00:00Yes.
00:01Leader Schumer.
00:02Mr. Leader, as you're saying, the Trump administration says they'll get money from tariffs, they'll
00:06use it for tax cuts.
00:07This is at the same time as Leader Thune seems to be proposing, as part of reconciliation,
00:13a zero baseline for the current tax cuts.
00:18The parliamentarian will probably have to rule on that, but do you think that that comports
00:21with Senate procedure possibly?
00:23Okay, that's a different problem, but another huge problem he's causing.
00:26It wasn't the same, but you're so nice.
00:31The bottom line is this.
00:33If they go through current policy baseline, it will increase the deficit on the United
00:40States by $30 trillion, virtually doubling it.
00:44And who's going to pay the price?
00:47Us, our children, our grandchildren.
00:49It just makes no sense.
00:51It's hocus pocus.
00:53But Mr. Chip Roy, looking for the beard, Chip Roy called it fairy dust.
01:00It's a scam.
01:02It's a scam to allow them to get more tax cuts for the wealthy, and it's going to hurt
01:07the rest of us.
01:09Thank you, everybody.
01:10Do you think Elon Musk should keep playing in these races?
