Roger Stone concludes his remarks by discussing upcoming "rescission bills" aimed at cutting $98.4 billion from USAID. He acknowledges that while these cuts are smaller than what DOGE identified, they represent a start in "turning around an ocean liner." Stone reiterates that Speaker Mike Johnson has a difficult task managing a slim majority and that the BBB's tax cuts are essential.

Roger Stone joins the program to analyze the "Big Beautiful Bill," which has faced criticism from Elon Musk and Senator Rick Scott for lacking spending cuts. Stone explains that while the bill contains the largest tax cuts in history, the DOGE-related spending cuts must be handled through separate rescission bills. He warns that failing to renew Trump-era tax cuts would result in a 65% federal tax increase for Americans.

Elon Musk expresses disappointment with the lack of "DOGE" spending cuts in the latest congressional bill. The host blames "feckless" Republicans like Mike Johnson for failing to codify government efficiency measures despite their popularity with voters. The segment alleges that D.C. politicians are resisting these cuts because they fear investigations into where trillions of dollars in fraudulent spending actually went.

A proposal for massive tax cuts for Canadian citizens is discussed as a way to liberate them from an elite globalist system. Mark Carney indicates a commitment to a "step change" in Canadian security investment and a stronger partnership within NATO and NORAD. The strategy involves using U.S. leverage to force deals that benefit both American and Canadian populations.

The discussion focuses on the "Schumer Shutdown," with Dr. Elliott predicting a high probability of the government closing on Friday. The House spending bill includes a $6 billion increase for defense and $13 billion in domestic cuts, which Democrats are resisting. Elliott posits that Democrats are afraid of their own radical base, led by figures like AOC, who demand total opposition to Trump's agenda.

Elon Musk spoke at Madison Square Garden about the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), claiming he could cut at least $2 trillion from the federal budget. Musk emphasized that all government spending is ultimately taxation through inflation or direct levies. He urged the audience to vote early and help create a margin of victory too large for the election to be contested.

Representative Pramila Jayapal argued on CNN that public support for spending cuts actually reflects a desire for higher taxes on the wealthy. She claimed that tax cuts for corporations should be classified as government spending, a statement met with skepticism by the interviewer.
