Trump’s High-Risk Bet For The Big Beautiful Bill
(00:00.975)
think I got this big, beautiful bill. I think I finally figured this thing out. There was a card game we used to play when we were kids down at my grandmother’s house down in Port Ritchie, Florida. was called hearts. In the game of hearts, the hearts are bad. You’re not trying to get any points. And the queen of spades is even worse because she’s 13 points. However, however, you could win the game if you got
all of the hearts and the queen of spades. It was called shooting the moon. And obviously it is in cards that is a super high risk strategy to win that game. And I think that’s what Trump is doing right now. He’s just saying, essentially, we’re just going to try to put the pedal to the metal on the economy. I’m going to yell.
the Federal Reserve Chair, we’re going to try to get race down. We’re just going to supercharge this thing, baby. We’re going to shoot the moon. That’s where we’re at at this point in time. It can’t be anything else. mean, first and foremost, tried with Elon Musk, tried Doge cuts, tried to cut spending. That failed.
They still haven’t even voted on the lousy $9 billion that they came up with, what was that, about a month ago. Still haven’t even voted on that. And the war in Ukraine, that didn’t happen. Screw this! I need some winning around here, some real winning around here. But anyway, the drama in regards to this bill, it’s kind of funny. You gotta see what type of people you’re dealing with. Alaskan…
Senator Lisa Murkowski, she was a no on the bill until they put a carve out in the bill that would have exempted Alaska from all the work requirements with SNAP and Medicaid, also throw in some tax cuts for fishermen in there. Then she voted yes. And as it turns out, I guess the Senate parliamentarian yanked that. Who knows what’s going to happen next? Welfare for illegals? It’s in the bill.

Funding for sex changes for children. Republicans couldn’t even get rid of that. As far as the polls are concerned at this point in time, the general public, 37 % are in favor of this bill. Only 43 % of Republicans. And yes, the Republican party, Republican party that for, you know, they always.
talk a big game when it comes to controlling government spending, raised the debt ceiling by $5 trillion. $5 trillion. You gotta make a suggestion, okay? You gotta sit down with your kids or your grandkids and try to explain to them a trillion. Just do it.
Yeah, play with numbers. There’s all sorts of cool websites out there just to get your arms around that number and then multiply that by five. The debt costs as it turns out, but we’re looking at this thing is it’s going to be eating up most of the budget and the kicker. This is the kicker. One of the things in order to get this bill through reconciliation,
Reconciliation is where it can just pass by a simple majority. If it was not reconciliation, what would have to happen is it would have to get 60 votes. They have to make sure that it doesn’t increase. I think it’s a certain budget number. I don’t know what the exact number is over a 10-year window period of time. They did some, I mean, this is some classic, I mean, this is actually worse than Enron accounting. Actually worse.
Lindsey Graham took out his Enron Magic Wand and waved it over the bill. And all of a sudden, because they’re extending the tax cuts from 2017, they don’t count in any sort of way against the budget. That’s it. They actually did that with a straight face.

That’s where we’re at at this point in time. Donald Trump is saying screw it. Screw it. Let’s put the economy, let’s turbocharge this baby. We’re gonna grow our way out of this $37 trillion in debt. think so. Watch Dog on WallStreet.com.
