Federal Spending Cuts & Rescissions with Russ Vogt

Guest: Russ Vogt, Head of the Office of Management and Budget
Timestamp: [32:03]

Vince introduces Russ Vogt, highlighting his pivotal role in executing federal spending cuts through the use of rescissions. The discussion centers around a significant $9 billion rescission package aimed at reducing federal expenditures.

Key Points:

• Rescission Package Details:

  • $1 billion cut to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, targeting NPR and PBS.

• Legislative Process:

  • The House has already approved the package narrowly.

Notable Quote:
Russ Vogt states, “If we can't start and pass on a partisan basis a cut of $9 billion to two things that the country can't stand and honestly, Republican voters can't stand... it is a huge indictment, honestly, of Congress's ability to cut spending.” ([36:35])

Assaults on ICE Agents & Democratic Agitation

Timestamp: [05:00]

Vince shifts focus to the alarming 700% surge in assaults and assassination attempts on ICE agents, attributing this spike to inflammatory rhetoric from Democratic Senators like Cory Booker and Alex Padilla.

  • Vince criticizes the legacy media for downplaying these attacks, suggesting a media bias that favors Democratic narratives.

Notable Quotes:

• Russ Vogt reiterates, “We have $8.3 billion of foreign aid is unnecessary... an invasion is here and it needs to stop.” ([09:05])

• Conspiracy Theories:

  • Vince speculates that Dr. O'Connor's refusal is an attempt to hide the president's alleged cancer diagnosis and mental fitness.

• Potential Solutions:
