We took the FEMA money that Joe Biden allocated to pay for the free luxury hotel rooms where he's paying hundreds of millions of dollars in New York City. And we used it to build this project. Yeah, that the President talking about Alligator Alcatraz. So the way that deal had worked is that under the Biden administration, you would. An illegal immigrant, I'm sorry, an asylum seeker that would sidle up to a, a border patrol agent across the southern border and would go a essay this where I say asylum. And you would have a, a beaten down border patrol agent that would take a look at the individual and go, yeah, you said the magic a word because they became magic a word. People, you know, you just, you say asylum and that's. You're good. And like, hand a brochure over to said asylum seeker. You're like, all right, choose. Choose your accommodations in the United States. Only the best for you. The asylum seeker at the expense of the American people. And you would have the, the illegal immigrants. I'm sorry, the asylum seeker going about the five star in Manhattan. And so that five star in Manhattan just became a ticket to Alligator Alcatraz. And that's what Trump is talking about. The money the Biden administration have been allocating so we could do things like, you know, pay $500 a night to, to house illegal immigrants in Manhattan. Now it's been reallocated in eight days to put together the country's largest detaining, detainment and deportation facility. And so we'll talk a little bit before the end of the show about Alligator Alcatraz, Brightmud in Fort Clay and Buck. And we really are getting ready for the vote on the one big beautiful bill act, the President's agenda. House Speaker Mike Johnson just wrapped it up. The vote is being called in. So it does look like before the end of the show, we might have that vote for you. In the breaking news about the BBB being on the way to President Trump's desk in time to sign for Independence Day. And that'll be, no doubt, another monumental victory. By the way, I am talking to you from my home station, WJNO in West Palm Beach. It is a honor and a pleasure to be here with you. Catch me socially at Brian Mudd Radio, and you can always catch the Brian Mud show podcast wherever you get your podcast. So as we take a look out the. The votes, they are rolling in quickly. We might. Yeah, looks like we're going to have a vote in here pretty quickly. Unless you do end up getting a couple of drama queens. We shall see. Think everybody's kind of tired from sitting there all night. But as we take a look towards this monumental victory for President Trump, having his agenda delivered to him, you think about just the past couple weeks and started the show by talking about where we are today compared to a year ago. I mean, just incredible how different. There have been so many monumental victories for President Trump. When you hear Trump himself talking up a monumental victory, you might be left wondering, which one is he talking about? Maybe he's talking about ending Iran's nuclear program in the related war. Maybe he's talking about getting NATO country NATO, as Biden would have said, NATO countries to pay their fair share for military defense under the alliance. By the way, I did a whole analysis on this deal. How much do you think that actually is going to save us once NATO? Because again, it's just all numbers. It's kind of like the, the tax policy here. You just hear some numbers thrown out there and it's like, I don't know what that really means to me. Well, this means thousands to you and your family. What's getting ready to be voted on right now. But beyond that, when you take a look at the NATO thing, okay, so Trump got everybody but Spain to get along with 5%. What does that mean? So the United States had been paying 68.7% of the defense spend of NATO. And what that tends to be spun, too, because people will say, no, no, the NATO budget, the NATO budget is different than defense spending by country. And what had happened for well over 70 years in NATO pretty much since its founding is that it was abused by every single one of our allies. Because under NATO, if any country is attacked, it. It is acted upon as though it's an attack on every one of the NATO members. Every one of them were like, shoot us. Has it? We're not gonna worry about building up our defense. Why would we? Number one, we're probably not gonna be hit because, you know, nobody wants to mess with the US and secondarily, I mean, look, they're, they're going to pay for all the defense. And so that's how we became everybody's defense. That's how this thing happened. NATO is the reason that, that we have been screwed playing the world's policemen for over 70 years. When you hear Trump getting them to 5%, it's not just like he picked a number and said, yeah, do that. That is how much to get them on a population adjusted basis to where they'll, they'll be paying their fair share of it. Now, except for Spain. Spain was the one holdout. And, and Trump is like, yeah, that's going to work for them. When it comes to Spain's trade deal, we're going to charge them twice as much as everybody else so that, that part won't work out for Spain in the end either. Maybe they'll say, Uncle 5%. So that means 440 billion annually. To give you an idea, 68.7% of the spend on defense in the NATO alliance, the US population is 35% of NATO. When you take a look at how much money it is to us on an annualized basis, we would be able to scale back our military spend. The point where they have ramped up by $440 billion a year. Again, as we take a look at the debt and deficit and all these things with the bbb and nothing with any of the CBO projections or anybody else's