The Don Lemon Show · HOT TOPICS | Trump Keeps Failing, What A Loser! - June 5th, 2025 · 5 Jun 2025 podcast

You see, John, if we do not pass our one big beautiful bill, then we negotiate with Democrats, essentially nine Democrats, that simply raises spending to get us to where we get the tax cuts

that we save them where they ought to be.

So it is no question about it, not a perfect battle for us.

Well, it's going to go through the Senate, and we're going to find out what the Senate wants to do, and then we're going to make the final vote.

I don't want to have any deficit spending, but what I'm trying to suggest to you is that we are stuck in a paradigm where we have to pass this ourselves.

And as you know, there are lots of arguments about raising state and local taxes to where

we had members that are in what might be called blue states.

So it's a balance there.

That is maybe almost a trillion dollars.

And so what we're trying to do is balance out where the American people get jobs and job creation.

We really don't want to see people just leave these blue states because of taxes that they can't afford their property.

So it is not a perfect world, John.

Well, if we actually go to $2.4 trillion after what the Senate does, then I think we're going to have to look at how we're going to come in and do something about that.

But remember, what we did is we compromised people.

So what did Elon say about it?

He said, I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore.

This massive, outrageous, pork-filled congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination.

Shame on those who voted for it.

You know you did wrong.
