
and investment practices, not like we're having banks here and
there fail or if maybe there is another run on
a bank.
Speaker 2 (43:24):
Yeah no, let's just get rid of those regulations.
Speaker 1 (43:28):
Decreased funding for mortgage assistance programs, the possible impact on
affordable housing and homeowner home ownership. You've got that first
time home buyer's loan as well. That comes out super
secret is if you wait three years, you're a first
time home buyer again, so maybe they close that loop.
(43:49):
That might save the extra billion dollars by one time.
That's it, first time home buyer done, don't buy two, three,
eight more. Off of that same first time home buyer side.
We will also probably see, and we've started to see,
the lowering of the funding of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
(44:12):
That's the bureau that keeps the banks and the federal
government from taking all your Money's the that's the one
that said, hey, maybe we should only do a five
dollars one time overdraft fee for people that literally have
no money.
Speaker 2 (44:29):
They don't have any money. You took more money. They
have negative money, and you wanted to take more they
don't have it.
Speaker 7 (44:39):
It just.
Speaker 1 (44:41):
To me it's that type of predatory type of thing.
Is it gets you into a hole where now you
are in debt forever. We've also got the Committee on
Homeland Security. We're going to get ninety billion dollar increase
on that one. This manages domestic security, disaster relief, and
immigration enforcement. They are planning in at least the rumor
(45:05):
mill of whatever they were talking about as far as
the czar, the border hose a hoser, something like I
can't remember his name, Homan, that's it, Homan Zar Homan,
I don't know, not secretary anyway, That's where a lot
of this ninety billion is going to go in. This
(45:27):
is something that they've been planning for a while to
put more money into border security. This is where homeland
security is going to get that extra ninety on the bump.
They're also going to work on cybersecurity and counter terrorism enhancements.
The other side we've got a bump on is the
Committee on the Judiciary. That is a whopping one one
(45:49):
hundred and ten billion dollar increase. This is this covers
legal policy, law enforcement agencies, FBI, DOJ, and those immigration courts.
So it's kind of a one to two punch with
this where there's about two hundred billion dollars going into
the immigration side, and it's immigration on the border security,
(46:12):
and then there's also the immigration for the immigration courts
to start working on that backlog, and I think the
one two punch for them is to cut off the
majority of the flow. They're not going to completely cut
off everybody going in, but they will slow down the
income and put more money into the immigration courts. So
(46:35):
that they can start working on that backlog as well,
both in the people that are coming in directly and
also the people that are being pushed out, so they
can get more of that. Now. I'm sure the FBI
and DOJ are going to get a little taste of
that too, because that's part of that committee on the Judiciary.
Here's the other one that's losing one billion dollars, just
(46:56):
a one billion dollars, not one hundred billion or eight
hundred eighty billion, just one billion.
Speaker 2 (47:02):
That's the Committee on Natural Resources.
Speaker 1 (47:05):
Federal land Management, water resources, energy exploration, and Native American affairs.
Speaker 2 (47:11):
All happen within the Natural Resources Committee.
Speaker 1 (47:15):
This includes the only way to get this done, cuts
to national parks, decreased environmental protection funding, and adjustments to
federal land leasing policies. This is the other one that
has kind of gone under the radar, is they are
looking to start leasing more federal land out there in
(47:36):
the world. I'm working on on a whole forestry and
land preservation side of it. I think we're going to
end up with that probably in on Wednesday. We'll do
like a word Wednesday or something like that for this
or next Thursday. Because it does deal with a lot
(47:57):
of legislation. So in fifty billion dollars, that's the Committee
on Oversight and Government Reform. Will wait a minute, I
thought we wanted more oversight in government reform. Oh okay,
well let's just get we got doze right now, it's redundant.
This jurisdiction for this committee handles government operations, federal workforce policies,
(48:20):
and oversight responsibilities.
Speaker 2 (48:24):
Well hack, it sounds like these are doge.
Speaker 1 (48:27):
Are you sure this isn't doge?
Speaker 2 (48:28):
I think I found the real doge.
Speaker 1 (48:33):
The potential budget adjustments for this because this committee is
losing fifty billion dollars, We're going to see the reduction
of the federal workforce salaries and benefits, hiring freezes, pension adjustments.
Ooh yeah, you graduated or graduated from work, right, you
(48:56):
retired from from the side of the government workforce, and
maybe they maybe they adjust your pension for you. Right you?
Speaker 2 (49:05):
You don't need all that money, right, you don't need
all of it.
Speaker 1 (49:09):
The Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure is another one. We're
coming up to five till the top of the hour,
so we've only got a couple more minutes left, So
I'm going to run through these pretty quickly. We're right
towards the end. This is the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.
They're going to be losing ten billion dollars in their budget.
(49:32):
It manages natural national infrastructure, so we're actually losing ten
billion dollars for highways, rail and aviation systems while we
have unprecedent amounts of aviation let's say, let's say confusion
right to be to be a little bit nicer, they
(49:53):
are losing ten billion dollars from that transportation and infrastructure
side of it. This will decrease transportation grants. It will
be local municipalities that will pick up potholes and bridges
and things like that. Also, it will cut public trans
(50:15):
transit funds. Amtrak, the Urban Networks, the CTA, the Metra
are all going to start to lose some of those fundings. Well,
like chip Roy said, he won't vote for a bill
to increase spending unless we have these massive cuts. So
this all brings into the Committee in ways and means.
(50:38):
They are the ones that are in control of tax policy,
soil security, medicare, and revenue related measures. They have been
called to increase by four point five trillion with a
T yeah, a T boo boo boo a T. This
(50:58):
is where they're looking to fund all of these things,
all the other stuff. It was like a negative side.
They are going to increase the deficit by four point
five trillion dollars. Now this includes the continuation of the
(51:19):
twenty seventeen tax cuts, so they'll keep doing that. I
think we had a big old deficit on that one.
I think was somewhere around oh my goodness, I think
it was like two and a half trillion dollars or
something like that. I'd have to research it again, but
it was somewhere in the two trillion ish type of
side for it for the twenty seventeen tax cuts. What's
(51:41):
new in these is they are looking to still do
the Social Security tax cut. They're also looking to do
tips as well. Here's the problem is what if I'm
a billionaire with my own company and I.
Speaker 2 (51:57):
Say my whole salary is tip.
Speaker 1 (52:00):
Yeah, that's the loophole we got to make sure we
get coming up in the next hour, We've got bend
Ammonium boquest is gonna help me run down those headlines.
I hope you will jump on the phone lines eight four, seven, nine, three, one,
fourteen ten. I see you there on the old YouTube