projections factor in money from tariffs, where we're now getting hundreds of billions of dollars a year in tariff money coming in. None of it factors in the increased growth. But it also doesn't factor in, hey, you know what? Going forward, we're not going to need to spend as much money on defense to be the world's policeman. And that can be hundreds of billions of dollars a year. So these are all things that in time can be handled because Trump is fixing all the other things that we've been screwed on around the world. And so anyway, I digress. As we're going through Trump's monumental victories, that just, that's something that is really important that's been really overlooked just beyond, hey, Trump got what he wanted with NATO. You could be talking about the, the Chinese, the UK The Vietnam trade deals coming together. I talked about how significant all that stuff was earlier. Could be talking about the S&P 500 NASDAQ reaching record highs. You know, maybe Trump's monumental victory just the Economy generally. I mean, we are doing the best. You know, mentioned the first hour of the show when you, on an inflation adjusted basis, you take a look at wages, you take a look at inflation. We are doing the best on average, we've done since he was last president, since before the China virus. But of course, the act formally named the Big Beautiful Bill is without a doubt a monumental win that he looks to sign tomorrow on Independence Day as planned. But when President Trump actually was talking about monumental wins, all of those things that have happened incredibly just over the past two weeks, it was when he was talking about the United States Supreme Court. Because the other big wins, of course, at the Supreme Court recently, and as Trump said last Friday, the Supreme Court delivered a monumental victory for the Constitution, the separation of powers and the rule of law. And they did. This is importance. We've already seen some of the legal shenanigans. This came into play yesterday. That's starting to come out of this. But just got to break this down for you a little bit. So with that Supreme Court ruling last week, smacking down district court judges who thought they were as powerful as the President of the United States, the, the anti American post constitutional district court judges to date, you know how many lawsuits there have been that have been filed against the Trump administration? We're like 160 some odd days, 164 days into his presidency at this point, 316 lawsuits that have been filed against the Trump administration, or in other words, we get about two of those a day and only 12 of them have been closed. So that is how absurd all this stuff is on its face. 360 lawsuits, only 12 have been closed. As you have all these left wing groups, the leftist activists in robes that pretend that they, they could be the, the president. I'm Boasberg, I'm, I'm as powerful as Trump. But it was always an insane argument. And nevertheless, the, the leftist activists in robes with TDS had partially or fully blocked 98 of President Trump's executive actions, by the way, another 75 cases were pending at the time that the Supreme Court made their ruling last Friday. Or in other words, you had more cases out outstanding than even Trump orders that hadn't been challenged legally. How many of those unconstitutional nationwide injunctions were issued? 40. Forty of them had been issued. And here's the next piece of this, right? So the tyranny of the district court judges, the play that was left open by the Supreme Court's ruling, there are a couple of them, but the class action lawsuit and so We've already seen this yesterday. It was illustrated by Obama appointed District Court Judge Randolph Moss, who ruled that President Trump's order preventing attempted asylum seeking at the border. You have the people who go a essay. That's where I say asylum. And now the border patrol agents go, Jack, you're sol. You, you get your, you take your butt back to Tijuana. We'll see in. I don't know, we have like seven years on asylum hearings right now. So it doesn't work out quite the same way anyway that, that's why even attempts are down by 93% over a year ago. But anyway, so you have the judge that's trying to bring back the magic A word, people, where all you have to do, no matter where you're from, is get to the southern border and say that you're a word and do you get to come in? You got to stay here until you get a hearing and then you never even show up for that hearing and you just disappear and you magically end up with the help of local groups, get on government assistance programs. Maybe we'll even get you a Social Security number along the way too. Have been done for over 2 million people that lack legal status under the Biden administration. But anyway, so yeah, the new legal tactic is in play. It was first used yesterday. We're gonna have to wait and see this, by the way, that as they're attempting a class action lawsuit this way. That judge's ruling has been stayed for 14 days. The Trump administration is appealing. So that is gonna be the next thing to watch here. But yeah, the battle never ends. When you take a look though, at the most impressive aspect of what's coming together with President Trump's agenda here, as you have all the victories, the foreign victories on the battlefield and also in diplomacy, you have his economic victories that we've already seen. You have the immigration agenda that has already been acted upon and now you have the BBB coming together is that by Independence Day, the whole agenda is coming together as we watch the votes. We're going to have the latest on the House vote here coming up. We may have may have a final rolling in.
