Summary

We begin by delving into Trump’s speech last night. What is self-evident is that Trump could crush Democrats in a shutdown or brinksmanship fight over the budget. But sadly, he is pressuring conservatives to vote for the important bills that will fund everything he is promising to cut or reform. We’re joined by the one and only Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), who breaks down the math of the budget proposals to show the cognitive dissonance among Republicans. They cheer the DOGE cuts but then can’t even get behind a proposal that won’t make things worse than under Biden. Massie makes it clear that you can’t complain about inflation and support the current path. Finally, I discuss the ramifications of the Supreme Court ruling on Trump’s executive spending cuts and why he either needs to stand up to the courts or codify his policies in the budget bill.

1:28.5	But if you don't guide it, you'll get some good.
1:31.8	But a lot of that's going to be fleeting.
