Monday 19th May, year of our Lord 2025. I said look to my trusty colleague, the 10 year treasuries is still above 4.5. Anyway, the treasuries popped a little bit over the, over the, over the weekend the 30 went above 5. I don't think the market's totally absorbed what the downgrade is. Scott Bessemers on TV said it's backward looking. Okay, I buy that it's a, it's looking backwards, but it's a forward looking problem because now they got excuses to hide behind. And you notice they didn't do this under Biden, which is a joke the way Yellen ran the thing and Yellen, remember, financed all this we talked about all the time, short term because they couldn't go out, they couldn't go out in 10s and 30s because it would, it would have blown up on them and caused even more inflation than the arts caused by their spending. But the spending's caused by the, is the inflation is caused by spending, this massive federal spending. So we have to get, we have to get our arms around it. I've said time and time again the bond market is going to get a vote. Well, guess what? On Friday they got the air cover to have a vote and they're going to have a vote. We need to take action when we can take action. That's what President Trump's trying to do with this overhaul, massive comprehensive comprehensive bill, which I still think is a possibility. They may split this thing into the Senate to try to do the, the, the border security, which is the $170 billion that they want. I think it's 90 billion in the House. So the conference will work that out. But that is an unfathomable amount of money, right, to do the deportations plus another 150 billion I think top up in defense spending. That's why the deficits are higher in the first years. And can you trust the political class? Can you trust the people on Capitol Hill? You haven't been able to trust them so far. I don't think President Trump should trust them in particular, can the American people trust these folks? Because all they want to do is spend and spend and spend. And the Republicans haven't been a breakup on that. They've kind of got tapped along. They've had some things on the margins, but it's just been on the margins here. They're talking about they're going to have this throwdown. The term you're going to hear is fmap, basically trying to stop Obamacare expansion. And that's the big thing they're talking about. That could be significant. Another, I guess couple hundred billion dollars over the program in cutting spending in particular in the first years. But here's what they presented, here's what the House presented last week before people were able to kick up dust. And I'm one of the proponents of not cutting Medicaid to the bone because you've got a ton of working class people on Medicaid now because the jobs have been shipped overseas and they don't have insurance. But when you know you got two and a half million plus illegal aliens on it, no illegal alien in this country should be on Medicaid, full stop. And that you got the able bodied that are not even doing basic checks because of what Biden put in. And that wasn't going to start to 2029. That's just not right. That's the problem. The details of all these programs that get all this and there's so much in this bill and in the tax side that if you don't have a team of experts that can analyze it for you, they're going to steamroll you. You, the average citizen who are in good faith sitting there going, well, I voted on a guy that, you know, his campaign poster said limited government. His campaign poster said limited government. If his campaign poster said limited government, where is he on the at least the initial Doge cuts? And not just programmatically because remember I said, hey, other people are coming. That so I don't really count that. But on the fraud, my understanding there's a couple hundred billion dollars kind of floating around of potential Doge cuts because if you look at the math, every month because they post it, we are spending more. The first six months in the fiscal year was over a trillion dollars. That's just the math that's reported. But my understanding is that the rescissions packages, because you got two ways to do this, either do impoundments, which the president can just do and that's going to be challenged in the courts, or you can do rescissions where you go up and just need a majority vote, which we should have in both houses. And my understanding is that Russ has not put forward the resistance packages because given everything in the reconciliation bill, they don't know if there's a tension or what of these things could pass or even get people's attention. I also understand that there's already certain other resistance packages dealing with some of the Doge, what Doge found in the cuts that people in Capitol Hill have said, no, we don't want to do that. That's not acceptable. And so I don't know what they're going to do with that, but they're going to come up with some solution to that, too. My point is that none of them want to face the music of having to cut federal spending just to go back to the pre Covid and Covid Medicaid is what, what did andy Harris say? 40%. Nobody wants to face the fact that we've had explosive growth and that includes that's including in defense. Well, President Trump is on the phone right now with Putin even as we speak to try to at least initially, not an overall deal, but to talk about, you know, a stand down in Ukraine. And this is why the Russian rapprochement is so important, to somehow begin to put a wedge in between them and the Chinese Communist Party. You saw at the Moscow celebrations of the Victory in Europe Day, their version of it 80 years later. And now we're hearing all kind of reports that the Chinese Communist Party has been, is