Hello, it is, Ryan. And we could all use an extra bright spot in our day, couldn't we? Just to make up for things like sitting in traffic, doing the dishes, counting your steps, you know, all the mundane stuff. That is why I'm such a big fan of Chumba Casino.

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. In the next segment, Brian Mudd in for Clay and Buck Geek out with the guys on the Sunday Hang with Clay and Buck podcast, a new episod.

It's blown up to kingdom come.
Brian Mudd
Yeah, pretty much the left's agenda is blown being blown up. The kingdom in addition to Iran's nuclear program. Prime mud in for Clay and Buck and we have a couple drama queens. The vote is almost completed for the one big, potentially aesthetically pleasing Act 2:16 to 2:14. You have two Republican holdouts right now. Not sure who they are. The the the votes that are. But you have two Republicans if you have one. So a couple of things can happen here. They could either just vote present and not vote and we're good and it's done. Or one of them could vote for it or both or it would take both of them voting no. At this point, the two Republicans who have not yet made their vote known, both of them would have to vote against this in order to to be a tie, not pass. So we are standing by for a couple of drama queens to see what what exactly the play is going to be here. We'll bring you the very latest as it comes down. By the way, we've had all the breaking news we've been covering with the One Big Beautiful Bill act throughout the course of the show today and want to get to your calls as well. Reach out 800-282-2882 and see about getting it. I want to get your thoughts on what you're doing with your family for the Fourth of July. Also, how late is too late to be doing fireworks in my neighborhood? It's a party like the whole week. So like last night there are people like, yeah, where are past midnight last night? How late is too late for fireworks? I'd like to get your thoughts on that one as well. And also alligators, we'll talk about alligator Alcatraz and President Trump's guidance on how to get away from them. We'll do that. Have a little fun before we we wrap up the show today. But yeah, as we are standing by for the One Big Beautiful Bill act final results here, the the bottom line is that what we're looking at right now is unprecedented success. Like our country is on the brink of unprecedented success. You take a look what's going on. We got a relative peace in the Middle East. Hello. For over a week, Israel, Iran, real time. You've got the ceasefire deal. It's being negotiated with Israel and Hamas. All it took was Trump's willingness, you know, drop some mops. It reminds me a lot like his first term. What did he say he was going to do with isis? Remember all the way back, ISIS had established caliphate. You know, Obama said rise up to the Muslim Brotherhood. They did. And so then you, you have ISIS comes out of it. They have their Caliphate. Trump campaign 2016 yeah, I'm going to bomb the blanket ISIS. What happened? ISIS came into power and he bombed the blank out of them. And then things got real peaceful. Things got real peaceful after that. So what happens? 41 years of hearing about Iran's nuclear facilities and MOP 14 of them. And yeah, things get a lot more peaceful a more and maybe even with Hamas. But anyway, so you take a look at at all that success. The NATO summer we were talking about the trade deals and Everything else, it is really setting the stage. Gone are the days, are boots on the ground forever, wars, us paying for everybody else. It's a focus on us and our success. And so much of that Trump's agenda is going to be focused within the one big beautiful bill act, including the thousands of dollars that it saves you. It's an exciting time. Fry mud in for claim bucks. Clay, Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth. Clay, Buck, this is Rob from West Palm.

You don't have to actually run along a far distance to get away from a gator. They only have short distance running ability.
