All right, so it's no secret that Elon Musk is slamming Republicans for slow walking the Doge cuts.
Also, the Nashville mayor was caught doxing ice agents, and a Texas congressman is claiming that the Ten Commandments are harmful to children in the classroom.
Well, Mr. Speaker, speaking of Doge, Elon Musk taking issue on whether this can be both big and beautiful.
Listen.
You know, I was, like, disappointed to see the massive spending vote, frankly.
which increases the budget deficit, if not just decrease it,
and our minds the work that the Doge team is doing.
I think a bill can be big or it can be beautiful,
but I don't know if it can be both.
So how do you respond to his concerns about it?
Yes, I sent my good friend Elon a long text messages last night
explaining that it can be both big and beautiful, okay?
So what I wanted to make sure that he understands is that the projection that he's referring to
in others is from the CBO, the congressional budget office.
They are historically, totally unreliable.
It's run by Democrats.
84% of the number crunchers over there are donors to big Democrats.
They don't have our best interest in mind, and they've always been off.
By way of example, they were off on their projections of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in the
first Trump administration by $1 trillion.
The problem is they do not use what we call dynamic scoring.
What that means in layman's terms is they don't give us any credit for the extraordinary economic
growth that will be spurred along by this bill.
This is a pro-growth package.
Okay, well, even if you believe what Speaker Mike Johnson is saying,
the question still remains,
where is the pieces of legislation to codify Doge cuts,
even if you guys can't vote on them,
even if you can't vote on them yet due to procedural issues,
it was just, okay, let's understand something right up front.
This entire story frustrates me the most.
Even if we believe what Speaker Mike Johnson is saying,
It still does not excuse the fact that we've yet to see any pieces of legislation proposed,
just proposed, to codify the doge cuts.
There's been no debate on it.
No committees have voted on it.
There's been talk, but no action.
And then on the White House side, this is a legitimate criticism.
Why hasn't the president sent a rescission package to Congress?
Oh, here we go.
They say, well, we have to wait for the big, beautiful bill to pass.
okay even if that's true
why am I and others on social media
talking more about doge cuts
than the administration and Republicans
can someone please make sense of that
now he continues to say this
lower tax rates less regulation
we'll do exactly what we did in the first Trump
administration but this time on steroids
and so we're going to have an extraordinary growth
in the economy you're going to have more jobs created
higher wages more labor participation
and all those things need to be factored in
because that's reality and by the way
The CBO's giving no credence whatsoever, no calculation at all, to the new revenues that are being produced by the Trump tariff policies and all these other things that are happening.
So we believe we're going to get the economy going, and this is going to be deficit reducing at the end of the day.
It matters how you do the math, and that's what's important for everybody to remember.
Okay, so listen, the story isn't what Speaker Johnson had to say there.
The story is what mainstream media wants you to believe about Elon Musk departing as a special government employee, which ended the other day.
and he does not have a falling out with President Trump, even though that's what they want you to believe.
But he is frustrated, just like I am, and I'm sure you are, at Republicans.
It's like they still won't do anything even when they're in power.
So let's take a look at ground news to go over the facts about this story.
If you guys want to follow along, go to ground.com.
News 4 slash DeVore, where this tool will show us what both sides are saying.
Let's start with the point that stings the most, in my opinion.
knowing that we have at a minimum a $2 trillion deficit every year, pay attention to this.
During his tenure must focus on cutting government inefficiencies and anticipated $150 billion
of savings, $150 billion out of $2 trillion.
Just chew on that a little bit.
Now here's what Speaker Johnson had to say about the Big Beautiful Bill because he says
we're going to see a lot of savings in that.
Take a look.
Here is the fact that we are achieving the largest amount of savings in the history of government
on planet Earth. I mean, we're going to save over $1.5 trillion in spending. That's a big,
big thing. We didn't get in this economic situation overnight, and it's going to take us a while
to get out of it, but this would be the biggest, largest dramatic turn that we've ever had in
Congress. And so it's a big achievement. Now, look, this is just the beginning. This is not
the end. This is the first of what we believe will be multiple reconciliation packages, and we'll
be codifying more of the doge cuts and putting all these things into
law. So this is an important step, and I don't want them to miss that as they're debating
the merits of the bill. Okay, so that's the way Speaker Johnson sees it. He says, pump your
brakes. It's going to be okay. We will get to it when we get to it. Got it. Well, while they're
still figuring it out, mainstream media is up to trying to control the narrative here. Let me just
show you what they're saying. So these articles that lean left that ground news shows us,
again, if you want to follow on, go to ground.com.com. Here's one. What were Musk and Trump smoking?
