Thank you. And it's going to be on YouTube and it's on all the podcast platforms and it's five parts. And we'd love people to get behind it because a lot of people really are not that into free speech these days.
You're seeing election results bear out that Europeans are fed up with the status quo, the bureaucrats in Brussels, the overregulation, the overtaxation, the fact that they're clamping down on free speech. They're doing nothing to address the unchecked migration that's jeopardizing security and jobs.

We're seeing it right now play out in the trade relationship that President Trump has been negotiating with the EU and recent developments that are happening as recently as the last few hours, where they're saying that now by early July, they have a goal of getting a framework in place.

Yeah, good morning, guys. Certainly the biggest news of the week is that early yesterday morning, the House of Representatives passed a comprehensive tax and budget package, what the president has been calling the Big Beautiful Bill. This was a huge win for President Trump, who pushed congressional Republicans to pass a single bill rather than several smaller pieces of legislation.

It's perhaps an even bigger win for House Speaker Mike Johnson, who not only rallied his caucus to this seemingly impossible task, but did so by his self-imposed Memorial Day deadline, which many people thought was impossible. The bill passed the House 215 to 214, with every Democrat voting no and a handful of Republicans dissenting as well.

The legislation now goes to the Republican-controlled Senate, who Trump hopes will wrap things up by July 4th.

Well, John, what isn't in this bill? Russ Vogt, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, joked yesterday that there was so much good stuff in the legislation, it was impossible for him to single out the most important part.

Votes write that there's almost too much to cover, but let me do my best. The bill raises the debt limit by $4 trillion and funds Trump's priorities on border security, energy, and national defense. It extends the 2017 Trump tax cuts, which are set to expire at the end of the year. It also defunds Planned Parenthood and blocks federal dollars from funding transgender procedures and more.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Here's former Trump senior economic advisor Steve Moore speaking about the bill shortly after it passed.

Yeah, Trump hosted South African President Cyril Ramaphosa in an Oval Office meeting. They wanted to talk tariffs, trade, and more. Remember, this came on the heels of the White House welcoming 59 white South African farmers to the United States. Those farmers claim they're fleeing an anti-white genocide in their home country, something the South African government strongly denies.

But Trump came prepared to have that conversation with Ramaphosa, at one point dimming the lights in the Oval Office to play videos of anti-white rhetoric in South Africa.
