We have lived through four years where every time you turned around, they were talking about domestic terrorism. They were calling parents that went to school board meetings as domestic terrorists. They were calling individuals that would stand across the street from a Planned Parenthood and pray for the women and the unborn children, and they would call that domestic terrorism.

I think it is stunning that we are seeing this take place and that Democratic leadership is not standing up and calling out these acts of domestic terrorism. We have lived through four years where every time you turned around, they were talking about domestic terrorism. They were calling parents. that went to school board meetings, domestic terrorists.

They were calling individuals that would stand across the street from a Planned Parenthood and pray for the women and the unborn children, and they would call that domestic terrorism. And now we are going through this where they're actually firebombing and shooting up Tesla dealerships. They are destroying the cars of Tesla owners.

They are stopping people in the middle of the streets that are driving a Tesla and are condemning them for owning those vehicles. And nothing is being said. So we think it's appropriate. that we have the resolution and we give them the opportunity. Members of the U.S.

Senate from each party and the couple of independents that we have, give them the opportunity to stand up and say, we condemn these attacks.

What we have read and what we've heard is that this is something that is quite organized. We know that they are planning for a global day of action against Tesla. And I think it really is quite remarkable when you look at their excuse for doing this. I mean, maybe this is a group of people that just want to go rave on and complain about everything.
Morning Wire

But what we hear is that they are doing this because of their hatred for Donald Trump and their disdain for Elon Musk and his role in setting up the Department of Government Efficiency. And what we know that the Doge efforts are yielding because this is a partnership between Doge and the Doge caucuses in the House and the Senate. And then also the secretaries of the various departments.

We are trying to root out all, all waste, fraud, and abuse that is happening to the taxpayer dollars that are going in to fund and support a federal government structure. It is inappropriate that that fraud would be allowed to continue to exist or that waste would be tolerated. So it is good stewardship of the taxpayer's dollar to root that out.

Now, the leftists have to have a big government structure to survive. That is their mother's milk, if you will. They have got to have government funding because their organizations and their concepts can't survive on their own. And so now that we are cutting off that pipeline of money, they are distraught and you can

Look at the last four years of the Biden administration and the amount of money that went into some of these absurd NGOs, non-governmental entities or nonprofits such as Stacey Abrams, climate justice nonprofit that couldn't raise money on their own. They only had $100 in the bank, but the Biden administration gave them $2 billion.

billion with a B, $2 billion when they had no ability to stand on their own. All that money needs to be clawed back. It needs to be recouped from these entities. It needs to come back to the U.S. Treasury. It needs to be used to pay down our $36 trillion debt. And then we need to remove

all of this, actually codify all of this out of control spending, get it out of the budget and have it gone forever, cut into that baseline and reduce what the federal government spends.

What you'll see us do is this. As we move forward on a reconciliation bill that will make the Trump tax cuts, the 2017 tax cuts, permanent, and then we'll go ahead and we will address some issues like no tax on tips and overtime and Social Security. You'll see those components. Now, what we will be able to do, as we do a reconciliation bill, you will see us do what is called a rescission bill.
Morning Wire

And we will put together a lot of these doge cuts and spending reductions, and that actually cuts that out of the baseline of the budget. This is how we get that baseline down. It is how we get to a pre-COVID level of spending. And then next year, this is what will help us get to President Donald Trump's goal of a balanced budget. which would be a $5.5 trillion budget.

Right now, Biden has it up to a $7.3 trillion budget. So the action of the Senate and the House will be to codify these cuts using the rescission process. The good thing about that is it passes the Senate on a 51-vote margin, not a 60-vote margin.

Yeah, and first of all, I don't think Chuck Schumer's gonna go anywhere. I think he'll probably end up being there. I do believe that what you will see is the Democrats struggle over their footing. They have gone so far left. If you look at the issues that are facing us right now, primarily, they are 80-20 issues, as we call them. 80% of the people are in favor, 20% are opposed.

And when you look at the key issues, securing the southern border, deporting criminal illegal aliens, addressing crime in communities, getting men out of women's sports. ending domestic terrorism, ending two tiers of justice at the DOJ, reducing the size of the federal government, restoring our standing in the world, getting inflation under control.

Those are the things that the American people are talking about. They're 80-20 issues. And lo and behold, here come the Democrats, and they are opposing everything that's being done to secure the border and deport criminal illegal aliens and get inflation down and get men out of women's sports. The list goes on and on. So they're rudderless. They have no message. They have no messenger.

They have no designated leader. So they're pretty much out of the game.

Yes, we will take up my resolution, which condemns these attacks against Tesla. It should be on the floor of the Senate on Thursday. And what this resolution does is to say that the Senate stands against these horrific attacks of violence, destruction, domestic terrorism against Tesla. electric car owners, charging stations, dealerships, maintenance facilities, and condemn this.

We know that Jeffrey Epstein helped develop a global trafficking ring. And by getting this information, it will help us begin to break apart some of this human trafficking, sex trafficking that's taking place around the globe. We understand that human trafficking has become $150 billion a year business.
