Oh, baby.

All right.

Hello.

Welcome to it.

It is the, what is it, the 18th of July.

It's a Friday.

Happy Friday to you. I am Derek Hunter. This is the, what is it, the 18th of July. It's a Friday. Happy Friday to you.

Hi, I am Derek Hunter. This is the Derek Hunter podcast and we're sitting around.

It's around midnight. It's could be breaking news. Could be breaking news at any moment as the House is getting ready to vote on the rescission package back from the Senate. This thing has to be done today, has to be done Friday, or the cuts will not happen, and the spending will be pushed out. Now, that's going to be a

great day for America that we can finally defund these people my whole life it has been we're going to

defund we've got to defund we must defund and yes we should and nobody did it it's one of

the damnedest things that everybody agree everybody republican we should do this we should do this and

then whenever it came time where the Republicans could do it,

Republicans didn't do it.

And you go, that seems a little bit weird if it should be done.

If you campaign on doing it and you have the ability, the power to votes to do it and it doesn't

happen, I might begin to question your sincerity on the issue.

I'm not cynical enough to do that, am I? Well, now we've got a president who is going to push this

thing through. I imagine there will be if this finally does, and I don't know if I'll still be

recording at that time, but if it finally does end up getting dragged over the finish line,

I imagine there will be a signing ceremony along the lines of the big beautiful bill.

There'll be an event at the White House with Donald Trump's swollen ankles and hand makeup?