Brian Mudd
If that's even a thing. Yeah. So then a talkback submitted by the way, Clay and buck inside the iHeartRadio app. Tap the microphone. You can leave a message there. I do want to get to the gator thing. We have much bigger news. Uh, the act formerly known as the BBB is a done deal. It has passed. Uh, you did end up having the House of Representatives pass President Trump's agenda. The big beautiful bill will be in President Trump's hands for an Independence Day signing. And you talk about an entire plan coming together. It's not just history that we have seen. Uh, by the way, Brian Mudd in for, for Clay and Buck, and it's not just history that that has been happening here. It, it's history by the day. You know, in, in a lot of ways, you take a look and the Democrats did what you might say were, was some incalculable damage during Biden's time. There's no doubt the inflation damage real and, and there's no one doing that. There's no doubt they're letting you know what, 11, 12, 13, 14 million illegal immigrants into this country, there's incalculable damage associated with that. I mean, stuff is real. But from a policy standpoint, letting President Trump get four years under him to sit there and take a, take a second to figure out, okay, I need the right people in the right places. These are the right people. These are the places they need to be in to work on his policy agenda. Which, by the way, I mean, one of the things that was pretty remarkable, and I'm in the vicinity of President Trump broadcasting here in West Palm, just a few miles from where El Presidente lives when he's not at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. But also we live just south of my wife and I do, just south of the president. And you would see for all those years he's out of office, the constant flow of significant people. And most recently Preceding his presidency, House Speaker Mike Johnson. And heading into this term, the single most important person to Trump from a policy perspective was House Speaker Mike Johnson. You know, you take a look at all the House rebels and everything else, and, you know, the trouble they try to cause and the multiple efforts to throw Mike Johnson overboard. The single biggest reason, independent of your personal thoughts about him, it was really important to have Mike Johnson as the House speaker is President Trump literally had been working on his agenda with him, was ready to hit the ground running with it. And so you take a look at where we are today, where literally every single aspect of President Trump's agenda, from foreign policy to domestic policy, done when he puts his signature on that bill tomorrow. We have never seen anything like this. He has worked at a historic pace. But it's one thing, you know, to work at a historic pace, not get anywhere, but it's another thing when you see President Trump work at the historic pace he's worked at and accomplish every single thing he set out to do. And with next to no margin, with only a few votes he can lose in the Senate, only a few votes that he can lose in the House. I mean, just. It is truly the most remarkable thing that I have seen politically since Reagan carried 49 states in 84, which, by the way, it's still one of those things. Just, you know, I tend to be, you know, kind of like Clayne Black. I like my history. I'm a wonk for sure when it comes to, you know, certain things. It still bugs me that Reagan was within one point in Minnesota of a clean sweep. I mean, just incredible. But anyway, I mean, this is the most impressive thing that we've seen since. Since 84, and one of the most impressive things we've seen in American history. The success that Donald Trump has, has had. And what it does do is, is it sets us up, without a doubt for unprecedented success. I was talking about. Gone are the days, you know, we get in all these stinking forever wars and everything we used to pay for, everybody's military get ripped off that way. Hundreds of billions of dollars a year. We used to get ripped off on trade. Trump was absolutely right about that. Now we are taking in hundreds of billions of dollars a year, and the trade deals are just getting started. We're already on pace to do that. You know, the forever wars. It's just. It's bombing the blank out of ISIS, it's dropping 14 MOP on Iran's nuclear facilities and done. You know, you think back at how close we really were to President Trump having done it all to making America really great again. Like as, as great as it's ever been, you know, perhaps historically, but certainly in our lifetimes. And then you take a look, you know, just before the China virus, remember when we had record low unemployment rates, remember when we had a 4% growth economy, a 1% inflation rate, the best wage growth since the 90s, the lowest crime rates in decades and basically an end that had been put to illegal immigration, along with relative peace and stability around the world. I mean, it's easy to forget that's where we were, you know, heading into 2020, right before the China virus and all the nonsense that went along with it. I mean, that's where we're, we're back there. We're getting back there. I mean, the first many months of the Trump presidency all about just cleaning up the absolute disaster that Biden left this country in a lot of respects, the world in and there's still a lot of that nonsense that has to be cleaned up. But then to move forward the pace he has with his agenda, as again, if you're just joining us, the big beautiful Bill act has passed the House. It's a done deal on its way to President Trump. He'll be able to sign it for an Independence Day celebration, I'm sure, unlike any other for him. So we also get ready for the 250th anniversary of the country coming up next year that he's going to do a years long celebration with. So it's all going to be a festive day tomorrow for, for sure. But it just is a remarkable thing we're seeing and it's a great time to be an American. And a lot of people are making a lot out of the Gallup poll and the pride to be an American effort. It is one of the best times, if not the best time in American history to be an American A lot of fun with that I mentioned speaking of fun, I wanted to want to talk a little bit about the alligator thing and alligator Alcatraz and kind of what Trump had to say about alligators. Also on fireworks and how late is too late to to do fireworks throughout the course of the fourth of July festivities. House Speaker Mike Johnson speaking. The celebration underway. Capitol Hill, the bbb. Let's go to John. Let's go to John in California. John, welcome to the show. How late, how late is too late for fireworks?
Unknown Guest
11 o'. Clock. And the reason why it we have a big field that where everybody parks and it takes at least two hours to get out of the field because dead batteries. I'm a nice guy. I've got a big truck, so I'll pull people out of the mud, you know, so at least two hours, so. Yep.
Brian Mudd
Well, you are a nice guy. Do you. What is your tradition? What do you do for the fourth barbecue?
Unknown Guest
I'm retired Navy and appreciate your service. Every where I live, everybody's either active duty or retired. So we do the barbecue thing.
Brian Mudd
What's your go to steaks? Okay. All right. So you go, you go all in.
Unknown Guest
Ribeye. Ribeye.
Brian Mudd
All right.
Unknown Guest
And catch on fire one time and I just poured my beer on it and put it out and it turns out now everybody wants beer on their steak.
Brian Mudd
So you started the thing, so now you, you got to get the, the beer steak thing going for everybody and got to pull people out of the mud.
Unknown Guest
Yeah. Yep.
Brian Mudd
Well enjoy it tomorrow on both accounts. Appreciate, appreciate listening to Call John. And let's see, we have, we've had Tom, who's patiently been hanging on in Ohio. Tom, welcome to the show. No, you have some thoughts about taxes, too?
Unknown Guest
We're spending a lot of time talking about taxes. And it's time to eliminate the IRS and abolish the IRS and repeal the 16th Amendment. That's the tax. And that way we don't punish achievement, we don't punish success. We also have a lot more taxpayers. That's how you guys down in Florida afford your no income tax, right? You have a lot of sales tax payment.
Brian Mudd
I. Well, yeah, we do. But actually, if you take a look at the relative taxation that stays at the bottom end, too. I think we're like number two or three in total taxation even we factored in. And that's, that's with a lot of people taking advantage of property taxes. A lot of the liberal governments in South Florida. But Tom. No, I appreciate the call. And look, one of the things that's going to be interesting here because, you know, in principle, I'm all the way with you on the abolishing the irs. Course, Trump has talked about potentially abolishing the IRS conceptually on there in the fair tax too. You know, I'm all about a consumption tax. If we actually got to that place, one of the things that we're now going to be in a position to do, right? So it's the. How do you turn, you know, the ship around, the big massive bloated government. Because, you know, the, one of the things about the bbb, you could say it also is maybe the big bloated bill too, right? There, there is a lot of garbage in there. And there's a lot of garbage in there because it's hard to get all these people pulling in the same direction. And, and so here we sit. You know, for me, the thing that bugs me the most about this bill, which, by the way, this needed to happen, getting to this point, get, you have to trust Trump. You know, if nothing else, for the people that are debt and deficit people, I get it. I'm a fiscal conservative. I worry about debts and deficits, too. I am annoyed to no end that we are still going to be paying to have illegal immigrants on Medicaid. But at the same time, if Trump is working aggressively to put an end to the illegal immigrant situation, well, you know, if they're in a detention facility, for example, and, you know, waiting deportation and probably not going to be using Medicaid so much anymore. Right. So you, you kind of work at it from that place, and that's kind of where I'm going with your tax situation. So now that we are here, you get the Trump agenda done. So he has the resources he needs to finish the wall. Trump has the resources he needs for mass deportation and the entire immigration plan. Everything that he has yet been able to put into motion, he is going to be able to do going forward. So now you start taking a look at, okay, what can we make better? What can we make that? And maybe this is where you come back around because you're going to, obviously they're going to work on additional legislation. It's not like they're just going to pack it in on Capitol Hill until, you know, there's new Congress in there. Right, so what are we going to do now? Well, what you do now is you, you take a look at, okay, well, maybe we, maybe we can abolish the irs. You know, one of the things I still think there is a 50, 50 chance the one day you may see Elon Musk break out that Trump was right about everything. Hat