Rubio’s Power Play, Big Bill Chaos, and Food Stamp Fears: Is the Deep State Done?

Explore the latest political developments in our podcast, diving into Marco Rubio’s unanimous confirmation as Secretary of State and his potential 2028 presidential or VP ambitions post-2026 midterms. We analyze the constitutional clarity on foreign policy, highlighting the executive branch’s dominance and the judiciary’s limited role. The podcast also tackles the contentious "Big Beautiful Bill," facing hurdles in the House Rules Committee with its 1,100-page complexity and proposed amendments. The SALT deduction debate intensifies, with blue-state Republicans pushing for higher caps to ease tax burdens. We question the Congressional Budget Office’s scoring reliability, arguing frontloaded costs and backloaded savings skew projections, while immigration expenses strain budgets. With Andrew Clyde facing political pressure, we examine claims of exaggerated food stamp cut impacts and the broader narrative of fiscal responsibility versus social welfare. Tune in for insights on whether the U.S. has reached a point of no return after years of perceived deep state influence.

The constitution is very clear on foreign policy. The secretary of state is in the executive branch and the judicial branch does not have any leverage on foreign affairs. Marco Rubio got a unanimous vote.

Putting pressure on the freshmen republicans. The republicans in the blue states where their state and local taxes are enormous, the SALT deduction is needed to be as high as they can get it.
The AJC - What could cuts to food stamps mean for georgians. They are going to push Andrew Clyde with an opponent. They are wanting you to believe that your kids are going to starve. They want you to believe the Bill cuts funding for food stamps, cut federal support for medicaid and increases the budget deficit. The CBO cannot score legislation anymore. They frontload the bill and have backend savings that will never happen because of the next administration. There is no such thing that has a true CBO score. The people that do not belong here are costing us billions of dollars.
They are in the house rules committee that started at 1am. They are offering enormous amounts of amendments to bring it out of the rules committee. It could get out of committee and voted on tonight. Who has had the time to read the 1100 pages to be able to vote on it.
The four years when the deep state controlled the country, are we now at a point of no return.
