Use the slash Ben so they know that we sent you. Okay. So we begin today with the latest on the budget. So the budget has passed in the Senate. The budget passed in the Senate by a vote of 65 to 32. It passed overwhelmingly in the House by 252 to 174, something like that. There are a lot of Republicans who are very unhappy with this budget. I am among those Republicans unhappy with this budget. I called it yesterday on the program a crap sandwich. That's because every omnibus is by definition a crap sandwich. It's why it's an omnibus. The whole purpose of an omnibus is to put a bunch of stuff you like in there with a bunch of stuff you don't and then say to folks, if you don't vote for this bill, you're voting against all the good things, right? You're voting down all of the goodies. Yesterday, we went through how the bill doesn't cover anything for the border wall, essentially, how it doesn't do anything about DACA, how the bill continues to ensure that Planned Parenthood gets funded.

| 3:05.6 | So there are a bunch of Republicans who, of course, were very upset about this. Ted Cruz was very upset about this. Mike Lee was very upset about it. Rand Paul was quite upset about the usual suspects in the Senate, who you'd rely upon to be upset about a budget-busting $1.3 billion, a trillion dollar bill. Those people were very upset about it, predictably enough, but they weren't able to stop |
| 3:24.9 | in the Senate. It rolls through with 65 votes, a almost veto-proof majority. So Trump immediately |
| 3:31.4 | comes out and says, maybe he will veto it. What's weird about this, of course, is that that's not |
| 3:36.2 | what he'd been saying a day before. So here's what he tweeted today, quote, I am considering a veto of |
| 3:40.6 | the omnibus |
