Chapter 1: What are the key highlights of the budget bill?

4.11 - 6.852 John Bickley

We did our job, rolled up our sleeves, got it done. We're really proud of that effort.

0

7.072 - 11.454 Georgia Howe

A budget bill, an Oval Office showdown, and a split decision by the Supreme Court.

11.514 - 23.281 John Bickley

If you go and apply to be a charter school and you're a science-based school, you can get in. And then you come in and you say, oh, we're a religious school. It's like, oh no, can't do that.

Details emerge about the man who gunned down a young couple outside a Jewish museum.

40.435 - 53.761 Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection)

He was from Chicago, affiliated with some far left-wing organizations, and those organizations very active in anti-Israel, pro-Hamas, pro-Palestinian protests.

Chapter 2: What happened during Trump's meeting with the President of South Africa?

53.901 - 58.884 Georgia Howe

And Colorado just made misgendering a discriminatory act. Parents are pushing back.

0

59.124 - 66.676 Caroline Leavitt

We'll see lawsuits. We will see ballot measures. We will see people not complying with the law across the board.

112.58 - 118.824 Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection)

It's been a busy few days in Washington with big news coming on the budget bill, South Africa, and even the Supreme Court.

119.024 - 125.108 Georgia Howe

Here with a dispatch from our nation's capital is Daily Wire deputy managing editor Tim Rice. Hey, Tim, so what's the latest in D.C.?

125.349 - 143.939 Tim Pierce

Yeah, good morning, guys. Certainly the biggest news of the week is that early yesterday morning, the House of Representatives passed a comprehensive tax and budget package, what the president has been calling the Big Beautiful Bill. This was a huge win for President Trump, who pushed congressional Republicans to pass a single bill rather than several smaller pieces of legislation.

143.959 - 162.667 Tim Pierce

It's perhaps an even bigger win for House Speaker Mike Johnson, who not only rallied his caucus to this seemingly impossible task, but did so by his self-imposed Memorial Day deadline, which many people thought was impossible. The bill passed the House 215 to 214, with every Democrat voting no and a handful of Republicans dissenting as well.

Chapter 3: What was the outcome of the Supreme Court ruling?

376.218 - 397.752 Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection)

America is built on hard work and powered by American energy. Chevron has spent $44 billion with local businesses across all 50 states since 2022, fueling infrastructure and communities, all while strengthening local economies. Last year, Chevron increased U.S. production nearly 20%, powering communities and businesses from the heartlands to the coasts.

Two Israeli embassy staffers were gunned down in Washington this week in what officials are calling an act of terrorism.

413.325 - 421.112 Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection)

Daily Wire senior editor Cabot Phillips has the latest on the tragedy. So Cabot, a heinous crime in our nation's capital. What do we know?

421.132 - 440.507 Cabot Phillips

Yeah, on Wednesday night, the American Jewish Committee was hosting a celebration at the Capitol Jewish Museum just blocks away from the U.S. Capitol. As the event ended, a lone gunman was waiting. He opened fire, killing 26-year-old Sarah Milgram and 30-year-old Yaron Lashinsky, both of whom worked at the Israeli embassy and were also in a relationship.

440.887 - 460.421 Cabot Phillips

According to family members, Yaron had purchased an engagement ring last week. He planned to propose to Sarah next week on a trip to Jerusalem. Shortly after opening fire at the gunman, 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez entered the museum and told attendees to call the police. Footage taken at the scene shows him holding up a red keffiyeh, and while he was handcuffed, he chanted two words.

163.207 - 168.451 Tim Pierce

The legislation now goes to the Republican-controlled Senate, who Trump hopes will wrap things up by July 4th.

168.651 - 174.755 Georgia Howe

Well, certainly a major legislative achievement for the GOP. Now, what exactly is in the bill that makes it so big and beautiful?

175.135 - 184.802 Tim Pierce

Well, John, what isn't in this bill? Russ Vogt, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, joked yesterday that there was so much good stuff in the legislation, it was impossible for him to single out the most important part.
