RINOs: Corrupt As Democrats

President Donald Trump has promised to team up with Congressional Republicans to pass a “big, beautiful bill,” chock full of campaign promises, like “no tax on tips,” “no tax on overtime,” and major spending cuts. But as the bill’s progress drags on, are the Republicans to blame, is Trump starting to compromise too much and will he allow Democrats to increase taxes for the rich?

Trump’s Director of the Office of Management and Budget Russell Vought joins Glenn Beck to address the criticism. He discusses what Trump’s real strategy is, whether the bill will restore government spending to 2019 levels, how DOGE has been helping, whether the bureaucracy will actually shrink, and whether Congress will codify any of Trump’s policy changes. Here’s more from Blaze TV.

Musk Vs. The Swamp

The media are FURIOUS that Elon Musk is quickly dismantling “USAID.”

But I say it’s a good start! The agency spends $40 billion a year — often on dumb things.

More cuts will also be needed. John Stossel captures the story.

(EDITOR’S NOTE: Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who oversees USAID, announced Thursday night that he will  lay off 13,706 employees from the agency, leaving only a core staff of 294 staff members. It’s not clear if those 294 will be absorbed into the State Department or if USAID will even exist any longer.)

Speaker In Hot Water With GOP

H.A. Goodman reports that Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s victory lap over the passage of the recent debt-ceiling bill may be short-lived.

Goodman says the deal upset Freedom Republicans, who argued the deal should have enacted deeper spending cuts and shorter borrowing limits. He foresees Republicans beginning no-confidence proceedings in the near future against McCarthy. Says Goodman, “The next big test for McCarthy will be if you see more Democrats than Republicans voting on the next big bill in the House, then you will see no-confidence proceedings and an attempt to remove him.” Here’s his report.