I know he's in a very unhappy place. You know, he most recently promised that every single, you know, give conservative. Every person who ran on, you know, like, you know, debts, deficit, lower, you know, smaller government, that kind of thing, that he's going to primary them all. And it's, and he mentioned if it's the last thing on his earth, on this earth that he does it would be to make sure that they are defeated in a primary. Okay, so Elon's in that place right now. I still think it's 50, 50 that sometime before this administration is done. Elon breaks out the Trump was right about everything hat because he has an uncanny ability. Trump does not just to bounce back, but he always wins bigger than where he was. It's his personal life too. If you take a look at Trump's personal life actually mirrors his political career on top of the world, gets knocked down, goes through all all kinds of crap and then comes back and wins even bigger than before. True in an election sense. True in the agenda as well. And so now you get to sit there and focus on these things. So this is where you know, you can go back to your members of Congress go, let's start working on some of this stuff. What about the irs, Department of Education? For me, like, and this is a tough part because, you know, the financial side is the way I'm wired. Department of Education or irs, I mean get rid of them both. But if we could get rid of one man, the Department of Ed. So I want a lot of focus on moving in that direction. Obviously Linda McMahon's job was to put herself out of one and so there are a lot of things legislatively you can focus on now. So this isn't the end. This is just the beginning and it's a great time in American history.

Daddy.
J.R. Martinez
You're my daddy.
Brian Mudd
Yeah. That was an instant classic and a guilty pleasure of mine. Now, of course, that Trump from the NATO summit. You can also say that about a lot of politicians. Brian Mudden for Clayton Buck as the BBB is a done deal on its way to President Trump's desk. Great day in American history. Trump's agenda signed, sealed and delivered by Congress. As you have House leadership speaking right now as they they have a few things to say after you had Hakeem Jeffries do his, his Spartacus impersonation. He's trying to channel his inner Cory Booker and set a magic minute record. So proud of him. Yeah. So Trump, he got what he want, all of what he wanted here before Independence Day. It's an incredible thing. But, yeah, that, of course, Daddy, you're my daddy. That from the NATO summit last week and a lot of fun to be had there. I think there are a lot of people, a lot of people he owns, including, you know, maybe Thomas Massie. As we're hearing from Congressman Jimmy Petronas earlier in the show about maybe a little insight of how things actually went down yesterday, where you had Massie apparently pleading to Trump, just don't beat me up anymore, Mr. Trump. Mr. President, please. So a couple things as we're in a celebratory mood heading into the Independence Day weekend. I mentioned the gator thing. Remember how Trump, he ended up saying, hey, snakes are fast, but alligators, you know, and he was doing the zigzag thing. Not a good idea. Not a good idea. Did you know, while alligators can swim at up to 20 miles an hour, they actually top out at 11. And that that is below the average sprint speed of a human. So you actually probably better running in a straight line. Just little, little addition there for you. By the way, the reputation of gators a lot worse. Although if you're an alligator Alcatraz and you've got to navigate miles of gators, crocs and snakes, hell no. But anyway, have a wonderful Independence Day weekend. Enjoy the heck out of it. President Trump well on his way to making America great again. Again. Congress getting the job done in the 11th hour. So it is wonderful time to celebrate.

Summary of "Hour 3 - A Historic Day for America" on The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show
Released on July 3, 2025
In this pivotal episode of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, host Brian Mudd steps in to navigate listeners through a monumental day in American politics. The focus centers on the passing of the "One Big Beautiful Bill" (BBB), a cornerstone of President Donald Trump's agenda, poised to be signed on Independence Day. This summary delves into the key discussions, insights, and conclusions drawn during the hour-long segment.