Here's another one. What did Must achieve and was there anything in it for him? Here we go. Why has Elon Musk quit Donald Trump's administration? These are articles that lean left people. Now here's article that leans right. Fox News. What's next for Doge after Elon Musk's departure? Only just begun. And the bottom line here is both sides are biased. They're going to spin this story to their narratives. We know that. And that's why it's very important to do your own research. See the facts for yourself and come to your own conclusion. Don't take my word for it. Use ground news to help you do it for yourself.
So if you want to use this tool for yourself, all you have to do is go to ground.
Dot News 4 slash DeVore or you can download the mobile app, just use promo code DeVoree.
And it's going to give you access to everything that I showed you in this video, including 40% off the vantage plan.
So bigger, more beautiful.
Mr. Trump says yes, go ahead.
Speaker Johnson says not too much.
How do you read it right now, Senator Kennedy?
We'll end up passing something.
I don't know what that's something will look like.
Senator Johnson makes some good points.
We do need to work towards spending less in this bill.
I'm not real crazy about the changes that the House made, for example,
to the salt deduction.
I will support reducing spending
to the point that we run out of votes.
I mean, we've got to pass a bill.
And, you know, some people have a greater appetite
for reducing spending.
I'm one of them than others.
But we'll get it done.
If I were Senator Thune, though,
I would give us a time limit.
This bill's not like wine.
It doesn't get better with age.
We've got to wrap this up
about the next 60 days, and probably the president will have to get it off.
It won't be unanimous on our side.
Senator Paul, who I respect, Rand's not going to vote for anything ever.
I mean, he's just not.
And so you just got to throw that one away.
All right.
So that's the update on the big, beautiful bill.
So you heard it.
There will be changes in the Senate.
What those changes are remains to be seen.
But more importantly, what's going on with the doge cuts?
right? That's probably what people care about the most at this point, given the sacrifice that
Elon Musk put his company through, that is Tesla, and that his image, whatever he did have
going into the White House, that's gone. And, you know, maybe it doesn't matter in the end.
But I do believe he deserves much more respect than what he is getting from these lawmakers.
Now, let me just show you how disrespectful they are to Elon Musk. And I'm talking about Democrats.
hear what they want from him at this point. Take a look.
Elon Musk is backing away from his government work,
and there have been pieces the last few days about how he's a little disenchanted with politics in general.
In the New Jersey governor's race, you've been criticized by some
because you over the years received donations from a pack connected to space X.
What do you say to those who say that you've received support indirectly from Musk in the past?
Well, here in New Jersey, people know I have been one of the strongest people in fighting back against Elon Musk.
I have legislation suggesting we should drug test him, which I believe we should, if he is going to be in some of these positions of trust.
I'm glad to see he seems to be leaving our government.
I've had some probing questions about what he's doing in the Pentagon, what Doge is doing in the Pentagon.
I've flagged my concerns about the air traffic control and been very directive on what we need to.
to do to combat some of the undermining of our air traffic control at Newark and the safety
concerns I have at Newark, some of which were made worse by Doge. So I have been very opposed to
what we see Elon Musk doing. And certainly, I received support from people who are employees
of SpaceX. I've given that back to a local food bank because I want to make sure that people here
know exactly who I serve, and that's the people of New Jersey.
ladies and gentlemen that's what you call a political hack nothing but lies just lies so doge made
the newark airport worse not the fact that they moved the air traffic control system to
philadelphia right is that what you're saying that that's point number one point number two so
you want to drug test them if he steps in the white house but you don't want to drug test them
when he's sending classified equipment up to space right and these private and secret satellites
that the Department of Defense has launched into space too.
Oh, and by the way, the fact that NASA depends on his rockets,
the transport astronauts up to space.
But you don't want to, I guess, give him a drug test on that either.
I'm telling you, this is why politics, at some level, it's a joke.
Her constituents should be upset at that.
Oh, well, I just want them to know that I really work for them.
If you really work for them, that wouldn't come out of your mouth.
It would be, hey, what can we do to work with Elon Musk to make the Newark Airport better?
All right, so let's go to our next story.
This is Freddie O'Connell, the mayor of Nashville, who continues to make headlines
because he is under federal investigation for helping illegal aliens evade arrests allegedly.
Now he's made another mistake.
