Summary

Given that Republicans have made it clear they will not fight on appropriations bills, debt ceilings, or reauthorization bills, it leaves us with budget reconciliation as their only opportunity for create enduring change. Today, I lay out the case for a course correction against the existing plans from Trump, Johnson, and Thune. The focus is too centered on taxes and things that can be done executively. The focus needs to shift to spending cuts and downsizing of government. As always, I offer my idea of what I would do for budget reconciliation and how I would message it around immigration cuts and welfare reform. If we fail to establish enduring victories in Washington or in the red states, we will be on the hook for devastation when Democrats inevitably come back into power. Moreover, regardless of the Democrats, the crushing cost of living will continue. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

0:56.1	defense trying to block them from passing new bad things. Will it be like that? Or will we
1:03.4	finally fulfill the mandate? And the truth be told is, you know, the jury's still out. I mean, the bottom line is, the bad news is nothing has