Brian Mudd initiates the discussion by announcing the passage of the BBB in the House of Representatives, emphasizing its impending signing by President Trump:
"The BBB is a done deal. It has passed the House and is on its way to President Trump's desk for an Independence Day signing."
(Timestamp: 14:46)
He highlights the significance of this legislative victory, describing it as an unprecedented success that consolidates President Trump's broad policy agenda, encompassing foreign policy, economic reforms, and immigration control.
The conversation shifts to the array of achievements under President Trump's administration over the past year. Brian Mudd enumerates several key areas:
NATO Reforms: Trump successfully renegotiated NATO commitments, reducing U.S. defense spending within the alliance from 68.7% to 5%, holding allies accountable for their fair share. Mudd explains:
"Trump got everybody but Spain to agree to 5%. This means the U.S. can scale back its military spend by $440 billion annually."
(Timestamp: 09:10)
Economic Growth: The administration has seen significant economic improvements, including:
"On an inflation-adjusted basis, wages have grown, and we're doing the best we've seen since before the China virus."
(Timestamp: 10:25)
Foreign Policy Successes: Mudd cites the relative peace in the Middle East, referencing a ceasefire deal negotiated between Israel and Hamas, attributing this to Trump's decisive actions.
"We've achieved relative peace in the Middle East, reminiscent of the successes during Trump's first term."
(Timestamp: 14:00)
A significant portion of the episode discusses recent Supreme Court rulings favoring the Trump administration, particularly in limiting the power of district court judges:
"Last week's Supreme Court ruling smacked down district court judges who thought they were as powerful as the President."
(Timestamp: 12:30)
Brian Mudd elaborates on how these rulings have curtailed 98 out of 316 lawsuits against the Trump administration, showcasing a judicial shift that bolsters executive authority.
The show addresses ongoing immigration challenges and introduces the controversial "Alligator Alcatraz" detention facility:
"The Biden administration allocated FEMA funds for luxury hotel rooms for asylum seekers, but we've repurposed that money to build Alligator Alcatraz, the country's largest detainment and deportation facility."
(Timestamp: 06:45)
Mudd criticizes the previous administration's handling of asylum seekers, emphasizing the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the new facility in managing illegal immigration.
Discussion turns to the economic impact of revamped trade agreements under the Trump administration, projecting substantial savings and revenue through tariffs:
"With new trade deals, we're taking in hundreds of billions of dollars annually, addressing the deficits that the previous administration couldn't overcome."
(Timestamp: 11:50)
Brian Mudd underscores how these measures contribute to reducing the national debt and fostering economic growth, aligning with fiscal conservative principles.
Looking ahead, Mudd outlines potential legislative priorities post-BBB:
Tax Reform: Advocating for the abolition of the IRS and the repeal of the 16th Amendment to implement a consumption-based tax system.
"Eliminating the IRS would prevent the punishment of achievement and success, aligning with our fiscal conservative values."
(Timestamp: 28:50)
Department of Education: Proposing the dissolution of the Department of Education to streamline government functions.
"Getting rid of the Department of Education would further reduce governmental overreach and inefficiency."
(Timestamp: 29:15)
Brian Mudd expresses optimism about future policies, drawing parallels between Trump's political resilience and historical figures like Ronald Reagan.
The latter part of the episode features calls from listeners, discussing topics such as:
Fireworks Regulations: A listener from California debates the appropriate time to end fireworks displays.
"How late is too late for fireworks? I think 11 o'clock is reasonable because it takes hours to clear the field."
(Timestamp: 27:31)
Fourth of July Traditions: Celebrations and personal anecdotes about Independence Day festivities.
As the show wraps up, Brian Mudd reiterates the historic nature of the day's achievements and encourages listeners to celebrate Independence Day with a sense of patriotism and optimism for America's future.
"It is one of the best times, if not the best time in American history to be an American. Enjoy the heck out of it!"
