We're approaching a trillion dollars a year. A trillion dollars a year. I mean, the next closest is China at $240 billion. I mean, do we really need four times China? Maybe not. Again, I'm an old school, more hardcore person. balanced budget type guy, but that may not be realistic. But I really love the politics that's playing out right now because I can't wait to see what Chuck Schumer does.
On interest. Servicing the debt. $720 billion a year. Of almost every country in the world, yeah. Just the interest, yeah.
Can I throw a little thing in this very, very quickly? So when Trump reduces inflation, when Trump reduces inflation, this is a good thing because it reduces our cost to carry that debt. It brings the interest rates down.

Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
Hey, Charlie, it was the best speech I've ever heard by a great president who's given many great speeches before. He not only broke the record for the longest speech, a speech before a joint address, but he owned the Democrats. They looked foolish. They look, they look stupid sitting on their hands, not clapping for what the president talked about in so many ways, making this country great again.
They don't love our country like we do. And they proved it last night and their reaction was, It was a great night for the president, a great night for America, for Republicans. And we're just a short time into this second term for this president. We have a long ways to go, a lot more winning to come.
Well, it's a sickness on their part. I mean, they they hate this president so much that they won't get up and clap for a 13 year old boy. A very special moment that President Trump created last night. Every one of them should have been on their feet. And Charlie, let me say this.
When Joe Biden walked out and when they announced the President of the United States of America before the State of the Unions on his watch, every Republican got up and clapped, not for Joe Biden, but for the position of the President of the United States of America. Those Democrats sat on their hands. They disrespected the president. They disrespected our country.
And in that case, they disrespected the life of a 13-year-old boy. I'll tell you what, one moment I saw, because I was on the far right side, on the Republican side, and I could see the Democrats across the House chamber, and I saw one senator, when President Trump talked about capturing the terrorist who was the mastermind behind the Abbey Gate attack that killed 13 of our heroes,
And by the way, none of the Democrats clapped for that either. I mean, how can you not clap for that? I saw one Democrat look to the Democrat to his right and say, we should stand up. You could see him mouthing it. We should be standing up. And they were all shaking their heads. No, we have to stay seated. That's how foolish these Democrats are.
There is not a line that came out of President Trump's mouth last night that 75% or more of Americans don't agree with. There was nothing controversial last night that he said. He was speaking to the American people. Everything that came out of his mouth was something that the majority of Americans agree with, and the Democrats wouldn't stand up for it. Donald Trump has broken the Democrat Party.
They are beyond repair, and just how foolish they looked last night is something that's going to linger over them for a long time to come.
President Trump went on to say it turns out that we didn't need a we didn't need a bill. We just needed a new president. And we got that in Donald Trump after he took the. Oath of office, secure the border, go back to the remain in Mexico policy. It works. All it took was him being back in office. Trump kept making this point last night, looking at the Democrats.
They're responsible for the mess at the border. They backed up the worst president in American history for four years. And that's why we have the travesty, the biggest humanitarian crisis at the border ever, the wide open border, fentanyl killing Americans. all the crime that came with it. It's all the Democrats' fault, and they know it. That's why all they could do was jeer last night.
Well, the first thing has to be to extend the Trump tax cuts on working class families. President Trump talked about that last night. Democrats, again, stayed seated. Republicans stood and cheered because the tax cuts are on working class families and small businesses. It was a mistake in 2017 when Paul Ryan and those others in charge of the House and the Senate made decisions.
corporate tax rates permanent, but didn't make the individual tax rates permanent on working class families. That's what we have to start with. President Trump brought it up. Republicans are unified behind it. It has to happen in the next few weeks in the reconciliation bill. That's where we have to start.
But then we have to fund ICE to deport illegal criminals out of our country and back up the efforts to build the wall and secure the border. That's all part of the One big, beautiful bill, the reconciliation package that's going to come out of the Congress soon. Republicans are united more than ever before. You saw it last night on the floor.
But we have to unite behind that piece of legislation to get it done.
Well, the golden age of America has just begun. Last night, I was so proud of our president. The best speech I've ever heard him give. But it also reminds me that we have almost four years. We can't waste a single day. I saw President Trump after the speech. He was upbeat. And he makes that point to Republicans all the time. Do not waste a single day. Let's get it done.