He has docs multiple ICE agents, and now he's trying to backtrack and apologize and state
that it was an accident.
Hear it for yourself.
It looks like Mayor O'Connell was involved in some sort of obstruction or the harboring of
criminal illegal aliens in the great city of Nashville, but also just last
Last night, his office put out the names of Homeland Security investigators and doxed our ICE enforcement officers.
They claimed it was a mistake.
There's zero chance it was a mistake, and there will be repercussions.
Our ICE enforcement officers are already facing a 400% increase in assaults against them.
And he's essentially handing over intelligence to these criminal gangs so that they can target our ICE enforcement officers.
It's wrong, and it's beneath the city of Nashville, and I hope he will face consequences.
So it's clear to me that Democrats care about the safety of illegal aliens, but not the safety of our law enforcement officials.
That's exactly what that is.
And the damage has been done.
There's nothing you could do about it.
Similar to when they were doxing Tesla owners, right?
They started posting people who owned Tesla's so they could find out where they live and vandalize their vehicle.
You see, the left is totally unhinged.
And, of course, people won't come out and condemn it if you're on the left.
Now, conservatives will scream about it because, again, this is nonsense.
and they will say that we're whining and, you know, who cares and all this other stuff.
But, hey, I thought you guys care about safety.
I thought you want everybody to be safe.
I guess not.
Now, here's what Tom Homan had to say as a reaction.
Take a look.
Yeah, the assault on ice officers are high.
The doxing of ice officers at an all-time high.
And people always complain.
Some of you hear us say, why they're wearing masks?
They've probably protect themselves from their families.
They've got a dangerous job to do.
And they're being doxed every day across this country.
I've experienced myself a hundred times.
I'm willing to take that because, you know, a position I hold.
And, you know, we're not running a popularity contest.
We're trying to enforce the laws enacted by Congress doing a smart, effective way.
So, yeah, the results are up, but it won't be tolerated.
We've already shown you, you put a hands on a nice officer.
You can be prosecuted to the highest extent of the law.
So we're not playing with any threats against ICE officers.
Doxing, we're going to look at Doxin.
We're going to take action on that also.
Okay, so at this point when you actually go look up the database,
where the names were originally published, they've been removed. And the mayor did come out and
say that, quote, any names mistakenly included in the information posted online have been removed.
So basically, they had created this website that if someone was concerned about, you know,
getting deported or seeing ICE officials in their neighborhood, they could go to this website
and see if there are any operations or incidents being reported. And they would include the name
of the individuals involved, et cetera, et cetera. All right. So let's go to our next story.
And this is really about Texas, and it does, in fact, okay, so in our next story here, the Ten Commandments,
I didn't know that posting the Ten Commandments in a classroom would be so harmful to children.
Well, according to this Texas State representative who's hardcore progressive, that's what he believes.
Take a look.
I love the Ten Commandments.
I've tried to build my life on the Ten Commandments.
But what does it mean to truly live out those Ten Commandments?
The Apostle Paul wrote in Romans 13,
the commandments you shall not commit adultery,
you shall not murder, you shall not steal,
you shall not covet,
and whatever other command there may be
are summed up in this one command.
Love your neighbor as yourself.
Love does no harm to a neighbor.
Therefore, love is the fulfillment of the law.
The Hindu student,
who sits in a classroom is our neighbor.
The Buddhist student who sits in a classroom is our neighbor.
The Sikh student who sits in a classroom as our neighbor.
The atheist student who sits in a classroom is our neighbor.
And we are called to love them as ourselves.
But if this bill passes,
we're going to put a poster
on the wall of that classroom that says,
thou shalt not worship any god before me we're putting up a poster that says their religion is inferior
we're putting up a poster that says their faith is not welcome here all right you guys help me make
sense of this because i'm not too sure i can even handle it listen this guy is a progressive and a
christian how can someone hold progressive values and christian values at the same time last time i checked
they do not align with each other.
You guys let me know if I'm wrong on this, please.
But I just don't see it.
That's number one.
Number two, this guy needs to understand something
that allowing the Ten Commandments to be posted in the classroom
is not extremism and does not harm children.
I'll tell you what actually harms children in case you guys need a refresher.
In classrooms across America, kids are being exposed to drag queen story hour,
gender ideology, and critical race theory.
That's actually harming.
children. And finally, this isn't about oppression or forcing people to convert to Christianity.