given the weapon systems in Pakistan. There's huge reports out that the, that the, they're, they're cozying up to the Egyptian military. You think Egypt, you think Israel is kind of surrounded Turkey to the north, Egypt on one side, Persia on the other. Right. So President Trump's trying to deal with the kinetic part of the Third World War and trying to bring some semblance in the arc of instability all the way from the Ukraine all the way down to the North Arabian and Red Sea and everything in betwixt which is like a tinderbox just waiting to go up. Those folks all cheek by jowl. They got a lot of vendettas in Kashmir, in Afghanistan, in Persia, Turkey, Syria, the southern tip of Arabia, the Houthi land in Yemen. They all got. They all got a. They all got an issue. The black hand of the Chinese Communist Party is everywhere to be disruptive. Including. That's why we're following the Rio reset so, so, so closely. Go to birchgold.com right now and get it the free, the seventh free installment, the Rio Reset. Everything that leads up to it, all free. Why the black hand of the Chinese Communist Party is in back of Moses. Why is this? Because they're the existential threat to the United States and, oh, by the way, daring engaged in war against us. Remember Chinese philosophical and military doctrine by Sun Tzu and all their other philosophers. If you have to go kinetic, the moment you go kinetic, they think we've kind of lost. Not that they intend to lose in the kinetic, but they said we kind of lost because, you know, foreign devils like fighting kinetic workers. They're not strategic enough and savvy enough and cunning enough to defeat their enemies beforehand. And that's what we, the Imperial power and Imperial House of China does. So President Trump's trying to do that. Cleveland's got a great report in, in, in over the Federalist about. She actually breaks it down. The judicial insurrection. We've had Mike Davis and Julie Kelly, everybody on here talking about it since President Trump took over in January. You've got a insurrection from the judiciary and that's the only way they're slowing him down right now. But that's a real thing and that's going to have to be brought to a head. This is why in the show we got DC Drain on here and he put that great tweet up and said, hey, let's get down. Because I said, this is an avenue that is going to be a forcing function and that is suspending the writ of habeas corpus. Why? Because you can tell right now they're trying to step in between him in being commander in chief of the armed forces. Take a deep breath. This has happened before in the Civil War, in the beginning, early days of the Civil War, the Chief Justice Taney, who had given us the Dred Scott decision, right. Kind of a triggering event. He tried to step in between Lincoln and his powers, or as he and Seward described them, the inherent powers of the executive branch. Article two, particularly as commander in chief, to suspend habeas corpus and to kind of run the war as a warlord, which he did, got worse over time as the fighting got worse and union losses mounted. But he didn't back off, never backed off. So that's a whole judicial front. Now you've got the Big enchilada, which is the spending and how you're going to finance it. And they did get a reprieve last night, but doesn't mean that's going to go away. Doesn't mean the deficit hawks. And the deficit hawks are not wrong here. It's just, what can you get done. What can you get done to kind of bend this arc? And this is my point. If there are other things out there, now's the time to let's hear them. If there are revenue. Look, we just had the biggest tariff month in history. If there is something that's going to be kicked in from the External Revenue Service, and it's meaningful, and by meaningful in this regard, I mean every penny. Because we ought to be scraping. You ought to be into the sofas and getting the nickels and the dimes. This ought to be all hands on deck. So if we have. Coming in from that, it ought to be a number we ought to put out and say, this is a number that we can live with. This. We debated, you know, oh, that's too high. That's too. Okay, we agree upon this number. Go back into the Doge situation and these rescissions. I'd like to see what these rescissions are. I just don't think it's some magical formula. Let's get it out there. Let's refute. Let's take the Wall Street Journal's article and let's refute it. They're saying right now the deficit increases by $3 trillion. Let's refute that line by line. I know we've got the information. Let's do it. And then let's. And then let's look at what this Medicaid expansion and what's doable on this. I mean, Harris could not have been more blunt. It's not going to pass on Wednesday. And that means he's probably got, I don't know, 10, 20, 30 or more of these folks that realize back home, people are saying, hey, you got to get control of this debt, because you have to get control of the debt. And once we lock this in, it's locked in. Just like the tax cut in 2017 locked in and did such a magnificent job by the time 2019 came around. It shouldn't be lost on people that the tax cut as, because it was so demonized by the left, was not properly sold or not sold enough that in the midterm elections, we lost 42 seats. And I realized a lot of that was because of, you know, Russiagate and all the Hate that Pelosi's people put on. But all the benefits that pop the next year, just like Reagan's plan, had to be explained to people. I'm not sure it was the next year. By 19, people were feeling good about it. I tell you how good they were feeling. The Chinese Communist Party ripped up in May of that year. Ripped up and spit in our face on the lighthizer deal. Said we're not going to do that.
