Elon Musk learned something new today. It's possible to cut spending through Senate legislation that only requires a majority vote, meaning Republicans could get it done without a single Democrat vote if they can get all but two GOP Senators to agree.The billionaire leader of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was "elated" by the news, as I discussed on today's episode of The JD Rucker Show. Here's the skinny from Axios...(Axios)—Elon Musk and Republican senators are eyeing a package to claw back tens or hundreds of billions of dollars in federal spending after meeting in a closed-door lunch on Wednesday.Why it matters: Musk has been leading the charge on spending cuts from the White House. Some lawmakers want to make his actions more permanent by making them law.* No decisions have been made, but there was some early, general support for the idea being pushed by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) after the lunch.An infamous deficit hawk, Paul pitched Elon Musk on a massive rescission package during a lunch on Wednesday, he told reporters. Such a package would undo federal funding already approved by Congress.* The bill would also only require 51 votes to pass the Senate — no Democrats needed.* Paul said specific numbers weren't discussed, but he'd like to see $500 billion.Zoom in: Musk "was elated" at the idea, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) told reporters. "I think he didn't realize it could be done at 51."* "I do think there is a genuine appetite to continue this work within the legislative branch," Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) said after the lunch.* Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said he backs Paul's plan.Between the lines: President Trump has looked at ways to get around the 1974 Impoundment Control Act, which limits the president's power to withhold funds already appropriated by Congress.* The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled against Trump, requiring roughly $1.9 billion in foreign aid via USAID still be disbursed.* "This Court does not look like it's warming towards the impoundment theory," Hawley said.* It's not a good sign for other actions DOGE might want to take to cut spending without Congress.Flashback: Republicans attempted to roll back $15 billion in government spending with a rescission package during the first Trump administration.* But it failed due to "no" votes from Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Richard Burr (R-N.C.).* Collins is now chair of the Senate appropriations committee, which plays a key role in the rescission process.Support independent journalism on multiple fronts by shopping at The Alex Jones Store https://jdrucker.com/infowars

Democrats are desperately trying to reverse their fortunes. They’ve been struggling ever since the 2024 election to figure out what they did wrong and how they can correct it.The only viable solutions are to change their policies or change their messaging. Since changing their policies would mean aligning more with President Donald Trump, they’ve opted to change their messaging in both style and function.One of the first iterations of this new, “bold” plan was to post a repetitive video made by at least 22 Senators. They literally repeat the same thing in an attempt to sell “The Big Lie,” a strategy first used by Nazis.Fitting.I talked about that on today’s episode of The JD Rucker Show, plus I discussed how DOGE is uncovering so many clear examples of waste, fraud, and corruption that it’s becoming very difficult to argue against the group.On today's episode of The JD Rucker Show, we will be discussing:- Cringe-Worthy Democrats Repeat 'The Big Lie' in Awkward Messaging Ahead of President Trump's Speech- DOGE Drops Examples of Improper Payments They've Observed Already- President Trump Halts Ukraine Aid- Yes, It's Time to Divorce From NATO and Have a Trial Separation With EuropeOur Sponsors:- Jim Rickards Warnings: https://jdrucker.com/crisis- Long-Term Storage Beef (Promo Code "JDR"): https://prepperfarms.com- Bitcoin-Backed IRA: https://jdrucker.com/crypto- The Alex Jones Store: https://jdrucker.com/infowars- Faith-Driven Gold Company: https://rumblegold.com- Christian Coffee: https://jdrucker.com/coffee- Long-Term Storage Meds: https://jdrucker.com/meds- MyPillow (Promo Code "JDR"): https://mypillow.com/meds

Before the election, the focus of The JD Rucker Show was on politics. Sure, we mixed in discussions about culture and faith, but the show was very much like so many out there in the podcast world.
Not anymore.