This is about reflecting the moral worldview that shaped America to begin with. Can someone please
let this guy understand that? Can someone please remind him of that fact? Now, here's what he said
on CNN. Yeah, my granddad was a Baptist preacher in South Texas. I've been going to the same
church since I was two years old, and I'm now in seminary studying to be.
become a minister myself one day. So my faith means more to me than anything. But I believe that this
bill is not only unconstitutional, un-American, but I also think it's deeply unchristian. It not only
violates the separation of church and state in this country, but it also violates the core
teachings of Christianity. You know, the Apostle Paul said that the Ten Commandments are summed up
in one command. Love thy neighbor as by self. The Hindu student who's sitting in a Texas public school
classroom is my neighbor. The Sikh student, the Buddhist student, the atheist student who's sitting
in a Texas public school classroom is my neighbor. And I'm called to love them as myself and forcing
my religion down their throats through government action is not love. So here's a tip for the
congressman, okay? If he would just make his argument about state versus religion, he might have a
better way of presenting this. But when he starts going down the road of talking about this is
unconstitutional, this is anti-Christian, this is not what the Ten Commandments are about,
now you lost me, okay? I mean, that's just the way that I see it. Okay, so let's go to our next
story, because if the idea is to make things better, I don't believe Democrats have figured it out
because this new influencer believes they know exactly what men want and what Democrats should be doing to get their vote.
Take a look.
The reason why Republican messaging resonates with men is because men want bad things, right?
It's like men want to have sex and like own women, right?
Like they want to dominate everybody and Republicans say you get to do that.
And then Democrats can't say that.
So we just lost men.
It's over, right?
Like, what are you talking about?
Like a lot of times it will be men that are liberals who will like agree with that shit.
I'm like, dude, what are you, like, what is going on?
Like, we're, there's a lot of men that don't think that way, obviously.
And it's just such a negative view to take on like half of a human race.
Well, I also, I also think it's just so abundantly clear that the people who say these things don't actually spend time talking to young men.
I, you know this because we know each other in real life, but I spent a lot of time on college campuses.
And I spend a lot of time with young men.
I love young men.
I love frat guys.
And in that, I've realized, like, even the ones that identify as conservative are almost always pro-choice.
They're almost always pro-gay marriage.
You'd be surprised at the number of them who support of Black Lives Matter.
And so I feel like people just kind of lump them into this box when the truth is, again, a lot of them are with us on the issues.
They're just not part of our coalition because they feel like they're not welcomed in it.
All right, so back-to-back stories of individuals in front of a mic, embarrassing the thing they claim to be.
All right, you got the congressman claiming posting Ten Commandments is anti-Christian.
That's a ridiculous argument.
If he wants to argue state versus religion, I'm all ears.
And then you have this thing claiming conservative men support BLM, gay marriage, and abortion.
What are you smoking?
Right?
And this type of gas lighting is rooted in ignorance, ladies and gentlemen.
I'd be shocked if people actually eat this up.
But we have to call it out.
And in regards to whoever this person spoke to on the campus that claimed to be conservative
and supported these values, I'd be hard pressed to truly believe that.
But let's say those people do exist.
I'm willing to put money down that these people don't even know who they are.
They're probably still wet behind the ears.
They have not experienced life in its totality.
So for me to truly believe that they understand what it means to be a conservative at that
juncture in their life, I'm not buying that.
And that's no disrespect.
I'm just saying that's the reality.
I remember when I was that young.
I didn't know anything.
Okay, but I do want to know what you guys think about this video today, starting with the doge cuts.
Okay, Republicans have failed to codify them at this point.
There's not even a proposal that kind of at least outlines what they plan to do.
And I'm just not seeing any action on their behalf.
Let me know if you see it the same way and also share the same frustration that Elon Musk has.
So that's the first thing.
Secondly, in regards to this Nashville mayor, Mr. O'Connell, who not only,
is helping illegal aliens evade arrest, but also doxing ICE agents and said it was an accident.
Yeah, okay, let me know what you think about that. And then the Christian progressive from Texas,
he believes the Ten Commandments are going to harm children, and it's anti-Christian and unconstitutional.
Let me know what you really think about that in the comments section below.
Now, earlier today, in a bombshell ruling the International Court of Trade in Manhattan,
yes, in America, by the way, because some of you guys don't think there is a court that
focuses on trade in America, but there is, ruled against President Trump and stated that his
tariffs are a no-go. They blocked him. However, later on in the day, an appeals court overturned that
ruling. So if you miss out on those details, what you have to do is click on that video because
it's coming up right now.
You know,
