Rick Scott SHAFTED for John Thune under Trump
FULL TRANSCRIPT
well it's official we have the new Mitch
McConnell and the new Chuck Schumer and
his name is John Thon John Thon will be
the leader of the Senate and a majority
leader and what I'd like to do is give
you a quick primer of what his goals are
as initiatives on
deregulation tax cuts what implications
he's going to have for you as an
American so without further Ado let's
get right into it speaker or not speaker
rather majority leader John th just got
elected VI a secret ballot little bit of
background on him he was born in
1961 and when he was about 22 years old
he graduated college at 23 years old he
got his MBA yeah I know it's like a year
year and a half later uh and so he
graduated in 1984 then he went right
into working for a senator as an aid in
85 which basically means he spent his
entire career he's like 63 now in
politics uh at one point or at least in
government at one point he worked as a
director for the state Railroad in South
Dakota in 1996 so about 11 years after
he graduated with his uh or uh about 12
years after he graduated with his NBA he
ran for uh US House of Representatives
he ended up getting that seat in '96 9
years later became a senator he's been a
chair of the Republican policy committee
he's been a senate majority whip uh that
was from 2019 through 2021 so basically
during that first wave there of co uh
since Democrats had you know power at
one point he's been a minority whip
during that term whips are basically
people who quote unquote whip up votes
to try to pass bills hey do we have
enough what do you need what do you need
okay you'll vote Yes if I give you this
all right let me see what I can do you
know you're basically trying to
negotiate a little ear marks if you will
into packages but anyway he's been
trying to replace Mitch McConnell since
March and it finally happened uh you got
SC that got the boot and you got John th
in he's an Evangelical again he's from
South Dakota he's a senator at one point
people were thinking that he was going
to be a vice presidential pick for John
McCain who remembers McCain and then
McCain's like all right John Thun I pick
Sarah
Palin okay uh but anyway let's go ahead
and listen to what he says in terms of
policy priorities right now which I
think is useful to look yeah because
you're not only going to get to see his
face but you're going to get to see how
he talks how he cares himself I
personally think he comes across as a
reasonable politician uh you know it's
still a politician obviously so you know
maybe there's like an irony in saying
reasonable politician but hey you know
what you got to do with what you got to
do or with what you got and butchered
that whatever if if if you were worried
about
butchering make sure to get life

Apple pay or Android pay for it all
right let's get into this oh uh oh
quickly also if you want free stocks if
you're ever trading metkevin.com Weeble
it's where I um put all the lines I'll
link both of these down below they're
both paid promotions all right with that
said let's get into this hold the house
obviously we have a legislative vehicle
available to us called budget recation
the my bad I have it on uh 2x speed
because that's how I often listen to
things but that's not going to work well
if uh you're on 2x as well cuz then it's
4X legislative vehicle available to us
called budget reconciliation which the
Democrats use extensively uh when they
had all three but when you have unified
control of government it gives you an
opportunity to do some things obviously
we've got to extend the TR Trump tax
cuts which if we don't ends up being a
$4 trillion doll tax increase on the
economy and almost keep keep that in
mind by the way it's extremely common
for Republicans to pass tax cuts that
have sort of an expiration but then if
Republicans have power again in the
future they they want to renew those tax
cuts because otherwise it turns into a
tax increase so in this is why they say
like nothing in government is ever
temporary because basically the way it
works is like you pass tax cuts under
the argument or premise that they're
going to be temporary but then when they
come up for expiration you're like oh we
better extend these because otherwise
we're increasing taxes it's like no you
cut taxes for 5 Years or or you know
whatever it is 7 years you cut taxes for
7 years that was the tax cut yeah yeah
yeah but now it's expiring it's going to
go up again that's a tax increase we
don't want that I mean look don't get me
wrong I'm all for you know lower taxes
but that's quick way this sort of works
this is why you'll often also get
Republicans that extend Democratic
initiatives as well so for example if uh
like I kind of speculate that they might
not get rid of all of the tax credits
that Democrats passed for even electric
vehicles and otherwise because oh now
you're making cars more expensive you're
causing inflation unless you extend the
expiration it's crazy $2,000 per average
family in this country uh I think energy
policy I think border policy uh you know
if you look at the economic agenda it's
also a regulatory and the cost of
regulation's been $1.8 trillion since
Biden Harris took office so lighter
touch on regulations uh again extending
the tax policy bonus depreciation
interest deductibility R&D expensing the
things that get you the big growth in
the economy we need progrowth policies
on the economy and then we've got always
got to be paying attention to what's
happening with respect to National
Security uh because we live in a very
dangerous world so I think those issues
are going to be front and center and if
we have unified control of the
government we're in a much better
position to to enact an agenda that that
is consistent with accomplishing those
goals might be so there you go that this
sort of gives you a quick little outline
of what Jon thun's priorities are where
his head is as you can see levelheaded
person this was film that was by the way
at like 5:00 a.m. a few days ago I
watched it live when it happened uh and
I that's why I wanted to bring this clip
up I wanted to introduce you to him in
case you're not familiar with him this
is basically your new Mitch McConnell
now why does why do they matter well
they matter because like even if you
have a republican Coalition that wants
to bring a bill up the leader could if
they want just sit on it and never bring
a bill up to vote you remember that with
Mitch m during Co and everybody was
worried about inflation I mean
rightfully so right but this is their
job and they also work to negotiate
legislation they're really big part of
frankly what you could call sort of the
broader envelope of the Trump
Administration for getting policy and
priorities through because without then
them you just can't get anything done in
Congress it's already hard enough to get
things done but they're very important
uh and they're right there with sort of
the Speaker of House uh speaker of the
house uh and so we'll see how uh how
things here move on getting these
policies implemented and introduced I'm
excited to see it also excited to see
how they use budget reconciliation
remember usually in order to pass a bill
in the Senate you need 60 votes but
Republicans don't have 60 votes now they
could pass things with 50 plus one a
simple majority if they call it budget
reconciliation but there are rules
around budget reconciliation like the
bird rule which says hey you know it has
to actually relate to revenues or the
budget or taxes and so then what happens
is you usually get a big budget Bill
everybody tries to hook everything onto
and then somebody goes through usually
the parliamentarian and goes nah we
can't we can't hook that onto this we
can't hook that onto this okay we could
hook this on anyway these are all very
important things you know what is
actually interesting is I wonder who
picks the parliamentarian let's do a
really quick look who picks the Senate
parliamentarian it's a funny word that
you have to spell ah often chosen by the
Senate Majority Leader so that's
actually a really big deal because that
means th has potential control over who
that person is and that matters because
it would give them greater guidance and
flexibility on what kind of priorities
can they pass with just 51 votes this is
why he already references oh Democrats
use it all the time he's basically
saying now it's my
turn I don't blame him either that's how
the game's played so good on you man all
right all right so there you have it
anyway John th for yall congratulations
to John th why not advertise these
things that you told us here I feel like
nobody else knows about this we'll we'll
try a little advertising and see how it
goes congratulations man you have done
so much people love you people look up
to you Kevin PA there financial analyst
and YouTuber meet Kevin always great to
get your take
