Fox News is in meltdown mode as MAGA Republican senators are basically saying this budget bill that Donald Trump is calling a big, beautiful bill is an utter, utter disaster. Let me show you what went down when you had MAGA Republican Senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin on Fox Business yesterday play this clip.
But the tax bill, will we get it before Memorial Day? No, no, there's no way, because again, unfortunately, President Trump chose the one big, beautiful bill. What he should have done is the multiple step process. I suggested three steps. Get the border funding. Second step, just extend current tax law. So we take an automatic. Will we get it before the end of the year? Quickly.
Not if we don't come down with a reasonable pre-pandemic level spending. There's enough of us in the Senate that will not agree to that. Oh boy, that's bad news. Senator, thank you for that. Appreciate it. Have a good weekend. Appreciate you coming on. You too.
You have one job in Congress. It would be nice if you actually passed legislation that help people, but you can't do that. You pass a budget, not these ridiculous continuing resolutions that carry out the budget of Nancy Pelosi while you have Doge violate the Constitution. You heard Ron Johnson there in his own words, basically saying the entire budget process has been utterly, utterly destroyed.
But when you live in MAGA fake fantasy lie world all the time, the truth doesn't even matter. All that matters is you continue your Ponzi scheme, your rug pull until catastrophe strikes. So you remember how when the GDP numbers this past week came out and our economy was contracting, it was negative 0.3% GDP. Remember all of Trump and JD and everybody in Fox were saying, this is the Biden economy.
Biden is destroying everything right now. Even though former president Biden had record job growth, GDP increasing, 16.2 million jobs, record low unemployment. I can go on and on and on. There was a decent jobs report, not like a, didn't blow it out of the water, but the jobs report was fine, 177,000 jobs. Good, good. We want there to be jobs. Now, what do you think the response was on Friday?
This is the Trump economy. This shows everything we said. Things are great. Here, play this clip.
This is a very important report. With all of the hysteria over tariffs, we know that jobs are being created, and it is much better than expected. At 177,000 jobs added to the economy in April, this proves Donald Trump's point that the economy is doing well.
No, like literally at the exact same time you're doing that, your messaging is mixed, right? You have J.D. Vance interviewing with Brett Baer saying, oh, the economy is bad because of Biden, while they have other people on Fox saying the economy is doing great now because of Trump. Can you even? All they do is they lie about everything. They just flood the zone with lies. Watch this.
