Chapter 1: What are the key points of Trump's budget bill?

4.215 - 9.478 Elon Musk

The Senate takes up debate on Trump's budget bill, while Musk raises concerns over massive debt.

0

10.279 - 15.242 Thomas Massey

With all due respect, my friend Elon is terribly wrong about the one big beautiful bill.

0

15.742 - 17.824 Tim Pierce

Will the upper house be able to compromise?

0

18.284 - 25.368 Elon Musk

I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley. It's Thursday, June 5th, and this is Morning Wire.

31.408 - 36.891 Tim Pierce

Ahead of Pride Month, the Trump White House announced that June will be dedicated to highlighting the protection of women's spaces.

37.452 - 44.616 Rand Paul

Parents can certainly rest comfortably knowing that the men would not be allowed in women's sports.

45.036 - 50.6 Elon Musk

And two Chinese nationals have been arrested for smuggling a dangerous pathogen into the United States.

51.22 - 54.302 Tim Pierce

Thanks for waking up with Morning Wire. Stay tuned. We have the news you need to know.

55.6 - 75.463 John Bickley

111.679 - 118.304 Tim Pierce

Elon Musk made waves this week with his criticism of President Trump's big, beautiful bill, and budget hawks couldn't be happier.

0

118.669 - 126.892 Elon Musk

Here with the latest on the budget battle is Daily Wire Deputy Managing Editor Tim Rice. So Tim, Elon issued a pretty harsh critique of this budget bill.

0

127.318 - 143.41 Mary Margaret Olihan

Yeah, that's right, Georgia. Musk, who, let's remember, just stepped back from his government post last week, said Tuesday that the bill was, quote, a disgusting abomination. Republicans who oppose the bill, like Congressman Thomas Massey and Senator Rand Paul, quickly joined Elon in slamming the bill.

0

143.95 - 159.243 Mary Margaret Olihan

Utah Senator Mike Lee took a slightly different tack, saying that the bill that passed the House was flawed and that it was on the Senate to fix it. And Democrats even joined the fight with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, highlighting the fact that even Trump's buddy doesn't like his spending bill.

159.823 - 167.751 Georgia Howe

Even Elon Musk, who's been part of the whole process, and as Trump's buddy says the bill is bad, you can imagine how bad this bill is.

168.561 - 175.786 Mary Margaret Olihan

But plenty of people rushed to defend the bill as well, including the two men most responsible for its passage. First up is House Speaker Mike Johnson.

176.607 - 184.452 Thomas Massey

We had a long conversation yesterday. He and I spoke for, I think, more than 20 minutes on the telephone. And I extolled all the virtues of the bill. And he seemed to understand that.

185.453 - 203.713 Mary Margaret Olihan

Trump also defended the bill, but stopped just short of slamming Elon, instead turning his ire on Rand Paul, saying, quote, Rand votes no on everything, but never has any practical or constructive ideas. His ideas are actually crazy losers. The people of Kentucky can't stand him. This is a big growth bill.

During the Biden administration, the White House put a heavy emphasis on Pride Month. But this year, under Trump, things are looking a lot different.

0

403.626 - 416.14 Tim Pierce

Joining us to discuss the new approach is Daily Wire White House correspondent Mary Margaret Olihan. Hey, Mary Margaret. So major changes this go around as it relates to the month of June. How is Washington responding to Pride Month this year?

416.38 - 433.768 Mike Johnson

Well, good morning, John. It is indeed June here in Washington, D.C., the month where you will see pretty much every office building and restaurant littered with pride flags all month. Under President Joe Biden's administration, the White House issued a big pride proclamation celebrating Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Intersex Pride Month.

433.968 - 451.093 Mike Johnson

And as part of those efforts to promote gender ideology, they hosted a now infamous Pride celebration on the White House lawn where trans-identifying activists drew some serious backlash for posing for topless photos and videos right there on the White House lawn as they mingled with former President Joe Biden and former First Lady Jill Biden.

451.613 - 468.099 Mike Johnson

This year, however, things are looking a little different. We broke the news earlier this week that the Department of Education is declaring June Title IX month instead of Pride month. And that's not all. We also exclusively broke that the Education Department's Office of Civil Rights is investigating two huge cases that developed under Biden.

468.28 - 470.781 Mike Johnson

Here's Secretary McMahon breaking down these investigations.

471.701 - 492.252 Rand Paul

We've opened investigations into the state of Wyoming and into Colorado for violations of their Title IX program in Wyoming. It was relative to a sorority in college, and the sorority was allowing female-identifying members to be part of their sorority.
