What a weekend. President Donald Trump signed the big beautiful bill on Independence Day on July 4th,

signaling a massive legislative accomplishment. Tax cut, no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security,

huge investment in border security. $175 billion for ICE. But you would think that, hey, we get $175 billion for ice.

But you would think that, hey, we get $175 billion for ice.

We're going to get mass deportations.

We're going to be able to have now the largest deportation effort ever.

Yes, in theory.

But in practice, there's something else afoot. Literally, the day before President Donald Trump was signing the big beautiful bill. I got a couple phone calls from people

that you would call members of the ruling class, a lot of money and a lot of connections.

They said, Charlie, isn't this amazing?

We passed the big, beautiful bill.

I said, oh, yes, sir.

And they said, now we need mass amnesty.

What?

I said, we haven't even signed the bill yet.

They said, yeah, you know, these deportations, we're going to lose the midterms because of the deportations. The people on the right, they'll understand, and we need to come to the middle,

and we need to legalize the 25 million people here in this country. I was speechless.

Because here I am actually thinking, a little naive, we're going to sign this big, beautiful

bill, and we're going to sign this big beautiful bill and we're

actually going to get mass deportations on and erupted from an asymmetrical attack.

So we have somewhere between 20 to 15 million illegal aliens in this country.

We don't actually know the numbers.
