Summary
Brian Mudd fills in for Clay and Buck, he opens with sharp commentary on House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ extended “magic minute” speech, a procedural move delaying the final vote on the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act." Mudd humorously critiques Jeffries’ filibuster-style tactics, drawing comparisons to Cory Booker’s past Senate performance and highlighting the strategic implications for House Republicans.
The show dives deep into the legislative showdown in Congress, emphasizing the GOP’s push to pass President Trump’s signature bill before July 4th. Mudd explores the political theater surrounding the vote, including reactions from figures like AOC and Chuck Schumer, and the broader implications for Trump’s second-term agenda.
The hour transitions into foreign policy, where Mudd and guest Jon Decker, iHeartRadio’s White House correspondent, analyze Trump’s recent NATO summit success, the crippling of Iran’s nuclear program, and new trade deals with the UK and Vietnam. Decker praises Trump’s strategic use of executive power and legislative influence, noting his rapid pace of executive orders and legislative wins compared to his first term. The segment closes with legal analysis of the Diddy trial verdict, where Decker discusses the implications of the not-guilty ruling on major charges, the high bond amount, and the possibility of a presidential pardon.
Mudd speaks with Congressman Jimmy Patronis from Florida, who expresses frustration over House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries' record-breaking "magic minute" speech that has delayed the vote. Patronis describes the speech as "a colossal waste of time" and "ridiculous," noting that Jeffries appears to be attempting to break Kevin McCarthy's record for the longest continuous floor speech.
The conversation shifts to the fiscal conservative perspective on the bill, with Mudd questioning Patronis about concerns regarding federal debt and deficit implications. Despite some controversial elements like allowing certain illegal immigrants access to Medicaid, Patronis indicates he will vote in favor of the legislation.
Brian Mudd gives listeners a detailed breakdown of how the BBB legislation will financially impact average American families and taxpayers, emphasizing that "the round trip impact of this bill is so much more than the average person begins to understand."

| 0:04.6 | Vice President J.D. Vance is now lifting the veil on the mindset of Republican lawmakers who are stuck sitting there in the House chamber, listening to Hakeem Jeffrey's talk before they are allowed to vote. |
| 0:16.2 | Vance posted this. GOP congressman just texted me. I was undecided on the bill, but then I watched |
| 0:21.7 | Hakeem Jeffrey's performance, and now I am a firm, yes. |
| 0:26.8 | Yeah, well, that probably didn't go quite as planned, and it's still not really going |
| 0:33.1 | quite as planned. Fox's Peter Ducey on the state of affairs as, uh, I've got to hand it to |
| 0:40.7 | Hakeem. You know, I could stand up there for over seven hours at this point and, you know, |
| 0:47.1 | throw my arms and rant and rave a little bit and I'd do all that. The real challenge, the real |
| 0:53.7 | skill in this type of situation comes in with the bathroom situation. |
| 0:59.8 | That is the real challenge. |
| 1:02.2 | You know, there's no way that I'm seven hours. |
| 1:05.0 | I'm throwing my arms and I'm, you know, shouting and doing the ranting and raving without needing a pit stop or two, maybe three. |

| 1:30.5 | the legislative version of Prince, because it's the act that was formerly known as the One Big |

| 1:46.2 | Brian Mudd, it's a pleasure to be here with you. |
| 1:49.3 | I am broadcasting from my home station, WJ&O, in West Palm Beach. |
| 1:54.0 | It is always a pleasure to be here with you. |
| 1:56.0 | And we have maybe a celebration that will be on our hands before the end of the show today |
| 2:02.8 | as we take a look what's going on right now in the house. |
