So there you have. Let's go over some of what the president. I was actually listening in and watching it in the, in the break as well. There few things that he touched on. First of all, he did, he did address the, the big beautiful bill. And here's what he says. You can, you can guess what the question was from one of the members of the White House press corps. Basically you got Republicans that are critic. Which is, which is true. There are Republicans who are criticizing some of this. And specifically Elon Musk in an interview said, well, do we. We have that Elon club, don't we, guys? Let's, let's play this. This is one. This is Elon Musk on CBS Sunday Morning on beautiful bill. Play it. I was like disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not just decrease it. And that reminds the work that the Doge team is doing. I actually thought that when this big beautiful bill came along, I mean like everything he's done on Doge gets wiped out in the first year. I think, I think a bill can be, can be, can be big or it can be beautiful, but I don't know if. So that's that's Elon, and that Trump was asked about that. And I'll just give you a summary of what Trump said in response just a few moments ago live there in the White House. He said, well, you know, we need GOP support. We need to have the GOP votes to get this thing through. There'll be some back and forth on the Senate side with this, but you're not going to get the bill through without, without having some of the things in there that are currently being criticized. That was, that's, I think, effectively a summary of what, of what it is that he said. And then also when he was talking, he said, look, the fact that Democrats, the Democrats have been willing to go against this in the way that they have, I mean, just every single one of them just shows you it's about spite, not about what's best for the country. I mean, it'd be a massive tax increase, be a massive, you know, hardship financially for the average American household if the tax cuts that, that would expire were allowed to expire. Right. I mean, if you didn't make those cuts permanent. So that's, that's basically what's it on that. One thing that was interesting is there's this phrase, I saw this when I was doing my reader this morning. They call it a taco trade on Wall Street. This is now catching on a little bit. This is what Trump referred to as a nasty question, I might add, the taco trade on Wall street is Trump chickens out again or chump. Yeah, I think that's right. Trump again. Trump again chickens out. There we go. I was like, it has to spell taco, right? Trump again chickens out. And that is, he backs down from some of the stuff on the tariffs. So if he said it's going to be 150 on China, then he goes to 100. They say, well, he's chickening out. I think Trump very clearly, Trump doesn't like that. And he says that this is a negotiation and it's ongoing. And he did not appreciate that at all. I could tell he did not, he does not find it funny. He did not like it and he is not about to. You're not going to hear Trump walking around talking about the Taco trademark. I think also talking about the guy who took a bullet in his ear and raised his fist in the air and said fight during the campaign. Chickening out is, you know, I think that's, that's a, that's, that's quite a bit too far. I don't think that's going to work. So, yeah, that's, that's one. Oh, and then also Zelensky and Putin. Look, Trump has said, he said Putin's gone crazy. I saw this over the weekend, I think, like right around right when I got really sick. Putin is nuts, he says, and he's not listening to reason. And I'm trying to get this guy to stop, but he's not stopping him. Trump is living in reality on this. He sees that Putin is escalating and preparing for a, a renewed offensive and trying to take more territory in Ukraine. So now we'll see. You know, I said all along to you, at least Trump will get clarity on this is Putin's plan to take this thing to the end and to put the resources necessary to get exactly what he wants, which is a huge piece of Ukrainian or former Ukrainian territory. And there's nothing we can do about it unless we want to start fighting Ukraine's war for them. And we don't. I mean, ultimately, that's where this is now, right? I mean, because the people are saying, see, Putin doesn't want to end the war, ok, so we just keep on sending arms and munitions to Ukraine as they keep losing, because that's what's going to happen. It's not a good position to be in. But as Trump was saying, this isn't a war that he was in any way. He wasn't even president when it started. And he claims and upholds to this day strenuously that he would have never, this never would have happened on his watch. So you can agree or disagree with that. The fact of the matter is it didn't happen on his watch. So we'll get into all that here and more. We'll get some of those sound bites to you and, and also bring you some. Oh, I, I was trying to remember. This is the thing that I said. I was so, so, David Sachs, I'm circling back. It was live breaking news there. So I wouldn't say it was weaving, but it was live breaking news. David Sachs, I'm also a little dehydrated, so you gotta give me, you gotta give me a little leeway here. David Sacks, he came out and spoke about who was in charge really in the Biden White House. He's the crypto czar. He's a Silicon Valley guy. And this is what he said. Play 12. This is the financial system of the future, Jesse, and we have to encourage it. What the Biden administration was doing, and let's face it, wasn't Biden. Elizabeth Warren controlled The auto pen during that administration. She, for some reason, has this pathological hatred of the crypto community. She wants to drive this community offshore. She doesn't want it happening in the United States. Elizabeth Warren as the puppet master behind the auto pen. Well, gosh, who knew she had so much power? I think. I don't know if she was on that many issues, the one calling the shots, because I think we would. I think we would. But on crypto, I'm sure she probably could find her way into a meeting with whichever advisor was calling the shots that day around Biden. That's the thing. They're not even big names around. Biden is really a lot of it. There's Ron Klain. People know Ron Klain. A lot of it is the B team of Democrat politics, which might actually explain a lot. I think it does explain a lot. They knew they'd never be in a position like this again in the rest. For the rest of their lives. That this was. This was as much power as they were ever going to taste. And they decided that they were going to do anything they could to stay in this role because they had such a rarefied experience at the very top of the White House, and they made a huge error for the Democrat Party. But I could see Elizabeth Warren being somebody who was on a few issues very much calling whoever she needed to and getting things her way in the White House. But that's pretty bold, isn't it, to say Elizabeth Warren was the one controlling the auto penny. Hmm. Who would have thought? It actually makes sense, too, when you think about how left wing some of the policies were that were coming out of the Biden White House. I will never forget, it was Joe Biden. They put out some guidance from the White House, official guidance on. And it was essentially a policy proclamation from the White House on transgender surgery for like, you know, 12 and 13 year olds or something. And how was gender affirming care? And I remember thinking, this is blue collar Joe from Scranton who rides the choo choo into D.C. like everybody else. Give me a break. Oh, we don't have time, guys. Pull Trump talking about Harvard because I want to dive into this in the next hour. Why the fight against Harvard and these schools is worth it. And the more he can antagonize these places, I think the better. And they deserve it because they're wrong. We'll get into that. So make sure you pull that audio for me. But, you know, Israeli citizens can feel very alone in the world, particularly when other countries express doubt about Israel's right to protect themselves or even to exist. Supporting the people of Israel is more than just a belief. It is something we consistently do in this country. And here on this program, we partner with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, or ifcj, for just that reason. They're on the ground in Israel every day, blessing lives in real, tangible ways. They're feeding elderly Holocaust survivors who have no one else. They're building bomb shelters to protect schoolchildren from rocket attacks. And when you give a gift of $45 to IFCJ to help provide food, shelter, and more to those in desperate need, you're putting faith into action right where it's needed most. Call 888-488-IFCJ or visit ifcj.org to bless Israel today. Again, that's ifcj.org if you want to go to the website or 888-488-IFCj.
